PANAMA CANAL ZONE NOTES.
Eyewitness Writes About Atmospheric
Pressure and Volcanic Disturbances.

Eyewitness Writes About Atmospheric
Pressure and Volcanic Disturbances.
A correspondent at the canal zone In
a recent letter to Bruce Grit of Yon-
kers, N. Y, writes: II am at least $50
miles from the city Of Panama and its
volcanic disturbances. An eyewitness
has told me that IL paper or even a
straw hat falls into the Culebra cut the
article is sure to become ashes"
This would seem to confirm the state
ment recently published that there are
evidences of volcanic disturbances In
the canal region. Another correspond
ent writes, "Timbers found at the bot
tom Of the cut are charred, as though
burned in a kiln" Perhaps scientists
can explain the significance Of this.
Just why paper and straw hats should
turn to ashes and timber be converted
into charcoal in the Culebra cut are in
teresting questions. Is the canal really
located over a volcano, and is there
danger of an eruption some day?

by force Of circumstances or environ
ment The criminal Of passion IL he
who allows his temper in moment to
get the mastery OF him to the extent
that he may kill man before he re-
gains himself. The occasional criminal
is one who does not commit crime
from nature; is the one who, when
temptations are removed, does not fall
again. Defaulters and embezzlers come
under this head.
Poverty and idleness are largely re-
sponsible for many of the crimes. The
world Is full Of men and boys who live
without working. They are really the
dregs in the cup of life. Eighty-6ve
per cent of the criminal classes are
victims of alcoholic stimullnts.

more than 1900 colored soldiers who
gladly shouldered their muskets and
went to the front in defense Of the
American government against the enc

meaned themselves well and came
back home amid the plaudits of the
nation.
