1t is not surprising from the quality of brick manufactured. They look as if they would crumble away with the first heavy rain, and are turned out through a crude native process. The walls are usually very thick. and more or less damp during the wet sea-
 son. due, so it Is said, to the salt in their material. In the so-called newer part of the city, the majority of
 the buildings are wooden shacks, some of them hardly even worthy of this name. None of them are connected with sewers, and few have any Sani-
 tary facilities whatsoever.
 The early settlers of Panama con- structed of stone some underground channels for carrying off the storm water. These latter were utilized as
 sewers. by connecting laterals also constructed of stone and of square
 shape. with the largest of these sub terranean conduits. In those streets that did not have these conduits. prop erty owners have built stone sewers to the beach. or to the nearest conduit. selecting the shortest route. In this way nearly all the houses in the old part of the city are connected with such sewers. The construction of these sewers Is poor. both contents and
 gases frequently escaping into the sur 1uElllS tilS OIy SSdSOn when no water can be obtained for flushing these drains become a menace to public health. and have unQuestion- ably laid the foundation for many an
 epidemic.
 The temperature in Panama City re- mains about the same the year around, the thermometer usually registering
 between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the first of June. the warmest q -I-.- Nn-
 grees. There are but two seasons, the
 wet and the dry. The dry season lasts through January, February. March and
 April. and is locally known as sum
 mer. The rainy season occupies tho rest of the year. but the rains are far less frequent than is usually the case in Alabama during the winter and spring months. August Is supposed to be the rainiest month of the year, but up to date there have been but two heavy showers. The nights are inva-
 Eiably cool. summer and winter. and
 out at Ancon blankets are much in ev-
 idence. But for the humidity. the cli-
 mate of Panama would be a most de-
 lightful one. The afr, however, is aI-
 ways moist during the winter season.
 and ones clothes upon arising In the
 morning, unless well protected will appear as if they had been in a rain.
 It is rapidly being proved beyond
 doubt that the excessive humidity can
 be in measure reduced. When the
 Americans took possession of Ancon.
 the grounds thereabout were almost Il
 jungle. Since the machete has done
 its work. and acres of the dank vege-
 tation has been cleared away. the air
 has become far less humid. If this
 work is carried forward in a wholesale
 manner in the vicinity of Panama, IL is
 reasonable to predict that the humidity

Ancon, Canal Zone, Aug. 10.-Thc Sacking and destruction of Old Pana- ma. or Panama viejo. as it Is known locally, by the buccaneer Morgan and his crew of sea-rovers in the year 1871, forced the survivors of that ill-fated place to hunt a new site. This was found in the little peninsula, about three miles by land to the westward. upon which the present city of Pana- ma is partially located. People often refer to Balboa as the founder of Old Panama, but the honor properly be- longs to Pedrarias. It was not even here that the old discoverer first saw .the waters of the Pacific, but at a point more to the eastward. probably mot far from the present city. It is also certain that Balboa could not at first have recognized the magnitude of his discovery for the Panaman coast ct this point is deeply indented. and the mouth of the bay Is ninety miles dts- hant.
 Even in the terror and despair Of lthe moment. the survivors of the old lefty must have had in mind some thought of sanitary conditions when they fixed upon the location of their new capital, for on the eastern side khe ground is low. and two miles away ko the westward, near to La Boca, the mouth of the canal. are some or the worst swamps in this section. The natural drainage of Panama City Is

excellent, and the construction of sew CTS. according to experts now on the ground. will not be difacult task.
 The area of the peninsula proper ia about 250 acres. and when the city was esta blished. a wall was built on all sides of the town exposed to the sea. A moat and wall was constructed across the base of the peninsula, and thus an artificial island was formed which could easily be protected from invasion.
 This limitation of available space caused great overcrowding of build ings, with the result that the streets are very narrow and crooked. Side walks were put down without any att tention having been paid to grade. and with the exception of a few instances. 1t Is a trick for two persons to walk abreast without coming into contact. This makes walking on Q busy street a very difficult matter. but everybody seems to take 1t cheerfully enough. and hopp off and on the pavement as the occasion requires very accommodate ingly. Much walking is done in the streets, but as all streets that are paved at all, are paved with cobble stone of all sizes. and stick out of the ground at all heights, 1t is notacom- fortable mode of progress to persons with thin-soled shoes.
 The patio, or court Is regarded as essential to all well-ordered houses in
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-21

