The Charm of Effervescence.
What is there so fascinating about
a "fizzing” beverage? Why are the
aoda fountains thronged by crowds
who would not touch their product;
after the dissolved gas had passed off?
The reason Is doubtless partly psych
ical, hut does not seem to have been
clearly stated. A writer in the Lon
don Lancet makes an attempt at it.
and succeeds in raising some interest
ing questions, at least. He notes, in
the first place, that artificially aerated
waters are a comparatively modern in
vention. They were suggested, no
doubt, partly by natural sparkling
waters and partly by effervesent fer
mented liquors. He goes on: “What
ever may have been its origin, the
discovery of artificially aerated waters,
as exemplified in the universality of
soda water, seltzer water, and potash
water, proved to be the beginning of
an enormous industry, and millions of
dozens of aerated waters are now made
annually, involving the employment of
probably at least 50,000 persons in this
country alone. This fact, coupled with
the numerous devices which enable
the consumer to prepare his own soda
water at home, would seem to indicate
that the introduction of aerated waters
filled a place in tfte requirements of
modem life, and the question arises
as to whether the frequent drinking of
waters strongly impregnated with car
bonic acid gas has any prejudicial ef
fect upon the health. It is an inter
esting feature of the case that total
abstainers formed at one time the
chief patrons of aerated beverages.
The pleasant, sharp taste of soda
water, lemonade, and so forth formed
an agreeable contrast to the usual
drinks of the teetotaler. The lemon
squash made with soda water was a
much more interesting beverage than
still lemonade, and so ‘the minerals’
made a very acceptable addition to
the beverages of a class of persons
whose views we all respect.”

The Submarine Boat.
The French government has experi
mented with no fewer than 16 types
'of submarine boats, yet no entirely
satisfactory results have been attained.
The motor question presents one of
the chief difficulties. What is wanted’
is an apparatus which works equally
well under and above water. The
present tendency is to arrange the
larger boats for offensive, the smaller
for defensive purposes, and it is in
tended to increase the former to a
displacement of 500 tons. The exten
sion of the armament from one tor
pedo tube to seven is considered by
some foreign experts a mistake, as no
boat is likely to fire more than two.
While considerable progress has been
made in the art of managing the
boats within the past year, says the
New York Post, the sighting question
still presents serious difficulties, al
though the officers claim to be satis
fied in regard to the facilities for ori
entation and aiming. Excessive con
fidence in the present types of boat
is one of the French faults; it led
last year, among other things, to the
Bizerta disaster, by which 12 men lost
their lives. Still, France leads the
world in the construction and manage
ment of submarine boats. England
ranks next. She adheres to the elec
tric motor, and has reached a displace
ment of 300 tons in the latest boats.
In Germany, as here, the submarine
boat is still regarded as a very im
perfect instrument of warfare.
Ballooning Up the Mountains.
A balloon railway is now running
up the mountains at Salzburg, Aus
tria. It consists of a large captive
balloon attached to a single steel rail
way which in turn is fixed firmly to
the side of a steep mountain, whose
precipitous slopes no other form of
railway could climb without making a
series of serpentine detours and pass
ing through the tunnels. The bal
loon remains balanced in the all
about ten yards by a stout wire cable,
and it is moved up and down the
side of the mountain at the will of the
engineer. For an ascent the balloon
itself furnishes the lifting force by
means of hydrogen; for the descent
a large reservoir attached to the bal
loon is filled with water at the high
est station and serves as ballast. Un
ifier the balloon is a circular car seat
• ing ten persons. The wire cable
passes through the floor of the car to
a speed regulator beneath, which is
controlled by the engineer. The in
ventor, Herr Balderauer, of Salzburg,
claims that the balloon railway will
replace the funicular railway in the
future.
' Four of Queen Victoria’s grand
daughters remain unmarried. If the
regal old lady were now living this
state of things would probably not ex
ist. Seventeen of them, however, have
entered the wedded state, so that the
outlook for the continuation of thr
royal lines in Europe is not bad, all
things considered.
Simplified spelling seems to be do

There is apparently no adulteration
in ice, but the dealers in it are be
ing hauled over the coals quite as
unmercifully as if they had been can

weigh heavy with sawdust. Why in
terfere with an art that requires so
much skill in cutting a ten-cent piece
of congealed water.
If the Michigan millionaire who

