This is B. V. D. weather in earn- est. This is not an ad. The hogs will not be called to the trough. This is not a reflection on the editors. That eighty-two page industrial edition issued by the Duluth Herald under date of May 26 is a “Corker.” Nothing could better advertise Du- luth, the pride of Minnesota, than to send a copy of that paper broadcast throughout the land. It pictures the truth, nothing more or less, and the truth is the best kind of advertising. Minnesota has never been compelled to lie about its resources and Duluth has never found it necessary to resort to such methods. By this splendid edition the Herald clearly demon- strates that it has a newspaper plant of the first water, and newspaper men who know-how to run it. One hundred per cent efficiency crowns every page and Bemidji is proud to have such an establishment as a neighbor.

Ingenious Spiders. ‘The Royal soclety in London was re- cently entertained by a distinguished traveler with an account of a spider Hving' in ‘Australia which makes its habitation along the seashore, in:the crevices of the rocks, between -high nnd low water mark. But when the tide is in their homea are ocovered with water. Instead of de. them, however, the spiders solve the difficulty by means of closely woven sheets of ‘silk, which they stretch over the entrances, behind ‘which they manage to retain sufficlent alr to keep them alive during the tima they remain submerged.—The Sunday Magazine, Computes Heat in Sun's Rays.

Really Has Dmnnd.fl. ‘Naturalists: nd the werld 'at large seem to generally ‘accept the theory, that the’ domestio' dog 'is, in~ some gense, a° collateral descendant of the wolf or jackal, says Harper's Weekly, A professor in the Natural History museum of Paris has communicated results of his study of various canine skulls' to the Academy of -Sciences: He -appears to_have noticed certain peculiarities of ‘growth which have hitherto escaped roologists. He states that the skull of almosi every species of wolf and jackel differs from the skull of the shepherd-dog ta an extent that makes it impossible that this dog. should belong in the same classification. The skull of thq Indian wolf, on the contrary, shows some points of resemblance. This, in- deed, is-the only savage canine ‘the top of whose head pru]ecu like thai of our dog. ‘There are, moreover, other charac teristics which the Indian wolf has in common with the dog, and which the ordinary wolf does not share .with them, although his origin and that of the dog have long been supposed to be & common one. The conclusion of this sclentist i that the Indian wolf is-the progenitor of the shepherd dog and the blood: hound. There =were two primitive races of dogs analogous to these which were first domesticated in Central Asla, whence they passed to Europe, and there seems no reason to doubt that the bloodhound of today Is the direct descendant of the dog spoken of by the anclents as “the dog of the age of bronze.” Perils of Cookery. “Leezle, wumman,” the old High lander complained to his = wife ai breakfast, “thae eggs are michty hard boiled again.”” “Nae wonder, John dear,” replied his wife, triumphantly, “whaen the lassie boiled them by the kitchen clock, and forgot it was_ five meenits slow.”—Youth’s Companion. les Back Centurles.

Yet this is what has been done by the Americans since 1905. While the work of constructing the immense locks was -going on in the central part of the isthmus, a huge force of laborers, with steam shovels, .dredges, and other -modern machin- ery, was digging a channel from Bal- boa, the Pacific entrance to the canal, named after the great .discoverer, to the town of Miraflores, where the first locks are located. A great problem confronted the en- gineers in the excavating of this six ‘miles of sea level canal;-for-the Pa- cific ocean has a tide of twenty-one feet. This meant that in addition to i the digging of a channel deep enough to allow the largest ship to pass through, a retaining bank had to be lt:vms!.)ruc'.erl to prevent the flooding jof the surrounding territory at high tide, ? g Standing upon the top of Ancon Hill, a peak-just to the south of the canal, an excellent view is obtained of the work. From this point the can- | a1 can be seen from where it emexges from behind Soca Hill a high knoll tabout a mile inland from the Pacific entrance, to within a short distance lof Miraflores. The entire country for several miles’to the south of the canal along this stretch is comparatively low and flat. Immense fills are neces- sary to-protect it from tidal overflow. Thousands-of . trainloads of earth hauled from the excavations at other { places on the canal have been used in addition to what was taken from the cut along this section to build this embankment.” While called a retain- ing bank, it is in reality a new sur- face raised to-a height of from twen- ty feet to a hundred feet over several Centuries ago, when Balboa, cross-i| square:miles of territory. The work on this sea level stretch of canal was made even more difficult by the constant‘fioods, caused by the torrents of rainfall during the wet season from April to.December. The same spirit that made possible Cule- bra Cut and the:great locks has pre- vailed on this work. The men push- ing ahead overcame the many-difficul- ties, till At the present time, it is pfactically completed. It is hard to imagine that this vast territory, now -healthy, dry, and clean of dense tropical trees and veg- etation, was a few years ago an al- most impenetrable ‘jungle, the lurk- ing place of yellow fever and malaria. Many thousand French and American laborers fell victims to fever when working on this section, and were buried in a ' cemetery .so close to where the canal now runs that the white stones marking the graves can be plainly seen from the canal These gravestones stand as a constant re- minder of the tremendous human sac- rifice made, in order that the world might some day benefit by a water- way across the Isthmus of Panama. Every day a different human inter- 1 est story ‘will appear in the Pioneer.
