What Will 1t Cost?

Who can tell what tho Panama
canal will cost before it is completed?
In 1902, we were told the canal was
to cost $144,000,000, inclusive of police
and sanitation. In 1906 it was to cost
S139, 1893, 999, exclusive of police ana
sanitation, which will swell the total
some seventy-fve millions before the
end. Now Colonel GoethaPs latest re-
port, for the fiscal year ending last
June, forecasts total expenditure OF
$315,000,000. AS the canal will not
be completed before 1915, if then, and
the cost estimate shows tendency
to increase at the rate of about
5000, 100000 every two years, the final
cost may easily reach the billion dol
lar mark The New York Evening
Post says that the increase is ex
planned as due In the first place, to
an addition of so per cent to the
amount of work necessary to be done,
and Of 20 per cent to the cost of labor
due to the enhanced cost of living,
the difficulty of attracting labor from
the United States, and the introduce
ton of the eight-hour day." If only
one were sure that labor got the
money, one might the more compla-

SIX NEW ELEMENTS FOUND.

London Cor. New York Sun.-Six
new elements have been discovered,
SO Prof Muthmann OF Munich an
nounced the other day at the Con-
gress of German Chemists, by the
Viennese doctor, Auer Won Welsbach.
The news came by letter from the
inventor himself while the professor
was reading his paper on Rare
EarthS."
1t was to the effect that DIR. Won
Welsbach had succeeded in separat-
ing terblum and thulium, previously
believed to be elements, into two
constituents each, and dysprosium
and gadolinum, two other rare eie-
mentary substances, into three each
The number of elementary rare
earths has thus been increased from
16 to %.
1t may be recalled that last year
DIR. Won Welsbach simultaneously
with the French scientist Urban
discovered that ytterbium, for &c
years believed to be an element, was
divisible. Since 1873 THE Viennese
savant has added 10 elements tc
those known to science, a record fol
any single inventor, and an achieve
ment on which the congress Sent
him a telegram of congratulation.

per cent of all income. The cores
ponding figures of the New York
Central were 1851 per cent and a
little less than SO per cent. The Lack
aWanna, the richest road Of its size IN
the country, paid for operation 81 per
operation earnings. To take an ex-
ample geographically far removed, the
Great Northern Railway, built up most
economically by the genius and energy
of J. ]. Hill and fortunate in nom
competitive territory, paid in 1908
6643 per cent for operation.
True, last year was not favorable
one. The New York Central's Oper-
ating expense in 1905 was nearly four
points lower than in 1908, but the
average operation cost of all Amerl-
can railroads for a term of years IS
well above two-thirds.
What does the Interborough do with
all it's money? That part which IT
pays to the city on subway bonds is
relatively small. No railroad in the
country pays so low a rate of interest
On it's debentures, nor are there many
railroads whose interest payments are
so small in proportion to traffic In
come. Such roaGis as Great Northern,
which has no bonds, and LackaWanna,
which has relatively few ARE a
marked exception.
The Interborough pays a per cent
guaranteed dividend on the watered
stock of the elevated lines. 1t pays 3
per cent on it's own stock, whose vol
ume is triumph of corporate book

BUG H|NDRANCE
TO PLANT LIFE
WEEDS, TOO, SUFFER FROM LICE
THAT THRIVE IN DRY
WEATHER.

A secondary effect of the dry
weather is seenin the multiplicity
of the bugs that infest such crops as
escaped the drouth. All kinds OF
plant lice or aphidae abound, due
partly to the fact that the usual
storms have not destroyed them and
partly to show the growth the plants
are making. The bug pest, however, is
not an unmixed misfortune, for two
OF the plants botherd by the bugs are
the dandelion and the sour dock.
Many dandelions are being put en-
tirely out of business by a broWn1sh
aphiG or plant louise, while the dock
is noticeable for numbers OF black
insects it contains. Among cultiyat-
ed crops, beams, peas, lettuce and rad
ishes are loaded with the insects COM
monty known as the green bug or
green fly
In many places mosquitoes are not
as common as usual due to a lack OF
water in which to breed. But while
we avoid the mosquito, the weather
is just right for multiplying another
pest called the chigger Or red bug.
This is an insect much like the spider
in appearance, but so small that it
cam hardly be seen with the naked
eye 1t is the delight of this inter
esting insect to burrow under the
skin of human beings, where it causes
intense itching and considerable in
aammation. If you have been pic
nicking in dryish piece of land and
next day find parts of your body
broken out in the appearance of mos
quito bites, you may be sure it is the
chigger. 1t likes especially to turroW
in the flesh of the joints, in the arm
pits arid under the knees.
Much complaint is being heard
| from farmers about their clover hay
being covered with green lice in such
numbers that horses refuse to touch
| it until it has laid in the sun long
enough after cutting for them to die
The oldest inhabitants say they never
saw lice on hay before. They are on
everything else, too. Flowers of near
ly all kinds, golden glow, hollyhocks
poppies, dahlias and many different
kinds of weeds along the roadside are
| alive with black lice. Vines also suf

STILL ROOM FOR FARMERS.
Only Small Part of Tillable Regions
Really Under Cultivation.

lished a graphic exposition of the
proportion of the land of the United
States that is titled for the produc-
ton of various crops says the De-
troit News Tribune. Presumably it
is correct, but the published map IS
certainly an eye opener. Although
We have an area approximating
100000 square miles exclusive OF
Alaska, all our main crops are pro-
duced On 455,773 of them
Our national corn field measures
in the aggregate 100000 square miles,
equivalent to- tine State of Montana
and one-third of North Dakota, We
could put all our plasted area OF
cotton in the State of Iowa and still
have room for all the tobacco fields.
All the hay fields. as we'll as all the
rye and buckwheat areas, would go
inside the State of South Dakota.
Our winter wheat fields would oc-
cupy only two-thirds of North Da-
kota, and all our spring wheat but
one-third of the State of Minnesota.
Oats would fill up the remainder OF
that state. All the barley, flax and
potato fields would cover scant
third of wisconsin, and the remain
der of that State and the upper Pc
ninsula of Michigan would furnish
area for all the other crops produced
in the country.
Argentina looms up as a rather
formidable competitor in the produc-
tion of cereals, but that is because
the area of planting is relatively so
much greater in proportion to popu-
lation. All the wheat, corn, oats and
fax grown in Argentina are produced
from an area equivalent to the State
of Louisiana. While it is true that
all our area Is not available for
cropping and some of our crops are
quite limited as to their area of pro-
fitable production, it is evident that
the greater part of the tillable land
Is not titled at all, and that much
that is under cultivation is unskil
fully titled. Since consumption in
creases faster than production, 1t is
evident that we must have a grad
1 ual division of existing farms.
The farmer may try for time to
hold fast to his hard earned and
sometimes ancestral acres, but If the
steady gravitation of population to
the cities continues and leaves each
farmer dependent upon his own eff
forts, there will be a gradual realiza-
! ton that it does not pay to hold
and pay taxes on idle acres. If the
acres that cannot be titled cannot
be devoted to grazing or to forest
or fruit planting, ultimately they
must pass into hands that are able
| to employ them in intensive farm
ing. When this realization comes
about it is probable that more boys
| will be willing to stay on the farm
| and that immigrants of the agricul-
tural class, instead Of avoiding en-
ployment on the farms, will seek
| ownership of small plantations where
they and their children may estab-
| lish independent homes
