ALONG THE BIG SUEZ CANAL
AN
ARTIFICIAL RIVER IN
MIDST OF A DRY DESERT.
THE
How the Cannl Wam Unlit and tho
j Saml Dredged Out Tho Great
Distances It Hnvcg to Ships.
It is fifty-eight yours since Ferdinand
tie. Lessops first enmo to Egypt, in the
French consular service, find it is more
than a generation ago since he persxiadod
the Viceroy of the country that the work
of building tho Suez Cannl could be
ilone. When ho began it, writes Frank
O. Carpenter, tho English laughed at
him and scientists all over the world pre
dicted his failure. John Hull shook his
tail and said, with a sneer, that Franco
and Egypt were burying their money in
the sands of the desert, and it was not
until the waters of the Mediterranean
were mixed with those of the Ked Sea
that they would admit that the thing
could bo done. Now more than two
thirds of the ships which pass through
the canal belong to Great Britain, and
the English, in order to protect their in
terest in India, have had to put some
thing like $17,000,000 into canal shares.
It is not a bad investment, for in 18S5
tho net profits of this canal were more
than 66,000,000, and after all expenses
were paid the shareholders received n di
vidend of 17 percent.
The canal increases in importance year
after year, and that to such an extent
that it may be necessary to build a second
alongside of the first, and this plan is
now much discussed. How much is
saved by it can only be understood by
considering the steamship routes of the
Jiast. Before it was opened ships in
fjoing to China and India, had to go by
way of the Cape of Good Hope and it
was then more than 12,000 miles from
London to Bombay. The voyage was
one of months instead of weeks, and it
necessitated the coaling of steamers. At
present the distance by the Suez Canal is
only 7000 miles, and the saving in dis
tance from London to Hong Kong is
about 4000 miles, or 1000 miles longer
than the distance between Liverpool and
New York. In 1880 more than 3000
vessels passed through the canal, and
cstimatiug that each of these vessels to
India, Australia or China made a saving
of at least five thousand miles, it will be
seen that tho aggregate saving in one
.year was more than fifteen million miles,
equal to a distance of six hundred times
around the world. Undoubtedly more
than one hundred and fifty thousand
passengers are taken through this canal
every year, and the charges are $2 on
each passenger. It makes heavy charges
upon tho vessels which pass through,
estimating them according to their ton
nage, and the receipts of the canal make
it one of the best paying institutions of
the world.
And still this canal is only one hundred
miles long; it is only one-twelfth of the
length of the Red Sea, into which it con
ducts tho waters of tho Mediterranean,
and these two bodies of water are of
nearly tho same level. They now flow
into one another without locks, and the
canal is well described as a ditch in the
desert. This ditch is about three hun-
tlred feet wide at the top, and ono hun
dred and fifty feet wide at the bottom,
and the water within it is as quiet as a
mill pond. It is of beautiful sea-green,
and the contrast of this color with the
bare yellow sand which lino the banks of
the canal make it wonderfully beautiful.
I fie canal is so narrow tliat ships can pass
only at certain points, and tho manage
ment govern these passages just as tho
train dispatchers regulate the passage of
trains on our trunk lines. There are,
from time to time, through the canal
wider spaces where the ships must turn
in while others, which have the right of
way, may pass them, and at a distance
these ships seem to be walking, as it were,
in single file through the desert. They
are not allowed to go over five miles an
,y hour, and this is largely due to the depth
of tho canal. Its average depth is about
twenty-four feet, and many of the ships
which pass through are more than twen
ty feet deep in the water. There is so
little water under the bottom that there
can be no great speed.
The banks of this canal are of dry and
thirsty sand. In some places they are
kept back by pavements of stone and in
others by a network of twigs like the
jetties of tho Mississippi. It cost nearly
8100,000,000 to build the canal, and in
some places the channel had to be cut
through solid rocks. In others there was
little dredging needed. Tho waters of
the Mediterranean flowed into long,
natural lakes, and these required but
littlo excavation to make them deep
enough for the transit of the ships. One
of the great problems in milking the
canal was fresh wuter for tho work
uieu. The work was begun in 1858
itud the ruler of Egvpt provided 25,000
laborers. These were relieved every three
months; but it was necessary to feed
them. It took 4000 water-casks, which
were carried On the backs of camels, to
supply them with drinking wuter, aud
this was kept up for five years. At the
end of that time a fresh water canal was
arranged so that the water was curried
from tho Kile to Ismailia, aud there is
now a pipe which runs the whole length
of the canal, and which carries fresh
water from one end of it to the other.
Tho work of preparing harbors ut Port
Said and Suez was very expensive, and I
took a look at tho piers ut Port Said,
which are intended to ward off the accu
mulations of sund aud mud, and which
form the navigable entrance to tho
canal. These piers are made of artificial
btone, composed of desert ?nud and ce
ment. The machinery to make them was
brought here from France, and the stones
were made to throw into the sea. Each
stone weighed twenty tons, and it took
25,000 of these massive rocks to form the
bases of these piers. On the top of this
foundation the piers were built, uud this
artificial stone will, I am told, last as
long as the natural article.
Immense dredges ure now employed
throughout the canal. These pump up
tfco sand, which blows in from the des-
C - ert, aud throw it out beyoud tho buuks.
" There are stations or guurd-houses ut in-
tervuls along the course uud a few small
towns huve grown up here und there
Outside of these towns and the guard
"house you see few signs of life. Here
a caravan trots ulong over the desert,
thu long, ungainly camels, with their
riders bobbing up uud down uuiust the
char sky of the horizon. There a flock
of long-ueeked cranes springs from the
water into the uir, and now, uwuy across
the hot sands at tlie side of the ship,
comes into view a new hip and new
wuters which loom up uu4, of the sands
uud which looks us rcul KJ Die green wa

