The Isthmus of Panama.

More men have died and are buried
on the 1sehmus of Panama, along the
line of tho proposed canal. than on any
equal ans unit of territory in the world
1t was 1887. the year before the
final coli apse of the canal scheme
came. th&t chance took me to the
Isthmus," as it is more usually de-
scribed How many people are buried
out in .Ionkey Hill? Certainly 5000
or 5000; probably II. 600 or Is, 600, but
it's all a matter of gueSswOrk as to the
exact number. But the ground abou.
Aspinwall only holds small percent-
are of the men who have died on the
i>thmus. The city of Panama. of
course. lays claim to the largest num-
Der of burials, but L can say without
eXaggeration that the entire line of the
railroad and canal from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific is continuous graveyard.
At Matochin alone over $500 Cinnamon
met their death in one day. That was
% or 80 years ago, while the Panama
Railroad was being built, and long be-
fore work on the canal was begun.
Ten thousand Cinnamon had been
brought from China to work Oh the
canal. Over one-half of them we're
camped at what is now Matochin.
Smallpox broke out among them. and
the mortality became so great that the
Cinnamon, always easily excited, be-
came panic stricken, and, preferring
to die by drowning, ran down the steep
sides of the hills near their camp aud
threw themselves into the Chagres
River. As l have said $500 of then
drowned. 1t was because of this fact
mat the name of the camp was changed |

cURIOsITIEs OF NATURE,
A Few of the Many Queer Things to he
Found I'm the World.


French scientists are puzzling over a
spider which was discovered in cavity
in stone. 1t is estimated that the stone
must be at least 4 900 years old; this not
withstanding, however, the spider is
quite lively and very youthful in its an
tics. 1t is blind and has no mouth.
Crows are commonly said to live for
100 years, and turtles are reported to
have even longer life; but if the late
Professor Baird be right, the greatest
amount of longevity is possessed by
fishes. Professor Baird once said that as
fish has no maturity there is nothing
to prevent it living indefinitely and grow
ing continually. He cited, in proof, a
pike in Russia whose age is known to
date back to the fifteenth century. In the
Royal Aquarium at st. Petersburg there
are hundreds of fish that were put in
over $50 years ago.
1t is said by scientists that fishes and
mollusks living at a depth of more than
three miles under water have to bear a
pressure of several tons. the weight being
that of the superincumbent brine, which
exerts its power from all sides. The
reason they are able to bear this tremen-
dous weight is because they have exceed
ingly loose tissues, which allows the
water to flow through every interstice,
thus equalizing the weight. When the
pressure is removed they die almost in
stantly.
There is horse on James McCloud's
fam in South Dakota which has eight
feet; otherwise it is perfectly formed in
every respect. Not until the fetlock Joint
is reached in the descent from the shoul-
de- to the foot is there any difference be-
tween the horse and any other. At the
pastern joint, however, the branch be-
gins, and two perfectly formed hoofs are
found on each of the four legs.
Within the Antarctic circle there has
never been found a Towering plant. In
the Arctic regions there are 1852 different
species of flowers. Fifty of this number
are really polar flowers of varied colors;
the remainder are almost colorless, being
mainly of yellowish hue.-[St. Louis

London Sh op Girls.

Whatever money is paid to working
women or shop girls in these big stores
is so much over and above their board
and lodging. In Whitley's establish
ment the wages run from e20 to e70 a
year for the female clerk. Out of this
they are only obliged to provide their
clothing; everything else is furnished
them. A shop girl in New York would
think she was doing pretty well to receive
from $2 to $12 week over and above
her living expenses, even if she had to
wear black silk dresses every day
when she reached the e70 grade. The
purchasing power Of dollar, so far as
clothing is concerned, is double what it
is in our country. But imagine our in
dependent American girl would prefer to
struggle along with the meager salary
most of them receive with the power to
come and go as they please rather than
to live in the cock loft over the store and
have no care as to what she shall eat and
where she shall sleep. but be obliged to
live up to certain rules and be in the
house every night at II o'clock in the
evening. Thus the hours are shorter
with the English shop girl. and the work,
as rule, ighter.-[London Letter to

SOME VERY s~c1sr BATHS.
A Model OF Them LsrnS set Up at the
Museum OF Hygiene.

