CANAL IS FINE
PIECE OF WORK
Sen. 0'GOrman and Acting
SeCy. of War Breckenridge
Take Issue With Statement
Made by FrenChman.

WASHINGTON. oct 29.-"I would
rather take the word of Col. GOethals
on the Panama canal than the word
OF this Frenchman," said Sen. O'Gor-
man, chairman of the senate inter-
oceanic canals committee. respecting
the statement of Philippe Bunau-
Varilla, the French engineer, that the
Panama canal is a second or third
class piece of work
Il think no one disputes the state
ment that American engineers stand
foremost in the world, continued
Sen. O'Gorman.
This statement is Inconsistent with
another credited to this Frenchman to
the effect that Col. Goethals, II a
Frenchman, might BE elected president
of France. Certainly a man who had
done a second or third class piece of
work could have no claim on that
honor"
Acting Secretary OF War Breckin-
ridge took issue with the French en-
gineer
The Panama canal as it now stands
is one of the finest pieces of engin-
eering in the world" he said
THE locks have been most carefully
constructed and l am told that it
would take an earthquake more Sc
we're than Panama has yet eXper-
fenced to impair their usefulness.
Shocks reported from Panama about
three weeks ago were stronger than
any other ever recorded there. but
they did not damage the delicate
machinery of the locks in the least.
The canal at present can accom-
modate the largest ships afioat and
there is d margin OF safety which will
take care of even larger steamers
should such be built in the next few
years. The Gatun dam Is a st6uchly

STRAW AND GRASS FOR WOOD
EngIlshman Has Invented Efficient and Economical Substitute Material
 for Matches.

The annual consumption of wood in the manufacture of matches is almost incredible. In view of the scarcity of lumber and It's consequent high prices. Carre. an Englishman, offers, says America. what he claims to be an efficient and economical substitute It Is a composite made of straw and dried grass and Is called artificial wood
 The straw is passed through crush ing rolls, thence through cylindrical cutters which divide 1t into strips, af- terward supplied with an adhesive. The strips, inclosed at both ends with layers of paper. are forced through ether rollers and through linked molds in the form of chain. where they are subjected to heat and pressure, when they emerge in the form of round splits and are then cut to the proper length for matches.
 It is thought that this product may ba used for building purposes.

 What you need, my dear sir. is a broader vision. You have got into a rut. You ought to read more. Get the opinions of able writers on the current topics of the day. Your mind has become stagnant.

STARTING OF SEEDS INDOORS
Soil Must Be Kept Warm and Moist, but Not Too Wet-Avoid Crowd
 Ing Of Plants.

Shallow boxes or flats are eonsid- cred best for starting seeds indoors, but pots do not take up so much room. and are less unsightly. so for starting just a few seedlings or to try choice seeds we often use a pot, writes Lulu G. Parker In the Farmers Wife. We have started pansy and other seedlings often in the big pots in which rubber plants or oleanders. or other things which do not shade the soil, are growing.
 The soil must be kept warm and moist, but not wet. For this purpose a piece of glass over the top of the pot will help to hold the moisture, but this glass must be tilted up some what in order to let in some air or the soil will sour and the seedlings mold or damp of.
 Sift the soil for the top layer and cover the seeds about twice as deep as the seed is thick. Press the soil firmly over the seeds with the palm of the hand or little board before giving water so that they will not be washed out For very fine seed 1t will be good plan to spread damp cloth over the soil and then sprinkle the water on the cloth until the seeds be- gin to sprout.
 After the seeds begin to sprout they must be kept in the lightest window and never allowed to get too dry or to grow too crowded.
 The rest depends upon the seed it. self, therefore always buy from a reputable scotsman.

Drastic MarrIaae Rulea.

Marriage is regarded as something in the nature of serious offense by the state post, telegraph and tele- phone authorities of Russia.
 One of the most rigid clauses in the service regulations issued by the di- rector of the department of posts and telegraphs decrees that male or fe- male clerk in the combined services desiring 10 marry must choose his or her consort from among the postal or telegraphic personnel, under the pen alty of dismissal and loss of pension
 A peculiar instance of the working of the rule occurred quite recently. A male telegraph operator for some slight delinquency was dismissed from the service, This involved the neces- sity of his wife, also a telegraph op- orator. sending in her resignation. despite her long service and excellent record The poor woman, without means and with three small children to support appealed for reinstate- ment. She was briefly informed that before her appeal could be considered she must divorce her husband.

PROFITABLE WEIGHT OF PIGS
Age of Nine Months-Money in Young Animals.

Experiments made for the purpose of determining the economic weight of a pig show conclusively that he never should be fed beyond eight or nine months old, and the largest profit is found, as a rule, in weight not ex- ceeding 200 pounds What is known as the food of support, says a writer in the Farm and Home, plays very important part in the profit or loss of large weights.
 Suppose, as many farmers say, that a pig is not to be killed until he reaches 300 pounds. He must take from his food an increasing amount each day to support or maintain the weight already gained, or else he drops back. The experiments indi- cate that ? per cent. of the live weight in food must be taken each day to support that live weight
 If the animal weighs 300 pounds this amounts to six pounds of food daily. or over 40 pounds per week, and as the only profit is the food that is applied to make new weight. 1t re- suits that over 40 pounds of food are consumed per week from which no profit whatever Is reaped. It fol lows that the most money can be made from young hogs killed at a medium weight

Once she ! had written a letter to a man about investing in silver mine stock, and in her ignorance of the wlles Of the world she had poured out her heart so effusively that it had cost her $500 to get her letter hack It was because of this sad experience that she had written so formally to MT ,RexfOfd. Now that they mad met and he had seen her and she had seen him, she was sure he would forgive.
 Yes, Mir Rexford would forgive. He would even praise her maidenly dis erection, but was that her shopping bag? Shopping bags with the initial M" on them were so numerous that a mistake was easily made.
 Oh. there was not dHbt in the world about ownership That bag had called up too many sad thoughts for her to be mistaken in 1t. It had been a gift from dear friend-a very dear friend. Indeed. she was not ashamed to admit that she and that very dear friend had been betrothed only the week before he had been run down by an auto Yes. she had loved and lost, but.

 She opened 1t and plunged in her hand and thu stood up and shouted:

 What is it?"
 'Here-take it-gol was right in thinking you scoundrei of the black est dye. Oh. if were only a mani"
 When Mir Rexford got back to New York he had the bag with him, and he found q third letter awaiting him The bag so the writer said. was care lessly left behind when she left the train at Hartford, and she would be only too happy to pay any costs and get her property back
 Mir. Rexford started on his third journey. He was sure of the curiosity and romance now. He found Miss Merriweather at home He found her petite and amiable. Almost her first greeting was a laugh as she said:
 The whole family will feel re- lieved now.

 Coal offers to mankind solar energy In its most concentrated form. In. deed modern civilization may be said to be the daughter of coal.
