Moles and rats are the most Important species of the many samples, collected in one big packing case and five small ones, just re ceived by the Smithsonian Institute from ex-President Roosevelt Tha scien tists of the institute display comparative ly little Interest in the skulls of the big animals, proofs of ex-President Roose velt's heroism and marksmanship.

The earth I, folt itn tha Isthmus of Panama ilocday, xenewa interest la the Waiter Commission's report to President Roose velt in 1901. embracing a comprehensive discussion of the general question of earthquakes, volcanoes, etc., on the Isth mus of Panama, in which the commission said that it was evident that the entire Isthmus was a volcanic region, and that no portion of it was exempt from earth quakes. Summarizing the result of the investi gation, the committee states briefly "that the works of the canal will nearly all of them be under ground, even the dams are low. compared with the surface of the country, and with their broad and massive foundations, may be said to form part of the ground Itself, as they are intended to do. The locks will all be founded upon rock. It does not seem that works of this kind are in any seri ous danger of destruction by earthquakes In a country where lofty churches of masonry have escaped with a few minor Injuries." The ooinion also was expressed that such danger as existed from earthquakes was essentially the same for both the Nicaragua and Panama routes, and that in neither case was it sufficient to pre vent the construction of the canal. Twer.ty-eisht earthquakes have occurred on the isthmus. Twelve of these were re corded during the three years 1SS2. 1SS3 and 1884. The only one that could be called destructive was that of 1621. when nearly all the houses in Panama were destroyed. JUSTICE H1 MEMBER OF SUPREME BEXCH BECOMES HELPLESS.
