BY UNCLE DUD.
(By Mail to the Times from the
Panama Canal Zone.)
COLON, Panama, Canal Zoze.
We have been studying types.
A week of intimate observation
and careful analysis has led us
to the conviction that Panama
contains an unusual quantity and
variety of typographical errors.
To begin with there Is the
"Spig."
Spig is an abridgement of Spig-
getty, derived from ''no-speck-it-
a." which is a timesaying term
employed by the native when as
surfing the tourist that he wat
teth not of the foreign visitors
tongue. Hence the term has be-
come one of general use among
the Canal Zone whites and is ap-
piled to everything of native
origin or use.
The local silver dollar is called
one dollar spig. The native horse
is a Spig horse, the native post
office is the Spig postoffice.
Banks, stores, local officials
everything of and pertaining to
the republic outside the zone is
distinguished as Spig, and the
Spig himself is type, like Jo-
seph's coat, of many cOIors.
In the course of future abbre-
Walton it is probable that the
term will be appropriately con-
tracted by the eliminati@z of the
letter S.
Both sexes are mainly occu-
pied in cheating the tourist and
multiplying the conglomerate
race. In both forms of industry
the Spig is abnormally a success.
In color he ranges from a blotchy
saffron to shade something
blacker than printers ink, but,
whatever the graduation of Gu
taneous tint may chance to be,
he can "no-speek-it-a" the Wis
itor's language, but ''savvys"
the extreme eligibility of all
forms of foreign cash and is COM
mendably industrious in its pur-
suit.
Up to the age of 6 or 7 his
children run about the streets in
hot weather as free from artifi-
cial adornment as a Mexican hair
less dog. Six or seven years later
they have children of their own
often without connubial for
mality. A shop-worn phrase
among the whites of the district
is to the effect that "the Spig is
not SO immoral as immoral
for of morals he comprehendeth
not.
The other types whom we have
thus far observed are representa-
tive OF many nations. We have
been called "Gringo," "Ameri-
cano," "Messieur," "Signor."
"Effendi" and Mclean Man." not
to mention dozen other things
that are too hard to spell or unfit
to print. We eonversed yesterday
with a sprightly young Chinese
merchant who assured us that It
was necessary for him to speak
eight different languages in order
to successfully conduct his bust
ness. II he succeeds no better

LIME USED TO THAW GROUND
In a Few Minutes Dirt Can Be Pre-
 pared for Trenching Machines

In describing some difficult sewer construction at West Liberty. Iowa Ckarles r. Chase. the engineer in charge, gave the following details re- garding the use of lime to over come frost:
 The work was carried on through tEe whole winter, when the ground was frozen to a depth of four feet. in which state it resisted all efforts of a trenching machine to break ii The lime was spread over the roZen ground, covering the width of the trench to be opened, and was then broken up into small pieces and coy cred thickly with straw, hay or man ure. Water was then poured on the straw so as to thoroughly slack the lime Hot water was found best and hastened the stacking The GOV erng retained the heat. which with the lime was spread over the frozen ground sufficiently to enable the trenching machine to make headWaY. On another job a covering of old boards with a steam jet was used to hurry up the process. The same pro cess has been successfully employed in Clinton.
