Oriuin Of White Race.

The discussion of the precise locality
where the primitive man developed
into the white race Is by no means
settled as yet. The old theory that the
Aryan or white race began In Asia
is still held by many high authorities,
but other authorities equally high
maintain that the original white
mans country" was Europe and that
from Europe the race spread to other
parts of the world. 1t is safe to say
that the last word upon the subject
has not yet been spoken. The debate
ia still open and will probably remain
so for very long time to come.-New
York American.

Much Jlnk In oatun Lake Basin.

The sale is being made. ut this time
chiefly for the purpose of getting out
the old material that lies In the great
basin Of Gatun lake before the basin
is filled with water There are large
quantities Of the junk in the lake basin
Each Of the locomotives left by the
French yields between $500 and 5000
worth of copper alone. The commits
sion will save the old steel rails on the
isthmus to he used as reinforcement
in the concrete work and as telephone
and telegraph poles.
Some OF this old French junk has
been found in extraordinary places.
Dredgea have been discovered almost
completely buried In sand hundreds
of feet away from any body of water
and overgrown with dense tropical
vegetation. Apparently they had been
carried away from the river bed by
high water or the river itself had
shifted its course. Several of these
buried dredges We're in a fairly good
state of preservation and are now do
ing work on the isthmus.
Some of the junk has been lifted
from the bottom of the Chagres river
and from the bottom of the old French
canal PRISM where hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars worth Of equipment
sank after the French abandoned the
work. Some Of the relics In the canal
prism near the crossing Of the Rio
Grande river were dislodged only after
heavy charges Of dynamite had been
exploded under them. Others have
been raised from watery graves and
are now helping to link the Atlantic
with the Pacific.
s Relics Put to Good Use.
The profit from the sale Of the
French junk will be small compared
with the value Of the service that The
commission already has derived from
the castoff equipment. For the frs
two years of their work the commits
sion relied absolutely upon the ole
locomotives left by the French. Ii
1906 there We're 100 Of these weathe
beaten locomotives In service com
pared with only fifteen American mad
engines. Since that time the percent
age Of the French locomotives ha
steadily decreased.
French dump cars were used almos
exclusively by the commission In tn
first two years. AT one time NOR
than 1000 Of them were hauling dir
from Uncle Sans shovels. The Frenc
relics furnished also many shop tools
stationary engines and much repai
material In the early days Of the col
struction work.
In fact, Americans may thank th

aroused him to activity and he became
a scholar, philosopher. peet, wit, states
man and orator. Dean Swift, the keen
est wit of his age, was ''plucked" at
Dublin university. Newton, Shake
speare, Michelangelo and Oliver Gold
smith all come in the category.
One day q slatternIy woman rushed
out of a little grocer's shop gripping
an unkempt boy by the ear, and as she
pulled him along she shouted to her
