American iungles, isolated from men

and the magical and precious green
stones. is the startling discovery
made by DR.. A. Hamilton Rice. the
young explorer, just back in Boston
from a thirty-months' trip through
darkest South America.
It is thought by scientists that Dr
Rice has at last come upon the
strange female race of which eXplor-
ers and travellers have written and
prophesied for many years.
There were about twenty children
and twenty women in this community,
all stalwart, muscular and exceeding
" sagacious: women" declared Dr.
Rice, who fought as well as men and

we're with them, conferred on all I'M

Sandwich, Msss.-Only 1000. 900
yards of material must be taken from
the Cape Cod canal TO complete the
work OF excavation. This Is the state
ment made by Commodore J. w. Mil
Ter, yice-president OF the Cape Cod

The construction company, which
recently asked the Board of HarboT
and Land Commissioners for more
line to complete the work, expect TO

are no Unforeseen delays i'm sight. The
big dredges, OF which two are the lars-
est in the world, are taking from the
bed OF the canal about 1000 cubic
Tards per day.
The canal will be 30 feet deep at
nigh water, with a minimum width at
The bottom Of 100 feet and length Of
eight miles. It is greater in its dimen-
sions than the original Suez or the
present Manchester canal.
All vessels as far south as Charles

which now take the Vineyard route Is
nearly four days This means a loss
In money Of 10 cents per ton on the
100000 tons OF coal and lumber car
ried by tows and sailing vessels.
The engineering difficulties OF the
construction work are said to have
been great. More boulders and glacial
drift than were expected have been
