TIE RESULTS OF
SANITATION IN PANAMA.

Since Uncle Sam started to dig the
Panama Canal, every one has known
that one Of the most important prob
lens to solve was how 70 keep the
workers alive and well until the work
was finished. Sanitary work in Pan
anna has always been considered very
important. From the first discovery
OF America, this point had been the
place Of crossing between the two
oceans in the western hemisphere, and
therefore there has always been az
fanama a large number Of unaccli-
laated Europeans. These unacclimated
Europeans were food for tropical in
fectious diseases. particularly yellow
fever. For this reason, saws Col. Cor
gas. in a recent Issue of The Journal
Of the American Medical association,
Panama has acquired the reputation
Of being the most unhealthy spot
known. when the United States com
meaced the building of the canal in
I9g4. this fact had been sharply ac-
ceftuated by the recent experience o.
our immediate predecessors, the
French. The French company kert a
large force on the IsthmUs for eight
years. Their losses from tropical dis
eases. particularly yellow fever,
startled The world. But between the
tine OF the failuresef the French eom,
iisay in 1889 and the undertaking
OF the work by the Americans. two
great discoveries had been made in
the field Of tropical medicine which
reyolutionized sanitation in the trop
! .cs. The Grst vas the discovery IL

hat malaria is conveyed by the bite Of
me female of a particular genus OF
mosquito. The other was the proof By
Walter Reed and his eonfreres that
yellow fever is conveyed from man
TO man by the bite Of the female of
another species of mosquito. Walter
Reed was a surgeon in the United
States Army aud announced the
achievement OF his board in the year
1901. The discovery that yellow fever
was conveyed by a mosquito was of
even more importance to tropical
America than the discovery that ma
laria was conveyed IN this way. At the
time that Reed announced tie discoy'
cry, the United States had control Of
Hayanna. Methods were worked out
whereby Reeds and Ross discoveries
could be made of practical utility. I'm.
expected success was accomplished
as to both yellow fever and malaria
Within year yellow fever had disap
peared from Havana For a hundred
and fifty years before that time this
city mad never been free from yellow
fever. Malaria disappeared more slow

quito work. ssA..o, deaths from malaria
in the city OF Havana have dropped
from an average Of $50 per year 10
an average of about ten. The success
in Havana having been so marked,
the United States determined to apply
the same principles at Panama. Work
was commenced in May 1904; in May,

rHE FOLLY o. FLOODS.

Under the above caption the
Worlds Work for April prints most
timely editorial on the control of the
food waters of our larger rivers and
the reclamation Of overflowed lands,
with especial application to the great
Mississippi valley.
The subject was suggested by the
bill now before congress for approval
Of a plan 10 construct works TO con-
troll the flood waters Of the Sacramen-
to river in California. which was pre-
uared by the California Debris COM
mission. body OF engineers appointed
Jointly by the state and the war de-
partment. 1t is planned to spend thir-
ty million dollars TO safeguard 100000
acres of reclamation lands in the Sac
ramento valley and to make possible
the reclamation of 100000 acres OF
submerged or periodically flooded
lands. When it is considered that the
losses there resulting from floods in
three years amounted to eleven mil
lions, the estimated cost of protective
works is not unreasonable.
If the control Of the Sacramento is
desirable and possible of accomplish.
ment, how much more important is the
problem of the Mississippi? This is
indicated by the following compari-
sons:
The Sacramento river and its trib-
utaries drain a watershed and basin
of less than 10000 square miles; the
Mississippi and its tributaries drain
an area of l .257.6O0 square miles. The
total discharge OF the Sacramento
river at its mouth, at extreme flood,
is about 10000 second feet; the nor
nal discharge fthe Mississippi at
New Orleans is 100000 second feet,
and during floods is. Of course, i'm
mensely greater. The population OF
the Sacramento watershed and basin
is less than a million: the population
OF the Mississippi valley is more than
forty millions"
The writer concludes: "The Missis'
sippi valley below St Louis is the
Nile OF America. the immense fertile
he'd of a continent. Civilization was
born under the benefeent Influence OF
the Nile. and Egypt has been a re
incarnated nation since the English
engineers have harnessed the great
river. Civilization in the Mississippi
valley has been blighted by floods and
destruction, and after a hundred years
1 OF settlement the great valley Is II
many ways the most backward part ol
the country except at a few points
where high bluffs have allowed an oe
casionaI city TO perch like watch
tower to overlook a semi-developeS
region that should be sending wealti
Of produce through its markets.
The redemption of this fertile EN-
pire to the best uses OF man is one o
he most colossal and most presssin'
| material tasks that confronts the ma
tion." \

