Is Laid

The members OF the Leisure Hour
Club laid the corncr stone of their
new building this afternoon They
had quite a program and the stone
was laid level and true according to
Masonic rites, and also according to
the workingmen's rules.
This marks the erection of a new
and substantial building in this city,
n that will be in use pretty rcgu-
larly when finished, as it is planned
to accommodate the outside parties
as well as the Club members.
A goodly number of souvenirs,
including copies of the Appeal and
the News, were incascd in the stone,
and no one can forfeit when and for
what reason they will be disclosed
to the public. 1t may. and let us
hope, that it will be generations be-
fore the building is destroyed. il ev-

Beef High
And Reason

Several newspapers are running an
article figuring out why beef is high.
There is but one reason. The Unit
ed States does not raise beef enough
to supply the market and the short
age is growing every month. When
the supply is not equal to the demand
the market scars. 1t don't take an
explanation from some Eastern pen
rusher to explain this delicate propo-
sition.

LAST BARRIER is BLOWN OUT
DYNAMITE OPENS PACIFIC END
OF THE PANAMA CANAL.
Is Thrown High in the Air. An
Interesting Spectacle.

PANAMA.-The last remaining
barrier at the Pacific end of the Pan
ANA canal was blown out by dyna-
mite this morning. 1t was an in
tensely interesting spectacle. At ex-
actly $50 o'clock an electric switch
was turned on and 1900 spectators
including the Shriners visiting here
from the United States and officers
of the British cruiser New Zealand
were rewarded by a wonderful sight
Hundreds of tons of mud and stones
were thrown high in the air and the
thunderous roar of the explosions
re-echoed in the nearby hills.
About twenty long tons, equiva-
lent to 44,800 pounds, of 40 per cent
dynamite constituted the blast
which was one of the largest ever
set off in the canal.
The charge which was planted in
I541 holes at an average depth OF
thirty feet, tore a big gap in the
barrier, but none to a sufficient depth
to permit water to flow through, as
the sea level channel was at low
tide.
Equally interesting as the explo-
sion was the actual breaking of the
barrier this afternoon. the tide
creeping steadily up until at 1875
o'clock it was level with the top OF
the gap. A workman seized SHOW
| ell and made a small trench through
which a ridge of water trickled. II
gradually widened until an hour lat
err a raging torrent with a 35-fOOt
fall poured through an opening loo
feet wide into that part of the canal
between Gamboa dixie and the Mira
flores locks, which previously had
been eXcavated by steam shovels.
This cut, which is 5000 feet long
800 feet wide and Al feet deep be
low mean sea level, was entirely fill
ed by 8 O'Clock, when the waters OF
the Pacific laced for the first time
the solid masonry of the Mirafiores
locks.
Dredges passed tonight through
the opening and in a few days the
last yestiges of the barrier will be
removed, giving a practically com
pleted channel at the Pacific end
The dredges began on Sept to re
move the last barrier of the Atlantic
channel When this work is accom-
plished ships may navigate to the
lock ends.

BLESSINGS NEVER
COME SINGLY
Herpicide and Beautiful

Having a head of nice hair is a
blessing within the reach of any one

fore the dandruff germ has denuded
the scalp and left a condition of
chronic badness.

luster to the hair which are so at
tractive.
Having a subtle fragrance Herpi-
eide appeals directly to persons of
refinement. 1t has been sold for
years, and boasts of more satisfied
users than all other hair dressings
combined.
Newbro's HerpiCide is recommend
ed and used by the best BARRIERS and
hair dressers.

The Underground Life of Big Cities


lilAf -IGcIlanlCS
| persons are accommodated in the
New York subways, and the crowds
are multiplying week by week.
Men go below the surface to reach
| the trains that are to take them from
that architectural wonder, the new
Pennsylvania station, east and west
out of the city. After they have
reached the trains they are dropped
still further underground in order
that they may pass beneath the bot
tom of the Hudson and East rivers.
To get out of New York city by
means of the New York Central or
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad it is necessary to make
use of that other architectural Won
der the Grand Central station, and
again travellers drop down into the
bowels of the earth before they may
start.
In the great hotels of New York
the mechanical departments are all
far beneath the street surface. These
departments are well worth visiting,
and in most cases the hotel proprie-
tors are only too glad to permit their
kitchens, bakeshops, furnace rooms,
engine rooms and laundries to be in
spected, These places ordinarily are
the cleanest in the entire hotel,
Many of New York's greatest de-
partment stores are connected di-
rectly with the subways, as are some
Of its newer theatres. Last Febru-
airy a family of three from San Fran
cisco, visiting in New York, lived for
a fortnight in one of the most fash
ionable and expensive hotels in the
city, spent most of their time shop
ping, sightseeing and theatre-going
and only once during the entire four
teen days passed into the open air
Of the outside world. From their
rooms in the hotel they were dropp-
ed by elevator to the level of the
subway. Through the subway they
went to department stores, theatres,
restaurants, museums and even to
church. When they started for home
they went by subway from their no.
tel to the Grand Central station and
did not get out into the sunlight un-
til their train had we'll started on it's
long journey And this was not a
bet, either.
