| DODGING THE DARDANEL
| From the Black Sea to the Baltic. Napoleon 1. was wont to describe the Dardanelles as the key to the Tsar's home. It was an excellent maxim-on paper, and beyond a doubt it ministered to the hopes of the apostles of expansion who in the reigu of the Taar Alexander I embarked Russia, upon a similar policy of aggression to that which has brought about her embarrass- ments in the Far East. But the Dardanelles by themselves, merely as giving access to the Black Sea, or as affording Russia an outlet to the great world beyond, would have been of but little advantage to a Power whose seat of government and whose chief maritime strength were situated thou- ands of miles away, at the other side of the Empire.
1376
Inspired largely by Napoleon's encourage- | ment (which was prompted by his desire to put another spoke in the wheel of Great Britain) the Russians of his day devoted a good deal of misapplied energy to the acquisition of the famous Straits; it has remained to the present emergency to enforce
upon the Tsar's advisers -as usual too late-the preliminary im
portance of connecting the Black Sea and the Baltic by canal. The project is not quite now, it is true, but it has now been

Ship-canals are not built in a day. Nor aro they a very cheap form of amusement, as may be surmised from the fact that the estimated cost of construction in this particular instance is about £24,000,000. No great stretch of the imagination is necessary to convince ourselves that Russia is just at present carrying too much hay on her fork, and is too much in need of money for other purposes, to admit of this vast sum being devoted to the linking of the two important waterways. On the other hand, it is precisely now, and for that reason, that there is something more than a prospect of the work being under- taken and completed as an immenso com
mercial speculation, the privilege of constructing which might, owing to Russia's- extremity, be obtained upon attractive terms.
During the long peace which followed the Congress of Vienna many schemes were evolved for connecting the Black Sea with the Baltic. Of most of these the essential principle was the deepening of the Dwins, which runs into the latter at Riga, and of the Dnieper, which river practically may be said to enter the Euxine
at Kherson. The total distance to be cover- ed is 1,410 miles, but the actual length be- tween the inner ends of these two well-
known rivers is only seventy-eight miles, and indeed there are alternative points-pre- senting, moreover, less difficult problems of marine engineering-but forty-seven miles apart. It will thus be seen that by the former ready-made route the linking canal would be of about similar length to that at Suez, and by the latter to over half that distance.

As regards the Cataracts of the Dnieper, it is well to admit they are formidable ; but the admission must be qualified by the opinion of Sir Charles Hartley, who, after careful examination, pronounced them to be not insuperable. In point of fact, there is already a system of primitive canalisation thero dating from 1853. The foundation work, tho side-channels, the cuttings and tunnels are, therefore, a going concern ---- not. perhaps, of great utility, or of much assistance to ocean-sailing ships, but sup- plying a basis for further engineering skill, and indicating that half a century ago the task was not considered hopeless.

This brings us 841 miles from the Black Sea, and here there is, as bas boen said, a choice of routes each with advantages of its own. The Beresina, associated so strongly with the fame of Marshal Ney, is shallow, but safe. Dredging would scarcely be of much use to dam, and to excavate a new bed exhibits fewer obstacles, and is cheaper. The alternative route makes use of the River Lutschoza, which is & confu ent of the Dwina, and joins it at Witebsk, sixty-one miles from, Uila, the latter town being 311 Tuiles from Rigs. A short canal of twelve milde in longth (absolutely the only new pleon of waterway that would have to be made in the whole. distance from the Black Ben to the Baltic) is need ed to link the Lutscheza with the Orschiza, and two or three locks might be required in the seventy eight miles of this ponnec- tion, ne contrasted, with the forty-seven miles of the Dnieper Catarnete,The depth of water in the Dwina (mas Witebsk to Riga averages 18ft. at present, and the channel is not dangerous to those who- know it.

WHAT TO EAT IN HOT

The food question in warm countries is very important, especially for Americans and Europeans,, among whom the mortality M. Reynaud, is generally excessive. professor of hygiene in the French Colonial Institute, has carefully studied the foods voluntarily selected by European colonists and natives respectively with a view to throwing some light on this question. The Renue Scientifique thus dutails his resulta and conclusions:

ed in the largest quantities are fats. In fact
... one gram of fat produces by com- bustion a little over nine calories [beat- units], whereas albumin or carbohydrate produces only four calories to the gram. Thus, having to struggle against intense cold, men tend to absorb the fonds that will produce the most heat. In hot coun tries, on the other hand, the equilibrium of temperature often needs to be establish- ed in the opposite direction; the organism strives against its environment to prevent excess of heat-both passively, by avoiding all internal causes of heat, such as work or difficulty of digestion, and also by series, perspiring.
Thus the desiderata may
be easily deduced. We must evidently have energy, for no matter in which direc- tion the struggle for equilibrium takes place, there are both action and waste in the organism; but incontestably less heat ing power is needed than when we have Fat must, therefore, cold to overcome. play a small part in the fond, because it yields too many heat-units in combustion, because it is hard to dgest, and thus tends to raise temperature, and, finally, because its energy is less rapidly usable than that of the carbohydrates.
Albumin is necessary, as is well known
and for preserving the integrity of the tissues a minimum quantity of albumin is indispensable. This appears to be much smaller with the natives of hot countries than with Europeans.
In any case, it is incontestable that albuminoids in too great quantities would he dangerous from their toxic products of decomposition, which in a sedentary life nay puse into the organism and fatigue the livor, which is so often attacked in hot countries.
■
'Carbohydrates are thus the best foods, but they are inconvenient because of the great volume of the alimentary mass and the abundance of the waste products. This inconvenience may be lessened by the use of sugar, which is a carbohydrate that is practically pure, because it is crystal- lized. M. Roynaud believes that it also
has some objectionable features, but this 18 far from being demonstrated.
The working ration can not be treated apart from the more living ration, as it can in other regions. In hot countries, in fact, there is no reserve, and work brings about at once, with perspiration, enormous losses
of heat.
The natives who got along very well with rations that are poor in albumin when they are idle, fall at once into a state of lassitude when they work, and easily contract divers diseases. Thore is a very great dispropor- tion in hot countries between the working ration and the living ration. Without in- creasing the fat, which is utilized with diffi

It is useful, in order to preserve di- gestibility-a very important factor that is too often neglected in theoretical calcula- tions to give a varied alimentation, with fresh vegetables and fruits, as much milk as possible, and fow alcoholic drinks. Much liquid must be taken to keep up the osmotic equilibrium lost by the intense evaporation.
