AN INTER-OCEANIC CANAL.

A Route by Which One Could Be Successfully Constructed. “The alleged new route across th Isthmus of Panama, separating th .- Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is an o.d one,” said an engineer lately. “It wn first discovered by De Lachanne it. 1860, was published in different mag:, zines and papers in 1869, in arti. les which fully set forth the difficulties in the wav of constructing canal. eithe across from Panama to Aspinwail. oily the route of the Nicaragua Cana . The route was examined by Commando Selfridge in 1871, who made th ■ most favorable reports upon it. Th route is known as the Paya Route, an 1 passe < through the ptovince of ‘Bil boa.' in which were situated the richest gold mines of the Indians worked by the Spaniards in 1874. The length if the canal would lie only fifty mile . fourteen miles of which on the Pacific side are through alluvial soil at the L-vel of the sea, and upon the Atlant a side six miles, the other thirty mile oi ering no difficulties. The supply of water is more than is necessary, as the canal would receive at the same level —about 110 fe st above the level of the sea the waters of tho river Tayra on the Pacific side, and of the river Caquirri ou the Atlantic side. Besides, there is plenty of the best building s’one. immense quantities < f all kind of timber, suitable not only for tho c nstruction of the canal, but also for the repair and building of vessels. T..e climate is healthy and insect annoyance much less than along the other routes. The discovery of the new and better route is genuine, but it was discovered, as stated, a quarter of a century ago by De Lachanne, and the plan is not. therefore, new. It has been brought into prominence again and this time I believe that it will be put through successfully.

GOSSIP OF SERVANTS.

A Malicious Practice that Is Liable to Lead to Much Trouble. Often the most vicious and malicious gossip is disseminated through the medium of vindictive and irresponsible servants, who curry favor with their new mistre s by telling tales of those for whom they formerly worked, says the New Ycrk Advertiser. It is useless to remonstrate that real ladies will not listen to the gossip of servants, so” even real ladies are only human, and, alas it is very human to be interested in the misbehavior of others. The writer was told the other day of a maid who has wrought incalculable h irm in numbers of families, and whose calumnies are so serious that they really ought to bs punished. She has spread her evil slime of calumny everywhere where it will stick. Hairdressers are notorious scandal-mongers, and so are many nurse girls, and many a • tale that has wrought ruin and sorrow has had its evil beginnings in the kitchen or from the mouth of the peripatetic hairdresser, who “amuses” her ladies w.:i e smoothing their plaits. In the t outh our “hired help” is particularly irresponsible. Most of the cooks aie r icked up in the streets, as it were, a d their temporary mistress knows neither the name of their last employer mr even their own homes. What such a creature may have to say of their ta-t “madame" has about as much moral value with a fair-minded woman as an anonymous letter—that scurrib u . stealthy stiletto that is the weapon f the traitor, whose deceit is thus un rch.d by the equal stain of cowardice.

STAMP COLLECTIONS.

The greatest collection in the world is owned by the multi-mil liona re, Ferrary, and is worth s&oo,<l€o amount at auction to-morrow.

DR. HARLAN H. BALLARD, PRESIDENT OF THE AGASSIZ.AbSOCIATION, IN POPULAR SCIENCE NEWS, ON THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. In connection wit' - the foregoing report of our Ornithological Chapter, it is only right to sail the attention of all lovers oi birds to the magnificent work now being issued by the Natural Science Association of America, and entitle.. “The Bibds or Nobth Ambbioa,” Edition limited io 1,000. I t is emphatically an original work, original m design and execution, and whether in letter press, illust ations or price, it is unapproached by anything of the kind in existence. It is recommended by the highest scientific, ecclesiastic and educational authority as being t re most attract) re, meritorious, pure and ennobling exposition of our ornithology yet given to the public. Dr. Elliott Cones, author of Birds of the North West,” says; “It is a really notable work.” Prof. O. J. Maynard, author of the “Birds of Eastern North America,” says: “It contains the best pictures of the species which I have ever seen.— Thomas G. Gentry, author of “Life Histories of Birds," and “Nests and Eggs of Birds of the United States,” says: “It in the cheapest and best publication on ornithology in this country. are of a very high order, and rivals in beauty of design and finish the more costly works published abroad or in this country. It should be found in our homes and in libraries generally." And, according to Dr. Theodore Gill, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, it is not only a meritorious volume, but is altogether so handsome as to make it a very appropriate presentation book or ornament for the family table.* It is an imperial quarto volume of engraved figures of all our species, ertisti cally reproduced, true in all hues of coloi to their natural plumage and botanical surroundings. It also includes a copious text description of their habits and characteristics, and embracing in general the observations made by the most eminent writers on ornithology, and a systematic table, arranged according to the classification adopted by tho American Omithol- < gists’ Union, includes all the additions and corrections of our North American species which have been made to date, with an index to page, plate and figure of each species according to the A. O. U. number. It is illustrated with one hundred and nineteen full page colored plates, each representing from one to thirty or more species. It is the finest book on American birds issued since Audubon, and is pronounced by some authorities superior to that now rsre and costly work. It is issued in half and full bindings, Russia, seal, or morocco, at the not price of S4O and $45 respectively; but in response to a special letter, the association authorized me to say that a special discount will be made to such of our A. A. members and others as are working naturalists:— We commend this work especially to members of the Wilson Ornithological Chapter. Ii is also a very useful and appropriate addition to the home and reference libra, rv, and for presentation purposes generally, Address regarding it, the Natural Sojebce Association, 114 Fifth Avenue Naw Ifork, ».
