Officials of the commission here
point ont that the actual work of ,he
construction of the Gatun dam has
not begun. The work there under
way up to this time has been CON

dam. These ends are called rock
toes
AS their name would indicate, they
are made largely of rocks which rest
on the original SOIL no effort having
beer made to remove the loose
eartf on which the rocks rest.
1t was expected that the toes"
would settle more or less and tho
fact that they have settled caused
no surprise.
The Gatun dam proper is to be To-
Gated between these two retaining
walls and filling in there, it is said
at the commissions office, will be

DAMAGE IS SLIGHT.

Panama. Nov. 24.-Lieutenant Col
onel Goethals, Chief engineer of the
Panama canal, said today that the
1amage done at Gatun dam was of
small consequence. He statedthat a
rock pile on the south toe of the dam
had been raised to sixty feet above
sea level resulting in heavy pressure
on the clay foundation. The heavy
rains and great weight of the super.
structure had disturbed the equilib-
rum causing a falling in of the top
OF the rock pile. Slips of this kind,
be said, are not infrequent.

Early as 1773-shop Of In.
vcntor Still Standing.

Boston.-A quaint building on St
bered 216. is reputed to be the shop
where Oliver Evans worked In the
year 1895. Evans was one of the early
inventors of which this country has
furnished so many, and although he Is
principally recalled rs the inventor OF
the first steam carriage" or what we
would now term an automobile, when
he had his shop in the low.roofed
building in Lowndes or Elmslie's al.
ley, the little lane now named 81
James street, he was patronized as the
man who could make mills which
saved expense by giving 20 pounds
more flour TO the barrel than any
other.
Although Evans was not a native OF
this city, he was descendant of the
first Episcopal minister of Philadel.
phia, Evan Evans. The latter died in
the year 1928. Oliver was born in
Newport. Del, in 1855, and his parents
were in humble circumstances. Early
he developed n genius for invention,
and while he was still very young
man he designed non-condensing en-.
gine, in which power was derived
from the tension of high-pressure
steam. This invention has been the
Foundation of long race OF steamboat
and locomotive engines. The brothers
OF Oliver were millers. and the young
man soon Joined them in their busi

he made many inventions and in 1890
he applied for a patent for the appli.
