GREAT CULEBRA CUT.
Biggest Piece of Digging Ever Under
taken-A Huge Mexican Drainage
Cut.

The huge excavations for the Pana-
ma Canal across the Culebra divide
will be by far the greatest furrow in
the earth's surface ever made by
| human agency. This statement is made
by the Engineering News, in a COM
prehensive discussion of the great
| excavation projects of the world. The
| big Panama cut is SO large that the
mind fails to grasp its real magnitude,
and it can only be appreciated by
| comparison with some familiar object.
question of considerable interest re-
Gently raised by correspondent re-
lates to the largest existing artificial
excavation which is at all comparable
with the Culebra cut. Great amounts
of excavation were done. of course,
on such works as the North Sea Canal,
the Manchester Canal and the Suez
Canal; but all these were built through
comparatively level country.
So far as it has been able to dis
cover, the only deep cut at all COM
parable with that to be made through
the Cueibra divide is the great Nochi-
stongo cut through the hills which
surround the Valley of Mexico. This
huge excavation was begun in 1910,
for the purpose of affording an outlet
to the flood waters which had inun-
dated the City of Mexico and destroyed
great part of the city and its in
habitants. For more than a hundred
and forty years labor on this great
work was the chief task of the Mex
lean nation, and it was not until the
year 1888 that it was finally completed.
The total length of the Nochistongo
cut is twelve and one-half miles. Its
greatest depth is 1877 feet, and its great
est width is 361 feet. The total amount
Of material excavated was about 54,-
100000 cubic yards. In comparison
with this the cut at Culebra will have
| a considerably greater maximum
depth and width, even for the project
with the eighty-hve-foot summit level.
| The total cube of excavation at the
Culebra divide was estimated by En-.
gineer Wallace as 1S6,000.000 cubic
yards for the sea-level canal and ILL.,
100000 cubic yards for canal with
sixty-foot summit level.
While in mere size of excavation
the cut through the Panama divide is
by far the larger, the fact that the
Nochistongo cut was made with abso'
lutely no aid from machinery or me,
chanical power, but wholly with hui
man muscle, makes our task on the
isthmus seem like mere child's play
in comparison with that accomplished
by those patient toilers under the tor
rid sun of Mexico two centuries ago
When one recalls that this deep, arti
fetal valley. more than twelve miles
long, was all dug by the labor of In
dians, who excavated the material
with the crudest hand tools and car
ried 1t in baskets on their heads to the
place of final deposit, the great cut o.

What Governs Price of Dogs.

The price paid for dog seems to be
governed not SO much by the value OF
the animal as the sentiment of the pur-
chaser in the vast majority of cases,
and, as rule, the sporting dog brings
the lowest figure. Doubtless this is
due to the fact that the man who wants
a gun dog is practical person, while
the seeker after the SHOW dog" pays
for running the Show 1t Is granted
right here that many a good Eun dog
also shows we'll, but the highest prices
go for the show animal, pure and sim
