NO lDLERS IN CANAL ZONE
That Busy Community Is Said to be the Most Orderly in the
 World.

In all this wide, wide world the most orderly community is that of the Panama canal zone, writes Mary Gay Humphreys in Scnbner's. Here is the least crime; here are the feuest ,ais. demeanors, the least exercise of the functions of the courts, the most in- dustrious. the fewest idlers, absolu ely no poor, equally conspicuous the ab- sence of the rich.
 With its steam shovels working like sentient beings, it's locomotives rush. ing about like screaming busybodies, its cement buckets skimming over the earth and riding the air to perform their varied tasks, with the long dirt trains weaving and turning on their tortuous tracks like pythons, still the most persistent impression is of beau ty, orderliness and propriety.
 The greatest public work the world has ever seen is carried on not only with unremitting diligence, enthusi- asm and honesty, but with elegance, high standard of living and morale to which the oldest and most opulent cities have never attained.
 These are the words of truth and soberness. The problems of the en- gineer are greater than man has ever before encountered, but in kind. The cubic yards of dirt and cement tran scend experience, but only in bulk. It is the organization that is without precedent in the whole history of pub lie works-it is this that is the eighth wonder of the world
 In this organization there is no de- tail so minute not to have received attention; from the most puzzling problems in engineering to the Ameri- can youths love of ice cream nothing seems to have been left unconsidered This elaboration of detail has doubt less been gradual, but to the visitor coming upon it's completeness today the impression is staggering and not unmixed with envy.

Wanderina Wireless Waves.

A curious phenomenon in connee- ton with wireless telegraphy has been observed in the neighborhood of the Clichy-Leyallois railway station, near Paris. In proximity to the rail. way line some telegraph lines were recently erected on columns fitted with ordinary insulators, The work men occupied on the section expe- rienced severe shocks when they touched the wires Experiments were made to discover the cause of this phenomenon and as a result it was found that the currents were produced by Hertzian waves originating from the wireless telegraph station at the Eiffel tower-Telegraph Age.

Mineral Wealth In Ireland.

A remarkable discovery of, silver and lead has been made at Clew. neal Ready, County Armagh. Ireland, by g farmer named Conlon. While work ing in a field the other day he turned up a piece of bright metal. which he put in his pocket and afterwards placed on the mantel shelf in the kitchen, thinking little more about it Subsequently an old miner who had worked in Cornwall, when visiting the house, examined the ore and advised Mir. Conlon to obtain expert advice upon it. This was done and the analytical tests showed that the ore contained per cent. of pure silver and S5 per cent. lead of first quality A mining expert and some other gen tlemen visited the place, and as re suit of boring operations bed of solid ore was, it is said. struck just little over five feet from the sur face. Steps are now being taken with view to obtaining the mining rights of the land.
