krmy Officer Describes Animals,
Birds, Reptiles of Panama
Canal Jungle.

The blank spaces on the worlds
man have been dwindling so rapidly
that it Is a bit surprising to read of
a great wilderness-unmapped, I'M
inhabited and practically unknown
alongside one of the great American
thoroughfares. In his account in Nat
ural History, Lieut.-Col. Townsend
Whelen states that passage cut from
the Panama canal some five miles
through a tangled second growth of
small trees and other vegetation leads
to a gigantic wall of verdure, and this
Is the beginning Of the primeval, jun
gle comprising most of the eastern
portion of the Republic Of Panama,
and extending about 300 miles in
length by 80 to 100 miles in width.
In this strange new world one can
wander unimpeded by thorns and
creepers, in a climate oddly cool and
balmy. The vegetation is most impress
sive, even terrifying-giant moras,
borigen, cavanillesia, ceibas, rubber
and fig rising limbless 100 to 200 feet,
with tops spreading to shut out the
sky, and lower growth of many
kinds of slender tree ferns and palms,
developed in semi-darkness, that
shorten ones view without hindering
progress. Hardly anywhere can one
see more than so yards. The jungle
is alive with a wonderful bird life,
which is distributed in zones of alti-
tude on the mountain slopes and To-
cally from the ground to the tree tops
quail, tinamou and pheasants being
common near the earth's surface,
wrens, humming birds, thrushes and
other species, in the low-bush level;
doves, guans, owls and trogons, half
way up, and parrots, parrakeets, ma.
caws, toucans and cotingas, under the
leafy roof. Tapir, deer, peccaries and
other mammals, are abundant, though
shy. The many serpents do little harm,
the chief dangers being malaria, get
ting lost and falling branches and
fruits.

Paints Retard Fire, but
Give Little Protection

From tests made at the bureau of
standards it appears that while prac-
tically all paint coatings have some
fire-retarding action, none of those
so far tested affords great protection.
All the samples in question were ma
terially damaged by application Of
flame for few seconds. Both sodium
salicylate and whitewash rank COM
paratively high. These have the ad-
vantage of cheapness and can both be
used on the same surface. However,
according to a recent bulletin of the
bureau. no treatment of wood after
erection can be expected to serve as
an effective fire protection, and the
use of such materials should not be
made an excuse for emitting any of
the usual precautions against fire.

Sky Went Along.

A woman was leaving home where
she had been very happy, and, as she
boarded the train which was to take
her away, the tears came fast. Her
little son, anxious to comfort her, tried
the effect of cheering discovery he
had just made. "Why, mother" he
exclaimed, "the sky is going right
along with u.s." Other faint-hearted
people need to make the same dis
covery. No matter what we leave be
hind, the best goes with us.

For help with each example.

Has Two Meanings.

Troops is used in the plural to mean
the same as soldiers, and not includ-
ing in its meaning the number or
whether infantry, cavalry or artillery.
The word as generally used in the pa
pers has this meaning. Therefore
1000 troops means 1000 soldiers. In
the strict cavalry use of the word,
however, troop is the unit of forma-
ton, consisting usually of 60 troopers,
commanded by a captain and cores
ponding to a company of infantry.

Arts Inspiration.

A famous artist, who had art classes
had forbidden smoking in his studio
One day, after being out for half an
hour, he re-entered the studio sudden
ly and saw one student with a lighted
cigarette in his fingers, which he tried
to conceal. With an air of assumed
playfulness the artist approached the
offender and said "a strange crayon
you have there, my friend. May l ask
what you propose to draw with thatg
"Clouds!" replied the student.

Death.

Death is nothing more or less than
slipping back into your own subcon-
seriousness, and so becoming greater
and finer and more active-more use
full, too-and with grander powers than
we ever had in our limited imperfect
bodies. Life is nothing but an cpl
sode in our universal life. : ,
Death is just a change of direction

Promise of Air" by Algernon Black.

Tides of the Ocean.

The incoming and the outgoing OF
the tides is caused by the gravitation-
al influence of the moon. The moon,
so to speak, draws or lifts the water
from the depths on the same principle
that a pump lifts water. And as with
a pump, the water rushes in to fill the
space left; SO the shallow water near
shore rushes out to fill the extra space
caused by rising Of the water, on the
principle that water seeks its own
level.

The final goal of all the ambitions
which flying men have ventured to
dream since the Wright brothers first
rose from the earth in a heavier than
air machine was realized Sunday
morning when the young British
officers, Capt. John Alcock and Lieut.
Arthur Brown, landed on the Irish
coast after the FIRST nonstop flight
across the Atlantic. Their voyage
was without accident and without
incident, so far as can be learned. 1t
was a straight away clean cut flight
achieved in Is hours and u minutes,
from Newfoundland to Clifden, Ire
land, more than 1900 miles.

THE AEROPLANE.

From the days of DARIUS Greer
and his Flying Machine to the pre-
sent. what a wonderful development
In the art Of flying there has been.
When we see the aeroplanes rising a.
bove us, wheeling circling, ~bcying
every movement Of the rudder, we
| certainly realize that man Is learning
to dominate the powers of the air.
Development and improvement both
In the machine itself and the mastery
OF 1t Is In great measure due TO the
war. Up to that tint the use Of the
aeroplane had largely been for expert
ment and for exhibition. Its possible
fields Of transportation and Of practi-
cal use were already efficiently occu-
pied by other agencies.
With the war came the need, and
m~echanicans and ~aviators responded
to It. More improvement was probab
ly made during the four years Of war
than twenty years Of peace would
brought about.
Now that the war Is over the devel-
opment and skill gained will probably
turn the air..raft to p'actjcal every
dao uses.
The aeroplane is already used for
carrying mail, and its field will no
doubt be gradually Increased to trans
p~ortation OF all kinds. Despite its
present high cost Of construction it
requires neither franchise, rail nor
trolley, and Sc it a compete favor
ably with other transportation agen-
cies.
1t Is difficult to predict how gener-
al it's use may become. 1t may some
day become a customary thing for
mankind to "fy upon the wings of
Of the wind"
