FIGURE NEW PROFITS

0 p t i m istic Regarding In1 err-ec! Trade With South America. ! WA.stiiNuTox, roo. 3. With the hour or the blooming forth of the Bw commerce, which the completion Bf th Panama canal will hring into keing, just around the corner of the Calander, rich men, poor men, begger Ben, doctors, lawyers and merchants are busy inquiring into what the rejuvenated and reformed trade conditions will be. Statisticians who delve amonj; the world's archives and live on an exclusive diet, of facts, now are busy compiling figures as to what the canal will achieve. Those wide-whiskered, white-spatted, agle-eyed merchants and business anen, manufacturers and salesmen who hourly bend their mightiest efforts townrd increasing tiif wealth of the world, and thereby their own 'Wealth, are no Jess active in discovering what miracles the ranama canal Will conjure forth. Those Gignifled, pre-occupied, keen-faced men of the Upper atmosphere of business, the rail road builders and onerar.ora and the promoters of steamship lines are assiduously studying the problem. Figuring New Profit. Captains of great ocean craft and toasters of two-masted scriooners and mall tramp steamers are busy figuring out winds .and courses. Sailormen, stokers, stewards and cabin boys are looking up tiu possibilities of entertainment in' new porrs, which will fce made frequent ports of call when the canal holds up its beckoning finger. And in your city flats and country cottages the people, tne common people, are busy figuring, too. I All of them are figuring with the ne supreme idea in m:nG, to-wit: '"What will I gain from tne Panama eanal?" It is difficult for the people to grasp ;the idea of the Panama canal at first. It is hard to realize that this project, the pet idea of the United States, has become, something tangible. Because the French government and French private syndicate made attempts to pierce the Isthmus of Panama and failed, the project was for a long time considered by Americans to be an impracticable scheme, and because so many men, sapital and machinery disappeared, the men through fever, the capital through extravagance, misapplication and issue, the machinery through wear and tear, rust and accident, Panama and Nicaragua came to be looked upon .is constituting a mysterious region whither men and prop erty went, never to return. Agitation, the harbinger of achievement, budded in the United States through the hard labors of such men as Senator John Tyler Morgan, of Alabama, and General Floyd King, of Louisiana, and the Isthmian Canal idea blossomed forth in spite of foreign failures. It required strong argument to show the American people that they could do what France nad failed to accomplish for it was claimed that the pursuit of this Chimera , would be nothing more than an expensive wild goose chase. But the dreamers who in their minds eye, saw the seas united, won in the end and work began. Progress Begins. I There followed reports as to progress and as to disease, death and everincreasing cost. But those who became downcast at reports of temporary failure were outnumbered many times by those who waxed jubilant at news of milestones passed in the construction work. Then came the era of real progress. With everything set at full .speed ahead, the human ants dug away ;the land and changed the face of the earth to their liking. And now that the hour for the first passage through the Canal is' approaching tho people are just beginning to awake. Enthusiasm over this tremendous engineering achievement is breaking the shell of its dormancy. Everybody is looking toward the Panama Canal. The steamship companies are making excursion rates so that the people may visit the great project and ee with their own eyes what genius and ' preserverance have done. From tne rich man who can steam to Colon (in his private yacht to the street-car Conductor or grocery clerk in the ,mall-sized town, all are anxious to see 'nd learn more concerning the Canal.

Most prominent of all, perhaps, is the barrel cactus, or Bisnaga, which contains within its great spiny cylinders a fair substitute for good water. It should be understood, of course, that all cacti do not supply sap with which thirst may be safely quenched. We publish these photographs by courtesy of Dr. Daniel T.
