One of the many Important questions thnt will como before the present congress Is that relating to the long projected canal through Central Amer ica, wedding the Atlantic and Pacific ocouns. The Idea of constructing this canal is much older than the closing century. In 1872 n commission wan ap pointed by President Grant, who, after a long, careful and minute study of the question, reported that tho Nicaragua route possessed greater advantages and fewer difficulties than any other route known to be practicable. From a liter ary standpoint tho interest is in a brief history of tho project, and If carried out the benefits would not only flow to the U. S. but to tho world at large. Commercially speaking the Importance Is Inestimable. It would strike off nearly 11,000 miles of sea voyage from Ran Francisco to New York, bringing tho time down to twenty days. It, and It alone, would be the Industrial salva tion of tho fruit growing states of tho Pacific, which, If a waterway is not constructed, can never hope to com)ete with Argentina. Tho soil and climate of both are about tho same and Argen tina hus already wrest'.d the wheat and hide trade with Europe away from Cal ifornia. Now she Is entering the fruit growing market and hy her superior water-way is sure to make short work of California In that respect, too. From a political standpoint tho value of this canal Is Inestimable Tho late unpleas antness with the kingdom of Alfonso, and the consequent falling of the Phil ippine. Islands in our hands necessitate the Improving of our waterway In tho Pacific and for the maintenance of tho Monroe Doctrine the absolute control of the canal Is a first necessity. Tho completion of the canal would be a god send to the struggling little republics of Central America and would mean a new era In their history. Nicaragua in par ticular is a country peaceful, prosperous and progressiva. With the canal open Central America has marvelous fu ture before her. The whole world in fact would benefit by it to an extent beyond computation. A few days ago one of our staff dis guised as a sixty Incandescent arc light flashed into the private sanctum of Prof. Lenkerd and in an Interview succeeded In getting hold of the final examination in Geometry, which we produce for the benefit of Senior class. 1. If the angle of a fishing pole equals half the angle of the hook, find the angle worm. 2. Find the angle of Incidence of a Senior girl's noso when she is vexed. 3. If the square described on tho hy. potenuse of a right angled triangle equals the sura of the squares described on the other two sides, what amount of space will be required to hold a Senior when she has her commencement clothes on. 4. Pass two Jack planes through a naii keg slatendicular to tho circumfer ence. 5. Find the "ark" that contained Noah and his family. fl. Find tho hypotenuse of a right angled trlanglo formed by the two extremes of the Senior class, M. and R., standing eight feet apart. LOCALS.
