Fort San Lorenzo, for many year* Dne of the important units in the de fenses of the isthmus of Panama dur ing the days of the Spanish occupation of most of the western hemisphere, is again to serve in the capacity of de fending one of the most important trade routes of the world, the Panama canal. This time the ancient fortress will be manned by soldiers of the United States, who will serve modern, large caliber guns with ranges of more than 12 miles. The new fortifications which, in a measure probably are to replace the ancient ones, will form one of the main defense links of the great Gatun locks, at the northern end of the canal. Old Fort San Lorenzo, or, rather, the ruins thereof, stands on a high bluff at the mouth of the Rio Chagres and overlooks the town of the same name and the shallow harbor which on numerous occasions sheltered the Bhlps of Christopher Columbus and the Spanish conqulstadores who came after him and developed the isthmua of Panama into one of the greatest trade routes in the world of that time. Across It was transported thnt vast amount of | treasure that flowed from the Americas Into the treasury of the Spanish kings at Madrid. The Rio Chagres was one of the routes across the isthmus, and for that reason was defended at its mouth by the important and heavily garrisoned fortress, San Lorenzo.— Washington Star. SEA BATHING HITS HEARING Deafneaa Often Caused by Blowing Now Too 8oon After Taking a Dip in the Ocean. Says a prominent physician about “bathers’ deafness,” a common summer ailment: “This is a saltwater, not a fresh water, complaint, and many people who have been disporting themselves by the seaside return home much harder of hearing than when they left it. Cases are on record in which people have be come actually deaf after bathing in the briny ocean.” Bathers’ deafness is caused by blow ing the nose after your dip. People blow their noses instinctively after bathing, because the salt water in their nostrils makes them uncomfortable. The result is that water is forced into the little eustachlan tubes, which run from the ears to the nose. Here the water remains for days till inflammation U set up by the particles of salt. Then the eustnchian tubes get blocked, remaining more or less so permanently, causing partial deafness. So, if you must blow your nose, wait till some time after your bath Is over, and then do It very gently. But It Is better not to blow your nose at all un til at least an hour has elapsed. Canadians Refuse to Surrender. A Germnn paper describing the fighting nt Ypres on June 2 snys that the Canadians were completely ex hausted and In part “fled Irregularly” and In part offered a stubborn re sistance, desiring death before sur render. Many a nest which contained Canadians who defended themselves desperntely, refusing quarter, had to be emptied by hand genades. The paper adds that a general who was captured drew his sword and struck a sergeant, who summoned him to surrender, In the face, whereupon the infantryman nttacked the gen eral, who was fighting like a madman, nnd ran him through. It Is said that the general had been visiting the trenches when he was caught by Ger man curtain fire nnd was unable to return. Numerous other officers, says this report, were killed because they refused to surrender.—London Times. It’B the old fashioned housekeepers turn to laugh when she surveys a row of nut brown loaves set to cool at the end of baking day. Some spellbinders are appealing to the voters to be wary and others to the janitors to see that the heating apparatus is In order. Some near pumpkin pie is so good that one seldom notices the deception until the last crumb has been swal lowed. Even with Combles crumbled it's a long, long way to a Christmas dinner In Berlin for Haig and Joflfre. Indian summer can make a hit this year by being the same old chestnut.
