Good News from Panama.

Maj Goethals is happily able to supply
the most cheering news that has come
from the construction gang at Panama
since the initiation Of the canal work.
II is that construction and excavation
are proceeding so rapidly that the funds
appropriated by Congress Tor the current
year viii be insufficient to keep the en-
tire force employed. In this unexpected
emergency IT is suggested that some
s. 10000 in excess Of the current appro-
priation be expended In carrying forward
the work This does not mean that
money IS being wasted. for the work is
being conducted more economically than
ever, but 1t is asserted that true economy.
in both time and money. demands that
the canal force shall be kept employed
and the great enterprise pushed forward
as rapidly as possible.
Notwithstanding the entirely proper op-
position of Congress 10 the practice OF
creating departmental deficiencies with
out warrant OF law, it is 10 be hoped
that a way may be found to meet the
emergency at Panama II would be
absurd 20 allow work on the canal TO be
delayed for a merely technical lack Of
funds. At ali events. Maj. Goethals is
to be congratulated on the success which
has attended his labors as chief en-
gineer. a success which fully justiies the

4 Bas the Nature Fakers!

Those who thought that President
Roosevelt was going TO remain silent uO-
der the somewhat scathing denunciation
of Rev. DR.. Long seem TO have overes-
timated the patience of Mr.. Roosevelt
Not for him premature newspaper inter
views contradictng Or. Long. He has
bided his time. and now, in the September
issue Of Everybody's Magazine, he returns
TO the charge.
To what he says there IS an editorial
note prefxed. declaring that the Presi-
dent had no intention Of taking part in
the controversy further, but learning that
a symposium OF the subject was 10 be
published, he decided 10 allow the maga-
zine to publish a note on the subject
which he had intended to append 10 a
forthcoming volume Of his public papers.
The President finds words of praise for
many writer's on nature subjects, but for
the modern nature faker" he has moth
Ing but hard words And then-bin! Dr.
Long gets it right from the shoulder:
"of all these 'nnture-fakeTs' the most reckless
and least responsible is Mr.. Long; but there are

the evidence Of one George Shiras, which
testimony is TO the effect that at the time
Dr. Long was following wolves in New
1oundland for weeks they were practically
extinct.
Mr.. Roosevelt attacks a number of
other nature-faking stories: one in par
ticular about a woodcOck which dressed
its own broken leg, and another trick by
a Baltimore oriole, which. the President
says, is precisely as possible as that a
Rocky Mountain pack rat can throw a
diamond hitch"

Art in America.

For the most part there IS bitter hos
tility among artists and art lovers in
Europe 10 the purchase of notable col
lections and single works Of art by Amer
3can millionaires for private museums and
public institutions in this country. But
there are some far-sighted foreign artists
who DO not view the steady expectation
OF their works OF art with alarm. and Of
this sort IS NJ. L Rvger-BIiles. who has
made known his views in the Paris Fig
arO IN an article on French Decorative
Art IN the United States"
This writer's text is taken from the re-
cent purchase by Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan
Of the elaborate collection OF works Of
art made by George Hoentschel, and
which has been purchased. so It is under
stood. for presentation TO the Metropoli-
tan Museum OF New York. This coHec-
tion IS the fruit Of twenty-five years of
loving and intelligent labor, and it Will
be brought 10 New York and displayed
precisely as Mr.. Hoentschel himself ar
ranged 1t IN his home in Paris. 1t con-
sists for the most part Of a number Of
illustrations of architectural decoration,
covering a period Of six centuries Of the
development OF art in France. Says NJ.
Roger-Aiiles.
Beautiful. precious. and useful as it is, I ana
glad TO think that the Americans who are beginning
10 produce decoative art themselves win go 20 cor
template these marvels in order 70 educate their
eyes aud refine their esthetic sense We must con-
gratulate ourselves the fact. then. that nothing
prevented the departure Of the S5oOdd cases which
carried this splendid collection 70 Amcriea-it was
six centuries Of national art which went over
70 the New World TO teach it what are france and
beauty.
That is indeed sane and hopeful view
TO take. II is. IN = sense, the same view
We should take when we view the peas

ment, and so make for the betterment OF
the whole world
Although vast sums haYr been paid for
collections of works of ar from Europe
the lnroads on the art collections there
are so slight as scarcely to be felt. There
still remain in the galleries and museums
of Paris, Rome, Florence, and other art
centers enough masterpieces TO inspire
the nations.
But one phase Of this constant importa-
tion Of art for public purp,ees that might
well be considered by art lovers in this
country is the crying need for the estab-
lishment Of a National Museum OF Art
here at the Nations Capital. Whatever
sum such a building and its up-keep
might cost would be repaid a thousand
fold by the stimulus It would give the
artists OF America.

p0rtance OF caring for the teeth OF school
children. He said that 20 per cent Of the
school attendance In England showed
decayed teeth. and he advocated the ap-
pointment OF a school dentist who should
make regular Inspections. He thinks
this would save untold misery IN future
years. and would do much for the general
health He also advocated the employ
