Canal Mysteries

The difficulties Of building the
Panama canal are now being re-
hearsed and a tone of dependency
characterizes many articles on the
subject. The government is upbraid-
ed for not taking the Nicarauguan
route instead, as if we should not
have had to 60 through the same

that cause many to faulter.
There is nothing new in the
canal situation that engineers of
ability have not known all along for
years. The work is difficult one
but money and time will make the
canal. After we have gotten over
our characteristic hysterias we will

him to point out "Noos' alley to me. My
companion made no reply, but watched
me closely as we travelled down in the
elevator When we reached the street
he turned his head aside and drew his
hand across his eyes. I investigated,
and saw tears yelling up in the black
eyes. tears the lad endeavored to hide.
What was wrong? Did he think he had
lost the quarter? Did he fear he was
going to be late at the alley? Quickly
handed him the quarter and babe him
hurry on, assuring him | could find the
place myself. He started ahead rapidly
as soon as permission was granted, but
second thought must have convinced
him he was owing me guidance, for pres
emily he slowed up and for blocks kept
just little ahead, turning constantly
to see that was not going astray When
we reached the alley, he jerked his ell
bow in it's direction and called hoarse:
Here" He evidently did not try to get
something for nothing.
1t seems to me, according to their
ly. Many time have seen very busy
newsboy patiently stop to give street
direction to bewildered stranger, talk
ing the chances of losing sale.
The urchin with whom held the long
conversation told me 'some guys got a
home, but don't want to go there; stay
out. sleep round the 'Murikin.'" Iwon-
dered if this was excess of business zeal,
desire to be early on the spot, or if the
welcome at home was of such charac-
ter one would prefer the uncertain shell
ter of the street.
A pleasanter piece of knowledge
learned was concerning the Christmas
harvest. My small friend remarked
that Christmas day he made three dol
lars. "One mans give one dollar. one
mans quarter, in one day, three dol
lars" The newsboy babies must wish
it were Christmas every day in the year.

Cause of Japan's Success.

One could find another cause OF Jap
anese success, if the analytical probe is
to be struck and the mystic impulse
which gives men resolution for supreme
sacrifice ignored. This great cause may.
be called originality. The record of SUI
perficial observers Of her recent advance
is that Japan to-day selflshly and slav
ishly reaps the values wrung from time
and chance through many centuries by
other nations. If this be true, she is
original enough to survive the ordeal of
imitation. Had a single person shown
the qualities displayed at Port Arthur he
would be charged with having the au-
dacity of genius. This audacity did not
hesitate to make use of anything, new or
old. possible or impossible, conventional
or unconventional, which might win sue
cess from desperate conditions.-Cen-
