PAN-AM ERICAN RAILWAY,

Projected Line to Run from Frozen
North to PARKWAY Argentina.
The great railway scheme for uniting
all the republics in the three Americas,
first proposed by III. r. Heller, is again
being urged, and in view of the vast de-
velopment of America and the extern
sion of our railway systems in all di-
rections the scheme seems not chimer-
ical or quiXOtic.
AS to whether such a system, pro-
jected to unite the capital of the Unit,
ed States with that of the Argentine
Republic, not to say Alaska and Pata-
gonia, will be a profitable undertaking
depends upon the Interpretation of the
term. There is little doubt that it's ex-
cessive length Of more than 10000
miles would 'break it's back in many

ports. But as to the ultimate benefit

Killed His Half.

The president of the Louisville board
of trade, who has just returned from a
shooting excursion in Louisiana, haC
always on previous trips taken Antoine
Lemaitre as his guide. This time An
tome was sick and Louis Viger was
presented to him as a substitute. Louis
was a tall, slender fellow, whose only
attire was a cotton shirt, ancient trou-
SerS and battered hat, but whose shot
gun was much finer than that of any
other member of the Louisville mans
party. The Louisville man asked: But
are you as good a guide as Antoine?
We think there is no one in the world
like Antoine" "M'sieu," Louis replied,

Uncle Sam to His Best Girl.

Note-The Yankee schoolmarm has be-
come power in the Philippines.
Here's to the best Of my very best
To the girl with the spirit to
Pull out from the old things of the West
And go to the East and the new;
To take to the youth of the Orient
Her Yankee ways and the heart
To teach them what
A kid has got
To tackle to get start.
The schoolmarm follows the flag, and she
Is the emblem of star-spangled tyranny.
Her scepter's a switch, and where she
rules
The little and big must obey;
She bosses the best in the white man's
schools,
And the yellow must come her way.
She will show to the kids of the Orient
The paths in which they should tread;
And if they shy,
Her switch will fly
Till their yellow skins are red.
The schoolmarm follows the flag, and she
Is the emblem of star-spangled tyranny.
She steps straight out, prepared to go
forth
In her country's cause and its name;
She comes from the South, she comes
from the North,
But she's Yankee just the same;
And she goes to the far-off Philippines
With her mind made up to guide
Those Philippine youth
TO the light and truth,
Or take it out of their hide.
The schoolmarm follows the flag, and she
Is the emblem of star-spangled TYRANNY.

When Tire Bursts in India.

A thrilling story Of how the side
slipping of a motor car nearly resulted
in a man being roasted alive is told
by Ernest Esdale, says Motoring Illus
trated. The incident occurred in Pub
liza, village on the road from Delhi
to Bombay. The car was being driven
slowly past a Jain temple amid the
whOoping Of natives and the beating OF
tom toms.
''At the temple entrance" writes Mr.
Esdale stood two priests, regarding US
with no friendly visage. Bang! And
our back tire has burSr-a deep rut l..
the road has caught the wheel, too. In
4 moment we swerve round, and, hor-
ror Smash right into the temple door
Alas, we have committed sacrilege and
of the worst kind.
1--WE set to work to repair the tire
and just as we had finished a heart
rending, ear-piercing shrek rings out
from the temple inclosure. We rush
in, brushing aside two juvenile priests
who try 10 stop our progress. A crowd
of white-rObed priests stand between
us and the inner sanctuary. But the
three of us are old football players :;
the priests are down like ninepins.
I'VE tear the curtain aside and stand
for moment rooted with horror
There on a rude altar our poor native
motor boy Is being literally roasted
alive. Only a seconds pause to take
in the situation and with a rush we
are upon them.
Selling the upT1fted knife from the
nearest fanatic, we cut the leather
strings and lift the fainting sacrifice
from the altar. Then we beat the
priests off, regain our car and ride
away amid a shower of missiles"

"Since childhood I drank coffee as

far down into that republic, connecting
at the City of Mexico with a Mexican
road for OaXaca, 343 miles, which is
soon to be joined to another line to the
MeXico-Guatemala boundary. Some of
the most difficult work will be encoun-
tered in Guatemala, Salvador, Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica, where the lines
already existing aggregate less than
1000 miles and it is estimated that an
other thousand will be required to COM
pIete the system to the isthnlus of Pan
anna. The toughest of the work will
be encountered in Colombia, 1872
miles; in Ecuador, 365 miles; Peru.