is the wonderful mirutfe of the Libvun
dwert, which 80 o'ten deceive thirsty

Plant Protected by Their Juices.
When a drop of the juice of sorrel,
garlic, saxifrage, or nasturtion is put
upon the tegument of a snail, the animal
manifests pain aud exudes ubundauco of
its mucous secretion ; yet it is not thus
affected by a drop of wuter. When
snails avoid plants marked by such juices,
we have a right to regard the plants as
defended by a chemical armor. 1 he of
fensive substance may also be important
to the nutrition of the plant, but that is
not the question we are dealing with here.
Many plants are evidently lacking in this
means of defense; for, of some plants, nil
the unimals experimented upon have been
found to prefer fresh to dead parts.
Others ure never touched by them,
whether living or dead. Hence we may
conceive that un infinite variety may exist
in the degrees of chemical armoring be
tween total absence of protection and
complete protection.

rnosrnATH for turnips.
In England phosphate is not applied
to grain crops directly as here, but if
used on turnips, and these are fed off by
sheep on tho laud where the roots grow.
Sheep that have had some experienco will
dig out the interior of tho turnip very
quickly, leaving tho pungent peeling on
the outside untouched, save whero the1
holo was made to get at tho centre. In
this double working of tho phosphate in
tho roots and through tho animals'
stomachs, it gains very considerably in
effective valucfor grain, and when eaten
by sheep is distributed quito evenly.
The animals are herded or confined in
small plots on the turnip field until tho
roots are fully eaten. Aetc York Wit

It is generally conceded that for tho
best results in butter making, where tho
milk is set in deep cans, the milk should
be placed in the creamer as nearly as pos
sible at tho temperature at which it is
drawn from the cow, there being a con
siderable loss of fat in skim-milk if tho
milk is allowed to cool to any great ex
tent before being set. Of late thero has
been considerable controversy as to
whether it is advisable under any condi
tions, to warm the milk before setting,
and as to tho limit of temperature beyond
which it is not safe to go. Mr. I. P.
Roberts concludes, as the result of inves
tigations at the College of Agriculture a(
Cornell University, that first thero is a
loss of butter when the milk is heated,
there is no rusk of injuring the quality of
the butter by incorporating in excess of
cascine, even when the milk is heated as
high as 185 degrees. jVcio Yvrk World.
THE DARN.
The man who goes about his barn with
a pipe or cigar is recommended to take
out an insurance policy at once from on
of the old line companies. We recom
mend the old line companies, in such case,
for two reasons: First, such carclessnesi
should be made to pay as high as possi
ble for its fun; and second, such a man
ought not to impose upon his neighbors
who form the basis of tho farmers' mu
tual companies. We saw a man not long
ago smoking while ho was currying hit
horse in the stable. He said he had dont
it for years and had not had a fire yet.
It is possible that a man might smoke in
a powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but ho would be a verj
reckless man who should attempt it. It
needs but a spark among hay or straw to
burn down a barn with the probable los
of all there is in it. Never do anything
which is likely to cause a fire. If a firt
in the barn does occur, thero is one thing
that it is well to remember. Horses art
frightened "out of their wits" by fire.
You cannot lead a horse from a burning
barn in the ordinary way. Tho best way
is to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket ovei

