HElnnrARrERs ~ CULEBRA

The chief engineer Of the Panama Canal mas
taken g significant step In removing MS heau-
quarters from Panama 10 Culehra r TON
practical and technical point Of view the change
Is desirable In Panama he and his stan were
several miles from the canal. AT Culehra hey
are directly on the line Of the canal ana al the
ve-v noint where most Of the work is TO be done
Tine and effort viii be saved, a closer loucn
with the whole work viii be maintained and
an excellent moral effect will be produced upon
he working force. Hitherto. some Of the men
NAV have been inclined TO draw invidious con-
trasts between the lot Of the engineers, IN the
handsome and commodious palace on the CatAe-
dral Plaza, and that of the laborers' IN camp
among the fungles. Unreasonable as such con
trasts were. il Is well TO have them and all
pretence Of an excuse for them abolished
The move is an effective answer. also TO the
output Of some Of the haf-baked, snapshot
fauIt-fnders here who have been railing at the
canal administration. We were told the other
dav that the chief engineer and his staff kept
themselves in sanitary quarters in Panama, and
would not risk their lives amid the horrors to
which they sent their hapless subordinaJes. But
now Of their own volition Mr.. Stevens and his
aids are going out into the jungle to live ana
work-even 10 that grewsOme spot where &C
cording 10 a recent scribe Of superior inspira-
tion. there are no sidewalks, no electric lights
a cafe and where-horrible diCru lit rains
We are inclined 10 think the incident viii con
vince most people that the camps at CulebTa
and elsewhere along the canal are not exactly
q cross between TOphet and Gehenna. and that
our engineers, from the chief down. are really
getting TO work without any fuss or feathers.
II is only just to add that this move is in no
respect TO be interpreted as a condemnation of
Mr.. Wallaces policy in first establishing head
quarters in Panama. but rather as a vindCa-
ton Of Il since the very considerations which
now make II desirable 10 have the headquarters
ar Culebra made it formerly Just as desirable
70 have them at Panama For the first year
and more Of our work on the isthmus the chief
scene of activity was the city Of Panama, where
wateTwoTks and sewers and pavements were to
be constructed and where vast amount Of
organization business was to be transacted So
long as that work was IN hand Panama was
the proper place for headquarters. When it was
finished. and the scene of chief activity was
shifted 70 Culebra, fl fitting 10 change the
site Of headquarters. That has now been done
and the incident is an index Of the progress of

we have said, would save much time ana money,
and it would not involve the loss Of what has al
ready been spent on the Catskill surveys -
though we could we'll afford to lose those thou

Catskin scheme would merely be postponed. It
viii be remembered that the original scheme was
10 take the water Of botn Duchess and Ulster
counties but that of Duchess first. If now
Duchess County is reopened it viii be possible
to return to that original scheme aud complete it,
In such case the work already done i'm Ulster
and in Hudson River soundinCs would not be
wasted but would simply have been done in ad-
vance TO be continued fifteen or twenty years

UNIVERSAL TINE STANDARDS.

The proposition to make Greenwich time the
legal standard i'm France has according 10
Nature" been revived this winter No state
ment is made about the chance that 1t viii
receive legislative sanction. but N least two
pretexts for pursuing an Independent course
have been removed since the question was last
seriously discussed by French statesmen and
scientists. Spain. after long delay, fell into line
only a few years ago, though the difference
in time between Madrid and London is greater
than that between Paris and London. Pracu-
cally the whole Of Europe now, except France
ana Russia, has officially sanctioned the related
projects Of having time belts exactly an hour
apart and making Greenwich the starting point
TO which they should all refer America, ii is
hardly necessary TO add. adopted the plan twenty
years or more ago.
Another obstacle in the way OF cooperation
was 2 singular disagreement between British
and French astronomers regarding the differ
ence in longitude between Paris and Green
wich Time changes four minutes for every
degree as one goes eastward or westward, and
though the computations Of the experts were
only a few seconds apart it was necessary TO
eliminate the discrepancy entirely before II
would be feasible TO say just how far back
French clocks should be set when the new
programme took effect. Within the last three
or four years an international commission has
MADE q IreSu REORGANIZATION Oh Tux lo9l-l''ll-
Of the two cities, or. rather Of particular land
marks in them On that point a harmonious
conclusion was reached a few months ago. It
Is conceded on both sides Of the English Chan
mel that if France alters her standard at all 1t
should be to the extent of Q minutes and p
seconds.
Popular prejudice against English ideas and
institutions may account in some measure for
the hesitation Of the French people TO accept
plan that has been approved by nearly all
the other civilized nations of the world. How
ever. If such a sentiment has exerted any lnhu-
ence in the past il would appear 10 be less
potent to-day than it was ten or twenty years
ago. Now that the last important technical OBJ
lection 10 taking the step has disappeared
therefore, it would not be surprising If France
should formally commit herself 70 the project
when IT is next presented 10 her Senate and
Chamber of Deputies. &

CHANGING WATER PLANS.

The last week has seen some marked and hope
full changes in the plan Of campaign for iucreas-
ing the water supply Of this city. The municipal
authorities in Brooklyn. as we have hitherto
hoped they would and suggested they should do
have challenged the validity Of the law exclud-
Ing them from Suffolk County by entering that
county and taking from 1t something like a mill
ion gallons OF water a day. Preparations are
being made for a great extension Of the system.
and there is as yet no indication that the Suffolk
County authorities mean 10 invoke the law
against II. If they should do So II is not i'm
probable that they would be beaten In the courts
with a decision that the law was unconstitu-
UOual AT the same time radical action has
been taken at Albany, in the Introduction Of
measure repeating that Suffolk County law and
also the law debarring New-York from the
Duchess County watershed. There seems rea-
son TO look for the enactment of this measure
since it is understood that Suffolk County no
longer opposes the taking Of its water, while
Duchess County viii probably be quite content
with such an agreement for indemnity as the
State Water Board has effected in the case of
Ulster County.
Now, the city has already made plans for get
ting water from Ulster County, regarding itself
as hopelessly debarred from these other sources
and has spent much money on the work Gener-
ally speaking, II IS not well 10 change mans
D
likely 10 cause delay and loss Of the money al
ready spent In this case. however. no such evil
results Will follow. On the contrary, if Suffolk
/ and Duchess counties are opened to it. the city
/ VIII save both time and money by going to them
( first for its water. In Suffolk County BROOKLYN
can double it's present supply in a 1.-THE Of the
/ time and at a 1.-THE Of the expense that the Cat
skill project would entail, and il will be water
/ OF exceptional purity. Indeed, the saving Of
/ time would lie SO great, and the need Of expedi-
ton is so urgent that it would be little less than

/ Of that from the Catskills. AS for Manhattan
there is no doubt that II could increase It's sup
ply TO the extent Of from 80 10 20 per cent much
/ more quickly and much more cheaply from
/ Duchess than from Ulster County, and it would
be quite inexcusable for II TO neglect the former
