THE PANAMA CANAL.

The idea of an isthmian canal,
connecting the Atlantic and the Pa
cific oceans, is as old as the discov-
cry of the isthmus itself. For 400
years the notion of uniting the two
seas has been in mems minds. The
attempt of the French under De Les
seps failed, not from lack of en-
cheering skill or funds, but from
peculation and disease. The misap-
preparation of the funds and the
mortality resulting from fevers
brought the project to it's disastrous
ending. 1t was science, eliminating
the deadly fevers, that made it pos
sible for American money, brains and
energy to do the great work.

EASY TO DECEIVE THE EYE
Many and Varied Are the Optical lllu.
sions That Have Been Placed
on Record.

A curious optical illusion is some
times seen as motor car passes, the
wheels of the moving vehicle appear
ing for an instant to stop or even
turn backward. In an investigation
reported to the British Royal society
Prof. A. Mallock mounted card
board disk with spokes on a fywheel,
and when this was revolved so rap
idly that the spokes could not be
seen or easily followed by the eye,
and a slight mechanical shock of al
most any kind was given the observer
the spokes appeared almost station
airy for a fraction of second. Shocks
having this effect were given in many
ways, such as in the contact of the
feet with the ground as in walking,
by tapping the head or body, or even
by rapidly blinking the eyes. 1t was
proved that the appearances depend
on the speed of rotation, the bright
ness of illumination, and to some de-
gree on the nature of the shock. The
explanation was offered that the
shock produces a momentary loss or
variation of sensation. This yaria-
ton of sensation does not last the
same time in different persons, but
is always very short, and usually
about one-eighteenth of a second.

AIDED BY FAXED" PICTURE
French Statesman Helped In Election
by Means Which Might We'll Be
Called Dubious.

Monsieur Richepin and Monsieur
Ceccaldi were opposing candidates
for seat in the French chamber of
deputies. At one of their meetings
an ARRAY occurred in which one of
M. Richepin's partisans was struck
down by an assassin supposed to be
of the Ceccaldi party. The Paris
journals have reproduced this scene.
The truth was that in the riot it was
impossible to photograph the scene.
But the picture furnished by M.
Richepin was dramatic in the ex-
IRENE and doubtless aided in his
election. M. Richepin was on his
way home, accompanied by number
of faithful friends and some photog-
raphers, when this dramatic picture
was posed. He stopped at bridge.
There with his. friends crowded about
him, an excited throng, stood NJ,
Richepin, one hand leaning upon the
bridge, the other hand holding a
handkerchief dripping with the blood
of the murdered man. The blood for
the handkerchief, it is said, came
from neighboring wine shop and
was poured from bottle of red ink.
With this beginning background
was set in representing M. Richepin
standing on the steps of the hotel
where the tragedy occurred.

?ERILED LIFE FOR MONEY
Vienna Woman Set an Example of De.
votion to Husband Which Will
Make Many Shudder.

In order to help her husband,
whose affairs we're in a desperate
way, and who urgently needed funds,
Nine. Solange d'Atalide, a French
circus rider in Vienna, conceived a
way of making money at the immi-
nent peril of her life.
She contracted with a cinemato-
graph company, for large sum, to
furnish it with unique and highly
sensational film. She undertook to
ride horse on top of one of the cars
On the Big Wheel all the way round.
The wheel, as all who have seen it
are aware, reaches a perilous and
dizzy height, trying to the nerves
even of the passengers safely seated
in the interior of the cars. But to
ride outside on horseback must in
deed be terrible trial, which neces-
states the utmost courage and nerve.
Nine. Solange d'Atalide passed
through the perilous ordeal with
credit, watched by a huge and awe,
struck crowd. The horse had been
trained by being placed upon the top
of large van, which was moved
about. As for the cinematograph
operators, they were at a giddy
height, seated on the hub of the
wheel, and were heartily glad when
the whole thing was over.
