Here and There.

Possibly the Panama canal may yet be
a gain to the world in one unexpected
way. The size of the battleships we are
now to build must be limited, as to beam
at least, because of the dimensions Of the
canal. For some decades we have been
hearing that war Ia abolishing itself by
reason of its costliness, which the
nations can not endure, and all the time
we have been spending larger and still
larger sums in the endeavor to keep up
with the costly game. We have talked
of disarmament while building nayies on
a rapidly enlarging scale. IL the Panama
canal has actually marked a limit, il is
something to be thankful for. But
there's way outl Just as soon as the
canal is completed, begin to widen it.
We must keep up with the game

"The waterfalls are low. With leaf or bough
The winds converse but seldom; thy true voice,
o August, is the thunderi so rejoice
With passion deep thou dost the earth endow,
Bringing to temperate climes an India near,
Making the meadows pale-golden the ear
OF rustling corn; and capable to bow
The Utmost spirit with an awful fear
When, lightning charged. thy lofty turretclouds
Stand out with edges white against the blue
And breathless heaven. Oh, far from towns and
crowds
would thy bounty and thy anger view,
eve thank Thee. Father, for all that is bright
The CLEAN of the days and the star, Of the night,
The flowers Of youth and the fruits of our prime,
And blessings that march down the pathway of
time."
