Jack London has found already an interpreta-
tive scholiast in a philosophical reader of 1.-THE
Sea Wolf" who sees in that clever yarn IAN
argument disguised as an CORY" He writes:
Look below the surface Of the mere story and you
W see that the sealing schooner Ghost is the SYM
Dol Of our world; that Wolf Larsen her master
STANDS Tor brute force and intelligence without
conscience; that Humphrey Van Weyden, whom
aGc i puts aboard the vessel. represents the
ideals. His story shows that struggle is essential
TO progress But for Larsen's brutality Van Wey-
den would never have been able to stand on his
own legs" Remove the Larsen yeast from the
lump OF society, and society would never rise.
This will probably be interesting news to
Mr.. London as to the other readers of his story

or semi-native population. Here are the
 consulates of the different countries and
 the residences of the consuls. the offices of the several steamship companies that touch at this port the residence ana ofice of the one banker in Colon, and the homes of all of the railroad em-
 ployes. Here. too. is the Hotel washing ton. an institution owned by the railroad company which, with its annex the Garfield, furnishes the only accommo- dation there Is in the place for tran slents who seek somewhat of comfort ana immunity from disease. Hard by the mo- tel is an Episcopalian church, built or soft stone in an attractive style. provlo- ed and maintained by the railroad com pany. Farther up the beach to the east ward is the home of the unmarried me chanics employed by the railroad com pany. This home is called the BarracKs' and is a great, barn-like structure, sim pie in construction, but well supplied with baths, reading and recreation rooms and comfortable sleeping quarters. Near the Barracks is the hospital. a commo- dious building set up on piles a hundred

never be remedied until the torch Is ap- piled to every building in this quarter and the destruction Is made complete. After that. if the swamp should be filled in, waterworks and sewerage provided the breeding places of mosquitoes de- stroyed for a distance of half a mile in every land direction from the city and the place rebuilt in a decent and sanitary manner, Colon may be fit place for white men to live. But until this is done Colon must. from mere force of circum- stances and the railroads long years of neglect. be haunt of peetiiance. ~
 To go from the native quarter of Colon to Cristobal Colon Point is like stepping from hell into garden. although the Point is now in a sad state of detertora- ton. Cristobal Colon Point is a magnifi- cent example of the extravaganza of the French Canal Company during It's flush days. It is wholly artificial. having been constructed as a breakwater to protect the entrance to the waterway. But the French planned to link beauty with util- ity in this instance, and the result Is re- markable product. The Point puts out into Limon Bay for a distance of more than 800 feet. It Is well laid out with ave- nues of cocoanut trees, a superb drainage and waterworks system. both of which have now fallen into disuse and conse- ouent decay. It's foundation is of great concrete blocks. purchased under con- tract by the French Canal Company at cost of $50 (gold) each and dumped down in irregular masses, later to be filled in with sand.

cease its deadly work. for the rainfall- amounting to about 1l0 inches year keeps them constantly replenished, and the growth. of swamp grass is every where abundant. It Is amid such sur roundings that the native population lives. The railroad waterworks has not been extended to this quarter. and the only drinking water available to the peo- pie Is what can be caught during the rainy season and stored in iron tanks.
 Cristobal Colon Point.
 Is 1t any wonder that people die here in countless hordes from the most re- volting and pernicious diseases? One has only to go into this section to appre- ciate the thorough malevolence of these conditions. The small ponies and jack asses that are used here as beasts of bur den stand kneedeep in this morass and browze on the swamp grass. The dogs and pigs that are the constant compan- ions of the children must make their way through the muck or crawl along the narrow boardwalks that edge the places most inappropriately called streets, and 1t is upon the verandas built over this swamp and these black, repulsive pools that the children of the natives must play. The result? A never-ending stench, certain to nauseate. marked by the fumes offal, and swarms of mosquitoes and fieas, that bite and bite until ponies pack-asses, dogs. pigs and monkeys are denuded of hair. It is all unspeakably loathsome. It is condition which can

feet or more out on the beach, This To- cation gives to this section of the city the benefit of the sea breeze which blows constantly from the Caribbean, and which tempers the torrid heat of the day and night. making it possible to live and work with some degree of enjoy ment.
 Over the Line. ~
 But step lover the line"-for every thing outside of the railroad section is termed lover the line"Aand wholly dif- ferent conditions are encountered. And 1t is for the condition of this section, where pestilence breeds apace and death stalks almost unrestrained, that the railroad company Is so largely to blame. Tn all of its half-century of control over this city the railroad mas made practically no effort to improve the native quarter. Every foot of that quarter belongs to the railroad. which exacts ground rent from the owners and occupants of bulld- lngs; but, despite its proprietorship, the railroad has done Title or nothing to minimize the dangers to life and health that turk in every. square foot of, it. Long years ago an attempt was made to grade the streets One or two of the thor oughfares are still in a fair state of preservation. but the major portion of down pour of rain., and the grading has all'been washed away, leaving theDswamp which covers the island to encroach un- restrainedly upon the city.
 The result Is difficult to describe so
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-13

that its exact conditions may be appre- ciated. The buildings fin this quarter are all erected upon plls sunk in the muck and mire of the swamp. Underneath and all about them is a morass, vast ex- panse of black water covered with green scum. Into this swamp goes all of the kitchen garbage and fecal matter from the homes of 5000 natives. not one of whom has any knowledge of modern san itation. In 1t breed the billions of mos quitoes that spread yellow and pernicious levers and the other deadly diseases which go to make Colon a veritable pesthele. In 1t breed. too. .s the innumera- ble thousands of frogs whose croaking goes to make night in Colon hideous.
 For this eection of the city there has been absolutely no attempt at drainage. Neither the city nor the railroad com pany-the latter of which owns 1t alI- have ever attempted the construction of a sewerage system.' nor has any effort been made to i'll 1t in. In consequence every little depression Is a pool of stag nant water. with the inevitable covering of green scum. These pools never have a chance to dry up nor the morass to