II
| Museum OF Hygiene.
DR.. Wales is setting up at the Army
Medical Museum, in Washington, most
interesting model of certain ancient
Roman baths, the remains of which hav
recently been dug up at Bath, Englan.
having been constructed at a period some
little time before the birth Of Christ.
From date so far back that history has
no record of it the baths of Bath have
been used for their medicinal effects.
When the invaders from Rome came they
built great structures on the spot, which
for centuries have been buried beneath
ruins. Lately the spade and the pickax
have been set at work to dig out the re-
mains, and most interesting relics have
been exposed.
The model at the museum shows only
part of the original buildings, which
are represented, so far as they have been
unearthed, in the very middle part OF
the city of Bath, the present street cross
ing at higher level. There is shown in
the oldest built section vast apartment
that was heated by fires below, and in
which the bathers of 20 centuries past
enjoyed the pleasures of unlimited per-
spiration. Attached to this were warm
plunges and big cold plunge go feet in
length.
Subsequently, as the building plans
show, another great structure was added
on, with swimming tub 100 feet in
length, wherein the bathers might dis
port themselves. Along both sides Of
this huge plunge bath were high couches
of stone, upon which the swimmers
might recline and be scraped with knives,
in the old Roman fashion, by slaves.
Thus far the building described is pre-
historic, but the next addition that was
made to it is known to have been erected
in the year 1927. 1t contains further
provisions for bathing, of similar nat
ure, and to the whole has been added
within the last few years huge edifice
that includes pump room, where peo-
pie come to drink. and number of single
bath rooms, in which frequenters may
find private quarters and tubs to them
selves. Very interesting it is to observe
the way in which these several parts OF
this ancient establishment have been
added on, each one being at higher ele-
vation than the next of earlier date, be-
cause of the covering up of the old time
buildings with the dust and ruins of cen. !

L. 8. Treasury Renort.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The United
States treasurers statement. issued to-
day, but bearing date of June 18th,
shows an apparent deficit of 1874, 7OS.
This. however, does not include S23.-
627.412 on deposit within national
banks and $50. 30. $50 of fractional sill
yer. Including these two items the
cash balance is S43.06l, 024.
Officials in the secretary's Office say,
exclusive of national bank deposits and
fractional silver, there is an actual
available balance of $2,SI2.00O in the
treasury to-day, and that the treasur-
er's statement includes receipts to that
date, which will show it.
There will be a constant excess of re-
ceipts over the expenditures during the
remainder Of the month. and it is esti-
mated that the net surplus will be at
least s7,000,0O0 by the first. The treas
ury officials are not disturbed by the
situation, and say the government is
able to meet all obligations.

and to advocate bill presented to our

duty as long as 1 hold the honorable
position you have placed me in to put
| you In possession of all matters con-
corning the good of our beloved order
Or that in any way threatens its life or
usefulness.
Therefore, as this movement to
change our order into partisan politi-
cal party and to commit it to measures
that violate not alone the spirit, but the
letter of our constitution, have come to
my knowledge l deem it nv duty to
bring the same to your notice, so that
you may both elect and instruct your
delegates from the subordinate, county
and congressional unions upon these vi
tai questions. with a full knowledge
that these are the issues to be settled in
our next state meeting, to be held
at Warrensburg (Pertle Springs J

therefore request that these two eues-
tions be brought squarely up in each
subordinate, county and congressional
union, while there is full attendance
Of the brothers, to the end that your
wishes may be fully and intelligently
represented by your delegates, both in
your county and congressional and state
unions.
1t is my opinion, formed from an init
mate acquaintance with our order for
several years, that our usefulness is at
an end whenever we violate that prin-
ciple of our constitution which declares
that our order is and shall be a non-par-
tisan one, and that whenever We so far
forget our alliance golden rule"
which declares that we are for equal
rights to all and special favors to none,
as to advocate that special favors be
granted to the raisers of wheat, corn,
oats, cotton and tobacco, that cannot be
granted to the millions of equally de-
serving hard-laboring poor of our land,
we then declare to the world that our
noble order is not complaining of the
rObbing of our government by class-leg-
islatiOn, but that we are complaining
because we are notoamOng the robbers.
request that this letter be read in
every subordinate, county and congress
iOnal union in the state, and if your
delegates have been selected by the
unions that you instruct
them how to vote in the county union.
