Tropical Diseases In Panama

Tropical Diseases In Panama
The frightlul ravages Of trop-
ical diseases is hardly realized by
those living in temperate reg
ions. In a recent number of
The Journal of the American
Medical Association. Col. w. C.
Gorgas, Chief Sanitary Officer
of the Canal Zone, gives an in
teresting account Of former con-
ditions in Panama, before the
'Unitsd States took charge.
From 1870, the year in which
the route across the Isthmus was
first established. to 1920. when
South America threw off the
Spanish yoke, the Isthmus Of
Panama was the chief route Of
travel between the western coast
Of North and South America and
Spain. A constant stream Of
Spaniards was always passing
through Panama. These Span
iards paid a heavy toll to yellow
fever, malarial fever and dysent-
cry. the endemic diseases Of
Panama. AS these travellers
were often the highest officials
Of Spain their death caused wide
comment throughout Europe and
gave Panama the deservedly bad
reputation which she obtained
at this time.
From 1920 TO the discovery Of
gold in California, in lS49. the
Isthmus was not much used.
but on the diocovery Of gold. un-
aeclimated Anglo-Saxons by the
thousands flocked to the Isthmus
for passage TO California. They
suffered from the diseases Of the
Isthmus just as did their pre-
decessors, the Spaniards. In
1853 the Fourth Infantry Of the
United States Army was sent TO
California by way Of the Isthmus
of Panama. General Grant was
Icuartermaster Of the regiment.
The railroad was completed at
this time only about half way
across 50 that the regiment had

ma. From the time they left
/ Colon 10 the time when they
reached San Francisco they lost
eighty men out Of $40. The
present railroad across the 18TH
mus was under construction from
1856. During this period the
mortality was so great that sew
eral times construction had 10
stop because the laboring force
had died or were sick. At one
time the construction company
imported 1000 negroes from the
West Coast Africa. and within
six months these had all died
of. At another time they brought
! over 1000 Cinnamon and in six
months these had died Oft.

FROZEN WITH HEAT.
A Remarkable Prsesss Known 40 the
Cslorie Paradox.


Freezing is usually associated with
cold. but water can Ike frozen on a red
bot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric paradox.
II q drop of water is placed on a red
hot or white hot metal plate it does
not suddenly fash into steam under
the influence of the great heat. 1t does
not even boil. 1t simply evaporates
quietly and slowly as It rolls about the
plate. Now. suppose that the drop on
the plate Is a volatile liquid like sui
phurous acid. 1t will evaporate. and
this evaporation will produce cold. Let
A drop of water fall in the sulphurous
acid drop and it will be frozen in spite
Of the heat.
M. Boutigny thus froze water on a
white hot platinum capsule. Faraday
carried this remarkable experiment
even further. Pouring some ether and
solidiHed carbonic acid gas on q, red
hot platinum capsule, he formed a
spheroidal mass which evaporated very
slowly. He then brought some mer.
curry into contact with 1t, and this was
instantly frozen. Now, mercury re-
quires a temperature Of 40 degrees be-
low zero to solldify It. and here 1t was
frozen on redhot platinum.

The decrease in the burden borne
by personal property in the twenty
two years covered by the above table
is now largely borne by the railroads
of the state, which Increased during
this period from three TO fifteen per
cent. This increasing burden borne
by the railroads also largely accounts
for the fact that the real estate ratio
has remained almost stationary for
the period. .u.
While the commission finds that all
personal property is bearing less than
its just burden of taxation it is in the
assessment of Intangible property,
such as moneys, and credits, stocks,
bonds. etc, that our present scheme
of taxation breaks down completely.
For instance, the commission points
