Some people never talk about any
thing but the weather. Luckily this
is the climate for them.
Horrible Thought.
Senator Borah of Idaho tells this
story of how a psychologist and me
dlumlstlc professor was received in a
small town in his state:
The professor was talking to a
young society bud about the possibili
ties of the Journeylngs of one's soul.
"Why, my dear young lady," he de
clared, "it is possible for you in your
sleep to travel to other planets in the
middle of the night."
"Oh, professor!" she cried in evi
dent alarm. "Not in my nightgown!"

Boy's View of Policemen.
A boy's view of policemen is thus
quaintly expressed in the examination
papers of- the Albert Street school,
Bui well, Nottingham, England:
"One of our well-known men In the
large towns is the policeman; he is a
very large man. and looks very smart
in his suit of blue.
"If he sees a boy who ought to be
at school, he tries to catch him and
take him to school, where he is pun
ished.
"His duties are many. At night he
walks quietly down the streets In case
there are any robbers. . . . He
carries a lamp about jrith him to see
where the robber escapes. If the rob
ber hides, he will be traced. The po
liceman carried a staff, a whistle, and
some handcuffs in case he needs
them."
FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.
"Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got In such a bad condi
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be ap organ In his body that
wan not affected.
"I told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
"It was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It
and then It was easy to leave off
coffee.
"His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, bis complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
be was a new man altogether, as a re
sult of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then I began to drink it too.
"Although I was never as'bad off as
my husband, I was always very ner
vous and sever at any time very
strong, only weighing 96 lbs. before 1
began to nse Postum. Now I weigh
116 can do as much work as
anyone my site, I think."