THE LATEST
MEXICAN MURDER.


MEXICAN MURDER.
Civilization performs its work slow.
Is in Mexico. The Spanish eonquerors
were only little less cruel than the
races they never quite conquered but
managed to hold In state of partial
subsection. The founder sthe repub-
lie, after the murder OF ItuTbide, were
not at all less bioodthirsty than the
Spanfards they ousted. For thirty
years however after long period Of
turmoil, Mexico enjoyed peace and its
benefits under the firm +Tcle of Por.
hrio Diaz. Murder for revenge be-
came rare; public officers were not
permitted to use their power to punish
their personal enemies. Industries
grew and thrived, foreign capital was
freely invested in Mexican enterprises.
Public schools were established and 4
middle class, interested in the arts Of
peace was developed in the centres OF
population. 1t Is true that the indolenr
peon remained unchanged. and the
wealthy landowners. the haciendados,
because OF the blindness of the gov
eminent in keeping their lands un-
taxed, lived on in their old baronia!
way, doing nothing to upbuild the
country. The courts were inefficient
and corrupt. and as commerce and in
dustry thriyed wellfounded suspicion
of dishonesty in high places vas gen.
eral, says the New York Times.
y change was inevitable, but it was
brought about in the worst possible
way. An incompetent visionary whom
circumstances made the leader Of a
revolt endeayored to reform the gov
ernent, but succeeded only in re-
awakening the spirit of revolution
which had slumbered under the effect
i've rule of Diaz and arousing the old
murderous instinct The killing o:
Hernandez by the drunken and drug
crazy temporary governors OF the fed
eral district, Zepeds, is one of a Sc
ries of incidents in recent Mexican
history which have shocked the whole
world. 1t is no worse than hundred
crimes the outlaw Zapata and his men
have been committing. But from
every point OF view it is atrocious. 1t
will inevitably strengthen the doubts
that have existed from the first of the
stability and good intentions of the
provisional government, which, how
ever, has acted promptly in arresting
the assassin and depriving him OF his
official power.
II is no news that the condition o,
pubiic affairs in Mexico is uncertain.
that peril threatens on every hand,
ana the outcome is dubious. But busi-
ness is better protected tran it has
been since November, 1910; Ameri-
cans resident in Mexico feel that their
lives and property are safer, many
small rebellions have been suppressed,
but the new uprisings in the North
have become formidable. In the cir
cumstances there is nothing for the
government at Washington TO DO but
be watchfu1 and withhold its recogni-
ton OF the Huerta government until It
seems to be deserved. The people Of
this country have abundant troubles
Of their own. and they viii do well
neither 10 condemn all Mexico for the
crime of Zepeda and similar crimes
nor to expect Of nation whose his
tory is full Of bloodshed a sudden ces
sation Of political MURDER. We must
all keep our eyes open and hope for
the best.

Artificial Swimming Fish.

The means by which an artificial fish
Is made to swim in a glass globe filled
with water is interesting. Attached to
the underside of the imitation fish is
glass tube terminating inside the fish
in a metal disk over which is stretched
a rubber membrane. The neck of the,
globe, which is placed upside down on
a stand, is closed by a flexible menu
brane held in place by cork. BY,
means of small lever. connected with
the flexible membrane, pressure may be
eXerted on the water, and this pressure
forces water through the tube into the
fish, causing it to descend in the same
manner that submarine is caused to
descend by the taking in of water bal
last. When the pressure is released
the water streams out, propclling the
fish forward in an ascending course
