GOETHE AND PANAMA.
Poets Prophecy In 1927 About the
Great Canal.

Poet's Prophecy In 1927 About the
Great Canal.
The Frankfurter Zeitung Of Feb. 20,
1904, in an editorial states that the
Panama Canal treaty has been ratified
in Washington, and that thereby the
legal basis for the construction Of the
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
has been created, and that the great
work can be completed in a compara-
lively short time.
1t is perhaps pertinent, the paper
adds, to recall what Goethe said con-
corning these matters. During a con-
versation with Eckermann in 1897
with reference to Humboldt's travels,
he said:
''This much Is certain: If by n
crosscut of this kind it could be accom-
plished that vessels with all sorts Of
cargoes and Of every size could 60
through such canal from the Gulf Of
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, quite ILL.,
calculable results would follow for the
entire civilized and uncivilized human
race.
IL. however, would be surprised If
the United States would miss the
chance to get such a work into her
hands. 1t Is to be foreseen that this
young State, with its decided tendency
toward the West, will in thirty to
forty years have also taken possession
of, and will have populated, the large
areas of land on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains 1t is Furthermore
to be foreseen that in this entire coast
of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has
already created the most roomy and
safest harbors. in course Of time very
important commercial towns will carry
on a large traffic between China and
the East Indies with the United States.
In such case 1t would not only be
desirable but almost necessary, that
merchant as well as war vessels
should be able to have quicker connec-
ton with the western and eastern
coasts Of America. l therefore repeat
that 1t is entirely Indispensable for
the United States to make a passage
from the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean, and am certain that she will
accomplish it"-Consular Report,
Columbia courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1902-1905, 1904-07-15
SAVED chILD'S LIFB.
A Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy BY Dodd,.
Kidney pills.

sedgw lex. Ark, July 1.-THE csse
OF w. s. Tayler's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith.
er makes the following statement:
Last September, my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on, Tho
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good and two
or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two of the best
in the country TOLD me he would not
get better. l stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. I gave him three pills day.
one morning. noon and night for eight
davs; at the end of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, gave him eleven
more pills. used thirty-fve pills in
all and he was entirely cured. 1 con.
slider your medicine saved my child's
life. When the thirty.five pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid

until night"

CURIOUS INSECT MIMlcS.
Moths that Resemble Leaves and Twigs

Moths that Resemble Leaves and Twigs
on Which They Rest.
Many beautiful examples of mimicry
are to be seen among the moths. The
underlying moth, for instance, so close
ly resembles the lichen-covered bark Of
the tree on which it is in the habit of
resting that 1t Is often difficult for one
to see 1t even when 1t is known to be
there, and the dagger moth is also diff
cult to find at times. A question-mark
butterfly with wings folded looks al
most exactly like part Of the torn or
partly eaten dead leaf on which it may
be resting, and there are other butter
flies in which the deception Is carried
even further Some of the most eX-
IRENE cases are to be seen among the
are best known as "leaf-insects," from
the fact that they look almost exactly
like leaves growing from the branch
on which they have alighted. The
closed wings are to all appearances a
leaf, the same in shape and color as
any Of the leaves about it. A prolonga-
ton of the hind wings touches the
branch and forms the stem, which
adds so much to the deception. A large
midrib or vein runs down the middle,
and from 1t radlates system Of
smaller veins. very much as they do in
a real leaf. Even the imperfectons of
the leaf are mimicked In some cases,
and we find on the wing little spots
which correspond to insect bites, mold
and blights Of various kinds, such as
are frequently seen upon leaves. Our
own common katydid looks so much
like the bright green leaves among
which 1t is feeding that we often pass
1t by unnoticed.
The walking sticks" are group of
Insects which live chiefly on the trees
and bushes, and take their name from
their remarkable protective resem-
blance to the twigs among which they
are found. They are most numerous
in the tropics, but we have one spe-
cies, the common walking stick, in the
United States. This is slender, long
bodied insect which sometimes occurs
in very great numbers In certain for
ests of the Northern States, The
young, most of which are Matched in
the spring, are green, corresponding
in color to the leaves at that season;
but when they are adult, in the fall,
their color has changed to gray or
brown, to correspond more or less with
the foliage. When the leaves have
fallen, they closely resemble the twigs
on which they rest, stretching out their
forelegs straight in front of them to
give the finishing touches to the twig-
like effect.-Woman's Home Campan-
