fun of hustling activity and today
the pleasant rendezvous of an ever
increasing number of American and
other tourists. This transformation
has cost millions, but they have been
we'll spent and the uninterrupted an@
successful digging of the canal ever
since has been rendered possible
thereby.
Throughout the who:e Iength of the
canal clean comfortable houses have
been built for the married employees
and their families. Eighteen big no.
els we're also erected for the bachel-
ors, besides numerous barracks,
messes and kitchens for the laborers.
In these buildings there are under the
commission care not fewer than g.
900 people.
The white canal and railroad en-
ployees are furnished with free house,
electric light, coal and water, and all
laborers and employees have commits
sary rights which enable them to pur-
chase in the government stores at
practically cost prices, clothes, food
and other necessities which permits
them to live well and inexpensively
| md save a considerable part of their
salaries.
The public schools of the zone are
very good. The teachers are Amer
can and native The gardens estab-
ished in many of them have been such
success that the Panama govern
ment is adopting the same method in
it's provincial schools.
Under the management of the Y. NJ.
.C. A. there are club houses in the
principal zone towns wherein en-
loyeos, after a hard days toll, may go
in reading and billiard rooms, tennis
courts, bowling alleys or gymnasiums.
The erection and maintenance OF
these clubs have added much to the
welfare of the men, and in the lonS
run have been an excellent invest
ment.
This regard for the social welfare
of the canal workers has had it's effect
on the work itself for the workers
seem taking a personal interest in fur
filling Colonel Cocktails prediction
that the great waterway will be
finished ahead of time.
What ultimate economic effect the
completion of the canal will have on
the republic of panama is discussed
here from different standpoints. and
it is generally believed that greater
prosperity Is In store for the Repub-
lie If Developments. along the line Of
agriculture. mining and manufactures
are seriousIy studied.

ultimately excavated. The engineers,
however, in charge of the work are
confident that these difficulties are by
no means insuperable and will, in no
way, retard the date set for opening
the canal.
Even before disembraking, the
stranger to the isthmus on arriving
at Colon, the Atlantic terminus of the
canal, will be struck by the unusual
activity visible in every direction in
the harbor. His attention will first
be directed to the long trestle already
stretching Stewards for over one and
a half miles in a northeast direction
from Toro Lighthouse Point across
the harbor. All along this trestle rock
and stones are being dumped to form
a breakwater whose ultimate length
from shore will be about two miles.
The estimated cost of this breakwater
is five and a half million dollars. 1t
lis being built to reduce to minimum
the ssilt that may be washed into
the channel OF the canal, and also to
protect the inner basin of the harbor
-hich leads to the entrance of the
Icanal, from the northerly gales which
usually obtain here from October tC
January and which not infrequent!y
do much damage to the shipping and
coastline.
The eye following the coastlin"
ill soon be attracted toward the mas
sive piers, which, begun about three
months ago and to cost ultimately
several million dollars, already stretch
out for nearly half mile into the
harbor from Cristobal Point.
These piers will be roomy enough

Simultaneously. Powerful tugs, each
towing large barges laden with sand
and rock for the locks from Porto

along the. eastern coast and now =
fairly large American settlement
may possibly be in sight on their way
through the canal to Gatun, seven
miles distant from Colon. If the
above bespeaks activity around Col
IN harbor, the activity will be seen to
be greater when Gatun Is reached. IL
is here the canal ceases to be Sc"
level and reaches the three giant
locks which will lift all ships eighty
five feet and enable them to.pass into
the Gatun lake, artifcally formed by
a monster dam which impounds the
waters of the River Chagres and its
tributaries.

slopes or digging deep down into the
earth with regularity that suggests
the swing Of a pendulum or the beat
Of pulse. Large buckets filed with
oncrete are passing noiselessly over
head along the steel cables and depos-
ting their contents at the desired
spot. The whole scene is one well
calculated to inspire admiration for
ahe manner in which the work is be-
ing performed.
What applies to Gatun applies also
the other various sections along the
anal, all tending to convince the OBJ
server that the possibility of opening
the canal before the date officially
fixed is no empty boast.

he Canal Commission has accom-
plished in cleansing the canal zone of

FIRST PURE FOOD LABELS.
Found in Ruins of King Ahab's Pal
ace and Are 1000 Years Old.

