an ignorant mother needs instruction-defnite in

at many scientific doors and receive answer to
reward her urgent inquiry.

Mexico's President.

President Diaz is now &c years OF
age, but he is equal to the administra-
tive tasks of a man of sc. For more
than so years he has been the central
figure in the national affairs of Mexi-
CO, and of that time 80 years as an
active soldier. Since he came into
power the country has known absolute
peace, where before it was in constant
revolution. Railroads now run in
every direction, developing great In
dustries and opening up the wonder
full mining districts OF Mexico. Miles
upon miles of telegraph lines are
given in figures that astonish foreign
ers. To President Diaz was given the
honor of completing the great work Of
the drainage of the valley of Mexico,
which has made the capital SO notably
healthy in comparison to former years.
This important engineering problem
was commenced 800 years ago, but
owing to insurmountable difficulties
The project never materialized until
the present era of peace and enlight-
eminent. To President Diaz is also
due the Inauguration Of numerous
great port works, besides many other
enterprises during recent years.

Capt. Tilho, of the French colcsial
infantry, who is at the head of the
French mission for the delimitation of
the French Sudan from British Nj
geria, has been giving some interest
ing particulars of the task entrusted
to him. He is to work in concert with
Maj. O'Shee of the British mission,
to give practical effect to the Anglo
French treaty of May %, 1906. That
treaty establishes in theory the from
tier between the French and English
possessions from the Niger to Lake
Chad. The two missions will now
define those boundaries. Capt. Tilho
considers that about IS months will
be necessary for the completion OF
this work. His personal relations
with the chief Of the British mission
are exceedingly friendly, and near
ly all his officers speak English. Capt.
Tilho and his party were to reach
Baker on November 4, and will pro-
coed thence to Ilo, the first British
port on the Niger, where they will
meet the British mission. From Ilo
the two missions will start on their
work of delimitation, which will ex-
tend over 1900 miles. The British
mission is to reach 10 on December
10. 1t is expected that the work will
have been completed up to Lake Chad
by December, 1907, and that both
missions will be able to return to Eu-
rope in the spring of 1908.

work is not in a more advanced condi-
ton, while the others complain that it has
been rushed with such haste that there
has been insufficient preparation for the
hygiene and comfort of the employees.
AS matter of fact neither criticism is
just. 1t would have been impossible to
go quicker than the commission has
gone, for such quickness would have
meant insufficient preparation. On the
other hand, to refuse to do anything un-
til every possible future contingency. had
been met would have caused wholly UNI
warranted delay. The right course. to
follow was exactly the course which has
been followed Every reasonable prepara-
ton was made in advance, the hygienic
conditions in especial being made as
nearly perfect as possible; while on the
other hand there has been timid re-
fusal to. push forward the work because
of inability to anticipate every possible
emergency, for, of course, many defects
can only be shown by the working of the
system in actual practice.
In addition to attending to the health
of the employees, it is CT course neces-
sary to provide for policing the zone.
This is done by police force which at
present numbers over 200 men, under
Capt. Stanton. About one-ffth of the
men are white and the others black.
In different places I questioned some 70
or 90 of these men, taking them at ran

American workingman in the United
States has no concern whatever in the
question to whether the rough work
on the isthmus. which is performed by
aliens in any event, is done by aliens
or by aliens from another country

to dig tho canal as efficiently and as
quickly as possible; provided always
that nothing is done that is inhumane
to any laborers, and nothing that in
terferes with the wages of or lowers
the standard of living of our own
workmen. Having in view this prin-
ciple. 1 have arranged to try several
thousand Chinese laborers. This is de-
sirable both because we must try to
find out what laborers are most eff
GENT. and. Furthermore. because we
should not leave ourselves at the
mercy of any one type of foreign
labor At present the great bulk of
the unskilled labor on the isthmus is
done by West India negroes. chiefly
from Jamaica, Barbados. and the other
English possessions. One of the gov

Caterpillar fever is contracted by

Medical Times, quoting the London

of caterpillar RASH characterized by
intense itching of the palms and some
times of the face, with vesicles which,
when they occur above the eyes, OBJ

that the caterpil!ars be left severely

PRESIDENT ON PANAMA

this honest COMPLAINT was tvnicai of
what occurred when Investigated most
of the ether honest complaints made to
me. That is. where the complaints
were not made wantonly or malicious
~. they almost always proved due to
failure to appreciate the fact that
time was necessary in the creation
and completion of this titanic work in
tropic wilderness. 1t is impossible
to avoid some mistakes in building a
giant canal through jungle-covered
mountains and swamps. while at the
came time Sanltating tropic cities, and
providing for the feeding and general
care of from 90 900 to SO. 600 workers.
The complaints brought to me. either
of insufficient provision in caring for
some of the laborsrs. or of failure to
finish the Davements of Colon. or of
failure to supply water. or. of failure
to build wooden sidewalks for the use
of the laborers in the rainy season,
on investigation proved, almost with-
ont execution. tn he due merely TO the
utter inability of the commission to do
everything at once.
Unjust Criticism.
Care and forethought have been exer-
ciSed by the commission, and nothing has
reflected more credit upon them than
their refusal either to go ahead too fast
or to be deferred by the fear of criticism
from not going ahead fast enough. 1t is
curious to note the fact that many of
the most severe critics of the commission
criticise them for precisely opposite rea-
sons, some complaining bitterly that the
