Where Supplies Came From.
Colonel Eugene Il. Wilson is the
Santa Claus who supplies all these
good things to the employees. To get
them where they are cheapest and
best he sends his flying squadron
scouting to every land. and as a result
every part of the world is helping to
feed the army of the canal. Phila-
delphia supplies cheese. Missouri
sends eggs, New York state eggs, Ger
many sausages and wild boar, Scot
land breakfast Goods. England exports
marmalade, kippere herring, even
grouse and pheasant, and last sum-
mer Texas contributed 10000 water
melons. In the city of Panama a
watermelon sold at $1.25 gold: the
commission furnished them to the
employees for S5 cents.
The commission furnishes also ice
cream and manufactures its own fla
vors from its own chocolates and
fruits. Every morning it sends out
$50 gallons, or If Mr.. Jones or Mrs.
Smith is giving a party as many
more gallons as he or she commands.
Every day along the line it dis
tributes 1900 pieces of laundry. How
it ever gets the right pieces back to

great marvel. On one side of an

of West Indian negresses, and finally

RIVERS AND HARBORS
WILL BE DISCUSSED

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.-(Spe-
cial,) THE ninth annual convention
OF the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress which meets in this city on
December 4, to continue in session
three days, gives abundant promise of
being the most largely attended con-
Nention this association has had since
ats organization at the old Arlington
decade ago.
President Taft will deliver the OPP
ening address and is expected to
still further emphasize his position
looking to a broad and statesman
like policy by the national govern
ment, in the treatment of the water
ways OF the country to the end that
all streams susceptible of navigation
may be made navigable.
And after the present administra-
lion is ended progressive citizens in
all the states will look to a demo-
cratic administration to carry on the
work of river, harbor and canal i'm
proyement now under way on the
ground that the platform of the DEM
ocrats is even stronger than the plat
Iorms of other parties with respect to
this very vital question.
The result of the general election,
while it does not affect the advance
ment of sentiment for waterway i'm
provement in harmony with the doc
trines Of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, has in a number
uf instances changed the personnel Of
the committees of both houses hav-
ing to deal with river and harbor ap-
Dropriations.
The senate committee on commerce
which consists of seventeen numbers,
lost two-Messrs. Bourne of oregon,
republican, and Percy of Mississippi,
democrat, while the house committee
on rivers and harbors, consisting of
twenty-one members, lost eight-three
democrats, Messrs. Randsdell of
Louisiana, Ellerbee of South Carolina
and Boehne of Indiana; Lawrence of
Massachusetts, Davidson of Wiscon-
sin Young Of Michigan, Rodenberg
of Illinois and Kennedy of Iowa, re-
publicans.
The only member of the house COM
mittee who will continue in congress
is Mr.. Ransdell. who has been elect
ed to the senate. His distinguished
service not only in the house but as
president, since its reorganization, of
the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress, should in the very nature of
things place him upon the commerce
committee of the senate.

TO RAISE TRACKS AND
NOT DISTURB TRAFFIC

spokane Wash, Nov. 2O.-The 81
,225, 900 task of raising a half dozen
railroad tracks without disturbing the
business of the city through which
they run will be started in Spokane
this week by the Northern Pacific.
A crew of $50 men will be assembled
at the opening of work. The tracks
will be raised for a distance of four
miles, with concrete retaining walls
at the sides. Guthrie & McDougall,
a contracting firm of st. Paul and
Spokane, has the contract for the
work, which will be done under su-
pervis:on Of Alex NJ. Lupfer, former
chief engineer of the Spokane & In
land Empire railway system. Includ-
ing new ships just east of the city
limits, the Northern Pacific project
calls for an expenditure of SO 100000.

In every Japanese vil- Is.ge the school house is the largest and most conspicuous building, on every Japanese road the eommonest of spectacles is a column of two or three hundred school boys and school girls, marching, two. and two, a.on some na- ture studying excursion or on pilgrims age to some patriotic shrine. Both boys and girls wear a simple uniform. For the boys it consists of a peaked cap and a voluminous divided skirt' of Grey-and white striped cotton; for the girls it consists simply of an undivided skirt. generally of a deep plum color These winding centipedes of children, marshalled by their little teachers. often scarcely taller than the tallest pupils, are at once a touching and an impressive sight If the Kaiser could see them, he might probably give a simpler but not less telling form to his vision of the yellow peril in a new allegorical picture.
 What are the merits of the education they receive? On this point it is diff ficult for one who knows no Japanese to form an opinion. Though the school masters are badly underpaid the ele- nentary teaching is probably quite good Tn spite of the appalling diff ficuty of learning to read and write Japanese, with it's Chinese ideographs, helped out by two subsidiary "sylla
 baries' of some fifty character apiece 1t would seem that practically the whole younger generation may fairly be called literate. Certainly there is no country where the written and printed word is more prominent than in Japan. Inserip- fions and placards, on stone, wood and paper, meet the eye at every turn. Pop ular newspapers abound. and the book stores of the cities are piled with cheap magazines and other Indications Of a wide reading public. MT. B. H. Cham berlain, himself master of Japanese, goes the length of saving that the rapidity with which Japanese school boys learn to read and write proves that the most complicated system of notation presents little difficulty to a child, if only he be caught young enough. Japanese authorities do not quite agree to this. I have heard Japanese scholar describe the national method of writing as "diabolical" There can be little doubt I think that it places serious handicap on educa- ton There was at one time a strong movement for adopting the Roman al- phabet; but the difficulties seem to be very great, and the movement has de- clined with the general decline in en-

