Sage's Prediction.
Russell Sage, who recently kept
his 89th birthday, was reported
In financial circles Tuesday to
have told a friend that he ex
pected to live to be 100 years old
and that he expected to see Mis
souri Pacific stock go to 200.
The report circulated upon the
floor of the stock exchange, caus
ing much amused comment.
It was remembered that when
the same stock, “Mop," was at
Tuesday’s figures a few years
ago Mr. Sag? denounced the up
ward movement as rank manipu
lation and said it would only hurt
che railroad by exciting the an-|
ger of farmer legislators in the i
states through which the road
ran. It was then suspected that
his market operations affected
his viewn The stock wras at 125
when Mr. Sage's reported pre
diction arrived, but it went back
to 124 1-2 later.
Mr. Sage is noted for predict
ions in the stock market that
have come true long afterward.
Not long ago Manhattan reached
a high figure predicted a decade
ago by him.
One broker upon hearing of
Mr. Sage’s prediction about being
a centenarian remarked, “Idon’t
see why Providence should wait
for him to reach par when he can
be got around 89. is economically
managed and can be expected to
earn carrying charges."
MIND POISONED.
The trial judg^ in a recent
divorce case in rendering his de
cision said to the husband:
“You have allowed your mind
to be poisoned by private de
tectives and other disreputable
parties against a pure and, l be
lieve, innocent woman. I want
to take this opportunity to say
that any man who hires an ama
teur sleuth to shadow his wife
and spy on her every movement
is unworthy the name of hus
band.’’ The truth is the ama
teur sleuth is out for the stuff j
and he generally manages to;
formulate a report that will;
make his employer believe he is j
earning more than he gets. Wej
have heard it said that some of
these agencies could not always
be relied on to tell the truth.—

Lake Tahoe.
One of the most beautiful lakes
in the world lies in the heart of
the Sierras on “The Overland
Route,’’ 6,220 feet above the sea
level, and is completely hemmed
in by mountain walls, whose
rugged peaks rise in many places
to an additional height of from
2,000 to 4,000 feet. It is twenty
tnree mues wiae ana irom lw co
2,000 feet deep. The entire re
gion surrounding the lake is pic
turesque almost beyond descrip
tion, and a never-ending delight
to the eye. This region is reached
on’y over the Union Pacific and
its connections, the fast train-’
via this route reach California
many hours ahead of all com
petitors. Inquire of

And the marvel if it ill is 'his— that,
what has been done in but in infinites
imal fraction of that, which may, md
doubtless will, be done Who can doubt,
for instance, that the great Sahara
desert — that mole upon the world’*
face—will one day be but a memory?
It, was an inland sea once. 1* would not
be a very difficult matter to convert if j
into one again. '-a. < Sirtsit
k canal d(T miles long, connecting
with the Vlantio the vast depression
which runs close up to the coast nearly
mhlway between the twentieth and
thirtieth parallels of latitude, would do
the business beautifully The water
would not. of course, cover the enttiw
surface of the desert Here and thera
are portions lying *ix>ve sea level.
These would ijecome the island* of the
new itanunt ocean
What would bo the reunite that would
eusue upon this stupendous transfor
mation? Some would be good and soma
bad Among the latter may he men
tioned the probable destruction of lha
vineyards of southern Europe, which
depend for their existenoe upon the
warm dry winds from the great A frican
desert.
In a similar manner the greater por
tion of the central Australian desert,
covering in area of fully 1,000,0011
square miles, might he Hooded The is
land continent would Mien be reconr
verted into a gigantic atoll, and would
resemble, roughly, an oval dish of
which the depressed central portion
would be covered with water and only
the ‘rim” inhabited. In this connec
tion it may be interesting to note that
a company has actually been formed
for submerging the Yuma desert in
southern California. If the plan, as at
present proposed, is carried out, a tract
of absolutely' uninhabitable territory
comprising nearly 13,1)00 square miles,
and the greater portion >f which lies
between >00 and 1,000 fert below sea
level, will be submerged.
A few Englishmen known as “little
Englanders"- still blame the govern
ment for insisting upon the reeonquest
of the Soudan. “ A useless acquisition,"
say they Pei haps!
But capable judges believe that it
would have been lit t le less than suicidal
to have allowed these regions to fall
into the hands of France, for the sim
ple reason that her engineers, by divert
ing the course of the Nileat Abu Named
or Berber—no very difficult task—
could at any time turn all upper Egypt
into a desert.
It, bus even been suggested thut It
might be possible —by turning its wa
ters into one of the many lateral
ravines whicli run at right angles to
the present course of the river—to Hnd
a new outlet for it into the Red sea. and
thereby to transform, in process of
time, that sheet of water into a great
fresli water lake.
To accomplish I his, It would of course
be necessary to build a giant dam
across its southern “neck," near Perim,
and to regulate, or rut uer hio|»
get her, tye inward flow of the Nledifer- 1
Fit n can through the Sue/ canal—a oig
task, but one not entirely impossible of j
accomplishment, .
The above are examples of big
schemes. There are many others that
might be mentioned, including, of j
.■•ourse, the Panama and Nicaraguan
•anaIs, and the French “war canal” be- 1
i wen the mouths of the Poire and the
Phone, which, when completed, will
enable their ironclads to dodge round
behind Gibraltar when passing from
the Atlantic to the Mediterraeuun or j
idee versa.
But, it is tlie comparatively little en
gineering feats which have slowly but
surely altered in the past and will alter
in the future the face of the earth. Even
so small a matter, for instance, as the
proposed seawall at Southend will cer
tainly deepen the estuary of the
Thames, and may conceivably do away
with the Goodwin sands.
\ scheme was recently mooted to cut
a ship canal through the center of Ire
land, beginning at. Dublin and tfnlsh
:ng at Galway. It would be no very
difficult feat to accomplish, for most