cities, but the limited area of the peninsula has made theso inner courts something of Q rarity in Panama, and even when found are much smaller than Is the case in oth- CT cities of tropical America. In all the city. excepting the outskirts. there are not more than two, or three door yards. The Presidents palace Is with ont one, yet the Secretary of State has Q very pretty front yard. At least 95 per cent of the buildings abut direct- ly on the sidewalk, the ground floor being invariably occupied by the poor CT classes. or as stores, and the second and the third floors by the better class Of people. There is but little distinc- ton between the business and resi- dence sections of the town. but all as a rule are punched in together.
 As Panama began to grow, and the fear of a repetition of buccaneering visits lessened, the moat and wall across the base of the peninsula was allowed to crumble away. until now but few remains of these old fortifica- ttons exist, houses having since been erected on the site of the old wall in many places. Old citizens. however, still refer to the area beyond the loca- tion of this ancient boundary as "out- side"
 The area of the present limits of the city may be summed up as follows: Total area of Panama City 674h acres Area of old section .... 250 acres Total area of streets .... 39 acres Covered by structures and
 yards. .... 691 acres Area of squares and parks 2M acres Space unoccupied by
 dwellings, .... AZ acres Average width of streets. 35 feet
 The buildings of the city are largely constructed of mixture of large bricks. small bricks. irregularly shap- ed stones. corral, and a porous rock obtained from the beach, having a greenish color. It Is a mystery to a modern contractor how this assortment holds together SO well, but the fact re- mains that there are many houses of two and three stories in heighth that bear the weight of a hundred years and more, and are still in fairly good condition. In houses now building, one will see a tier of rock, following a three or four tiers of thin bricks, and likely as not next tier or so of rubble stone, all of course thoroughly cemented in mortar. This is the com position of most of the buildings.
 No all brick houses are put up, and

Atlantic side will rank in the first
 class among the rainy cities of the world. day passinS there without a
 shower is a rarity. In the highlands
 of the republic the climate Is salubri-
 ous and healthful. especially around David in the westerly part. This Is
 also the month Of chills and levers. and the quinine trade is booming. Of the Americans who have come to the Isthmus since the transfer of in- terests, the Southern contingent are enjoying life the best The sudden change from the cooler climate of the Northern States to the tropical air of this region has proven a little too much for many of the Northerners. and the hospital has them in charge. On the other hand at the present time not a Southerner is under a doctors care It is becoming more and more evident that much of the talent of the canal will eventually be drawn from the South.
 This week witnessed the first return home of Americans having positions under the Canal Commission. Four left on today's boat. going back to their homes in the North. There is no desire on the part of the canal government tO keep any one uOWu nere against their will, and in some of the present instances free transportation back home was furnished. The boys had only been down here six. or eight weeks. but they become possessed of a longing
 for the flesh pots of Egypt, which they could not overcome.
 Ancon City bids fair to become an
 important place on, Uncle Sam's con-
 stantly enlarging map. In fact 1t may yet rival Panama as a capital. It is al-
 ready a fair-sized place constituting
 the legacy from the French. and plans now under way will add to 1t greatly. It has practically been decided to erect a new Administration Building, the present one being in the heart of the city of Panama, and undesirable on that account, which will accommodate the various departments of the canal organization. and be better equipped than the one now in use. The Cover
 nor's house is now nearly completed. Paymaster Tobey has plans made for
 an elegant home and other residences for canal officials will follow in due course. The material will shortly be ordered to equip an American laundry
