Work of Steam shoueIs.

Steam shovel records on the Panama
canal were recently broken by a 95-ton
machine, which took out 55,419 cubic
yards of soft rock .at Gorgona in 25
working days. About the same time a
75-ton shovel took out 22,O2S yards Of
earth and 20,333 yards Of rock in 26
days, according to the Canal Record
The former shovel has fve-yard dip
per and the latter a 2h-yard dipper
All shovels are kept under steam for
eight hours a day, but are not actually
worked during this period steadily,
owing to the necessity of moving them
forward. blasting large stones and
bringing up cars.

ORIGIN Of Names Of Breeds.

Spaniels were so called because the
original breed of this type came from
Spain. The Blenheim spaniel got his
name from Blenheim palace. where
this dog first gained popularity in the
time of the great duke of Marlborough.
In the same way the King Charles
spaniel owes its name to the merry
monarch. Fox terriers did not gain
their names from a likeness to the
fox, but from the fact that formerly
they were used in hunting foxes.
Many years ago they were sent by
their masters down the foxs burrow
to draw and kill their quarry. 1t was
in those days saying that a good fox
terrier never came out of a burrow
without the fox. He either brought
out his prey dead or never came out
alive himself

A Prince as Farmer.

Prince Eric of Denmark, the third
son of Prince Waldemar and nephew
OF Queen Alexandra, is to have a prac.
tical education in agriculture, and. so
far from following the rule invariably
accepted by royal princes of entering
the navy or army. he intends to be.
come a farmer. Although only IL. the
prince holds very decided views about
his own country. He Is convinced that
agriculture is Denmark's staple indus
Try. and that her future success and
prosperity are dependent on It. The
prince proposes to make himself a
master Of all the arts and crafts Of
husbandry. and is to be inducted IN
the most thorough and practical man

Next to the windmills, Holland Is
best known for its canals, for the en-
tire country is a network of these
waterways. Almost everywhere one
looks is to be seen a canal threading
its way through the meadows and
fields and towns, and at frequent inter-
walls canal boats, drawn by horses or
men, or else propelled by sails or a
gasoline engine-for this latter mod
ern means of propulsion is now in
stalled on many of the boats-may be
seen passing, and if one has the leisure
TO make a canal boat trip through Hol-
land it offers an interesting and unique
means of transport. This cheap form
of transportation is a godsend to the
Dutch people. By means of the slow
but capacious canal boats their garden
and field products are carried to the
markets of the cities, and il there ever
were a necessity for the regulation Of
railway rates in that country, canal
boat transportation would solve the
problem.

Composite Beauty.

The classical face, which is the
model in art, is, according to the analy-
sis of a recent writer, an ideal concep-
tion combining the largest number of
good proportions. 1t is a composite of
perfect individual features. Uzeuxis'
Helen of Argos is a depletion of per-
sonal beauty in which are combined
the charms of five beautiful virgins of
that time. Cornova's Venus" unites
the beauty of 60 different women.
Annie Wolf in her work, "The Truth
About Beauty" says: The best recipe
| have ever seen for complete bodily
splendor is to study Greek models for
he head, English for the complexion,
Irish for the hands, American for the
finger nails, Hindostanee for the feet,
and Spanish for the gait Now, the
same composite principle obtains in
the classical face.

The Antl.TubercuIosIs EInht.

! Educating the people to combat the
spread of tuberculosis is a movement
which 1t would be superfluous to
praise. Miniature model tenements
and graphic reproductions of the op-
posite sort will do very little positive
good, however, unless the people who
see them think to some purpose.
While in our cities we have system
of taxation which penalties with
heavy tax the builder of model tene-
ment and rewards with a low tax the
owner of filthy rookery, model tene-
ments will continue to be few and
filthy rookeries will continue to be
many Education is a great force in
the fight against consumption, and
some day people will learn that there
are more deadly wholesale ways Of
spreading and perpetuating tubercu-
losis than by expectorating in a car
or ferryboat-Puck.

he had occasionally entertained with
the ready hospitality of Kentucky.
When he left, the client always in.

the afternoon he found himself in the
vicinity of his client He decided TO
accept the oft-repeated invitation.
After inquiry. he found the shack

Deaths from AnaesthetIcs.

A question recently put to the secre
tary of state from the home depart
ment as to how many deaths occurred
during the year 1907 in the metropolis
tan area and in the other parts OF
England and Wales respectively from
the effects of the administration OF
anaesthetics ELECTED the reply that the
figures for the year 1907 were not yet
available, but according to the YER
diets of coroners' juries and the GER
tificates of medical practitioners there
were in the year 1906 Ga deaths in
London and 119 in the remainder Of
England and Wales caused by anaes-
thetics administered for operations.
1t was stated that there appeared to
be some reason to doubt whether the
certificates on which these returns
were based were in all cases complete
and that there must necessarily some
times be difficulty in determining IL
death under an anaesthetic was caused
by the anaesthetic. 1t was proposed,
therefore, to make further inquiry in
70 the matter-British Medical Jour-
nal.
