It adjoins the Republic of Costa Rica on the west. Panama and Costa Rica have a long standing boundary dispute, and no one pretends to know* how it will finally be decided. The boundary shown on HARBOR A this map is that adopted by the best cartographers pending the decision of the dispute. Near the boundary on the Caribbean side is Boca del Toro, the fine iulet protected by islands. Tie eastern boundary is the Gulf of i Darien and the Airato River, which is ! navigable almost to its source, in north- j western Colombia. The river would j not be prominent in any hostilities I that Colombia might contemplate, be-1 cause muddy bars at its mouth pre-1 vent entrance to any but the smallest j vessels; and to take troops down the Atrato to Panama would involve the j crossing of almost impassabie moun-j tain ranges. !

The city of Panama owes all its celebrity to its vital position at the narrowest part of the Isthmus. It has flourished or declined according to the routes followed by international trade. The work 011 the De Lesseps canal gave it a period of great prosperity, but it has languished in recent years.

I'lider the old regime of Spain the only line of eommmrication between the two oceans,was one simple male path crossing the Isthmus from Panama to Porto Bollo on the Atlantic side. Porto Bollo Harbor is commodious and j deep, but the fortifications oi' the old seaport are now overgrown with forest j vegetation and the place has become an obscure hamlet occupied by a few hundred negroes who do a little trade with C'cdon.

This name, in late years, has been very little used. After Colon was burned in the revolution of 188o it was rebuilt on a larger plan and 011 better drained ground, but it is still a very unliealthful place. The late George S. Morrison, the civil engineer, in his address in December before the American Geographical Society. said that the death rate on the Isthmus could be greatly diminished. He attributed the unliealthful climate to the fact that no systematic sanitary work lias even been undertaken. There.is an abundance of excellent water in the mountain streams, but no village or city has a water supply. There is 110 sewarage system. The women wash soiled clothes in the streams and the people get their water from the same streams. Nearly every disease may be found there, and the filth of centuries is kept under some of the houses.?New York Sun.

Entomol- J agists are making experiments in va- | clous parts of the country, and at one station, where the trap has been used every night for five months, it* has been found that the most harmful insects avoid the light, as a rule. Of the buffalo tree hopper, the squashbug, the chinchbug and the bee moths, for example, very few specimens were caught; while, on the other hand, ichneumon flies, lacewings. ladybugs and other-insects useful to the farmer were caught in a great number. Another singular fact is that of the harmful insects lured into the traps a majority were males, whereas it is the females that do the most uamage. 0 COMMODORE NICHOLSON Of OUR NAVY - ?Recommend* Pe-mna?Other Pro- ?. mlnurt Men Testify. iCOW*G0Ofl?-^J-? 1 Jfidtohmfc Commodore Somerville Nicholson, of . :*s the United States Navy, in a letter via from 1837 R St., N.

King Carlos, who dreams of swal- V 7 lowing Spain and setting himself up . f as the Iberian emperor, has just been ' informed that his navy is unable to protect Portugese subjects in his own possessions. For some time a pirate ship, or slaver, has been stealing ablobodied Portugese citizens of the Azores, along the seaboard, and even ,;/ "'-4 in the interior,' armed parties Intaiing the country districts and carrying off any male person they could catch, provided the man looked healthy and capable of hard work. Three gunboats stationed- atH Fayat were sent to hunt for the slayer, which, however, made good her escape during the night. The slave ship carried the captured men to South American plantations, it is alleged, where they are kept as slaves ami treated like prisoners. Over a hundred men have been abducted, in this manner since spring and. the # Portugese navy is seemingly un- % able to catch up with the pirates. The Taste For Horseflesh.
