According to s. P. Bogran. son Of
the late President Bogras Of Hondu-
ras, the republic is enjoying greater
prosperity than for many years past
simply because Panama hats are in
fashion. Honduras and the State OF
Panama are the only two countries
where Panama hats are made, and the
revolution in Colombia has kept peo-
pie In Panama too busy to be manu-
featuring hats. So Honduras has
plenty Of business in this line.
The Honduras government has
found the new industry so adVanta-
geous that It Is giving It every encour-
agement and extending special privi-
leges and exceptions from taxation to
the factories manufacturing Panama

A national patriotism appears to be
influencing wireless t~elegraphy adop-
ton. Canada officially has recognized
the Marconi. this system being an
adopted child, as it was perfected and
demonstrated on Canadian soil, Great
Britain, through the Lloyd's contract,
has practically declared for the same
system. Germany is said to have des-
ignated the Slaby-Arco system as the
official system for navy and coast sig
nal stations. By similar reasoning
this country should declare for the
Tesla system, the practical work on
which has already been started in the
Long Island station. Tesla, in a re-
cent interview, declared that he had
solved the problem of secret messages
more than two years ago, when he
ETst considered the erection or a COM
mercial station. What, however, Will
be the result If each country adopts a
system which is not universal in its
scope? The value of the new inven-
ton to mariners will certainly be
much circumscribed

Lampblack, which for hundreds and

ingredient In dark pigments, may per-
haps be eventually displaced by acety-

ready manipulation. It is said that
aeetylene-black IS admirably adapted
for the uses OF the manufacturer Of

bars It's general introduction. A field

barber. He is from Alexandria, Va,
and was In the government service
for some time before he was assigned
to the White House to attend to the
Presidents head and face and to per

cabinet room is a folding BARRIERS
chair, which, when not in use, is
placed against the wall and remains
u~nobserved. The President sits in
this and Is shaved in the cabinet room.
Delaney folds the chair and puts It
away when he gets through. The
work is quickly done, as the Presi-
lent apparently begrudges the time
taken, and wants to be up and doing
something. President Mckinley al
ways shaved himself, using either a
