possibilities fer their wares in various
fields. In the year 1896 the bureau re-
ceivea 1000 letters of inquiry: in 1857. It re-
cetved 1900. a comparison that shows the
admirable growth OF the work Ten years
ago the trade Of the United States with
its American neighb0rs amounted 10 only
third OF a billion dollars. Compare this
with last years trade OF 4 billion dollars
and allow the Bureau OF the American
Republics a goodly share Of credit for
the phenomenal Increase.
Tourists or business men going TO any
Of the republics in Central or South
America appeal TO the bureau for the
best routes 10 travel, for one OF the aims
OF the institution is 10 encourage travel
between the nations, whether for bust
ness or pleasure. Believing that the edu-
cational spirit OF the republics would be
broadened and bettered by intercourse
with each other. the bureau has planned
a scheme for the exchange OF representa-
tive scholars and publicists between the
nations. Il has likewise put forth a
strong plea for the introduction OF the
Spanish and Portuguese languages in the
curricula Of the schools OF the United
those Of South America. IL has provided
the leading colleges and universities OF all
the republics with lists OF books that
give information regarding the political
historical, intellectual. and material
progress Of each country
The history Of the Pan-American Bu-
reau is short when measured In years.
but infinitely long when measured in
achievements. Through its influence the
winged god Of commerce has far out
stripped the stately pace Of the solar
year and has hurried the various repub-
lies along at a dizzy pace toward the
worlds markets In October 1880, the
first international conference OF Ameri-
can republics was held in Washington.
James G. Blaine. then Secretary Of State
presiding. Resolutions were passed es-
tablishing the bureau for mutual help
When the second conference was held, in
Mexico in 1901, resolutions were passed
continuing the bureau. but il was at the
third conference, In Rio Janeiro in 1906
that the institution was enlarged 20 its
present scope and was placed on the per-
manent basis that makes it such an i'm
portant and world-acknowledged factor
In the commerce and friendly intercourse

EXHIBIT or WORK OF BLIND
Columbia POlytechnic Institute
Gives Object Lesson to Public.
SeIf-reliance OF Students shown in
LsbOrs Accomplished Under
Competent Instruction.

In an effort to force a realization upon
the people Of Washington Of the dignity
OF the work accomplished by the blind
students of Columbia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, 1903 II street northwest, an exhibit
ton is being held at the institute for
several days.
F. f. Cleaveland, secretary, has thrown
the building open 70 all in order that
those who are interested may see the
self-reliant blind people perform tasks
that equal in skill the product of their
more fortunate brothers.
At the institution a fully equipped print
shop is conducted. Besides job work, a
monthly magazine. a quarterly publica-
ton, and numerous religious journals are
edited. published, and circulated through
out the country.
It is by this means that the Columbia
Polytechnic Institute is enabled TO be
self-sustaining, at the same time 10 pre-
sent its cause before the world
BY means of the Braille writer. de-
vice for reproducing the raised system OF
dots. by which the sightless are enableed
to read, books are written. and music is
taught by blind persons.
Equally noteworthy Is the manner in
which women operate sewing machines.
make garments, as well as set type.
The mission Of the institution as ex-
planned by Mr.. Cleaveland. who Is totally
blind himself. is TO equip self-reliant
blind people to become managers and su-
perintendents of much needed workshops
for the blind yet TO be established
throughout the country
Whether this hope is realized or not,
says he. 'the cause OF the adult blind has
already been greatly helped by the dis
appearance from the streets OF the Ma
tional Capital Of the blind mendicants
who, making capital OF their misfortune.
besought aims from the passer-by, there
by serving 20 confirm the public in its
wrong and harmful notion that the blind
are necessarily untitled 10 follow any self
sustaining industry"
The establishment at 1905 II street north
west is said 20 be a model OF its kind
The sightless come there every day and
perform their duties. After their daily
routine. they retire 10 their respective
homes much the same as any department
clerk.
Miss Deborah Swami. the only person
connected with the institution who is not
blind, acts as general secretary.

This deserved apotheOSis of the bureau
among all international organizations is
due 10 the acumen OF Ellhu Root. Secre-
tary Of State. He looked farther into the
future than most busy men have time TO
do. and saw, as did the dreamer in
Locksley Hall. "argosies Of magic sails.
pilots Of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales" and, being a
typical American, he knew that success
meant combining dreams and reality, and
so set about directing these future ar
gosies toward American ports. He has
dreamed that the United States must at
tain even greater commercial supremacy,
must grow bigger, wider, and more toll
Grant along educational and political lines.
and through the Pan-American Bureau
he sees the greatest opportunities for
making his dreams come true
II Elihu Root was the inspiration of
the Bureau of the American Republics.
John Barrett is its realization. When
the governing board in December, 1906
chose a director to succeed Williams c.
Fox, who had been appointed Minister to
Ecuador, the unanimous choice fell on
John Barrett, then United States Minis
ter 10 COLOMBIA. A man OF liberal edu-
cation, OF boundless information on inter
national affairs, Of interchangeable zeal, and
marvellous tact, he is possibly the one
man that birth. talent. and training
have fitted for the responsible place. He
had proved living exemplifcation OF the

the time President Cleveland sent him on
delicate mission into Siam-the young
est man who ever represented the United
states as minister 10 a foreign court.
These natural acquired attributes. coupled
with descent from stanch New England
Revolutionary stock have made him a
typical American.

STORY oE rHE JORDAN.

The storm Wednesday night broke
up the congregation at the tent befor,
the service had fairly begun and the
rain yesterday morning made it nee
essary to call off the meeting at thai
time. Last night Evangelist Boon de-
livered his famous lecture on THE
River Jordan II is more famous than
the Tiber, the Ganges, the Nile, the
Amazon or the Mississippi, not because
of It's size or commercial Importance
but solely on account of its assocla-
tions with the greatest events in the
annals of time. It's head springs, in
number, character and surroundings.re-
semble those of the San Marcos. A
few miles below its source il drops
down TO the lake of Merom, on a level
with the sea and from there TO its
debouchure into the sea of Gallilee II
flows through a narrow tortuous valley
or "crevice" in the surface of the land.
On the shores of the sea OF Gallilee,
$50 feet below she sea level, Jesus
spent the greater part of his time and
did many of his wonderful works
From the sea of Gallilee to the Dead
sea is a straight line is about 60 miles
but the course of the river is very SER
pentine and the descent is about 600
feet more, making a total of nearly
1900 feet below sea level. This is the
deepest depression on the surface of
the earth. The waters of the Jordan
are pure and sweet but no living thing
can survive In the waters of the Dead
Sea, surcharged as they are with
earthly salts in solution and so dense
that the human body floats easily on
the surface. DR.. Boon related a number
OF incidents. among them he described
how he baptized a Pennsylvania lady
at the same place where Jesus was
baptized.
Supplementary to the main topic
DR.. Boon gave a brief sketch of the
topography of Paletine in general.
