AN OCEAN
ACCIDENT

Los Angeles, Nov. 22.-With the ar
rival here last night of one hundred
and eighty three passengers of the
steamer st. Croix, who spent Satur-
day night on a desolate beach after
a timely escape from the burning ves-
sci. the facts of a mysterious sea
catastrophe began to develop.
The St. Crolx runs between San
Francisco and Santa Monica. There
are strong suspicious that the fire
was of incendiary origin but nothing
has developed to substantiate this
theory. Apparently the fire started
somewhere near the second cabins.
near the liquid ammonia pipes. These
pipes had been damaged shortly after
leaving San Pedro and the fumes
were so overpowering that no one
could get near enough to fglt the
fire.

REPORT OF THE PANAMA
CANAL COMMISSION

Washington. Nov. 22.-The report
OF the Isthmian Canal Commission
for the fiscal year ending June 80.
1909. was filed with the War Depart
nent today. Ii was quite voluminous
and goes at length into facts regard
ing the Panama Canal and the Canal
Zona.
BY the report it is shown that
while the estimated cost of tAe Can
al as originally reported by the en-
gineers was S144.233.35s. 1t is now
estimated that the total cost will
reach the enormous sum of s375.766.-
900, including the purchase price.
The extra cost is attributed by the
report TO the increased rate of living
in the United States and the necessa-
ry increased wage scale. To this also
was added the burden imposed by the
eignt-hcur law, which was made ap-
plicable TO the Isthnus. Also a num-
ber of additions TO the original plans
were made.
During the year 1.466 persons In
the United States were rendered en-
ploynent on the Isthmus 1888 ac-
capted and were appointed. covering
15S different positions, of which num-
ber 754 reported on the Isthmus and
were assigned to duty.
Tie disbursing division paid vouch-
ers for materials and services aggrs-
ga ing $15,311.0 .021.12.
The total amount of purchase ord
ers placed during the year was for
$16.536.130.42.
The health conditions on the 18TH
mus are reported by the chief sani-
tary officer as showing an improve
ment over the preceding year. The
total number of admissions of en-
ployes TO hospitals and sick camps.
including those sick in quarters, a.
mounted to 46.l94, representing for
the year 23.49 as the number OF men
sick daily out of every thousand
names On the pay rolls, as against
1855 for the preceding year. The
number of deaths was $50. and assu.n-
ing that the average number Of names
on the pay rolls for the various
months during the year amounted to
4i.26l, the number of deaths would
be equivalent to a death rate of 11.97
per Thousand, as against 1882 for the
preceding year.

Ire laps as Jokers.

In the days of the second empire Baron Gros was sent to Japan to de- mand the opening of certain ports to French commerce. Among the rest he named to the Japanese ministers cer- tain city. The Japanese ftnctionaries smiled so broadly when he preferred the request that the French ambassa- dor asked them to tell him what gave them so much amusement, but instead of answering the Japanese ministers said:
 We will open the port in question, my lord. if France in her turn will open a certain port to us."
 ssWkat port is that" asked the Frenchman.
 The port of Liverpool"
 .'But. your excellencies," laughing. Liverpool is not a French port, but an English one"
 Yes." answered the Japanese, "and the port you named is not in Japan. but in Korea"
 The French ambassador was com pelled to admit that the joke was against him.-London Answers.

A Lost Eco.

The Right Hon. Augustine. Birrell once believed that he had been smit- ten with a mortal disease and went to consult a distinguished doctor who lived in the neighborhood of Harley street and who was great expert on the disease of which he thought he was victim. It was hot day in July, and as he walked, from his London home, which was in the neighborhoOd of Addison road, to Harley street he perspired freely.
 He found the great physicians rooms all crowded with patients probably, he thought, suffering from a similar complaint to himself.
 While waiting be found on the table a book written by the great physician on the subject of the particular dis ease. He opened the book, and the first words which caught his eye were these: "The patient. who is suffering from this disease never perspires."
 He had Scotch blood in his veins, so hs picked up his hat and gloves and walked out, and he never saw that eminent physicfan.--London Scraps.

The Submarine Crew.

Not until you have gone down in a submarine and seen the crew at work can you say you have seen the limit to which 1t is possible to drill human creatures. No crack company of regi- ment, no fire company in any of our big cities. not even the engine force on a man-of-war. is under such discipline as the crew of submarine. The navy department and the men themselves realize that months are required before even the most capable group of ten can be made to work as a unit, perfect as ciockwork. There is no time to break in'' crews when once war is de clared, and for this reason the subma- rine service is continually and inces- sanity in war practice. Practice runs in the ordinary sense do not exist Each time the boat stands out to sea she goes az if for business, the scenes you see being exactly like those that would be enacted were the vessel bent upon actually sinking an enemy.-St Nicholas.

Senses of lnsecss.

Insects guide theLnGeives in flight all most entirely and on the ground partly by means of their ftpceted eyes. The antennae and the buccal sensory or gans cannot help in aesial steering.
 Insects perceive the motion of ob- jects particularly well-I. e., the dis placements of visual images relatively to the compound eye. They therefore see better when on the wing than at rest, for during flight the image of inn mobile objects is displaced relatively to the eye.
 Insects distinguish the contours and forms of objects only more or less in distinctly.
 Insects appreciate the direction and distance of objects very clearly during flight by the aid of their compound eyes. They can also appreciate, even when at rest, the distance of immobile objects.
 Certain insects (bees. bum mblebees> distinguish color clearly and recognize colors better than forms. Among others (wasps) the perception of color appears, on the contrary. to be very udimentary-"Senses of Insects"

A Story of Father Mathew.

~Father Mathew was the most lov- ing and lovable of human beings" and in the light of this statement found in biography of the famous Irish priest by Mrs. Katherine Tynan Hinkson two incidents of his crusade for tenn perance in the north of Ireland should be read.
 At Clones, in Ulster, there were two Orange flags raised when he visited 1t. Instead of considering it as an 1n- suit, he thought 1t very great com plinaent, never having seen one. or been honored with one before When he SEW them he called for three cheers for the Orange flag. Commenting on this, an Irish writer says:
 "A Catholic priest calling for cor dial salutation of the Orange banner and 6 Catholic assembly heartily re- spending was something almost incon- ceivable. It had never occurred before in Ireland. I'm afraid 1t has never oc- cured since"
 For the time being there were good will and friendly feeling from one end of Ulster to the other. One recruit who knelt for Father Mathews bless ing said:
 You wouldn't be blessing me if you knew what am."
 And what are you, my dear?" Fla ther Mathew called men, women and children "my dear"
 T am an Orangeman, your rever- ence"
 "Why, God bless you,1 my dear. I wouldn't care if you were a lemon mann'
