POPULAR SPORT IN PANAMA
Duel to the Death Between Bull and
Jaguar Is Considered Height
Of Entertainment.

The Panamaniac who is a real sport
delights In nothing so much as a fight
between jaguar and bull. One must
visit the isthmus to see this particular
kind of sport.
An enormous cage, strongly built of
Bcahtlings and iron bars, is placed in
the center of the ring ordinarily used
Tor bull fights. A bull Is placed in
side of it and presently one Of the
hAge South American cats is wheeled
M In q smaller cage and introduced
Into the barred Enclosure The latter
ls about ten feet high, with twice that
length and breadth.
In the fight which then ensues the
Dull is victorious usually. Not more
than once In ten such contests does
the jaguar prove the victor. This
would not be the case If the animals
Were not restricted to so narrow a
space; but the big cat, being obliged
TO rely mainly upon it's activity, does
not have fair chance.
Nevertheless, the duel greatly de-
lights the spectators. The fair Pana-
nanicures shrek with excitement, and
he little Panamanikins rend the air
With yells.

NEW DEVICE MEASURES POWER

'Telegraphone" Aims To Prevent Unhappy Mar riages And To Detect Mere Common Criminals.

New York, Dec 30.-One of the inumerable use to which the ,"tele- graphone.'' an invention announced by the Society for Electrical Develop ment, may be placed is that of pre- venting unhappy marriages.
 The inventor himself, name not dis closed, believes that if it can be ad- juste6 over the heart of the girl, her doubt-torn swain will be able to tell whether she is telling the truth or not. He has not invented a way of making the girl put this lie detector on.
 The "telegraphone" records the breathing and heart beats. It magni- ies irregularities caused by emotions and is regarded by criminolog-sts as a sure method of catching lying wit nesses. The lover suggestion is put forward by the inventor merely as an example of what science could do if permitted.
 "When John grows doubtful of the reality of loans love for him. he says in his dry, academic way, fhe can satisfy himself by having her heart hutters measured
 If the girl puts up a truggle at a suggestion that she wear his harness during an evening of courtship John may be sure that he is going to get several hours of lies. In that case there is nothing to do but doubt ev- eryth.ng she says. Thus will unhap- py maria ges be prevented.

NEW YORK IS

New York, Dec. 30-It remained for WeSterner to point out to New Workers that their city would be prac- tical1y treeless within a generation if save those that remain. Martin L. Davey, former Congressman from Ohio, and one of the leading tree authorities of the country, yesterday gave the results of his investigation of the parks, playgrounds and breath ing spaces of which New Workers are so proud.
 He found that the greater number to 100 years old, are dying and can not live but @ few vars longer. Last year more than 2500 trees died and were removed, and only about 140o not take the place of the old for several decades, owing to the fact that they are smaller and younger, while the others were great shade trees in their fullest growth; MT. were literally starving to death. ow- ing to lack of nutrition.

PIONEER AMONG
 APARTMENTS IS,
 BEING WRECKED

New York, Dec. 30 Wreckers have started to tear down New York's pioneer apartment house to make way for the city's newest and greatest hotel. The Van Corlear apartment, built in 1878, and the wonder of it's time, is coming down as fast as crow1bar and dynamite can rage it. Located on Seventh avenue between F'ifty-ffth and Fifty-sixth streets it has long been landmark of the SO called Great White Way and for the last decade housed professional and literary celebrities. During it's early days, the Van Corlear was the more or less permanent home of a number of New York's best known families. It had the reputation in those days of being as high priced as the apart ment palaces on Park avenue, where an annual rental of more than $24,- was famous also for the fact that it had the first sunken bathtub. after the fashion made famous by the movies" This tub, porcelain and hand-painted with sprays of rose buds, was brought direct from Paris. aM it's memories of fashion, will rise the new Hotel Commonwealth, the greatest in the world with 2,500 rooms and owned by close to 75,0O0 The Commonwealth will occupy the entire block between the streets named and Broadway and Seventh avenue, and when finished will be the first successful cooperative en- terprise in this country. Those be- up to 20 per cent. on every dollar they spend in the hotel and in addi- tio will receive substantial divi- dends. William J. Hoggson, one of try, conceived the project and is car rying it on to success.
