The waters of the Pacific ocean have
been admitted to the Panama canal.
The work was done a few days ago by
the discharge of sixteen tons OF dyna-
mite which destroyed the dixie that
had been used to withhold the water
of Ancon harbor, on the Pacific side.
from that section of the canal lying
between Miraf1ores and an Pedro
locks. The excavation in his section
has thus far been carried on by means
of steam shovels, the water being kept
out for this purpose. Dredges which
have been in use in the harbor had
completed their outer work, and be-
came available for use in the canal it.
self, and the dixie was blown up and
the water admitted in order that the
remainder of the work may be done
by the dredges. The work on the ca
nal has been proceeding So quietly
that little general attention was paid
TO this quite interesting event.

tect. His comfortable bachelerhood
seemed somehow selfish and incom-
plete. Heaven knew it would be easy
to marry Elvira.
In a flash the doctor realized that
he loved. He had started out that
morning heartwhole and now he was
in love! The wonder In his heart was
not unlike that in Elvira's, but in his
there was no bitterness. He ierked
Dolly around almost savagely.
Talbot's house was quiet. After a
minutes hesitation the doctor walked
through to the kitchen. Elvira sat
there. her head on the pine table, one
arm and hand hanging.
The doctor went up to her and put
his arm around her shoulders. Look
Il re-" he said. you've got to marry
me-"
Elvira sprang up and pushed him
away sharply. ooh, no." she cried.
She began to sob in good earnest. ooh,
it's awful" she gasped. ITO tell you
and to have you pity me and think
you've got to provide! No, thank you!"
You're talking Wild" the doctor
said. He put his hands on her Shout
ders and looked into her agonized face.
II want you. Vira. 1 didn't know ii
before. but I do now. I love you and
I want you, and that's the Lords own
truth. dear"
Elvira buried her face in her hands
and swayed, but she swayed toward
the doctor.
I'm just a dreaming this" she said
finally. She'll be so happy-and I've
loved you since I don't know when!"

most important thing is the question
Of the proper kind of food and the
method of feeding. Careful and min
ute records are being kept to be given
out in pamphlet form soon.
Only the very best fowls are being
kept. twenty-five pens of them, each
containing from ten to twelve birds.

and. though Uncle Sam is not going
into the breeding Of fancy birds, it is
noticeable that he is running his place
with fine stock. In six pens are kept

which brings us to the subject of the
infertile egg.
Mr.. Lamon has issued already a cir.
cular on this subject, part of which
was quoted in a recent article here,
in which it was stated that $15,000,-
900 is annually lost in this country,
because Of the blood ring in fertile
eggs. In many cities the board of
health will not allow a rooster to be
Kept, and consequently many young
people who had chickens on the rear
end Of their lot gave up the idea Of
attempting to raise chickens. The
trouble has been that all people do
not know that a rooster Is not neces-
sary to the production of eggs.
The tncubating work on the govern
ment farm is lone with several 100
and 200 incubators the idea being to
give special attention to the small
chicken raiser and not to the men who
are running 1000 chick machines.
Mr.. Lamon believes in the incubator
chick. declaring that he has found
they have as much chance to thrive as
the natural chicks. In his expert.
ments. however. he has given atten-
ton to the eggs put into the incuba,
tor, using only the best-a matter
that is not always closely followed
by ordinary incubator people. He has
found. too, that in nearly all the in.
cubators used the thermometers were
from one-half to two degrees off
standard, and he has issued a warn
ing that all thermometers be thor
oughly tested.

ers was a slavish imitation of a Eu-
ropean custom. and not at all of Amer
car origin. In connection with the
dispute the old statement is often re-
peated that the proper dress for a
representative of this country abroad
is the simple "dress of an American
gentleman" by which is meant the
dress suit, consisting of clawhammer
coat. low-cut vest, and their usual ac-
compartments. lnasmuch as not one
American out of a thousand owns a
dress suit, or ever had one on, the
inference must be that only about
thai proportion Of our men are Ameri-
can gentlemen. This discussion of
clothes is repeated about once every
so often, n it starts no where and
leads no whittier. Still, it furnishes
matter for the comic papers, and food
a paragraph.

One of the greatest financial houses
in the world has been trying without
success to float a Brazilian loan. The
credit of the country is not called in
question n is generally held to be
good, but the money is not forthcom-
ing. The reason is that conditions
have prevailed in Europe of late which
have led to enormous demands for
money. and there has been none avail
able for outside enterprises. The Bal
kan war has had a great deal to do
with the situation. A tight money
market in one great center means a
tightening up all along the line. The
Balkan affair seems to be pretty we'll
settled. and the prospects are that
financial conditions will be easier in
the near future.
