AN ULTIMATE SEA LEVEL CANAL.
III. Bunau-Varilla's Plan to Transform
Waterway from Look System.

Paris. Dec 11.-Philippe Bunau-Varilla, who
befors being Minister of Panama to Washingtor
was the principal engineer of the Panama Canal
gives authorized interview relative 10 the
building OF ths canal at sea level. According to
NJ. Bunau-V ariIla. the construction Of The canal
at level is not only possible, but it must
! ultimately be so constructed. Asked if the Pan
anna Canal ought 10 be made at once at sea
level. N. Bunau-Varill2 replied:
Not at all. To DO 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 imme
diately without dams the upper Chagres TO
regulate the floods and without tide locks at
Panama to counteTact in the canal the currents
due to the ten foot tide in the Pacific. The no.
ton Of free discharge from the Chagres in a
loclIless sea level canal must result from ex-
perience which would be acquired by working
q lock canal with a central lake, such as that
[ devised in 1892, and which was adopted by
the Isthnisr Canal Commission in 1901. The
construction OF such canal would give expert
mental data about the necessary cross section
OF the canal, about the slopes Of the deep cut
az Cuiebra and about the sediments Of the
Chagres. all Of which essential for building
a Level passage successfully.
AS to changing from the lock to the sea level
form, I gave in 1887 a solution which I COM
nunicated recently TO Admiral Walker. 1t is
ar easy, practical and cheap method of grad
ualiy Transforming the lock canal into a sea
level canal without stopping navigation five min
utes. 1t utliZes for the level canal all the
work done for the lock canal, except, naturally,
ms and locks This solution entirely protects
the future.
In one word. I think it would be a great
TO begin with the sea level plan at once
IT would cost 500 100000 more and require
twice as much time The lock plan will be
amply sufficient until the traffic reaches 4O.OOo-
900 tons-that is to say. seven times the proba-
BILE traffic in the first years operation-and Will
lead by experimental and secure ways to an
ideal solution OF sea level passage.
