Recent Cavein Along Panama
Canal Discussed bY GoethaIs

NEW YORK, March 27.-Colonel
Goethals left for the canal zone late
tonight on the steamer Advance. Just
before it sailed he alluded to the re-
cent cavein along the line of the Pan
anna railroad near Gatun and declared
that the slide could not be held in any
way to indicate danger to the dam con-
struction. The railroad slide was due
to a swamp" said Colonel Goethals,
which does not reach anywhere a
point nearer than mile and a half
to the dam. I am just as certain now
as ever that the Gatun dam structure
has soil that will be able to support

HAWAIIAN BOYS SUN STORY
How He Cast Moose Around One Of
the Golden Beams to Dry His
Mothers Mats.

Do you know why the sun seems to
go slower at certain season of the
year? If you should ask a little Ha-
waiian boy this question he would
probably tell you in answer an old,
old story-one he heard from his
grandfather, who in turn had had it
from his. And the story would doubt
less run somewhat after this fashion:
Mauis mother made mats. Each day
she spread them in the sun to dry.
They did not dry quickly, for the
warm, dry beams shone down into
that mountain-walled valley, only lit
tie while each day and the hard-work-
ing mother had cause for much COM
plant. Maui listened a long time
to her scolding. Then he decided to
make the sun slow up.
First he climbed the highest noun
tain in the neighborhood. From its
topmost peak he gazed and gazed
watching the old sun determinedly
sliding across the sky. He say that
it passed directly overhead. This
was what he wanted
In a certain part of the valley were
many cocoanut trees. Maui cut them

him with a hooking face as he
worked.
'Oh,'' jeered the boy, thou canst
never catch the sun. What art thou !?
An idle nobody. Ha, ha, hal" And
his sneering lips parted until his white
teeth could be seen.
When 1 have conquered my enemy
and my desire is fulfilled returned
Maui, quietly, 81 will be your death"
Now he reascended the mountain.
Just as the sun swan overhead Maui
cast moose of his rope around one of
the large golden beams. A quick jerk
and the beam snapped off.
Hal" rejoiced Maui, Thou art now
my captive. 1 will kill thee for 60
ing so swiftly"
Let me Iive,'' pleaded the poor sun.
Let me live, and thou shalt see me
go more slowly hereafter. Behold, hast
thou not broken off all my strong legs,
and left me only the weak ones?
At this Maui relented. He returned
to the village, where he straightway
sought out the youth who had taunt-
ed him. The youth was afraid, and
ran. Over stream and hill Maui sped
in pursuit. At last he overlook him,
and slew him. The lifeleses body
changed into a long rock, and may
still be seen lying by certain road
side. AS for the sun, it has ever aft
erward limped more slowly at one sea-
son of the year.

WOMEN IN FIELD OF SCIENCE
Margaret HuddIeson, a Kansas City
Girl, Gives Instructions on
Fruit Raising.

Observation-Disclosures through the
huge white marble buildings of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, one sees many women, in neat
white aprons some of them mere
girls, bending over microscopes and
test tubes. Their activities seem very
mysterious; but when one inquiries,
one learns that they are engaged in
original research work relating in
one way or another to farming or
gardening.
The case of Miss Alice Henkel, a
botanist in the plant bureau, is note
worthy, if only for the reason that
she entered that establishment orig
inally in an ordinary clerical ca
pacity as a stenographer and type
writer. That was only a few years
ago. when, mere girl, she came to
Washington from Cincinnati. But she
was the inheritor of scientific aptitude
from a family in which there had been
many searchers after exact truth in
botanical and other lines, and she
quickly took up plant study as a pro-
fessional pursuit
Miss Henkel though still a young
woman, is the author of a number of
scientific bulletins already issued by
the plant bureau One of these is on
the subject of Weeds" Another is
on Drug Plants''-this latter subject
being one to which she has devoted
special attention Up to the present
time more matter of hers has been
published by the government than
from the pen of any other woman.
Miss Margaret Huddleson is an
other young woman scientist in the de-
partment of agriculture She halls
from Kansas City, Mo- Not long ago
she took high degree at college of
medicine, and is now a full ffedged
doctor. This she did in the intervals

her benefactions In the aid of higher
education

LII EYES now are turned on Mrs
n Hartman, who has mounted the
throne left vacant by her hus-
band and holds the reins of his power
almost completely.
Mrs. Hartman was Miss Mary Av-
erell, daughter of the late W. j. Aver
ell, banker of Rochester, N. Y She
has railroad antecedents, for her faith
er built up his tidy fortune in the

years of married life was ideally hap

band financial aid in his early strug-
giles in the market 1t was assistance
which came when it was most valua-
BILE to him. He never needed it again,
for his administrative ability soon
won him the support of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co, the National City bank and the
powerful Standard Oil clique There
after the help of his wife did not lie
in the line of financial assistance.
On Mrs. Harriman's shoulders now
will rest the management of the 43,-
600 acres of the Arden estate, the COM
pletion of the great house on which
Hartman had spent S2,00O,0O0 without
living to see it finished. 1t is possible
that Mrs. Hartman will carry out in
detail those plans of public benefac-
tion-parks, forests and reservations
which it is known Mr.. Hartman
cherished, though he makes no men,
ton of them in his will.
1t has been pointed out that, by
making no requests to children or rel
atives, Mr. Hartman avoided a large
share of the enormous Inheritance tax
which, under the laws of New York,
otherwise would be imposed. Mrs.
Harriman's dover rights are subject
to no tax whatever, and the remaining
two-thirds of the estate to a tax OF
only one per cent, as against a graded
classification which in some instances
runs to five per cent
