CONDITIONS IN PANAMA.
Only Objection of lloturnod Vliltor
Was In the Matter of
I Rnttonti ,
Edward T. Shea , the former sheriff
of 1'rhico George county , Mnrylnuil ,
arrived hero yesterday from Panama
ju his \vny homo to pass Ma vacation.
Ho has been employed tui u foreman
'on ' the Panama railroad atParalso , ami
will return there early In May , saya
I the Washington Star. Mr. Shoa wont
lo Panama about nine months ago ,
mil during thn Hum hn was there hn
waa elclc only two days.
"During the nlno months 1 wast
there , " ho Hiild to a SUir reporter , "I
dlil not huvo to go to the hospital. The
climate Is different from what It la
here , but It Is a matter of only a short
tlmo before one can become accllmatoil
ind get to enjoy It. The only fault
t liiivo to ilnd with conditions there Is
the matter of feeding the men. Unless
something la done to change the qual
ity of the food there will bo a scarcity
of labor there hi a short tlmo. "
Ho explained that a man who linn
lioon there six months Is entitled to a
leave of ah.ienco of six weeks. Many
of them who como away on their leave
of absence do not return. Unless a
change Is made In the matter of feed
ing or an Increase Is given In the mat
ter of pay , Mr. Shea repeated , the gov
ernment will experience trouble In get
ting the necessary help from the Unit-
oil States.
Mr. Shea said that ho was one of a
number of passengers who came from
Havana aboard the steamer Panama ,
formerly the City of Havana , and the
jtoamor reached Now York Sunday.
Many of the men , ho said , had on thin
clothing , one of them wearing a duck
suit and an overcoat. Ho was from
Huston , however , and did not mind It
much. Those who had only thin sum
mer clothing had expected to reach
Now York Saturday or Monday and In
tended to purolm.se now rlntlms UK nonn
as they arrived , but they reached there
Sunday and some of them felt the ef
fects of the weather to an unoomfort-
iblo extent before they wore able to
make purchases. The Uoston mail ,
wearing his white duck suit ami overcoat -
coat , attracted attention as ho walked
about the streets.
Workmen coming away on leave of
absence pay only $20 each way for
Ihclr transportation. The trip on the
Panama was a pleasant ono and was
greatly enjoyed by these who wore
homeward bound to visit friends.
HOW MOROS ARE CIVILIZED.
Learn , Little at a Tlmo , the Shroud
Business Methods of the West
ern World.
The Mores , llko all other natives
of the Philippines , are possessed of a
consuming dcslro to carry a "pass , "
30IHO sort of an olllclal certificate na
to character , home , business , etc. , of
the bearer , and they are willing to
pay any amount therefor , and never
think of It as taxation , -writes H. L.
Dullard , In Atlantic. On this weak
point the Mores showed the first slgrm
of yielding. Then the plan of Indi
rect taxation caught , pleased , and
overcame thorn , as It catches wiser
men than they. Imported cotton cloth
paying duty at the custom house had
long been reaching the Mores through
a few coast traders , and was uow In
largo use among the Moros. Touching
the jacket of the nearest datto : "You
are a lot of foolish and Ignorant chil
dren , " I said. "You arc haggling
ibout paying taxes when you have al
ready been doing It for years , and
have boon giving the Americans money
to pay me to pay the Interpreter and
j all my soldiers. " This at once struck
their attention. The explanation fol
lowed. They understood It remark
ably quickly. They saw the humor
and the truth of the thing , and , won-
derlng at the finesse that had been
able to make them contribute to their
own subjugation , yielded In a sort of
nonplussed way , feollng , nodoubt ,
that it was useless to hopa to escape
a people who could dovlso such a
imart system of getting money from
other people without the latter's even
knowing It. To my help also at this
Juncture came my old friend , the
priest Noskallm , the metropolitan , as
It were , of haimo , with , If not a rev
elation , something better wisdom
to his people : "It Is the will of Allah.
'ta-AlIah , The Merciful , who has many
names. "
In these ways government and civ
ilization have gained upon them ,
Volcanos of Philippines.
An interesting feature of the Philip
pines , which has IIH yet been neglect
ed , is their score or more of volcanoes ,
This addition makes the list of vol-
canoee in the United States a very Im
portant one. The volcanooti of Amer
ica , or the United States , are ot
especial Inctrest , and they are found
In the western country , as a rule woat
ot the llocky mountains. One of the
most beautiful of those Is Mount Shai-
ta , 14,410 feet high , which rears ita
massive twin cones In northern Cal
ifornia. Mount Helena in Oregon , 12-
600 feet in height , is a majestic vol
canic peak , and Mount Hood , 11.22E
feet , haa a world-wide fame for its
beauties , little thought being given tc
Its activities In the early geological
history of the continent. Other fa
mous peaks are Mount Jefferson , Mounl
Adams , Mount Rainier. Mount Dakei
and Mount Lassen.

the most Important of the food supply
of the world.
David Moore lluloh Is the chcmlsl'n

ticed a mass of seaweed torn from iUi
mooring upon the submerged rockii
and cast upon the shore.
Dalch Immediately recognized the
weed na a species of kelp , a broad loaf
t'ucoId seaweed. To It already had clus
tered and crystallized in the sun de
posits of what ho naturally supposed
to bo simple- salt from the evaporated
sea water.
The deposits Incrustcd on the leaves
ot the kelp so attracted llalch that ho
carried the seaweed back with him to
his laboratory. There to his utter
surprise , ho discovered that In place
of the simple- Halt of sodium the mih-
fltnnco was In reality rich In potas
sium.
