In the canal approaches at Colon and
Panama were shown on the stereoDtdcon
screen and explained.
Steam Shovels and Dirt Trains.
The photographs Of the big steam
shovels, the dirt trains and dredges in
action were particularly interesting, and
gave a graphic idea of the enormous
scale on which the canal work Is pursued.
The lecturer also told Of the sheet Of
water to be known as Gatun lake, in the
rear of the Gatun dam, also Of the
ChaSres river, and the manner in which
the difference in the Atlantic and Pacific
tides will be met when the canal is oom-
pleted through an intricate lock system
in the Gatun dam.
During the lecture several scenes show
ing the Southern Cross and the tropical
sea at midocean were displayed on the
screen. They were probably the hand
soonest pictures of their kind shown at
the society's lectures this season.

CONSCIENCE MAKES TOWARDS.

A quiet, bashful sort of young fell
low was making a call on Capitol
Hill girl one evening not so very long
ago, when her father came into the
parlor with his watch in his hand. 1t
was about $3.50 o'clock. At the mo-
ment the young man was standing on
a chair strengthening a picture over
the piano. The girl had asked him
to fix it. AS he turned, the old gen
tleman, a gruff, stout fellow, said:
Young man, do you know what
time 1t is?"
The bashful youth got off the chair
nervously. Yes. sir" he replied. Il

He went into the hall without any
delay, and took his hat and coat The
girls father followed him. As the
caller reached for the doorknob, the
old gentleman again asked him if he
knew what time it was.
yes, sir" was the youths reply.
Good night" And he left without
waiting to put his coat on.
After the door had closed the old
gentleman turned to the girl.

tell me the time, so that 1 could set

NOT TO BE BEATEN.

An American gentleman, spending
his holidays in County Roscommon,
fell into conversation with Pat, who
was feeding his hens
II guess, Pat, you haven't as good
hens here as we have in the States. "
Perhaps not" said Pat.
I'll tell you said the Yankee,
about a hen my mother had. She
went out one day and ate a feed of
corn and returned and laid twelve
eggs. She went out on the next day
and ate feed of corn and laid twelve
more eggs. She went out on the
third day and ate more corn, returned
and laid another twelve eggs. She sat
on the thirty-six eggs, and Matched
seventy-two chickens out of thirty
six eggs. Now, that is the kind of
hens we have in the States"
We'll" said Pat, I'll tell you about
half-blind hen my mother had. She
ate a feed of sawdust, thinking 1t was
oatmeal. She went to her nest and
laid a plank Il feet long. She ate
more sawdust next day, and laid an
other plank IL feet long. She ate
more sawdust the third day, and laid
another 12-foot plank. She sat on
the three planks and Matched three
kitchen chairs, a sofa, one table and
a mahogany chest of drawers Now,
said Pat, with a twingle in his eye,
that's the kind of hens we have in

MR.. STEAD ON PASSION PLAY.

In 1890, in 1900, and in 1910 I
made the pilgrimage to Oberammer-
gau to witness the presentation of the
Passion Play by the peasants of the
Bavarian Alps.
If 1 attain threescore years and
twelve, and my health does not fail
me, L shall see the play once again.
But whether that good fortune is in
store for me or not, 1 do not suppose
that my verdict in 1920 would differ
from my verdict today. For my YER
dict today is the same as was that
which L pronounced in 1890, when I
saw 1t again after the lapse of ten
years The play Is good, as wholly
good as any mortal institution can be-
It is good for the players, good for
the audience, good in itself. And
anyone who has the means and the
opportunity of seeing it, and yet does
not see it, neglects a means of grace
ready to hand, and loses both an in
tellectual stimulus and a spiritual
nspiration-From Oberammerga A
