A MUSTARD CURE.

The city authorities of Spokane,
Wash. have found a very effective
cure of the local tramp problem by
turning all members of the profession
who appear within the municipality
over to the tender mercies of the de-
partment of public works, under whose
supervision they are at once set to
work pulling the mustard which has
gained quite foothold in the vicinity
OF the railroad shops and yards Since
this plan has been put into operation
the Weary Willie tribe shun Spokane
as hen does water Where town is
not so fortunate as to have mustard
patch. municipal wood yard or stone
pile would prove a good substitute and
answer all practical purposes.

better to keep the bench who was independent
than to place there who had before hearing
committed himself even on their side of an mpor-
tant question.
A great struggle of the Anglo-Saxon race during
the last centuries has been to able, honest
and independent judiciary. When the crown was
the dispenser of patronage, when political prefer
ment and rewards came from the king the struggle
to remove the judges from the allurernents of
royal favor. In this country, where we have no
monarch and where the people are the rulers, the
struggle is and must be to place the judiciary in
position where it will be the least tempted to curry
favor with the popular majority. With profoundest
wisdom our fathers prepared Constitution for the
nation, and each State following in the path thus
laid down has also established constitution. These
constitutions become the measures of rights and
duties, the limitations the powers of government
and the guarantees of the rights of the individual
They designed to protect minority, for the
majority need no protection.
Judges are human, exposed to the same tempta-
tons that beset Others There is a not unnatural

navigator calls the Great Circle.
We are likely to forget that the
world is round when we see a
mere section of it, such as America
or Europe. For calculating dis
tances of a thousand miles or
less, we may use the fiat map,
but for greater lengths the only
accurate method is by means of
a globe, which shows the pro-
portions of the circle-which is
the shortest route. If a ship

commerce ill greatly diminish. On the other hand,
San Francisco will become the principal port of call
not only for ships bound from cities the east
of the United States to Japan and China but for the
large fleet of commerce carriers which will go from
Great Britain and other ports of Europe using the
Panama route in place of the Suez because it will be
fifteen hundred miles shorter to Shanghai, for in
stance, than by way OF the Mediterranean Sea and
Indian Ocean. By making detour of only one hun
dred and ten miles out of the transpacic pathway,
the Captain can enter San Francisco harbor, re-
penish his supply of coal and water load and unload
cargo if desired. Practically every ship passing
from the Old World to the Orient by way of Panama
will stop at San Francisco, with the exception of
those bound to Australia and New Zealand, while
Seattle and Tacoma the Puget Sound will be so
this ocean pathway that they will also become
ports of call for many craft.

feet deep, and mile in length. This statement
seems incredible; but when it is remembered that
one hundred and thirty inches of water descends

thirty feet more in depth to the water in the lock- OF
course the lock fills up the vessel steadily rises on
the surface until she thirty feet above that portion
Of the canal on which she has been moving. Then
the set of lock gates in front of her are opened and
she passes into second lock. The gates behind are
closed and water poured from above until the ship is
lifted thirty feet higher Again the operation is re-
peated but this time the ship is lifted only twenty
five feet, that when the gates in front are opened
she can float out upon this wenty-three-mile lake.
which has been made by the food waters of the
Chagres.
At its end she descends to the Pacific section of
the canal by three more locks. In passing through
them the operation is of course reversed the water
being allowed to flow out of each lock to the proper
depth, thus lowering the craft.
Never before have water elevators been designed
to raise vessels to such height with the exception
of a small lock in operation on the Trent Canal in
Canada. Here boat is raised by means of what is
called hydraulic lift to height of sixty five feet
but the lock is so small that it will accommodate
only such craft as steamers and tugboats of few
hundred tons The works at the Panama are calcu-
lated to hold ships which with their will actually
weigh fifty thousand tons, each lock being at least
nine hundred feet long and one hundred feet WIDE
But when the ship reaches the Pacific end of the
canal she must go into another lock- for the reason
that the tides of the Pacific rise to height of from

floods of the Chagres do not seem so impossible
This is one reason why ships which pass through
the canal will go up what might be called series of
mighty steps to height which will raise them no less
than eghtyfve feet above the waters of the Carib-
bean. For over twenty miles they will be elevated
at this distance above the sea, floating on lake
which will be made by great dam intended to re-
strain the floods of the Chagres and make them of
use. This dam, which will be over thousand feet
thick at the base nearly two hundred feet in height
and mile and quarter in length, will block up
valley that the water cannot escape from it except
over the top of the dam, where what the engineers
call spillway will be provided.
Just now ship will lift herself in the air is we'll
worth the telling. It will be by means of set Of
three locks Each lock will be formed of massive
walls of concrete at each end of which will be set
enormous steel gates At all times the water in a
lock will be between thirty-fve and forty feet in
depth, so that the largest steamship which now
the Atlantic could float in without danger
of grounding The vessel goes along the part of the
canal which is on level with the Atlantic and
reaches the first lock. The water in it being the
same level, when its gates opened the ship passes
into it.

fifteen to twenty feet every twen-
ty-four hours. There are times
when the waters of the Pacific will
be about on a level with the
canal. Then the end of the lock
will be opened and the vessel can
pass out; but when the ocean is
at high tide, she must be lifted
to the surface of the tide by lock
of sufficient capacity. which, of
course, is filled directly from the
waters of the ocean. This feat is
child's play. compared with the
task of raising the enormous bulk
of the modern ocean steamship
a distance which is as high as
many fve-story building.
