miles long. Much of this can be
used for the canal at small cost.
The general course of the Chagres
is northwestward, ana it empties into
the Caribbean several miles west OF
Colon, having flowed through low,
marshy country much of the way.
From Lake Bohio the canal follows
a different route from the river. 1t
is proposed to have the bottom OF
the canal $50 feet wide. The slope
of the banks, and hence the width
at the top, will depend on the ma
ture of the soil through which The
canal, which is to be 80 feet deep, is
cut
To the first stretch of 1919 miles
southwark from Colon there Will
probably be no interruption. In or
der to reach the level of Lake Bohio
two or three locks will be necessary
Gen. H. V. Abbot advised having the
lake, whose height will be deter
mined by dam across the old
path of the Chagres, only 70 feet
above sea level. The United States
commission adopted 90 feet as the
standard, although in the driest sea-
son this may fall off to 50.
Where the canal taps the lake two
or three locks are to be introduced.
The commission favored only two,
each making difference of AZ or
As feet in the water level. Although
such locks are feasible, it is re-
motely possible that three may be
finally adopted, as it is safer to lock
up and down only 80 feet at a time
If third lock is introduced perhaps
it will not be located close to the
other two, but be constructed al
Tiger hill. An enormous dam, block
ing the course of the Chagres, is te
be built little east of the Bohic
locks. Engineers say that there vii
be less danger of seepage, or leak
age through the soil, if there is
head of only 65 to 70 feet here, in
stead of one of co. Still, if there j:
another lock at Tiger hill the same
effect would be secured.
A spillway, to discharge the sur
plus water of Lake Bohio, will bt

west of the dam and locks, on a smai
tributary called the Gigantic. A nat

cret of loading with lead so as to pre-
serve the center of gravity is not

hit the nail on the head, no doubt,
when he discussed the amateur stand
ing of the roller who took cash prizes.
He could be an amateur sportsman and
take cash, because the distinction be-
tween the professional and the anna
teur bowler is not attempted by one
critic out of 500. All of the leagues
have to have money for running ex-
penses. 1t falls upon members to put
up that money. To give the members
an incentive for high scoring all
through the season, prizes are offered.
| Who shall say that John Smith, jew
eler, say, is a professional bowler be-
cause he wins $50 for making the best
average of the season? If the banker
on the same team wins the money, he
invariably turns it into the expense
fund of his club, yet he accepts the
prize. The only real professional in
bowling is the man who sails his serv-
ices to league simply IT, participate
in big match. And under the lax
rules of the bowling association even
he is not a professional. The occur
renee is soon forgotten.

From this table it is seem that the
people of the United Kingdom raise
not quite twice as much aslthey import
or not quite two-thirds of what they
consume of the four articles named.
OF the total quantity of these food
s'tutfs consumed the United States cons
tributes almost one-eighth. Outside
OF the articles. of food,are some things
many consider absolutely necessary.
Where, for instance, is John Bull to
get his tobacco? And where is Great
Britain and Ireland to get the more
than one billion dollars worth of the
other necessities of life?
Many eminent writer's have dealt
with the question. Among them is Sir
Charles Dixie. He says: 'The first
effect of a naval struggle would be to
raise the price of all commodities de-
pendent on sea transport. Our sailing
ships would be laid up, and the least
transferred to other flags. One result
would be considerably increased pro-
duction of food at home. There would
also be an immense sudden importa-
ton in view of risen prices.
Much waste of food would cease
through enforced economy, and every
inch of soil would be occupied in the

UNITED Kingdomwoul come much
nearer to providing for it's own neces-
sary supplies than it has done for many
a year. If ever complete investment
took place there would, of course, be
hardship; but it is not certain
that we could be starved out of re-
sistance."
This view of the situation does not,
however, seem to satisfy the govern
ment authorities. Perhaps they see
that the rapidly increasing population
of the isles isfast making the above uIy-
true. At any rate, it will be interest,"
ing to watch what action may be taken
by the parliament recently convened.
1T has previously frowned down all at
tempts at attempting to settle the
problem that will not down, but it is
thought shat the discussion has now
gained such Roadway that legislative

Speculate. statesmen may 2rer, but If
action is taken it is parliament's TO

another of those frequent opportu-
mites for reminding us how brief is
the span of modern times-the times
of the diffusion of intelligence and
comfort and aspiration. The poets
may sing, Che romancers may dream,
the classicists may contrast these
sordid times with the glories Of the
day that was. But the plain. mater
ial tale of long lifetime span OF
science puts them all down. No
wonder the man of the past lifted his
eyes more frequently to the hazy
star-depths-if If he did. There lay
his only hope; the present, his en-
vironment, was dismal at best, des-
pairing at worst. Aud his few joys
