which persons whose corpses were
found on the Guinness farm met their
deaths was unearthed this morning.

have been the chief weapon employed

Biology and the Canal.

At the recent meeting of the Ameri.
can association for the advancement
of science, in Chicago, attention was
called to the interesting fact that the
work on the Panama canal is chang.
ing biological conditions in Panama,
and that its completion will enable
the fresh-water fauna OF the Atlantic
and Pacific slopes to intermingle. I'm
doubtedly, many marine animals will
pass from n ocean. to the other.
Thus a permanent change of condi'
lions will be brought about, which
may or may not possess much prac'
tical Importance; but its scientific in
terest is very great. In view of these
facts, the association resolved to urge
upon congress the necessity of an i'm
