not realize that They picture the waterway as a big ditch. which it is not. For only nine miles. through the CuIebra cut, will the work be very much like what the average mind seems to have conceived. And when it is finished even that Culebra section will form part of the lake itself Provided you're going from New York to an Francisco by boat five years from now. this is what will happen when you get to Pana- ma:
 At Colon, on the Caribbean side. you will run into a broad, deep chan mel, which has already been dredged out of the soft, sea level swamp land for seven miles, into Gatun. There you will see ahead of you a low, gentle-sloping hill. stretching for full mile and a half from one side of the valley to the other. That will be the Gatun dam-but it won't look like a dam at all because the whole slope will be as easy as that of a sea beach, At the left is a triple flight of lOcks-part of them already built-to lift your steamer to the level of the lake, eighty-five feet above the sea. You may pass an other boat going down, for the locks are in pairs, to permit of traffic in both directions at once.
 Now you're on Gatun lake. and the captain gives the full-speed jin- gle, because it's a wide. clear chan mel. with but an easy turn here and there. and long. clear straightaways in between, and the ship keeps on thus for twenty miles or more. Then hills loom up ahead. and the chan neI narrows from 1000 to 500 feet. and then to 500. and then at last you ease along the nine-mile passage through the backbone range of the American continent-Culebra cut, if you chOose-where the channel gets down to it's minimum width of 300 feet, enough for two vessels to pass in comfort and with lots to spare but not enough for a twentykno clip
 You are through before you know it. and into the Pedro Miguel lock, which lets the ship down thirty feet into little lake or basin a mile long, at the far end of which are the two twin locks of the Miraflores. com pleting the descent to the sea. And then it's a run of nine miles through a straight, broad. lowland channel most of that, too. has already been dredged-and you are out in the Pa cific. That's all. The bulk of the canal length lies in Gatun lake. right through Culebra cut to the Pedro Miguel lock, a distance most of which can be covered at full steaming Mygatt in Columbian Magazine.

HOW NATURE RAISES SHEEP.
Favorable Conditions for Wyoming FIocks-No Land to Fence,
 Barns to Build.

The United States is a mighty wool and mutton producer. In this respect it has leaped wonderfully to the front in the past fifteen years, writes G. w. ogden in the September Everybody's. And two- thirds of the sheep in the country, of which there are about 50,000.00O, are ranging upon the great stretches of public lands in the inter- mountain states of the west The sheep in these states, at present prices, represent more than billion dollars.
 Because of the cool nights of sum mer there, nature clothes the sheep in heavy coats of wool. and the profit from this source is more than double that in the more salubriOus sheep sections in the southwest and the east. Not only is the yield of wool larger, but there is a big difference between the cost of rearing and main taining sheep in, let us say, Ohio the third sheep state in the Union and that in Montana or Wyoming. In Ohio the sheep must be fed in win ter, fenced at all seasons and housed from storm. On the western range the animals are neither sheltered. fenced nor fed. And, at that, the average yield per head is about three pounds less in Ohio than in the noun tain states.
 The range. stretching in unmeas ured immensity. is at once granary and fold. thus relieving the flockmas- ter of all expense save the herders' hire On the high plateauX of Colo rado, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, the short, succulent grass cures as 1t stands during the rainless summer. retaining it's sweetness and nutritive qualities. In winter the wind gener- ally blows the dry snow into drifts on the lee side of the hills, leaving vast areas uncovered where the flocks can feed. But not always. What happens when snow covers the range is another story.
 A flockmaster is considered unfor- tunate, indeed. if driven to the ne cessity of feeding his flocks in winter. It is generally considered cheaper to allow such of the animals as cannot weather the stress to make an end of it in their own way. If a man is a hundred miles or two from a rail road in d country where there is not enough hay grown to feed all the sheep on the range for ten days, there doesn't appear to be any more humane solution. In the inter noun tain sheep country a man does not go into the business of sheep raising with the intention of ever spending a cent on the maintenance of his animals. Nature has done everything consid- cred necessary by the sheepmen in the way of providing food supply. Millions upon millions of sheep are born. sheared and graduated into lamb chops-at 4 to 6 years of age that never tasted a bite of farm grown produce in their lives until they were put aboard the train to be taken to the stockyards. If nature would only eliminate the cattlemen and produce a self-shearing sheep, the sheepmep would be so happy they might take to gadding about over the hills in bare legs and short skirts. piping music upon reeds, as poets. and others just as trustworthy tell us they did in the golden age long ago

GIVING AND GAINING.

