AMERICAS OLDEST ROAD.

The Oldest road in America is to
be macadamized by the Isthmian Ca
nal commission.
1t is the road which runs from the
the old city of Panama to Cruces, on
the Chagres river, and its very road
bed seems permeated with the atmos-
phere of treasure and adventure seek
ing. 1t was used before 1887, and
was paved with cobblestones and flat
rocks.
Over it passed the treasure cara
vans and treasure seekers in the days
when the golden galleons of Spain
used to sail the Spanish Main.
Then it fell into disuse, but was
again to be the highway of treasure
seekers, for it was used in the fe-
vered days of California gold as a
link of the Central American route.
About eighteen miles of the ia
nous treasure road will be macad-
amized.

CAMERA FOR MEDICAL FRAUD
PennsyIvanIa Doctors Hereafter VIII
BE Identified by Photographs
Kept on File.

Applicants for license TO practice
medicine and surgery in Pennsylva-
MIA henceforth will be required to
file with their applications two pho
tographs OF themselves for use of the
bureau of medical education and
license, which has charge Of the ex-
examinations
The photographs will be used to
identify applicants and are necessary
to prevent fraudulent substitutes
such as have been practiced.
The new requirement is an official
acknowledgment that the old state
examining boards we're victimized
occasionally by professional" APP
plicants, who, for a consideration,
would take the place Of the real APP
plicant at the examination, assuming
his name for the time being and en-
abling an incompetent to obtain a
license on the strength of an exami-
nation which actually was passed by
the well-equipped substitute.
Nobody knows how many there are
throughout the state of these "doc-
tors" who obtained their licenses that
way, but the number probably is
large.
Various methods have been con-
sidered for checking the evil, but the
newly created examining body has
concluded that nothing short of pho
tographic Identification will suffice,
and henceforth every applicant must
present at the examinations ia
that corresponds to the pictures

POLE STAR REALLY DOUBLE
Fusthermore, spectroscope Shove
Brighter Of Its orbs Actually ls
Composed Of Three.

The pole star, which is the one
star in the heavens which always
seems to keep its place, can be seen
when observed through a powerful
telescope to be really two stars. One,
knows as the Second magnitude"
is fairly bright, and the other close
to it is Of the ninth magnitude, and
is not so clearly seen. The brighter
Of the two is really three stars re-
volving round one another or rather
round their common center of grav-
ity, like three children playing ''ring
a ring o. roses"
This secret is revealed by what is
perhaps the most astonishing of all
scientific instruments, the spectre
scope. 1t not only tells what the
stars are made of, but whether they
are moving toward us or away from
us.
When a person stands facing the
star, he is always facing north. The
reason that it does not appear to
move as the others do is because it
is nearly in line with the axis of the
earth. Its distance from us is enor-
nous.
This can be judged from the fact
that although the earth in its jour
ney round the sun is today about
190,OOO,000 miles from where it was
six months ago, that makes no appre-
cable difference to its distance from
the pole star. 1t must therefore be
many times 19O,OOO,0OO miles away

WAGONS FOR BLIND TIGERS
That Is What Tommy Supposed the
CLOSED Cages In the Circus
Parade Were.

Tommy lives in a "dry" county,
and during the last two years has
heard much of ''blind tigers" He
went to Indianapolis to attend cir
Gus recently and was much interest
ed in the parade. Immediately fol-
lowing a cage in which we're some
royal Bengal tigers, there were two
or three wagons closed so the interior
could not be seen.
'Papa," inquired Tommy, "are
those wagons where they keep the
blind tigers?"
Tommy's mother isamodel house
keeper, and Tommy has been taught
that every piece of household furni-
ture has a place, Snd should be kept
in its place. After the evening per-
formance, the roustabouts began
tearing away the seats before the
crowd had much more than started
to leave the tent.

Coleman Dupont is man who

idea of the state-long boulevard. Re
Immediately began to interest in
fiuential people in the project. The
assembly was in session and he went
to leading legislators and asked them
if they would put through bill that
would enable him to make the gift
Of the great highway to the public.
The members liked the idea and
consented to act. And so the Cole
man DUPONT Road, Incorporated,
came into being in accordance with
an act authorizing any boulevard
company which would comply with
certain conditions to construct a
highway from the southern to the
northern boundary of the state.
Chief among these conditions YVES
that such company should give to
the people of Delaware, free and
clear of any encumbrance. a road
for vehicular travel from one end of
the state to the other on as nearly a
straight line as was practicable.
1.-The only thing that bothers me
in this whole business is the attitude
of the farmers" says Mr.. Dupont.
You would think that they would
all be glad to see the road built, con-
sidering the tremendous advantage
its going to be to them, but many Of
them will not give rights-of-way
through their property, and where
/ offer to buy, they put preposterous
figures on their holdings. One man
had been offering his farm for So 500,