From The Bakers Weekly.
The first pure food labels in history and
the first instance record OF Keeping
wines in government warehouse under
seal have come TO Light, With the discov-
cry by Prof. George a. Reisner of Har-
ward of the earliest specimens OF He
brew writings in the excavations OF the
ancient city of Samaria III Pa!est ne. Dat
ing back to the period of King .Ahab,
fully 900 b. C., these inscriptions are TO
of the Harvard Palestine expedition.
The Importance of these new inscrip-
tons to the PSYCHOLOGISTS is such that
tney promise TO bring about d revision OF
scientific opinion as to the form OF early
Hebrew writings. and will set at rest
doubts that have been raised for score
of years as to how early the scribes used
the Phoenec.an letters from which the
alphabe was derived
Prof. David g. Lyon, head of the Har-
ward Semitic museum, prOnOunceS these
inscriptions to be the earliest specimens
of Hebrew writings known and the first
Palestine records of this nature to be
found.
ed are labels which were employed as
seals on wine and oil jars. They mention
the years in which the wine was laid
down in the cellars of the palace store
which the wine came. On the oil jars
the labels run: "a Jar of Pure OIL with
the mention of the district from which
the oil came.
These labels about seventy-five in num-
Der. have been dug up on the ruins of
the storehouse attached to the palace of
King Ahab some 5000 years ago, and the
names of the owners as given indica tie
that not only the king himself, but other
men stored their wines and oils there
Prof Lyons says: THE script in which
they are written is the Phoenician, which
was widely current In antiquity. 1t is
very different from the so-called square
characters in which the existing Hebrew
manuscripts of the Bible are written,
dating far ahead of that time. The in
scriptions are written in ink with a reed
pen in an easy flowing hand and show a
pleasing contrast to the stiff form of
Phoencian inscriptions cut in stone.

NEW ENGINE Of WAR
FOUND IN AER0PLANE
French Maneuvers Brought
Out Features Unthought of
in Times Past.

Special Cablecram to The Star.
PARIS. October THE absolute tri-
umph of the aeroDane has been the out
standing feature Of the great French ma
neuvers just ended. The airmen have
b1 ought about "a new art of war;, in
the words of q DISTINGUISHED officer. and
have done all that has been asked of
them and more.
Gen. Chomer who directed the whole
maneuvers, declares that the aeroplane is
the most marvellous engine of war We
have ever had" Gen. Bonneau said yes
terday OF one phase of the maneuvers: l
learned from the four airmen at my dis
posal the position of the enemyS bat
teries in the most exact detail. Most of
them were carefully hidden in valley
behind a wood, and no cavalry in the
world could have found them. The aero
planes discovered them in a few min
uteS.
Col. Bernard, a very well known ar
tillery officer, says: 1.-TWO batteries and
an aeroplane are five times more for
midable than three batteries without an
aeroplane.
Again and again during the maneuvers
the whole disposition of the enemy'S
troops have been reported to the COM
mander of either side by the airmen.
This has changed the whole character of
the maneuvers. Never before have the
commanders of opposing forces been able
to learn each others precise dispositions.
Photographs of fortress defenSes have
been taken by aerial observers with spe-
cial cameras and have revealed the most
jealousy guarded secrets of defense.

worthy that certain proportion OF the
accessions to the general library has been
made by international exchange.
The principal purchases in the depart
ment of printed books have been incuna-
bula. many as fifty-nine books printed
in the fifteenth century having been add
ed: they include a copy of the valua bic
Zinna PsaIter. printed at the expense
of the Emperors Frederick III and Maxi
MILAN /. in 1895. A notable addition
among later books is the only work OF
Milton which was not in the library. The
copy of the Catalogue Of Paintings and
Drawings in Buckingham Palace that
has been presented by the lord chamber
lain would have been a more suitable
and useful accession to the National Art
Library at South Kensington, which does
not meet with the patronage and public
support that it deserves.
