"It is only a hope, but a hope ' well founded," said Dr. Policarpo Bonilla, President of Honduras from 1S94 to 1890, who has left NewYork for his own country, "that ' when we celebrate the centenary of the independence of Central America on Septmher 15 we may celebrate also the formation of a new republic of CcMitia! America "Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador are already members of the federation. Costa Rica joined them in siffiwng the pact last Jan_ uary, and two-thirds of the Costa ? Rica and Nicaragua supports it, but the tendency of the conservative political parties in power is still to hold aloof. Until a little while ago, Nicarntnin. ton. foil hound nnt to min because of the Bryan-Chamorro treaty obligations to the United States, hut at a luncheon Riven it; honor of the minister of foreign relations of Nicaragua, early in June, Secretary Hughes declared that this country would look with nothing hut approval upon a Central American Federation." So a new nation, or one new to our time, counting f?,500,000 people, may soon he marked upon the map of the American continent, says a writer in the New York Evening Post. Central America, then, will no longer be a grouji of small republics, weakened by jealousies, dissensions, and unstable governments, but a country under firm centralized control, able to dispense] with the police aid of our marines, and boasting rich and undeveloped lands and numerous fine seaports. It will possess two interocean railroads. El Salvador has prosperous iron mines, and it was only in May that the discovery of oil and of natural gas in Costa Rica was recorded. CofTee and banana plantations are vast and profitable. Hondtira'u Rich Forests. "It is indeed the Rich Coast," said Dr. Bonilla. "There is hardly a kind of fruit that you can't raise in Central America. The forests of my own country, especially, arc full of precious woods?mahogany, cedar and such pines as you never saw! "But. we do not wish to be simph one of the major sources of the world's supjrty of food lumi?er, and minerals. We intend to have oui share in its enlightenment as well Our universities have made good pro gre^s in educating the |?r?at populo _=_^L?

I Strangely enough, the natives along the coast are less civilized than those in the interior, where perfect Span-i ish is spoken, instead of dialects and where some of the old pre-Conquest culture is preserved. I find that most people in the United States suppose that the 'Mosquito Coast,' which has figured in so many of our interrepublic disagreements, is named from the number of mosquitoes that reside there. The mosquito is the product of a mixture of negro and Indian blood. He is much darker skinned than the negro, and he got his nick-name in Spanish times. It is a sort of contemptous diminutive for mozo, the Spanish word for 'fellow.'" Industries, Not Armies. The constitution of the nation whose birth Dr. Bonilla hopes to proclaim on September 15 is admirable, guaranteeing, as far as a document can, freedom and protection for all citizens. Says one of the clauses under Article V: "The Federation guarantees to every inhabitant freedom of thought and conscience * * * It cannot enact laws concerning religious matters." It will recognize the principle of tho inviolability of human life for political offenses. It makes most explicit a determination to insure fredom of suffrage. And more advanced still: "The states recognize, as a necessity and a benefit, that the Federation may reduce urmaments I and armies to the needful in order to provide the means for agriculture and the industries?to promote thr common progress by spending with benefit the sums before spent foi armies." The constitutional assembly of th< three signatory republics will open or July 20 in Tegucigalpa, capital 01 Honduras, to which city Dr. Bonilh is going direct. Each country ha: sent fifteen representatives, and Di Hon ilia is one of the representative of Honduras. He has boon in Wash ington as emba.iador extraordiivari* and minister plenipotentiary on ; special diplomatic mission for hi country, arriving from Paris, wher , he attended the Versailles conferenc as the representative of Honduras ' He has lived for six years, altogethei > in the Uniter!

TELLS HOW HE LIVED CENTURA Los Angeles Physician Ascribes Long Life to Not Eating Meat Dr. James Martin Peebles, physi cian and author, who not long ag 'celebrated his 99th birthday anni ' ! trufuarv and who wrote a book o: ' "How to Live a Century and Gro> ' Old Gracefully," ascribes his Ion life in large measure to abstinenc from eating animal flesh, says Los Angeies dispatch. Dr. i'eeble ' slopped e^tii.<< meat when he was 3 years old. He wrote his book on th I rules of living when he was 62. Asked what he considered th greatest contributory cause to hi long life he instantly replied; "One cannot strenghten life by In s ing on death. I cannot bear the ide of eating dead cows and dead hog! and it is not necessary. See ho strong are horses and oxen; they c not live on dead flesh." Other rul< ;t he made for himself and which 1 II said he believed had helped him 1 reach his advanced years included: "Go to bed every night at 8:3 c Out of bed every morning at (?. Ne' er use tobacco. Never complain. "Avoid all worry and keep an ha monius mind. Worry i^ among tl worst things in the world. Have strong will-power. Always look f< the new. Keep calm."

I This will be on the progress of Christianity as it is preached, showI ing how preachers are leaving hell fire, brimstone, purgatory and many - other old-time dogmas behind. "What a variety of mighty changes since my birth!" he exclaimed. "Napoleon then had just died on the is- " land of St. Helena; old 'Hickory Jack' son,' as he was then called, had just v, > been elected President of the United < States; Ohio was then a budding state ' and the great wide west was dotted / with Indian wigwams.
