Mechanical Mathematics.

Lots OF brain flag is being saved all
over this broad and progressive land
of ours through the Introduction of
mechahicai devices that add, multiply,
subtract and do other mathematical
stunts. Already the census depart
ment at Washington is busy making
prenarations for the next census which
Will come in 1910. The last session of
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
perfection ard Introduction of machines
suitable for the automatic tabulating
of census returns. and it is now well
assured that machinery will play a
very important part in the work of
taking The next census. The experts
of the department, it is said, have al
ready succeeded in devising a tabulat-
ing apparatus along new and novel
lines which is a marvel of accuracy
and Of rapid manipulation of the
punched cards. Not only will this
mechanical device save lots of human
labor, tut it will. at the same time. in
sure speed and accuracy which
would be impossible under the methods

The Proposed Cape Cod Ship Canal.

New England shipping interests are
s,rorpIv concerned in the project 10
construct a ship canal across Nape
Cod. The charter for this lmportah'
,roiect is now in the control OIL
August Belmont & CO., OF New "ih'
and their associates. and ample caPi'"'
is available for the work.
Az now planned this canal VIII eN-
tend from BuZzard's Bay on the
Atlantic side of the Cape to Sandwich
on the Massa chusctts Bay side.
Surveys have already been MADE
and the work of construction VIII pi"-
baby he commenced in the carry
snrine. William Barkley Parsons VIII
be the engineer in charge" Inc 'a'i''
when completed will be - feet deep at
low water and 50 feet deep at h'si'
water. 1t will be of the ea-levtl type
and will contain no locks. Inc sur
face width will be from $50 t" 800 feet.
and the Canal will be big enough 10
permit the passage of vessels as large
as the Yale and the Harvard. 1t is
understood that this canal when COM
plctcd will be used by the turbine
steamers which Charles w. Morse IS
having built to run between Boston
and new York The importance of this
proposed canal will appear when we
consider il will save about IL hours
in time and that it will relieve ships
of the hazards of the Atlantic shore off
Cane Cod, which is one of the most
dangerous stretches on the whole
coast. Here many fine ships have
been wrecked Doubtless vessels us
ing the canal will be able in large part
to meet its charges by the lower rates
marine insurance.
Under the terms of the charter
granted for this canal the state Of
Massachusetts expressly reserves the
right to take over the whole property
at the end of ten years by paying for
1t the actual cost of construction plus
10 per cent allowance to the COM
pany for profit. Furthermore the state
reserves the right to limit the net pro-
fit of the company to 10 per cent a
year thus assuring just and reasonable
tolls. The total length of the canal
will be about eight miles.

The Defence Of the Northwestern Rail
roads.

The railroad authorities in North
Dakota and other sections of the
Northwest suffering from the present
coal famine in that section have many
thinrs to offer in their own defense.
They claim that consumers were large
" TO blame for present conditions, by
their failure to place their orders
earlier. They assert also an inability
10 secure the labor necessary to prop
erly handle the very large increase OF
fright that has been forced upon them.
Furthermore, they assert their utter
inability to secure the extra cars
necessary for their freight traffic with
in reasonable period.
All these things may, and doubtless
do. contain some elements of truth. 1t
is possible that consumers were too
busy scratching for the money to pay
the iceman last summer to give proper
thought to the coming demands of the
coal man. : And unquestionably the
l..b"r supply in the Northwest is ex-
crcdingiy short. and capable men very
difficult to procure. AT the same time
the fact remains that these railroads
have raid dividends to their stock
holders al the expense Of the operating
equipment that was absolutely noes

boys apprehension. The slave was
found in james ScOan. Jr.'s barn, the
Knox barn. and delivered to his master,
who took him to his boat at the shore
village and sailed that night for
Savannah. Here the matter should
have rested. The captain and mate
were certainly not to blame for the
slaves attempt to escape; rather the
owner himself was to blame. He
should have taken better care of his
goods and chattels, especially such rs

But Sagurs made the governor of
Georgia believe that the captain and
mate had stolen his slave, and the
governor demanded them to be de-
liVered to him as "fugitives from
Justice" The correspondence between
the states executives is interesting.
