WORK ON PANAMA CANAL.
8ristow Makes Statement Regarding
ProureSS.

WASHlNGTON-lt is estimated by
the engineers that it will take sixty
work trains a day six years to remove
the earth and rock that must be talk
en- out of Culebra cut. This state
ment, made by Joseph l.. Bristow
gives some idea of the vast amount of
work to be done yet on the Panama
canal. Continuing, he said:
Il am most interested now in the
anama canal. The task the govern
ment has there is immense. The en-
gineers estimate the work can be done
in ten years, and that means fast and
hard work. They are putting in an
additional steam shovel outfit at the
rate of one each month, and using
three of the old digging machines that
the French had there. The soil is
loose, and when there is heavy rain
at night part Of the bank comes down
and often buries part of the machin-
cry as well as cars.
There are about 5000 men working
there now and there will be more as
the work progresses. There is a gen
eral misapprehension in this country
as to the extent of yellow fever in
that country. There is something SEN
sational about dying with yellow fever
that makes many people afraid of the
Panama country. We don't think
anything about pneumonia. Yet a
man going from Panama to New York
in winter time is much more likely
to contract pneumonia and die of it
than a New York man is to catch yell
low fever going to Panama. The
death rate from yellow feevr in Pan
anna is much lower than the death
rate from pneumonia in New York.
"One man who came there to live
was married on Saturday, contracted
yellow fever on Monday and died on
Wednesday. The conditions attracted
special attention to his case and
frightened great many people about
that country. But really the health
conditions there are not bad and the
most serious trouble is that people
get homesick, Most of the laborers
there are Jamaica negroes, but the
men who direct the work are mostly
Americans. The change in conditions
of living makes them uneasy"

A HUNT FOR TOGO
THAT is WHAT RoJEsTVEN5<Y
is SAID TO BE DOING.
HIS SHIPS STEAMING NORTH
An Engagement With the Enemy
Seems to Be Near at Hand-Head
of the Admiralty Gives His Views.

ST. PETERSBURG-Admiral Avel-
Ian. head of the Russian Admiralty
department. confirms the Associated
Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral
Roiestvensky is steaming north to
give battle to Admiral Togo, He con-
siders it possible that news of the two
fleets having met may be received any
day.
In an interview Admiral Avellan af-
firms the official denial of the reports
that Roiestvensky has broken down
and asked to be relieved. Avellan says
Rojestvensky sent detailed reports Of
the condition of his own health and
of the health Of the crews of his ships.
The constant tension and hard work
of the past months have been a great
strain on the admiral's health.
Even before he left" said Avellan,
"Roiestvensky was sufferer from
kidney trouble, but his health is no
worse His reports breathe spirit
of strength and confidence and other
reports show he has inspired his
crews with the confidence of their
commander. AS a matter of fact, it is
not Rojestvensky, but Vice Admiral
Woelkersam who has suffered from
the long stay in the tropics The ar
pointment of Vice Admiral Birileff as
successor to Vice Admiral Skrydloff at
Vladivostok will in no wise affect Ro-
jestvensky's status. The latter's mis-
sion as chief of the fleet is to take it
to Vladivostok. There will be no an
tagonism when he gets there. The
two admirals are on excellent terms,
which began long ago, when Rojest-
vcnsky served under Birileff. Both are
iron disciplinarians and Rojestvensky
will give his superior the same loyal
obedience that he demands of his sub
ordinates."
'Do you anticipate a sea fight
soon?" the admiral was asked. He re-
Piled: Certainly. The Japanese can
not afford to allow Roiestvensky to
reach Vladivostok without an engage
ment. l personally expect it to take
place in the near future, though | adj
nit that the admiralty knows nothing
of Rojestvensky' strategy or plans,
the emperor having accorded hin
complete freedom of action. Possibly
it is his present purpose to seek Ad-
miral Togo and force a fight, out it is
more probable that Rojestvensky is
bound for his base at Vladivostok.
However, I can say nothing definite
on this point"
An admira' of high rank said to
the Associated Press this afternoon.
1--WE have known for some time that
| Rojestvenslly would not attempt 20
pass through the straits of Formosa
where the waters are shallow and
could easily be mined ahead of his
ships. Roiestvensky will undoubtedly
keep far out to sea in order to avoid
torpedo attacks. A side detour VIII
also make it harder for the Japanese
scouts to communicate with TOGO
However, | expect news of a battle

Brinq MESSAGES from Dead.

There is a curious burial custom
among the Mordovinians, who inhabit
the middle Volga provinces of Russia
and are professedly Christians. They
believe that deceased relative forty
days after interment returns to his
old home. Failing his visible return
the next of kin personates him, dress
ed in his clothes, and processes to de-
liver solemn messages from the other
side of the grave.

Bad Memories.

Many people complain of having a
bad memory, as if it were something
they could not help, like a headache,
Or some similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli-
cation of a little common sense. After
all, there is no reason why anybody
should have bad memory. 1t is mere
~ matter Of training and is, more
over, a matter in which it is never too
late to attend to it's training. For
grown-ups many methods are advo-
Gated, all Of them, no doubt, based on
the principle Of mental concentration.
In a young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making the child de-
scribe everything it has seen in its
morning walk, taking care that no fact
is exaggerated, but that strict atten-
ton is paid to truth in every detail.
In the matter of memorizing it is an
excellent plan to let the child learn
one line of poetry a day, which it
should repeat the following morning,
and at the end Of a week it will be
able to say the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
a fragment each day.
