A very interesting discussion viii come
up later on in connection with the pro-
jeCt for a canal at Panama. 1t is under
stood that there is in existence a very
old Chinese map which shows the Anne
riCan continent at period when North
and South America were not connected
by the neck of land that now forms the
isthmus at Panama.
This may indicates it is said that at
one time ships sailed from the Atlantic
to the Pacific oceans through a broad
channel which at some later period. it
is supposed by those who give CredenCe
to this map, was filled by some seismic
influence forming the isthmus as it eN-
lists today.
If such a theory could be established
it would conform entirely to what has
been declared by many witnesses who
have appeared before the canal commit
tee in relation to the character of soil
that is met on the Isthmus of Panama
This soil, these witnesses have deCla-
red, is of so unstable a character that
they believe it will be found impossible
to maintain any slope i'm the excavation
of the canal except such that would be
enormously expensive and would make
the canal practically impossible because
of the enormous expense incurred in
the removal of vast bodies of material.
While some rock has been met by
boring. those witnesses who have taken
this view of the matter are not salts
fed that it is not rock in the form Of
boulders, giving no stability for heavy
foundations that will be needed for the
dam at Bohio and for other purposes.
In the absence of such rock, enormous
foundations Of concrete would have TO
be provided and the availability of such
foundations is a matter that is dues-
toned by engineers. Those who have
declared that the ancient Chinese may
showing that the neck Of land did not
always exist at Panama, it is under
stood. VIII make an endeavor to pre-
sent a copy of the map or at least to
locate it in such a way that it can be
copied for the committee.
This suggestion is an entirely novel
one, and if the map should be forthcom-
ing in due time it is apt to prove very
important feature i'm the discussion Of
the physical conditions that exist at
Panama

NOEAU'S ROUGH Trip
HAD TO LIE IN HILO FOR TEN
DAYS.
Driven out of Waipio Gulch ON Febru-
airy 2S-Took Provisions to Honokaa
and Kukuihaele Plantation.

When the steamer NOeau arrived
this morning from HilO, HonOkaa and
Kukuihaele, it was with feeling OF
relief that Captain Peterson and all
the members OF the crew saw the boat
tied alongside the Inter-lsland wharf.
She had the toughest experience prob
ably in her history ouAher last "trip and
for ten days she was lying helpless at
hilO during the storm which ragged
along the coats of Hawaii.
Going down to HonOkaa and kulIui-
haele week before last the NOeau met
good weather. She reached HOnOkaa
and Kukuihaele on Friday but the sea
was 50 rough that the passengers and
freight could not be landed. Captain
Peterson realized that the sea was too
bad to attempt to get anything ashore
so the boat went to Waipio gulch for
shelter The weather became worse
and from southwesterly, the wind had
shifted around on Friday and was
blowing at a furious rate from the
north and northeast, The waters
banked up at WaipiO and when the
waves began to break close to the
stern of the steamer, Captain Peterson
realized that he would have to pick up
his anchors and get away to HilO if
he hoped to save his vessel. The Noe
au went down to Hilo and remained
there from March 1 until March 10,
leaving there last Monday
She took a quantity of provision to
Honokaa and Kukuihaele plantations
on her up trip this week and loaded
over 5000 bags of sugar from those
places. The effects of the rain storms
along the Hamakua coast, were plain
~ visible. 1.-The coast was strewn with
Wreckage for miles, great logs being
piled up, together with broken lumber
of all description. Coming up, the YES
sci had to buck a heavy nOrtherly
swell. The sea was filled with wreck
age and the logs and stuff We're con-
stanty humping against the vesseIs
bow. On Friday night February 2S
when the steamer was making for Hilc
from the gulCh, there was not dry
place aboard the craft except inside
closely closed cabins The situation
was regarded as very dangerous and
watches were constantly kept by the
captain and mates and quartermasters

PRINCESS MARGARET.
n.urhter of Duke of COnnauxht Il
the Most Attractive Member
of British Royalty.

