of those lunatics came in at different
times with copies of messages, inquir-

one of them made me a present of

The last speaker was one who had

in no condition to fight Indians any,

THE DEADLY CLIMATE OI
- PANAMA. sss-
Over -Four Hundred Canal workmen In the
Hospital. st-s

Hospital.
just before Mr.. Dingler left Panama
for France say 16. 600 men were atwork.
The wet season is now in, and to-day
not more than 1000 of all ranks are
employed. Quite recently, owing to
the very sickly season, 40 of the 1000
were in the hospital. apart from nearly
100 under treatment at home. This
tells its own story about this deadly
climate. The laborers now are nearly
all Jamaicans. At Gorgoma, a canal
camp, between Saturday last and Mon
day noon three canal chiefs had died.
We hear Of the deaths of ohiefs--as for
the men, they die on the line and are
buried, and no attention is paid to the
matter. Two American carpenters are
in an unnamed grave near Emperador.
The death rate few months ago, from
. careful estimate, was 100 and deci-
NAL, nearly ITO, per 1000 for all ranks.
Yellow fever kills the whites, malaria the
natives and negroes. Many an able
bodied. well-built negro is cut Off in from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours after his
seizure. Many are placed in the ambu-
lance cars of the canal company and
die en- route. None but those living
here and familiar with such painful
sights can form any idea of this coun-
try.
To return to the appearance Of the
canal works. Lack of spirit and lack of
energy were everywhere observable.
Heavy rains interfered greatly with
work. Earthworks ara swept away by ,
the tropical downpour. & A. few. hours
rain caused q small stream to rise In
sucha manper that railroad bridge
was swept away, stopping canal work ]
there. One may safely say that during
the long rainy season, from May to the
middle of December, fully half the
time originally calculated on by De
Lesseps is lost, owing to the rains,
small floods, and the stubborn fact that.
while the company claimed to have
16, 900 in its employ at the close of the
dry season, only 1000 are working.
Some contractors are losing money,
and great deal Of it. One firm ol
Americans threw up its dredging con
tract rather than lose men and money:

Question of Ancestry rs Discussed by Z
German Philosopher.
'Who were our ancestors?" is the
question raised by German author,
Karl Penka, in recent and interesting
work on the Aryan race. Herr Penka
undertakes to overthrow the hereto.
fore commonly accepted ideas as to the
primitive seat of the Aryans and as to
who the Aryans were. He asserts SUBJ
stantially that the Aryan race is in
digenous in Europe, that it was settled,
before dispersion, in the northern part
of Scandinavia, and that the race in its
pure form is dolichocephalic, and has
light complexion, fair hair and blue
eyes,, He sustains his theories with
much ingenious reasoning, which
might be answered. perhaps, with rea-
soning equally ingenious, Some of his
points are worthy of passing notice.
As to the Scandinavian origin OF. the
Aryan race, he shows that the dolicho-
eephalic type of skull is almost universal
in Swedish Graves of the Iron Age, the
Bronze Age and the Stone Age. that
the primitive Aryans, as shown BY. the
evidence of language, knew only such
animals (the bear, the wolf and such
plants (the birch, the beech and the
oak, as are found in the temperate
zone. He contends, farther, that in
absence of evidence to the contrary,
race belongs originally to the area
where it is most numerous and most

Both had revolvers. He jumped up and
let them In. and they quickly bound and
gagged him. Believing that he was
safe, they disappeared, and he saw no
