SUEZ CANAL DECLARED

The Suez canal. with tonnage less

proved TO be one of the gold mines of the
financial world. In spite OF frequent
reductions I'm the rates Of toll. the ,livi-

Of high living for many a year to come
And Uncle Sam, as the sole stakeholder
Of the Panama canal, feels that he is
going to make few dollars out OF his

May Reverse Policy.
But the United States may decide to
reverse the time-honored railroad and
canal policy of charging all the traffic
will bear, and pitch the charges as low
as the cost of operation will permit. But
In either case, IL must be assumed the
country will be getting its moneys

RAPID-FIRE GUNS TESTED
BY CUTTER LIFE-SAVERS
Six-Pounders Believed to. Be Best for
Throwing Lines to Helpless
Vessels.

Experiments with the Six-pounder rapid
fire guns such as are used in the bat
terieS of the vessels of the revenue cut
to carry line from a rescue vessel to a
ship in distress, will be resumed at the
revenue cutter service depot on Curtis
bay, near Baltimore, this week. under the
direction of Lieut.. B. H. Camden, the ord
nance officer of the service.
Recently Lieut.. Camden has been ex-
perimenting with the guns and the results
SO far lead him to believe that they will
prove much more efficient than the line
gun now in use. The one now employed
has to be moved about on the ship as
wanted. while the six-pounders can be
stationary and made to bear in any di-
rection.
Increase of Carrying Distance.
The small gun will throw the line carry
ing the projectile about COO yards. but a
six-pounder. it is believed, viii greatly
increase the carrying distance 1t has
also been demonstrated that the small gun
has several other disadvantages not en-
countered in the six-pounder.
The trials OF the siX-pounders have not
Yet been concluded, but the experiments
thus far have convinced Lieut.. Camden
that the change is practical. The only
difficulties so far experienced, Lieut.. Cam
den thinks. can be overcome by practice.
The innovation, officers believe, will be
invaluable in life-Saving work in such
cases as marked the destruction of the
late Inflated steamship Volturno.
Brooches Buoys Endorsed.
1t is claimed that had the ships that
went to the aid of the. burning vessel
been equipped with breeches buoy and
apparatus for sending line to the ship in
distress the loss of life would have been
materially reduced.
The results of the experiments being
conducted by Lieut.. Camden will be
awaited with interest, as it is said that
this is the first time that a gun used in
Eghting has been converted into an in
strument for saving the lives OF persons in
danger on ships in distress.
