PRESIDENT TAFT TO
VISIT PANAMA CANAL
will Look Over Big Ditch Before
Making Recommendations
to Congress.

Washington, d. C.-With the work
on the Panama canal progressing so
rapidly as to insure a completion of
the ditch perhaps a year sooner than
January /, 1915, the date originally
set, President Taft finds it necessary
to make a hurried visit to the 18TH
mus in order to secure first hand
knowledge of its problems as a basis
for program of legislation for the
canal which the intends to push
through at the coming session of con.
gress.
The executive wants to anticipate
the problems which will arise when
the canal is completed. He wants to
have everything covered prior to the
opening so that there will be no ne.
cessity for legislative after thoughts
Congress will be asked for the fol
lowing legislation:
An appropriation of at least $2r
100000 for preliminary work in forti
flying the canal. The total cost oi
fortification will probably be SIS,
100000.
Establishment of a definite govern
ment for the zone.
Settlement of the rate to be paid
by foreign vessels for passage through
the canal.
Disposition of the Panama rail
road.
Workingmen's compensation for in
juries.
Salary adjustment of certain class
es of laborers on the zone.
President Taft's most perplexins
problem of all is to determine the
form of government to be established
on the isthmus. In reality there is
no government on the zone at pres
ent. Congress left to the president
the job of administering justice ant
enforcing the laws, but 1t did no
specify how he was to DO Z

New Haven, Conn.-Judge Simon
Baldwin, democratic candidate fol
/ governor, has announced that he
would bring suit against ex-President
Roosevelt on account of statements
reported to have been made by Mr.
Roosevelt in speech in New Hamp
shire relative to Judge Baldwin's at
titude on labor legislation. Mr.. Bald
win said he had asked Colonel Roose
welt to retract the statement and that
the colonel had failed to do so.
The statement referred to was re
ported to have been made in a speech
at Concord, N. H., by Mr.. Roosevelt
and was to the effect that the posi-
tion taken by Judge Baldwin on the
employers liability question was
retrogressive.

A SNAKE STORY.
The Wonderful Old Time Serpent That
Talked Like a Man.

The Wonderful Old Time Serpent That
Talked Like a Man.
In John Ashton's Curious Creatures
of Zoology" there is a quotation from
"a little Latino booke prsnted at Wen
ma in the yeare 1851" which tells
most wonderful story. Ashton quotes
as follows; There was found in a
move or rycke Of corn almost as many
snakes. adders and other serpentes as
there was sheafes, so as no one sheaf
could be removed but there presently
appeared a heape Of ougly and fierce
serpentes. The countrie men deter
myned TO set fire upon the barne and
so attempted 10 do, but in vaine, for
the straw would take no fire, although
they laboured with all their Wits and
pOlicye TO burn them up.
AT last there appeared unto them at
the top Of the heap a huge great ser
pente. which lifted up his head and
spake with a mans voyce 10 the coun-
trie men, saying. Cease TO prosecute
your devise. for you shall not be able
to accomplish our burning. for wee
were not bredde by nature. neither
came we here OF our owne accord. but
were sent by God 10 take vengence on
the shines OF men,"
Ashton leaves us in the dark as 10
what the "countrie" men did, but II is
natural to suppose that they surren
dered at once.

THE DIVERS DRESS.
Evolution Of the Devices Used For
Submarine Work.

Evolution Of the Devices Used For
Submarine Work.
Among pioneer inventors TO whom
the diving dress in its present perfect
ed form owes so much was William
Hannis Taylor. The previous hit or
miss attempts were superseded by the
Taylor patent Of June 20, 1888. in
which the essential feature was the
valve allowing the emission of con
sumed air without an influx Of water.
Previous TO this time there had been
the diving chests and the diving bell.
Of which the latter. introduced by
Smeaton in IT'S. was the safest and
most practical device for submarine
exploration. The diving bell has been
developed alongside Of the diving dress
and is still in use.
The general appearance Of Taylors
diving armor was like that Of a
knights suit of MALL except for a
prominent bulge in the body piece. A
large pipe coming down from the sur
face and penetrating the body piece at
the bulge supplied the fresh air. while
a short pipe entered the body piece on
the other side and was provided with
a valve which carried off the exhaust.
Although diving armor has now reach
ed its perfected state, this valve has
never been materially improved upon.
