 w. l.. B.-Please state whether American made machinery is shipped to other countries and sold cheaper than 1t is in this country.
 A. In some cases 1t is. The price at which it is possible to sell an arti- Gle in America by no means regulates US price in another country. If a manufactures makes a machine at a cost of $1O and sells it at SIP in this country, he is not likely to neglect an opportunity to sell 1t in another coun- try at $11. Perhaps in still another country he will be at the same time getting SIS. Again, 1t is often neces- sary to make low prices to introduce articles in a new market, the manu- facturer relying on sales after de mand is created to reimburse him for earlier losses.

The Climate of Panama.

From special report made to the state department by MT. John Barrett, American minister to Papama, says Harper's Weekly. the cli11ate of the isthmus is by no means so unhealthy as it is usually described. He says that, as a matter of fact, there was not single night in July or in August when it was impossible to sleep com fortably and that on an average the days have not been hotter than they were in New York or Washington. At the date when MT. Barrett wrote there had not been single case of yellow fever for over month, and there was less malaria than is often encountered in sections of the United States. Of course the existing sanitary arrange ments of the isthmus leave much to be desired, but MT. Barrett has no doubt that when the plans adopted by the canal commission for the improvement of the canal zone and of the adjoining cities of Panama and Colon have been carried out the isthmus will be one of the healthiest regions in the world.

Though the soul of generosity, there was nothing slipshod in Hoar's idea of honesty. He would never accept gifts of any kind from corporations that deal with the public.
 New York to Washington, his seat mate being the railroad manager. When the conductor came to collect fares the rail- road official was astonished to see a United States senator pull from his pocket regulation ticket to be punch ed As soon as he could, the manager mailed to Mr. Hoar season pass over his lines, only to have it returned by next mail with MT. Hoar's thanks and with the statement that the senator never accepted free passes.
 The same strict integrity marked his legal practice. A client brought suit on the strength of Mr. Hoar's opinion that he would win the case. But the client lost, and MT. Hoar refused to take a fee. He saw no reason why man should pay for his lawyers blunder.
 Senator Hoar had one story that he was fond of telling. It ran as follows, says the Chicago Tribune:
 My old friend Professor Gallaudet Of the deaf and dumb college in Wash ington told me some twelve or fifteen years ago pathetic story, which I think may be well applied to great many gentlemen who have political crotchets or peculiar notions in their heads. He had little boy in his insti- tuition between i've and six years old, a little deaf and dumb fellow, very precocious, and the doctor liked very much to talk to him and he liked to talk to Dr. GalIaudet. One day the doctor asked him if he knew the story of George Washington and the hatchet. The little fellow said he did.
 "'Well,' said the doctor, won't you tell me-?
 ..So he began to spell it on on his fingers, and when he came to the right place in the story, He took the hatchet in his left hand and he said to his fa- ther'
 .'The doctor interrupted him. What did he take the hatchet in hiS left hand forg Why, he wanted his Tight hand to tell him with said the boy"
 A little more than year ago Senator Hoar was in Chicago and visited the Armour institute, where he talked to the students.
 ''I feel as if I were talking to 1,200 of my grandchildren began the ven erable senator. Probably you do not know it, but I believe and take pride in the belief that am the grandfather of technical education in the United States. I made the first address in be- half of such education It was deliv cred before the Massachusetts legisla- ture years ago. I wish to defend the honor that I feel in being thus pio- neer in the field in which you labor.

 In the senate chamber Mir. aoar sometimes kept his nearest neighbor8 in continuous laugh by his running comments on the proceedings. Hia colleagues could accurately gauge hss humor by observing how he played with his bunch of keys. If he waved them gently over his desk he would bo found amiable; if he moved them quickly or jerkily he was dispIeased; If the speaker having the floor should say something to excite the Massachu- setts senator's combativeness the keys would tap his desk sharply, says writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
