down town by a different way in the

who hasn't seen the block across the

Drons Ten Stories.

Wright Brothers, a red squirrel from
Panama that is owned by Leo C. stern,
a lawyer fell from the tnl a 8aoil
building, Is William street, to the
roof of an adjoining building, ten stor-
les below, and escaped without a brok-
en- bone or bruise Thursday. Stern
was wondering whether his pet could
make a safe drop from the top OF the
Metropolitan building tower to the
sidewalk in Madison avenue when an
ton of Cruelty to Animals, summoned
by girl stenographers, entered his Of
flee. Stern agreed to remove the little
Panama aviator to his country home.
The squirrel arrived here several
days ago on the Hamburg-American
liner Prinz Joachim from Panama. Its
possessor was a client of Stern He
carried the squirrel to Storms office
change Bank building and presented
it to the lawyer. Stern had no cage, so
he put it under the basket. 1t gnaw-
ed its way out yesterday. The office
ed up their skirts, took refuge on
chairs and began screaming for help.
That frightened the squirrel. 1t went
out of the window and climbed the
vail to The thirteenth floor. There it
sent the girls in Robert MorrelPs law
office into screaming Marathon.
Their cries aroused part of the fin
ancial district. Hundreds of persons ran
to windows to ascertain the cause OF
the disturbance.
The squirrel chung to the wall near
the Morel window Charles Schneider, |
a detective on the twelfth floor of the
Lords Court building, realized that
the animal must fall to the roof, ten
stories below. He ran to an elevator
and started for the roof. Before he
could reach it the squirrel released his
hold on the wall whirled over and
over, and finally landed on it's soft, |
bushy tail. The animal bounced up a
foot, and then dropped gracefully to |
all-fours. schneider captured it and |
restored It to it's owner.-New York |

1t is bit Of the proVerbiai irony OF
fate that man whose activities once
and for some years commanded the
keeneSt interest of the diplomatic ana
technical worlds should go to his
grave with only a few lines of per
functory notice in the news of the
day. eYt that has recently been the
lot of the man who in sense above
all others blaZed the way for the Pan
anna aCnal, who provoked the eontro-
versy between America and France
over that undertaking, who brought
De Lesseps to the isthmus and opened
the way for the colossal debacle OF
'PanamaiSm," and thus un1ntentlon-
ally but not altogether indirectly, fore
Swallowed the American assumption OF
the enterprise which had been penang
since the days of Herando Cortez. II
SaaVedra Ceron was the promoter or
the Panama Canal in earliest times, II
would not be easy to name any one pct
ter entitled to the distinction in our
own day than Lucien Napoleon Bona
parte Wyse.
Lucien distinguished himself early in
life by his explorations in the writings
concerning Chile, Argentina, Patagon-
Ia, and the Strait of Magellon. Them
in 1875. he became interested in Pan
anna.
Wyse's plans were found to be faulty

most disastrous failure in history. Yet
it was because of Wyse's enterprise
and enthusiasm that the French began
work at Panama, and it was because
of what they did there that the Uni
ted States went to Panama instead of
to icaragua-because it was believed
that there alone it was possible to full
fill Wyse's grandiose SCENE of sea-
level canal. Wyse's book on The Pan
anna Canal was crowned by the
French Academy at about the same
time that De Lesseps was elected to
that body, and was hailed by Leon
Gambetta as LIE Grand Francois.
and, despite the cloud which fell upon
him only a few years later, when the
Panama failure convulsed France, he
will be remembered as one of the
most energetic, resourceful, and eff
Gent of all the long line of promoters
who during four centuries sought to
connect the two seas with an isthmian
