ELECTRIC LIGHT AND
POWER DEVELOP
MENT IN PANAMA
ASSOCIATED Press CORRESPONDENCE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Panama, Aug. 1.-Plans are being
considered by the government Of the
Republic Of Panama for the develop
ment Of a number OF water falls in
the interior for the manufacture of
electric light and power. It is proposed
to invite foreign capital to undertake
the lighting OF several Of the important
interioy towns in the vicinity of which
ample waterpower exists
At both Penonome and Chorrera
there are excellent falls which would
supply the entire districts in which
they are located with light and power
The water power at Chorrera is suffi-
GENTLY near both Panama and Colon SO
that electric current could be trans
mitted to them over q high-tension
system, considerably decreasing the
cost Of electric light in these cities.
In the vicinity Of Boquete, Province
OF Chiriqui, there are other falls which
once harnessed to produce hydro cleo
trio power would make that district
an important industrial center as well
as lighting a number of important
towns on the Pacific side.

MECHANICS USED
BY SOLDIERS FOR
DIFFERENT BOMBS
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.)

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Aug. 1.-THE various kinds Of
bombs now being used in France and
Flanders are described by an English
officer in letter from the front. There
are, he says, four main types: The
"Hair-Brush''; the "Cricketbau"; the
"Policeman's Club" and the "Jam-tin.
Bomb throwers are alluded to in trench
slang as Anarchists.
The Rair-Brush." explains the writer,
is very like the ordinary hair-brush, ex-
cept that the bristes are repla ced by a
solid block of high-explosive. The police
mans truncheon has gay streamers of
tape tied to its tail, to ensure that it
falls to the ground nose downward.
Both these bombs exploce on impact, and
ii is inadvisable to knock them against
anything-say the back of the trench
when throwing them.
The cricket-ball works by time-fuse.
The removal of a certain pin releases a
spring. which lights an internal fuse
timed to explode the bomb in five sec
onds. You take the bomp IN your right
hand, remove the pin. and cast the thing
madly from you. The jam-tin variety
appeals more particularly to the sports
man. as the element of chance enters
largely into its successful use. 1t is timed
to explode about ten seconds after the
lighting of the fuse. 1t is therefore I'M
wise to throw il too soon, as there would
be ample time for your opponent to pick
il UP and throw it back. On the other
hand. il is unwise to hold on too long. as
the fuse is uncertain in its action and is
given to short cuts.

tional Capital
The President was in his office in

tional Capital the week beginning
September p. The spokesman told
the President that his help was need
ed because il might be the last great
gathering of the veterans who saved
the nation in the days of 81.
President Wilson's answer was
brief, but it was decidedly to the
point. He told the committee he was
ready to give them his full co-opera-
ton. and agreed to review the vet
Grams.
Acting under orders from Secre-
tary of War Garrison and Major Cen
eral Wood, United States regulars
