Way to Woo SIeep.

The following method is described
as one which is almost certain to WOO
slumber with success. On going to
bed you assume a comfortable atti-
tude in which every muscle is relaxed.
but not the attitude in which you are
accustomed to go to sleep, though
something resembling IT, Every move
ment, coughing, yawning, are strictly
repressed, especially the desire to
turn over. The same attitude is main
tanned without change, constantly re-
sisting the longing to move or turn
over
AS a rule, by the end of IS or 20
minutes of this persistent mainte-
nance of the same attitude you will
find yourself growing very drowsy
and then, just as the desire to turf
over becomes absolutely uncontroll-
able, you turn with the least posi-
BILE effort. and assume the position
in which you habitually go to sleep
and Natural sleep follows at once.
This method, it Is claimed seldom
fails ard should be given a thorough
trial, at least before resorting to a
drug to bring sleep.

and the great locks have been con-
structed The work that remains TO
be done is largely detail, and is but
child's play as compared with that
which has been done. More dirt is
to be removed from the channel, but
this will be done with suction dredges
floating upon the waters of the canal,
There still remain some finishing
touches to be placed upon the locks,
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties such as have been en-
countered in the past.
The fact that the canal stands prac-
tically complete more than year be-
fore the time originally set as the
date for its completion is one Of the
remarkable features Of the work
When Count de Lesseps. the great
French engineer, abandoned his eff
forts to build the Panama canal after
eight years of labor, he had scarcely
made a beginning upon the gigantic
task In nine years, the American
engineers, starting almost at the same
point as de Lesseps, for the latters
work was of little value to the Ameri-
cans, have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the idea
that it could be completed within the
time limit set, but hats are now off
to the American army engineers who
have more than kept their word de-

HYMNS ARE POORLY WRITTEN
Good Poets Have Not Composed Re-
- 'iisous Songs We Sing, Says
Eneishman.

1t is melancholy thing to read an
English hymn book. Doubtless for
most of us sacred associations gather
around the hymns we sing, so that we
abandon ourselves to the feelings
called up by these associations, and
do not notice what we are singing,
writes Prof w. H. D. Rouse in the
English Review. Yet if in a critical
mood we examine them we cannot but
be overcome with melancholy.
They are so we'll meant and so badly
expressed, SO pious and so ridiculous
They are sentimental when they
should be impassioned, groveling in
stead of penitent, incoherent when
they ought to be simple.
1t is not true that great poets are
irreligious; on the contrary, their
glory it is to see a soul of goodness
in things evil, and this is the essence
of religion. Yet our hymns are obvi-
ously not written by poets. There is
surely no reason why religion and illit-
eracy should be unequally yoked to-
gether, and it were better to sing no
hymns at all than to sing trash.

1t is beginning to look as though the
funniest lines in the theater are saved
out of the plays and used between the

made during an entire acte speech.
And last night this growing fashion
was again illustrated at the Criterion,

audience, said:

Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut. is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation of this lake, together with the
construction OF Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
In the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake is an artificial body OF
water covering about 1854 square miles
or territory and was created by the
building OF the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
tiers OF Chagres river Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what a few
months ago was the valley of the
Chagres. dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for a
distance of "a miles with width vary
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
AT the northern end OF the lake
is the Gatun dam, which is in reality
an artificial ridge more than a mile
and a half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea of the magnitude Of
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
its base, about 400 feet wide at the
water surface. and 100 feet wide at
the top, the dixie which many enei.

GoethaIa To Make Final Lest

spite unforeseen difficulties that have
beset them at every hand.
Cocktails to Make Final Test
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be a boat OF the
lsthmian canal commission, Col
George W. Cocktails, chairman OF the
commission and chief engineer Of the
canal, and his principal assistants
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month it is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage of the largest ships
1t is said that as long ago as the
early part OF August, assurances we're
given Washington ficially that IL the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship fleet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within so days from that date The
work has been hurried with that end
in view, 1t is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance Is an
indication OF the belief Of the engi-
neers that their work is now practical
ly finished
Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation OF the Culebra cut,
into which the water has just been
turned. has been one OF the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
Of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9th
er portion of the big ditch" To
Col. D. d. Gaillard, the engineer Of
the central division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion OF the
work through to a successful termina-
ton.
The disastrous slides In the cut
were discouraging to the engineers,
multiplying in few hours the work Of
many weeks. but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks OF the deep
cut The engineers believe that the
danger of slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than a month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work in the Culebra cut. Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work There is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction

End of Work Is Near.
WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First Steps Are Taken Toward De-
struction Of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gatun Lake Out
Of Culebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct 1.-The climax
0f nine years of untiring work on the
part of the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
ton OF the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
Into the cut today through four 26-
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters of the lake back from the cut.
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10, when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded. The explosion of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken It and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force Of the
waters from Gatun lake will carry it
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants OF the dixie, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be Off
cially declared completed for some
time, and the formal opening of the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than year distant. the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction of the Gamboa dixie as mark
ing the real completion of the canal
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed.
