TIE PANAMA CANAL
Can Be Completed BY January I,
1915. Thirty-,0ur Thou
sand Men at Work.

Col. George w. Goethals, chair
man and chief engineer of the
Isthmian Canal Commission at
Nashville on Oct. 10 gave some in
teresting information as to the
progress of the canal. Barring
some unforeseen epidemic of dis
ease, the canal will be completed
by January 1, 1915, and within the
revised cost, 1915, POI 900. Presi-
dent Taft, he said. wants the work
finished by January 1, 1913. Col.
Goethals thinks it, could be done,
but he believes it is safer to stick
to the original date.
He says rains are frequent and
heavy, causing great landslides; the
country is unhealthful and that
there is the ever-present menace of
an epidemic. No man is employed
ed on the work who is not under
45 years of age, and only after a
physical examination. The Gov
eminent is spending a million dol
lars a year to kill mosquitoes, but
malaria is especially malignant ar d
throat, lung, liver and spleen dis
eases are numerous.
To dig a ditch fifty miles long
and forty-fve feet deep under such
adverse conditions is gigantic
undertaking. The failure of France
to dig the canal was due to finan-
cial matters, and to illness and dis
ease. The United States is work
ing under better conditions, having
expended millions of dollars for
sanitation. Thirty -four thousand
men are at work.
The total excavation for Septem-
Der was 2,S36,3S5 cubic yards
against 2,755,17S cubic yards in

Abraham Barrle, never telling OF the loss

never confessing to have been taken in In

withal the simplest seeming yeoman in
the shire, and to all appearance governed

After his fathers death, Rourke Trcn-

place to Rourke, and his uncle's hearty
welcome and honest affection were sweet
to the lads heart, though he could not yet
guess half the riches of the mans warm
love.
Mr.. Bartle, though an early riser, had
not left his room on the morning after

unusual signs of life and motion beneath

Lord RedesdaIe once gave a descrlp-
ton Of Whistler's methods to a meet
ing in London in support of a memo
rial to the great artist. He was paint
ing. he said, a portrait OF a lady.
Whistler took up his position at one
end OF the room with his sitter and
the canvas at the other end For A
long time he stood looking at his model,
holding in his hand a huge brush full
OF color, such a brush as a man would
use to whitewash a house. Then he
rushed forward inc smashed the brush
full of color into the canvas. Then he
ran back, and forty or fifty ines he
repeated this. At the end Of that
time there stood out on the canvas
space which exactly indicated the fig
ure, the form and the expression of
the sitter. There was a pathetic story
attaching to the picture. The baili6s
were in the house when the picture
was finished. That was quite q COM
NOR occurrence, and Whistler only
laughed, but he went round his studio
with a knife and deliberately destroyed
all his %canvases, including this picture,
which was to have been his (LoEd

Paper from Corn-sfaIk..

Uncle Sans busy chemists in Wash
ington have decided that cheap paper
can be made from corn-stalks. We
have long known that wrapping paper
Is manufactured out of old rags, that
the back fence can be turned into per-
fuined and tinted stationery, and that
newspapers are made of primeval for
ests and damaged regulations. Now
they tell us that a common rural null
tarce is an asset-that some day every
farmer "a be his own paper trust.
This proposition from Washington Is
music to our ears. The disappearance
Of I'LL forests and the Vaccinations Of
the Paper Trust have made the price
OF paper soar like a Wright aeroplane.
At the rate we are going now paper Is
destined to be beyond the reach Of or
binary mortals-paper railroads will
cost more than real ones, and paper
soled shoes will be a luxury which only
the rich a enjoy. II something isn't
done about it, a day may come when
the Sunday newspaper will be nj larger
than the atlas OF the world, and maya
zines will cost SO much to get out that
there will be no room for the advertise
n,en.s.