Since the discovery of the Isthmus
of Panama, or Darien, as it was at
first called, there is hardly a spot on
earth that has attracted so much at
tention. Balboa, the Spanish naviga
tor, was the first to cross the divide
and saw the Pacific on September 25,
1513. Its history during the nearly
400 years that have since elapsed is
filled with stories of bloodshed and
cruelty. The Spaniards slaughtered
the Indians as they did the inoffensive
Caribs. The buccaneers under such
monsters as Hawkins and Morgan
committed crimes against the Span
iards that appear almost incredible.
The sack of the old City of Panama
is one of the darkest pages in the his
tory of nations. It is a relief to turn
from these subjects to a history of
suffering supported by the dictates of
duty and patriotism as enrolled in the
archives of the United States naval
department at Washington.
From Tehuantepec to New Granada
every effort had been made fifty years
ago to find a suitable route for a ship
canal through the Cordilleras. An
Irish romancer wrote a book describ
ing such a route, and English capital
ists sent out an engineer named Gis
borne to make a survey. He returned
with maps and figures and wrote a
book describing an alleged practicable
route. All were false and it is doubt
ful if he ever penetrated the isthmus
at all. On his statement that there
was a gap of only 150 feet in height
above sea level, a company was
formed with a capital of 175,000,000
to construct a canal. Gisborne’s
falsehoods were speedily discovered,
but an English party sent up the
Savana river in 1853, after penetrating
a few miles, returned in despair,
minus four men killed by the Chu
quanaqua Indians, a fierce tribe of the
interior.
Sought Through Route.
The idea at the time was to discover
a route from Caledonia bay, on the At
lantic, to Darien harbor, on the Pa
cific. To this end the United States
steamship Cyanne was sent with an
exploring party to Caledonia bay,
while a British ship, the Virago, went
to Darien harbor to give assistance if
needed. The Cyanne’s party consisted
of Lieutenant Isaac C. Strain, in com
mand; Passed Midshipmen Charles
LAtimer and William T. Truxton, First
Assistant Engineer J. M. Maury, Mid
shipman H. M. Garland, a volunteer
from the Cyanne; A. T. Boggs, S. H.
Kettlewell, J. Sterritt Hollins, who
were assistant engineers, and Dr. J.
C. Bird, surgeon. Mr. Maury was as
tronomer and secretary. Senors Cas
tilla and Polanco went along as repre
sentatives of New Granada, in which
state the proposed route lay. The bal
ance of the party of twenty-seven con
sisted of tried seamen of the navy.
Misled by Gisborne's maps and
statements, the party took only ten
days’ provisions, but was amply sup
plied with arms and ammunition. Of
that party of twenty-seven men that
left the Cyanne, on January 17, 1854,
only eighteen ever saw the ship again,
the other third having perished miser
ably in the depths of the tropical for
es, or after the rescue of the party.
Advancing up the bed of the Cale
donia river, they were soon forced to
take to the land, where progress could
only be made by hewing a path
through the dense foliage. The Indians
fled before them, first burning their
tents and canoes. The explorers were
speedily immersed in the appaling
difficulties of a tropical country, ag
gravated by steep precipices and deep
canons. Holcomb, Winthrop, Hollins,
Dr. Bird and Roscoe strayed from the
column on January 20 and were never
heard of again. Deeply as Strain felt
for them, he was obliged to push on
after firing repeated signals for them
to return. They found an Indian guide,
who appeared to be honest at that
time and said he would guide them to
the Savana, one and a half days’
march. He later encountered a band
of Chuquanaqua Indians and aban
doned the explorers. They finally
reached the Sucutetl river, a tribu
tary to the Chuquanaqua, which runs
into the Tutyra, and the latter into
Darien harbor by a most circuitous
route. Chuquanaqua is said to be the
most tortuous stream known to geo
graphers, as the unfortunate explorers
were soon destined to learn. It is said
to take a course double its own direct
length.
On Wearisome Journey.
The party struggled along the rock
strewn bed of the Sucuteti, believing
it to be the Savana, which would lead
them to relief and safety. Worn out
by incessant toil, Polanco and Kettle
well gave out, the latter begging to
be left behind. The men did not take
care of their rations, the Grenadians
had thrown away theirs and there was
but one day’s supply remaining. The
officers had some food left, and this
was divided among the party. Once
more the march was resumed, the
men struggling wearily through the
hills and dense forests.
Reluctantly Strain gave the order to
return to the river he had left and
there the first and last council of the
party was held. The conclusion was
reached that they were on the Igle
sias, set down by Gisborne as a branch
of the Savana. There was no trail
through the wilderness; three of the
men and one of the Grenadians were
utterly worn out. A few plantains
were found and divided. Eight birds
began to appear on the men and each
was found to contain a “worm of the
woods,” some of them an inch in
length. On the sixteenth day an acid
nut was discovered, but it destroyed
the enamel of the teeth and the diges
tive powers as well. Some turkeys
were shot and the stage was reached
where even the buzzards and cranes
were welcomed as food.
On the eighteenth day they had a
great misfortune. Truxton only was
intrusted with the sole fishhook. He
gave it to Castilla, who turned it over
to one of the men, who broke it.
Strain said nothing beyond pointing
out the probable result. It cost many
lives, as the Chuquanaqua, when
reached, was full of fish, but there
were no means of catching any.
Small Craft Soon Wrecked.
On the twentieth day the Grena
dians asked permission to return and
take a man with them. This was
granted and they were furnished with
good arms. Their idea was to reach
some New Grenadian settlement and
procure aid there. The party was
now reduced to nineteen persons and
the march was resumed. The Gre
nadians rejoined the next day; they
had built a small craft, but it was
soon wrecked. The day after Strain
took three men to push their way
rapidly down the river and secure aid
for the rest of the party, leaving >Jr.

