Tho Aucon left Its berth at Cristobal
at seven o'clock In tho morning and

locks, -which have a lift or 85 feet, In
70 minutes. It continued through tho
watorway, from deep water on tho At
lantic to deep water on tho Pacific
side, without Incident.
Leaving Cristobal) the Ancon passed
several vessels at anchor In the har
bor, waiting to follow It through tho
canal and thus make the first com
mercial use of the water,
i Tho docks of the Ancon woro crowd
red with guests of the government and
officials of tho canal administration
and the republic of Panama. The
party Included Colonel Goethals, U. S.
A., bulUler of tho canal and governor
of tho zone; President Porras of Pan
ama, and Capt. Hugh Rodman, U, S.
J?., superintendent of transportation.
,In conformity with a promise made
'by Colonel Goethals, tho peace flag of
'the American Peace society fluttered
Strom tho foremast of tho Ancon.
Beneath Its decks, howover, wcro
two huge ploces of artillery which are
destined to form an important part
in tbo defenses of tho watorway.
Tho gronr watorway now becomes
froo and open to tho vessels of com
merce and of war of all nations on
terms of entire equality," In accord
ance to tho provisions of the Hay
Pauneofote treaty.
Vessels drawing uot raoro than thir
ty feet of water ar.tl up to 10,000 tons
register may now inako tho passage.
It would be possible to put some of
the big Amerk-tm dreadnaughts
through at any time.
The passage of the Ancon and Its
company of eliips opens tho canal to
shipping, although the formal opening
of tho waterway will not take place
until next spring. Tickets havo been
old at the Isthmus to all vessels wait
ing to make the trip. Tho charge Is
1.26 a ton, which Is purely nominal In
view of the fact that It cuts about 10,
000 miles and two months of almost
continuous steaming from the timo re

Tho canal has been completed after
almost four centuries of effort by tho
leading nntlons of tho world. Balboa
Hrst saw the possibilities of tho canal
when ho crossed tho Isthmus on Sop
tembor 25, 1513, nnd found himself
gazing on tho Pacific ocean. In the
noxt year Balboa and his men carried
two small ships across the Isthmus,
Intending to uso them in tho Pacific,
and threo years Inter tho city of Pan
ama was founded to become, In a short
timo, tho richest city in tho world
and tho terminus of the routo by
moans of which Spanish adventurers
transported tho plunder of tho Incas
from Poru and other South Ameri
can countrlos to Spain. Highways wcro
paved with brick across the Isthmus
to provlda routo for tho pack animals.
Tho first definite plans for a canal
woro proposed by Savadera, a Spanish
engineer among Balboa's followers,
who was about to forward his project
to King Charles V. of Spain when tho
king dlod. Surveys of tho- proposed
canal routo first woro made In 1581 by
Spanish englnoers, who reported the
projoct lmposslblo of accomplishment.
In 1620 King Phillip II decided against
building tho canal after referring the
question to tho Dominican friars, who
suggostcd the project was sacrilegious
bocauso "What God hath Joined to
gether, lot no man put asunder."
England becamo Interested in the
possibilities of a canal In the latter
part of tho seventeenth century when
William Paterson, founder of tho Dank
of England, tried to found a commun

the present Panama, with tho ultimate

proved an utter failure, other British

In the first part of the last century
tho German poet, Gootho, said: "It 1b
absolutely Indispensable that tho
United States effect a passage from
the Moxlcan gulf to the Pacific ocean,
and I am certain they will do It."
In 1814 the Spanish government, by

ities. Blddlo reported In tho following
year that he had been so struck by
tbo feasibility of the Panama route
that he had not visited the other pro
posed routes, tho Nlcaraguan, Darlen
and Tchuantepoc projects.
Ferdinand do LessepB, the builder ol
the Suez canal, formed tho Interocean
tc Canal company in Paris In 1877 and
actual work on the canal was started
In tho next year. On January 20, 1880,
tho Do Lessops company, In the pres
ence of a distinguished gathering, fired
the first blast for tho tearing away ol

operations and under his leadership
the bulk of tho work has been done.
Tho first union of tho Pacific and At

when Presldont Wilson touched an

The first boat of any description tc

November, 1913, nnd was sent to the
Atlantic entrance In the following
month.
On January 7, 1914, the crane boat

