THE PANAMA CANAL
Gradually Failing Into Decay by the
Washings of the Tropical Floods.

Gradually Falling Into Decay by the
Washings of the Tropical Floods.
q 1t is very sad use the word advised
1y-to see the present desolate condition
of the works, says E. Fl. Seymour in the
Nineteenth Century, and, as have be-
fore said, the large quantity OF
'splant'' deteriorating; also the num-
berless houses for laborers may, vii

life, and now empty and silent. If the
work had been completed and tri-
umphant these would only speak of
manly toll we'll directed by great fore
thought, care, skill and intelligence; OF
high courage that had warred against
deadly climate and long and frequent
pestilences, and of a perseverance and
energy that had resisted the enervating
and demoralizing effects of life in a
tropical and often marshy jungle, till
all these had deservedly led to success.
But alas! the true picture is far differ
ept. About eighteen and a half miles OF
the canal are actually cut to their full
width at the ocean level water line, and
for about half that distance the officials
assured me they had been dug down
to the full depth Of twenty-nine feet,
though, since the works ceased at
the end Of 1889, no doubt much
earth has been washed in again. OF
these eighteen and half miles thirteen
and a half are at the Atlantic and five
at the Pacific end. Inavigated all these
waters in steam or pulling boats, when
to the eye the canal in many ports ap-
peared as if finished. Of the mighty
Culebra cutting the least reduction in
height is about sixty feet, but in some
places it has been cut down for over one
hundred feet in depth. The course Of
the canal is marked out throughout it's
length, and. generally, should say,
not less than ten to thirty feet Of cut
ting made, but the tropical vegetation is
quickly springing up, and railroad roll

nearly hidden by jungle. The nearest

result arrived. at in 1889 might equal
one-third of the whole at the most far

UNCLE BILLY RHODES.
He Had Been Married Many Times, Al

He Had Been Married Many Times, Al
though Very Homely.
Old Uncle Billy Rhodes, Of this sea-
shore borough, the quaintest borough
in eastern Connecticut, died recently at
his trim little home on Peppermint hill,
in the suburbs, aged about sixty-flve
years, says Stonington correspondent
of the New York Sun. Everybody in
Stonington was acquainted with Billy
Rhodes and sorry to learn of his death.
Most of the newspapers in the middle
and eastern states knew him, too; for,
without any desire to be famous or no.
torious, he told his love in them about
two-score times. Uncle Billy had been
married good many times and his last
wife died several years ago. 1t seems
he was lonely in his house on Pepper
mint hill, so every month or two he ad-
vertised in the New London Day, New
London Telegraph and other papers for
new wife. "A small army of women
answered his appeals, and finally one
after another Of the fair writer's came
over to Stonington to size him up for a
husband. It was one of the old mans
curious crotchets that the aspirant for
his hand must come to him. When they
were in the presence of Uncle Billy sub
sequent proceedings interested them no
more. They went right away, some of
them not even taking the pains to say
farewell to him, and all declared that
Mr.. Rhodes was $50 mortal homely that
no woman in her right mind could ever
think of marrying him" Hence Uncle
Billy died widower. His remains were
buried in the Rhodes family burial plot
at the peak of knoll on Peppermint
hill More than one hundred Stoning-
ton people of quality attended his
funeral. He was prominently homely.
but the kindest man in Stonington, and
all the children loved him. A local
newspaper man writing his obituary
calls him ''Sir William Rhodes, grand
son of Harry, and Nabby, his wife"
and adds: ''Let every one retain kind
memories of Bill Rhodes. His aged
uncle, Chauncey Livingston, is now
left without relative in this cold
world"

A Great Chinese Paper.

The oldest newspaper in the world,
of course, is in China. It is the King
Pan, is the official journal of the en-
pire, and was founded in GIL. Origi-
nany it was published Internationally
but after 1861 it appeared regularly
every week. In 1904 it was converted
into a daily, and now issues three edi-
tons a day and sells at about a cent a
copy. The morning sheet, printed on
yellow paper, is devoted to commercial
news. 1t has circulation Of about
eight thousand copies. The midday
issue contains official documents and
general news. The evening edition.
printed on red paper, gives the latest
intelligence and extracts from the two
previous editions. The paper is con.

