The Start of the Plan

Ons may pass over the early part
Of the book, assuming the conditions
that make a revolution in Panama
advisable NJ. Bunau-Varilla arrived
in New York September p, 1908,
and made his headquarters in
Room 1852 at the Waldorf Astoria.
For two years or more he had
had IN his mind the idea Of a revolu-
ton In Panama. September 2 he had
put the idea in print In an article
In lie Matin," Of Paris, Of which he
bad become principal owner.
On his arrival in New York he
went at once to see Mr.. Lindo, an
old banker and commission mer-
chant Of Panama, head Of the firm
cf Piza Nephews & Co.
"Well, Mr.. Lindo," said NJ. Bunau-
Varilla, sis the runor true that the
people Of Panama are going to make

Mr. Lindo explained that the
people Of Panama did not have the
money to support revolution
ut can't be helped" he said.
Without money a revolution can
not be brought about any more than
war. But IL you care to know
what the situation really is will

NJ. Bunau-Varilla had never met
President Roosevelt. He went tc
Washington October and called on
Frank B. Loomis, First Assistant
Secretary Of State, whom he had
known in Paris, and spoke to Mr.
Loomis about his new ownership in
"Le Matin." Mr.. Loomis at once
saw that M. Bunau-Varilla should
meet the President. The appoint
ment was made for the same day at
noon, and M. Bunau-Varilla says of
his meeting with President Roose-
velt:

teristic openheartedness which won

tunity. The bridge was found;

A Premature Celebration

And the battleship arrived. The
Nashville anchored in Colon harbor
the evening Of November 2. And
the revolutionists promptly got
drunk and forgot to post guards to
prevent the landing of the Colon
tian troops. They forgot the vital
move which would make necessary
the landing Of American forces to
prevent a battle. Thus, while Pan
anna lejoiced, General Tovar sailed
into Colon and landed his men with
out opposition.
Tovar then made false move on
his part. He left his troops in Colon
and went to Panama himself.
DR.. Amador took advantage OF the
tactical blunder. He caused the ar
rest Of Tovar in Panama, and the
republic was proclaimed while the
watchful American warships pre-
vented any attempt at interference
with the now regime which would
moan fighting on the line Of transit
across the Isthfhns.

MISS MARY A. BOOTH

SCOPE

Generations of New England domes-
ITCHY are not easily eradicated, even
when Joined with scientific abilities
Of the highest order. The Booths
have been in America at least since
Revolutionary days, and among the
relics descending from early men,
bers are many testifying to the
sturdy fighting qualities of the men
and the housewifely prowess Of the
women.
Only in Miss Booths case mar
r1age was not to be, for reasons al
ready indicated, and with character.
istic courage and ability she decided
to become a scientist, succeeding so
we'll that on both sides of the At
lantic men Of the highest standing
in her field consider her one Of the
foremost authorities in her calling.
Pictures of Coolies
Miss Booth is what is called
photomicrographer and microscopist.
That is to say, she uses the micro
scope not only to detect and study
tiny forms of life, but to photograph
them as well. Among her great col
lection Of exhibits are specimens
ranging from the f1eas which helped
spread the bubonic plague years ago
in San Francisco to segments of the
gizzard Of cricket. OF course she
also has examined and photographed
larger objects, and among her inter
esting prizes are "close ups" of the
never to be forgotten "cooties" of
trench days, the tongues of butter
flies and similar subjects.
Her researches and Investigations
have not, as in the case of many
scientists, disturbed her faith in
God, and she is a firm believer in a
directing power in the universe.
every new discovery in science
has been to me a new revelation of
God" she said ~ have been all my
life a member of one of the largest
churches, but churches do not con-
tain all the wisdom there is. Seeing
these wondrous forms Of life in all
their perfection has strengthened my
faith. l have found a great deal of
happiness observing them under the
microscope. If life as we see it
about US is wonderful, then even
more wonderful, perhaps, is life as
it is to be seen under the magnify
ing glass"
The scientist rose to bring a photo
graph she was preparing for the
Royal Photographic Society of Lon
don, and the stronger light coming
through the window where the pho
tograph lay brought out her features
strongly. Her hair has become snow
white in the years she has been de-
voting to the investigation Of insect
and parasitic life, but her dark eyes
are as bright and alert as ever.
Something that was said about
church work brought out an unex-
pected but revealing outburst from
the woman scientist. 1t seems that a
great patriotic organization of wom-
en- of which Miss Booth is men,
ber recently arranged a church sale,
toward which each woman was to
contribute something that was pre-
pared by herself

at San Francisco. But though she
found happiness, there were times,
even after the microscope had un-
locked the door of her prison house"
when she knew loneliness.
Other Women Don't Sympathize
There Wa. a certain amount of
isolation at first," she said. "If you
do work different from that Of other
women you lose contact They don
understand what you are doing
and can't sympathize. The common
ground of visiting and friendly small
talk does not exist At least, it was
so for a time in my case. In the
early days some of the women OF
my acquaintance thought looking
through a microscope at bugs and
things was not woman's prope,
work. They felt / was wasting my
time.

