Naturalists Busy on Canal Zone

ENCOURAGING reports are being re-
Il ceived by the Smithsonian institu-
ton from the naturalists who are TAX
ing part in the biological survey Of
the Panama canal zone, which was or
gani7ed by the institution last winter.
The principal branches Of natural his
tory are represented In the party.
which includes seven experienced field
naturalists, nearly all of them from
the scientific bureaus Of the govern
ment.
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological
survey. because when the canal Is
opened sweeping changes probably will
take place in the distribution of the
animals and plants. A part of the
fresh water streams of the isthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific.
1t is known that 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 magnitude of these differ
ences have yet to be learned.

(<VOU can take two friendly boys

a high-up official of the United States.
The same rule applies to nations.
This talk about prospective war be-
tween the United States and Japan II
kept up for few years will inevitably
produce war between the two coun-
tries. 1t ought to be stopped. and
stopped now.
There ought TO be some way of in
ficting punishr emit on persons who in
dulge in this war talk when there is
not the slightest foundation for 1t.
The newspapers are not primarily re-
sponsible for this talk. I do think,
however, that they ought to quit Civ

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Cummins
W OF Iowa. as chairman of the COM
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ment, proposes to push the considera-
ton Of comprehensive civil service
measure-one that will provide for
the designation by law Of all places
under civil service classification, in
stead Of leaving them to executive or

lions and retirements.
AS a member of the committee on
Interstate commerce he already has
done some work on a bill to reorgan-
lie the interstate commission, in
creasing its membership and dividing
1t into I'VE parts, these parts to have
jurisdiction respectively over sections
OF the country corresponding to the
trafic divisions as designated by the
railroads.
It IL not certain that the scheme
for reorganization of the interstate
commerce commission will be ad-

at this extra session.

Jap War Talk Is Called Criminal

the suggestion that it might not be
improper for congress to start an in
vestigation with view to ascertaining
why this talk of hostilities between
the United States and Japan con-
tinues. 1t is pointed out that such an
investigation ought to reveal whether
as matter of cold fact there is any
basis for the stories that are constant
ly put in circulation. For nearly four
years this talk has gone on here at the
capital, and naturally has spread to
other sections of the country.
President Taft has recently found It
necessary to invite the ambassador Of
the Japanese empire to the White
House and assure him personally that
the administration is in no way re-
sponsible for the war talk that has re-
Gently been INDUCED in, and to reiter-
ate to him that the United States has
only the kindliest feelings for Japan.
During the last month many stories,
circumsrantial in character, have been
passed around here tending to show
that Japan is preparing to fight this
country. Every one Of them on in
vestigation has been found to be base
less.

Generally speaking, cheap contrap-
lions are an abomination In the bee
yard, but there are times when some
thing which can be gotten up In a
hurry and at a small cost win be
appreciated.
In preparing such hives. however.
one should see to 1t that spacing Is
kept right and nothing but standard
frames should be used. Then when
you get around to it you can simply
transfer your frames to another hive
and nothing will be lost, writes L. C.
Wheeler in the Michigan Farmer.
The hive body can be made by SIM
ply mailing four boards together. leav-
ing the ends three-quarters inch low
er than the sides. Then form a rab-
bet by mailing on q strip three-q quarter
inch wide and three-eights inch thick
on the outer edge of the end boards.

passed the president and walked out
to the east room, where there were
hundreds Of politicians Of various
brands. The vice-president was hav-
ing a fine time when he was inter-
rupted' by Capt. Archibald Butt, the
