pardoned for saying that l believe
that all the criticism against the plans

effort or architectural skill to con-
struct them.
The cities of Panama and Colon,
while within the ten mile zone &C.
CURED by the United States from
Panama. were neither of them taken
over and are still Panamaian cities,
except in the matter of sanitation and
quarantine. In these matters this
Government has supreme authority
and in both respects the rights are
rigidly enforced. Within the last
two or three years complete trans
formation has taken place in both
cities. Where short time ago the
streets were impossible on account
of mud and filth. we now find macad-
amized streets and cement sidewalks.
Ninety percent of the work planned
for paving streets has been carried
out and complete system of santa
tion is in force. The water is of
good quality and is brought from res
ervoirs several miles in the interior.
These reforms have met with stub

going from Colon on the Atlantic
side to Panama on the Pacific side of
the lsthmus. one should go in a
southeasterly direction, in view of
the fact that the general course Of
the Isthmus is north and south; but
the truth is Panama is some distance
east of Colon, and is accounted for by
the fact that at this point in the
lsthmus there is bend or curve, so
that it actually runs east and west.

Rats, Gas and Books.
rom the Manchester Guardian.


The rats which have been giving such
trouble at the Leeds public library are
only bearing out their ancient reputation
as enemies of books. Our Manchester Ii
brary, fortunately. has never been greatly
troubled by rats. although there have
been milder incursions of mice. Rats love
scraps of old leather binding and soft
old paper to line their nests with. In a
glass case in the chapter house at West
minister you may see some antique rat
bones and yellow bits Of paper. This is
their history: Two centuries ago a family
of rats made their nests in a hole in the
wall of the dean and chapters library,
lining it with plunder from the books.
Tho rats were walled up alive, and their
remains were discovered only a few years
ago.
In Manchester gas has proved a far
worse enemy of books than rats. Thou
sands of leather bindings on tho higher
shelves at King street have been ruined
crumbled to the consistency Of snuff by
the sulphur in the gas-laden air. Gas at
tacks russia bindings first; calf and mo-
rocco suffer not quite so badly. In the
King street library Gas in all modern IL
braries) gas is now superseded by electric
light. The bookworm is written of more
than seen. Unlike the rat. 1t does not
touch parchment; hence the immunity of
the pre-paper books. Even the common
house fly does good deal of harm.

PADGETT BREAKS A LEG.
Desperate Attempt of Court Pris
oner to Escape.

Charles Padgett. forty-eight years of
age, made a desperate effort to escape
from the Juvenile Court this morning
while in the building waiting for his name
to be called to answer an attachment for
contempt. He left the building by leaping
from a second-story window. falling upon
some broken bricks in the yard and sus-
tanning a fracture of his left leg. Mrs.
Padgett, his wife, who had complained
against him for nOn-support, was one Of
the first persons to reach him. She be-
came excited and hysterical and followed
him to the hospital.
There are no bars across the windows
of the room in which adult prisoners are
kept, and Padgett, it was stated at the
court today, was the third man to make
an effort to escape from there.
II wish 1 had killed myself" he NUT
tered when picked up by Policeman
Beauregard and others to be removed to
the hospital.
Padgett lives at 10 Minnesota avenue,
Anacostia, and has been before the court
several times for failure to contribute Sc
week to the support of his wife and
children. 1t was said at the court that
he has been in the workhouse more than
once and his fear of being returned there
caused him to make the effort to escape.
The incident caused considerable excite
ment about the building, and it is be-
leved Judge De Lacy may have bars
placed in the room to prevent repetition
of the incident.
