It is often taken lor granted that because M. de Lesseps severed the Isthmus of Suez he must also succeed in severing that of Pa- nama. But the ditch which he dug in the sand from Port Said to Suez cannot be for a moment compared to the channel which he has undertaken to hew throucrh the rocks and swamps of Panama. The new canal will only be half as long as the old one, but, as it passes through a mountain range neces- sitating a clean cut 350 feet deep through solid rock, the difficulty of its construction cannot be estimated by its tengtb. in Africa the River iMile was of invaluable ler- vice to M. de Lesseps. In America after the earthquakes, his greatest enemy is the liiver Charges, whose turbulent torrent, unless curbed by a dam the like of which has never been constructed by enpineer, is ;ortain to destroy the canal the first rainy hoason.

Reynolds, a stock raiser at Griffin, Texas, was wounded in a skirmish with Indians, an arrow enter- ing the "ibdomen and passing through the abdominal cavity. Such a wound is almost invariably fatal but he pulled the shaft of the arrow out, and although the head broke off and remained in the body, he astonished everybody by recovering within ten days. A few days ago he felt pain in the back, near the spine, and a surgical operation brought to the surface the steel arrow head that had taken sixteen years to work its way through his body.
