PANAMA CANAL TO BE AN
INTERNATIONAL WHITE WAY
Army Electrical Engineers
Making Elaborate Plans.

Details of the lighting equipment
being installed at the Panama canal
by the army engineers which, when
completed, will set Uncle Sans short
cut through the continent up as a
rival to New York's Great White
Way and which will make navigation
safe at all hours of the night, is de-
scribed by James Pattison in paper
read before the convention of naval
engineers and architects. Mr.. Pattison
was one Of the engineers who assist
ed in making the plans. To accom-
piish this double row of automatic
acetylene-lighted buoys are being
placed along the canal, and the chan
mel will be further defined by power
full rapid-fiashing range lights, which
will be stationed at various points
along the waterway. Through the
Culebra cut or wherever the prox-
unity of the bank permits beacons
will be installed instead Of buoys.
Acetylene was selected instead of
oil for the lighted buoys, Mr.. Patti
son explained, because of it's SUI
periority to oil for the purposes of the
case at hand Burned in a self-lu
minous burner, he said, acetylene
gives an intensely concentrated white
light, comparable only to sunlight
and five times as powerful as the
light from oil.

BISMARCK, UNLIKE WILSON,
HELD 3, NOT l3, AS LUCKY

Bismarck held. with Pythagoras,
that not 10, but 3, was the great and
perfect number. Bismarck's associa-
lions with 3 were remarkable. He
had served three masters He had
three names-Bismarck, Schoenhausen
and Lauenburg. The arms of his fam
lily are a clover leaf and three oak
leaves. He was concerned in three
wars and signed three treaties of
peace. In the Franco-Prussian war
he had three horses killed under him.
He brought about the meeting of
three emperors and was responsible
for the triple alliance. He had three
children. His family motto was In
Trinitate Robur'' C'Strength in Trim
ity''1, and contemporary carlcature
pictured him with three hairs on his
head. Three was the beginning, the
middle and the end of Bismarck.

GERMANY'S POPULATION
IS RAPIDLY INCREASING

Inc population statistics, based on
Inc imperial census of December /.
1910, just published, show that the
total population of Germany has in
creased by 1918 per cent. in the space
OF ten years. One of the most re-
markable facts shown by the new
statistical tables is the Importance of
the foreign element in tAe German
empire, and the extent to which the
foreign and foreign born populati ton
mas recently increased. With a popu-
lation of 63,925,993 subjects of the i'm
perial throne, Germany also counts
1,259,S73 foreigners within her from.
tiers. 1t is patent that Germany is
importing brains and labor, for the
increase in the foreign population has
been four times as rapid as that of
the native population-the increase,
indeed, was nearly 20 per cent. in only
five years, the total addition to the
foreign population within this period
being 231,313.
There is little fear that the chanac-
ter of the nation'will be changed in
consequences, as more than half the
foreign element comes from German
speaking Austria, and the next largest
element comes from Holland, coun-
try which has more in common with
Germany than most of the other ma
tions. In all, there were $4,000 Dutch
men, $4,000 Russians, 100000 italians
and $4,000 Swiss. The Rhine prov
inces continue to be more interna-
tional than any other part of the
empire. The statistics as to religion
show that the Protestants outnurnbe
Roman Catholics in the proportion OF
| three to two.
