CONTRACT
SYSTEM IN BUILDING CANAL Is
THE FAVORED ONE.
President Said TO Agree With Shonts
He VIII Make Trip 10
Panama.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.-It has
been finally decided that the Panama
canal will be completed by contract.
President Roosevelt is known to sup
port the commission in its position
that the work can be done more sat
isfactorily by contractors than by the
government. He had a long confer
ence with Chairman Shonts today on
the subject and various arguments in
favor of contract system were dis
cussed fully.
This change in the plan of build
ing the canal will in no way effect
the employment of Chinese labor.
Proposals for furnishing Chinese
were made under such conditions
that they can be transferred to con-
tractors and terms can be fulfilled in
such manner that the government
can give the coolies Just as much
protection as it could IL the govern
ment were the direct employers.
President Roosevelt still intends to
visit the isthmus this fall and unless
there be some change for worse in
the Cuban situation, will probably
leave for Colon a short time after
the election.

In travelling in Venezuela it is not
enough to ask how far distant place

words. what its altitude is, and, no less
important. what hills and valleys have
to be crossed. Thus 1t Is not only
necessary to know that Caracas is six
miles distant in a straight line from La
Guayra, its seaport but that it lies at
an elevation Of nearly half mile above
sea level and that to reach 1t one has
to cross a mountain wall rising far

are any taller than / nm." Lincoln re-
piled, Come up here and let us meas

BELLS AS BAROMETERS.

Their Tone VIII Indicate What the
Weather VIII De.
Church bells can serve another pur-
pose besides ringing you to worship.
They make a good substitute for Il
barometer AS the atmosphere is the
sole conductor of sound from the bell
to the ear, it is obvious that the in
tensity and quality Of the sound as
perceived by the ear will depend on
the state of the medium through which
It comes. For instance, if bells sound
very distinctly Of an evening, this
points to the probability of a wet day
following, since air heavily charged
with moisture conducts sound better
than dry air. So too, as dense air con
ducts better than light air, bells sound
more clearly when the barometer is
high than when 1t is low, other things
being equal, and so, too, with hot and
cold air. These principles are familiar
to all country folk living within the
sound of church bells. About five
miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there
are some small bells which are called
water bells" When they are heard
distinctly in the town rain is sure to
follow.-London Spectator.