Not the Family Album

What was that? The tip Of the
wing of yellow fever mosquito.
And that odd looking, feathery
object which seemed as if it might
have dropped from the trimming
of some woman's hat? Oh, the
tongue of a humble bee. And here
was picture of the flea that helped
spread the plague in San Francisco.
This was more than twenty years
ago, and the photograph was taken
by Miss Booth when she was as
sisting Surgeon General Blue in
checking the disease.
ut was necessary to do what was
possible to arouse the public in fight
ing the plague Miss Booth ex-
planned "The rats bearing the
germ-laden fieas had to be stamped
out, and lantern slides were pre-
pared for popular exhibition. l sue
ceeded in making some photographs
of these feas, and these were shown
n the campaign to stamp out the
apidemic."
This modest recital Of Miss Booths
part in the fight fails to do her
justice, for from records surviving
from the time of the plague it seems
she rendered exceedingly valuable
services, for which she received the
thanks of her superiors.
Most women have a passion for
service, and Miss Booths most
pleasant recollections are those re-
lated to some such work as she did
New-York tribune., 1920-06-06
An Ideal Homo

But it was an ideal neighborhood,
everything considered, for the Wom-
On Of the Microscope to have chosen
IN which to pass the remaining
years Of her life.
Not many Of US go looking for
happiness with a microscope, al
though some people would think this
method peculiarly appropriate, con-

Knew What Loomis Meant

The next day Loomis said to him:
II have thought over what you
said to me yesterday. This situation
is really fraught with peril for the
town of Colon. 1t would be deplora-
hle if the catastrophe of 1886 we're
to be renewed to-day"
Bunau-Varilla interpreted this as
meaning: "a cruiser has been sent
TO Colon" He took the first train
for Baltimore and on the train cal
oulated time and distances. The
cruiser Nashville was at Kingston,
$50 miles from Colon; allowing
twelve hours for preparations and
two days sailing time at ten or eleven
knots an hour, the Nashville would
be in Colon in two and ne-half
days. He cabled Amador:
"All right; will reach two days
and half"

wiled to that institution, and &C
cording to experts it is one of the
finest in the country.
Mary, the daughter, being an in
valid, was a source of great anxiety
to him. For long time she was
bedridden, and when she got SO she
could move about she generally had
to use a wheel chair.
In 1872 the father took his daugh-
ter with him on trip along the coast
of Long Island, and the lonely young
woman, more for diversion than any,
thing else, took up q study Of the
sea weeds found along the spots she
and her father visited. This was the
beginning Of her scientific career.
Her casual interest in the plants de-
veloped into a we'll defined plan to
make microscoplcal research her
work in life.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-06
An Ancient Motto

The fact that work of this kind
was rarely taken up by women and
that in the entire country there were
only two others of her sex who had
won any sort of recognition in it did
not discourage her. Doubtless she
had inherited some Of the scientific
zeal from her father, and as for the

opened and the young woman, long
held prisoner by failing health, had
escaped into a new world of many
strange wonders. Her health inn
proving, she began to extend her
activities, give lectures and write
articles for scientific periodicals
which devoted space to the subject
of micrography. AS the years went
on she spoke before audiences in
Manhattan, Brooklyn and other
cities in all parts of the United
States.
Miss Booth in recalling this
period of her activities brought out
what at first glance might have
been mistaken for the family album,
but which was filled with photo
graphic specimens of her work.

structions to prepare to start for
Panama October 20. Meanwhile
Bunau-Varilla went to Washington
to meet and sound out Secretary
Hay. He told Mr.. Hay there would
probably be a revolution in Panama.
eyes," said Mr.. Hay, "that is un-
fortunately the most probable hy-
pothesis. But we shall not be caught
mapping. Orders have been given to
naval forces on the Pacific to sail
toward the Isthmus."
On October 20 a cable came
from Amador saying that 200
Colombian troops would land on the
Atlantic side of, the Isthmus No
vember 3. The cable urged that an
American warship should be sent
at once to protect the revolutionists;
and Bunau-V -Varilla, with his init
mate knowledge of Central Ameri-
cans, saw at once that without the
warship there would be no revolu-
ton. He took the first train for
Washington and there told every one
he met that there was to be a revo-
luton in Panama November 3 and
the inevitable consequence would be
the destruction by fire of the wooden
city of Colon, backing up the asser-
ton by recalling that that identical
thing had happened in the abortive
revolt of 1885. He enlarged on what
a terrible thing it would be for
Colon to be burned a second time,
because of the failure of the United
States to be on hand with military
forces to prevent the armed conflict
that would otherwise inevitably fol-
low the revolution. He made a
particular point of seeing Frank
B. Loomis and enlarging on these
gloomy predictions.
