THE PANAMA CANAL.
i American Plans Versos French.
. Comparing the plan adopted by the
3?ew Panama Canal Company with
that recommended by the Isthmian
Canal Commission .the very different
circomstances tinder which their work
was done should be remembered. This
difference lies not so m uch in the time
available for study as in -the general
problem which each li3d to consider.
The French Company found itself
^with an unfinished property on which
enormous sums had been expended,
which was worse than useless in its
present condition, and which could be
. saved only by completing it in the
shortest possible time and with the
least possible expenditure of money
which was yet .to be obtained. So
marked were these conditions that the
plan advocated by Gen. Abbot, of two
lakes the level of the lower and larger
of which was to extend through the
Culebra cut, was rejected in favor of
a plan in which the summit level was
placed at 45 .feet above this lake and
reached from the lake by a flight of
two locks, while a feeder of complicated
and difficult construction was provided
to supply the summit level from the
upper lake above the Alhajuela dam.
This plan was but little less cost
ly than the plan which made the lake
the summit level, but was accepted be
cause it was thought that it could be.
completed in two years' less time. ;
The French Company adopted a bot
tom width generally of about 100 feet
and a depth of nine meters, about 29.5
feet, but in the portion of the canal
through the low country north of Bohio
the plans showed the original dimen
sions adopted more than twenty years
ago by Lesseps with a bottom width
of 72 feet. It was also impressed with
the value of the work already done and
felt it necessary to use as much of it
as was possible. The Isthmian Canal
Commission had a different problem;
thd canal must be the one best adapt
ed to the demands of commercial and
military service. The depth was in
creased to 35 feet, the bottom width to
150 feet, and the greater the amount
of free niavgation with broad chanels
the better. Instead of using the old
channel of the contracted Lesseps di
mensions between Bohio and Colon, its
plans were based on full dimensions
here,' although this enlargement in
volved the removal of a very large por
tion of the spoil banks deposited when
the original excavation was made,
and made ' the amount of work to be
done here almost as great as if nothing
had ever been "done. The Commis
sion felt less bound by the value of
old work discarded partially completed
diversion channels which did not ap
pear to be in the best location, and
generally endeavored to get the canal
which would be most satisfactory
when done wifehin reasonable limits'
of time and cost.
The Commission's plan lends itself
to the opening of the canal before
it is completed in its entirety. Much
of the structural work can be deferred
until the canal is actually put in ser
vice. The Gigante spillway, the Bohio
dam, and the diversion channel west
of Gatun must be completed.
AU the locks are in duplicate, but
the construction of the second lock
-can be postponed till after the opening
of the canal. The provision for addi
tional , storage of water to supply the
waste of the dry season can also be
deferred.?George S. Morison, in
Ths- Engineering Magazine for Jan
Tiary.

Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, a journalist
and one of the wittiest men of the Jew
ish race in Germany, once criticised
King Ludwig's verses so sharply that
he was ordered, says Household "Words,
to quit Munich within twenty-four
hours.
The court chamberlain waited upon
?the journalist with the king's com
mand and, having delivered it, consid
erately asked:
? "Do you think that you can get away
in that time?"
? "Yes, I think so," Saphir said, "but if
my own legs can't take me quick
enough 1*11 borrow some of the snper
Huous feet in his majesty's last volume
of verse."
The Japanese Stable.
"We can learn from the Japanese a
thing or two about stabling horses. In
Japan horses are backed into their
stalls; then a door is closed at the head,
which has a grain and hayrack con
veniently constructed, to which the nag
is secured. When needed, the door is
.swung back and the horse led forth.
No one gets kicked, no refuse matter
is visible to the visitor, and it seems to
be a sensible way to construct a place
for any horse.

"Now. here is something you'll like,"
said the manager of "the works as he
was showing some ladies the process
of manufacture: "texts of Scripture on

"Oh," replied Mrs. Fungle, "I've of
ten heard of textile manufactures, but
I never saw them before."

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Comp?imd
Tim GREAT HEDICINE.
? f if . _:_' ' ?
MR. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
I Am Now in the Best of Ifen!:!:/'
The greatest of modem physicians, Troi.
j Edwar?E. Phelps, M. D., LL.'D., after years
i of lengpractice and close scientific study, gave
! to suffering and diseased men and women his
j marvelous, life giving prescription, with the
] conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar
able Paine's Celery Compound. -
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
! of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr. Brown says:?
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years' standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. I had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
j the advertised medicines without deriving any
j good results. I was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
??I was getting worse, and was told I was
incurable. I was indeed in a critical condi
tion. I could net go from the house alone,
as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. I could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; I was extremely
.weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left sid? to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, I am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God I am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound."
