NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Clayton ID.
Nell. of the United States forest serv-
ice. sailed today from New York LOT
British Guiana to inspect greenheart
timber to be used in the constructor
of docks and other marine works Tor
the Panama canal. He goes at the
reouest of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, in order that the engineers
may be sure that they are getting
genuine greenheart timber, for which
a. number of inferior substitutes are
offered.
Genuine greenheart has the reputa-
tion of being the most resistant wood
to the attack of marine borers and
to decay. Borers are especially bad
in tropical waters. The wood is. IN
addition, hard, heavy and durable,
and not subject to damage from I'M
pact and wear.
Outlasts Iron and Steel.
Indisputable records show that the
best grades of this wood surpass
iron and steel as to lasting quanties
in contact with salt water. 1t has
been known and used since 1863. Logs
have remained intact under water
for one hundred years.
Lock gates in English canals have
been made of it for years, and the
only limit of their durability so far
has been the length of service of their
iron bolts and fastenings, which
usually can be renewed without much
trouble. Greenheart in Liverpool

allow a deepening and widening of
the ship canal in 1894, was used over

The Loss to Mexico.

From the Eel Paso Herald.
Every American who has been liv-
ing and working in Mexico has been
worth, to the republic, on the aver
age, at least $500 pesos a year in
earning power. This earning power
has been applied to developing the
resources of Mexico. Assuming that
there were $4,000 Americans thus en-
gagged, and that they have practically
all left the country, or at any rate
ceased their productive work, owing
to the disturbed conditions, that
means loss of 25,00O,0 900 pesos a
year to the republic, or capital loss
(at per cent? of $500, 100000 pesos
or $1,25O, 100000 gold.
Mexico will suffer for a long time
as a result of the exodus, in addition
to the direct personal losses sustained
by the Americans themselves. The
Americans who have been forced to
leave are for the most part of type
that Mexico can i'll afford at this
stage of her national growth and de-
velopment to LOSE

WHY CHILDREN

The Charm of the Place Is

Mary Heatons Worse has a series OF
articles showing how the Montessorl
principle of education may be used
by the American mother at home.
The fundamental principle of DIR.
Montessori's system of education Is
liberty No child, she thinks, should
ever have a task imposed upon IL.
Discipline, Dr. Montessori says, must
come through liberty. We do not con-

movable as a paralytic. Such per-

disciplined Following is an inter-

to most children fortunate enough to
have one, what it is but the sense
that here at last is a place OF their
very own?-a place where nothlns

from the do and don't of grown

when you think of it, it is aston
ishing how much room we devote to
potential company and how little to
our children. 1 know whole towns

they can begin to develop the sense
of responsibility that the children feel

A number of other woods which
grow with greenheart in the tropical
forests of the Guianas resemble it so
closely that they are likely to deceive
even an expert. They have many OF
the qualities OF the genuine timber,
but in a lesser degree. Some are quite
inferior, and it is essential that they
should be avoided. In order that the
canal commission may be sure of the
right wood it asked the forest service
to assist it in an investigation OF the
greenheart situation in British

is a result of that request.

MY father was very warmheart-
ed man and he was especially tena-
cious and loyal in his friendships.
There was one instructor at West
Point, [ have often heard him say,
for whom he had, while a cadet, a
genuine affection, as well as admira-
ton and respect. And this instructor
was Charles F. Smith. He took spe-
cial interest, for some reason in
father, and used occasionally to have
pleasant chats with him.
I have often heard my father say
that General Smith was an ideal SOL
der and that he had every quallf1ca-
ton necessary to make a man pre-
eminent as a general.
Now, while still entertaining these
feelings of respect, admiration and
very high personal regard for General
Smith, my father suddenly found that
he had been made General Smiths
superior in rank That is, l mean
that my father received his appoint
ment as brigadier-general shortly be-
fore General Smith received his.

of the first things father did after he
became a general was to seize Paul.

looked upon Paducah as a strategic

Now, it so happened that General
Smith was stationed at Paducah.

fifteen years older than father, and
yet. through fathers earlier appoint
ment as brigadier-general, the rela-
lions between the two men as soldiers
were reversed.
