Anxious About ts Fate In War Time Causing Some Concern to Those in High Places. LITTLE DANGER FROM U-BOATS Real Peril In That One or Two Men Put Ashore From Submarine Might Make Way Overland and Dynamite Lock Gate. By EDWARD D. CLARK. (WushliiKton Correspondent of tlio West ern iNGwniuiur uinun. Washington. -Anxiety ,ls evident In places where anxiety means concern over tho futo of the Panama canal In war time. It Is believed Implicitly that If hos tilities open tho German sea power will strlko nt tho l'auama canal. Now It might bo snld that the German navy Is In no condition to do damage to tho great waterway. The danger perhaps Is not great, but there Is n dnnger nevertheless, and It will put tho United States forces on tho Isth mus to their keenest endeavor to hold tho locks sufe. Under tho present conditions Ger many can send nothing more formida ble than big submarines to tho waters nbout Pannmu. There probably Is no danger at nil that these submarines can enter tho canal and torpedo tho first lock nt Gutun. The peril therefore Is not so much from a direct attack by a submarine as It Is that one man or two men put ashore from a U-boat might make their way overland unseen md dynn inlto a lock gate. Tho thing for Germany to do, of course, from a strategic point of view, Is to close tho Panama cunnl. Through It dally pass vessels from tho west const of America laden with supplies, mainly food, for tho allied nations of Europe. If the canal could bo closed Germany would bo greatly tho gainer. Now It Is possible that an under- tho-Bcn boat might submerge some- whero outsldo of Toro Point break water and mako Its way Into tho canal, passing below tho surface and of course unseen by tho forts. It is not known definitely to laymen, bow over, whether tho water Is deep enough for a submiuino to make this trip with devastation ns Its end. Can Easily Bo Protected. If tho way Is deep enough oft the entrance to tho canal to permit submarine to dlvo and to mako Its way Into tho canal channel, tho chances nro that the precautions takon by tho canal guards would pre vent tho boat from traversing tho wu tcrway which Is not wide and which easily can bo protected by nets. A submarine cannot do damage with Its under-the-water torpedoes unless It is fairly close to tho object to be attacked. This, of course, prevents any U-boat from sending a torpedo against a lock gate. As a matter of fact, the tlrst lock gate at Panama on tho Atlantic side Is eight miles from tho const. When a submiuino comes to tho sur face It enn use Its small guns for ns snlllng purposes, but If It should come to tho surface at the entrance to tho canal proper It would bo too far away from tho locks to do any damage with Its small guns, nnd moreover, tho inln ute It appeared It would bo sunk by tho guns which guard tho approaches to the canal. For tho present at least the only danger of attack on the Panama canal Is from tho Atlantic side. The lock at Mlrallorcs near the Pacific end of the canal Is only about a mile distant from tho coast. The Pacific end of things, however, Is today a matter of small concern to the waterways de fenders, although, of course, no moans of possible attaciris being overlooked. Recently roads have been built ouj through tho Jungle from tiro waterway to different points near tho const. It Is the Intention eventually, and lu part tho work already 1ms been done, to mount batteries to defend thoso ave nues of approach. There was a long discussion at the beginning of things as to whether or not tho Junglo should not bo allowed to grow up and tluui form nn Impediment to n foo who bad landed a force somewhere on tho const with n vlow to nn overland attack on tho canal. Real Danger to Canal. Tho jungle hnj been cut away In largo part, for tho first thought con cerning tt as n means of defense wns given over. In fact urmy olllcors Bay It would afford tho best kind of a cover for nn approaching enemy. Tho dan ger to tho cunut, as dangers look nt present, does not come from the pos tJ-Ullty of an iittack by a largo armed Panama Canal forco of land troops, nor from a di rect attack by a submarine. Tho dnn ger Is that some under-the-sea boat might land ono or two men or possibly half n dozen men nt some point not far from the wntcrwny and trust to