E SAVING OF THIRTY-TWO DAYS AND $40,000 EFFECTED BY SHIPS USING PANAMA CANAL s Decline of Ocean Freight Rates and Increase of Rail Rates Has Boom Effect on Shipping WASHINGTON, Jy 27. (Harry h. noifem, I. N. 8. Bluff Correspond ent.) The interchange of Homo of the largest battleships In (he American navy between )lie Atluntlc and Pacific fleets throiiKh the Panama Canal shows that the big waterway Is func tioning along- the lines laid down for It when the United State undertook the task of constructing a seaway be tween the two American. When the work of building- the ca nal was undertaken, no one dreumed what a tremendoiiH amount of mn- terlal would have to be moved to make It a unable waterway such a.i it Ih to day. At that time it was figured that the total excavation for the canal proper would be 101,000,000 cubic yard. Mut by reason of enlargements and slides he tuHk continued to grow until ap proximately a quarter of n billion cu bic yards of material had to he re moved. The rail distance from I'ni on Station, Washington, l. C, to the Pennsylvania Terminal, New York,Ms approximately 228 miles. Imagine, ln Btend of the railroad, a canal with vertical hangs, forty-five feet deep and 124 feet wide deep and wide en ough to accommodate the biggest Nhlp afloat and connecting the nation' metropolis with the country's capital and you will have a picture of the amount of material that had to bo re moved to make the great brthmlnn waterway a completed project. Nor docs this comparison Include either the excavations by the French or those of the Americans for the aux. lllary port works, , coaling stations, etc. The total spoils which had to be re moved to unite seas, divide the conti nents and shorten the sea lanes of the world at Panama were equal in vol ume. It has been CHtimated, to more than one hundred pyramids of the di mensions of Cheops, two such pyra mids for every mile of the hlg'waiir way from the Atlantic to the 1'aclfie. Saving of 32 Itays. The savins effected by ships using the canal has more than Justified the hopes of tbe covtriffljynt. In undcrtak-i Ing Its construction. In pre-war Jay" the cost of maintaining freighter In j commission was approximately ten cents per net registered ton per day. Thus u 10,000 ton steamship cost for maintenance about $1,000 per day. Its average speed was around 2!0 knots a day. On the trip from New York to Son Kranclsco there is a saving of thirty two days because of the canal. With such a ship this extra distance would cost, on the basis of pre-war prices, $33,000. On the basis of pres ent prices it would cost aboout 150, 000. The vessel, by using the canal In pre-war days, paying $1.20 per net registered ton, or $12,000, saved its owners or charterers $21,000. On the busls of present-day prices the saving amounts to nearly $40,000. If, as Is now plunned, the coastwise shipping using the canal Is exempted from the payment of tolls on lfl.ooo ton steamer will save $12,000 every time it passes through the canal In tolls and at least $38,000 In distance eliminated. While It looks rather high to think of a 1 5,752 ton ship paying $18,900 for an eight hour trip through the ca nal, yet to choose that route between the Kant and West coasts of the I'nl- ted Slates lather than the Magellan route would save upward of $52,OiiO on the trip. llnrcly Pays for Operation, Another Interesting feature of the toll rotes at Panama Is the compara tively low rates at which cargo moves through the canal.- A net registered ton in shipping practice Is 100 cubic feet of cargo space. Now it happens that most cargo doesn't require so much rpom and that for some com modities three tons can be put in each net register ton spare. For Instance, cotton takes much more room than ni trates. A cargo of the latter has moved through the canal tor thirty seven cents u ton, while a cargo of! lumber might cost a dollar a ton. The average rate for bulk cargoes ranges around sixty seven cents a long ton. The present Income from the canal is hardly sufficient to pay the mere costs of operation, with no allowance whatever for depreciation or interest on the Investment. As the canal cost $37, 000.000, and as the government has to pay at least 6 per rent for money borrowed today, it will be seen I hat Interest charges alone would am ount to $18,000,000 n yen In other words, If I'mle Sam op erated his canal on the basis that the railway companies operate their roads he would have to make n rate of about $3 a net registered ton instead of $1.20.

P.)Moonlight golf is here the latest fad. It was started recently when one player bet another it was impossible for his opponent to play nine holes in the moonlight without losing a ball. Cnder the full moon, all nine holes were played, no hall was lost, and now several couples have taken to the links on clear moonlit nights. According to the initiators of the sport, to be successful at this version of the game, it is necessary only to fol low the old fashioned system or whacking them down the fairway. Tho balls s4dom can be seen in fliuht. but so far little difficulty has been found In hicating the balls on the fairway and greens and no difficulty at all has been experienced in holding out after once reaching the apron.
