POPULAR SPORT IN PANAMA
Jaguar Is Considered Height
Of Entertainment.

The Panamaniac who is a real sport
delights in nothing so much as fight
between jaguar and bull. one must
visit the isthmus to see this particular
kind of sport.
An enormous cage, strongly built Of
scantlings and iron bars, is placed in
the center of the ring ordinarily used
for bull fights. A bull Is placed in
side of IL and presently one of the
huge South American cats is wheeled
up in a smaller cage and introduced
into the barred Enclosure. The latter
Is about ten feet high, with twice that
length and breadth.
In the fight which then ensues the
bull 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 its activity, does
not have fair chance.
Nevertheless, the duel greatly de-
lights the spectators. The fair Pana-
manicures shrek with excitement, and
the little Panamanikins rend the air
with yells.

remarkable is this painted tear drop
that people stand fascinated before
the picture, some of them declaring
1t is a real tear. The face shows
the Man in deep thought. The pic
ture is in the gallery at Milan and
Is by far the most striking of the
entire collection.
Andrea SolariO, who is responsible
for the work, was a painter of Milan,
born in AGO. He studied in Venice
for a time and on his return to Milan
fell under the influence of Leonardo
da Vinci and was sent by the latter
to complete some of the formers work
for Cardinal d'Amboise. His work
was so like that of da Vinci, both in
drawing and cOloring, that it is some
times difficult to tell it apart. Ecce
Homo, his masterpiece, was painted
in 1915, shortly before his death.

Revolving Door Etiquette.

The etiquette of the revolving door
has yet to be standardized. At pres
ent there are two schools of opinion
on the subject. One holds that when
a man and a woman approach a re-
vOlving door it is the mans place to
go first, pushing the door slowly so
as to allow his partner to follow In
the next compartment without any eff
fort on her part. The other contends
that ladies first still holds sway. 1t Is
good manners, these theorists say, for
the man TO step aside, let the woman
start the door revolving, and then
jump into the compartment behind
her. In this way, 1t is cOntended, the
man may assume control of the door
and guide it until the woman ahead
Of him is safely out. The bitterest
rivalry prevails between the two
schOols.-Argonaut.

Fish Thrive Under Water.

Water never gets colder than about
80 degrees. SO no matter how thick
the day. and no matter how thick the
ice upon the stream or lake. the fishes
are enjoying a temperature of about
80 degrees, and they move about in
the water and gather supplies very
well at that temperature. Through
the clear ice one may see fish with
their backs against 1t. where the tenn
perature must be 30 degrees, and If
you strike the Ice above them light
ly they dart away with pretty good
speed. If you will strike the ice I'M
meniately above them with the back
of an ak, or a sledge hammer. you
will kill the fish. The conclusion
does the business and the fish will
turn up its white belly upward. al
ways. 1t is a common enough thing
in some regions for the boys to kill
the fish through the ice, and then
to cut hole and get them out.

His early life was struggle and it

Ecce Homo (Behold the Mani by
Andrea Solario, presents an entirely
different conception of Christ. A
bleeding head crowned with thorns is
against a black background. The red
robe has fallen from one shoulder

The face is almost stern with its
tightly drawn mouth. The eyes are
lowered and there is tear drop

haps Little Startling.

A geOlogist describes by means Of a
graphic chart the comparative lengths
of the different periods of the age Of
the earth. He places the age of the
earth arbitrarily at 72,0OO,OOO years,
represented by clock dial of "a hours
100000 years to each hour.
On the above basis the first six
hours of the clock represent Azoic
time, the earliest conjectural period
of the earth's fOrmation-1S,OOOOO

the next eight PaleoZOic time-1S,00

twentieth TO the twenty-third hour.
Thus the last hour of the 24-3,0OO,OOO
years Of geologic time-represents
NeOzoic time, which includes the ap-
psarance of human life In the Quater-
nary period.
This last division of the "a hours,

The tunnels Part in PROGRESS

In the history of civilization the
tunnel has played mighty part. In
Europe the st. Gothard tunnel through
the Alps is famous; 1t connects Cos
chenen with Airoto, In Switzerland
and is over nine miles long. The
Simplon, which also penetrates the
Alps, is reckOned one Of the seven
modern wonders of the world; it is
1219 miles in length. Still another
Alpine bore is the Wasserfluh, TWO
miles in extent from entrance to en-
trance. Another notable tunnel is the
KhOjak pass, in India.
Among the important American tun-
nels is that which penetrates the Cas-
cade mountains, In Washington; the
Cumberland, under the Cumberland
mountains in Tennessee; the Hoosac,
In Massachusetts, and the tunnel I'M

FRA ANGELICA DA FIESoLE.
Still another Christ on the Cross
stands out in the art world-that
canvas by Fra Angelica da FlesoIe,
a circular picture, which hangs in
the Academy at Florence.
His Christ on the Cross is cOnsid-
cred by art cOnnoisseurs as one of his
best. 1t contains three figures, the
Christ on the Cross. the Virgin and
the Magdalen. Christ, wearing the
crown of thorns, hangs on the cross,
His head surrounded by a curious
fan-shaped golden halo with three
red stripes. The face shows sadness
and is well drawn. The picture is
rich in color, the background being
blue sky of the most vivid shade.
The blood on the hands, side and feet
which trickles down in three straight
streams is a brilliant red, forming
a strong contrast to the sky.

The art of carrying messages has
been handed down from grandfathers
and grandmOthers to fathers and
mothers and 50 on.
One of our relations carried forty
thousand messages in one trip. And
each message was about twenty words
in length.
Some of these messages were sent
by means of tiny photographs, so tiny
that they had TO be read with the aid
OF Il miscroscOpe or glass TO make them
look full-sized and SO they could be
seen easily.
And our relative carried these little

wonderful.
In that way we can carry more, too,

Old BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER
Denp-Rooted Ideas That Have Been
Current From the Earliest DAYS
of the Celebration.

There is an old weather supersri.
ton to the effect that if the sun shines
On Easter it will shine on Whitsun-

If you battle with cold water ON
Easter day, you will keep well all the

There is another old superstition
about eggs, and that is to rub over
the face an egg that has been colored
for Easter TO have nice complexion.
To cry on Easter is a sign YOU
will cry the following Sunday, too.
1t is bad luck to keep Easter eggs
They should be destroyed.
If rabbit runs across your natb

sign.

that one should not get engaged on
