Compensation Given
To Injured Canal Men

A system Of compensation for injuries
to employees in the Panama Canal Zone
Is embodied in an executive order signed
by President Taft late yesterday and
effective March i. Authority for the
issuance Of the order was embodied In
the canal act passed last August.
The plan was modelled on the informa-
ton available on the general subject o.
workingmen's compensation, chiefly
representing that gathered by the House
and Senate as a basis for pending legis.
lation of that nature.
Contributory negligence and other
rules restricting the liability of the en-
ployer are wiped out in this order and
compensation Is fixed for every injury
under all circumstances except as II
may occur from willful intention or In
toxication.
For the first time the Federal Gov.

PALM MER LAND.
Yankee Lad Who Carried the Ameri.
can FLAG to Antarctic.

History presents from time to time
some curious anomalies, and not least
among these Is the story Of the origi-
nal discovery of the great continent
surrounding the South Pole. A. grim,
inaccessible coast guarded from mans
approach by fields Of impossible Ice
foes and bergs, 1t resisted all efforts
of the ablest of early explorers to
win its shores.-only to be discovered
at last by a boy Of Is in command OF
little Acton sloop.
Nathanial Palmer was the lad 8
name, says the Outing Magazine, and
he came of the best Of old New Eng
land seafaring stock. After sorae pre-
liminary training at sea young Pal
mer sailed in 1912 or 1914 as second
mate of bark bound for the sealing
grounds of South Africa. After
some weeks Of fruitless exploration
and terrific struggles with the wintery
gales Of the region about Cape Horn
they came at last to the South Shet-
land Islands and soon had flied the
vessels hold with fortune In furs:
This voyage made such a stir In all
the New England seaport towns on
their return that before many years
second expedition was fitted out
and Palmer, now Captain MAJ, was
sloop called the Hero, which was sent
along in consort with the larger YES
sells. This diminutive craft could
hardly have been more than 80 rect
in length, but she weathered success
fully the rigors Of wind and sea and
arrived in due course at her destina-
ton. ..".
At this time nothing was krown Of
the existence Of any land Of continen-
tai extent within the Antartic circle
nor did Captain Nat much care
whether there was such or not, Wnat
he was looking for were seals. so
when he came upon a long strelch OF
coastline facing TO the north IN tne
vicinity of the sixtieth meridian west
of Greenwich he examined the shore
for possible rookeries, and. finding
nothing but Ice and penguins, sailed
away again to the northward.
A few days after this the little He
ro fell in with two tall ships Of the
Russian navy under Commander Bel
lingshausen. When young Palmer
went on board for lunch, at the COM
mander's invitation, and mentioned
casually his discovery Of land to the
south'ard he must have been surprised
indeed to learn that that which he, IN
his little sloop had blundered upon
unsought and had turned away from
in disgust, these mighty ships Of the
czar of all the Russias had for two
years been seeking in vain!
Commander Bellingshausen, to DO
him justice, gave young Palmer full
credit for the discovery, and this-the
first portion Of the Antarctic continent
to be seen by man--is set down upon
the maps today as Palmer Land, In
enduring tribute to the daring OF the
Yankee sailor lad who first caught
sight of 1t from the deck Of a little
sallboat in the year Of grace 1921.

The British people. having put down
Napoleon, began thinking that 1t
might be Just as well to put down the
clique of little Napoleons at home,
writes the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory In
the New York American, who were
strutting around In their imaginary
greatness and doing much harm to
the rank and file Of the kingdom. Hay-
ing settled the affairs Of the conti-
nent, they very wisely concluded that
1t was about time to begin settling
their own affairs.
In word, the people began holding
meetings to discuss the wayD and
means of relieving the political and
economic situation in which they
found themselves, a situation that was
as full Of distress as 1t was Of humili-
alton. i, Y@a .s
Now, my Lord Sidmouth, yoicing the
sentiment Of the greater part OF the
British aristocracy declared that these
public meetings were as dangerous as
they were presumptious.
A member Of the house of lords thus
unbosomed himself: These meetings
are not meetings Of the people Of Eng
land but of vagabonds. They sap the
spirit of loyalty, Of morality, Of reli-
gion, and serve to subvert our laws
and our liberties" Still another said:
Reform Is innovation; innovation is
revolution; revolution means the, gull
lotine and the dagger. Down with re-
form"
To this balderdash thu reply OF the
people was: "The question now is as
to the paramount and imprescriptable
right Of the people of England to
meet and express their opinion upon
the political state Of the country. We
hold that to be a right not only or
Englishmen, but one inherent In man

tutions and Of which no political in
stitution can deprive mankind
With his green bag Sidmouth went

important Of them being the 'setlitious
meetings aet"' prohibiting the assem-
bling Of the people for public discus
sion, and the bill for the suspension

the most sacred provision Of Magma
Charta, gave powers to ministers to
arrest practically any one they wished.

Such was the result Of the first at

Of England to secure the freedom OF
speech upon which all governmental
justice and all personal self-respect
necessarily depends. It was a 2orlorn
beginning. But fortunately 1t was
only a beginning. The fight was kept
up, and today there is no freer people

STONE CUT WITH SHOT
Sand and Emery Being Superseded
by New Method.


1t is popularity supposed that the
saving of stone into slabs or blocks is
done by sand and water beneath some
suitable tool. But sand and emery
have been abandoned in favor of chill
ed-steel shot Steel shot is now made
so hard that 1t cannot be bruised or
crushed under the heaviest pressure
whereas sand or emery Is soon reduc-
ed to an ineffective powder. A piece
of work can be done thrice as fast
with shot, SO that the savings OF
time. SAYS Harpers' Weekly, makes It's
use cheaper than to use sand. The
wear on the tool Is far less also, ana
there is greater accuracy In the cut. a
particle of sand is effective In saving
only when 1t imbeds itself In the olade'
to stand there as small, sharp tooth'
which removes from the stone below IT
one grain at a time and no more. A
shot rolls over and over between the
blade and the stone, and as the point
of contact is very small, the pressure
there concentrated crushes the hard
est stone to splinters of apL .eclaple
size, Shot Of different sizes should be
worked together, as the largest teno
to escape from under the blade first,
then the next in size, and so on, leaV-
ing some under the blade to the end
of the cut.
The durability Of the shot Is amaz :
ing. Under a ring drill, steel shot Is
employed in borings Of all sorts In
quarrying. etc. In sinking the founda-
tions for the Hudson Terminal In New
York, cores six to eight inches IN di-
ameter were thus taken out more
economically than was feasible by any
other method. This hard shot Is also
taking the place of sand and emery ir'
grinding and polishing stones. finish
ing a Job far more rapidly than for
merly. No special machinery Is re-
ouired and only the simplest Of tools.
A strip of sheet iron notched along its
edge like a saw with teeth half an
inch high and two inches apart will
eat its way through a stone by aid Of
the shot at a rapid pace.
