THE GREAT DITCH

A member OF Congress has said that
the Panama Canal will be compile ted: in
1912, but John Findley Wallace, the man
who is to have active superintendent
of the construction of the canal, will
make no prediction as to the date of the
completion of the work and will hazard
no estimate of the actual cost of the
enterprise. He does not care ANYTHING
about what effect promises of speedy
completion Of the project might have
on political fortunes or stock investments.
'lf it were question OF removing dirt
or blasting rock or doing masonry work"
said Mr.. Wallace, 81 could furnish an es.
innate of time and cost of construction
by alittle figuring, but must first know
how many muscular ohms the workmen
we will have on the canal exerts in day
as compared with what husky Irish lab
orer does in this country. 1t is necessary
TO know how much a team will stand, how
many hours men can work and with what
energy. No intelligent estimate of the
time to build the canal can be made until
we have made the start. can only make
one prediction, and that is that the Unit
ed States will build it more promptly,
better aud with less waste of money than
any other nation in the world possibly
could. We will do our best, and, you
know, the American best is whole lot
better than any one else's best"

HOUSE FLY is A MENACE TO HEALTH

Although it is not generally appreciat-
ed, it is fact that the common house fly
is one of the most active agents in the
spread OF typhoid fever and other contag-
ious diseases. The following extract from
an arcticlei sanitation may be of value:
The common house fly has shown to pos
sess habits fraught with great danger to
health and life. Recent experiments
show that beyond reasonable doubt it is
frequently the direct means of conveying
the typheid germ from open cesspools to
arcticles of food to which it may have
access. The results of the investigation
of the United States army medical COM
mission into causes of typhoid in military
camps during the Spanish-American war
demonstrated the possibilities of evil pos
sessed by these insects. Their reports
says:
"Flies were undoubtedly the most ac-
tive agents in the spread of typhoid fever.
Flies alternately visited and fed on the
infected matter and the food in the mess
tents. More than once it happened that
when lime was scattered over the infect
ed matter in the pit flies with their feet
covered with lime were seen walking
over the food. Typhoid fever was much |
less frequent among messes who had |
their tents screened than it was among
those who took no such precautions. "
In these days of cheap screens for doors
and windows there is no occasion for anv
house being infested with flies.

WHAT DID THE woGGLEBUG SAY,

Who is the Wogglebug? The Woggle-
bug is 1T, with big and big T. He
is also T. E., which, being translated into
United States, means Thoroughly Educat-
ed. He has all the learning of the ages
packed away in the smallest noddle you
ever saw. He looks like his pictures
just as wise; and he gained his wisdom
by living in a school house-crawled
through the books and absorbed all they
had in them.
The Wogglebug come from Oz-a mys-
terious land beyond the planets. He is
to visit the United States. He is accom-
panied by several companions. One is
the Scarecrow, found in field in the land
of Or. Though filled with life, he is
stuffed with straw and has no brains.
Another companion is the Tin Woodman,
made of things from tinsmith's shop.
He has no heart. Then there is Jack
Pumpkinhead, made by boy named
Tip. He was made to scare a witch.
The witch sprinkled the powder of life on
him and made him walk and talk. Tip
stole the powder of life, sprinkled it on a
Sawhorse, and the Sawhorse cantered
away with Jack on his back. Then all
all of the Ozites came across the Gump.
The Gump is two high-backed sofas LASH
ed together with stuffed deer's head
and palm leaf fans for wings. The Gump
is the vehicle OH which the Wogglebug,
the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Jack
Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse have
come to the United States.
The visitors from Or will go to all parts
of the United States and see all there is
to be seen. The Wogglebug. wisest of in
sects, is the guide of the party, and the
questions that puzzle the visitors he is
always prepared to answer. All the de-
ings of the visitors will be chronicled in
The Sunday North American. Il
The Wogglebug's answers are not told,
but are left for the readers ingenuity. |
Those who solve them will be entitled to |
$500 in cash each month. The North |

contain the first pictured story of the do
ings of the people from Or.

Col. Biddle, one of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, has just re-
turned from an outing in the canal zone
of Panama. He was delighted to find
that the mercury in the zone never got
above so degrees, while it is frequently as
high as 9S in Washington. He hunted
in vain for mosquitoes, and he found that
when it rained all he needed was an ordi-
nary So umbrella. He says Colon is a
pleasant place to live in; that fthe health
of the people is very good mo yellow
fever, no smallpox, no typhoid fever, no
diptheria; hardly anything Of that nature
worth mentioning. Work on the canal is
getting on Every nicely" Experts think
that not more than 10000 men can be
profitable at any one time on the work;
that they should contract to remain two
years; that under favorable circumstances
it will take eight years to build the canal.
unless an epidemic should occur, or 'un-
foreseen difficulties "crop up" or there
should be a chance in public sentiment
in the United States. ii none of these
things happen, and the South is willing
to spare enough colored men to do the
work, Col. Biddle is very sanguine that
the canal will be speedily built.
