The Unrulx Chagres River.

The great problem of the construc-
ton of a sea level canal, or of any
canal at Panama, is the disposition
of the water Of the Chagres River and
its tributaries. AS we have seen, the
canal is to be constructed in the val
ley of this river for twenty-seven
miles, when it leaves the Chagres and
follows the valley Of it's tributary the
Obispo At the point where the Cha
gres Valley and the canal diverge,
the river discharges in the dry season
as low volume as 800 cubic feet a
second, but it has been known at
times of food to discharge, in round
numbers, $4,000 cubic feet a second.
This must be taken care of in some
way so as not to oyerwhelm the ca
nal. The rainfall in that part Of the
Chagres Valley in which the canal
lies is upward of 1870 to 140 inches a
year. Below the point where the ca
nal leaves the valley of the Chagres
there are about seventeen streams,
the discharge from which must either
be diverted from the canal or allowed
to enter it-From Secretary Taft's
"The Panama Canal" in the Century.

Guilty or Innocent.

ADropos Of the recent court-mar-
al at Portsmouth there is an inter-
sting point connected with the trial
Of naval officers. After the voting as
to the verdict the officer who is being
tried is brought into the room, and
a glance tells him his fate. His
sword was placed on the table at the
beginning of the proceedings, with
the point toward him and the hilt to-
ward the president of the court. If
now the sword is reversed, the hilt
toward the prisoner, he knows that
he is honorably acquitted, but IL the
weapons point is still toward him the
accused knows that he has to await
sentence.

The Warmth Of Snow House.

Usually our snow igloos allowed
each man from eighteen to twenty
inches space in which to lie down,
and just room enough to stretch his
legs we'll With our sleeping bags
they were entirely comfortable, no
matter what the weather outside. The
snow is porous enough to admit of
air circulation, but even gale Of
wind without would not affect the
temperature within. 1t is claimed by
the natives that when the wind blows,
a snow house is warmer than in a pc
riod Of still cold. l could see no diff
ference. A new snow igloo is, how
ever, more comfortable than one that
has been used, for newly cut snow
blocks are more porous. In one that
has been used there is always crust
of ice on the interior which prevents
a proper circulation of air.-Dillon
Wallace, in Outing.

the means of extricating him, vt
What sacrifice only herself knew.
And then, one day, when she had
thought for long time that she was
too old for "romancing," how surpris-
ed she was to find that the legend
about Time having such power to
heal was, after all, quite true, for
did not her heart thrill with pleasure
when she became aware that Francis
Gordon fought delight in her com
pany?
How young she began to feel again!
How she blushed to find herself one
day actually studying her wrinkles in
the mirror!
Francis Gordon was well-known
author, and the son of an old friend
of her fathers. He had come down
to Ingleton for quiet rest. Why had
he chosen Ingleton? Nan learned
the secret one glorious moonlight ey-
ening in the old garden.
For years your fathers letters have
been permeated with the name Nan -
said he. Some time ago, when Flo's
engagement was announced, he wrote
my father, so now, dear Nan, after
all her sacrifice and devotion is left
alone with her old father; she will
not have me, but l feel it is very
lonely for her When l read that,
dear (for the Ingleton letters were
always passed on to me), realized
afresh how wanted you All these
years have been so interested in
those references to you. / had an
idea that you'd tire of it all in time,
and strike out for yourself some day,
for in the old times know you map
ped out a very different life for your
self. | remember the flash in your
eye as you spoke of the future. But
you kept true to your trust, and in
stinctiyely | admired you for it, and
when that letter came, then deeper
current was touched, and l came to
Ingleton to find you. | know / am
not young, but because my love is the
growth of years, will you not believe
it all the more true and steady, Nan?"
That was a glorious evening, and
Nan had a rapture all to herself in
the silent night. Now she had an
other to minister to, and-ah beauti-
full, fresh experience-someone to re-
turn the ministry. What comfort
to have a strong, firm, human friend
to lean on.
One more glimpse
Two little ones are playing in the
old garden. The dear old vicar, white
haired now, and growing very old,
watches them tenderly. The little
girl has Mans faithful eye; the boy,

Every week the children pay low

time they went little Frank spelt out

But for answer the mothed only clasp

the wheat, of one large wheat field,

power engine in this locality pulls "a
disc plows and packers aud 3 ten foot
harrows, all at one time, thus prepar-
ing the ground ready for the drill, at
the rate of 30 acres day. To a Della
warean, of course this is all simply
immense. The air seems salubrious
to a wonderful degree, even a snow we
had last Saturday which disappeared
on Sunday, leaving no such distinctive
chill in the aiI as the same conditions
are wont to do in "Balmy Delaware. {"
