Alabama will Be There
Attention Architects.

I beg to direct the attention of the pub lie spirited architects of Alabama to the fact that Alabama will be at the St. Louis Worlds Fair. There is crying de- manL in the State for the Alabama Builli- ing. The popular idea is that this build ing should be a reproduction of the State Capitol as it stood in 1881 at that crisis in our States: history when President Jefferson Davis delivered his inaugural address. The floor dimensions of the building is not to exceed seventy feet In length by fifty in width. two stories hlgn with cross halls on lower floor and TO- tunda, dome porch columns and steps The contemplation is it will be wooden frame with cement exterior, plastered on interior. An inexpensive plan is desired. The plans and specifications, elevations proportions and divisions of fioorage into halls will be left to the suggestion of architects, The plans and specifications are to be contribution, the only con- pensation given for this service being that plans will be placed in a conspicuous place on the walls of the building. and in ad- dition thereto he will be employed to si,- perVise the construction of the buildIn, at Alabama rates for the same. All pInns and specifications are to be forwarded to Director W. N. Malone of Birmingham. who will submit them to the Board of Dr. rectors.
 Respectfully,
 Chas. P. Lane, President Alabama Worlds Fair Assooi-

SPECIAL LETTERS
 FROM PANAMA.

The events of the last few weeks on the Isthmus of Panama are of WOrld- wide importance. A revolution occurred there on November 3, the people of the Isthmus casting of the bonds that held them in national unity with Colombia and establishing the Republic of Panama. That Republic, the youngest of all the nations, now exists as an independent de jure government having been recog- nized by the United States. Germany and France. Its permanancy is assured by the fact that that the United States has assumed a protectorate over it. that ac- tion having been taken with a view to guaranteeing our own rights in the ship canal 1t is proposed to construct across the Isthmus.
 All of these things the people know; but the true inwardness of the situation in that tropic land is as a sealed book to the people of the United States. The revolution was bloodless one; but who knows how 1t was brought about, the steps leading up to 1t, and the nature of the sentiment which caused the Pana- manians to create for themselves an inde- pendent nation? It is known that the pro visional government which has been eS- tablished is in the hands of Junta; but who knows the caliber of men cOmpos- ing that Junta. their capacity for gov ernment their capabilities for adminis- tering the trust reposed in them, and their standing beSore the people? 1t is known that there are fair prospects of an early conclusion of the canal negotia- tions; but who knows the recent state Of the canal project, and the various other questions with which this new republic will have to do? Who knows the pros poets of the country. the outlook for it's new government. its sources of revenue resources, methods. etc.?
 These are things about which the Amer lcan public is in ignorance. and 1t is es- sential that ignorance be dispelled before Congress settles itself seriously to con sideration of the canal project. The Ad- vertiser proposes to have its share in en-

Taro
CONTINUED from Isl pdge.)

of growing taro must have an abupd-
ant supply of running water, and it
needs also to be very rich. Many OF
the taro fields now in cultivation have
been planted in taro, with hardly any
rest, for one hundred years or more.
The old Hawaiians understood The
needs of occasional fertilizing and oft
en- allowed their patches to go with
out crop for one season. They also
planted certain weeds or burs In the
taro patches, and spaded under the
growth, thus not only giving the patch
a rest, but adding considerable
amount of organic matter to the soil
The available irrigated faro land is
about all occupied. The opening up of
new areas for its cultivation would be
dependent, either upon the discovery
of sources of additional water supply
or upon more careful use OF the water
now available.--T. f. Sedgwick.
