THE PANAMA CANAL.

more and more to the magnitude OF the
work. The feature of the accomplish :

is the fact that it is being done by the

picion of waste or graft
It's Importance to humanity and buss-
ness is thus commented upon by the
New York World:

WAGES IN UNPROTECTED IN
DUSTRIES.

How much better American work
men fare than the English toilers IS
set forth in a recently published bull
letin of the bureau of labor of the
r-ni+ed states DEPARTMENT of commerce
and labor.
II is demonstrated that the ratio OF
the weekly wages Of certain occupa-
tons in the United States and in Eng
land and Wales, respectively. at the
dates of the two inquiries is 243- TO
100 in the building trades. 213 to 100
in the engineering trades, 246 to leo
in the printing trades and 2S2 to 100

groups.

from s2342 to s26.T7 week. Eng
lish carpenters get from $3.50 to $500
a week while the American carpen-

weekly wage of English and Welsh
smiths is from $40 TO ss.76. while
their fellow craftsmen on this side OF
the Atlantic get from s16.47 to $2o.7O-
The level of wages was found to be
the same in England and Wales in the
building trades in 1909, while the rate
was raised IL per cent in the build
ing industry and 21z per cent in the
printing trades. The effect of these
changes would be to lower the COM
bined ratios so as to give $50 to 100

and English workmen.

proving that this difference IN wages
is due to the tariff

Perfnmea Gnine -

Practically all the ingredients from
which perfumes are manufactured
have recently increased in price to an
almost unprecedented extent
Altar of roses. which forms the ba-
sis Of dozens of different kinds of per
fumes, is double the price at which it
could be bought last year. and even
then it was unusually high. At the
present time, the wholesale value Of
altar of roses is equivalent to approx
imately 1 1-2d per drop.
One of the results of the increase in
cost is that the producers in Bulgaria
where this precious essence comes
from, are resorting to adulterants in
order to exc out the small supply. and
another result is that an Increased
trade is being done in synthetic es-
sences, many of which are of German
origin.
Oil of lavender, both that produced
at Mitcham and in the south of
France, is also dearer; English grow
ers find it more profitable to send
the lavender to market in the form of
punches, with the result that an in
sufficient quantity is left for distilla-
ton.
Essence of lemon, which is largely
used as an ingredient of cheap eau
de cologne" has advanced in price
considerably, as also have the oils of
orange and bergamot. both of which
are contained in many perfumes.
AS a, result of the increased cost of
maize, it costs more to produce alco-
hol, which is used as a solvent by all
makers of perfume Chron-
