has been induced to pass a bill making ii
legal to institute public school kinder

COLONEL LOST FIFTY-FIvE POUNDS.
Shows the Effect of the Hard Trip
Through the Jungle.

Para, Brazil May s.--Colonel Roose-
welt during his exploring trip through
the wilds of Brazil lost over ffty-fiye
pounds in weight. He is still rather
weak but his condition is better and he
is recovering from the abscess on his leg
from which he suffered after bruising
himself while working on a canoe in the
River Duvida. The colonel again ex-
pressed his enthusiasm over the beauty
and richness of the regions through
which the expedition passed. 1t is the
intention of the colonel to deliver lee
ture before the Royal Geographical So
ciety in London, when, it is said, he will
controvert the accuracy of some of the
affirmations of A. Henry Savage Lander,
the British explorer, in regard to the in
terror of Brazil, which was trayersed by
Mr.. Landor in l9l0-l2.

PANAMA CANAL
TRAFFIC PROMISING
Many Inquiries Have Been Received
From Steamship Companies Regard
ing Tolls, Conditions of
Navigation, Etc.

Panama, May 9.-Since announce
ment that the Panama canal probably
VIII be ready for through navigation by
July this year many letters OF inquiry
regarding the conditions to be imposed
have been coming to the canal authori-
ties from all parts OF the world 1t is
apparent that steamship companies of
all the great maritime nations expect to
make an almost immediate use OF the
canal,
The communications also indicate that
in virtually all cases the companies con-
template through service from Euro
pean ports to those on the west coast of
North, Central and South American
countries. Among the inquiries are
those regarding tolls, conditions OF nav
igation, pilotage in entering the terminal
ports and through the canal and the
charges for the service, wharfage facil-
tiles at Balboa and Christobal, location
and equipment of repair shops, eoaling
and provisioning facilities and host of
other items relating directly to the use
age of the canal.
Most of these questions are addressed
to the governor of the Panama canal di-
rect while others are sent to Washing
ton and are forwarded to the isthmus.
Ii is planned to turn them over TO the
newly appointed superintendent of trans
portation who will be instructed by the
governor to supply the desired informa
ton. Steamship companies which al
ready are represented on the isthmus
have sent their local representatives TO
the canal officials seeking similar infor-
nation.
II is apparent to the canal authorities
that as soon as the waterway shall
have been thrown open much greater use
for it will be made than has been an
ticipated. 1t has been stated that not
more than 100000 tons of traffic could
be expected for the first year the canal
is in operation. The letters of inquiry
seem to make it plain to the authorities
here that already greater tonnage for
the first year is indicated.
Passenger carrying lines are evineing
considerable interest in the question of
passenger tolls through the canal This
subject seems not to have been settled
to the satisfaction of the companies who
desire to be informed whether tolls will
be charged at all, and. if so, at what
rate. The letter indicates that most of
the companies are preparing for a heavy
passenger traffic through the canal next
year at or about the time of the formal
opening and thence to the exposition at
San Francisco.
Schedules of charges aside from tolls
for various services TO be performed
by the Panama canal are in the course
of preparation and probably will be pro-
in an official circular from the
Office in the near future.

A TOY ELEVATOR.


II there Is a kitchen porch to your
house, 1t will be easiest to build the
toy elevator to run from the ground
up to that porch, as illustrated in Fig.
1; and if you live in an upper story
of an apartment building, your ele-
vatOr can be made to run to much
greater height, which, Of course, will
be a great deal more fun. 1t will
save considerable work to use the
porch, because for one thing you will
not have to build an upper platform
to stand upon to reach the elevator
car when it runs to the top, and the
supports for the elevator cables and
guides can be fastened directly to one
of the porch posts.
Figure shows large detail of the
supports for the elevator cables and
guides. Cross strips A, B and C
should be Is or 20 inches long, about
2 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. At a
distance of about inch from one end
of strips A and B, screw screw-eye
into one edge, and inches from
these eyes screw second screw-eye
Cd, Fig. p. Screw-eyes with k-inch
eyes are large enough. A dozen of
these can be bought at the hardware
store for cents. The elevator guides
are fastened to them. Besides the
screw-eyes you must have two clothes

you will be able to find just what you
want among the grocer's empty boxes
1t is not likely that he will charge
you anything for the box. If you
have placed screw-eyes D inches
apart, as directed, the width of the
box should be trifle less than chis
measurement. OF course, you can
space screw-eyes D further apart than
this If the box you obtain is more
than inches wide.
Figure shows how the box is made
into a car. Screw two screw-eyes
into each side of the box, one over
the other, as shown at G, for the ele-
vator guides to run through, screw an
other into the exact center of the top
of the box CID, to tie the hosting
cable to, and screw another into the
exact center of the bottom of the box
to tie the lowering cable to. Nail a
narrow strip across the open front
of the car, at the bottom. to keep
things from falling out.
Get a heavy wrapping Irvine or
some stovepipe wire, for the elevator
guides. Attach them to screw-eyes d
in strip B, first, drop them to the
ground, slip them through screw-eyes

fasten to screw-eyes D in strip A.

Fastest Speed Made by Man.

Undoubtedly the fastest speed on
the earth was made by Burman in an
automobile at Daytonia, Fla, April 20.
1911, when he went a mile in 25.4 sec
onds. Ninety miles an hour has beer
approached by several in both automo
biles and motorcycles. Aviators have
exceeded 100 miles an hour. But such
speed is Insignificant when we con
slider that we are all travelling at the
rate Of 1000 miles and more an hour
by the daily revolution of the earth
and that, too, is insignificant when We
consider that the earth is travelling
through space at the rate Of 375,000,
900 miles year, or nearly $4,000 an
hour
