In 1899 the mineral production of
the United States amounted to $780,
ooo,ooo and IN 1893 to se7s,ooo, 900.
The miners of the Yukon district,
Alaska. employ $3.50 men, who re-
ceive an average OF 81 an hour, 4.
A company has been formed in New
York to work the sulphur mines In
the Taceorah mountains, a distance
OF 10 miles from the seaport of africa
Chill. Coal waste In this country has
been sp0rrseus in the past. Tho vast
culm heaps for years Plling up at the
mouth Of every coal mine represent
ed waste Of natural material amount
ing to millions of dollars. It is only
comparatively recently that this
culm waste has been utilized for Pre-

Mo-, a few years ago bet a two
months-old calf against a colt owned
by Smith, Baptist, of the same town.
that the prophet Jonah was a Meth
odist. The bet was finally decided in
favor of Smith, on the ground that
Jonah was immersed. The same two
men made another curious wager be-
fore the election. If Dockery received
majority of $4,000 or less Smith
agreed to become a member OF the
Methodist church for one year; If
Dockery's majority ran anywhere
from $4,000 to 10000, Jones was to be-
come Baptist for one year. If the
majority was over 10000 ali bets were
to be off. In the contract they agreed
not only to attend the other church
In case the bet was lost, but to 90

Baptist. TO be immersed, and Smith
agreed to be sprinkled when the bap-
tlsmal rite was performed.

ELECTRICAL.

Electric fans now take the place in
Calcutta of punkhas that were pulled
by coolies.
All electrical machinery is now en-
tered duty free in India, but there is
a duty of five per cent. ad valorem on
electrical goods.
The longest electric railway in the
world is to be built in Montana. It is
TO connect Billings and Great Falls,
which are 200 miles apart.
The penny-in-th e-slot system of dis
tributing gas in the poorer districts of
London has proved so successful that
attempts are now being made to ap-
ply electric light in the same way.
Heavy cars, each holding 60 passen-
gers, travelled easily 81 miles in one
hour over the Albany and Hudson cleo
trio railway, at the formal opening
recently. The road is interesting In
that it is the longest "third rail- road

INDUSTRIAL,

The Hawaiian Planters association
has offered $4,000 in prizes to invent
ors OF labor saving machines to be
used in the sugar business.
There is one large factory in Chi
cago which has been successfully
manufacturing the American coal
briquettes for several months, and
with daily output of 200 tons, or
about 10000 tons a year.
1t costs more to build fast ships
than slow ones; it costs mere to main
tain them; they wear out very much
faster than the freighters, and their
earning capacity Is not so large in
comparison with the amount OF money
invested.
There has been such tremendous
decrease in Alaska's output of furs
that decided stimulus is felt in the
business of fox farming in the south
eastern part of the territory. Numer-
Gus such enterprises are being organ
lied, and a skunk farm is also being
established.

BREVITIES.

Switzerland cultivates $4,000, 900
fruit trees.
California Strawberries now in the
New York market sell at 81 pint.
Commercial estimates of the 1900
wheat crop of Siberia place it at 49,
ooo.ooC bushels.
There are now about $500, 900 farms
in the United States, and coo, 900 fac
tories.
Illinois beet sugar output last year
was valued at S25o,oOo About 5000
acres wero cultivated.
A twentieth of scotland's area Il
forest land, seven-tenths is mountain,
heath and lake, and only one-quarter
cultivated land.
A shipment Of 100000 young peach
trees from Georgia nurseries, bound
for Cape Colony and Natal, South At

Thesversge yield in France per acre
fer barley was about 22H bushels in

Building Of an btbmian
Canal at PANAMA
The French Project in Which the Government Is
Offered Controlling Interest.

90 CLOSELY has the American pub
lie connected the Panama canal en-
terprise with the name of De Les
seps, and SO familiar are we with the
circumstances surrounding the failure
of that great engineer an6 the scandal
that followed him to his grave, that we
are prone to look upon any project con-
nected with the Panama venture as
Swindle. When De Lesseps began the
construction of the Panama canal we
dreamed of a grand reality; when he
failed we awoke to find our reality but
dream.
But in 1894 a new company took hold
/ of the work where the De Lesseps COM
pany dropped it. OF that new company
we have heard, or seemingly cared, but
little, until now they offer 70 our gov
eminent a controlling interest in their
project if we will finish it. The first
impression is that they have nothing
but a concession and a vast amount of
worn and antiquated machinery to dis
psse of, but that is wrong; they have
partially completed canal, canal
that is nearer completion than we prob
ably realize, and, while 1t may not be
good policy on the part Of our gov
eminent to buy, it would seem to be
poor policy on the part of the French
company to stop their work at the pres
ent time and lose the hundreds Of mil
| lions that have been invested so far.
The result may be two canals where
| we have SO long wished for one.

Tor feeding the canal is the problem
that has taxed the ingenuity of the en-
gineers, and yet, now that they have
solved the problem, it seems decidedly
simple.
The Charges river rises in a series of
deep ravines some miles to the north
east OF the route of the canal. 1t is
from these ravines that much of the
water comes which produces the floods.
To stop these floods the engineers have
damned the mouth of the ravines and
by this means have formed a lake ca
pablo of holding back the greater part
OF the water that would carry destruc-
tion with it if permitted to go unob-
structed and at the same time sup
ply feeder for the canal.
The Bohio lake shown in the man Is
another deep cut through which the
river flows and which will become a
part OF the canal as well as a stora ge
reservoir fer the water needed TO feed
1t. This is accomplished by dammino
the mouth of the cut and placing lock
at the lower end.
