Panama's Freedom From EARTHQUAKES

From the Engineering Magazine.
The relative danger of earthquake DIS
turbances On the different routes suggested
for an isthmian canal has naturally at
tracted the attention of engineers. To Sc
cure definite information as to this matter
two>delicate seismographs were established
at the company hospital near Panama in
September, 1900, and the record is continu-
Gus since that date, covering forty-four
months. The register shows seven slight
tremors, four light shocks and no severe
shocks, the total duration of the disturb
ances being less than half minute. 1t
fortunately happened that the wel-equip-
ped Institute FiscO-Geogra phico under the
direction of Monsieur Pittier situated at
San Jose de Costa Rica, about sixty miles
from the projected locks of the eastern
division of the Nicaragua canal route, in
stituted similar series of observations in
January, 1901, the results of which have
been published in the United States Monthly
Weather Review These simultaneous rec
ords now cover thirty of the forty
four months registered at Panama and show
in them forty-one tremors, eighty nine light
shocks and thirtyseven severe shocks, the
total duration of the earth motion being
more than sixteen minutes. The fact that
the Isthmus of Panama is much more sta bic
than the region traversed by the rival
route, and hence is less exposed to dangers
from earthquakes, is thus established be-

Grass for the Queen.

From the New York Times.
At children's party a Buckingham pal
ace the other day a little incident occurred
which furnished Queen Alexandra, who Is
very fond of children, with considerable
amusement. One of the small people pres
ent, a three-year-old son of Lady Lurgan,
has passion for soldiers, and was showing
his appreciation for the scarlet-coated mill
tary bandsmen who were playing in the
garden by picking daisies and presenting
them. Presently the queen CHANGED to pass
by. and graciously asked the small boy to
give her a daisy. The youngster looked
her majesty over, and compared her quiet
gown with the gay uniforms he admired,
then firmly replied:
NO. Grass for you" And handed the
queen a tiny handful of grass
The queen went off laughing at the little
boy, who was honest enough to show that
he preferred bandsmen in red coats to roy

cablegram from Tokyo last night says:
Admiral Togo has reported as follows:
"On August 10 our combined fleet attack
ed the ehemy's fleet near Gugan Rock. The
Russian vessels were emerging from Port
Arthur, trying to go south. We pursued
the enemy to the eastward
Severe fighting lasted from 1 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon until shutdown. To-
ward the close the enemys fire weakened
remarkably. His formation became con-
fused. and then his ships scattered.
The Russian cruisers Askold and Novik
and several torpedo-bOat destroyers fled to
the southwark. Other of the enemy's ships
retreated separately toward Port Arthur.
We pursued them, and it appears that
we inflicted considerable damage. We found
life-buoys and other articles belonging to
the Russian battle ship Czarevitch floating
at sea.
The Czarevitch probably was sunk
I'VE have received no reports from the
torpedo boats and the torpedo-boat de-
stroyers which were engaged in the attack
on the ships of the enemy.
The Russian vessels, with the exception
of the Askold, the Novik, the Czarevitch
and the cruiser Pallada, appear to have re-
turned to Port Arthur.
Our damage was slight Our fighting
power has not been impaired"
The Navy Department Report.
The navy department tonight issued a
brief statement of the engagement with
the Russian Port Arthur squadron on Au-
gust 10. The statement follows:
. According to reports received to date
the enemy's fleet, which emerged from
Port Arthur, was attacked by our fleet
south of Yentao Island. The Russian fleet
fled during the night. The cruisers Askold
Novik and another cruiser, with one tor
pedo-boat destroyer. ran into Kiao-chou
bay on the evening of August II. One tor
pedo- boat destroyer went to Chefoo and
three of the enemy'S battle ships, one
cruiser, probably the Diana, one hospital
ship, two gunboats and several torpedo

From Socialistic Point Of View

From the socialistic point of view there is
not particle of difference between Roose-
Welt and Parker. They stand for precisely
the same things. Aside from his party ties,
l believe that Roosevelt would be decidedly
reactionary in his attitude to the trusts.
'Roosevelt's stormy-petrel personality
and his consuming ambition to be the CEN
trail figure in the performance make him
somewhat offensive to the trust magnates
who, from force of habit, are used to haV-
ing their own way. even with the President
of the United States, as. for instance, IN

Captured by Wall Street.

1.-THE rank and file of the Industrial ele-
ments of the country look upon the dem
ocratic party as having been captured at
the st. Louis convention by the Wall street
wing of the party, and that in the event of
the party's success the administrat ton
would be dominated wholly by that power,
and labor would look in vain for relief
from corporate oppression and injustice.
In taking this view the people have been
Influenced largely by their former leader

convention met, issued a warning that the
nomination of Judge Parker would mean

Higher Education in India.

India is covered with great universi-

All instruction is in English but the
more ambitious youth must break
through caste and actually cross the
Kalapani the 'black-water," which an
cient Hindus were prohibited from
venturing upon.
This one returns an Indo- -Gothique,
emancipated from spiritual law and
tradition. But there is no place for
him either in Hindu or English soci-
ETY.. He cares no longer to live in
the most composite family of his rela-
tons; he shakes hands and slaps the
hack >of the "old man" whose lotus
feet he used to fall and kiss. He
thought the higher education would
make him a great man-an <'illustrious
fellow-citlzen." But the English who
received him so warmly in London
withdraw their cordiality in India. He
has offended his own, and even though
he may through expensive penances
return to his CASTE the sacred thread
of family and spiritual relation is
broken. His acute attack of English
education has resulted in chronic
gloom and disappointment
