The following Is an extract from an
article entitled The Building of the
Panama Canal, written by Colonel
Geo. W .Goethals In the Ssrlbner's
Magazine. June 1915, page 1872:
"The greatest part of the force did
not belong to the teetotaler class,

made from time to time, with the

ed with 1913, according to G. F. Le-

ma My to a lessened demand for coal
for domestic uses, by reason of the
unusually mild weather throughout
the year and to the smaller amount
required by the railroads. The re-

Errors Of DramatIsts.

The early English dramatists (be-
fore Shakespeare were led to form an
erroneous conception of tragedy. In
order to secure for 1t its due impor.
lance and the greatest possible effect
they exaggerated the tragic element to
such a degree as to make It hideous
and horrible, and to accomplish this
they had recourse to the most forced
situations, to the delineation of coarse
outbursts of passion and to a diction
which was unnatural, forced and BON
bastic.
