Panama's City Water Supply.

1t is provided in the treaty between
the United States and Panama that the
United States shall furnish water sup
ply to the cities of Panama and Colon.
This will be a boon to the present in
habitants and to outsiders who have
been accustomed to pure water and
may settle on the isthmuS. The urgen-
cy of the case at Panama city is pre-
sented in a recent report from United
States Consul General Gudger at pana.
ma city, who says:
The people of Panama depend for their
water supply on % tanks, cisterns or
other means of catching and preserving
rain from the roofs of houses CO wells in
the "patios." or yards, and CD purchases
from vendors. The rainy season lasts
generally eight months ending Dec. /.
The small number of those VINO are for
tunate enough to have large tanks or
Cisterns get a sufficient supply of water
to answer all purposes. Many of the
houses have no tanks and the occupants
must buy water or get 1t from wells to
keep in barrels, tubs. etc. A large num-
ber of cart men sell water in the city.
charging cents for five gallons and dur
ing the dry season 10 cents. The tanks,
Barrels. tubs, cans, etc, used in preserV-
ing water are. as a rule open and form
favorite places for breeding mosquitoes.
The United States authorities have
selected the Rio Glande as the source
of supply for Panama city. This stream
is located in the canal zone ten miles
from Panama on the route of the canal.
Tests show that in the driest weather
it can be relied upon for 30O0,0OO gal
Ions daily and that 50o,00o,O0O gallons
can be stored, double the quantity re-
quired by the present population.

This artificial limb business is get
ting to be something wonderful" said
Cleveland man. when Il man can
wiggle the fingers of an artificial hand
it is uncanny. Practical jokes of terri
bic effect are possible with the artificial
limb, and the victim is such in the true
sense of the word. l saw man in
Denver about three weeks ago who
walked up to the hotel clerk and III a
friendly way reached across the coun-
ter to shake hands. Then he wheeled
away and left his hand in the grip of
the clerk. The clerk Enthusiastically
tainted, although he realized, believe,
that the hand he held was but an arti

devised scheme by which he might
throw 1t off by pressing II spring. The
delight he took in the joke ceased when
the victim collapsed."-Milwaukee Sen

was at Mukden. Grant ordered an cX-
tensive flank movement. headed by
Sheridan's corps, to bc made against
Lees right on March 29. 1865. Lee
knew that Sheridan had lpen brought
from the Shenandoah valley TO his
front at Petersburg for some special
purpose and readily saw through his
opponents game. During the night of
March 2I-25 he made lunge with John
B. GordOn'S corps against Grants cen
ter, which, if successful. would have
cut Grant off from his base ana foiled
the Sheridan movement Gordon failed.
and Lee hastily gathered an independ-
ent force of infantry ami cavalry and
sent it out to cope with Sheridan As
this. too, failed and Grant had a pre-
pOnderance in numbers, Lee evacuated
Petersburg.
On another important occasion Lee
successfully met and oyCrcamc
heavy flank movement This was at
charlottesville where General Joe
Hooker attempted To flank the Confcd
crates on the heights ut Frolcricks-
burg. As a cover to his flank march
Hooker sent a column forward, under
General SedgWiCk, to feign an attack
upon Lees main position Lee, how
ever, was wary and detached from in
front of Sedgwick the bulk of his force,
committing what military men look
upon as Il monumental blundcr in that
he divided his army in the presence of
Il powerful foe. Lees detached force,
led by Stonewall Jackson. marched
rapidly beyond the flank Of Hooker'5
fianking column, then turned and
smashed It completely. Meanwhile
Sedgwick attacked Lees main front
in earnest and captured the very posi-
ton coveted by Hooker. But Lee, hav-
ing disposed Of Hooker off on the
flank, turned back and hurled Seig-
wick from his captured works. Flank
ing is Il game that two can play, and
for Hooker it was a clear case of
"host with his own petard."
To outside observers KmOpatkn had
the best of the situation at Mukden.
Having a double line of defense, he
was prepared to concentrate his force
on the inner line and form an indie
pendent column to meet the Japanese
flank movement by heavy counter
attack on Oyama's center or by at
tackng the flanking force while it was
on the march. y good general with
good army in KuropatSin's shoes
would have asked for nothing better
than that Oyama should attempt to
surround him or flank him at Mukden.
