PANAMA CANAL COMPETITOR
Mexico Proposes to Get a share of
the Tramc Across the Neck of
the Continent.

The Panama canal will have competition
In the world Of tomorrow Another route
will make an effort to secure the immense
tonnage passing between the Atlantic and
Pacific The Mexican government. with
the characteristic foresight shown by Pres
ident Diaz, has for number of years been
quietly preparing to meet this problem IN
an effort TO furnish n short and economical
route between the two oceans.
The isthmus Of Tehuantepec is the route
selected by this government. Here the dis
lance from ocean to ocean Is only l25 miles
in a bee line. The land is comparatively
level and the rise on the Atlantic side Is
very gradual, eliminating in the Chivela
pass at a height of $50 feet. From here to
the Pacific the descent is more abrupt. Al
though situated in the tropics. the tropio
heat is mitlgated great deal by the strong
winds which blow constantly from ocean 60
ocean.
This route will greatly facilitate the cont
merce between the two long coast lines or
the republic. But this great undertaking
was not begun for the national trade alone
II is intended to compete for all that traffic
which has heretofore gone around Cape
Horn or across the Panama railroad. The
Tchuantepec route is 200 miles shorter
between New York and San Francisco than
the Panama route. The average freight
steamer would require from four to hve
days to cover this distance. The managers
OF the Tehuantepec National railroad pro-
pose to unload a cargo, carry II across the
isthmus and reload in two days. 1t VIII
probably require only one day for vessel
TO pass through the Panama canal This
would make a saving Of from three TO four
DAYS for the Tehuantepec route. The extra
cost OF loading and unloading would be
made up by the saving OF canal dues and
expenses OF the ship for that period. This
route has been lost sight Of in the enthusi-
asm over the Panama canal. And yet Il
may some day be quite a factor in the COM
merce Of the world.-N, O. Winter In The
World Of Today.

OLD INDIAN PIPES.
Number of Feathers Attached Meant
Enemies That Were Slain.

Agnes c. Laut in June Outing.
1t need scarcely be told that in the
pipes of long ago, each feather appended
to the stem represented an enemy slain.
If one doubted the record of the
war-eagle feathers, the warrior then
showed the scalps of the enemy, which
were kept as a sort of sacred proof of
his word. Such pipes were used only on
occasions of peace and war. Speaking
roughly, the best pipes of eastern tribes
were in moulded clay, the best of the
western tribes in slate pipe stone taken
from the famous quarry west of the
Mississippi Before the great buffalo and
antelope hunts, when herds of game
were driven into a pound or an enclosed
area of snares, it was customary for the
Indians to Whit the incense of propitia-
ton to the spirits of the animals about to
be slain, explaining that only the desire
for food compelled the Indians to kill,
and that the hunt was the will of the
Master of life or master of the Roaring
Winds" who would compensate the ami
mails in the next world. The pipes used
for this ceremony usually show the fig
ure of a man In conference with the fig
ure of an animal Others show the figure
OF Indians with locked hands. This typi-
fies a vow of friendship to be terminated
only by death.
1t was usually pet"Seh iiVit p"e 9""N
times between a man and woman, in
which case the Platonic bond not only
precluded but forbade the very possi-
bility of marriage After that who shall
say that the stolid Indian has no vein
of sentiment in his nature?
One of the most curious pipes I have
seen bought from Creek on reserva-
ton east of the refugee Sioux. 1t Is
in the shape of a war Ratchet, of a
metal which l do not know, though l
suspect it is galena mixed with clay, the
edge being sharp enough. but the back OF
the axe being a bowl and the handle
