Immediately after the adjournment of
the Congress revolution broke out in
Panama. The people of Panama had
long been disconnected with the Republic
of Colombia, and they had been kept quiet
only by the prospect of the conclusion
of the treaty, which was to them a mat
ter of vital concern. When it became
evident that the treaty was hopelessly
lost. the people of Panama rose literally
as one man. Not shot was fired by
single man on the isthmus in the interest
of the Colombian Government. Not
life was lost in the accomplishment of
the revolution. The Colombian troops
stationed on the isthmus, who had long
been unpaid, made common cause with
the people of Panama, and with aston
ishing unanimity the new republic was
started. The duty of the United States
in the premises was clear. In strict ac-
cordance with the principles laid down
by Secretaries Cass and Seward in the Of
fetal documents above quoted, the United
States gave notice that it would permit
the landing of no expeditionary force,
the arrival of which would mean chaos
and destruction along the line of the rail-
road and of the proposed canal, and an
interruption of transit as an inevitable
consequence The de facto Government
of Panama was recognized in the follow
ing telegram to Mr.. Ehrman:
1.-The people of Panama have, by ap-
parently unanimous movement, dissolved
their political connection with the Re
public of Colombia and resumed their in
| dependence. When you are satisfied that
a de facto government. republican In
| form and without substantial opposition
| from Its own people. has been established
| in the State of Panama. you will enter
| into relations with it as the responsible
| government of the territory and look &c

Gill had spent more years in Sing
Sing than any other convict, n
when he was told he was free he could
scarcely grasp the warden's meaning.
Even after he had exchanged his
stripes for the plain black prison
made suit given to discharged prison
ers, he acted like a man might in a
dream. All the way to New York he
nestled close to the side of Brother
Jerome, gazing in silent wonder at the
sights.
At the Grand Central station the
crowds seemed greatly to confuse the
old man and he followed his benefac-
tor closely, as If in momentary terror
that he might lose him in the shift
ing throng. Mr.. Jerome hurried Gill
to a neighboring restaurant, where,
for the first time since 1874, the old
mar tasted food other than the plain
prison Nare. Oysters were what Gill
craved most and he got them, all he
could eat.
After the meal Brother Jerome and
his charge boarded a street car and
the old nan had the first electric car
ride of his life. The trolleys i'm
pressed him more than all the other
changes since he last saw New York
and he was still marveling about them

Professors Moissan and Dewar have
lately succeeded with the aid of liquid
hydrogen in solidifying fuorin. and
they remark that helium is now the
only gas which has not been obtained
in the solid state. An interesting re-
suit of the experiments was the demon
stration that. although chemical activ-
ity tends to cease It extremely low
temperatures. yet huorin, which is
known to possess more powerful afini-
ties than any other element. is capable.
even when reduced to the solid state.
Of combining with liquid hydrogen.
Such a combination, accompanied with
q violent explosion, was produced when
the solid fuorin and liquid. hydrogen
were kept at a temperature of 252.b de-
grees c., equivalent to 1925 degrees Il.
below zero.
