PLACE FOR A MONUMENT.
Point on Isthmus Of Panama from
Which Balboa First Saw the
Pacific Ocean.

To the southwest OF Gorgona. mid
way OF the Panama canal, a lofty,
rocky hill is pointed out as the one
from which Nunez de Balboa first saw
the great western ocean, afterward
named the Pacific Perhaps. says
Youths Companion, II Is really the one,
although the Pacific Is in sight also
from the tops Of several other peaks
thereabouts. also from the summit Of
the Culebra, seven miles father south
east.
Assuming tradition to be right, Eel
Cerro de Balboa has historic value--as
the landmark Of an intrepid soul. one
OF those stout old hearts that broke
on the threshold Of the new world four
centuries ago When the canal ia com
pleted. and the stately ships Of both
hemispheres 80 steaming through it
from ocean to ocean. a monument
should be erected to Balboa on this
pinnacle hill: for Balboa was the first
10 open a way across the isthmus, and
over II he transported. from the Allan.
tic to the Pacific. the materials for
constructing two vessels.
Balboa has been accused Of selfish
ambition and cruelty, but it does not
appear that he was cruel. judged by
the standards of his time: and but for
ambition Whist would have been ac-
complished in that or any century?
These accusations too. issued from
the mouths OF his desractors and from
the sordid viceroy. who. jealous Of Bal
boa's growing fame, had him treacher-
ously beheaded. Il was the politics Of
the times But the achievement worth
remembering and worth commemorat-
ing by a monument is that here a
brave explorer first saw the Pacific,
and fred by a grand ambition to navi-
gate that then unknown ocean, made
what may be called a ship-road across
the isthmus.

SALT Is ~SUPTRFLUOUS.

The scientists say that all the salt
a person needs is contained in a pro-
per regimen of food. Nearly all arti-
cics Of food contain salt, and there is
nc necessity for reinforcement from
other sources, The Indian in the
WiidS Of America did not eat salt,
and the negro in Darkest Africa to-
day eats 10 salt. Dogs and cats will
not eat salt, and no animal needs it,
and few crave it. The mothers milk
contains very little salt, and cows
milk not much more.
The men of science say the taste
of salt is not innate or Instructive; it
is an acquired appetite, but it is
readily and easily acquired. This,
however, proves nothing. We do
need salt but the French scientists
insist We get a sutficiency in the food
we consume daily.
The question is an old one and it
Is still unsettled, but it is pretty well
established that no harmful results
follow a disuse of the cOndiment
provided our food be sufficiently
varied. 1t is a peculiar delusion to
consider the use of salt a necessity.
Tales of disease arising from the
nOn-use Of salt are unfOunded. II is
a peculiar error, Just one Of thou
sand, and no greater errors exist
than popular errors. The scientists
of this Investigating are however
dissipating such errors. The need of
salt in the popular mind resembles
the belief in an equinocti2l storm in
September, when ia fact such storms
mere accidents or incidents Of
weather, without relation by the
autumnal equinox. The need of ex-
ira salt probably belongs in the
equinoctial storm list.
