some question as to whether the Colom- bian government would remain such de facto. The unsettled conditions have rendered it impossible to hold popular elections or to accomplish any thing in the way of treaty making. While there is no concern as to the ultimate ability of the United States to acquire the necessary land for build- ing the canal, even by forcible inter- vention if necessary, the prospect of delay is becoming serious.
 It is reported that Senator Morgan and his friends are disposed to take advantage of the situation to urge the adoption of the alternative route at Nicaragua. This might require addi- tional legislation, as it is understood that the report of Attorney General Knox will show a good title for the Panama property. But, however, that may be, Friends of Nicaragua are at work and are hopeful that the authori- ties may still find it advantageous to adopt the Nicaraguan route. The pros- pect of delay in securing the Colom- bian agreement will be one of the chief arguments to be used this winter.

WILL QUESTION GERMANY
Prince Ching Anxious About Evacua-
 tion of Shanghai

Peking-Prince Ching, president of the foreign office, intends to ask Ger many to interpret the "invidious stip- ulation" regarding the evacuation of Shanghai by the foreign troops, em- bracing all China, thus removing the implication that all the Yang Tse Kiang valley is threatened by British schemes of aggrandizement. As the Germans are pleased with the agree ment as it now stands, it is doubtful if Germany will consent.
 Paris-Foreign Minister Delcasse has notified China that France is pre- pared to withdraw her troops from Shanghai simultaneously with the withdrawal of the forces of the other powers, reserving the right to send a contingent back in the event of another power disembarking troops.

SECRET ALLIANCE
Colombian Government Forms Com
 pact With Chile

The news which has been published at Panama of a secret alliance between Colombia and Chile has produced much satisfaction in conservative circles on the Isthmus, where it is firmly belev- ed that the Chilean cruiser President Pinto, now in Panama harbor, will soon change it's present flag for that of the Colombian republic. This news disconcerts the liberal or revolutionary element, because if the Colombian government acquires the Chilean cruiser, Colombia will then be able to vanquish the revolutionary gunboats.

Household Hints

Tincture of camphor and tincture of myrrh are both excellent to add in the proportion of ten or twelve drops to glass of water for rinsing the mouth in the morning.
 Should anything get into the eye, one drop of castor oil should be dropped in the corner of it: but if it be mortar or lime, bathe with weak solution of water and vinegar.
 The best of all remedies for ivy pois- on is simply hot water. Apply it as hot as can be borne, every hour or two, as often as the itching returns. Poison sumac yields to the same treat ment.
 Bathe bruise with vinegar as soon as the accident happens; if it can be kept in place, lay cloth soaked in vinegar over the injury, wetting it as it dries, and there will be very little discoloration.
 Borax- water will not only remove soils and stains from the hands, but will heal all scratches and small hurts.
 By always adding little borax to the water in which you wish to wash (enough to make it very soft) your hands will be kept smooth, soft and white.

New Peach Disease

"The Littles" is the strange name of new disease which is destroying hundreds of acres of peaches in Michi- gan, and heroic measures are being taken by the federal government to eradicate the blight. It is predicted that many fruit growers will be prac. tically ruined, as to eradicate the dis ease means the destruction of the en- tire orchard. "The Little " is called so because the leaves and fruit of the tree attacked shrivel up. The peaches

FLED FROM FIRES
Lake Filled With Bodies of Many Wild
 Animals

Woodland Lake, near Tacoma, Wash. is filled with the dead bodies of wolves, bears, foxes. deer and numer- ous small animals, according to Duval, timber cruiser, who has returned from trip through that part of .Clark county, recently devastated by forest fires.
 The lake is in the mountains of Clark county. As the devouring flames denuded the mountain side and gradu- ally closed in around the lake, hun dreds of wild animals sought shelter and safety along its banks. AS the fire grew near, they apparently entered the water to be either adrownedIor smoth- cred. Long before reaching the lake, Duval was greeted by nauseating odors. He says he found the surface of the lake one mass of deer, foxes, bears, wolves, and all varieties of small ami imals, that roam Washington forests. During the supreme moments preceding their destruction, bears, cougars and wolves apparently lost their ferocity, for they were found in the lake side by side, with gentle deer and cunning foxes.

ANsw and Novel Camera.

to a new and novel camera he has recently received for taking land- scape views, street scenes, etc, which meets q need long felt in the requirements of out of door photo graphy.
 In taking views of towns, street scenes and landscapes it has been impossible to get within the range of the camera all within reach of the eye, and frequently it is neces- sary to make several exposures and join together the resultant photo graphs. With the new camera this is all done away, and with single exposure there is taken the entire sweep of the landscape which may rest under the eye of the operator, if not even more.
 The new instrument Is made to resemble a kodak, but Is somewhat larger, and the exposures are taken upon rolls of films, as in ordinary kodak work. Upon one side of the box the lens is set, lying close along side, but facing at an angle of about 30 degrees from a straight exposure. When everything Is in readiness the operator presses the button which releases the shutter, and at the same time sets in opera tion inside delicate machine which turns the lens clear around in the arc of circle, until it stops facing nearly opposite from where it started, and unwinding simul- taneously and passing behind the lens long film upon which is caught negative of the entire scene which has passed before the lens.
 With the workings of the instru- ment MT. Newman also exhibited several negatives taken short time ago, when the fire department was out for practice. Two of them were views of Morley avenue. In one the camera was set up in front of the park, with the instrument facing toward the Brickwood House. The lens was directed toward the Montezuma Hotel, and when it stopped at the other end of the arc it was facing up Morley avenue to- ward the line. The negative is q long strip of film upon which is de- lineated with wonderful accuracy the entire range of buildings and the open street beyond, which passed in front of the lens in its swing around the 60-degree segment of the circle. For another view the instrument was set at the corner of the park, and the negative pro- duced commences at the Interna. tional bank and sweeps in all the street to the northward, ending in an open view where Morley avenue goes through the cut opposite Rail- road Row A third negative is q view of string of nine freight cars about 100 feet in length. The camera was set about seventy feet away from the center car, and the button was pressed. The negative resulting was a splendid view of the entire string of cars.
 The negatives are all finely exc cuted, and would reproduce splen- didly in photo. engravings (such as those presented each week in TIE OAsIs). With the new instrument Mir. Newman will take many fine views of Nogales and vicinity, some of which will be reproduced in these columns.