them to make their way to the locks there to plant their dynamite, to detonate It and to render tho canal useless for months as n commerce way. The fortlflcntlons defending the canal approaches on both sides of the Isthmus nro twentieth-century de fenses. Tho gray nnd green forts of Toro Point and Mnrgucrltu Island on tho Atlantic side, nnd on the Islands of Nnos, Flamenco, I'erlco nnd Culebra on tho Pnclflc sldo It Is believed will servo ns all sufficient bulwnrks against n direct sen attack If the United Stntes navy should be overcomo nnd enemy ships should move In to tho assault. There Is a brigade of troops under the command of Utig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards on the Isthmus today. There are enough men there to man the ar tillery, both heavy nnd light, nnd the forco seemingly Is sufficient to guard ugalnst milling purtros bent on de stroying tho locks. Of course lu case of an nttcmpt by a few men "to crawl Into tho attack" tho thing resolves It self Into ono of cxtrcmo'watchfulncss. It Is known that u heavy cordon of gunrds has been thrown around vul nerable places along the Isthmus right of way. Masters Static Professor Pubin of Columbia Makes System Available De spite Interference. HAS MANY NOTED INVENTIONS Remarkable Career Begun ac Poor Im migrant Boy Hao Crowning Glory Pupln Coll Most Remarkable of His Achievements. Now York. Prof. Michael I. Pupln of Columbia university has Just de vised and will soon nnnounco a perfect method of eliminating static Interfer ence with wireless transmission. This Interference has been the great draw back to wireless telegraphy since that means of communication was in vented. Tho now Invention, If It accomplishes perfectly Its object, will ba listed as ono of tho most Important electro, physical discoveries over made. Un der present conditions It Is often Im possible to get wireless messages through for days becauso of atmospher ic and other physical Interferences, and at all times of the year during portions of tho day trans mission Is Impossible. Professor I'll pin's Invention, however, Is Intended to make It possible to use the wireless for IH hours u day every day In the year. The Importance of the Invention In time of war ts Inciilculable. Came ao an Immigrant. Tho Invention became known recent ly when Columbia university nluinnl gave a testimonial dinner to Professor Pupln at Dolmonico's. Although the dinner was arranged primarily for en- glneeiing graduates, all nluinnl of all schools wore asked to honor the man who, as nn Immigrant boy, landed nt Castle Garden In the fall of 1S74. Professor Pupln thus singled out by Columbia to be honored as Its fore most contributor to science and en gineering, bus u unbiue place lu Co lumbia's history. Dr. Cary T. Hutch inson, In tho Columbia Alumni News, sketches his life. Whon the boy landed at the Bat tery he, wealing a rod for., started up Hroailway. Nowsboys began to poke fun at him; there was a tight, which tho Immigrant won. Ho went back to the Mattery and was taken as a labor er to Maryland; there he drove a mule team. He worked his way hack to New York, usually serving as u hired man on farms. In New York Vr.pln, tho youth, got any work possible, studying nights and reading tho newspapers assiduously. He attended night school at Cooper Union, saving hlu money, and by 1870 he had ?!J11 hoarded. Ho took an ex amination for Columbia and won a scholarship. Ha was graduated In four years and then ho studied In Eng land and Gcrmnny. Devised Wireless Tuning. In 18SS ho was usked to becomo pro fessor on tho theoretical sldo of a now courso In electrical engineering. Since then his inventions hnvo been many and Important.

Wireless Puzzle them Is an Invention In wireless tun ing, practiced universally toduy In wireless telegraphy. Professor Pupln was tho first In this country to take up the study of X-ray; he was tho first In this country to re peat the Roentgen experiments, and the lirst to use the X-ray practically for surgical purposes. Probably his most Important Invention Is the Pupln coll, universally used In telephony and telegraphy, which has done more to ex tend the sphere of telephonic work than nil othor inventions together, and which makes possible telephone talk from New York to San Francisco.

