OUR BIG CANAL.

lie Value to Uncle Sam For Military
Purposes Alone.
mo man can tell what the ultimate
results may be of the opening Of the
Panama canal" says Farnham Bishop
in "The Story of Panama" but the
benefits which we expect to derive
from 1t may be divided into two classes
military and commercial.
Even IL 1t should prove ar utter
failure commercially the canal would
still be worth all it has cost Us for
military purposes alone. Without it
Uncle Sam Is in the position of a
householder who has to run around the
block to chase a tramp out Of the back
yard. With it we can keep our navy
concentrated in M powerful feet and
move it from the Caribbean to San
Francisco or back again in a couple of
weeks.
more than two months was required
for the battleship Oregon to steam at
full speed round South America from
San Francisco to Cuba. where she was
sorely needed at the outbreak Of the
Spanish-American a Had the Pana-
ma canal been in existence in 1893 she
would have had to 60 only 1900 miles
instead of 13.4OO. and she would have
been ready to meet the enemy's feet
six weeks earlier. and a lot of things
can happen in the first six weeks of a
modern war"

THE ART OF POISONING.
Subtle Methods Used by the Natives Of
Central Africa.

Subtle Methods Used by the Natives Of
Central Africa.
The Central African native is a mas
ter In the art of poisoning and always
on the watch for it. He will never
take a drink Of water or beer Or eat
of a dish. ever when offered by a
peaceful acquaintance. until the host
has eaten or drunk some Of it to pledge
It's harmlessness. He Is always in
fear of treachery, and with good rea-
son, for an assassin is cheaply hired.
Vegetable poisons may be made by al
most any one. and the methods of ad-
ministering them are cunning beyond
description.
One Of the ~cleverest ways. often re-
sorted to when a a gets into his
head an idea that a neighbor is injur-
ing him by witchery, is to kill the un-
~suspecting victim by means Of poison
ed stakes and at the same time avoid
suspicion, which would inevitably lead
to a similar vengeance.
Procuring little sharpened sticks, the
murderer hollows their points and in
serts poison usually made by boiling
down the Juice of certain shrubs or
creepers) into the cavities. These be
secretly plants upright, but leaning a
little along the path which leads from
the doomed negro's hut to his garden.
Sooner or later the intended victim
slightly lacerates his bare foot by hit
ting n of these sharp stakes. He
takes no notice of the scratch. for he
is used to such tri6ing injuries. but in
q few moments his foot and leg begin
to swell, and an hour or so later he
expires in agony.
The bark and roots Of several trees
and shrubs yield virulent poisons when
properly brewed. one Of which has the
peculiar effect of at once p~aralyzing
the organs of speech. The gall Of the
crocodile when dried In the sun and
pulverized is also very deadly. The
most fatal poison. however. is that
prepared from an ugly. whitish tree
called ujungu In German East Africa.
1t grows in only a few localities. and
few natives will venture to cut it
down. for a mere prick with q splinter
will cause terrible and sometimes IA.
tai Inflammation. The negroes say
that neither moths o snakes will 60
nea it and that birds never rest in its
branches.
To make this poison the wood is
burnt and its ashes are mixed with
water and then boiled down to a thick
paste. The natives will travel hum
dreds of miles to procure this paste.

rows and spears and the bullets of
their guns, dipping them after the
smearing in hot beeswax to form q
protective covering against loss Of
power as well as against accident

the AUTOMOBILE RAGE.

osen There Will d One Car Fer Every
Hundred Of Our Population.
Fifteen years ago the automobile was
only q travellers tale and the hobby Of
q few crack Drained experimenters.
Five years ago the automobile facto
ries Of the United States produced
about 100000 cars. This year about
10000 carr will be built. whose total
value will exceed 5000. 100000. One city
alone will produce 100000 cars, one
factory 100000.
In 1906 the lowest practical price for
an automobile was $500; today q bet
ter one costs but 5000. Cars equal to
those costing $500 and $1,000 i've
years ago cost $1.I00 and $500 to-
day, and $500 buys a al better than
the $1,000 car Of the earlier date.
In 1908 about 100000 Of u citizens
owned automobiles; before summer
there will be an automobile for every
100 persons. In 1908 U export mo-
tor business was not worth mention
ing; last year it exceeded $25,000.O0O.
Five years ago this country had but
q sprinkling Of motor trucks. They
were poorly built: their advantages
were doubtful. The only thing certain
was the enormous latent demand. To-
day there are some 10000 motor trucks
giving satisfaction to $4,000 owners,
and the percentage of growth in this
business exceeds that in the pleasure
car field.
Today the invested capital in the au-
tomobile business in this country alone
rivals that of the United States Steel
corporation.
Most Of the employees are skilled,
most of them work in modern. whole
some factories, and all are well paid

man is the state. He needs no
army, fort or navy-he loves men
too well; no bribe or feast or
palace to draw friends to him.
no vantage ground. no favorable

ct; no statute book. for he Is the
lawgiver; no money. for he is

where he is: no experience, for
the life Of the Creator shoots
through him and looks from his

Robbina the Gold Mines.

Despite the precautions which are
taken to prevent theft. 1t il said that
gold to the value Of 100000 II an
nually stolen from the mines on the
Rand. South Africa. This thievery Is
done systematically, and. although 4
corps of detectives is employed for the
purpose Of detecting theft. there have
been no convictions for a long time.
There is a woman who has grown very
wealthy in the business of buying gold.
and. although the officials are sur OF
her nefarious calling, all efforts to trap
her have been unsuccessful. Special
laws have been passed to meet the re-
Quirements of the gold mines. but even
these have been Intellectual.

An UnIuekx Bill Collector.

Verify the way of the bill collector
is hard and dangerous too. A CORE
spondent Of the London Telegraph,
writing from Madrid. says that ian ex-
traordinary occurrence is reported
from Corunna. In the upper story Of
q house in that town lay the dead
body of an old woman. Suddenly the
floor of the room collapsed. and the
corpse fell on a group Of men in the
room below. One Of the men died
from the injuries caused BY the fall
ing corpse. and the others were severe
~ hurt A curious coincidence Is that
the man who was killed had gone to
the house to present an outstanding
account, not knowing that his debtor
had died.

A Royal Reprimand.

Il tutor was nee EN-. loyed to teach
the son of a king. The young prince
was sometimes disobedient. But in
the esteem Of the tutor it was not
quite proper to whip the son Of a king
with a common switch. So to the
lapel Of the boys coat the teacher
pinned 4 piece Of purple ribbon. When
the young prince manifested a dispo.
si1on to defy authority the instructor
pointed with the end Of the rod to the
purple ribbon on his coat. This was
q appeal to his royal blood.
