The Panama Route.


The advantages in tho Panama route may
be briefly snmm arised as follows: "A shorter
route, 143 miles shorter than the NicAragus;
possibility Of daylight voyage between the

level canal, wkich can never be- secured at
Nicaragua; less cost of maintenance.
But the government Of Colombia has not
etgiven evidence that it appreciates the
necessity Of melting satisfactory concession
to the United States for the construction OF
the canal .: Pansms. While the represen.
taiives Of Nicaragua and Costa Plea are
alert and active In forwarding negotiations
favorable to the Nicaragua route, those Of
Colombia appear to be asleep to the emer-
gepcy that confronts Panama.

avail itself Of the opportunity now opsLed
before it TO secure tae construction of the
canal through its territory, it must make
advances immediately and directly to oul

fore Christ was born 1t was removed
to Alexandria, and placed in the Tenn
pie of Caesarien during the reign Of
Augustus Caesar. In 1877 the Khe-
dive of Egypt presented the ancient
monolith to the United States, and
after consuming three years in its re-
moyal to this country, it was set up
in Central Park in 1881. The pedestal
is nine feet, four and one-half inches
square at the base, is seven feet high
and weighs 40 tons. The monolith is
70 feet in height, is seven feet square
Mt the base, five and one-half feet
square at the apex and weighs 224
tons. The destructive effects of our
climate had already accomplished some
damage on its surface--7sO pounds of
loose stone being removed before meas
ures were taken to preserve 1T.
A commission composed of promi-
nent scientists examined the stone and
decided that the wearing away was
caused by the action of acids and aka
lies in the air. resulting from the coal
consumed. The commission resolved
to employ the Caffal paratfine process
of waterproofing the obelisk. Paraf-
fine. which is known to resist the ac-
tlon of all acids and alkalies, was used
MS n base, and the compound after be-
ing spread over the surface, was set
into the stone by means of heat.
The process did not change the nat
ural color and texture of the stone, and
checked the decay. So satisfactory
was the result of the experiment that
the same treatment has been since
adopted by builders throughout the
country.

y census report SLOWS that there is
considerably less illiteracy among chill
dren between 10 and IA years of age
than there was ten years ago, and this
is rightfully interpreted as evidence of
the increased efficiency Of the school
system. In many States the number
of such children who cannot read and
write is hardly appreciable. Starting,
for example, with the Territory of
Oklahoma, which has a percentage of
1926 Of literates, the range upward Is
to 90.66 in Nebraska, there being twen-
ty-eight States in this list besides Okla
homa and the District Of Columbia.
The first State below the dividing line
is Missouri, 9G.G4 per cent, and a second
list, comprising the more illiterate d.
vision, would be made up entirely of
the Southern and border States-Ne-
vada, New Mexico, Arizona and the In
dian Territory. If it were considered
by itself alone the showing might be
thought very discouraging, for in one
State, Louisiana, the percentage of H.
literacy among the children is 32.SS,
but the significant fact is that there
has been great improvement. Con-
timing ourselves to the Southern and
border States alone, we note the follow
ing changes in percentages of children
between the ages named who can read
and write.

One of the most notable discoveries
of recent years is this, which has just
rewarded the efforts of the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is n process of
making green tea without the use of
chemicals. When the leaf is dried in
the ordinary way the oxygen of the
atmosphere unites with natural fer
ment in the leaf and turns 1t black. Tc
preserve the color of the leaf and make
a green tea two deadly poisons are
usually employed, says the Washing
ton Star.
The new discovery is that by heating
the leaves to a high temperature the
ferment is killed. oxygenation prevent
ed and the green color of the leaf is
retained. Secretary Wilson shows

HERE'S A TURBINE MADE
OF MUSSEL SHELLS.

To make, the pretty turbine shown in
our Illustration we take large round
wooden box, without cover, and in
sert near the bottom small pipe made
Of wood or tin to allow the water to
flow off. To make the box watertight
we close all the cracks with putty and
paint the inside with thick paint. In the
center of the bottom we fasten button
having small cavity to serve as turn
ing point of the turbines axle. We
fasten two small sticks Of wood on two
opposite points Of the box and broad
err wooden strip, with hole In Its CELL
ter for the axle connecting their tops,
as shown in our illustration. We fasten
a cork near the upper end of the wood
en- axle to hold the belt.
To make the wheel we take larger
round piece of cork or wood, and make
teeth-like incisions to hold the shells,
which we fasten with little screws. AZ
ter the wheel is done we fasten 1t to
the axle.
To set the turbine in motion, we have
to play thin but strong stream of wa
ter on the shells, as shown in our illus
tration, and the little turbine will work
like n regular water wheel, setting In
motion whatever little machinery we
attach to 1t.

