even the professional discussion OF
Engineering problems. But. as the
situation was explained to me by
Chief Engineer Stevens and his sub
ordinates, there did not seem to be
any entirely new engineering prob
lens on the canal.
Gatun Dam Not the Biggest.
There are many local canals in
the world and some of them have
great locks and great dams. / under
stand there are dams on earth in the
United States that hold back a great
err body of water than the proposed
Gatun dam is to hold back to form
an artificial lake from that point to
the Culebra cut.
"There is, am tod. such a dam
in California near San Francisco, and
1t was not disturbed by the earth
quake and did not spring leak any
where. The engineering problem of
Gatun seems 10 have been settled in
the United States, and all the engin-
GERS have to do will be to work in an
intelligent and honest way.
at will be a gigantic work to build
am earth dam a mile long half a
mile wide at the base, and nearly 100
feet high. and 1t will take time, but
such work has been done before and
II has been found efficient, and with
hydraulic power, steam shovels and
cable carriers such as are now in use,
&c can be done and done well.
1.-THE locks to raise the ships from
sea level to the artificial lake behind
Gatun dam, an elevation of eighty
five feet, must be a, little larger and
stronger. however than any we have
dn the United States"
CuIcbra Cut No New Problem.
Asked what he thought of the
great CuGebra cut and If the COM
mission can cut canal through the
mountain there, Mr.. Cannon replied:
That is a big work, but it is an
Engineering problem with which
American railroad builders are
familiar. In fact, it is not canal
problem so much as II is a railroad
problem. We have for forty years
been working on Just such problems
in the western part OF the United
States. putting through Rocky noun
tain transcontinental. railroads.
"Mr. Stevens is railroad builder
and he seems to have taken hold of
this job Of cutting through Culebra
just as he would If he were building
railroad. and Col. Goethals .ex-
pressed his surprise at the complete
ness of the organization for that
work. Mr.. Stevens probably will new
er get credit for the work he has
done. He has made an Organization
that. if maintained. will cut through
Culebra and remove the greatest OBJ
stacle to the canal. He has placed
his drills and steam shoyels and has
laid his labarynth of tracks so as to
get the most effective WORK from his
Organization.
Here Mr.. Stevens has at work 53
steam shovels, 12l locomotives, and
about 1900 fiat cars to cut down
Culebra hill and remove the earth
and rock to the valley, either to make
new roadbed for the railroad or to
fill up the lower levels in the bed Cd
the artificial lake. With railroad
shops and yards, with electrical
plants and compressed air drills, with
dynamite blasting. and this whole
great combination at work. 1t seems
to me that the biggest job in the
canal zone is certain to be concluded
within the time the engineers fixed
seven or eight years.

"a
Portuguese Hope to Restore to Cal<
ttvatton 10000, 900 Acres.
Portugal, according to Vice and Dep
uty Consul K. II. Kinchant Of Lisbon,
has started in on q system OF land rec
lamation which, ii as successful as 1t
promises to be, must result In similar
movements In various parts Of Europe.
He writes:
I'm the south OF Portugal a serious
attempt Ia being made, with some
chance OF success, to bring back into
cultivation a large tract OF land. This
country being essentially agricultural,
any steps to reclaim land that has gone
out Of cultivation, estimated at ABA
600 hectars (about 100000 acres), or
A per cent Of the total area OF Portu-
gal, are move In the right direction
"Socne energetic members Of society
in the district Of Serpa, In combination
with the municipal authorities, have
set to work upon 100000 acres, divid-
ing 1t up into allotments Of fifteen acres
each and letting 1t at nominal rent,
calculated according to the estimated
value of the land, which has, as 1t we're,
four classifcations, the highest quit
rent being placed at 1920 and the low
est at 40 cents an allotment, free Of
total rates and taxes for ten years.
quite a heterogeneous mixture Of
settlers has already taken possession
of their tenements Carpenters, ma
sons, doctors. chemists, BARRIERS, seam
stresses, tailors, and even beggars, fig
ure in the list.
Zone OF the chief difficulties to be
overcome before making the allotments
was to deal with the proprietary right
of beekeepers, who centuries ago had
certain privileges conferred upon them
whereby they did a thriving trade In
honey and wax. This trade has in later
times diminished, owing to the destruc-
ton of the floral produce of the land,
chiefly by firing when portions thereof
were cleared for wheat and other cere-
ais. Matters have been amicably set
tied for the beekeepers and the EN-
bryo agrlculturists The success OF
the scheme as far as 1t has gone has
stirred the ambition of the residents in
a large part of the north of Portugal,
where project on similar lines Is being
set on foot to bring back into cultiva-
ton something like half a million
acres"

