SEA LEVEL CANAL.
EngInee: Says It Will Eventually Be
Necessary at Panama

Philip Bunau-Varilla, who, before
being minister of Panama to Washing
ton, was the principal engineer of the
Panama canal, recently gave an au.
thorized interview at Paris relative to
the building Of the canal at sea level.
According to M. Bunau-Varilla the
construction of the canal at sea level
Is not only possible, but it must ulti-
mately be so constructed. as are other
connections between oceans, like the
straits Of Bosphorus between the
Black sea and the Egean sea. Asked
II the Panama canal ought to be con-
structed at once at sea level, NJ. Bu-
nau-Varilla replied:
mot at all. To be at perfect sea
level the canal must be free from any
artificial work, and there is perhaps
no engineer who would be willing to
accept the responsibility of building
it Immediately without demands upon
the upper Chagres to regulate tho
floods and without tide locks at
Panama to counteract in the canal the
currents due to the flood tide in the
Pacific. The construction of such a
canal would give experimental data
about the necessary cross section of
the canal, about the slopes of the deep
cut at Culebra and about the sedi-
ments Of Chagres, all of which are
essential for building sea level pass
age successfully.
"As to changing from the lock to the
sea level form, gave in 1887 solu-
tion which communicated recently to
Admiral Walker. 1t is an easy, prac-
tical and cheap method of gradually
transferring the local canal into a sea
level canal all the work done for the
lock canal except, naturally, dams and
locks. This solution entirely pro-
tects the future.
'In one word, think it would be a
great error to begin with the sea level
plan at once. 1t would cost s100, ,000,-
900 more and require twice as much
time. The lock plan will be amply
sufficient until the traffic reaches 49,
100000 tons-that is to say, seven
times the probable traffic in the first
years operation-and will lead by ex-
perimental and secure ways to an ideal
solution Of a sea level passage"

Extensively Employed to Fix Up
Rooms Of City Bachelors.
"One OF the most sensible things
about the lives Of young bachelors OF
the present day." remarked an old
bachelor, sis the way they employ
young women to look after their rooms
and to valet them.
when I was a young man no
bachelor would dream of employing a
woman under SO to do his rooms for
him, and as most of these women
drank pretty hard, 1t used to be diff
cult to get along with them.
Nowadays bachelor thinks moth
ing Of having servant in the twenties
to look after his rooms. and no one
ever talks about it, either. It may be
only coincidence, of course. but
notice most of these servants are
homely as sin. Which reminds me of
story.
"a young bachelor of my acquaint-
ance lived with his sister for some
years in an apartment where they had
an elderly married woman for a
laundress. The sister had to go to
Europe for several months and the
brother elected to run the apartment
himself. He asked the larndress to
come in every morning, prepare his
breakfast, look after his clothes, and
clean up the place. When she said it
would be impossible he asked her to
send one of her daughters. The laun-
dress agreed to this.
"Now it happened she had two
A.
other decidedly homely. He found
himself wondering the first morning
after his sister left which one of the
girls would be sent. When he went in
to breakfast the problem was solved.
1t was the homely one.
Perhaps from this we may deduce,"
said the old bachelor. that in home
ly maid servant may a young bachelor
find refuge from gossip.
