Panama.

William Paterson, the Scotsman who founded the Bank of Eng land, attempted to form a "Scotch Utopia along industrial lines" on the Atlaivic side of the Darien Isthmus not far from the entrance to the present Panama Canal. His intention was to "make his setdement the entrepot of the Pacifio, the pivotal point of the commercial world, where mer- ohandise might be interobanged. and cargoes transferred, and whence Europe and all the Atlan tie and Mediterranean sea porta might be supplied with the products of North and South America, of Japan, China and the South Sea Isles." In Pater- son's words the settlers of Darion were to acquire a nobler empire than Alexander or Cesar without

fatigue, expense or danger." Schemes similar to Paterson's were concocted in London and Paris, but they came to nought. The thought which suggests itself on perusing this review is-14 there any prospect of onoth r Panama rising on American ter- ritory on the banks of the inter- oceanic canal which is a'most com- pleted? The author thinks that the dream of the

early Spaniards and Scottish is nearer realisation to-day, and he expresses the hope that the Pan- ama of the Canal will be able to make as brilliant a showing three hundred years hence na the Pan- ama of three hundred years ago,” This is not too much to hope. The now Panama, or whatever name be given to the future city, shoulit become a large coaling depot and possibly an important trans-ship- ping centre, making it at least one of the " pivotal points" of the commercial world,

Wo therefore desire to associate our-" selves with the devout hope that nothing may coeur in future to great nations ruled by the Kaiser, mar the friendship of the three the King and the Czir. The wedding has another, perhaps deeper, interest for Germany, for throughout the country the utmost joy is manifested over the happy solution it brings to a difficult political problem.

the returns issued recently by the It is a significant fact that in Admiralty giving the results of tests of gun-layere in the Fleet for the past year there is no re- ference to the time element. Formerly the number of hits per minute by the twin-gun turrets of capital ships and by guns in the oase of smaller calibre weapons was an important, if not the determin- ing standard of efficiency. But now the factor indicative of excellence is the percentage of hits to rounds fired. Is this a consequence of the new system of gan control under which salvo firing is pre-. ferred to independent fire and con- tralgun laying to siming being the individual work of the captain of the turret or of the gun team? The difference is one of signific. sace whether regard be had to the much-debated question as to whether the fanétion is to disarm or to destroy the enemy, although it must be admitted that the latter is much more likely to ba achieved by a well-directed full, brandaide rather than by a rain of THE HOUSES shote independently fired.
