turned my back on its excavations two your | co. Had I the eye for cuts and dams (apart from when I am shaving on a realing ship) that am popularly supposed to have for beavis and birds, sind were I got all but a complete idiot in maiters of engineering, I should no doubt be able to appraise at something of its value the enormous progress that has been made since then. Seeing that the engineers have been able to report to Washington fresh records every month, seeing that lo April the lean-shovels took out more million cubic yards of dirt that during any previous 'mouth' in the remarkable history of America's greatest undertaking since she freed her slaves, the isthmian Canal must have made great strides since, two Junes ago, the chief engineer took me through the Culebra Cut on bis cir, -- Yet memory plays 'strange, tricks on the careless eye, and I could have sworn the other moming that the steam-shovels had: not ko out a single load since I last watched their elephantine excavations. Two changes, at any rato, apart from mere engineering efficiency, are apparent since the rainy season of 1905

THE LABOUR QUESTION,

To-day, as two years ago, America de panda almost wholly on our West Indian islands for

her labour supply on the canal. The Tagus, by which I travelled from Barbados to the Isthmus, took four or five hundead Barbadian blacks as "deckers," a muscular and garrulous lat, yet very Trappius for silencs beside the Jamaica ciggers imported for the same pur- pose.

The sule of Mr. Stevens is as widely regretted as his personality is missed. The chief ea gineers of the canal have all tired somewhat suddenly of their job. - First, Mr. Wallace and then Mr. Stevens resigned their honours(with an emolument of £5,000 a year, which, if not princely, was at any rate sufficient for enthu

EDITING A CLIMATE.

One man ploce among the chiefs of depart. "monts has survived all changes, and on this "survival | venture to congratulate the United States. Col. W, C. Gorgas, chief of the Sanit ary Control, is still buy on his great work of clearing up the Isthmus, exterminating its three kinds of mosquitoes, superintending the screan. ing al dwellings, aud, generally, making a outa insufferable climate, tolerable, ta” white, men, women, and even children. On the milroad the other day, between Colon and Panana, I met a dozen healthy little American girls who, each morning before the sun is too hot, leave their homes at Empire; Minaflores, and else. where along a line that has a station at every Tew handied yards, and go to a day school at Cristobal, returning by a later train in the cool of the evening; and you would not ses bitter. conditioned tiule schoolgirls in Washington itacil

When it is claimed that the climate of the Isthmus has by such serviços been made loler- able to Americans there is no need to dragger- ate a reality sufficiently wonderful in itself and to ran away with the idea that Panama is like Cairo, which must lįs avapproximately the same latitude.
