BY. Associated Press.

washington MAY 15.-The eXecu-
tive committee of the Isthmian Canal
Commission To-Day decided to pur-
chase in the markets of the world ma
terials and. supplies necessary for
building the Panama canal
This important decision was reach
ed with some reluctance because it
was appreciated by Secretary Taft
and the executive committee that
there would be a great outcry from
two great interests in this country.

ers, If purchases were not limited TO
American products, but it was olecid-
ed that the money consideration was
so great 1t could not be ignored, for it
was held that in some cases fully fifty
per cent more would be charged here
for material needed in canal construc-
ton than the same goods could be
procured for in Europe.
Two more ships will be needed to
carry the supplies from New York,
according to Chief Engineer Wallace.
No American ships can be bought at
any reasonable price and as to build

while he could buy two six thousand

goods TO the commission.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged TO endorse this decision
because, having given congress every
opportunity to give contrary direc-
lions, he felt the very terms OF the
canal act provided that it should be
built at the lowest cost.

Do Animals DreamG

Much research and investigation war
rant the assertion that man is not the
only animal subject to dreams. Horses
neigh and rear upon their hind feet
while fast asleep; dogs bark and growl
and in many other ways exhibit ali
their characteristic passions. 1t is
highly probable that at such times the
remembrance Of the chase or of COM
bat is passing through the dogs minds.
Besides the above signs of ffeeting
pain, anger and excitement these no
BILE creatures often manifest signs Of
kindness, playfulness and of almost
every other passion. Ruminant ami
mails, such as the sheep and the COW,
are believed to be less affected with
dreams than those of higher passions
which spend their waking hours in
scenes of greater excitement.
Philosophers and investigators tell
us that if we trace the dream faculty
still lower in the scale of animal life
we shall probably find that the same
phenomena exist and judging from
analogy it is only reasonable to reck-
on dreaming as one of the universal
laws-slmost as universal as sleep it
self.

Hornets as Fly KILLERS.

Hornets. or white faced Wasps,
have no evil traits or obnoxious fea-
lures. It is true that they will some
times sting, but this is only when they
are attacked in their own homes or
think their young are in danger. The
great value of these insects Is that they
live entirely upon insects, mostly flies,
and. in fact, when they are near dwell
ings their food is generally the COM
mon horsefy. They are natures great
est factors in reducing this serious
pest. 1t is well known that flies carry
disease germs, such as those of ty-
nhoid fever, and it can thus be seen
that hornets have decidedly sanitary
effect as a result of their desirable in
sectivorous habits.--Field and Stream.

The Georgia Interstate Sawmin As

on March 3rd in Tallahassee to protest
against the recent advance Of freight
rates from all interior Florida points
to Florida ports. The lumbermen
claim that the class OF timber in Flor

produces so large a percentage OF
small sizes of lumber, which brings
such a low price. that they (the lum
bermen) cannot afford TO manufacture
it.
The operators" remarked a lead

Metropolis reporter, ARE now leaving
this class of trees in the woods, and
it means a very large advance II

the timber on the land.

The Oak.

England won her supremacy on the
seas with her ships of British oak, a
wood that is renowned for strength
and durability. When the spanish ar
mazda set sail for England its com
mander had express orders from the
king Of Spain to burn or otherwise de-
stroy every oak in the forest of Dean,
then the great source Of shipbuilding
supplies. But, as blunt old Drake
prophesied, Philips beard was siDged
instead. Admiral Nelson declared that
without heart of oak" the British
navy and empire would soon come to
an end.
The oak is beautiful at all seasons.
From the time it opens its delicate
green buds, close pressed in their resin
Gus overcoat, and emerging fame tip
ped with bronze or crimson, until they
come again an acorn bearing spray is
most artistic, and the rudy hue Of the
tree in autumn combines well in ma
lures color scheme.