There is some reason to believe that
the excessive use Of slang in recent
times takes the place of the earlier
habit of swearing. If we may trust
Shakespeare, and for the most part he
is very reliable. lords and ladies Of
high degree in his day, as well as per-
sons Of humber state, were given to
round, sonorous oaths. According to
history Queen Elizabeth herself was
addicted to the habit and expressed
her mind in terms that We're as pro-
fame as they were forcible. a writer
in the New York Times calls attention
to the enormous number of oaths
which are vital part of historical
novels. Sir Walter Scott's romances
are saturated with them and writer's
of the present day create much of their
local atmosphere by shower of pro-
family which at once recalls the four
teenth, the sixteenth or the seventeenth
century. Whether the English law
imposing fine Of one shilling on la
borer and two shillings on gentleman
for swearing had anything to do with
the decrease in profanity or whether
more refined social order put limit
to its excess the fact remains that
swearing is far less common than for
merly and the woman who swears is
not known, at least in polite society.
But, as If some kind of explosive were
necessary to give vent to excessive
emotions, slang is now resorted to on

ism continued until 1888, when he be-
came the editor of the Knoxville Wing.
His trenchant editorials, his hot de-
bates and his absolute fearlessness
won for him national reputation. 1t
was not long before he was known as
the fighting parson," an appellation
whose propriety he denied
In 1913 he opposed Andrew johnson
for Congress, but failed of election.
He was staunch advocate of slavery,
and his denunciations Of the abolition
lists smacked of the style which Henry
Watterson now employs when writing
of his political foes. But his loyalty
to the Union was unbounded, and he
had no sympathy for those who urged
the separation of the States. AS the
war approached, his editorials became
more and more bitter and brought upon
him the opposition of the Southerners
who favored an independent govern
ment. He stood between two fires.
The North did not like him because
he favored slavery, the South reviled
him for his defense of the National
government. AS his enemies increased
the thunder of his editorial eloQuence
increased in volume. When from every
other house in Knoxville the Union flag
had disappeared it still floated over
his. Finally his paper was suppressed,
he was driven from his home, cap
tured and imprisoned, but in the
whales belly of Confederate prison
he proved as uncomfortable an Occu-
pant as Jonah, and was spewed forth
and set within the Union lines. Com
ing North, he addressed large audi
ences and awakened great enthusiasm
in favor of the enlistment of troops.
His family was expelled from Knox
vile, and together they travelled
through the northern part of the coun-
try, where he spoke In all the principal
cities. Many people of the North who
had previously been unfriendly now
realized that they had been mistaken
in their estimate of the mans charac-
ter. A similar state of mind possessed
the Tennessee folk, for when peace had
been declared and reconstruction had
followed the turbulence of the war,
Brownlow was twice elected Governor
Of the State. In his first message he
advocated the removal of the negro
population to a separate territory and
declared 1t bad policy to give them the
ballot. In 1867 his combativeness found
play in a conflict with the mayor of
Nashville over the manner in which
judges of election should be appointed,
and the United States troops were or
dered to Nashville to sustain the Gov
ernor. In 1869 he was elected to the
United States Senate and served six
years, at the end of which period he
was succeeded by ex-President Andrew
johnson. After the close of his term
he returned to Knoxville and until his
death continued the publication of the
Wing.

Where does the superabundant cleo

from? In the annual report Of the Uni.

veloped. Ten drops, each charged to one

lively small tension of the atmosphere
charges soon becomes enormously null

1.-THE FIGHTING PARsoN. ;.
Gov. william G. Brownlow, of Ten
ucssec, Was a Uniuue Figure.


Many unique characters stand out
conspicuously in the religious history
OF the United States. There have been
the originators Of sects-like Joseph
Smith, and Alexander Campbell, and
Dowie. There have been men like
Beecher and Talmage and host of
others who combined with their knowl-
edge Of theology and the spiritual
needs Of men a grasp of other ques-
lions which had to do with material
things. There have been broad-minded
and strong-minded men of the cloth
whose bold utterances have had an in
fluence in shaping the trend of public
affairs, who dared combat popular
opinion and whose principles and theo-
ries ultimately triumphed. They were
not seekers after the bauble of popu-
larity. To enthrone right and justice
was their aim. OF such us these was
William Gannaway Brownlow, one of
the most fearless men who ever spoke
from pulpit or turned the stream of
his thought into the columns of the
press. A plant sprung up on Virginia
soil, he was transplanted to the Cum
berland Mountains, where he flourished
and blossomed and decayed. Through.
out the land he was known as '.the
fighting parson," yet more peaceable
man never lived. Eventually the peo-
pie of his State came to respect his SIN
cerity, the nobility of his character and
the power of his intellect and manifest
ed their esteem by electing him to high
Office.
Brownlow was born in Wythe Coun-
ty, Virginia, in August, 1905, and was
left an orphan at II. He became car
penter, and besides earning living
earned enough to obtain for himself
fair English education. At the age of
81 he entered the Methodist ministry,
and for ten years labored as an itin.
Grant preacher in the Southern noun
tains. He was preaching in John G.
Calhoun's district, in South Carolina,
in the campaign of 1923, and achieved
great notoriety for his opposition to
Calhoun. He opposed notification, and
this made him Notwithstanding
most young men of 90 do not care to
be. His efforts in behalf of Method
