Lock System for the Panama Canal.

The selection of the lock plan was I'M

has been general to assume that the grea t

immense amount of excavation 1t would re-

FATE OF SQUARE PIANOS.
Many Sold for the Children to "Bang

Square pianos are out of style and they

cade." said a dealer in musical instru-
ments. but we could not do business with
out them. 1t is got often that old
square piano goes to the junk pile; 1t must
be practically worthless before 1t is unfit
for exchange. 1 dare say that not less
than one thousand square pianos were
sold in Washington during the past month
for Christmas gifts and just as many
hearts were made happy. The majority
Of the rich and those In moderate cir
cumstances believe that home is not COM
plete without an upright plano. and they
exchange thei' old square instrument, pay
ing u.s. of course, good round sum In
cash or notes. The squares are retoned
cleaned up and made as presentable
possible. and we have no difficulty In find
ing ready purchasers among those who are
unable to buy an expensive piano. And
let me say that some of these dear old
time Instruments are far superior to the
pianos which have forced them out OF the
homes of the rich. But. then, there are many
rich people who will not part with their
square piano. although they may own one.

Father Leopold's own explanation. how

Spanish missionaries and explorers must
naturally contain the key to its meaning
Now. in a memorial to the King of Spain
written in 1880 by Fra Alonzo de Benavidea.
o. F. M. the writer after describing the

leagues north Of them lone encounters the

though they are the same Apache nation as

dinates to another chief captain and have
q distinct mode of living. For those OF

we have broken land for them and taught
| them to plant. But these of Navajo are
very great farmers. for that is what Nava-

From the expression "the Apaches OF
Navajo 1t is evident that the last word
did at first represent not the natives now
called by 1t. but the country they inhabited
The southern Denes were to the Spaniards
simply Apaches, who. for the sake of con-
venience, were at first qualified by their
particular habitats, until frequent repetition
and love of conciseness caused the names
Of the Indians to be discarded in favor OF
that of their lands, it often happens
even In our days.
AS to the word Apache itself the same
missionary proposes as a possible etymol-
herds to pasture, and his suppositioE de-
rves color from the fact that A. F. Ban
delier speaking of the Apaches in general,
calls them occasionally 1.-The Apaches-Vac-
queros, or cowherds." But personally l
would feel more inclined to accept DIR. Ales
Brodlcka's suggestion that that term is
probably a corruption Of Opaka, which in
the dialect of the Pimas, the southern
Denes' neighbors, means enemies, or aliens,
like the Navahoes Amaze and the northern
Denes Atna.
Great planted fields was therefore orig
inally meant by Navajo. and this interpre-
tation Is further explained by the fact that
when first encountered by the Spaniards
they were in possession of an immense ter
ritory, some of which-possibly that part
Of it which was first seen by the white in
truders-was planted with corn. "Nava"

Those who are familiar with the character
of their lands will not gainsay the appro-
priateness of the appellation.

MAKING A DEWPOND.
An Old Method of Securing Water
Even in a Drought.

Even in a Drought.
From the New York Sun.
There is still in England at least one
wandering gang of men who will construct
for the modern farmer a pond which in any
situation in suficiently dry soil Will al
ways contain water-more in the heat of
summer than during winter rains.
According to an account given by A. ].
and G. Hubbard and published by Long
mans. this water is not derived from springs
or rainfall. and Is speedily lost If even the
smallest rivulet is allowed to flow into the
pond.
The gang of dewpond makers commences
operations by following out the earth for a
space far in excess of the apparent require
ments of the proposed pond They then
thickly cover the whole of the hollow with
a coating of dry straw. The straw in its
turn is covered by a layer of well-chosen,
finely puddled clay. and the upper surface
of the clay is then closely strewn with
stones.
Care has to be taken that the margin
of the straw is effectively protected by clay.
The pond will gradually become filled with
water, the more rapidly the larger it is,
even though no rain may fall. If such a
structure Is situated on the summit of a
the earth VIII have stored a considerable
amount of heat. while the pond, protected
from this heat by the non-conductivity of
the straw. is at the same time chilled by the
process of evaporation from the puddled
clay
The consequence Is that during the night
the moisture Of the comparatively warm
air is condensed on the surface of the cold
clay. AS the condensation during the night
is in excess of the evaporation during the
day, the pond becomes, night by night,
gradually filled. Theoretically. may OBJ
serve that during the day. the air being
comparatively charged with moisture, evap-
Grafton is necessarily less than the precipi-
tation during the night In practice it is
found that the pond will constantly yield
a supply of the purest water
The dewpond will cease to attract the dew
If the layer of straw should get wet, as 1t
then becomes of the same temperature as
the surrounding earth. and ceases to act as
a non-conductor Of heat. This practically
always occurs II spring is allowed to flow
into the pond or if the layer of clay Uech-
nically called the crusD is pierced.

OFFENDING COAL DEALERS.
Sealer of Weights and Measures
Means to Take Action.

Preparations are being made by w. G.
Haskell. sealer of weights and measures of
the District. to deal as severely with coal
dealers regarding short measures as he did
last summer with the ice dealers. when GER
tain of the latter were prosecuted for not
complying with the requirements.
So far it has been called to the sealer's
attention that several of the itinerant coal
dealers who sell by the bushel or ether
small quantities have various ways of re-
ducing their measure. One method EN-
ployed by certain coal dealers is to dent the
sides of metal coal receptacles SO that the
measure will run short.