Principles of
Health

(Copyright. 1914. by A. S. Cray)
ANEMIA.
Life and health aro among our most
familiar words nnd In their ordinary
meaning probably no words are more
widely understood, and yet In specific
application no terms are more difficult
to oxpress and comprehend. It Is
generally understood that life consists
In an ability to change and to adapt
to environment, and probably It will
be generally agroed that health Is an
Individual condition of sound mind,
normal body, absence of disease and
a normal blood supply.
Few of us ever get very far along
life's highway without departing In
some degree from this ideal condi
tion, and few over fully recover it
onco It 1b lost, largely because we do
not understand what we have lost,
where we lost It, why we lost It, how
we lost It or how it may be regained.
The chief characteristic of disease
Is loss of physical strength and of
color, and few convalescents from
even comparatively slight illness fall
to show these two symptoms In
marked degree. We cover tho condi
tion, quite satisfactorily to most of
us, by saying, "Wo aro a little ane
mic," and then we take oomo Iron
because it Is known that Iron has a
strong affinity for oxygen and wo
know that our body cells must havo
oxygen to breatho in order to restore
the ruddy glow of health to the cheek,
the rhythmic and vigorous swing to
the walk, the sparkle of vim and en
ergy to the eye
Anemia as generally understood is a
condition mnrked by pallor of the skin
and mucous membranes, and by palpi
tation nnd debility, duo to a deficiency
In the blood or Its constituents.
To bo nble to sense the character of
any physical body we must be able to
see and to comprehend Its throe di
mensions of length, breadth and thick
ness nnd personally to test Its density
and hardness; and In like manner to
win and mnlntaln health wo must see
and comprehend Its limits.
The blood contains Iron and the
Iron in the blood corpuscle Is mostly
In a combination known as "hemoglo
bin," which has a peculiarly looso af
finity for oxygen and carries that ele
ment to tho Individual cells through
out tho body, enabling them to
"breatho."
Wo havo already noted In previous
articles that we can live only about
threo minutes without air, and wo
shall seo as we pursue this Inquiry
how quickly nnd lhtelllgontly nature
adjusts and compensates for material
changes In environment, if only we
have sufficient intelligence not to In
terfere with her systom.
It Is on this complicated cycle of
changes that our health, happiness
and sanity depends, and the slightest
visible evidence of anemia may be
taken to mean a grave disturbance of
the balance between these changes and
consequently of every vital function
of the body.
For sound health normal digestion
Is a necessity; for sound thought, nor
mal digestion is likewise a necessity.
The nervous system, controlling pbfe
iologlcal processes. Is dependent for
Ub health and ability to function on
the nutrition derived from the blood;
and it is owing to deficient nutrition
derived from the blood in anemia that
tho tissues of the secreting glands and
tho glands themselves, the secreting
cells, the secretions and the muscular
and all other tissues of the digestive
system, are in a defective condition,
In consequence of which they are In
capable of fulfilling tholr functions.
Children of anemic parents have ill
developed bloodtormlng organs at
birth and consequently are unable to
manufacture red corpuscles In suffici
ent quantity or of normal quality.
These congenital anomlcs, unless
given extraordinary care, nro unable
to develop normally and go to form
our arrested development types.
Fortunately, tho matter of sound
blood need not be a matter of per
sonal opinion, as there are scientific
means available for determining -its
condition onco we are made to com
prehend the gravity of any departure
from tho normal.
UNDERFED BLOOD.
The fundamental basis of all philos
ophies Is the pursuit ot happiness.
And we fall to attain the desire only
REMARKS THAT CAUSED WAR

While It Lasted.
While the policy of watchful waiting
continued in Moxlco City, Washington
had a little Mexican war ot Its own.
Not much blood was shed and no ar

