Burmah, tbs largest province of tha Indian Empire, is a beautiful and very varied country, covered in many places with furotts which in the month of March are bright with the many colors and sweet with the varying scents of thousands of flowering trees and shrubs. This country is traversed by many rivers the largest of which is the Irawadl, with a course of probably eleven hundred miles from Its unknown source among the snowe of Thibet, down to the Bay of Bengal. These rivers during the rainy season (which lasts for a long tlnr) overflow their luniks and spread over the plains, the flood watrr of the Irawadl often flowing over the country for ten or fifteen miles on either side to a depth of from four to fourteen feet. The inundated villages, however, do not suffer, as the natives, knowing what they may expect during the rainy season, are prudent enough to httild their houses on piles, and the flood waters move but slowly. But one ean easily Imagine how unhealthy the flooded country must he. with a great heat and a hunting sun.

But the Burmans are an excitable, Impulsive and courageous people, and they really seem to enjoy this spurt, notwithstanding the risks they run. They are also anxious to secure a hug or a deer; for although their staple food Is rice, which is ns cheap as it Is In India, tile inhabitants of Ilurmah eat fish or meat daily, and in ail respects live better than the lower classes of India. Theiefore, In going out to hunt over the flooded country, these men are in not only of excitement, but of dinner. THE PROPOSED CANAL. Frrnli anil Malt Water.

After a thorough study of the various possible roads, one haa been selected as the most practical, running, as it does, entirely through Russian territory. On the plan selected there are no great difficulties of level to be overcome, although the European watershed summit has to be crossed, but this last takes place at one of its lowest points. The proposed canal's entrance will be on the Gulf of Riga, at the mouth of the river Duna. It will follow the course of this river up to a point above Dunsbourg. Then, leaving this valley, it reaches the Berezina river by a straight cut and passes through This brings it into the Dnieper, and. following this natural declivity, it reaches the Black Sea, opening into a magnificent roadstead below Kerson. The total length of this colossal waterway will be something like 1,600 kilometres (about 1,000 mlleri, and it will be excavated to a depth of SVi metres (about 27 feet). This will allow the largest ironclads to navigate It freely from one end to the other. The estimated cost la put down at 100 Bab-rouis- k. sea water upon Iron and steel is of any kind.

By the selection of a course running at a safe distance from the frontier it places back of the Russian forces stationed in Poland an unassailable base of operation. Fully protected already by a whole network of fortifications and railways, this canal la intended to act as a feeder for all the war material. As to the concentration of the whole Russian fleet in the Black Sea, this means an absolute control of Constantinople and the Straits. But if this enterprise is of utmost importance in a military point of view, it will also prove unquestionably very beneficial to the agricultural and Industrial Interests of the country. It placer vast grain producing regions In cheap communication with Odessa, the chief point of export, while the Immense coal fields of southern Russia will come Into .easier connection with the industrial districts of Poland. There are reaeona, too, to believe that new factories will develop along the canal on account of the cheapness of this new mode of transport. If this scheme haa been adopted, there Is no doubt that me Russian tenacity will bring It to success.