*CO(XACI!
Colon, C. zL-If yon with to hear
"language," Just aay "Cucaracha" to
one of the engineers engaged In build
ing the centfcal division o( the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha in Spanish means a
cockroach/ In the Canal Zone It
means the greatest of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
of the Culebra cut so different and so
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach I could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not so large, and he moves
much more swiftly.
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble In 1906, the second
year of their work on the canal. Be
tween then and July 1, 1912, nearly
3,000,000 cubic yards of material was
removed from the canal because of
it. The slide had broken nearly 1,900
feet from the axis of the canal, and
covered an area of 47 acres. Last fall
the engineers were congratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but In January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut.
"What Is going to.be the cost of
that slide to the United States?" I
asked Colonel Ooethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were lah&rjpg to remove the vaat
mass of earth and rock.
"Well," the chief engineer replied,"our
estimate Is that by the time It is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about $5,000,000 more
than the cut would have cost if the
slide had not occurred. It is still mov
ing, and has broken so far back that
y *c m>-
Qlant Steam Shovsl
now we are shoveling the crest away
from the canal in order to relieve tha
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
In the cut at that point had been
carried to within 16 feet of the canal
bottom. Digging out that 16 feet of
material removed the support of the
Cucaiacha, and down It came. If we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the 16 feet with dredges, I
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide."
"What of the future 7" 1 asked, "la
there any danger of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
"Absolutely none, I believe," be an
swered. "When the excavating and
dynamiting have ceased and the war
ter Is in. It will be quite safe. We
have the slides and breaks mapped
out Sa far back as there is any indi
cation of their extending, and are
working back to those lihes. It la
merely a matter of persistency and pa
tience." '' V
"When will the water be let into
the cutT"
In October," replied Colonel Qoe
thala. "But there will be no celebra
tion over the event. That one in Jan
uary, 1915, la giving us enough worry,
and we don't forget the premature and
ridiculoua celebration by Ferdinand de
Leaaepa many yeara ago. We will Just
turn the water in—that'a all. Then we
can complete the excavation there
with auction dredges, which will do
the work cheaply and rapidly."
"And when will boats be passing
through the canal f
"That 1 cannot aay, but the sooner
the better, tor the operating crews
most be properly trained before that
January celebration. I wouldn't hare
an accident occur for anything. If we
cannot hare commercial Teasels going
through before 4hen, 1 shall ask the
government to send naval vessels
through, so the operating forces can
get the experience. Anyhow, I want
itffifcfri
to see the canal opened to commerce
as soon as possible, for it 1b revenue
I am after."
Another day I stood with Col. D. D.
Galllard, the engineer of the central
division, outside his office In Empire,
and watched his army laboring in the
cut, the completion of which has
been his biggest task and greatest
glory. Right at our feet a big area
had sunk down 70 feet In a night, and
if there had not been warnings of the
break a wing of the colonel's office
building would have gone down with
it "Wo had Just time to remove that
wing," said he, "and my office force is
rather nervous now, for there are
three big crocks under the main build
ing. I expect It, too, will have to be
torn down very soon.
"These slides used to make us rath
er despondent, for it seemed SB If they
never would stop, but the progress
we are making this year has cheered
up the operating forces again, and
we can see the end of the task. The
slide and the break are quite differ
ent In the former the earth slides
at an angle down a sloping face of
rock, and In the latter the masß sinks
straight down and at the bottom
bulges out Into the channel. Along
both sides of the cut you can see nu
merous small slides and breaks. Those
are in pockets In the rock wall, and,
annoying as they are, they only need
cleaning out. The Cucaracha started
as a slide and now it is both a slide
and a break.
"Incidentally, that cut should be a
great place for geologists. I have
found in it every kind of rock except
granite, and many interesting fossils
and petrification have been discover
ed there. In one stratum through
which we cut there were found a great
number of teeth of prehistoric varie
ties of sharks."
"What is your opinion concerning
the date when the canal will be ready
for commerce?" I asked.
"If I bad my say," said the colonel
emphatically, "not a commercial ves
sel would be allowed in the canal un
til it is absolutely complete down to
the smallest detail. In some of the
many aafety devices were not In op
eration and an accident should result,
the canal would get a black eye from
which It might not recover for a long
time. Officially, the time for the com
pletion of the canal ia still January
1, 1915. It may be done before that
date, but in March of this year there
was atill about $60,000,000 worth of
work ahead of us.
"We who have been digging the
canal and are atlll here in posltlono of
responaiblllty—l mean the members
of the Isthmian canal commission—
are rather fearful concerning that part
of the Adamson bill which permits
the president to dissolve the commis
sion whenever in bis judgment the
canal is near enough to completion.
We feel that it would be extremely
nnjust not to allow ua to remain 'on
the Job' until after the grand formal
opening in January, 1915. It would be
much like permitting a boy to com
plete his university course, and then
taking him home before he receives
his diploma"
And then Colonel Oalllard said some
things about Mr. Taft's efforts to put
into effect that clauae last January,
which must have made the ex-presi
dent's ears tingle a bit
"The Culebra cut is like a three-ring
circus. I don't know which way to
look," said one visitor to the sone.
It is indeed a scene of wonderful ac
tivity. Giant steam shovels are scat
tered through It, scooping up enor
mous masses of rock and earth; on
half a dozen tracks on as many dif
ferent levels snorting and pttfflng loco
motives are swiftly drawing loaded or
empt£ dirt trains; along the ledges
are batteries of steam and com
pressed air drills, making holes for
dynamite; suddenly there is a toot
tooting of a steam whistle, a hundred
men scurry to shelter, and a dynamite
blast fills the air with sound and dirt
and rocks.
Watching the steam shovels is a fa
vorite occupation of visitors who ven
ture down into the Culebra cut. They
seem almost human, and do a vast
amount of work. Their dippers hold
five cubic yards of material, weigh
ing on an average a little more than
three tons. This spoil Is emptied into
cars of several kinds. Flat cars with
one high side are unloaded by plows
that are drawn the length of the train
by cablea upon a winding drum. The
others are dump cars, the largest of
which are operated by compressed air
from the locomotive. The trains haul
the spoil from the cat to dumping
grounds, which on an average are
about IS miles distant. Some 18,000,-
000 cubic yards of this material was
used as filling tor the long breakwa
ter at the Pacific eatraass.

HAD SOME WAY TO TRAVEL
Thirsty Man Had Not Thought of Pos
sibilities When He Msde Con

After North Carolina voted to be a
dry state Its citizens became very sus
picious of strangers.
One day a commercial traveler went
up to an old negro In a little town In
the eastern part of the state and said
to him:
"Say, uncle, If you will lead me to
some place where I can get a drink
111 give you $2."
The old darky looked him carefully
over, accepted the two plunka, and
■aid: "All right, boss, Just foller me."
He led the thirsty one through the
town, on through the suburbs, into the
country, and then started due west.
After they had traversed about Ave
miles In silence and still nothing In
light, the man aeked:
"Look here, Mose! Where are we
going after this drink?"
"We's gwine over into Kentucky,
boss; we can't git nuthln' in dls state."

Summer Hats of Bhavtngs
Many of the handsomest summer
hats worn by women all over the
country are made of shavings. %
It seems that Japan is a thriving
center for this shaving industry and
wooden ribbon of this sort appears in
various forms, some presenting a sat
lny finish,and others resembling silks
and crepes.
About twenty per cent. Is sent here
In the shape of wooden ribbons, while
the rest Is worked up into the familiar
"chip braid."
Some years Japan sends 11,000,000
of this material Into this country. It
appears that the American women
like the product better than Euro
pean, for the United States is her
largest customer. The material Is
easily dyed and is so thin and flexible
that exquisite effects can be pro
duced.
