Says United States Is Usurping
Privileges.
WILL RUN COMMERCE OF PANAMA
The Little Republic Claims Entire
sovereis~ty.ef The Cana! Zone
Merely Leased It.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The text
Sof the protest made by the republic of
Panama against the present admins
tration Of affairs in the canal zone has
been given out in Panama and has
lust reched Washington. 1t is in the
form of a letter written by Minister
Dbaldis to Secretary Hay under date
of August IL. In the letter Obaldis
oharges General Davis, governor of
he zone, with unwarranted usurpation
Of authority and violating provisions
of the Hay yarilla treaty. He AYERS
that Davis proceeded on the unten-
able assumption that the United
States possessed absolute sovereignty
over the canal strip. This position he
assails vigorously and urges not only
the suspension of the Objectionable
regulations, but the negotiation of a
new treaty which will more clearly
define the rights of the republic and
better protect her interests. The let
ter interprets the treaty as merely
giving the United States a lease of
territory, while the rights of Panama
10 the canal strip remain fixed and
unalterable.
The minister asserts that the levy
ing of duties and the establishment of
postoffices by the United States will
result practically in the commercial
ruin of Panama. He closes with an
appeal to Secretary Hay to suspend
the Objectionable regulations imposed
by Governor Davis until a complete
and satisfactory agreement can be
reached by the, two governments.

A NEW DEVICE TO GUARD A RING.
Adjustable Holder to BE Used When
Finger Loses Flesh.

TttAOt OcS
There are various cause for
changes in the size Of the fingers
which simply means the loss of flesh
between the joints. but 1t Is seldom
that the joints themselves change,
except to increase in size. For this
a the person whose fingers have
grown thin from sickness or other
causes finds that II a ring is cut down
to fit snugly where it is customarily
worn there is trouble in getting 1t
over the joint. There is an easier
way out of the difficulty than having
the ring cut down, and one which per-
mits the ring to be worn as usual
should the flesh return to the hand
again.
There has been invented a spring
device to be inserted in the ring which
has the effect of decreasing the dame
ter, and at the same time drawing the
ring down against the upper side Of
the finger. This gives the appearance
of a tightly fitting ring. while in
reality there may be a considerable
space on the upper side; but no mat
ter how loose the ring was before the
insertion of this spring, 1t is now held
firmly in place and there is no danger
Of its slipping from the finger. Should
it be difficult to pass the ring over
the joint with the spring In place the
latter can be slipped out before the
ring Is taken on.

ToRPEDoEs ARE NOT NEW.
Chinese Used the Explosive More
Six Hundred Years Ago.


The torpedo is not a modern inven.
ton, as the majority of people sup
pose. 1t, like many other devices OF
which civilized nations boast, is hoary
with age. The invention Of gunpow-
der by the Chinese seven centuries
ago, commonly attributed to the Con.
fucians, has been disputed, and the
credit for the discovery has been Civ.
en- by various authorities to the
Greeks or Romans.
C~ombustibles like naphtha, to which
class Greek fire belongs, were in use
in the armies Of the Califs, and were
confounded with explosives. Marcus
Graecus seems to have had a recipe
for making gunpowder from saltpeter,
coal and sulphur, and his career has
been placed as early as the ninth EN-
fury; but it would be more correct
to place his life in the middle of the
thirteenth. A critical sitting of the
whole evidence leads to the conclu-
sion that saltpeter was first known in
China, but not before the middle OF
the twelfth century.
In the successful defense of the Chi.
nese city Piauking against the Mon
gols, explosives, blasting bodies and
rockets were employed against the
enemy, and some diagrams exist
which show the form in which these
explosives were used.