In selecting cows for dairy herds there nro several essential points to consider. The cow should have great stomnch capacity; avoid u round bodied cow whose ribs are short, and n llat-ribbed cow. There should be ample room for the udder, which should extend well forward and not hang down. The Ideal Dairy Cow. The dairy cow should be deep and wide from 1 to 2 as this gives her large capacity for rough feed. The back from 1 to 4 should be sharp, with little flesh, when she to In good condition. She should be well cut up behind so that the udder can extend well up, as at 3. Her flank should be well arched, as at 5, to provide room for a large udder. milk veins should be large nnd the farther they go the better. The udder 3hould be looso and pliable, when jmpty not Ueshy. The eyes should be large nnd bright and project well out from the face. This Is n strong Indication of tho nerve forco needed for strong diges tion nnd large milk secretion. LACK OF SHELTER FOR COWS Exposure to Cold Rains Causes Big Drop In Milk Production Clean liness Is Important. ,By C. H. ECKLK9. Missouri College ol Agriculture, j The dairy cow often suffers tho most from exposure to the weather before real winter has begun. After steady sold comes the cow Is generally 3tabled. Exposure to cold rains is often more Injurious to tho animal than the colder but dry weather in winter. The dnhy cow Is not like the fat Jteer, protected from cold by a layer of fat. As a result, bad weather causes a big drop In milk production. So long ns the weather Is dry It Is just is well to leave the cow outside nights, out every cold rnln should find her protected. It Is not necessary In the cllmntc of Missouri to go to any great expense on most farms In order tbnt the barn moy bo warm. The main thing Is to "lave tight walls so there is no draft ir wind, and a good roof. Care should be taken In arranging the stalls In the form of n platform of tho right length and n gutter of sufficient depth o hold the mnnure. The clennllness if the milk depends to n considerable xtent upon having tho barn built so lie cow will keep herself clean. ROUBLE WITH CALF SCOURS I Overfeeding, Sour Milk Palls and Ir regularity In Feeding are Usu ally the Causes. Probably the greatest difficulty with vhlch the cnlf feeder has to contend Is scours. Overfeeding, sour milk palls, cold water and Irregulnrlty In feeding ore usually the causes, says n writer In Field. As soon ns signs of scours ore noticed It Is recommended that the milk bo reduced to one-half, and that a teaspoonful of dried blood be added to tho milk fed. No dried blood that has not been thoroughly sterilized should be used. In severe cases of spoiirs. the nildltlon of ono or two eggs with the dried blood has been found to bo very effective. In severe cases, It is recommended that tho calf be given ono or two ounces of castor oil In the morning which is followed In nbout 12 hours by IB drops of laudanum and u tfospoonful of dried blood. CLEANLINESS IN DAIRY BARN wo Hours Should Elapse After Feed 2iq, Bedding or Brushing Before Milking Is Begun. deeding, bedding or brushing up Fjould never tnko place within two hours before milking. Tho dust rnlsed by these operations takes a long tlmo to settle, nnd If theso operations are conducted shortly before milking, a very considerable quantity will of ne cessity find Its way Into tho milk cans und palls. For this reason, nlso, uncovered cans and palls, with or without milk In them, should never bo left standing In tho barn, but should bo removed to tho mjlkhouso whero tho air Is clean. ' N Girls!

THREE DEER WITH ONE SHOT This Remarkable Record Was Made In 1830 by Man Whom Court Excused. John Carloton of Newark, N. Jn writes to the New York Sam ns fob lows : "I have been told that In two In stances In Maine during tho Inst hunt ing season two deer were killed with one shot. Hns such a record been sun passed?" Yes, three deer killed with one shot Is recorded In the report of the Mas sachusetts fish nnd game commission for 1912-13-14, which reads ns follows : "About the year 1830 John Rider of Plymouth killed three deer nt one shot In that town. It wns In a summer sea son In n rye field. It wus out of season by law to kill deer.
