a Love Letter zoo Year. O1d.

While carrying on some excavations
near the foundations Of the old Church
Of st. Peter, on top Of MOntmartre, NJ.
SauvageOt, a well known French an
tlquary, has discovered a love letter
which Is 700 years old. 1t was written
by the knight Jean de Gisors to his
lady. Alice de Isle. In his letter the
knight declares for all the world to
know that he has wOrshiped the fair
Lady Alice from afar, that never had
she given him any right to declare his
love, but that her image has been his
guiding star for years and that now on
the eve OF battle be wishes to send her
chsste farewell. Apparently the dam

tsTHMUS or PANAMA
AND EARTHQUlAK
Birmingham Age-Herald

Secretary Taft tells congress it must
decide soon whether the big ditch is
to be a lock or a sea-level affair
and he says that if congress does no;
soon rise to its duty in this matter,
he will stop all work at Panama.
The truth is congress hesitates lest
If makes a mistake. The engineers
disagree, and when engineers disagree
lsymen may well hesitate. All would
like to see a sea-level waterway at
Panama. but it would cost more money
and consume more time. Those who
want quick results desire a lock ca
nal
But a new factor was brought into
the case by the San Francisco disas-
ter. Earthquakes are common along
our Pacific front, and the shocks at
San Francisco simply deepen the
dread of them on the entire west
coast. There are no more at Panama
than elsewhere. but Panama is By no
means without the earthquake belt.
A canal with a minimum of mason
~ would in earthquake shocks be far
safer than one full Of il, and a lock
canal means q vast amount OF ma
s0nry. A sealevel canal might net
prove to be- eaFthquake-pT0Of, but its
chances of escape from harm in such
an emergency would lar outrun those
of a lock canal A lock in ship ca
nal means a vast amount of masonry
and some steel construction and what
an earthquake would 90 to a lock can
readily be imagined.
And yet a destructive earthquake
may never be felt at Panama. One
has not shaken up the isthmus in a
long course Of years, and the fears
raised by the san Francisco convul-
sion may be gr0undless. The earth
quake Is, however, to be reclkoned with
all along the Pacific coast, and Con
gress will doubtless consider it when
it takes up the canal problem.