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth Of tie
old.time household remedies.
In the early history OF this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit
tiers, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
bounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
ily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
in apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey. hops and bit
ter banks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus com
pounded, the formulate for which we're
passed along from house to house,
sopetimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business ia a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home made remedies, would take
IL u iluplOfO ~ III many ways, manu-
iacture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
Hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
PeIuna was originally one Of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it increased, and at last he es-
tablished a mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERNUA and its value in
the treatment of these ailments. They
haveilearned to trust and believe in DR.
Harkmsn's judgment, and to rely on
his remedy, Peruna.

Me.ican CHURCH Legends.

Queretaro was town before the
Spanish conquest and was made city
in 1855. A legend Of Queretaro is that
an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia
by name, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity In way that seems
novel to us, but was common enough
to his day. He came from Tula with
a challenge to the people Of Queretaro
to a fair stand up fight. If he won,
the people surviving were to be bap-
tized. The challenge was accepted, but
while the fight was in progress dark
cloud came up and the blessed San
tiago was seen In the heavens with a
fiery cross, whereupon the people OF
Queretaro gave up and were baptized.
They set up stone cross to commem-
crate the event on the site of the pres
emit church of Santa Cruz. There Is
scarcely church In Mexico which has
not a legent Of this kind attached to it.

Physical Inheritance.

When people use the WORD nereu-
ity'' they are very likely to mean some
dreadful bugaboo of a supposed natural
law. which they have invited for them
selves through which the poor human
race comes in for all the ailments ana
weaknesses of it's forbears, with none
of the conpensations.
One hears constantly such phrases as
"her mother had consumption" or his
uncle drank himself to death" but
there is much less frankness in return
ing thanks for the physical Dement'S
that also come down so abundantly
from the past.
If must not be forgotten that dis
eases are not directly inherited, but
only the tendency to them. This Is d
very comfortable fact, for 1t constant
" offers a reward for well-directed
effort. If one knows from the start
which are the avenues open to danger
one is forewarned and forearmed.
Those who have that knowledge Will
NOT take the children in whose families
there have been many Instances OF
tuberculosis and shut them up in stuffy
nlaces or give them diet containing
too little fat They would be too wise
10 let the excitable child of nervous
narentage lead a life Of oyerstinulation
or be pushed in Its studies, or to offer
sins Of wine at the table to the small
boy whose father is heavy drinker.
Just as predisposition to disease
may be Inherited, so also may an alb
solute inability TO have it.. One sees
this proved by persons who pass I'M
scathed through epidemic after cpl
demic. This shows that their inherit
ed tendenc ytoward the disease, If they
have any, is so much weaker than their
inherited resistance to it that they are
virtually unable to catch 1t.
Nature herself shows constant pref
erence for the normal, and is always
working to that end; therefore a ten
dency to disease is the punishment for
disobeying her Neither is she implac-
able, so that If one will only work long
enough and hard enough to correct
ones mistakes there comes time when
nature gives clean bill of health. 1t
would be a tragic world indeed If only
the sins Of the parents were visited
upon the children.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Oldest Hou.. i. New York.

The Oldest house In New York State
Is situated at the lower end of Staten
Island In Tottenville. 1t Is known as
the "Billopp house." and was built In
1868. The Duke Of York presented
Captain Christopher Blllopp with a
tract Of land on Staten Island, where
on he built this stone mansion, which
still oyerlooks the waters of Raritan.
That 1t was well built its survival dur
ing 23S years attests- In 1t have been
many notable gatherings, and here was
held the peace conference. During the
revolution Billopp's descendants were
loyalists, and the famous generals Of
the British were entertained at the old
house.
