ARANGo NOT RECALLED.
Mix-up in Names Causes False
Report.

NEW YORK, July 15-Senor Arrange,
the minister from Panama, has been
put to considerable annoyance by the
publication of a story alleging that he
was to be superseded by new min
lister from Panama, Mejia Salvatore,
because of the alleged dissatisfaction
of his government over Senior Arango's
course in urging the American govern
ment to send marines to the isthmus
to preserve order and to prevent fraud
at the coming election. Mr.. Arrange
says the report is Incorrect; that there
is no such person in Panama, so far as
he is aware as Senor Mejia Salvatore,
and that his government has not ex
pressed itself as displeased with his
course.
Minister Arrange said today regard
ing the report. Dispatches alleged to
come from Washington were published
in this mornings papers to the effect
that had been recalled and that Mr.
Mejia Salvatore would soon come to
Washington to take my place. l beg
to say that the information, as well as
the comments of the dispatch, are
erroneous, and emphatically deny the
statements made therein.
II think the absurd mistake came
about by a press dispatch from Pa
mama to the effect that Minister Mejia
of Salvador had passed through Pa
mama on his way to Washington. Min
lister Mejia, the Salvadoran minister
at Washington, has been home for
some time on leave and is returning to
his post"
The officials at the Panama legation
regard the story as a joke on the news
papers.

-vAGARIEs OF THE PLUMB LINE

VAGARIES OF THE PLUMB LINE.
One of the curious things that men
of science have discovered in their in
Vulnerable efforts to measure and map
the earth with the least possible error
is the fact that there are places where
the direction of a plumb line is not
vertical. Irregularities of density in
the crust of the globe may produce
this phenomenon. A remarkable ms
tance has been found in the island Of
Porto Rico, where the deviation from
the vertical is so great that, in map
ping the island, the northern and
southern coast lines, as shown on the
older maps, had each to be moved in.

he was to plant carrot seed, and during the

So Lazy Peter, as he was called, bestirred

them most faithfully and his neatiy-kept field

The common household remedy is witch

Although the poisoning sometimes assumes
