Reports from the Isthmus say Colonel
Goethals instituted barge service on
the 9th of May and steady stream of
barges with a cargo of steamships on
either end of the canal is passing
through the great waterway. Suspen-
sion of trrffic over the Tehuantepec
Railway across Mexico owing to war
conditions brought about this rather
premature opening of the canal to
trade. The Panama Railroad has been
unable to handle all the traffic offered
for the transportation across the 18th
mus since the closing of the Tehuante-
pee railway.
Colonel Goethals has not yet reported
when the canal will be open to the first
steamship.

Has Enough of Jail After

after having put in two days in dur

meant a term of 200 days in Jail, the
penalty being served out under the city

No work seems more simple, more

study. Men at Bethlehem. Pa, were
loading pig iron on cars at the rate o5
about twelve tons a day. Certain pig
handlers were given extra wages for
doing this work under special direc-
tiou. An attempt was made to ascer-
tain the relation between the amount

Long continued experiment furnished
a vast amount of information. but ap-