Little In The Market and the Supply Grow
ing Smal1er-An Old Salts View.
There is remarkable scarcity 0:
whaleboue in the market at present
and in consequence the poorest quail
ties are being disposed Of at prices here
tofore hardly ever realized for the best
that the hardy New Bedford men cou]G
procure. Parts of bones usually dis
carded a few years ago are now q staple
article and find ready purchasers among
manufacturers.
What little bone Of first quality is
placed upon the market is sold at
prices which will astonish persons not
familiar with the trade. A wel-known
thousand pounds several days ago, says
the New York Herald, at $500 a pound
and a similar figure has been realized
by dealers in Europe.
''Whalebone is getting scarcer every
season. said an old South street whale
ship boat steerer, AN pretty soon there
won't be any at all. The blacllfsh.
humpbacks and sperm whales, from
which most of the bone is taken, don't
breed very fast. They are killed of
faster than they breed, and in conse'
quence it is only a question OF time
when they will be exterminated alto
gether, and the humpback will be as
much curiosity as the departed NAM
moth
There's no more money in whaling
for sailors" he continued, NOR for any
body but the big concerns what controls
a number of these newfangled steam
whalers. If yon don't believe what
say go to New Bedford. There you will
see lots of vessels, brave ships once, but
old hulks now, with their bones bleach
ing on the sands around the bay. They
were driven out of the business and the
sailors were driven out with them.
t'The whales got scarce, and three or
four per cent. On invested capital didn't
pay expenses to the owners of single
ships, so they had to give up. Only a
few of the old timers are left, and I
guess they won't last much longer"

Minutes and Seconds.

Did you ever catch yourself wonder
ing why sixty seconds make a minute
and sixty minutes an hour? In Baby
lon there existed, besides the decimal
system of notation, another system, the
sexagesimal, which counted by sixties.
Why sixty should have been chosen is
clear. There is no number which has
as many divisors as it has. The Baby.
lonians divided the suns daily passage
into twenty-four parsangs, or no stadia,
each parsang Or hour being divided into
60 minutes. The whole course of the
sun during the equinoctial hours was
fixed at twenty-four parsangs, 40
stadia, or about $50 degrees. This sys-
tenn was handed down to the Greeks,
and Hipparchus, the Greek philosopher,
who lived about $50 B. c., introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe

Save Us from Our Neighbors.

There was a rap at the back door of a
New Auburn home where the writer was
Wednesday in search of information re-
garding matter OF public interest, and a
very small girl entered with tin pail.
Marin says" said she, that she guessed
your wash'll look like time when it's took
in. It's gettin all dirt and mud"
The woman made no reply, but turned
her attention to the writer
And my ma says" continued the little
girl with the pail, that she'd think you'd
want 20 see to your close reel; it's all one
sided and your close hangs in the dirt"
YES, child" said the lady of the house
"And marin says that she wish't me to
say to you that there's a blind up in your
second story that's fiappn and that your
cats over to our house an amt been fed
for a week, and that your boy Joe amt
been to school for more'n ten days, and
that if that -four you lent her is the best
you've got she don t see how you make any
bread that's fit to eat, and that she wish /
you'd let me have bail O butter if it's
good. Marin wanted me to say, too, that
she thinks the shingles must be leakin wa

CHARLES W. RIGGIN.

I recall the fact that when I was a
French sailor lad at the time, just before
the outbreak Of the civil war, that Amer
lean Jack Tars were considered the pluck
lest and most cool headed men that
walked the decks of any ships afioat
They stood high in the esteem of both
the French and English, and it was a
common saying that if the yankee"
could not go through gale no one else
could. In some respects conditions have
changed, for the United States merchant
marine is not as large now as it was
then. But though the deep sea ships
have gone, the sailors have not. They
will remain as long as the breakers CT
the Pacific and the Atlantic tumble
laundering on the mighty shores of the
Union. AT present the navy and mer-
chant marines do not offer wide op-
portunity to American mariners. They
much prefer to brave the sea on their
own account. either in fishing smacks,
in whalers or sealers. But when the
country needs them it will find that they
are all there, ready to respond to tbs
call. Few nations have such fine ma
terial to draw sailors from as the United
States. The type of American fisherman
who was able to earn his commission
in the naval wars of the Union has not
yet died out.
The terrible disaster that overlook
American and German war vessels be-
fore Samoa three years ago is still fresh
in the memory of all. On that occasion
the seamanship of Yankee sailors re-
ceived a test which proved them equal
to any emergency. 1t can only be sur
missed how many more lives would have
been lost in that catastrophe but for the
courage and pluck displayed in battling
against the furious waters and hurTi-
cane the like of which is almost unknown
in marine history. How the Nipsic was
run ashore by Captain Mullen and thus
saved will never be forgotten, nor can
time ever efface the memory of thu
deeds of Lieutenant r. NJ. G.. Brown, of
the Trenton, on that occasion.

Stephen Decatur and his crew? It was
on the Sd of August, 1904, that that gal
liant sailor boarded and captured two
Tripolitau Cunboats in succession. The
enemy had nearly double the men and
double the ordnance on board of his
ships, but he could not resist the on
slaught of those who fought under the
stars and stripes. There are now two
guns at the Washington navy yard which
were taken in that encounter.