gentina. But there is already a road
southwark from Cuzco, in Peru. to La
Paz, in Bolivia, toward which the very
complete system in Argentina, soon to
be connected with Chill, is running rap
idly northward; SO that about the only
great gap exists north Of Cuzco.

value to the world at large and worth
all 1t will cost Estimating its total
length at rather more than 10000 miles,
nearly one-half the system regarded as
whole is already built, for one may
travel by rail from any large city of
the United States to the isthmus of
Tehuantepec, a distance of about 3,4O0
miles, and another thousand miles are
already in existence in various parts
of South America. Roughly speaking.
there remain $500 miles to build, and
the estimated cost Of the system is put
at $21O,OOOOOO.
Forty years have elapsed since the
scheme was initiated and thirteen since
it was enthusiastically adopted by the
international conference at Washing
ton. The surveys were long ago COM
pleted, and large map in relief drawn
to scale was on exhibition at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago in 1893. Men have risked their
lives and health in explorations, engi-
neers have filed their reports, and it is
now known that the project is not only
feasible, but ultimately likely to be re-
allied. Two great railway systems, the
Mexican Central and the National,

ing schooner is one of the widest ever
poured into the ears of sailors, and
yet there is no reason to disbelieve
his tale, and, indeed, it is strongly
supported by the evidence.
The Valdora, according to the story
Of GeldargO, capsized in q terrific hur-
ricane on July s and for fifty-siX days
the boy lived on the frail raft and fer
fifty-three of those days utterly alone,

The tale of his sufferings, OF the
horror Of being alone in the center Of
the greatest body Of water in the
world, the horrors Of thirst, the pangs
Of hunger, the torture from heat. the
fevers, the chills, the rawlings are
worthy of the pen Of some Dante.

This is the age Of combination and
in no field is this spirit of the age
more manifest than in that of the rail
ways. In acquiring control of the ILL
nOis Central Mr.. Hartman and his as
sociates are putting the spirit into
practice once more. 1t is not appar-
ent that the tendency toward consol-
idation is diminishing or that the pos
sibilities of further combination among
railroads are nearly exhausted. Might
Ter and mightier wax the groups and
more powerful grow the financial
chiefs. For the present Mr.. Hartman
Is the most conspicuous Of the chiefs,
just as his system of lines is the vast
est. But railway kings, like kings of
state, do not reign forever and if the
process of combination and evolution
continues another king even greater

trail and South America there can be
scarcely a doubt. Commercially con-
sidered, with an eye to direct returns
from traffic and freight, the scheme is
chimerical; +, but sentimentalIy viewed
the conception is a noble one and WOr-
thy of adoption. Incalculable results
will flow from the development of in
terror countries at present cut off from
the world, such as the coffee, rubber,
cabinet wood and mineral regions of
the Andean slopes; from the stimulus
which it will give to local and inter
national trade, and from the welding
together Of scattered communities.
Revolutions will decrease as people are
brought together through the competi-
ton Of commerce, for they nearly al
ways start in the sparsely settled dis
tricts of Central and South America
and work their way to the centers of
population, swelling as they 60.
Above all, the influence exerted by
the United States, the largest of these
sister republics, will be immeasurably
enhanced, for the projection Of an all
rail route from the capital of the Unit
ed States to and through all the capt.
tails of the southern republics will tend
toward a unifcation Of sentiment and
methods, with the great northern re-
public always dominant AS a quietus

iected railroad will prove of infinite

The French minister of war has just
granted leave to certain of the best
shots in the garrisons at Calais and
Boulogne to put themselves at the dis
position Of the local authorities for the
purpose Of destroying the many seals
that frequent the sandbanks between
these two towns and are a serious men
ace to the fishing industry. Before
now soldiers have been similarly en-
ployed.
A few, winters since the province of
Luxembourg was so infested with
wolves as to give rise to serious alarm
among the inhabitants, who, by them
selves, were quite unable to cope with
the scourge. They therefore consulted
the minister of agriculture, who, think
ing maybe that the army would be bet
ter employed than idle, organized hunt
ing parties composed Of soldiers, with
a most satisfactory result.
Four years ago a vast horde Of rats
crossed the German frontier into East
Belgium. Their depredations were
wholesale and so audacious in many in
stances did the animals become as
to attack and severely wound young
children. People were even compelled
to abandon their homes, At last the
government was applied to for assist
ance and from the garrisons of the
neighboring towns soldiers were dis
patched to the assistance of the inhab-
ltants, who were with their aid enabled
at length to stem the rodent invasion
Sparrows were the pest that the
French troops were called upon to ex,
terminate some time ago in Algiers.
