Oil and Water.
From the Boston Globe

From the Boston Glope
Genius has been defined as in infinite ca
pacity for taking pains. An instance of
the infinite labor that scientists are willing
to devote to seemingly trivial matters is the
series Of experiments conducted by Victor
Cremieu and recently described by him be
fore the French Academic des Sciences. M.
Cremieu suspended drops Of olive oil In a
mixture of water and alcohol having the
same density as the oil in thick glass lar.
protected by metal cylinder from heat
radiated by the body OF the observer and
watched them through Sits He found that
the drops would rise slowly. as it was Inn
possible to make the two densities exactly
the same. Theoretically the attraction be-
tween the drops would be balanced by the
pressure Of the surrounding liquid; but he
found that they rose. not In straight lines,
but thin paths curved toward one another,
although four inches apart. These expert
ments were SO difficult 20 carry out without
a hitch that only six observations were
made In two months. But 80 satisfied was
the observer with this result that he has
now begun to study the action of solids sus-
pended in the same way a. the drop Of oil.

African Hospitality.
From the Century.

From the Century.
Hospitality may be considered as one OF
the characteristics Of not only the Veis but
of the whole African race. 1t Is considered
the duty of every citizen to entertain
strangers without the smallest compensa-
ton. Places of rest stand always open.
and when these are found occupied by
strangers a man goes and tells his wife,
who will send her servants with water for
the strangers to wash their feet: for as
they wear no shoes, they naturally need
such accommodations Afterward rooms
and cloth wrappers are given them, food is
brought from all quarters, or they are in
vited to eat with the people. The con-
tinue to be so provided for even IL they

WORK ON THE CANAL
ENGINEER WALLACE TELLS OF
ORGANIZATION FORMED.

CHICAGO, April 25.-Speaking OF the
actual physical work OF building the Pana-
ma canal. Mr.. John F. Wallace, chief en-
gineer Of the Panama commission, said to-
day that an organization had already been
formed. embodying a total of 5000 men.
OF this number practically 5000 men are
engaged in equipment and construction
work and 900 men are engaged In policing
the canal zone and In sanitary work and
in cleaning up the isthmus. This organic
alton will be rapidly increased and has been
increasing at the rate of from 800 to 1000
men a month.
OF the total number of men employed
about 10 per cent are high-class men from
the United States and the rest are mechan-
les, artisans and laborers that lave been
brought from the nearby South American
and Central American coasts and from the
West Indian islands. -.
There is demand for men expert in the
mechanical trades; for Instance, steam
shovel men. draughtsmen. railway track
foremen, enginemen, carpenters skilled in
heavy timber work and in the construction
of dredges and bridges.
In addition to the repair of the residences.
about 2.40O, that were constructed by the
French, eight three-Story hotels are being
constructed at various centers of popula-
ton, the purpose being the accommodation.
principally of the unmarried American men
engaged in the work.
Two of the hotels are completed. Material
has been ordered and arrangements made
for the remaining six. The hotels are pro-
vided with bath room and all modern nee
essary hotel appliances.
MORE -..-,--.-.
Up to date. seven American steam shovels
have been installed and ten more are either
on the isthmus. in course of erection, or
are on the way there. and twenty-four ad-
ditional shovels have been requested.
The Sanitary Department.
The present organization embraces the
sanitary department. which has charge of
the duty not only Of operating the hos
pitfalls and caring for the sick, but OF plan
ming and putting into effect general pre-
ventive sanitary measures such as the
dredging of swamps the destruction Of
mosquitoes. the cleaning of towns and vii
lagos. the PRONUNCIATION and enforcement of
sanitary regulations. That these measures
have been effective is proved by the fact
that less than per cent of the employees
on the canal are on the sick list.
Should 1t be decided to change the canal
to sea level. Mr.. Wallace said 1t had been
estimated that fourteen miles Of summit
cut would be necessary and this would re-
qutre 100 steam shovels, about 800 engines
and train crews. and 1900 dump cars. The
service would necessitate four double track
railways for the removal of the material,
which would have 20 be hauled on an aver
age fifteen miles. Approximately $50 miles
of construction track would be necessary.

REFUSAL OF J. J. HILL TO SERVE
ON COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, April 25.-James J. Hill.
| who was selected by the directors of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society as one
OF the committee to investigate into its
affairs, said today that 1t was not true, as
reported, that he had refused to act with
this committee because of any differences or
| friction with any of Its members. Mr.. Hill
| said that his own affairs took up SO much
| of his time that he had no spare moments
| to devote to other matters.
The Equitable affair, he added, Is a mat
ter Of great Importance. and he felt that
he must decline to serve on the committee
| unless he could participate in a very thor
ough examination of the society's affairs.
He had no doubt, he said. that the commit
tee headed by Mr.. Prick will leave nothing
undone in the examination.
Mr.. Hill said he felt some time ago that
the time might come when the policy hold
ers of the Equitable Society would demand
a thorough investigation. He said also
that as a result of this controversy the
business of life insurance will be put on a
Mr.. Hill sent letter to President Alexan-
der to the effect that he would not be able
to serve on the Prick investigating COM
mittee.

ference with the committee at the Equi-
table office today.

ence. ''Mr. Knox is our counsel" he re-
piled. land it is only natural that we should
want to confer with him and get his adj
vice occasionally. You must excuse me
from discussing the doings of the commit
tee."
Jacob H. Schiff of the banking house OF
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who is director of the
Equitable. was at the offices of the society
today. He has just returned from the west.
Mr.. HIS letter to Mr.. Alexander reads
as follows:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt Of your
favor of the Ith instant. with notice of my
committee charged with the duty to inves-
tigate and report upon the present manage
ment of the society. When my name was
proposed l stated it would not be possible
for me to give the time necessary to OBJ
tain knowledge sufficient to make a report
which would satisfy myself and be of any
value to the committee. 1 now beg to adj
wise you it will be quite impossible for me
to give the time required to serve on the
committee"
The letter was received April 8.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Hills resgna-
ton was accepted by the investigating COM
mittee. but there is no knowledge as to
whether any other name has been agreed
upon as his successor.
