Extended and improved Course of
 Summer Session Lectures.

The bulletin of the summer session at the University of California has just been issued, and will be sent to any address upon application to the Recorder of the Faculties, Berkeley, California. No formal examinations are required for entrance. Admission is granted to all persons of sufficient maturity and intelligence to profit by the exercises of the session. The tuition regardless of the number of courses taken is S15.
 Instruction will be given, not only by members of the regular university faculty, but also by a number of dis tinguished men of letters and of sci ence from Eastern universities.
 Among the new features which ap- pear upon the programme of the com ing session are courses in manual training, domestic science, agriculture for teachers in the public schools, and forestry
 In addition to the regular lectures of the summer session, arrangements have been made for number of ex- cursions. Dr. Robert G. Aitken, astron- -emer at the Lick Observatory, and lecturer in astronomy in the summer session, will conduct an excursion to Mt. Hamilton for his classes and other members of the session who wish to visit the observatory. The class in physical geography, under the direction of Dr. Harold w. Fairbanks will make the first part of it's trip along the track of the earthquake fault of April, 1906, and one day will be set aside for a general excursion, when all who desire may accompany the class At some time during the six weeks, Luther Burbank will receive members of the summer session at his home and gardens near Santa Rosa. It is also intended to arrange trip to Stanford University and an excursion by boat to points on San Francisco bay, including visit to the United States naval training station on Yerba Buena island, and touching at some of the military posts on the Golden Gate.
 A list of places offering board and room or room alone is kept on file in the office of the Recorder of the Facul- ties, and every possible assistance will be given to strangers in thCir search for suitable boarding places. inquiries should be addressed to the Recorder of the Faculties of the University of California.

his finger eventually on the greatest

generally believed that almost any ex-

reason alone.
AS TO the actual return upon the
hundreds OF millions OF dollars which
Gre being poured into the canal zone,
many have serious misgivin gs. The
government experts who have made
special study OF the situation believe
that the canal will pay handsomely
from the FIRST and that the profit will
" increase in years TO come. Such esti-
mates may be made with reasonable

canal Is OF great assistance in such
estimates, while the government re-
ports on trade among all the countries

is considerably higher than can be
charged at Panama
The charge for passing through the
Suez canal is 81 francs (sL7o), or
nearly twice the probable charge at
Panama. Incidentally, the traffic re-
ceipts of the Suez canal from 1870 TO
date amount to about $685.. 1000. 900, The
receipts for 1870 were only sse5,75o
as against s7.sss.21z in 1880. In 1890
the receipts had risen to $l2,927,912,
and by 1900 they had grown to s17,-
4s0. $50. A similar increase in the
traffic and the income at Panama
would obviously bring to the United
States a most gratifying return upon
its investment. Since 1900 the receipts
OF the Suez canal have increased at
the rate OF about 100000 a year.
From 1891 to 1901. Inclusive. the re-
ceipts were s174.7se.19e. In view of
these figures the estimate of $780,
