Delay of Years.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. "A report
reached here today from Colon, Panama,
that subterranean lake found under
the site of one of the proposed big
locks of the Panama canal at Gatun,
will result in a delay of several years
in completing the canal and a much
larger outlay of money than at first
anticipated.
According to this report, the discov.
cry OF the lake has been kept secret,
Engineers who are said to know OF
the discovery declined to discuss the
matter during the absence of Colonel
Goctbals, who is in the United States.
The report that subterraneau lake
has been discovered beneath the site
of the locks at Gatun, on the Isthmus
OF Panama, was given no credence at
the offices of the isthmian canal COM
mission here today. There are in this
city complete records of the borines
that have been made at Gatun, show.
ing that over 1000 such borincs. COW
ering the entire area that will form the
foundation for the locks. have been
made, with the result that rock has
been struck at all points. The report
that there has been recent change of
plans of the canal TO conform will the
changed condition brought about by the
discovery of the subterranean lake, il
is stated, brands the story as without
foundation, as no change could take
place without the approval of congress,

A VILLAGE Utopia.
From the London Globe


An agricultural village in which half
the houses are on the telephone, where
the cottages can ring up the shop
keepers in the neighboring towns and
order their stores without taking the
journey, where the village school has
been transformed into a paradise which
Is to the children a perpetual joy,
where there are motor cars for the
teachers and motor launch for the
youngsters-it sounds like News from

from Tewkesbury. The village until
the advent of the present owner was in
the tumbledown condition which is.

old, inefficient style, and the villagers

are studying agriculture under COM

the village school, and after a hard
fight with the education authorities the
reformers persuaded them to allow the
whole school to be run on true federal,
principles. Two trained teachers from
the Froebel educational institute have
been brought from London, and the
whole teaching up to the history
