Chicago. Nov. 1S.--Forty thousand
dollars was the price fixed upon q
number of letters stolen from the cor
respondence of Armour Co. by
former employe of the big packing
firm, whose threat was that unless the
money was paid the letters would be
turned over to the government as evil

Engineers Report ON Panama Water
way FEoject-Cost Estimated
at $3.50, 600, 900.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The board Of
consulting engineers Ut the Isthmian
canal commission Saturday declared
itself by large majority in favor of
a sea level canal. The conclusion was
reached afte- long and careful study
Of the project. Since the beginning
of September the board had held meet
ings and in special subcommittee had
studied the plans for a sea level and
q lock canal with the greatest care.
A trip to the Isthmus was made to en-
able the members to form a better idea
of the physical didlculties which had
to be considered. The members of the
board are men of the greatest reputa.
ton in their line of work. France,
Germany and Holland had sent their
most eminent specialists at the re-
quest of the American government.
The cost of the sea level canal is es-
timaIed by the engineers at about
$3.50, 900, 900. Although this amount
seems much larger than the amount
necessary for the construction of the
lock canal, it is claimed by the advo-
Gates of the sea level plan to be in
reality only comparatively slightly
higher. 1t was pointed out in the
meetings of the board that a lock
canal would necessitate between $780,
100000 and $4O.0O0,00O as payment for
the private grounds and the lands be-
longing to the republic Of Panama
which would be inundated by the con-
sfrnctiOn NJ tho lnck svStem This item
in the view of the majority of the
board is entirely done away with by
the adcptiQn of the sea level canal.

utilizes electroplating for the deposit
o. extremely thin coatings of precious
metals is said to make possible the

Aluminium is being used in France to
make alloyL of brass for the construc-
ton of submarine boats. 1t has been
found that the admixture Of aluminium
produces extraordinary changes in the

mum makes it deep gold, and at point
where between five and ten per cent.
of aluminium is used it becomes rose
