American flag was not flying on the

fore the flag had not been insulted
and that compliance with the demand
for an unconditional salute would be
humiIiating to Mexico.

any evidence of hostility towards

A PERPETUAL PANAMA.

Engineering is proud of the stu
pendous eXcavating OF the Panama
Canal. Yet every year since the be-
ginning of the canal excavations
equal to the entire amount of digging
necessary for the construction of the
canal have been made in the anthra-
cite fields of Pennsylvania alone.
From 1904 to 1913, inclusive, the aver
age of net tons of coal produced from
the anthracite mines was 81,600,000.
A long ton of this coal, which Is more
than 10 per cent. greater than q net
ton, measures at least one cubic yard
in the vein. Annual output would
thus account for about 90000.000 of
the 1876, $4,000 yards needed for the
Panama Canal. But every ton of
coal means more than n ton of rock
and refuse, which would be equiva-
lent to fully 100 100000 cubic yards in
addition to the coal. Strippings are
estimated at 100000 cube yards a
year. And miles of drainage tunnels
cut through solid rock increases the
total annual wardage of the anthra-
cite mines to a total greater than the
yearly wardage of the Panama Canal.
Panama construction is a matter Of
sunlight. Coal extraction is a work
in darkness. Transportation of canal
digging Is immediate. Coal has to be
carried further and must be raised
from 800 to 5000 feet. As the thicker
veins are becoming exhausted and the
narrower veins are being worked, the
proportion of rock and refuse is in
creasing. This viii mean even at the
present rate of production an annual
excavation far exceeding the total of
the Panama .Canal--Wall Street
Journal.

The Cinematograph in the East

The japanese take the moving pic
ture with the seriousness BETTING
the national character. They enjoy
it thoroughly, but they like it best
when it makes them sad. The favor
tie theme is the allegorical play that
represents the warrior fighting for
righteousness. Next in popularity
comes the pathetic picture, The
strictly educational picture is also
popular, and there Is always applause
for good scenery. But the love-story
is never represented in the Japanese
moving picture. 1t would be an out
rage to modesty and a violation Of
decency, and therefore intolerable.
Pictures deroga tory to the dignity Of
officials and of policemen are for
hidden, as we'll as those likely to
instill revolutionary ideas in the
minds of the young.
China also is a great lover of the
cinematograph, and willingly accepts
a wide range Of SUBJECTS, drawing
the line at nothing except indecency.
The favorlte pictures in Turkey are
those of American cowboys and In
dams and the detective dramas.

NEW YORK TOLOSE
HISTORIC HOUSE
Building Once Residence oil
President John Adams to
Be Torn Down.

New York is to lose one of its most
interesting historical landmarks. A
house soon to be torn down was once
the white House" of the United
States. For two months, in 1897, it
was the executive mansion, the home
of John Adams, second President of
the United States.
The house is the old Vincent-H Hal
sey mansion, in the former village of
East Chester now the northeasterly
corner of New York city.
The Vincent Halsey house came to
be the home of the President of the
United States in the months of Octo-
Der and November, 1897, because al
