Oceans Connected The remaining barrier at the Pacific end of the Panama canal was blown up by dynamite last Saturday. At 9:30 o'clock an electric switch was turned on and hundreds of tons of mud and stone were thrown high into the air, as the thunderous roar of the explosions re-echoed in the near -by hills. About 20 long tons, equivalent to 44,800 pounds of 45 per cent dynamite constituted the blast. which was one of the largest ever set off in the canal. The charge, which was planted in 541 holes at an average depth of 30 feet, tore a big gap in the barrier, but not to a sufficient depth to permit wa- ter to flow through as the tide was low. Equally interesting as the explosion, was the actual breaking of the barrier in the afternoon, the tide creeping steadily up until at 1:35 o'clock it was level with the top of the gap. A work- man seized a shovel, and made a small trench, through which a rill of water trickled. Gradually it widened, until I . an hour later, a raging torrent with a ! 35 -foot fall, poured through an opening 400 feet wide, into that part of the Ca- nal between Gamboa 'dike and the I Miraflores locks, which previously had I been excavated by steam shovels. This cut, which is 5,000 feet long. 500 feet wide and 41 feet deep below mean sea level, was filled by 3 o'clock, %%hen the waters of the Pacific rose for the .first time against the solid masonry of the NI iraflores locks. Dredges passed through the opening that night and in a few days the last vestiges of the barrier will be removed and establish a practically complete channel at the Pacific end. The dredg- es will begin Sept. 20 on the fast bar- rier of the Atlantic channel. When this work is accomplished, ships may navigate to the locks from both ends. Notice.

Between the two governors contest and Harry K. Thaw, the state of New York is becoming quite a well known place. It is located in the eastern part of the United States. It is said that for every live in the increase of population in the past ten years. four live in towns and cities and but one on the farms. This means the increase of population off the (aim is as four is to one. If this ratio is maintained, the high cost of living Is here to stay. A dispatch from St. Louis, Mo.. to the daily pie:s says, that a chicken trespasses at its own peril. If it stumbles onto a rOece of bread plast- ered with rat po'son and its career comes to an end, that is the chicken's own business. The plasterer of the bread cannot be held to have vio- lated the lass', even if the bread was placed on one's lawn near the favorite scratching ground of one's neighbor's chickens.