II is no exaggeration to say that
Princess Margaret of Connaught, King
Edwards pretty niece, who ''came out"
At ball in Dublin recently, is an ex-
tremely important figure on the inter-
national chessboard. She may take a
king.
The lively daughter of the duke of
Connaught is generally regarded in
continental diplomatic circles as the
most eligible of royal young women,
while those of her own country rec
ognize in Princess Margaret Great
Britain's best hope for fresh Euro
pean alliance. Already her name has
been mentioned in connection with
those of the prospective successors to
the two proudest thrones in Europe,
and it is hardly matter of doubt that,
sooner or later, some especially ex-
alted match will be made for her.
The fact that among her relatives
Princess Margaret is known a "Daisy"
goes far to prove that there is little
stateliness or undue self-conscious-
ness about the girl whose future prom
ises to be so brilliant. Her tempera-
ment is just what the temperament
of girl of 90 ought to be-lively and
not too serious. She is tall and grace
full and has the knack of making her
self liked wherever she goes. She rides
horseback; she is a devotee of the
camera and she is never so happy as
when there is dance in prospect.
Probably much of the tact and gra-
ciousness for which she is famous
Princess Margaret acquired from her
grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose
almost constant companion she was
for long time. Her parents, the duke
and duchess of Connaught, some years
ago made prolonged visit to India,
leaving Princess Margaret and her
younger sister in Queen Victoria's
:harge. Margaret was an especial IA
vorite of her royal grandmother, who
often commented On the resemblance
to herself, which can be noticed in

nance. Six years ago when she was
born loyal Russia was deeply disap-
pointed. The czar, however, gallant
ly assured his people that he was de-
lighted with his little girl and in
spite of the fact that three more tiny
women have come to bless his nur-
sery he has greeted them affection
ately and given to the first the most
unstinted devotion. It is whispered
in Russia that when the news of the
sex of the first baby was given the
emperor he smilingly said she would
some day rule Russia. To the in
finite satisfaction of her nurses and
parents she proved not only to pos
sess a wonderful physique, but all
the beauty of her mother and the
sound sense of her Danish grand
mother.
In the royal Russian household
there seemed to be from the hour Of
her birth a belief that she would
never have brother and on her
training the most extraordinary
amount of care and attention has
been lavished. This little girl with
a wonderful future has hardly known
days illness, she talked and walked
sooner than is the rule even with ro-
bust and forward children and she
possesses wisdom and gravity far
beyond her years. Where she has ap-

Gently with her baby sister, Grand
Duchess Anastasia, through the
streets of ST. Petersburg. The two
children were in big closed car
riage with their nurses, and were fol-
lowing their parents to the railway
station. There was a moments halt
along the route and when the
duchess lovely face was seen at the
carriage window cheer rose from
the people behind the guards. With
right royal grace the child calmly
took her baby sister from the nurses
arms and held her up, saying at the
top of her voice: isn't she sweet?"
The cheers rang out again and again,
the duchess nodded gayly and held
the baby for everybody to see until
the carriage rolled on.-St. Louis

How Birds Migrate.

Many of the smaller and weaker
birds, like the fy-catchers, vireos,
wrens, kinglets and bluebirds, in or
der to avoid their enemies, the
hawks, make their long flights by
night, stopping for rest and food in
the daytime. The larger and bolder
ones, like the hawks and crows, and
those of extremely rapid fight, like
the swallows and humming- birds, mi
CRATE fearlessly by day, and there
are some, like the Canada geese,
which travel just when they choose,
by day or night. Migrating birds
usually fly at height of from one
to three miles, and this enables them
to see the rivers, the mountain
ranges and the coast-line. By these
they direct their course, the old
birds remembering the way they
came before, and the young ones fol-

A MAN-HUNT WITH DOGS,
Exciting Pursuit of an Escaped Ne
gro Convict with the Aid of
BloOdhOunds

While at this camp had the good
fortune to witness a man chase by
bloodhounds. A convict had broken
bounds and the dogs were put on the
trail that was still warm. 1t was an
exciting scene, writes B. F. Blackburn,
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. I
know the thrill that comes with brush
ing the fox, but it is nothing to the
bay of the bloodhound on the trail Of
man, which makes the blood leap
wildly in ones veins. It was wild
country, picturesque in the extreme.
No one was near except a few prison
officials in charge of a hundred des-
sense of sentinel on lonely outpost
as the six bloodhounds bounded
through tangled forest, baying madly
at every leap. 1t was my chance
the chance of lifetime--and it was
not long before I had even passed the
warden, so eager was my desire to see
the finish. 1t came soon. The negro's
force was spent and he took to tree
in his effort to save himself from the
baying dogs. Icould not help thinking
of the scene when 'possum is treed.
But / doubt whether the simile oc-

finest bloodhounds in the state, whose
mouth was only a foot or two below
him. Dynamite had been known to
climb trees, and to make a spring ten
feet in getting up to the first branches.
It was a scene such as the Yankee press
loved to picture before the war. For
tunately 1 was quick enough to get
a snapshot when the black rascal was

Then the dogs were called off, and the
negro, unharmed, was taken back in
less than an hour after he began his
run for liberty.
