We have even used the old dredges OF
the ladder type. consisting of an endless
chain of nineteen steel buckets which
scoop the mud from the bottom of the
canal and carry il out to a chute at the
side into a barge. These dredges had
good boilers. and the machinery was
found in excellent condition on account
of its careful oiling and painting before
il was abandoned.
Those dredses cost tens OF thousands OF
dollars. They We're brought here in 1885
and they remained in the mud more than
twenty years. Their tenders were silted
over by the bay and were closed in by a
bank of sand six feet high, in which a

mighty dump and is being broken up
and classified. The bolts and nuts are
put in one place, the wheels in another.
and other bits of machinery OF various
kinds each have their pile. The dealers
recognize about three hundred different
classifications of iron and steel, and every
class is found in the scrap pile. The ma
Chinery is first taken apart by cutting
off the rivets with sledges. and much of
the metal is broken into three-foot lengths
for convenience in melting. The stuff
will lie taken to the United States. The
finer pieces will probably be sold by cata-
logue. and the remainder OF the steel Will
go to the foundries TO be worked over
again.

Among other things there was a balance
sheet the items of which alone would
fill a page of this newspaper. l can give
only few of them. There were 81
barges. IS yawls and 81 steam launches.
There were go steel cranes 40 steam
winches. $40 big pumps of various kinds.
100 rock drills and $50 punching machines.
There was a floating drill which, l be-
lieve. is now in use, which was valued
by the French at $4,000. and other
dredges and drills running into the mil
lions. There were "a American locomo-
tives. valued at 100000 and more than
200 Belgian locomotives, together with
hundreds of smaller steam engines. There
were steel rails enough to build over 200
miles OF. track and 1000 dump cars.
OF this machinery vast amount of it
was as good as when it was made, al
though some had been left in the jungle
and had rusted away. The French watch
ed out for their supplies. They coated
the machinery with paraffin and other
oils. and painted some parts of it with
white lead. 1t is owing to this care that
We have been able to use so much of the
stuff
Take. for instance, the dredges. There
are French machines working at both
ends of the canal This is so of one OF
the best dredges of the Balboa channel,
which has been remade and equipped with
modern appliances. Another dredge,
which lay for twenty years sunk in the
mud near the Pacific, was taken up,
cleaned and repaired and it is now going
out and loading all the sand used for the
Pacific end of the canal. Two big dredges
were taken out of the mud on the west
bank of the Chagres and foated down to
the dry docks at Cristobal. Here they
were repaired and they are now at work
in Limon bay.

THE FASHIONABLE CORDUROY.

Corduroy trimmed with broadcloth
is one of the smartest of all things
just now. This gown combines gobe-
lin blue with white. The blouse is an
absolutely new one with a big single
revere, and can be worn over a skirt
as illustrated OF under it, as preferred.
The sleeves are stitched to the arm
holes at the long shoulder line, feat
ure that is much liked. and in this
case they are cut on the cross of the
material. The collar is deep at the
back and the big buttons that effect
the closing are distinctly smart. The
skirt is made with a lower portion
that consists OF two pieces overlapped
az the front for a depth OF several in-
ches, consequently while It gives long
straight lines it provides freedom for
walking. The upper portion is made
in four cores and the back gore is
full length. Such a model can be
used in many different ways. The
skirt makes an excellent one for the
new tailored suit that is sure to be ia
| demand at this season and the blouse
can be made of any preferred material
thinner silks and the like, quite as
well as the corduroy. Gowns are be-
/ ing made with skirts OF heavier ma
terial and blouscs Of thinner trimmed
with the heavier. This gown would
be charming made from broadcloth or
from taifeta with blouse Of crepe me-
teore or massaline and collar and cuffs
OF the skirting material.
For the medium size the blouse will

MILITIAMEN ARE

today saying that on account of the
high water in Kansas this spring, all
members of the National Guards, who
will attend the encampment at FIT.
Leavenworth in August, will have to
be vaccinated.
The message instructs the captain
to see that all Of his men are vac
cinated within the next two or three
weeks, so that the arms will have
plenty OF time to heal before the
order to go to Ft. Leavenworth Is is
sued. All possible precautions are
evidently to be taken to prevent any
sickness among the militia men while
they are in the camp of instruction
this summer. Many innovations in
sanitation are to be features of the

ment is being received at the local
headquarters and will be taken on the

HOW BETHLEHEM WAS NAMED
Pretty Story Of tho Origin Of the
Pennsylvania City, Now In
dustrIaI Center.

It was not uniting that Bethlehem
the center Of missionary enterprise
and social service should have the
name of the birthplace of the Christ
But the name was given 1t under
doubly fitting auspices. In December,
t741, Count Zinzendorf, the friend and
protector of the Moravians in Saxony,
came to visit them. The original log
dwelling sheltered both the people
and the cattle. It was in this house
that they were sitting on Christmas
eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf
arose and led the way past the parti-
lion to the part where the cattle were
stabbed. and there around the managers
they sang Christmas songs. After that
they could think of no name quite so
Htting as Bethlehem.

Bethlehem is no longer religious
ummunity. 1t is industrial. With tie
coming of industry have come conti-

against this mans discharge.-John A.
