BREAk/cANAL RECORD.
Northern Pacific Engineers Move More Material Than Workers on Isthmus.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
 Much has been said recently as to what is being done by the government on the sthmus of Panama in the construction of the canal and in an article which ap- peared short while ago in the Literary Digest under the caption, "Outdong I1X- pectations at Panama" the writer ferred, with a good deal of proper pride, to the fact that 1,S6S,7 ,729 cubic yards of material had been moved during the month of October. This was, without doubt, credit to American engineering ability and methods, and while the writer of the article looked upon 1t represent ing stupendous task and an unusual amount of excavation, it is not so if one stops to measure the feat by similar feals performed on some American railways in these days of grade revision and general reconstr Jotion.
 The reader need not go far from home to learn that during exactly the same pe- rlod the Northern Pacific railway moved 3,432,92S cubic yards of materal-almost double that moved by the Panama canal engineers-in new work now under way on that great system.
 While this work was going on the usual heavy freight and passenger traffic was moved without any serious inconvenience from this cause. The figures afford an extremely interesting comparison and show at single glance the tremendous volume of work being done by the North ern Pacific in improving it's facilities to meet the new conditions.
 This work Is not confined to any one state, but includes the entire Northern Pacific country in the states of Wiscon- sin Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana Idaho, Washington and Oregon-from the great lakes to Puget sound and the Pa ei1c ocean-and includes double tracking, reconstruction of single track to conform to new and easier grades and ourvatures. replacing old bridges with new and more substantial ones of steel and concrete, en- larsing yards, new terminal facilities, etc.
 Another item of interest is the fact that the Northern Pacific railway is carrying over portions of it's single track main line as heavy a freight tonnage as is handled by many of the railways east of Chicago over their double track lines.

Condor lndiulduaIitu.

From William l.. Finley's "Home Life
 of the California Condor" in the Jan
 uary Century.
 We had the best chance of studying the colors of the condor head. The bill was horn color, and the red skin of the head extended down, covering it about halfway The legs were tan, but on each knee was q patch of red On the breast of each bird the skin was blood-red and could be seen occa son- ally when the breast feathers were spread and the birds were preening Both had light-eolored wing bars, and the primaries were well worn. The skin on the throat hung loose and the lower mandible fitted close under the upper. The chin was orange red, and below this on the neck was q strip of greenish-yellow, merging into the or ange about the sides and back of fiie neck. The top and front of the head were red, but between the eyes was q small patch of black feath CTS, and these extended down in front of the eye into the orange-red of the cheek. The pupil of the eye was black, but the iris was deep and red and conspicuous. Tn e bald and wrinkled pate, the fiabDy jowls, with the eaved-in expression Of a toothIess old woman--these helped to make up the condor individuality.

 Decree Governing Same.
 Cost of Construction.
THE MAXIMUM TARIFFS

Washington, December 25.-(Special.)- . Consul General Robert D. Skinner of Marseille replying to inquiries from the United States concerning railroad freight rates in France, writes:
 Railroads in France are not owned by stock companies, although private cor porations, whose shares are bought and sold freely, build and manage them. The French railroad is the creature of the state, and is brought into being by vir- tue of a concession. The grantee is not the veritable owner of the ground upon which the railroad is built. All that a railroad possesses in France Is right to levy taxes for certain services and to build and maintain the mechanism by which these services are performed, all in accordance with it's concession or con tract. The companies are subject to reg ulation, which begins with their contracts and which is intended to prevent them from abusing the situation which inevit- ably exists.
 The basic principle upon which the rate tax is established is difficult of definition. It is certainly not fixed by ascertaining the cost of the services, and the public would be equally loath to admit that it is obtained by taxing the commodity as much as it will stand. The government control is absolute. No tax, of what ever nature, may be collected by com pany except by virtue of the approval of the minister of public works. The railroad companies, after the public has been informed of the demanded changes. submit their projects to the minister, who approves of them in the interest of the public, if such projects are within the maximum limits authorized in the original concession, or, in his discretion, rejects them altogether.
 In the course of years special and diff ferential tariffs have been established, and they have obtained the ministerial sanction, yet the words which in the railway vocabulary represent the differ ent categories of reduced tariffs appear Tn no organic French act Even the prin- ciple of reduction under the maximum rates established in the original conces- sion is vaguely set forth. French legis- lation recognizes three classes of tariffs maximum, general and special. The maximum tariff is one that a conces- sionaire is authorized to collect, and Tn

DELIccAcIES IN GERMANY. Increased Consumption of Special Food
 Articles in the Empire.

Washington, December 25.-(Special)- Consul H. w Harris of Nuremberg, in calling attention to the marked increase in the use in Germany of imported table delicacies says that it is a subject of frequent comment among tourists and others. He continues
 The menus of the better hotels and restaurants as well as the store windows of dealers show an increasing variety of canned goods, bottled goods. imported liquors. tropical fruits, etc. The demand for olives, small pickles, hot sauces, mus tards, etc, remains small as compared with that in the United States, but of these also there is an increased consump- tion in Germany the demand being in part supplied by domestic preparations and partly by other countries.

Washington, December 25.-(Special.)- In replying to inquiries Consul James S.

The largest deposit is in Trinity Bay, and the product has been pronounced equal to the best Welsh slate. The colors are unfading purple and green. The other deposit is in the Bay of Islands

Government Supervision.

The authority which the Meth 4rlands government exercises over private rail- roads, especially so far as the rates are concerned, Is shown by the following re- sume of the royal decree governing the same:
 The tariffs for the transportation of passengers and freight require the ap- prova1 of the minister of commerce and industry Before the tariffs are allowed to be in operation the same must be published, together with the approval, and must be obtainable at a price fixed for each tariff. The required publication must be made in the manner to be pre- scribed by the minister of commerce and industry.
 At any time we can order the freight tariffs to be reduced When, in conse- quence thereof, the net earnings of the railroad companies decrease, they are in demnified from the government treasury. In such a case the amount of indemnifi- cation is fixed by the court of justice whenever the matter cannot be arranged by mutual agreement Under no circum- stances is this indemnity fixed at a higher sum than is required for the net earn ings to amount to per cent of the com panys capital during the year or years that such reduction is by us prescribed
 Any changes in the tariffs are to be published at least one month before the same may be applied. A shorter period of time may be allowed with the approval of the minister of commerce and indus try.
 The cost of construction and mainten- ance of railways in the Netherlands is vastly higher than in other countries, for the reason that the greater part of the country is below sea level and the ground basis consequently not solid; tl.us a great deal of work and large amount of money is required for the construction of the roadbed.
