Panalrna,a Future.

To most Americans Panama means
only the Canal Zone, plus restrict
ed country of wilderness and swamp,
with a republican form of govern.
ment automatic to the policy of the
United States. OF its potential re,
sources little is known here. and less
of its climate, outside the strip that
was granted in perpetuity to the
United States by the treaty Of 1903.
We believe that most Americans
would be surprised to hear that Pan.
anna Is greater in area than South
Carolina, and almost as large as
Maine. While the canal strip is only
about Ave miles wide, the influence
of the United States government will
extend to every confine and recesa
of the republic as long as the Ameri.
can flag flies over the zone. 1t fol-
lows that serious breaches of the
peace will not be tolerated any more
than arbitrary interference with legi-
innate investments. If the resources
of Panama would repay an attempt to
develop them. we may be sure that
1t will be made.-tNew York Sun.

Modern French Novel.

The novel in France is passing
through crisis much as 1t is in
England. There is no great novelist
who stands out as Dumas. Hugo and
their successors used to, and the very
interesting lecture delivered recently
by Mr.. Belloc explains in great
measure. the reasons for the temper
airy eclipse of the novel. Mr.. Relloc
has the advantage Of being two sin
gle gentlemen rolled into one, and
what he says OF the French novel is
deserving OF all attention.
He pointed out that there are at
present two schools in France, Mau-
rice Barres being at the head of one.
and Anatole France at the head of
the other. Barres Is the leader Of
the "reactionary," or religious. school
of thought; he defends Catholicism
in religion. and nationality in poll
tics. Anatole France, on the other
hand, IS a conspicuous example Of
the men who are in revolt against the
clerical education of, their youth. In
other words, Barres is the leader Of
the clericals. and France of the mod
erns.
1t is no wonder that the French
novel is not what it was, and that
even Frenchmen are turning to de.
tective stories and weird ghost tales.
The primary aim Of novel should
be to tell good and interesting
story, and those who try to use i.
as a pulpit for setting forth their
own particular theories. and nos.
strums misconceive it altogether.
There Is quite enough controversy in
real life.-London Globe.

FEWER RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
2,7s1 Persons Killed During Year,
Against 3,764 In 1908.

1871 Persons Killed During Year,
Against 3,764 In 1908.
A decrease in the number OF casu-
alties on American railroads for the
year ended June 80, 1909. is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
During the year 2.791 persons were
killed and 63,920 were injured on
railroads, as against 1854 killed and
$500 injured during the previous
fiscal year. This was a decrease OF
973 killed and 5.069 Injured. The
report shows that the number Of en-
ployes killed in coupling and uncoup-
ling cars and engines was 80 per
cent. less than during the fiscal year
OF 1908. z
The total number of persons killed
and injured during the three months
ending June 80 last was 1885. or
6sS killed and 15,307 injured. being q
decrease Of three in the total num-
Der of persons killed and an increase
..of 2,2os injured, ~ compared with
the number reported for the same
period q year ago.
The fetal number Of collisions and
derailments In the quarter was 2,100.
or SIT collisions and 1888 derail-
ments, of which 100 collisions and 172
derailments affected passenger
trains. The total damage to cars,
engines and roadways was $1.703,642.
{ This shows decrease of thirty in
the total number Of collisions and de-
railments, as compared with the
number reported for the same period

GRAzING FoR GEEsE.

The goose is not commonly regard
ed as a cousin to the COW, yet one is
about as persistent grazer as the
other. There are farmers who won't
turn geese into a meadow because
they think the geese make SO clean
sweep OF the pasturage that it Is
spoiled for cattle.
:, An English authority says that
geese do not eat an excessive guam
tity OF herhsge II the goslings are
Filled off the grass at the green
stage or are Kept till after harvest
and finished on the stubble. As for
the common belief that geese damage
the pasturage the same writer says
that they destroy mainly the tuber-,
Gus roots OF the ranunculus, a weed
which could well be spared.
Nowadays in England the green
goose, or more correctly the gosling,
is more generally esteemed than the
fat goose OF Christmas, says the
Queen. and the; lingering regard for
the Michaelmas bird is perhaps more
sentimental than actual. The poul.
terers tell rs that goslings are in sea-
son from April to October. but from
the pointsof view of the English pro-

THE PRINCESS CANE.

Emperor Williams Revolt Against
the stringent Rules Of Vienna Court.
The first instance of the Kaiser's
revolt against the stringent rules OF
court etiquette began on the occa-
sion OF his last visit to Vienna. when

guests invited to a state banquet in
the imperial palace there were as
sembled preparatory to going to ia.

said: Where is thy wife?"
The Arohduke as somewhat en-
barrassed by the question and re-
piled: Surely thou knowest that
my wife is regarded here as lady

Kaiser's rejection Of court etiquet.
He exclaimed impulsiyely. But no,

Bicycles and Airships.

One OF the most striking facts
about flying is the ease and quick
ness with which the art seems to be
mastered under proper conditions.
For example. Lieut.. Lahm has been
a pupil only three weeks. yet he
made recently flight Of forty-seven
minutes, which only little while
ago would have been a record. Half
an hour, says Wilbur Wright, is long
enough to get the knack of the ma
chine. but it is to be noticed that he
does not let pupils quite SO green as
that shift for themselves. The first
stages seem not to be much more diff
ficult or alarming than the mastery
OF the high bicycle of twenty years
ago. which to the novice looked as
high as house. In fact, the we'll
taught aeronaut seems to lose rather
less cuticle during his apprenticeship
than the old-time bicyclist Spring.
