Panama's "Flat Arch"

One Of the most famous fiat arches'
IN the world is to be found in the ruin.
of the church of Santa Domingo, Pan
anna City, and has stood for nearly
three centuries. The arch, says q
writer in the Wide World magazine,
mas an unsupported span Of 36 feet 5
inches. and stands 20 feet from the
ground. Tradition has it that the Do
minican monks planned and built their
own church. This arch was near the
front of the entrance and supported
the organ loft, and it fell down three
times as soon as the supports were
taken away. Then a monk, who was
neither an architect nor an engineer,
dreamed" an arch, and drew up a
plan according to his vision. When
the arch was for the fourth time com
pleted the designer stood beneath il
while the supports were removed, stalk
ing his life on his inspired work. It
stood and still stands. The church
was destroyed by fire in 1887, and now
nothing remains but this marvellous
arch. The ruin is now the property
of private owners, and unless the ia
nous arch is speedily bought by the
government Of Panama it will be torn
down and a modern apartment house
will be erected on the site.

whoopIna couah caused By eerm.

That whooping cough is caused by
the bacillus pertussis, discovered by
Drs. Bordet and Gengou. has now at
last been proved beyond a doubt.
Masses Of minute bacilli infest the
epithelial cells lining the windpipe.
and tubes that lead to the lungs.
Their action is chiefly mechanical;
they interfere with the normal move
ments Of the ella by sticking them to-
gether: in this way the germs furnish
continual irritation. which results
in the symptoms peculiar to the dis
ease" Drs. Mallory and Horner now
announce the results of experiments
upon puppies. They infected these
animals by injecting the sputum Of
whooping cough patients into their
noses and throats. Six weeks later
the lesion characteristic Of the disease
was found in their windpipes. Normal
puppies that associated with them
caught the disease.

Trade Bill May Be
Voted on This Week

Washington, ID. c., July 6.-When
the Senate resumed consideration oi
antitrust Legislation to-day, Demo
Gratis leaders prepared to make de-
termined effort to maintain a quorum
to do business. The trade commission
bill is the unfinished business before
the Senate.
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced by Senator Lewis, the Dem
ocratic whip, in keeping a quorum
in the Senate chamber. This, too
despite the fact that the action of the
Democratic conference last week
bound the majority Senators to stay
in Washington until the Administra-
tion antitrust program is disposed of
Repeated roll calls have been neces-
sary to secure quorum. Warm
weather and approaching primaries
are believed to be responsible for the
small attendance.
In order to expedite action on
trust and other pending legislation,
Majority Leader Kern is expected to
ask that night sessions be held dur
ing the week. Belief is entertained
that this would result reaching a vote
on the interstate trade bill before the
close of the week.