because we are unable to make out
Ideas colncldo with things as they
actually exist This being truo, then
In anemia wo have tho most general
and tho most Insidious and destruc
tive foe to tho attainment of man's
chief desire happiness. For the
fundamental characteristic of anemia
Is lassitude, weakness and impotence
incapacity for happiness.
Examination of every efficient steam
engine will disclose that tho designer
and tho construction engineers havo
recognized tho necessity of construct
ing tho machine according to tho re
quirements of natural physical laws,
and thero will bo found a definite ra
tio between tho grate surface on which
tho carbon fuel ia burned, tho boiler
Burfaco by means of which tho water
la exposed to the heat ot combustion
and the cylinder area and stroke
through which the transformed po
tential energy Is delivered as dynamlo
energy.
Our bodies, Uko othor machines,
havo a definite capacity for trans
forming potential energy contained in
what wo call food Into dynamic en
ergy, and thore Is not any great mar
gin, or, as tho engineers call It, fac
tor of safety. We work close to our
capacity most of tho timo. Thoroforo,
If we waste energy or if wo do not
tako In sufficient quantity of food of
tho right quality wo fall to maintain
our physical energy balance. A steam
engine or a gasoline engine simply
stops when tho fuel runs out, but the
human body cannot stop and live.
Normal blood ot tho average man
contains about five million corpuscles
per cubic millimeter, a millimeter be
ing approximately one twenty-fifth of
an Inch. We have noted that tho total
area of all the corpuscles In the body
of tho averago man Is approximately
35,000 square f5et, and that tho hem
oglobin spread over this area of blood
corpuscles carries oxygen to the cells
in distant parts of tho body to cnablo
them to breathe or oxidize and burn
up the matter necessary to cell life.
This corpuscular area passes through n
capillary network In the lungs approx
imating 807 square foot of surface.
Nowhere In nature do we find any
great margin over nctual necessities,
and tho fact that there is a matorlal
difference In the net results of com
bustion at low and at high altitudes
raises many questions in tho inquiring
mind. We know that water bolls at
sea level at 212 degrees Fahrenheit,
and at 10,000 feet above sea level tho
same water bolls at 192 degrees Fahr
enheit. Many of us have experienced
tho practical dlfilcultles of this in at
tempting to cook beans or boll eggs
at the higher altitude. If our oxygen
balance is so close and delicate, how
Is It then that man lives and thrives
as well at the high as at the low alti
tude? In clearing up this point we find an
Illustration of tho wonderful compen
sating power these bodies ot ours
havo, If we will only give them the
necessary material to work with. Tho
first effect of our going quickly from a
low to a high altitude Is that most of
us are subject to symptoms exactly
paralleling thoso of anemia; there is
weakness, palpitation, shortness of
breath, pallor of tho skin, and many
aro liable to faint as tho result of any
material exertion. But after a few
weeks "we get used to the climate"
and overything resumes the normal
again.
Now, as a matter of fact, we have
experienced a "technical" anemia.
Tho lightness of tho air gave us less
oxygen at each breath; less pressure
on our bodies called for more blood In
the tissues, consequently less blood
was In tho veins and arteries. .There
fore, tho heart and lungs had both to
work harder and faster to keep things
moving. But after about two weeks a
blood count will show that the 6,000,
000 corpuscles to the cubic millimeter
have increased at 5,000 feet altitude
to 6,600,000 corpuscles.
If tho body is so Jealous of Its bal
ance in numbers and areas of blood
corpuscles as shown by Its so cleverly
matching one against tho other "au
tomatically," as we express It we can
begin to understand why there Is so
much unrest and unbapplness when
through deficiency of hemoglobin the
oxygen demands of the body are re
duced one-tenth or one-half. Kirk sa,ys
that 13,000 grains of oxygen are ab
sorbed dally "by the lungs of an aver
age healthy adult; therefore, if hemo
globin is 10 per cent deficient that In
dividual would receive only 11,700
grains, and It 20 per cent deficient only
11,400 grains.
In all anemias the Individual cells,
the corpusfies, suffer first In quality;
that is to say, tho hemoglobin con
tents aro first reduced and then after
a time tho corpuscles themselves be
gin to detorlorntp in general quality
and number.
Barring a congenital anemia result
ing from very anemic mothers, in

dicator ot health.

