lombta has lost her sovereignty over Pam
anna. and is therefore unable to fulfill her
obligations to the Panama Canal Company,
and although acknowledging this situation
colombia seems desirous that the Panama
Canal Company shall fulfill It's obligations
to the Bogota government and decline to
sell the canal property without the ex-
pressed consent of Colombia.
II, as the newspapers report, Colombia
has advanced this contention, it is, on the
race OF 1t, ridiculous, just as 1t is ridicu-
lous for Colombia to request enforcement
of it's defunct contract with the Panama
Canal Company by the French courts when
this contract expressly provides that the
to which difficulties arising between Co
lumbia and the company shall be sub
mitted. But however irrational such a
law might be, If it exists, it will probably
be advisable to apply some judicial anti
septic precautions before the final steps
are taken. But this is question for the
lawyers.
Probably Months Delay.

government in investing this sum adopt the

vides that certain securities of the first or

all savings banks funds. The government
has not yet made its decision on this point.
Now that ratifications have been ex-
changed. the fiscal agents of the Panama
republic, j. Pierpont Morgan Co.. will,
either directly with the government or
with a fiscal commission which may

for the investment of the money.

BABgogK LEADS AGAIN
Cowherd Of Missouri Mentioned as
Democratic Chairman-No Cam
paign Material Yet Made.

Members of the House OF Representa- atives
in both parties are beginning to concern
themselves with the forthcoming campaign
for Congress. OF course all OF them have
been busy for weeks with the question, a
great and burning question to them. of their
denomination, as district conventions will
be held throughout the country In March.

Those who have their affairs buttoned up,
so far as their denomination ts concerned.
are looking further ahead to the work of
the campaign. State delegations will soon
caucus for the selection of members of the
two congressional campaign committees,
which will be organized during next month,
and their chairmen chosen.
Babcock to Be Chairman Again.
The republicans will again draft Repre-
sentative Babcock for their chairman, al
though much against his own personal in
clination. He has won five successive con-
gressional campaigns, and Is regarded by
his colleagues as far and away the best
posted man in political life on the details
OF campaign work of that character. MIR.
Babcocks disinclination to serve arises
from the fact that he has just gone
through bitter factional fight in Wiscon-

sclousness Of having completely crushed
and demolished his opponents, but some

licitation of his colleagues
MI. Babcock's name is frequently men,
TONED in connection with the chafrmansh
of the national committee, but his friends
are not urging him. realizing that the first
suggestion should come from the White
House.
Cowherd May Lead Democrats.
Representative Cowherd of Missouri is be-
ing talked of for chairman of the demo-
cratic congressional COMMITTEES. He is
young. aggressive and q skilled. politician.
He has had service in the House OF suffi-
cient length. his friends say. to FiIa him the
necessary acquaintance with fir political
conditions of the several sectio<s of the
country, and his election as chairman would
be highly acceptable TO great many of his
colleagues. =;
No Campaign Material Yet.
Thus far neither party has prepared any
campaign material 1t will be q late cam
paign, 1t is said, and consequently a swift
one. Comparatively few general political
speeches have been made thus far, but dur
ing the month of March. as the appropria-
ton bills come in, with their latitude of de-
bate, the campaign capital makers will get
down to hard work. =

The use of perfume as disinfectant
is we'll known, and the scented
dandy" has perhaps more hygienic
wisdom thar his detracto:s give him
credit for. II is he who Is trying to
revive the use of the perfumed foun'
tain ring, an article de luxe which
may either be used as an ornament
or as a means Of a pleasant disinfect'
ant in stuffy underground trains or in
insalubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one
fitted with ball at the back. II is
filed by pressing the ball nearly fiat,
and dipping the ring into cup OF
scent, when the elasticity of the ball
draws the perfume into the interior
till quite full. by the least pressure
the wearer of the ring can cause a
jet of scent to shed its refreshing
aroma any moment he pleases. and he
may thus act as a benefactor or a
nuisance to those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be
used as another pleasant method OF
disinfecting a room. A ball of spongy
platinum is placed over the center OF
the wick. and is fixed in its position
by a thin glass rod, which Is inserted
into the wick. The lamp is then filled
with any scerted spirit. and when
lighted is allowed to burn until the
platinum gets red hot. The flame is
then blown out. and a pleasant odor
fills the atmosphere.

Chemists are always inclined to
show scepticism when they hear OF
waters that communicate magnetic
properties to steel objects plunged
into them, and strenuously combat any
suck idea. According to the Leighton
photographer at Chicago. however,
there are In the state Of Indiana three
springs which magnetic needles,
blades Of knives, etc. The first is at
Cartersburg Springs, the second pro-
ceeds from a bored we'll at Lebanon,
and the third from a bored we'll at
Fort Wayne. These waters contain a
large proportion of carbonic acid,
which escapes on exposure to the air
AS the gas escapes heavy precipitate
Of oxide of magnetic iron is formed
and when all the gas has disappeared
no magnetic property any longer is
maintained.-London Tit-Bits.
