A thorough consideration of the
whole question regarding the type Of
canal to be constructed on the Isthmus
of Panama has led President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft to decide in favor
Of the lock canal and against the sea-
level waterway. The last word will be
uttered by Congress, for Mr.. Roosevelt
says in his message accompanying the
reports Of the experts, the commission
ers and Chief Engineer Stevens that
its direction will, Of course, be follow
ed," whatever it may be. But there is
little doubt that Congress will indorse
the practical conclusions of the eXecu-
tive. 1t cannot be said that the deci-
sion was hastily made. Special care
has been taken to insure the best pres
entation Of the strongest considera-
tions In favor Of the sea-level project.
The arguments Of the majority of the
consulting engineers have been earnest
ly and deeply considered. Secretary
Taft admits that he entered upon the
study with a pronounced leaning to-
ward a sea-level canal. President
Roosevelt also originally indicated a
preference for that type Of waterway.
What has compelled them to render
the verdict they have finally given may
be briefly summed up as follows: The
practical success Of lock canals now in
operation; the dangers of so narrow
and contracted channel prism as that
which, In view Of the financial and
other difficulties, the majority pro-
posed; the great additional cost in time
and money Of a sea-level canal; the
natural desire Of the people to see, or
to hope to see, tangible results from
the enormous expenditures they were
incurring the fact that 1t will be easier
to enlarge rock canal than one of the
other type, and, finally, the fact that
the present law contemplates a lock
canal. Amendment Of the law would
reopen the door to obstructive tactics
and interminable debates. These rea-
sons will doubtless appear fairly con-
elusive to the great majority of the
laymen Of the country, says the Chi
cago Record-Herald. 1t is not denied
that the sea-level type has some advan-
tages over that recommended. But it
is, as the President says, misleading to
talk about "the Straits Of Panama."
for no one suggests anything but a mar
row channel, and much Of the apparent
simplicity and alleged thoroughness of
the sea-level solution Is delusfve. The
balance of advantage seems to be clear
ly on the side of the lock canal.

French engineers are proud of the
new railway bridge constructed by
Frenchmen across the Songma In Indo.
China. The Songma Is a very deep
stream, the waters of which are dis.
turbed by violent winds. The depth
at the point where the new bridge
spans the river is sixty feet, so that
1t was not possible to erect a pier in
the river, and the work had to be
constructed entirely in the air. The
form Of bridge chosen was a steel arch
carrying the roadway by suspensory
cables. The members of the arch
were swung into place by means of
trolleys running on temporary cables
stretched overhead. The arch con.
slsts Of two halves conjoined at the
center by "rotule" or cap-piecc
which automatically adjusts the ef
fects Of deformations. The length Of
the bridge Is a little more than four
hundred and thlrty-one feet. The rail.
way connects Hue, the capital of
Anam, with Hanoi, the capital Of Ton
kin.

In 1852 representatives of England,
France, Austria, Russia, Prussia and
Sweden signed a treaty, declaring that
the maintenance Of the integrity of the
Danish mOnarchywas necessary for the
peace of Europe. To secure that integ
rity they selected Prince Christian as
heir to the childless king. The rights
claimed by Prussia In the Danish prov
inces of Schleswig and Holstein were
not surrendered by this treaty. Prussia
claimed those provinces in 1864 in a
war, one of the results of which was
the annexation Of them to Germany
and their final separation from Danish
influence. German ambition does not
seek the annexation of Denmark itself.
Even on the pan-German maps the
boundaries of the new Germany stop
at the southern frontier of Denmark.
Denmark guards the mouth of the Bal
tic. 1t is to the interest Of all the
powers that neutral nation shall hold
this strategic position. II this were not
So 1t Is likely that the pan-German map
would include Denmark In the dream
empire Of the future. Should the in
terest OF the powers disappear, Den
mark Itself might suffer the fate of
Schleswig and Holstein, which were
seized by Prussia at a time when
neither England nor France cared
enough about the integrity Of the Dan
ish kingdom to go to the assistance Of
the Danes. So long as Danish occu-
pancy Of the end of the old Jutland
peninsula conserves the peace of Eu-
rope, the throne Of the Danish kings
will be safe.

KNOW MORE. THAN SERVANTS,
Superiority in Household Education
VIII Clear "PrOblem.o

Superiority in Household Education
VIII Clear "PrObIem."
My experience has taught Just this:
Our servants are not our equals in
point Of education. Then let the edu-
Gated mind be high in authority. No
system can be strong where there Is
not good leader. Let our servants
feel and see that we know lust as
much, If not more about their work
than they do. To do this we must look
into things carefully, for no woman ig-
norant of the ins and outs of house
can control her maid. Any mind will
always respond to the superiority Of
knowledge. 1t Is not necessary to
parade this knowledge But if Mary
knows that by coming to her mistress
she will be helped out of any difficulty,
she respects that mistress.
Yet, while we are above our servants
in the management of our homes, the
mistress and maid are equals under
the laws Of our land. The mistress
who is wise will not pry into the pri-
Vate analrS or her maid. We cannot.
and do not, demand all her time. A
ten-hour day seems to me impractic-
able, for housework in It's nature does
not admit Of ten-hour day unless we
can resolve it into specialties. That
may work well where there is more
than one maid, but to the average
American housekeeper 1t would mean
great deprivation.
The real, true, earnes, spirit of lead
ership always counts. There Is no hui
initiation in prompt obedience. BY
strength do not mean show of boss
ism, but a quiet, just earnest spirit
that will impress others with desire
to do good work.-Good Housekeeping.

HOMES OF PUEBLO INDIANS.

The picture shows some of the Gu
rious dwellings of the Pueblo Indians
at Taos, N. NJ. They are believed to
be the oldest human habitations in
America, and the Taos valley is prob
ably the most primitive spot in the
country. Over 500 families live In
these Taos .pueblos, which are con-
structed of adobe and straw, tier upon
tier of rooms, the first floor reached
by a ladder. In the town of Taos,
which Is three miles from the Pueblos
Kit Carson's house is still standing
He Is buried In the Taos cemetery.

THE LAW OF FORGIVENESS.
By Rev. Henry T. Cope

Forgive and ye shall be forgiven.
Luke W., 81.
A silly Interpretation often leads
to the utter rejection Of law. Senti-
mentalists have caused men Of sense to
pronounce this an impractical rule. Yet
we indorse 1t every time we utter the
Lords prayer, and still we hope to be
forgiven whether we find 1t possible to
forgive or not. If this law means the
soft minded fabbiness that sends bou
quets to bloody criminals and petitions
the pardon Of murderers and the re-
lease of the foes Of humanity, we must
reject it as the utterance Of one unac-

only hope that If he survives he may
