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 1t can only be appreciated by
comparison with some familiar object.
A 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 wor.;s as the North Sea Canal,
the Manchester Canal and the Suez
Canal; but all these were built through
comparatively level country.
So far as 1t has been able to dis
cover, the only deep cut at all COM
parable with that to be made through
the Cuelbra 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
a great part of the city and it's 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 1t was not until the |
year 1889 that it was finally completed |
The total length Of the Nochistongo
cut is twelve and one-half miles. It's
greatest depth Is 1877 fest, and its great |
est width is 361 feet The total amount
Of material excavated was about 3d.
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-five-foot summit level. |
The total cube of excavation at the |
Culebra divide was estimated by En-
gineer Wallace as 186,000,000 cubic
yards for the sea-level canal and ILL.,
100000 cubic yards for a canal with
a 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
cut was made with abso-
utely no aid from machinery or me-
chanical power, but wholly with hui
man. muscle, makes our task ON the
sthmus seem like mere child's play
n comparison with that accomplished
by those patient toilers under the tor
I'D sun of Mexico two centuries ago.
When one recalls that this deep, arti-
fetal valley, more than twelve miles
ong, was all dug by the labor of In
lians, who excavated the material
with the crudest hand tools and car
lied it in baskets on their heads to the
place of final deposit, the great cut of
Nochistongo is entitled to rank, with

worlds greatest wonders.

take sharp curves with little diminution
in speed. Express service is main
tanned on tracks meant only for local
trains. No thought is given to the
comfort of passengers, and the precau-
tiOns against accidents are desultOry
and break down at the first test"
The truth is public opinion has been
entirely too tolerant of the railroad
slaughter, which has been going on in
this country for years, and apparently
the whole country was toe intent on
mOney-making to demand the correc-
ton of abuses and the avoidance of
those dangers which seem to be inher-
ent to railroading in the United States
and which do not exist in any other
country. But it has happened that a
great railroad magnate has at last been
killed in one of the periodical rear-end
collisions which has become more of a
feature of railroad travel than bursting
boilers in the days Of steamboat voy-
ges on the NJ ississippi, hence there is
now reason to believe that something
will be done to stop the annual rail-
road slaughter, without resorting to
the expedient of tieing a director to the
fore end and rear end of a train as
was suggested some years ago as the
surest remedy for preventing railway
disasters,
