WHY A LOCK CANAL.
A Great Advantage in the Freedom oA
 Lake Navigation.

As0ke NaNAHAAA00s
 Fro mSecretary Taft's The Panama
 Canal in the December Century.
 The great advantage of the lock ca. nal over the sea-level project is the freedom of lake navigation in the loch canal. The difference between the two plans was well shown by SenitoT Knox during his able argument on thG subject at the last session of the Sen ate by the exhibition Of map drawn to a scale in which the sea-level canal was superimposed on the lock canal and the differences in width were shown.
 The objections to the lock canal as projected are, first, that the Gatun dam, which makes the Gatun Lake. and fhg dams which form the Sosa Lake, being constructed of earth. are to be placed on foundations that will render them unstable: second, that the locks to be erected exceed anything known ia size and weight of machinery. and that most serious accidents might occur, which would certainly stop the traffic of the canal for days and months, and mignr go to the extent of putting the canal out of commission for years third, that the locks are an obstruction to navign tion and would much delay the steam CTS: fourth. that both the locks and dams of the lock canals are peculiarly subject to disturbances and destruc- tion by earthquakes; fifth, that the lock canal is much more easily put out ot commission by an enemy in time ot war, or by a malicious person. through the use Of dynamite or high explosives