""" -- i
M EW YORK. Lower Broadway Is going to loso ono of Its newsies. Isidore
li Greenberg, who for 13 years has sold papers at tho northeast corner ol
Broadway and Fulton street, Is going to onter Cornell to study scientific agri
culture! He told a reporter that he
medicine?"
"Tho woods are full of them," said Izzy, "and then you've got to remem
ber that scientific agriculture Is the coming thing. I've stood on tho corner
down there many a long afternoon looking and listening and thinking it
all out.
"I've watched the faces of tho thousands of men and women who passed
me in the crowds and it atruck me that a lot of them woro playing a losing
game. They were prisoners of the city, serving a life sentence.
"I know that the day would come when I'd have to quit the gamo on
the corner, and I kept wondering what I'd do. The outdoor life haa mado
me hard as nails. I wanted to find something that would keep me out in
God's fresh nlr something that I liked and that would be a paying propo
sition. "And then it all came to me in a flash. People have forgotten that all
the wealth in the world comes out of the ground. They've left the open
places of tho earth and have crowded into tho markets in tho cities, and
they are stepping on each other and narrowing themselves, mentally and
physically, while they grub for pay dirt.
"Pretty soon, some day, they are going to go back home back to tho
forests and the farms, and when the back-to-nature movement starts the man
who has specialized In scientific agriculture Is going to have his day."
Love Powders a Failure; Wizard Lands in Cell
CHICAGO. Prof. Pesizo Lomez, the "love-powder man," landed in Jail the
other day. The police believe this announcement will havo the effect of
breaking a number of "love spells" which the "professor" conjured up for
negro women on the South side at $1
per conjure.
Professor Lomez Is a negro who
found it convenient for business rea
sons to adopt the Cuban flag as his
national symbol. His real name Is
John Henry William Rogers at least
that Is as much of it as the polico
have at present,
"Lady, has you any love trou
bles? Is yo' fee-an-see untrue to you?
Is yo husband's love gettln' like n
col' potato? Does you want to bring
back some gentlem'n fren who loved and went away?"
This was the introduction used at South side back doors by Professor
Lomez.
Tho charm seller then introduced the powder that would bring to pass
the wishes of the purchaser.
With mysterious passes of the hand he would mix the powder in half a
glass of water nnd tell his patron to drink it.
"Now concentrate on the object of yo' deslahs," he would say. tying a
small gold-colored thread around tho patron's left ankle. The dexterous col
lection of $1 completed the "conjuring."
Mrs. Anna Wllvey of 335 West Thirty-seventh street met the love pow
der man at Forty-second street and Wentworth avenue, where he was Just
coming out of a house. She called a policeman and had tho "professor"
arrested.
"That powder didn't work on me; I want my dollar back," said Mrs.
Wllvey.
"Bread Cast on Waters"
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Milton Elrod, an Indianapolis business man, has be
come convinced that bread cast on the waters will return after many days.
In his case, however, it came back in a few hours.
but he would fix it if he could. It did',
not take long to find the trouble and ho soon had the engine going. The
occupants were profuse In their thanks and offered to pay him for his trou
ble. Ho declined with thnnkB and one of tho men said he might be In a
position to favor him some day and that bo would not forget his kindness.
Elrod got back to the city about nine o'clock the same evening and was
"hitting It up" pretty lively In North Meridian street when a policeman
stepped out and stopped him.
"Little too fast thore, partner. Better drive down to the station houso
with me," said the policeman.
Ho then stepped up to the side of tho car and got his first view of Elrod.
A moment later he surprised that young man by ordering him to drive on.
"Beat it and beat it quick," he said.
Tho policeman was one of the occupants of the stalled car near Martinsville.
Society Woman's Black and White "Child" Lost
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. A symphony In black and white, In which figured
a black and white automobile, a black and white gowned society matron
of Nob Hill nnd n blnck and white "child" almost turned out a tragedy the
other day at the ocean beach. First
tho society woman left her automobile
and raced up and down and In and
out of the park near by. Finally she
saw a policeman, nnd In accents wild
implored him to "find her child."
"Just the sweetest llttlo thing, so

with a pink face. He crawled out ot
my car and ran into the bushes As
sistance, Mr Policeman, dear Mr. Po

Immediately the doughty officer
thought of kidnapers So. before he advanced Into the bushes, he drew his
trusty revolver and held It ready. The matron followed, remarking that tho
"child" might bo in a sand pile, as he dearly loved to play In dirt.
At the end of half an hour's search the policeman saw a movement In
the bushes. Ho crept up cautiously and drew the branches aside.
There, scratching1 and pawing In the ground, was a little white Spitz dog.
"My child, my own dearly beloved Ruthle!" cried the woman, as she
leaped for tho animal. "I thought I had lost you, you naughty, naughty girl.
