Chlted States and so cordial was his recep- uon here that his government made this event the subject of a special communication to the government of the United States.
 A former president of the United States was also traveller into a foreign land, al though 1t was at the time favorite subject of argument whether he stepped on foreign soil. In November 1906, President Roosevelt made his trip of inspection to Panama. He was formally received by President Amador. by officials of the government, and informally he met the president of Panama on several occasions subsequently,
 What might be called return visit of presidents was made shortly after this by President Amador of Panama, who came to the United States in November, 1907. He was not in good health however, and could not receive the attention which would otherwise have been given him. Whatever meeting took place between him and President Roosevelt of the simplest possible nature.
 These occasions have not lacked in mony, although in most cases it has been the individual travelling in quasi private capac- ity rather than the representative of a nation who was the recipient of the honors bestowed by nation upon a distinguished guest. Al though the personality of a president has always been factor in his reception. the cere- mony has been doubly impressive when he has been formally and by reconciliation invited to visit a foreign country and different people from his own. Such visits have been rare, even in America, and when they occur are of more than passing interest Especially in Latin America. too, where the people take delight in ceremony and where their artistic instinct appreciates the value of the event. an occasion of this kind becomes a wonderful agent in increasing friendship and mutual un- derstanding.
 It Is pleasant therefore to record two brilliant instances of the meeting of two great presidents of American republics, arranged as affair of state and carried out with all the pageantry for which the scenes were so we'll fitted. Reference Is made to the visit paid to the president of Brazil by the president of the Argentine Republic in August. 1899. and to the return visit paid to the president of the Argen-

Jimmy Watt and the Tea Kettle.

Jimmy Watt and the Tea Kettle.
 Long, long ago, dear children, be- fore we had any two-cent railway fares, or even any railways-and peo- pie had to get rich quick in other ways than turning the hose on rail- way stock-there was nice little boy named James Watt. But everybody called him Jimmy" Watt. And one evening Jimmy Watt was sitting in the kitchen waiting for his supper, which was to consist of some boiled eggs. His kind and loving mother had put the eggs in the tea kettle to boil. Jimmy sat and watched the steam puff from the spout of the tea kettle, and at last he slapped his hand on his knee and exclaimed:
 T could do it!'
 You could do what, Jimmy" asked his mother.
 Given the proper receptacles for the water and the proper arrangement of grates and drafts beneath the re- ceptacle, and the necessary apparatus for confining the steam, can convert the wasted power of that vapor into working units. This I can do by means of the energy of heat using the expansive force of the vapor as the medium"

 And Jimmy Watt. being an obedient lad. went to bed; but nevertheless the triple-expansion engine grew from the tea kettle
 However, we do not boil eggs in a triple-expansion engine.

The people demonstrated that their friendship and hos pitaity was as sincere and spontaneous as that of their neighbors, and the impressions of good will left on each other, however much it may be founded on sentiment, have un- doubtedly carried far-reaching consequences in the hearts of the citizens of these two republics.
 Visits of courtesy of an informal nature are becoming more and more frequent as good-felowship spreads from nation to nation. An instance well in point is seen in the pro- posed call at Rio de Janero, Brazil, of Presi- dent Montt of Chile who will pay his respects to the president of Brazil when he returns from Europe early in the coming year
 Meetings on the boundary between nations are of a somewhat different character and cannot from the very nature of the locality, be surrounded with the eaborateness of cere- mony atta.nable in nations capital. They have a worldwide significance, however. since they show that presidents can shake hands across the border and that what they like to do in bYothery affection the neighboring people will do also. Another good result of such a meeting is the direct benefit upon the people of the region through which a presi- dent travels for it brings him into touch with many persons and conditions he might not see otherwise and carries evidence to all alike that he is their executive official as we'll as that of the residents of the capital of the nation.
 Consequences of great benefit, for in. stance, followed the meeting in 1899, between

We're pretty nearly sting proof" said a banker the other day. Any time any one puts one over on us he'll have to operate with mace. Nowadays no bit of information about a clients personal character is considered too pennyroyal for us to notice it"
 The statement was called out by the pres ence on the bankers desk of a large roll Of manuscript reports, pinned together. The un. fortunate who had been made subject of an antemortem had always thought himself a pretty fair sort of a citizen. He hadn't done anything very objectionable, beyond getting stewed now and then. riding bit too fast in autos and acting a chronic host for Broad ways chorus girls, the New York correspon- dent of the Cincinnati Times-Star says. It so happened that he wanted an extension of credit and had applied to his bank for it. And the credit man did the rest
 We have here" said the banker "the usual Dun and Bradstreet reports on MT. Pla- zazus. We have highly entertaining series of clippings, in which our late client appears as the leading man in a lot of funny doings by electric light We also have statements from every man he has ever worked for and so far as possible every man he has ever done business with. And still we haven't enough. have asked for a special report upon certain phases of his activity that are not shown here Every bank in New York has been victimized at various times by men who offer us an ap- parently clean bill of health. We don't find out until it is everlastingly too late that they are sufferers from a moral pip. Nowadays man to get credit standing at a New York bank must pass an examination that would send the average deacon bowling to the woods"
 In MT. Plazazus case his request for loan was refused and he was asked to take his ac count out. Not that it wasn't sound lnan- hnf WI ho hod haap hhad by bunch of shell workers. "A man." said the bank president, who tries to get money in that way expects to profit by dishonest game. He's apt to try to hand us a queer check next time he gets hard up. That expe- rience of his proves him to be not merely a fool, but dishonest fool We can't afford to waste time on either class
