My Dear Mr. Abbot I desire to congratulate you most
heartily on your latest book, "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose."
A book of this kind Is usually regarded as a picture
book, and surely this one Is most beautifully illustrated.
But your book could be regarded as a picture book if one
were to regard It from its letter press alone. I found It'
packed with information about the world's most wonder
ful canal, about the people there and the tropical condi
tions and about the ruins and the history that tell of
Aztec and Toltec days and the later amazing adventures
of Balboa, Cortex and their handful of Spanish companions,
who mixed their private business of buccaneering with
an authorized business of exploring. I think the style in
which you have Vritten is most clear and flowing, and
altogether this book Is by far the best presentment of this '
mucb-talked-of subject that it has been my good fortune
to Bnd. Sincerely yours, HENRY GEORGE, JR.

TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It', a Ptriloua Matter to Endanger the
Life of a 8ultan.
Within two weeks after the assas
sination "f Mnhmud Sbefket Pasha,
the grand vizier of Turkey, thirty-two
n were put to death for taking pnrt
lu the conspiracy. According to Tur
kish custom handed down from tho
time of Mohammed, there la no limit
as to the numlwr of lives thnt may be
tiikeii aa I penulty for the murder of
one mnn. Even those Interested In
the remotest degtee are liable to the
aultnn'a vengeance. It it not so much
the number the ruler of Turkey la au
thorized to put out of the way, bnt
rather where the line It to be drawn.
The Turks htve a ttory of one of
the earlier tuccewors of Mohammed
whose life wat only endangered be
cause of a rock falling down a decliv
ity near which the sultan was riding
with his retinue. Hair a doxen of
those In charge of the trip were put to
death ts an ordinary matter of course,
then half a doxen more who might
hive remotely known something about
the facilities afforded by the road for
killing tbe.iultao. Finally all the mem-
opts or a secret ciud or looge were or
dered executed because It wa. ascer
tained that one of the responses to a
password was "Will yoo roll down the
stone?"
Despite the protestations of the club
member, that the words had no signifi
cance at all with respect to tbt sultan
or the sultan's trip along the road, they
were ordered to the scaffold. Tbey
numbered 118 In all and died bravely,
assuring their executioner to the Tery
last that tbey were Innocent Later a

rock wa. merely an accident wat alto

GRASS LINED BOOTS.
They Are Worn by the Nomadio Lappa,
Who Never Get Cold Feet
While civilized mnn suffers Intensely
from cold feet every winter, the Lap
lander, living in the far norm or tn
mi, baa no such trouble. A traveler
writes: "Their boots are made of reln-
l.-.r .kin and are worn very large, and
tbe toes are pointed and curve upward
so as to be easily slipped into ineirra.
The Lapp usually fllla his boot half
full with t peculiar green grass. Into
which be thrusts hit naaea reec tie
theu packt the boota full with more
grass, tucks the ends of his trousers
Inside tnd binds them tightly round
with many turns of a brightly woven
braid. With, these precaution they
never uffer from cold feet and chil
blains, corn or uch like civilized com
plaints are an unknown horror to
them."
Concerning other customs the tame
writer says: The Lappt ire essen
tially nomadic race and tpend most
of their live wtnderlng fancy free

of tl"ii tmrthpni homo, flown, at

and tbey turn their herds and start

Twice a year tbey hold these general
gatherings at Easter and midsummer
-when they congregate and hold a
general fair. It 1 on these occasions
that tbey celebrate their wedding and
funerals. The revelries last only about
ten day, but many marriage take
place between couples who perhaps
have never met previously.
"As oon as a Lapp can afford to buy