We reap in return for our sowing, And not for mere dreaming of gains; The winds that are fitfully blowing Across the wide. billowy plains Will bring us no shiploads of treasure, Unless we have ships to return; The world gives us measure for meas ure
 And hope for the hopes that we
 earn.
 The world gives us joy for enjoyment That we have the. grace to impart: The heart is soon out of employment That ceases to gladden. some heart; Thepleasure and profit of living Are sweetened by effort and zeal; The world gives us gains for our giv-
 ing.
 And not for the empty appeal.

THE EARTH SPIRIT.

Down these golden uplands I Move with sunny woods and sky, Where the ghosts of waters are, To the gates of dusk and star. And know that as I go. She whose bosom is the snow Of the birch and aspen tree. Dreams these sunny dreams with me She whose glance and gleam of hair Are the ruddy spinning. rare. Of the gold glint of the sun In the wood when day is done; She whose inner speech is heard In the hush of wind and bird, And whose soul is as a star Cradled where the hill-lakes are.

CURES LIKE NATURE


Here's a remedy that cures while you sleep. No poisonous drugs to swallow. No weak stomach or di- gestive troubles due to drugging. This remedy is Natures medicine electricity.
 The only way to cure anything is to help Nature. Nature will cure when she has the power. That power is electricity. Feed it to your nerves and they will absorb and carry it to every organ and tissue of the body, where it gives health and vim to every ailing part.
 The reason drugs don't cure is because they do not assist Nature. Nature needs nourishment, strength. something that builds up. Drugs contain no nourishment, no cleo tricity. not one thing that builds vitality-just poison that tears down.
 My way is the best. way of ap- plying electricity. It's the only method that has proven successful. I've had 20 years experience in treating disease with electricity and I know more about it than any other doctor on earth. My Electra Vita is the result of this 20 years experience.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, Aug 27.-Some pressure was shown in today's operations on the stock exchange, but the move- ment was so dull and narrow that it was almost featureless. Europes markets were quiet and practically unchanged. The commercial agencies reported uncertain or irregular con- ditions in most lines of commerce
 Western shippers are reported to have outlined plan of attack on the pro- posed advance in freight rates at Mondays hearing before the inter state commerce commission. Weather conditions. according to most advices, are helpful to crops, except in Texas, where a severe fall of temperature has excited some fears of damage to cotton and corn. In the local cotton market August options went to a new high record, advancing 36 points at the opening and other options were up to 10 points, but reactions from these prices were general before the close of the market The bank state ment displayed the usual discrep ancy in it's average actual tables, loans under the former system in- creasing about $10,50O,00O, while the actual condition of the increase was little more than s5O0.000 The actual decrease of reserves on all deposits was s1,600.000. with an actual cash loss of $2,416 900.

Stamp Out Alcoholism in Servia.

The rising tide of popular senti-
ment in favor of temperance appears
to be spreading eastward over Eu-
rope with marked results, and now
even the little kingdom of Servia is
affected. The Medical Society of Ser
via, in common with those of sur
rounding countries, has been con-
fronted by the ever increasing evils
of alcoholic drinking among all
classes of the people and the mem
bers have entered upon an active
campaign to stamp out the blight
The question of the use of alcohol
in medical practise came up for much
discussion at the general meeting of
the society and 1t was unanimously
decided to address a petition to the
minister of the interior asking for a
permanent commission to study the
question of alcoholism and the best
means to employ in wiping out the
evil in Servia.
