available for an isthmain canal These
Congressional gentlemen would cast
their eagle eyes over the field, size up
the situation at a glance and return
to the national capital prepared to
solve off-hand a problem which the
ablest engineers in >-e world would
have approached with difidencc and
serious misgivings.
The American statesman of the type
most numerous in Congress is usually
man of great erudition and OF many
accomplishments. In his ineXhaustible
lexicon there is no such word as fail.
Other men less gifted frankly admit
that there are limitations upon their
knowledge Our statesmen make no
humilitating concession, for they
know it all" There is not one OF them
who would hesitate after enjoying
a junketing expedition to Central
canal route problem. The gentleman
from the boundless prairies of the West,
where the only canals known to the
natives are ditches dug for irrigation
purposes; the gentleman from the
mountain districts, where babbllng
brooks are the chief waterways;
the gentleman from those inhospitable
regions where the rivers are frozen
over from early fall to late spring
each and all are fairly bursting with
knowledge about interoceanic canals
in tropical lands. All they need is lit
tie encouragement from the govern
ment in the shape of nice trip. eX-
penses prepaid. to Central America.
When they return to Washington
they will take the nation into their
confidence and the question will be
settled forever and for aye.
Uncle Sam has an incurable weak
ness for the bargain counter, and
opportunity to acquire valuable inform
alton on such easy terms Wise men
have burned the midnight oil over the
problems of engineering, devoted thei:
lives to the study of artificial water
ways and given years to investigating
the advantages of the only available
routes for an isthmain canal. They
however, are merely plain scientists
who can reach conclusions only after
serious reflection and mathematical
calculations that make an untutored
genius sad and weary. If the mystery
is to be solved at once, Uncle Sam
must order one of his pleasure yachts
to Washington. stock it with the
luxucies of the season, both solid anC
fluid, take aboard a select assortment
of statesmen. and thus sail for Contra
America When the feast of reason anc
the flow of soul is well under way
our solons will have a revelation, and
then the problem of building an inter
oceanic canal will be as easy as dig
ging an irrigation ditch. By all means
let the iunket proceed.

Music for the Veterans.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
May be allowed little space to express
nv humble opinion as to the kind and
ona ntity of music to be rendered at the ma
t,onal enca.mpment Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic? 54
As far as I remember. never heard any
atfemnt before to restrict or prescribe
the music for any Of our great annual en-
campments, and nave been at most OF
them. I mean to say that the musical pro-
gram has always been left to manage itself
at these meetings. Like the boy whistling,
'it did ITSELF" It's spontaneity is it's charm.
One could as we'll prescribe the scale and
xamut for the lark or the mockingbird as
to try to control the songs of old soldiers
when they get together or march in their
annual parades The young generation can
hardly understand, no one, indeed, but a
soldier can possibly appreciate the volun-
tary and uncomfortable impulse OF the sol
diers to sing the old songs OF the war-few.

hut they will brook nothing else, hear moth

its natural and necessary expression with

NOT understand 1t at all. We sang them In
camp. on the way to battle, in the prison
pens by land and sea, and they are dear
to us as life and light" We sang the old
songs after the war because we sang them
floating down to US on a stream of MEM
ories sweet as life. We taught our babies
to lisp them, and our sons and daughters,
now grown up, delight our old age with
their rendition marching Through Geor-

FINE GROWTH OF MILLET.
Department of Agriculture to Photo
graph Ten-Acre Field.

Owing to the fact that the hay crop In
the vicinity of Washington is almost a fall
ure this year, attention is attracted to a
ten-acre field of German millet on the farm
of Mr.. Robert A. Phillips, at North Airing
ton, two and one-half miles west of Wash
ington. This field is now at It's best, and
the grain stands from three to four and
one-half feet high, with well-filled heads.

hay per acre. The Department Of Agricul-

A Dangerous Derelict.

The derelict schooner r. B. Woodside
which has been a menace to vessels sailing
along the Atlantic coast for several months
is still afioat and was sighted few days
ago. She is becoming memorable for keep
ing afioat so long. She was abandoned
March last while on voyage from Flor
ida port north with lumber in latitude 30 de-
grees 10 minutes north and longitude 78 de-
grees 20 minutes west. Since then she has
been sighted about forty times, and Is esti-
mated to have dGifted $500 miles, but never
more than 800 miles from where she was
abandoned. Efforts have been made to burn
her up but without success. A portion Of her
stern Is gone, and through this her cargo of
lumber Is drifting. All her masts are gone
except the foremast, and to this the rig
ging Of the flying jibboom still remains.

Human Bomb at River View.

To be carried up in the air by big gas
balloon while incased In a large shell, and
seeing nothing OF what Is going on until
the shell expIodes and blows its occupant
out, is a feat that requires considerable
nerve, but such feat was performed at
River View both Saturday and yesterday
by young Walter HazeltOn In the presence
OF a big crowd of spectators both after
moons. The feat was daring one, and
when the young aeronaut landed safely
from his parachute he was loudly applaud
ed Satusday's ascension was, II anything
the more successful Of the two, the ball
loon ascending fully 1900 feet before the
bomb burst II was then lowering over
the Virginia hills not far from Fort Hunt.
With the sound Of the explosion Hazelton
clinging to his parachute. was seen falling
through the smoke and fame. For 400 or
more feet he fell like a stone. then the para
chute opened and he came gracefully down.
Instead of lighting on the ground, however,
he hung up In a dead tree, fully sixty feet
high, from which the parachute had to be
cut. The balloon fell In Great Hunting
creek, about five miles from the View.
Yesterdays performance was witnessed
by a throng numbering fully 1000 persons.
The preliminary work OF Initiating the bal
loon and arranging the bomb was looked
after by Prof. Ed. r. Hutchinson Yester-
day the balloon shot almost directly up
ward until the bomb under the balloon
looked no larger than cocoanut- Then,
striking draft OF air, 1t Travelled north

fell the parachute landed Its human
freight in an open field about mile north
OF the View. The balloon this time fell in
Broad creek So successful have been the
two performances that Capt. Randall has
engaged Prof. Hutchison's company to re-
peat the feat Wednesday, Saturday and
Sunday next. Walter Hazelton, the ''hu-
man bomb" Is but twenty-one years OF
age. and has been with the Hutchison COM
pany for three years. He has made nearly
two hundred ascensions and ordinary para
chute drops. but has done his human bomb
act but eleven times.

years of age, was arrested Saturday after

port of the theft was made to the police,
and the ornament was recovered by De-
tectives Parham and F1ather
The case will be heard in the Police Court

AFTER SPOONER's SEAT,

A dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis, says
that there is no longer any doubt In the
minds of the stalwarts Of that city that
Governor LaFollette is a candidate for the

Of interesting political information is an
nounced, and as Haugen is one Of the gov
ernor's most trusted lieutenants and clos

who doubts that 1t Is authentic.
There has been an impression abroad for
many months that the governor has been
waiting for this opportunity for advance
ment for some time and that his plans have
been made with the attainment of that OBJ
ject in view. At the republican convention
he laid especial stress on the fact that none
but men who were in hearty accord with
the platform should be nominated for the
legislature, and his insistence on this point
is now interpreted to mean legislators who
would vote to send him to the United States
Senate should he be a candidate.
