VAST WORK IN DITCH LOCKING
Yet One Man at a Switchboard In Pan
anna Can Sail Ship Through
Canal.

Washington, D. C.-To pass a big
ship through each lockage of the Pan
ANA canal no less than .ninety-eight
electric motors will have to be set in
motion twice and this number may
be increased to 143, dependent upon
the previous condition of the gates,
valves and other devices that make up
the complex locking system of the
great waterway. In passing a ship
through the locks 1t will be necessary
to open and close inter gates weigh
ing from 800 to 500 tons, fill and
empty lock chambers containing from
100000 to 100000 cubic feet of wa
ter and lower fender chains weighing
24,09S pounds each and to tow the YES
sells through the locks. Yet so admir-
ably has this tremendous task been
systematized by the designing engin-
GERS that, according to Canal Record,
all of these operations, except that of
towing, will be controlled by single
man at a switchboard.

with large red marks about an inch
or two apart. My face was also af-
fected. ! went to see doctor. He
told me that l must have eaten some
thing poisonous, and l had the hives.
He prescribed a medicine and also
gave me some ointment.
"As the days went by I steadily
grew worse, the marks changing from
one part of my body to another. The
medicine and ointment were of no
use. One evening by chance looking
over the papers l saw the Cuticura
Remedies advertised. l Immediately
procured some Cuticura Ointment and
applied it to my body. 1t seemed to
ease my skin right away. l kept on
using the Cuticura Ointment for
week and can say that it certainly was
the finest preparation had ever used.

Seventy Thousand Men and $4,000
Horses Employed in New England
Forests-Lumber Crop Will
Total 100000, 900 Feet.

Bangor, Me-Ten million dollars
will be required to pay the army of
lumbermen at work in the forests of
northeast Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont and the provinces of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia this win
ter. In this army of loggers are TO-
600 men and $4,000 horses. The fruits
of the campaign will be a crop of
2,500,000,000 feet OF pine, cedar,
spruce. hemlock and birch.
Names logging industry 20 years
ago seemed on the decline. The es-
Enlistment of mills changed that. To
day logs have advanced so per cent.
in value and wages are higher than
at any other time since the days i'm
mediately following the Civil war
When the first pulp mills were built
in Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as convenient market
for the smaller trees that were not fit
for lumber. These logs were called
pulp wood" and We're looked upon
with contempt by all hands, including
the river drivers who navigated them
to the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight of man and
were productive of many a cold bath
for those who handled them.
Nowadays it is very different. The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs, but Gull out the
large trees, leaving the smaller ones
to grow and furnish a crop in future
years.
From a small proportion of the total
cut of logs, the pulp stock" has now
increased so that on some rivers it
equals and on other it exceeds that of
the logs cut for the sawmills In
Maine the harvest for the pulp mills
Will reach the enormous total Of $780,
100000 feet this winter. The amount
cut for the sawmills will not be far
from 400,O00,O00.
In every department of the lumber
industry rapid progress is being made
in methods and in appliances. In the
old times no one ever thought of send
ing men to the woods until snow had
fallen. Now the crews that do the pre-
liminary work are sent up river in Au-
gust, and a large proportion. of the
men are on the ground long before
snow comes, making roads and telling
timber, which in fairly smooth regions
is dragged to the yards at the time of
the year.
In the old times the men We're
obliged to make the greater part of
the journey to the woods on foot. Sup
plies were carried in on tote" teams,
most laborious and expensive meth
cd of transportation. Now almost all
Of the important regions are travers-
ed by railroads and the crew, provi-
sions and camp outfits are carried
quickly and at moderate expense
close to the scene of operations.
Oxen were used to haul the logging
sleds in the days of the pine, but now
the big spruce, which has succeeded
the pine as king of the Maine woods,
is hauled by horses. Soon the horse

No jury or Lawyer Required and
Appeal From Decisions Of Ar
bitrators Not Permitted.

New York.-The business mems
court of honor, a tribunal without
Judge, lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws of the state, has been re-
vived in New York after lapse of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, so far
as is known here, there is no other
court like 1t in the world.
In 1868 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the legislature
voted a salary of $4,000 a year to
the official arbitrator Of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the body passed out of exist
ence. Several months ago a move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment of the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before 1t.
To try the average case requires an
expenditure of only $50 or $50, COM
pared with the heavy expenses of
trials in the regularly constituted
courts of the state. The court is in
charge of the chamber of commences
committee on arbitration. The COM
mittee selects from the membership
of the chamber list of men qualified
to serve as arbitrator of disputes,
who are sworn in by justice of the
supreme court.

here in unraveling knot of conflict
ing evidence, when John and Margaret

thirty-five years and reared a dozen

All the girls in the family allied them
selves on the side of their mother;
the boys were divided.
In granting decree to Mrs Wetzel-
berger, the court said it was his opin-
ion that daughters, as a rule, have a
better opportunity to know the condi-
ton in family" and he deemed it
inconsistent with the womans long

Pekin, China-The theater in
China is the great national amuse-

play that lasts for several days with,
out getting the least tired of it, says
an English writer.
Figure to yourself a huge, dingy
barn crammed full of Chinese, mostly
of the coolie class, the men all on
one side and the women on the other;
attendants go round selling saucers Of
fruit, melon seeds, sweetmeats and
cups of green unsteved tea Up
above is huge gallery. also crammed
with tier upon tier Of men, women
and children, smoking, eating and ges-
ticula ing, but, as a rule, perfectly
well behaved. In the last respect they
could give many of our own music
hall audiences points, and they never
applaud.
Some have taken their shoes off and
sit with their bare feet up on the
edge in front of them, where also is
placed the program lin Chinese and

up to the top), and the saucers Of
fruit and other chow" purchased
