Yellow Fever at Panama.

The engineering difficulties. together
with waste and corruption. were the
main obstacles which baff1ed the
French in the attempt to dig a canal
across Panama. The greatest obstacle
which the Americans seem likely to en-
counter is the yellow fever. While this
dreaded and battling scourge of the
tropics has not yet made serious
ravages among the canal builders. the
appearance of a few Gates has caused
general hegira Of officials. engineers
and clerks which lacks but little Of
reaching the proportions Of panic.
Although the return of Chief Engineer
Wallace is asserted to be due in no
degree of fear Of IN. fever yet many
who have returned frankly confess that
it was this fear which has driven them
back to a cooler and safer climate.
Yellow fever is something that medi-
cal science has yet to master. The I'M
acclimated visitor to troric lands Of
gorgeous and deceitful beauty meets
many dangers, but the jungles and
swamps have nothing more deadly than
the yellow fever germ. Even among
the natives the disease is generally
fatal, but to strangers il il almost GER

are not proof against is ravages. The
striking popularity of the yellow fever
epidemics that ravaged the Southern
cities of the United States during the
last century. and until rigid federal
quarantine kept them out, was that the

The People Of Russia.

The population Of Russia has been n
matter almost as much disputed as that
OF China which a distinguished Ameri-
can traveller now declares to be not
more than half of the 400. 000. 900 given
in the books OF reference. The Rus
sian government has just completed n
census, however, and its figures must
be accepted at their face value. Since
the war began the statement has been
generally circulated that all but TO-
OOO, OGO Of the Cars subjects were 'con-
quered races" but this census shows
that the purely Russian population Of
the empire is $4,000. 400 out of a total CT
about 125,O0O.O00. More interesting
than even the distribution of the races
in this huge Babylonia ia the distribu-
ton Of the classes. There are 96.914.-
GA peasants, 13. 5s6.392 burghers, 1.220.-
1863 hereditary noblemen. 63o.119 per-
sonal noblemen and officials. 5SS.4S7
ecclesiastics, 342,927 hereditary and
chants and 6G5.5SO foreigners.
If the old contention is true that all
wealth comes from the farm, every
seven peasants in Russia carry I
townsman on their backs. One man in
every 100 Is a nobleman, one in every
so either a nobleman, official or holder
OF some honorary title. one in every 200
an ecclesiastic, one in every 500 mer-
chant There is. indeed. a healthy
number Of noblemen in the Cars do
main. In a certain set in America
title is considered a fair equivalent to a
wedding portion of a million dollars.
There are at least 100000 able bodied
noblemen in Russia, and only about
1000 millionaires in this country. Their
daughters would be but drop in the
bucket to this contingent of eligible
title bearers, who thus have a potential
asset value to their country of two
hundred billions. or twice the total
wealth of the United States.
A recent magazine article has col
lection of Russian types" showing the
costumes, physiognomy and to an ex-
tent the social customs Of the different
races that inhabit the empire. The
story these photographs tell is the story
told by the census-a population as
cosmopolitan as that Of America and
spread over an area twice as large. 1t
includes 46 different races. Of which
the following have more than million
members: Russians. S3.933.567; Poles.
