Is 100000. A generation more, at
the present rate OF increase, and If
will be 120,000,000 or 100000. A
century hence, it will be 500,000,0 900.
The children of some of us, anyway
our grandchildren, will live to see that
date. Will the United States then be
able to sustain such population? No,
nor half that number, even with every
arabic acre cultivated according to
present methods. 1t is estimated that
with every such acre cultivated after
the present manner, the country could
produce only enough to sustain 144,.
100000 people. What about the re-
naming 356,O00.000 souls Of which our
children or grandchildren will be a
part?
Do we ever stop to think that the
matter for organizing rural settlement
throughout the United States-of
Building the Unfinished Republic" If
you please-is not merely a matter Of
increasing material prosperity, or even
a matter of making homes for the
homeless, but something which is alb

daughters of Yung Kwai, a Chinaman
who acts as interpreter at the Legation
whose wife is an American formerly
living in Springfield, Mass.
The daughter of the Minister is
known even to her intimate friends
as Miss Liang. Like other Celestial
women of high station she has given
name but the Chinese are very for
NAL people and the Minister'S daughter
is seldom addressed by her first
name even by her father. Minister
Liang's two sons who now speak Eng
lish almost as fluently as their father
adopted American dress from the day
they took up their residence in Wash
ington but the daughter of the Envoy
still clings to her native dress con-
sisting OF loose blouse and trousers.
Chinese fashions have not changed
in centuries but Miss Liang's costumes
are made by Chinese tailor connect
ed with the Legation. Her costumes
are of the richest silks and satins,
black and white being her favorite
colors. The quaint Chinese shoes that
she wears cause this young lady to
walk in what appears to American
eyes, a rather awkward fashion but
such as have prevented some Of her
predecessors at the Chinese Legation
from walking without assistance.
Young Chilean Ladies'.
Two young people who have made
many American friends during long
term of residence in the United States
are the daughters Of Senior Don Joa-
quin Walker-Martinez, the Minister
from Chilli. These young ladies have
been living under the Stars and
Stripes for nearly five years and have
attended American schools. They
have the clear. olive complexion, dark
hair and eyes and rich coloring typi-
cal of the Latin Races.
AS has been mentioned above there
are many young people in the house
holds of the ENJOYS from South and
Central America and the West Indies.
At the Legation of Haiti, are the
Misses Bourke, popular young rela-
tives of Minister Leger, who by the
way is one of the veteran diplomats
at Washington, having resided in this
country continuously for ten years. ]

GREAT CULEBRA CUT.
Biggest Piece of Digging Ever Under
taken-A Huge Mexican Drainage
Cut.

The huge excavations for the Pana.
ma Canal across the Culebra divide
will be by far the greatest furrow in
| the earth's surface ever made by
human agency. This statement is made
| by the Engineering News, in q COM
prehensive discussion of the great
excavation projects of the world. The
big Panama cut is SO large that the
mind fails to grasp it's real magnitude,
and it can only be appreciated by
comparison with some familiar object.
A question of considerable interest re-
Gently raised by a correspondent re-
lates to the largest existing artificial
excavation which is at all comparable
with the Culebra cut. Great amounts
OF excavation were done, OF course,
on such works as the North Sea Canal,
the Manchester Canal and the Suez
Canal; but all these were built through
comparatively level country.
So far as it has been able to dis
cover, the only deep cut at all COM
parable with that to be made through
the Cuelbra divide is the great Nochi-
stongo cut through the hills which
surround the Valley of Mexico. This
huge excavation was begun in 1910,
to the flood waters which had mum
dated the City of Mexico and destroyed
great part of the city and it's in
habitants. For more than a hundred
and forty years labor on this great
work was the chief task Of the Mex
lean nation, and 1t was not until the
year 1889 that it was finally completed.
The total length Of the Nochistongo
sc fxpa nj hoI Tko
greatest depth is 1877 feet, and it's great
est width is 361 feet. The total amount
OF material excavated was about 54,-
100000 cubic yards. In comparison
with this the cut at Culebra will have
"a considerably greater maximum
depth and width, even for the project
with the eighty-five-foot summit level.
The total cube Of excavation at the
Culebra divide was estimated by En-
gineer Wallace as 1S6,000,000 cubic
yards for the sea-level canal and ILL.,
100000 cubic yards for canal with
a sixty-fOot summit level.
While in mere size Of excavation
the cut through the Panama divide is
by far the larger, the fact that the
Nochistongo cut was made with abso-
lutely no aid from machinery or me-
chanlcal power, but wholly with hui
man muscle, makes our task on the
isthmus seem like mere child's play
in comparison with that accomplished
by those patient toilers under the tor
rid sun Of Mexico two centuries ago.
When one recalls that this deep, arti-
fetal valley, more than twelve miles
long, was all dug by the labor Of In
dams, who excavated the material
with the crudest hand tools and car
ried it in baskets on their heads to the
place Of final deposit, the great cut Of
Nochistongo is entitled to rank, with
the Pyramids of Egypt, among the
worlds greatest wonders.

What Governs Price of Dogs.

The price paid for dog seems to be
governed not so much by the value of
the animal as the sentiment Of the pur-
chaser in the vast majority Of cases,
and, as rule, the sporting dog brings
the lowest figure. Doubtless this is
due to the fact that the man who wants
a gun dog Is practical person, while
the seeker after the "show dog" pays
for running the SHOW" 1t Is granted
right here that many a good gun dog
also shows well, but the highest prices
go for the show animal, pure and sim.
pie.
At a recent sale of pointers and set
tiers at Birmingham, England, one OF
the most important sales in years, the
entire lot-two score or more-sold for
$3,025. The highest price paid was
1925, for the famous female pointer,
Coronation (four and half years) the
winner of many championships; while
among the settlers the choice was
Ightfield Bang (four and half years. /,
a great field trial winner, who brought
only $185. American purchasers
would have thought these dogs cheap
at $1,000 apiece.
In contrast with these prices, the

New Haven for $4,000 to San Fran.

over at my companion, who was swim
ming abreast of me probably hun
dred feet away, he seemed to be alb

might not keep his head IL the big
fish should really try to annoy him.

saw that green, submarine streak OF

sticking up higher than my head, COM
ing straight for me like shot, / was
nearly panic stricken myself. But
