FRENCH JUNK TO Be SOLD
MANY TONS OF MATERIAL
ALONG PANAMA CANAL.
Locomotives, Cars, Rails and Ma,
chinery to Be Offered to the
Highest Bidder.

Thousands of tons of old French junk
along the line of the Panama canal have
been offered for sale to the highest bidder.
The material includes old locomotives,
dump cars, tanks, barges, boilers. sirders,
dredges, sheet iron. parts of old machin-
cry and other miscellaneous junk left on
the isthmus by the French, or accumu~
lated there since the beginning of opera
tions by the Americans a part of the
copper, brass, white metal, rails and cast
iron will be reserved, as many uses are
found for the rails, and the metals speci-
fed can be utilized 10 advantage at Cor
September 16, and as soon as satisfac-
tory contract can be entered into the ship
ment of the junk will be begun.
The great amount of machinery and
equipment that was left on the isthmus by
the French has been so thoroughly utl-
lied that, after the reservations indi-
Gated are made, what is left will be valua-
bic chiefly as scrap At Gorgona foundry
large quantity of brass, copper. white
metal and tons of cast iron have been
made over into articles useful in the canal
work. Several hundred pounds of copper
and brass have been sent to the Philadei-
phia mint to be made into canal medals.
In the locomotives left by the French the
fire boxes, fiues and staybolts are usually
OF copper, and il is estimated that there

EARS ON THEIR LEGS.
Where an Ants Grow and He Has
Six Of Them.
rom ST. Nicholas.


Strange as it may seem, an ant has at
least six ears. Aside from their null
tiplicity they are located in just about the
queerest place imaginable-on the legs
They seem deaf to all sounds made by the
vibration of the air. but detect the slight
est possible vibration OF solid material.
This is supposed to be their advan-
tage in that such things as approaching
footsteps tell more of the possibility of
danger than such sounds AS are trans
mitted through the air
So sensitive are their feet that they
detect the impact of a small birdshot
dropped on the table from a height of
about six inches and about fourteen feet
distant from an artificial nest placed at
the other end of the table
As curious as are their ears, their noses
are even more extraordinary. AS the
ants spend most Of their time in the
dark, they must depend largely on scent
for their guidance, and III consequence
have quite an elaborate array of noses,
each for special purpose.
Miss Adele Fielde believes that their
antennae are composed of a number of
noses strung along I'm line. Still more
strange is that fact that each of these
noses can smel! only q special thing.
The nose on the tip or first Joint of the
antenna, il is said. is for recognizing the
Odor of the home: the one on the second
joint Is to recognize relatives. The third
nose is the pathfinder. and without 1t the

gets hopelessly lost. The noses on the

Use for Old Rails.

OoC 1O1 Slo AsoAAo-
Old rail will be saved. because it has
proved of value as reinforcement for con-
crete. in repairing dump cars, as telephone
and telegraph poles and in various other
ways. Some Of the sixty-pound French
rail is being used in anchoring the floor
of the Gatun locks TO the earth, and 1000
tons have been collected at Empire to be
Strengthened or bent, as the engineers re-
auire, for use in the locks. All structural
I beams. channels. angles and parts that
can be used in repairing the French equip
ment now in service Will also be reserved
Decauville cars, track and locomotives will
also be retained because they are used In
all the construction divisions on hand ex-
cavation and municipal work.
Whatever profit there may be in the sale
of the old material will be small compared
with the value the French equipment has
already been in the canal work. For two
years the locomotives lsst By the French
were the only ones owned by the isthmian
canal commission. and June 30, 1906, there

were in service. but since that time the
number has decreased. French dump and
work cars were the only ones used on the
canal work in 1904, when '0S of them were
in service. June 30, 1905, over 2o00 OF
them were in service. as compared with
about 800 American-built cars Shop tools,
stationary engines. repair parts and ma
terals and supplies of all kinds were
found on tho isthmus by the Americans.
Seven ladder dredges have been rebuilt
and are now engaged in canal excavation,
and the parts of many others have been
utilized.
Much of the work done in the two years
of preparation, 1904 and 1905. would have
been impossible without the French sup
plies and equipment, as waiting for sup
plies from the states would have involved
long delays. The money value that has
been assigned to the French equipment and
supplies SO far utilized is over $1,000. 600.

