WASHINGToN'S BIRTHDAY FAV-
 ORS.

Washington's birthday favors show an amazing lack of imagination. Ev- anywhere one sees cherry trees and hatchets. Considering that the cherry least is extremely doubtful-it does seem that some more suitable emblem might be devised. Ices in cooked hats are pretty and appropriate. The color scheme of the table might appropriate ly be buff and blue, two colors not easy to be carried out in flowers. it is true, but not impossible Buff can dles with blue shades, on which the continental flag is painted is pretty. The little flags may be freely used. and red. white and blHe ribbons among the flowers will look well. At any rate be original and bury the hatchet and the cherry treee.

 Who would have imagined it was SO far?" commented the guest
 "Oh," was the airy response from the clerk. If the atmosphere was only a little clearer it would be three hundred miles away"-Judge.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Bunau-Varilla's Views - Start With
Locks. Change to Sea Level Later.

pbi,,inne Bunau-VarilIa who, before he
ine minister of Panama to Washington,
was the principal engineer of the Panama
canal gave out an authorized interview.
in Paris Saturday relative to the building
of the canal at sea level According to M.
Bunau-V arilla, the construction OF the
canal at sea level is not only possible, but
If must ultimately be SO constructed. as
are other connections between oceans. like
the Straits of Bosphorus, between the Black
sea and the Aegean sea. Asked If the Pan
anna canal ought to be constructed at once
at sea level, NJ. Bunau-Varilla replied:
mot at all. To be a 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 responsible
ity of building it Immediately without dams
ON the Upper Chagres to regulate the floods
and without the locks at Panama to coun-
teract in the canal the currents due to the
ten-foot tide in the Pacific.
1.-The notion of free discharge from the
Chagres into "a lockless sea-level canal
must result from experience which would
be acquired by working a lock canal with
a central lake, such as that l devised IN
1892, and which was adopted by the 18TH
milan canal commission in 1901.
s',The construction of such canal would
give experimental data about the necessary
cross section of the canal, about the slopes
of theDdeep4 cut at Culebra, and about the
sediments of the Chagres, all of which are
essential for building a sea-level passage
successfully.
.As to changing from the lock to the
sea-level form. 1 gave in 1887 solution
which I communicated recently to Admiral
Walker. tits an easy, practical method of
Transforming the lock canal into a sea-
level canal without stopping navigation five
minutes. tt utilities for the -sea-level canal
all the work done for the lock canal, ex-
cept naturally, dams and locks
..This solution entirely protects the fu-
ture In one word. / think 1t would be a
great error to begin with the sea-level plan
at once. 1t would cost 500, coo, 600 more
and require twice as much time The lock
plan will be amply sufficient until the traffic
reaches 100000 tons-that is to say,
seven times the probable traffic in the first
years operation-and will lead by expert
mental and secure way to an ideal solution
