COCKTAILS EXPECTS
THE CANAL TO BE
OPEN ON JULY !
Will Be Ready for Merchant Ships al
That Time, He Believes
Against Exemption.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Colonel George
Goethals said yesterday that, barring
Unforeseen accidents, the Panama canal
will be open for merchant ships July /.
The colonel added that he had always
been opposed to the exemption of Ameri-
can coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls, because that would de-
crease the revenues of the canal, and in
his opinion, would not accrue to the
benefit OF consumers, but merely in
crease profits of the shipowners. The
colonel declined to discuss its legal as
peet or its bearing on treaty relations.
"The canal Notifications are entirely ade-
quate," said the canal builder, 'and /
do not think there is the slightest dan
ger of the canal being captured by any
enemy, for it would not be possible for
such force to get near enough. | am
not in politics and do not intend TO dab
BILE in them" said the colonel when it
was suggested that some of his friends
were booming him for the goyernorship
of New York. He was non-committal
when questioned concerning his accept7
anee of the much discussed New York
police commissionership. Il have moth
ing to say on the subject" was his only
comment.

SHARKEY SHOVELS
SNOW AT PRISON
Former Fighter Clearing Paths for the
Ash Carts and Showing
"CIass."

New York. Feb. 2l.--Tom Sharkey,
quondam prize fighter, recently sentenced
TO 80 days labor and compelled to pay
fine of $500. for being the proprietor
of disorderly house, was discovered
Thursday industriously shoveling the
snow out of the path of the ash carts
that those vehicles might move in and
out oil the Tombs prison yard. Later he
gave a demonstration of what might be
done in clearing the city streets if all
of the snow shovellers were of the cham
pionship class.
There was no installing the fact that
Sharkey had not asked for the detail
and that he was not altogether delight
ed with it. There were about a dozen
other prisoners in the little squad and
they tackled the slush on the Tombs
sidewalk as man might tackle dose
of bitters.
Under the eyes of gathering of awe
struck spectators Tom made the slush
fly into the street and, it is said, con-
soled himself with the thought that this
would be good training against the time
when he might have to return to the
ring.
Although Tom died not appear to like
his new employment, he tackled it with
all the energy and enthusiasm of man
who is absorbed in his work. The city
will undoubtedly profit by supplying Mr..
Sharkey with his board and lodging for
the next month.

Jumps" Many of these mud humps rise
just otfshore and form islands having a
surface extent of an acre or more and a
height of or 10 feet, but some do not
reach the water surface. These mud
humps, in addition to being of import
ance because of their effect on the chan
nels OF the Mississippi river, are also
of considerable purely scientific interest,
for their development is not included in
the usual conception of delta growth,
and although several theories have been
advanced, their cause must still be re-
garded as uncertain
To an observer at the mouth of the
river the idea that the region is great
dumping ground for large part of the
United States is most impressive. The
land is being built out into the sea at
an estimated average rate of about 300
feet year; in some places the rate is
much more rapid than in others. In one
place in Garden Island bay the land APP
pears to have advanced $4,000 feet in the
spring OF 1912.
The mud humps are commonly 20 TO
80 rods broad and stand 20 or 80 feet
above the adjacent bottom. Their
growth occupies from a few hours to
several years and is usually irregular.
Generally mud lump rises in a few
weeks or months to height of 4 or 5
feet above the surface Of the water.
Many OF them subside, however, and
some disappear over night. Those that
rise slowly are considerably worn before
they stop growing, while those that rise
more rapidly and in protected places are

Sarsaparilla Makes It,

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for theii
strength and tone and healthy action or
pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the bones
become diseased; the muscles become en-
feebled, the step loses its elasticity, and
there is inability to perform the usual
amount of labor. The skin loses its
clearness, and pimples, blotches and 9TH
er eruptions appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure

the treatment of scrofula and other hui
mors, catarrh, rheumatism, dyspepsia,

is no other medicine like it. Be sure to

capped by Eliminated silt having a max
imum thickness of 10 feet.
The stories related by sailors and
pilots concerning the mode of growth of
the mud Jumps are fairly consistent.
One man, however, states that the
growth of a mud lump was accompanied
by a rather loud roar as 1t rose above
the water, and another states that he
once saw flashes of light rising from
mud lump, but these statements are
very different from the great mass of
testimony concerning the humps, and it
seems probable that they are not based
on fact.
Among the most conspicuous and i'm
pressive features of the mud humps are
the mud springs that are active on
many if not all of them. The discharge
from these springs consists of salt,
watery mud, and gas-in fact, gas es-
capes at many places on the surface of
the delta of the Mississippi, the vents
appearing to be most numerous and
largest on and near the mud humps,
though the rate of flow rarely, il ever,
exceeds few cubic feet an hour. Gas
rises in bubbles in all the mud springs,
though its rate of issue varies.
II is considered by some scientists
that the mud humps are produced by a
gentle seward flow of layers of semi
fluid clay under the land and the shall
low water near the ends of the passes.
The mud Jumps appear to be the prod
acts of flow, because in no other places
have such thick bodies of clay been
found, and the fact that they occur al
most eyeius iyaIy mar Tho ands NJ fha
passes aid that they are most active
during the after times of high water
seem to support this theory.

IN EXCITING GAME IN
CHURCH ST. GYM.
Visitors Won the Game on
Fouls Made by
Goddard

The narrow margin of a lone point de-
lvered the Burlington high school bas-
ketball quintet from the gloom OF defeat
at the Church street gymnasium last
evening when they registered victory
over the five representatives OF Goddard
seminary by the score Of l6 TO Is. The
game was one Of the most holly con-
tested affairs that has been staged in
Barre this season. From the olrset the
fight for honors was exceedingly close
and it was only during the first part of
the second half that Burlington held a
commanding lead. This lead was some
what overcome during the, latter mo-
ments of the period, when the Red and
White lads crept up within lone point
of evening matters. During the last two
minutes of play the Goddard machine
made frantic efforts to register field
goal for victory, but success was not
Forthcoming.
The Burlington team presented a some
what altered lineup from its appearance
in the city last week. The team was
without the services Of Capt. Ashland,
who was injured on the last trip, and
Buxton, the star forward. The Rurling-
ton team played in perfect unison and
by strong defensive work deprived God
dard OF the much coveted victory The
Burlington victory was accounted for
through the medium of fouls, Sheldon
scoring eight points from infractions of
the rules by Goddard players. The SEM
mary players recorded more field goals
than the Burlington aggregation. The
game was witnessed by about 100 specta-
tors.
The first period ended to in favor
of the Goddard team. During this SEES
sion, Lameri, Cosby, Keefe and Wells
each scored from the floor. Burlington
scored but twice from the floor, making
its other points on fouls. During the
early moments of the latter half the
Burlington five piled up enough points
to assure them of victory. A sudden
shift in the offensive tactics of the sem
mary players swelled the local score,
but further damage in the last two min
utes of play was negligible. Cosby and
Keefe proved to be the star players of
the Goddard team, while Sheldon and
Taggart covered themselves with glory
for the winners. The score:
