Whore Van Tromp Died.

Texel, the low lying island at the en-
trance to the Zuyder Zee. was the
scene Of much fierce fighting between
Dutch and English in the seventeenth
century. It was off Texel that one of
the greatest of Dutch admirals, Van
Tromp, lost his life in 1868 in an en-
gagement with the British under
Blake, and near the same spot, almost
exactly twenty years after, De Ruyter
was defeated in a desperate conflict
with the British and French under
Rupert and D'Estrees. On Oct. II,
1897, Texel again witnessed a heavy
defeat Of the Dutch, this time by Ad
miral Duncan.-London Mail.

Pacific exposition.
Spain, Cuba and all the Latin Amer

within sight of the heights from which
1t is said Balboa caught his first
glimpse of the Pacific. The canal, too,

hibition is open only during the dry
season. when the weather Is the
balmiest. 1t will continue for three
months.
Talk of an exposition was first heard
some years ago when it was proposed
as private enterprise, for speculative
purposes. Later it was decided that
the exposition should have it's present
character, and invitations to partici-
pate were sent to the nations directly
in connection with the events commem-
grated. The financial difficulties which
Panama is undergoing have done much
to delay matters, but the exposition Is
all ready now, and Panama has every
reason to be proud Of it.

Puzzle Of tho Eagle and tho Whale.

Puzzle Of the Eagle and the Whale.
There are two animals that puzzle
naturalists more than any others.
They are natures submarine and aero
plane, the whale and the eagle. 1t is
known that whales occasionally de-
scend as much as 5000 feet below the
surface of the sea. Why they are not
injured scientists have yet to discover.
1t is this pressure which prevents a
modern submarine descending even 300
feet, let alone 5000.
Eagles have been seen through tel
escopes to fly with apparent ease from
10000 to 10000 feet above sea level.
At that height no human being can
live owing to the rarefaction of the
air. How the birds live and fly at far
greater heights than man can endure
for long is a question still to be an.
