Mistaken Idea. , It is a very general error of 'ender - standing that whee the Panama Canal is completed the ,watere of the Atlantic will meet and mingle with those of the Paeifia. They will not, unlese they meet down at Cape Horn.. There has been 6 half accoptod theory that the waters of the Paeffie are on a higher level than those of the Atlantic on this side of the isthmus, and several Nvriters have said that a -swift current might flow through the, canal. Tbe error is easily discerned when one thinke .for a 'moment. • The canal is not on the water level., but fez- 'above it, nearly 100 fee.t On the At- lantle side the canal has been out some dist:ince inland th where the mountain begins 'to rise. and there a great look is • built, and when a ship enters it, it is rateed up to the level of the canal bY means et river water, not sea. Crossing the mountain by canal and lake full of fresh -water, the ship_ is let down into the salt water on the Pacific side. The salt waters do not meet, but are almost as far apart as ever. , ; A Freak Suggestion. . • One Ernest Archdeacon, described as the most prominent patron of aviation In France, comes to the front with the latest freak suggestion of peeudo-soience. N. Archdeacon node himself Jaded with the tedious pace of a 125 -mile -an -hour plane and the monotony of being cabin - ed, cribbed and oonfined in the -present &friaries, and he propcses being shot to various parts of the solar system by ra- dium power.

M. „Archdeacon seems th forget that atmos- phere to breathe is one of the little eon- veniences which earth dwellers might miss in a journey - to our airless satel- lite and that they might also find the temperature of Venus a little too high for comfort. Besides, radium is already so eaarce as te be a ocineiderable item in the ecist of living. and we 'have other uses for it than as fuel for interplanetary limited expresses. .

Already, however, the costs of the ease amount to $2,048,750, as estimated only at the rate fixed by the regulations of Prussian procedure. Sundry expenditures have to be added th thie amount and 41 is estimated that the total costs will have amounted to very nearly $2,500,000.

TO ENLARGE SOO CANAL Proposal to Give Continuous 30 - Foot Channel to the Allende. A despatch from Ottawa says.: As a preliminary to the enlargement of the Canadian eanal at Sault Ste, Marie to a depth of 31 feet, the Government is arranging for the expropriation of Whitefish Island and an additional strip of land along the south side of the present canal. Most of the property is owned by the Algoma Central Rail- way, and the Department of justice is now instituting expropriation proceedings. The actual work of enlarging the canal must, of course, wait until sanctioned by Parliament, but it is understood that a, vote will be ask- ed at the next session of Parlia- ment for a preliminary survey and for the preparation of plaits. The enlargement of the Soo Ca- nal is a logical sequence to the enlargement of the Welland Canal. The next step will be the enlarge- ment of the whole St. Lawrence canal system so as to give a eoli- th:m.3ns thirty-foot channel eight through from the head of the lakes to the Atlantic. • „ The formal announeement of. the whole scheme will probalrly not be made for some considerable time yet, but meanwhile the enlargement of the Welland and the Soo Canals will be proeeeded with.

The payment of $2,500,000 repre- sents a fax of from 1 to 4 per cent. on property worth between $65,- 000,000 and $67,000,000. It was learned also that the Morgan art collections are not included in the assets of the estate on which the fax was paid, nor is. -the value of Mr. Morgan's good -will in J. P.
