PANAMA AND THE CANAL.

Neither have the vast, undevelop-

Panama been estimated, nor It's
great beauty revealed to many. Bet
ter known by III repute are the
towns situated along the line OF the
railroad, whose thatch and mud
huts, crowned with lines OF horrid
buzzards. straggle irregularly along
the dirty, unpaved streets, sur
rounding all the stretches OF malaria
breeding marsh, and washed only by
the rains of heaven. This was GER
tainly true, but the wonderful work
OF the American sanitary officers
and those in charge Of construction
has so transformed this least attrac-
tive part OF the isthmus that such
conditions are now scarcely more
than memory. After all, this is
but small part of the picture. over

man. But there the necessities Of
life come too easily, and beyond a
certain worldwide shrewdness of the
small merchants in overtaxing the
stranger along the path of travel for
his temporary needs, the rest OF the
country remains as 1t has been for
centuries-unawakened, sparsely