were shot, among them an owl and a
woodpecker, and some small fish were
caught by Mr. Truxton. An Iguana
was shot and, in vainly trying to re
cover it from the river, Holmes lost
his boot, which later on caused his
death.
On the thirteenth day the New Gren
adians gave up in despair, although
the work had all been done by the
Americans. Lombard, the boatswain
of the party, became very ill. The
clothes and boots of the men were
torn to shreds and at night nothing
was heard but agonized groans. Boils
Cyanne, volunteered to accompany
him.
After many parting councils Strain
sadly left the main body on February
13. Occasionally a bird or an iguana
was shot and furnished a modicum of
food for the famished men. Lombard,
Harrison and Castilla failed entirely
on the twenty-eighth day. Holmes,
who had lost his boot, had a wounded
foot that was becoming gangrenous.
Some buzzards, a turkey and a pec
cary were shot, but there was no
marching until the thirty-seventh day
and then only for half a mile.
Lombard, Parks and Johnson left
the camp and hid. In their terrible
sufferings they had matured a plan to
hide until Holmes died, exhume the
body and subsist upon the flesh until
they reached the Atlantic coast. On
the thirty-eighth day Holmes breathed
his last and iis emaciated body, with
his musket alongside, was laid to rest
on the banks of the river in a grave
hollowed out with knives and an ax.
Decided to Go Back.
Lieutenant Strain was now twenty
one days gone, and it was evident that
the sixteen survivors would not live
for his return. They believed he was
dead and a council of the officers de
cided to countermarch and try to re
gain Caledonia bay. It cost a severe
struggle to reach this conclusion, but
it seemed the only hope. Truxton,
seated by Holmes’ grave, sadly penned
a letter of explanation to Strain,
should the latter ever regain the
place, and in it he begged him to push
on after the party. Then Parks was
missing and on March 6 a start was
made on the march to Caledonia bay,
the former being abandoned to his
fate. Both Grenadians were very ill,
but some of the seamen threw away
their arms to assist them along. All
the work was now being done by the
officers. The following day Castilla
lay down to rise no more and his body
was interred by the river. The party
strayed from the dark stream and was
soon lost in the jungle. Despair set
tled upon all. Polanco could go no
farther, and, with streaming tears,
the ragged, torn, starving men were
forced to abandon him to his fate. He
screamed in anguish, but there wa3
no resource and the unfortunate Gre
nadian was left alone. Later it was
discovered that he had crawled back
to his compatriot’s grave and died
upon it. nis remains were later found
in that position by Lieutenant Strain.
The following day Lombard asked to
be left behind, as it was clear he could
go no farther. They shared their
remnants of food with him and left
him to his fate. What this may have
been was never discovered. At his
earnest request his boatswain's whis
tle was left with him. The next day
a terrapin somewhat revived the thir
teen miserable men. Miller became
delirious and Harwood the weakest,
where all were weak. So dragged on
the weary days and nights until March
22, when Mr. Boggs agreed that ne
should be abandoned, although he still
hoped for succor. Mr. Truxton be
came very ill and the emaciated band
was forced to halt. It was evident
that four or five men would have to
be abandoned the next day and that
not more than two or three could hope
to reach Caledonia bay, if any one
ever did.
Knew Fate Was Sealed.
Truxton, Boggs and Harwood, all
young men, knew that their fate was
sealed. Hunger and toil had reduced
them to mere bundles of rags and
bones. Harrison and Vermilyea were
little better; that evening Maury stood
by the gloomy river. All were wrapped
in the darkest despair. Suddenly
Maury shouted, "Truxton, I hear a
gun; I see white men; I see Strain.”
No words can describe the delirious
excitement that brought the despair
ing, dying men to their feet as de
liverance appeared at hand.
Day after day the lion-hearted
Strain and his comrades had pushed
their way through fearful obstacles,
much of the path being cut by himself.
Reduced to skeletons, they at last
reached the village of Yavisa, to find
natives as venal as cowardly. He
managed to reach the ranch of an
Irishman named Bennet, on the Sa
vana, who gave to him the warmest
aid. The Virago returned from Pan
ama and boats laden with provisions
were soon on their way up Chuqukna
qua river and the rescued men were
brought back. They found Parks still
alive, but covered with wood ticks,
and he died a little later. Polanco’s
body was found, as described, on Cas
tilla's grave. Through all McGinness
had clung to the American flag,
wrapped around his body. Later it was
wrapped around the coffin of Vermil
yea, who died at Yavisa. The others
reached Panama, where Mr. Boggs
dfed. The survivors crossed the isth
mus to Aspinwall, all that were left
of the twenty-seven stalwart young
men who started up the Caledonia
river on January 17, 1S54. One-third
of the entire expeditionary party per
ished from hunger, or its effects, and
extreme toil on that dreadful, march
that began at the Atlantic and ended
at the Pacific ocean.

