Mammoth Guns to Guard Panama Canal

two ends of the ditch will be defended
by seven forts in all, three at the At
lantic end and four at the Pacific open
ing. These works will constitute two
systems of forts-the four at the Pa
cifc end operating together, and like
wise the three at the Atlantic end.
The Notifications will all be under
ground. A hostile fleet approaching
from the ocean will see nothing but
a slope Of grassy greensward, whether
on the islands or on the mainland.
There will be nothing visible to shoot
at, for the great guns will be hidden
In concrete lined pits, from which
they are uplifted momentarily by their
disappearing carriages to deliver their
fire. Quite distance In the rear Of
each of the two groups Of forts will
be three large pits, each containing
four 12-inch mortars.
The locks of the canal necessarily
are vital points, and these will be de-
Tended by field fortifcations"-th
is to say, we'll constructed earthworks,
with six-inch howitzers, three-inch
field guns, etc. These works are in
tended. of course, for defense against
possible attack by land force. The
war department is going to maintain
a considerable body of troops on the
isthmus. 1t may be taken for granted
that the forts at the two ends of the
canal will be able to defeat any at.
tack from the sea.

WASHINGTON.-In the United
w States there are in all about
100000 miles Of roads Of one kind
or another-enough to reach around
the earth 100 times. Much of this,
however, is Of character not wor-
thy Of the name road. Some of 1t is
little better than rock pile, and 9th
ers are wide tracks through bitches
and swamps. OF the whole only seven
miles In each hundred can be said to
have any Improvements whatever, and
on the most of 1t the improvements
are such as to be unworthy of note.
Altogether not two per cent. can be
called first class. With the proper i'm
provement Of this network of roads
will come saving that will richly
repay the nation.
The roads in the United States may
not be the very worst In the world
but they are bad enough as whole
that is certain, compared with those In
other civilized countries. Europe is 9

or puddle. This does not add t.
pleasure alone. 1t is the means o.
saving millions Of dollars each veal

Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium
G LOWLY the federal arm is sweeping

G. LOWLY the federal arm is sweeping
~ In the opium flends. The recent
raid here by internal revenue agents,
when $4,000 worth Of the drug, pre-
pared for smoking, was confiscated
and the distributing organization for
the District of Columbia broken up,
was one Of series of big hauls in the
larger cities Of the country in recent
months, as a result of which several
hundred thousand dollars worth Of
the drug Is now in government pos
session.
In the last five months just such
hauls, many larger and more impor-
tant, have been made by means of
which agents have in many cases been
able to trace the drug to the Illicit
manufacturers, thus dealing the most
serious blow of ALL In Terre Haute
Ind, where the richest haul Of all was
made, nearly 100000 worth of the
drug was found when the inspectors
raided small river shack where tn,
crude opium was being prepared TO

Nation Loses Millions by Bad Roads

try roads is now about % cents per
ton to the mile. In the European
countries as long as IS years ago the
cost had been reduced to 10 cents, and
1t Is much lower today. On some Of
the roads going into London, by the
motor cars now in use, 1t Is less than
four cents, and by wagon freight can
be hauled almost anywhere on the con-
tinent for from one-half to one-third
its cost In the United States. The
saving effected under this system
amounts to hundreds of millions Of
dollars every year.
According to the report Of the inter-
state commerce commission in 1906,
our railroads handled more than 800,-
100000 tons of freight which originat-
ed on their respective lines. All this
had to be taken to and from the cars.
A great deal of 1t was made up Of the
products of the farm and the forests,
and 1t is estimated that at least 200,-
100000 tons of it had haul of nine
miles at cost of % cents ton. That
bill alone would represent more than
00,000,000, and other freights and
hauling would run the sum to $780,
100000 or over. Now suppose we cut
the wagon freight bill in half, or to
liz cents a ton, which ist still far
above the cost Of hauling in Europe.
and the saving would be $250,000,0 ,000
a year. In fact, the loss on our haul.
ing Is one of the greatest leaks of our
whole Industrial system. To save this
waste of effort and money should be
among the chief concerns of oul
people. 1t is gratifying to note that
they are awaking to the need of con
sistent and concerted action and tax
ing up the matter In earnest.