No Religious Service.

From VI. \. L.
Owing to the presence of the fleet in the
Thames, Canvey Island has had a great
influx Of good class visitors. Everybody
visits the one little church with it's many
stained glass windows, which is famous
for some amazing smuggling exploits.
The present vicar. the Rev. Watson
Hagger. NJ. A.. relates how within the
last half century, before he was appoint
ed. the church was served from the main
land village of Benfeet. The bishop of
the diocese has arranged for twenty-siX
services to be conducted during the year,
intending, Of course, that they should be
held fortnightly.
Instead. however. they were held con-
secutively. SO for six months of the year
the church was never opened. Taking ad-
vantage of this extraordinary state of
things band of smugglers used the build
ing as very safe hiding place for stor-
ing kegs of rum. bales of tobacco, laces
and other contraband goods.
Some of these daring smugglers are
still living on the island.

SIXTY YEARS A HARPIST.
Rosalie Spohr Figure in Berlin's
Musical and Social Life.

FROM inc new 1urh sun
One OF the most interesting characters
in the musical life of Berlin is Rosalie
Spohr. the harpist. who Is :" niece of the
great violinist Louis SpCnr. She made
her first appearance in public on Decem-
Der -, 1919, at a concert given by Jenny
Lind. She attracted attention first be-
cause of her distinguished musical de-
scent, but after the world had once heard
her her art made her famous.
There are few women before the public
today who play the harp virtuosos, al
though one sees them occasionally in the
opera orcheStras. So it is difficult now
adays to realize that Rosalie Spohr tour
ed Europe in triumph. She found In
Franz List devoted friend and en-
thusiastic admirer and he was proud to
play with her at Wemar as we'll as give
her the benefit of his artistic advice. Her
career as public performer ended after
about six years Then she became the
wife of Count Sauerman and the stage
knew her no more. She still lives in
Berlin. more than eighty years old but
enthusiastic in her devotion to the instru-
ment with which she won the triumphs of
her brief professional ca reer. For three
hours every day she practices the harp
and her technique has for that reason
remained very complete for one of her
age. Her talent was in a measure hered-
itary. since her aunt was a well known
harpist in her day. 1t was through her
! playing that Rosalie Spohr. who had
begun her musical life as pianist, turn
! ed her attention to the harp.
| A widow for more than twenty years
| it has been her devotion to her art that
made life interesting to her during all
! this time. Her education was sound In the
first place, for she studied for two years
under the harpist Grimm. who allowed
| her to play in public at the end of that
| period. although it was one of his princi-
! pies that a harpist should study for ten
| years. Countess ROsalie has been an
| intimate friend Of the German royal
press were delighted to hear her play

actually use a number Of real toilet arti-
cles in keeping themselves clean. No less
an authority than DIR. McCook says their
toilet articles consist of coarse and fine
toothed combs, hair brushes. sponges and
even washes and soap. Their saliva is
their liquid soap. and their soft tongues
are their sponges.
Their combs. like their ears, are fas-
tened to their legs. They stop for a
hasty cleanup when they get dirty. But
a more leisurely toilet is made when they
feel in loafing mood. and they then
lend helping hand 10 one another in

Where Woman Would Be Missed.

Struck the other afternoon by the vast
preponderance-therew were at least thirty
% one-of women over men at fine con-
cert. l was set wondering what would
happen If all women suddenly determin-
ed to stand by each other, and withdraw
from charitable functions, church serv-
ices. theaters. concerts. picture shows and
so on until they got the vote.
it is very certain the arts would be
poorly supported, philanthropy would be
in a sad way, and indeed most things
would come to a standstill if women were
not energetic, kindly disposed and pos
sessed of a love OF the arts. One only
realizes how much they do and think and

A Piano With a Curved Keyboard.

In 1S40 an ingenious American inventor

ones later on, led to no practical results

now claims to have solved the problem
successfully. 4 few weeks ago he at

ent form Of the piano keyboard is not
likely to endure always is generally be-
lieved. but just what the shape of the
future is to be remains to be seen. The
Clutsam keyboard is arranged in the
form of an arc; in playing the high
or low notes the arms retain a normal
position and are just as near the body
as when occupied in the middle of the
keyboard.
