To Colonel Goethals and Brigadier

of major general comes by undisputed
right OF pre-eminent merit Their
names must be linked for all time
with the building of the Panama

personally to the Nations honor and
success in that epoch-making achieve
ment has fixed their place irreyocably
among the greatest Americans OF
their time. In its gratitude the coun'
try has but inadequate means OF re-
paying them through the government
for their services. To raise them to
the highest rank open to them in the
army is the only recognition within
its power.

The whole undertaking in which
these two soldiers, one an engineer

of the finest chapters in the history
of the United States.

The floating islands. which at times
number no fewer than sixty, are found
TO be continually changing their posi-
lions. moving first one way and then
the other. In the first series OF obser-
yatIons wooden aoats We're placed In
the lake, showing the distribution or
the various currents. Subsequently a
model OF the lake wns constructed, and
1t was found possible closely to repro
duce the various movements OF the
surface. When both water and wind
currents were taken into account the
actual behavior Of the islands was
found TO be quite In accordance with
theory and experiment
The islands originate from masses OF
vegetable debris. which are first car
ried TO the surface by bubbles OF gas;
then reeds commence to grow from
seed on them. Sometimes the mass
becomes topheavy and overturns. and
reeds grow on the other side. until the
island has grown sufficiently large In
extent to secure stability.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
BY CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.
In Mentone.

New York, March 15.-For those
who love the sun in winter, who love
the Rieyiera In the less garlsh colors
that Mentone provides, there must be
a real feeling of grief to learn that
the little border town is empty OF its
old colony-that the great hotels that
look down upon the snuggest and the
warmest corner of the whole Cote
d'Azur are empty OF guests, their
genial Teutonic proprietors are In
prison, and in place Of all that made
life quietly pleasant there are only
the sad evidences of war, the wound
ed and the waiting.
Gone is the Hungarian news vendor
with his wonderful sheaf Of Magyar
papers. Gone are Russian, Polish,
Prussian, Belgian, British, Servian,
Turkish colonlsts. The little donkeys
that bore happy children along the
beach are perhaps hauling ammuni
ton in the far of Argonne. The
chausseurs Alpins, once met all on
the mountains, stepping Off proudly
to the bugles, are now on the battle
front, the vanguard of the army Of re
demption in far Alsace.
Vanished are the races that lived
in polyglot peace and took theiI
losses philosophically in the nearby
casino at Monte Carlo. There is nov
the grief OF war. Gouty Prussian gen
erals no longer stalk majestically
through heliotrope hedged walls; they
are now in Champagne or Flanders
enemies in fact. From Mont Ange
the bugles still call across at dawr
and sunset to the distant call OF Sira
coca, but the garrisons are gone. II
