THE SECRET OF THE STRAIT.
An Expedition to Look for a Water way
 for which Columbus Searched

for which Columbus Searched
 Another expedition is going in quest of the secret of the strait" For 400 years the secret has remained unsolved. The last voyage of Columbus was in search of this strait" The discoverer
 believed he would find somewhere
 through Central America a passage by
 which he could sail to the Pacific and
 on to the Indies. In 1902, with his hum-
 ble caravels he tried every entrance
 along the Caribbean side of the isth-
 mus only to turn back disappointed
 Columbus found a tradition, but not
 strait. The Indians told of a time
 handed down through unnumbered
 generations of ancestors when canoes
 were padded from ocean to ocean, but
 none of them could guide to the route
 After Columbus came other naviga-
 tors who sail up and down the ethmus,

 luctantly compelled to admit did not tAlbl--u WdlCI CUIlliCltlVll bNlNtGll lIH
 Atlantic and the Pacific It was a search as bafIling as those for the Col den Fleece, the Holy Grail, and the north pole. Still later came explorers Who accepting the conclusion that no strait was there sought to locate it as it once was. that they might restore the passage which nature had closed. Mod ern science turned it's powerful search- lights on the problem which had defied Columbus. "The sechet of the strait" is still a secret Engineers have lost themselves in the cordileras looking for the place where waters from the two oceans may have mingled before some convulson raised the barrier and | the isthmian connection be- l tween the two continents.

 Nowadays, when geologists and geog- raphers speak of the seceret of the strait' it is well understood among hem they do not think water connec-
 ion still exists between the Atlantic and the Pacific.

 of detail will be found river heading
 well up in the interior, called the Atrato It has it's origin In the Andes, and flows almost due north bearing a little to the east. It discharges into the Caribbean Sea. The lower Atrato worms sluggishly through great delta, the increase of which is still going on. Scientific men can see that not so very long ago these delta lands were covered by an arm of the sea which reached southward into South America. Or it may be said that the isthmus in the centuries passed was much longer to the southward than it is now The Caribbean has been filled in and the Atrato has been heightened by the sedi- ment brought down in the floods. As cending the Atrato, explorers come to successive streams emptying into it from the western side. These streams have their rise in a mountain chain which forms a very narrow barrier be- tween them and the Pacific. Through this barrier tradition has it that a strait from ocean 10 ocean once was. And the Indians living there to-day be- lieve that the strait existed in the days of their forefathers.
 Some idea of the magnitude of the delta which the sediment of the Atrato has built may be. formed from the fact that it is a distance of 140 miles from the mouth of the river to where one of the principal branches flowing from the west joins it. This branch is the Napipi. Three members of the new isthmian canal commission will go to this locality and look for "the secret of the strait" They vii explore the re- zion for the purpose of telling Congress whether a canal route better than Nicaragua or Panama can be located. --Sl.

 officers, any deficiency cannot escape notices.
 | Every mans time is at the disposal of l the service whenever it is wanted, but | in practice much leisure IS allowed for
 rest, recreation and mental improve ment. Physical development is fully looked after by the rules of the service,
 but all encouraged to make the best of themselves, and no efforts on the part of
 any man to better his position is made in vain. Nowhere, perhaps, is vice
 punished or virtue rewarded with great CT promptltude, and since all punish ments and rewards are fully public, the
 lessons they convey are never lost. But apart from the service routine, the civil life of this little world is curious and most interesting study. The industrious man who, having bought sewing machine, earns substantial addition to his pay by making every item of his less energetic messmates' clothes (eX- cept boots) for a consideration, the far seeing man who makes his leisure fit him for the time when he shall have left the navy, the active temperance man who seeks to bring one after the other of his shipmates into line with the evergrowing body of teetotallers that are fast altering completely the moral condition of our sailors, the religious man who gets permission to hold his prayer-meeting in some torpedo-flat or casemate surrounded by weapons-all these go to make up the multifarious life of a big battleship.-Th Spectator

The German
Emperor
Uses
Grape-Nuts.
Kaiser wilhelm Furnished
With American Food.

Upon Instructions Of German phy-
sician, a case of Grape-Nuts Food was
lately sent by express to the German
Emperor, Kaiser wilhelm, at Berlin.
This food has come into recognition by
physicians as perhaps the most perfect
form Of nourishment in use
The field grains. barley and wheat,
are blended in proper proportions,
ground and passed through some ten or
twelve different operations, during
which the starch Of the grains Is turned
into grape sugar.
The food is in shape Of small gram
ules, perhaps twice the size OF q pin
head. These are brittle and covered
with glIstening crystals Of grape sugar
which has been produced by the pro-
cesses and form out on the surface OF
each small granule very much as the
sugar settles and crystalllZes on the end
OF a hickory or maple log, under GER
tain conditions.
This product has a delicate sweet
taste, not the strong sweet OF cane or
beet sugar, but the delicate sweet OF
grape sugar, and 1t Is the most easily
digested food known, particularly APP
plIcable to digestion in the intestinal
tract, where so much trouble Is nova
days shown from the excessive use of
starchy foods.
Most so-called health foods are In
clIned to be fiat and disagreeable to
the taste. to be used under sense of
duty. Grape Nuts, on the contrary.
is not only the highest known form of
health food, but is palatable and de-
licIous It is thoroughly cooked before
leaving the factory and can be served
instanter. either cold with little rich
cream or made into a hot dish by pour
ing some hot milk or cream over u.
Grape Nuts are also used for dainty
desserts, treated with gelatine or fruit
juices.
All flrst-class grocers sell Grape
Nuts. Made at Postum Cereal Co.'s fac
tories In Battle Creek, Mich.

J. p. Knapp, the advance agent OF
the Hi Henry's MINISTRIES, was in n
quandary. Thursday night and FRIDAY

purpose of seeing about booking his
show here for one night stand next
week. He had Friday evening, Dec.
!, as an open night, and he did not
know whether it was best TO come to
Augusta or to 90 to SkoWhegan. Then
he decided that Augusta would be bet
ter and he knew not what to do about
a hall. He went about among the mer-
chants and friends that he had made
on previous trips through Maine and
asked their advice as to whether he
should hire MeOnian or City hall

50 members, and consequently the cX-
