by rival steamships on other freight shipments "penalized" standing for refusal of discounts for big bulk, delay, extra charges, "switching" fees, etc. Finally, rivals cut rates below $5 a ton. This entailed almost immediate loss to the new line of $174,000,000. Rival ships, or what are known as "fighting" ships, were put on the sea "to trail" the CaliforniaAtlantic, departing a day ahead of schedule time and so having freights piled up in embargo at the Canal faster than the Panama Railroad could transship. This created loss to California-Atlantic shippers and piled up claim accounts against the new line. In three years, as a result of this scientific juggling, the independent line was forced to take its ships off the sea.

Theoretically, Panama could and should reduce transcontinental freights by half. Practically, the thing is tied in a knot that will not reduce tariffs a dime. Look at the facts and ponder over what perplexed Uncle Sam should do about this four hundred million dollar ditch of his digging.

(1) Railroad ships cannot use the Canal.

(2) Foreign ships cannot come in on coastal trade.

(3) The only steamship line, that was operated independent of, the railroads, has been jockeyed into the hands of a receiver.

(4) When the railroad clause was embodied in the Canal Bill, it was predicted that hundreds of independents would come in on the traffic and order vessels from American shipyards. So far is this from being the case, that not a single independent has been ordered at the shipyards, and the orders for the railroad ships have all been countermanded except one-that one of course is in alliance with a railroad-a Mexican railroad.

Freights could and should be reduced from coast to coast by way of Panama. Should Be In Every Bath Room Under the conditions that at present prevail that desideratum will be impossible when ships begin to go through. How is it to be done?

AIR-MINE DIVIDENDS

(Continued from page 348)

contained so little in the way of raw material, has prevented power development. Ten years ago Dr. Samuel Eyde, a Norwegian who had studied his profession of electro-chemistry in Germany, came back to his native land with the great secret of utilizing the air as a source of raw material. Strangely enough he was forced to persuade French capital to back him in the initial experiment. By the side of a small, but rapid stream, he built a tiny factory, where he employed four men in the manufacture of nitric acid from the atmosphere, using a single electric furnace of 25 horsepower. Already the industry has grown until, at the two large plants now in operation, 200.000 electric horsepower are utilized, and more than 1,500 men employed-the total product of nitrogenous fertilizers being more than 100,000 tons. Extensions now under construction will double this production, and plans are made for the building of new factories, which will use nitrogen from the air in the making of dynamite, gun-cotton and other high explosives.

The fact, that at present, at least thirty million electric horsepower await easy development in Norway and that millions more can be produced by the building of dams and storage reservoirs, indicates the vast possibilities.

In Germany, after years of effort, the electro-chemists have just succeeded in getting ammonia in commercial quantities out of the air. Under a heavy pressure and in the presence of the tremendous heat of an electric furnace, they have succeeded in forcing the nitrogen of the air to unite with hydrogen, thus forming ammonia, the uses of which and its compounds are increasingly large. Big factories are now being built on the banks of the Rhine for its production.

Out from South Carolina, at the other side of the continent, in Los Angeles, is another experimental factory, which, also using the air as its sole supply of raw material, is turning out quite other products for quite different purposes. It already sells pure oxygen and liquid air for scientific and medical purposes, but
