THE PANAMA CANAL. An engineering Scheme Which May Soon Be Utilised. One of the latest engineering schemes Wonderful Cures of a Shepherd, From the London Dally News. Wonderful cures are attributed by Ignorant Gei man peasants to a shepherd named Ast of Radeburg, who professes to diagnose diseases by Inspecting the hair of the neck of his patients. Although this quack dtaa repeatedly been fined for this Illegal exercise of medicine be seems well enough off to pay hla fines and to continue to defy the4 law. An amusing Instance of credulity came hearing of the case the taJIght at hethewas last time prosecuted. A man from Bremervoerde went to consult him with regard to some real or imaginary aliment. Ast Inspected his back hair, and then calmly prescribed an hour exercise. It and a halfs seems that Mrs. Ast wanted some wood chopped, and Mr. Ast hit upon this very practical expedient for gratifying her. The patient, strange to say, submitted to perform the task in the full confidence that It would cure him. concerning the Panama canal proposes the construction of four locks two at each end of a central level only seventy five feet above the ocean Instead of the old plan of several levels and from eight to ten locks between 122 and 175 feet above the sea. As this would involve an increased amount of rock and soil cutting, it Is proposed by M.

In explanation of this It Is stated that, to Insure the complete bleaching process, the process arose of Increasing the causticity of the lye and prolonging the time of boiling, to the Injury of the fabric though Improving the color; and though the proor brownish duction of yellowish patches on ths linen is usually attributed to impurities In the chemical. It Is chiefly due to the presence in the water of calcium and magnesium salts, which are precipitated on the fabrics and act aa mordants, fixing the yeljow-ls- h coloring matter of the lye an effect preventable by adding to the water a mixture of sodium carbonate and soluble glass Calcium and magnesium sllleatea are Urns precipitated In a floe culent form which settles rapidly, does not adhere to the fabric, and becomes granular and pulverulent on boiling; and, thus purified, only a very . small quantity of caustic alkali Is necessary, the greater part of the saponification being effected by means of the less Injurious alkali carbonate. A convenient form In which to have the soluble glass for this purpose is said to be obtainable by adding from ten to twenty per cent of anhydrous sodium carbonate to a saturated solution of the soluble glass. : MLLE.