Bar Unbidden Guests From Naval Ball

ID ECENT agitation over the new re-
~ strlctions placed upon midshipmen
at the naval academy in the matter of
guests at academy dances has brought
forth from officials of the navy de-
partment n remarkable statement. 1t
was disclosed that heretofore the
doors of the naval academy have been
opened wide on the evenings OF
dances, and all presenting themselves
at the doors dressed as for a dance
have been admitted without question.
Several embarrassing situations
have developed from time to time
involving midshipmen in serious
trouble. Henceforth, 1t is stated, the
academy officials will require that no
person be admitted without presenting
a card of invitation, and the names of
all persons to whom such cards are
issued are TO be listed.
The invitations to balls and hops at
the naval academy" says the state
ment, have been either source Of
misunderstanding or a cause for at
tempting to stir up class prejudice.
Few fathers and mothers with sons
at the naval academy but would de-
sire and expect the authorities having
their sons in charge to endeavor to
keep them apart from that special
form OF temptation that haunts all
places where large bodies OF young
men are collected together.

DISEASE FOUND AMONG HOGS
Tuberculosis Affects Animals as Well
as Man-Loss Amounts to
Millions Annually.

Farmers Bulletin 473, issued by
Secretary Wilson, contains an impor.
tant and most comprehensive state
ment of facts on bovine tuberculosis.
The bulletin deals with the history,
nature, symptoms of the disease; how
1t spreads, how herd is infected, the
tuberculin test, and its prevention
and suppression.
Tuberculosis" the bulletin states,
"is widespread disease affecting anil
mails and also man. Human beings
and cattle are its chief victims, but
there is no kind of animal that will
not take it. Hogs and chickens are
quite affected; horses, sheep and goats
being affected but seldom, however.
The disease Is contagious. 1t
spreads from COW to cow in herd
until most of them are affected. 1t is
slow in developing and may not be-
come noticeable for months or even
years. The tuberculin test, which
cannot do harm to the healthy COW,
reveals the germ in a few hours, and
always proves successful when In the
hands Of an experienced veterinar-
ian."
"The disease is common among
hogs" the bulletin goes on. THE
public abattoirs report that serious
percentage of hogs inspected is found
to be tuberculous. The losses among
cattle and hogs are enormous, amount
ing to millions Of dollars annually"
Turning to the infection Of human
beings with the tuberculosis germ
through cattle, the bulletin says:
milk is the staple food of infants
and young children and is usually ia
ken in the raw state. If this milk Is
taken from a tuberculous COW 1t may
contain millions of living tuberclt
germs. Young children fed on suct
milk often contract the disease, ant
1t Is frequent cause Of death among
them.
Meat from tuberculous cattle is mo-
so likely to convey the infection fol
several reasons. 1t does not so fire
quently contain the germs, cooking
destroys those that may be present
and, lastly, meat ID not consumed By
very young children"
AS to the spread of the disease, the
bulletin says: Sooner or later thu
tuberculous COW begins to give off thu
germs of the disease. The germs es
cape by the mouth and nose, the bow
els, in the milk, and In discharges
from the genital organs. When th'
germs are being given off in any o
these ways, the disease Is known a
open tuberculosis"
The bulletin concludes with: DARK
dirty, crowded stables are favorabl
to tuberculosis. Under these cond
tions the disease spreads rapidly an
is only kept out with difficulty.
"Clean, airy, well-lighted stables, o
the other hand, are unfavorable to tn
development Of the disease. II brougf
into such stable it does not sprea
SO rapidly and is not difficult to 81
rid OF as in the first case.
"A well-built, sanitary stable nee

of elaborate design, but should hay

Light is very important. Dire
sunlight is a great destroyer Of ger
