Fakirs Working Overtime.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The falSirs are getting in their work in the burned section, now that so many sightseers and laborers pass that way. Besides the innumerable soda water and sandwich stands, many souvenir postal salesmen sprung up during the night, of fering pictures of the fire and its effects, crudely printed. One pawn broker, rather than have his income cut entirely, has opened a. lemonade stand on top of his safe on Post street. pending the time when it will be safe to expose the con tents of the safe to the hot afr.
 Around the mint and the postoffice there are no less than forty faSirs selling souvenirs of the ruins for 25 cents and up. The articles offered consist of broken china, urns, flower pots. etc, absolutely worthless, but as long as they are charred. tourists fall for the game and carefully preserve them as mementoes of scorchcd San Francisco.

THE PANAMA CANAL WORK.
John Foster Carr Tells What Is Being
 Done by Sanitary Force.

From the Outlook.
 Colon may well stand typically as an example of the labors we are accomplish ing on the isthmus by skill persistence, and the sheer effort of many hands. The difficulties are typical, too-eXasperatlng some of them most of them unavoidable a few peculiar to Colon alone. One even ing I heard that road work was halted for lack of gravel. The Panama railroad, overburdened with it's normal traffic and the frantic demands of other departments, had failed them. There were generous supplies of earth for filling, but not an other carload of gravel could be had perhaps for days. Another day, after the noon breakfast, as 1 accompanied the health officer on his rounds foreman Hold us that thirty laborers had knocked off work because they could not get their pay. Investigation showed that the pay roll had been held five days in Pan anna for audits of which even Washington red tape affords no precedent.
 The slaughter house was another diffi- culty. At my first visit I found vultures by the hundred-"the voluntary brigade of the sanitary men" "-devouring the offal that washed up on the beach in front or 8 half dozen fishers huts. Colon hospital was less than a half mile away. On ln- ouiry I learned that time after time com plaint had been made to the authorities. As in most Spanish-American cities, there are political wheels within wheels in Colon, and the Alcade, for all his good will, could take no active measures to abate the nuisance. Thanks to the pa tience and ingenuity of the health of i. floer. conditions are vastly improved, but the abuse still remained one week ago. Nor is this all. A number of the cattle l saw in the pens could not possibly have passed our inspectors for butchering-one was certainly diseased and one was tu- gerculosis suspect. Eight of them had been standing from Monday until Friday night without water. And yet l have the highest legal authority for saying that our treaty rights are ample for the regulation of both these matters. We do not use the power we have because conciliation is the order of the day.
 These are types of the usual difficulties. Some are quickly passing away. The rail- road is rapidly receiving it's new rolling stock, the double tracking will be finished during the summer, and the extreme pres sure on the service will be relieved. The local auditors office has just been merged with the disbursing office under the charge

 The American farmer must be stu dent. Few countries in the world have such an excellent agricultural press as Is found In the United States, and this Is one reason why our farmers are noted the world over for their progressive methods and their high average inteli- gence. No farmer can afford to be with out d good agricultural paper, for it brings to his home each week the latest and best information about farming which is at best complicated subject There Is a great body of scientists at work in this country studying the prob lems of chief concern 10 the farmer and how shall he know the results of their efforts except through the information brought to his door by his agricultural paper?

 A good Nubian lion is worth 5000; a Senegal specimen little more than half this sum. A fine tiger is also worth about $i000 In Bengal, where the most beautiful and largest tigers are trapped, there is 8 government bounty paid on each, for the annual mortality in India through tigers and snakes-chiefly cobras-is something appalling. The long-haired Chinese and Siberian tigers bring as much as $500, and other very valuable varieties come from Persia and Russian Turkestan.

Probably not fifty people know that the drawing by MT. du Maurier which has been the most widely circulated Is the one that millions of people have seen and are still seeing every day without ever sus- pecting whose the drawing is, and 1t has been seen by millions of people who never even heard of MT du Mauriers name
