WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 49,
The board of consulting engineers
today declared in favor of a sea
level canal. The engineers say the
sea level canal will cost more and
take longer to build, but will uti-

will allow ships to make much
shorter trips than If they had to
go through several locks. Official

victions seem to come suddenly, espe-
cially religious convictions, though
there is usually long process OF pre-

practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit;
in Munich. Germany. at 2091s de-
grees; in the City of Mexico, at 200
degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an
elevation OF $4,000 feet above the lev
FL of the sea, at $50 degrees. These
differences are caused by the vary

these points. In London the whole
