EDISON TqtDELVE INTO CHEMIST' i:W YORK, August Thomas A. j Edison has begun to (gratify an ambi- ! lion he has cherished many years, and the laboratory at hlewelly, X. J., will ee comparatively little of him hence- : forth. Mr. IMin'tt ambition has been to give himself a roving commission into pure science and to steer clear of , commercialism. He does not want to ! increase his fortune, lie has got -V t)t,n,(ini, which he thinks is more than enough. All of his life he has been j turning nut money making inventions.) He will devote his remaining years to I investigating anything that striken his j fancy, without n-gard to its financial ; proifuct iveaefn. It is learned thet the , man who has achieved so many marvel ( in electric it v has a greater love for I chemistry than electricity. ( 'iieruist ry was the lirst science to captivate his wonderful intellect, but he lias never had a chance to dig as deep into il invst'Ties as he wnut'ad to. ,Vnw lie propu'-H to give n i nisei f I he chance. He has bought himself a place in Flor ida, where he will spend a couple of nmnt lis in the late winter and early next year. Toward t In end of this month he is going with his wife on a month s trip to the J'aotic cons..

WASHINGTON, August H, In the digging of t he Panama canal it has always been considered that, outside the construction of the big lock and dam works, the chief difficulty to be encountered is the great cut through the backbone of the American con tinent at Culebra. The problem was there presented of removing a mountain and by the aid of modern steam shovels, drills and dynamite the solution is being worked out. In fact, according to information wind) lias readied trie offices of the Isthmian cimal com mission here, over one-half of t In work has now been completed. This cut through the hills and the mountains extends a distance of nine and one half miles. At the highest point the original Miirl'a f the ground was 2Mt feet, and a hole from I'M to 1,(100 feet, wide and Hi" feet deep is being dug there. The work involved the excavation of HD.ilitS.iMS cubic yards of enMh and stone. The old Kreiirh company took out l-,'!r,ii,-nnll cubic yards between 1HI and I!-; the new French company took out ID, mi i i,i inn cubic yards from l!!.'. to H.-I, anil since (he Americans have taken charge of the work they have excavated !H,-l4.',4-(i cubic yards. This leaves only ;ti i, 1 1. 'i cubic yards yet to be removed, less than half of the total. In view of the fact that ll,l!H,SS yards were taken out last year after the Americans had got their machin ery in operation and their organiza tion perfected, tin1 indications are that at the name rate of progress the Cu lebra cut will be completed in three years and a half. I n t lie opinion of t he engineers here that will fix the date for the completion of the entire canal in other words, they think thai (lie work on Die oilier sedioiiH will be so limed as to be finished at the moment when t he exca vat ion is done. If hey are correct in this, the Panama canal nhoiild be open for business in .tan uarv. 1!1PJ. Van Diiulap, nn ex -merchant of Tal ent, was in our midst Thursday. Mrs. C. A.