stant publicity and ex
posure to temptation,
such as the life of an actress. Every normal human being needs the
experience of earning money. A woman may not keep it up all her
life. She will probably prefer to invest her future in an occupation
valuable to her country, but not pecuniarily profitable to herself, that
of a mother and housekeeper. But Benjamin Franklin says the best
wife is she who, if her husband dies, can be both father and mother
to their children. No girl is thoroughly equipped for marriage unless
she is mistress of some trade by which she can support herself and
her children if left a widow.
The great danger is not that women will be dewomanized by self
support, but that men, women and children will be dehumanized by
having to work under unhealthful and degrading conditions, such
as are described in “The, Jungle.”
When Elizabeth Blackwell began to study medicine, the women
at her boarding house refused to speak to her, and women passing
her on the street held their skirts aside. When she began practice
in New York she had to buy a house, because no respectable boarding
or lodging house would take in a woman doctor.
When women began to speak in public against negro slavery, the
Congregational Ministers’ association of Massachusetts issued a pas
toral letter, declaring that the female character was threatened with
widespread and permanent deterioration because of “the harangues of
female orators.”
When Susan B. Anthony circulated a petition for a law to enable
married women to control their ojwn earnings, Representative Bur
nett said in the New York legislature: “These unsexed women are
seeking to destroy Christian marriage, and to erect on its ruins a
sort of legalized adultery.”
When Massachusetts in 1879 gave women the school vote, Senator
Wynne declared: “If we make this innovation we shall destroy the
race, which will be blasted by Almighty Qod!”
Yet womanliness has survived all the changes that we were told
would destroy it. After women have had the full ballot for 100 years
they will doubtless be still as essen tially' womnly as the women
of the cave dwellers. -- ---

We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat
ters became so bad that he had regu
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sorp. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.

India’s Cotton Crop.
The cotton crop of India was larg

average. About 20,000,000 acres were
planted in cotton and the yield was
about 3,500,000 bales. During the year
there were exported from India to
other countries over 2,125,000 bales
of raw cotton at a value of over $81,

Unlike cotton, it is not an annual
crop; once planted it will produce
for a dozen years. It does not ripen
evenly, and as soon as one crop is
pulled the plant goes on producing
again; occasionally, in tropical coun