HOW TO TLAKT LIMA BEANS.
It is almost a universal practice in New
Jersey to plant lima beans by thrusting
them into the ground with tho cyo down
ward, farmers claiming that tho bean is
not so likely to rot and the plants appeal
earlier than when the seed is set
otherwise. Tho idea in planting lima
beans in this way probably originated in.
some one observing that when a bean
sprouts both root and stem start from the
eye and the bean is lifted above ground
the two catylcdons becoming tho first
pair of leaves, usually called the seed
leaves. This is true with nil species aud
varieties of the bean, while with peas,
which belong to the same family of plants,
the seeds remain in tho ground or
below the surface when they throw up
a new shoot. We have always practised
planting lima beans the same way that
we do other kinds, that is, drop them
on the ground and cover them with a
hoe, and we have yet to discover that it
made any difference whether seed was
covered when lying on the side or set up
on its edge. Try a row of limas next
year, planting each alternate hill in tho
row different, and see if those with eyes
down succeed any better than thoso with
eyes up; or on the side, laying the bean
flat and coveriug with a hoe A'ao York

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.
Once during lifetime is all any man
need expect to be suited in a family horse.
Be kind but firm with tho horse; petting
is as much out of place as abuse. Feed
j the horse out of a trough placed on the
ground ; this is not only the most natural
position, but it prevents the propereleva
tor muscles of the shoulder becoming rigid
and fixed, which by constant use of high
mangers and tight reining is frequently
the case. How often do we see horses
worked in towns to heavy carts or light
carriages unablo when turucd out to grass
to get their heads to the ground without
setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes
going down on one or both knees, or set
ting one leg forward with the other as far
back as possible. Twelve quarts of good ,
clean old oats, with twenty-one pounds of
i i ij i. !. i.ii
goou, cieuu oiu liuy, wuu u sprinuiiu oi
salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary
sized horse for one day. Beans are the
most muscle producing food given to
horses. HorBes iu the hubit of swallow
ing food without thoroughly masticating
can bo cured by covering tho bottom of
the feed-trough with loose stones about
the size of an egg.
Never offer unsolicited advice for tho
medication of a neighbor's sick uuimul;
if it recovers you huve nothing to gain,
and a good deal to lose if it dies. Be
fore venturing to uso or prescribe a
medicine, become thoroughly acquainted
with its nature und actiou; better leave a
sick auimul alone to nature than impose
blind assistance. Never buy a horse
afflicted with a mucus discharge from
one or both nostrils; by general ob'
servance of this much could be dono to
prevent spread of glanders, equivalent t
thousands of dollars in some districts.
Never trot or run a horse suffering with
tympanitic colic, which presents a swol
len appearance. Walk the animal slowly,
or allow to roll at pleasure, taking car
to provide a suitable place. Cm'rots
about one pound each morning, an houi

TH CROP-ROtTlTD FOWT T
Tho crop-bound fowl is not ono which
lias simply gorged itself with food, but
one which has tho passage obstructed
through which tho food passes from the
crop to the gizzard. A fowl never cats
more than it can digest, provided tho
food cau get into tho digestive organs,
A fowl rarely swallows anything which'
rannnt easily pass into tho gizzard. The'
trouble is solely caused by tho accumula
iion of tho food in quantities in the crop,
to which condition it becomes packed in

! The KoU Nut
The commercial importance of the
kola nut has, for some time, been stead
ily growing. It Is a valuable dietetic and
therapeutic agent, and is allied in com
position to cocoa, coffee and tea, but
contains a relatively large amount of
caffeine. The properties ordinarily as
signed to kola are those of a strong tonic
and stimulant to tho nervous system,
counteracting Bnd removing the sense of
exhaustation after fasting and fatigue; it
has also been credited with having an
antagonistic action to alcohol, and is fre
quently used in tho countries whero it is
grown for that purpose ; it is also said to
purify water. It has a peculiar stimu
lant action on tho nervous system, temp
orarily strengthens the heart beat and in
creases tho arterial tension. In times of
exertion and fasting it wards off tho
sense of mental nnd physical depression
and exhaustion. As a water purifier,
there is reason to believe that its action
is purely mechanical. In a report which
has been recently made on this nut, it is
recommended to bo used as an infusion
in the treatment of diarrhoea, where it
astringent action is beneficial.

It doesn't make us tired to tell about the merits of SAPOLIO. Thousands of
women in the United States thank us every hour of their lives for having told thejn of
SAPOLIO. Its use saves many weary hours of toil in house-cleaning.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
Grocers often substitute cheaper goods for SAPOLIO to make a better profit.
Send back such articles, and insist upon having just what you ordered.
