LoNGWoRTH AS AMBASSADOR.
Rumor Has 1t He Will Succeed D. j.
Hill in Germany

Society at our national capital is
much interested over the report that
Congressman Nicholas Longworth is
slated to succeed David Jayne Hill as
ambassador to Germany. 1t is the opin-
ion there that the appointment would
be acceptable to Germany, because of
the friendship that exists between En-
peror William and former President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Longworth, being
wealthy, could entertain in the style
that the German people have been ac-
customed to see from the representative
of the United States in Berlin, and
Mrs. Longworth, being a charming
hostess, would make such an appoint
ment an agreeable one. Mrs. Long
worth is quoted as having stated she
would like very much for such an APP
pointment to be given Mr.. Longworth.

NATURAL|STS' REPORT
CANAL ZONE SURVEY
Smithsonian Scientists Engag-
ed in Study of the Panama
Fauna and Flora.

Encouraging reports are being re-
ceivsd by the Smithsonian Institution
from the naturalists who are taking
part in the biological survey OF the
Panama Canal Zone, which was organ
ICED by the institution last winter.
The principal branches Of natural his
which comprises seven experienced
from the various scientific bureaus Of
the government.
Naturalists throughout the world are
strongly interested in this biological
survey. ana various scientific organiza-
tions urged the institution to take it
up. for the reason that when the canal
is opened sweeping changes will prob
ably take place in the distribution Of
the animals and plants. Some Of the
fresh-water streams of the isthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific. 1t is known
that q certain number Of animals and
plants in the streams on the Atlantic
side differ from those of the Pacific
side, but as no biological survey has
ever been undertaken, the extent and
ma gnitude Of these differences have
yet to be learned. 1t is also Of the Ut
most Importance to science to deter
mine exactly the geographical distribu-
ton OF the various organisms inhabit-
ing these waters. as the isthmus is one
Of tho routes by which the animals and
plants OF South America have entered
North America, and vice versa.
When the canal il completed the nat
ural distinctions now existing will be
obliterated. while by tho construction Of
the Gatun dam q vast freSh-water lake
will be created, which will drive away
or drown the majority Of the animals and
plants now inhabitinS the locality. and
might possibly exterminate some species
before they become known to science.