London. November 2.-(Special.) )--Cur- few will be rung tonight, and every night from now until March next, on the his torie old bell of Chertsey Abbey, to whose clapper Blanche Heriot is supposed 10 have clung i've hundred years ago in the hope of saving her lover life, as told in the famous poem of Rose Hartwick Thorp.
 Probably few of the thousands of peo- ple who have read ''Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" or heard it recited, have any idea that the bell which it's plncky heroine--who is called Bessie in the poem-kept from ringing still in exist ence. On the other hand such Americans as have visited Chertsey, which is thriy- ing town 25 miles from London, will have learned all about the Abbey bell as it is called. which is considered to be the most historic and oldest bell in England. but which it was left to an American writer to make world-famous.
 It was cast over 600 years ago. or in 1910, to be exact. 1t weighs ten hun ,lredweight. measures three feet high and 3 feet in circumference. and around the crown in raised Lumbardic capitals is q Latin text which may be translated "Of youf charity pray for us, o Virgin Mary.

Children Seem to Swarm Out of the Earth or Materialize From Thin Air


 Japanese is to us. X proof Of this may be found in the fact that one seldom comes across d Japanese who speaks. English passably we'll. Many who have studied English long, and possibly read 1t with tolerable ease. are painfully in- competent when it comes to speaking. No doubt most of us can read languages that we cannot speak: but that Is sim ply lack of practice In the case of many Japanese. no amount of practice seems to help. They are congenitally incapable of framing a thought on the European model Here the contract between Japan and India is very instructive. indians can always make the most of whateveri English they know. Their English may have very narrow range, but with that range 1t is always fluent, and often re- markably good. With the Japanese tho case is just the reverse. Their help less struggles for expression often do grave injustice to their real Knowledge of the language

London, November 2.-(Special. )-Ellen Terry probably felt a bit "weepy'' the other day when the announcement was made that the famous old Princess thea tre in Oxford street, which was the scene of her first appearance on any stage, after standing empty and neglected for ten years or more, is to be torn down and re- placed by a modern hotel. Henry Arthus Jones may have felt a little pang Of TO- gret too, on hearing the news, for 1t was was at the Princess theatre that the cur tain first rose on his famous melodrama ''The Silver King" and this playhouse was the scene. too, Of the original produc- ton of George R. Sims play, The Lights O London" of Charles Warmers success in Drink" as well as of Wilson Bar rett's greatest triumphs.
 Oddly enough the last real hit at the Princess which was built P years ago as a "panorama theatre.' was an Amer ican one in the shape of "The Fatal We'd ding" That was a full decade back, and shortly afterwards it was announced that B. F Keith, of American vaudeville fame, had bought the old house and would turn it into a continuous entertainment on the lines then popular across the Atlantic. A notice to this effect remained on the front if the theatre until the rains of years
 ashed it off, and at last L.ondoners gave dp the hope of getting continuous enter tainment. and finally almost forgot that the historic old playhouse ever had ex- isteo. Why Mir Keith abandoned his original scheme has never been satis- factorily explained.
 Ellen Terry made her first appearance on the stage of the Princess-t was as the child Mamlllius in "A Winters Tales under the management of Charles Kean, in 1SJC or sixteen years after the opening ot the playhouse. and there after wards she played Puck in "A Midsum- mer Nights Dream" At the Princess. too. London playgoers made the acquaint- ance of her brilliant sister, Kate. who was under the Kean management at the Prin- cess as long as 1t lasted. making one sue cess after another in those earliest of Shakespeare revivals.
 Wills Napoleonic melodrama, "A Royal Divorce" which still Is played on the road in this country was first done at the Princess, whose gods also went into ccstacies oyer The Silver King and fair iy ""ate" what was then considered the the universe, and give me yesterday" "Claudian," too. was seen at the Princess and Mrs. LaDgtry appeared there in An thony and Cleopatra.
 Curously enough the builder of the Princess was named "Hamlet." He was west end jeweler. who invested lot of money in the panorama boom In the bankruptcy court.
