ARRANGE FOR
SIX LAP TRACK

This afternoon an arrangement was
perfected whereby the big race to be
run at the fair grounds on Saturday
night will be made far more inter
esting than first planned.
1t was the intention of the man
agement to have the runners go clear
around the big track but this after
noon. after arriving at the conclusion
that it would be better to have the
runners constantly in front of the
grand stand If possible, Capt Bryan
after finding that the ground was
suitable in every way, laid out a sixth
of mile track in the field directly
in front of the grandstand. There
the runners tomorrow night Will go
around on a sixth lap track, the
standard track for such events. and
as a result the runners will pass The
grandstand six times in every mile
while IL they made the run clear
around the track each time they
would only pass the grandstand twice
in each mile
The advantages i'm this arrange
ment are readily seen. The runners
will be constantly in sight of every
body in the grandstand, the lighting
features can be more satisfactorily
arranged and the interest and enthu-
siasm will be greater than If the long
track was used

Now, as 10 the recent occurrence at Gatun, which has led to so much agitation; few days on the spot were more than sufficient to disclose the fact that it was positively insignificant. It could not in justice be described as an accident for 1t was no more than a slight slump of material. such as engineers always look for in large fill. On the line they fully expected something of the kind and antlei- pate more than one recurrence of the same thing before the dam Is completed. It should be understood that there has been no eaying in nor falling down of the Gatun Dam, as stated in several sensa- tional published accounts of the affair, The Gatun Dam is not in existence. If it were. We should be very near the end of our task. The preliminary work upon 1t has. but just begun and it was in connection with this that the little slide occurred, whose rumble is still echoing throughout the States. although on the Isthmus it hardly caused the turning of a head
 As has been said. 1t is proposed to sup port the dam at its front and back with walls of rock. The material for these has been dumped during the past few months, as it was taken out of the excavation at Bas obispo At the close of last summer a mound of this rock was made on the west bank of the old French Canal, which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-04

ture depends upon it's composition and the nature of it's foundation. As to the former. engineers are inclined to think that unnecessary trouble is being taken in the selection of the material to be used and that ordinary soil from the ex- cavations would answer the purpose ade- quately Sand and clay in a fluid state will be pumped in between the rock walls and when the water drains off will leave a compact mass proof against seepage.
 The substructure of the dam site has been thoroughly aseertalned. It is ques- tionable whether any area of the same ex- tent has ever been subjected to such care ful and extensive tests. The first borings were made about five years ago in con neetiou with investigations relating to a sea level waterway. The borings have been practically continuous ever since and number many hundreds. scattered all over the ground to be covered by the dam. In addition several test pits have been sunk on the site to a depth of one hundred feet or more, which Is about half the distance down reached by the borings. The en- gineers know the character of the strata underlying the site of the dam as well as they do that exposed on the naked hillside in the Culebra cut. The dam will rest on watertight clay and the concrete spiliway and locks will have foundations of solid rock.

runs through the dam site and will
 eventually be covered by the structure. This portion of the rock wall was 60 feet high in one place and doped toward the channel It stood for three months with out any movement, In November the engineers began to pump the water out of the old canal in order to remove from its bed the soft material which has aecumu- lated since the cut was made and which would be undesirable to leave beneath heavy rains caused floods along the line and temporary lake was formed on the side of the rock mound. opposite to that on which the canal ran. As result great pressure was exerted against the mass of material on one side, whilst the resistance was decreased on the other by the removal of the water from the cut
 In consequence, the heap of rock slid few feet Into the old canal and at the same time small portion of it sank into it's foundation to a depth of somewhat less than seven feet. It was this trivial occurrence, which an engineer would hardly deem of sufficient importance to include in his annual report, that furnished the text for columns of alarming criticism.
 The question will naturally arise to the mind of the reader: 'Why, if there WAS no greater cause for anx- iety, did Mr. Taft go to the Isthmus ac-

looked after the extreme care taken never to let any part of them get out of order amounts almost to pampering. And, like all spoiled children, there are times when they behave shockingly bad
 Swiftness and the ability to carry more and heavier guns are the main features required of the latest models in the big warshp~class. Ten years ago the main battery of the battleships consisted of four 13-inch guns. two in each turret fore and aft. After short time it was discovered that 12inch guns would be more practicable, and when the battleship Iowa was built they, were installed in her as an experiment. The new guns worked so well that it was decided. after a conference, to have all the future bat tleships carry 12-inch guns. For many years no effort was made to increase the number of thunderers on any one vessel. but on the newest ships the number of guns of the 12-inch variety has been raised to at least 10.
 On the old vessels the four large guns could only be discharged to port and starboard at one time. while two of the guns could only be fired fore or aft at the same moment. On the new Dread noughts the turrets are so distributed that five times the number of guns will be fired at the enemy fore and aft, while the array of guns that can be discharged to port and starboard is expected to pour forth veritable shower of huge projectiles The number of torpedo tubes in the new monsters has also been h. creased, and instead of the single one carried by the big ships of the past, the new battleships and armored cruisers will have from two to four. Today tubes

companied by a special Investigating commission?" As to that, It can only be said that the President chose somewhat cumbersome and indirect method of quiet ing the clamor and easing the public mind. He was fully satisfied with the ex- planation of the affair immediately ad- vanced by the commission and the chief engineer. and they were given to under
 stand that such was the case. It was clearly understood on the Zone that the purpose of appointing the special board of engineers was solely to restore public confidence and none knew better than the men engaged in the work that the visiting commission could not make any sort of effective investigation in the time allowed to them. A month or two would have been necessary for the accomplish ment of such a task. As 1t was they were compelled to rely upon the state ments of the engineers on the line, which there Is no reason to believe were in the slightest degree peryersions of the facts.
 The work on the canal Is proceeding with admirable smoothness and dispatch. The men on whom the chief responsibility rests are proving themselves to be quite equal to the task, and, if allowed to pro- ceed without unnecessary interruptions,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-04

are submerged and are not visible, whereas, on vessels built in years gone by the one tube they carried projected two feet above the water line and was proportionately less effective. The tor pedoes, too, used on the new vessels are far more powerful than those of former days.
 Construction Improvements in the ma- chinery of the ships of the present day have kept step with progress in other directions. Every new and feasible Idea obtainable Is utilized by the men who design the battleship plans. What was considered the most improved pattern of mechanism a few years ago is looked upon almost with contempt today as anti quated and inefficient. The improve ments may involve great system of wheels and levers and they may mean merely the addition of little screw. But it's change and usually 1t Is for the better. Of course. mistakes are made at times. In the machine shops in the Navy Yard they know of cases where new and costly inventions were installed only to prove absolute failures. But that doesn't mean that the constructors went back to the old and approved methods. They had been condemned beforehand. simply be- cause they were old. What they did do was to rack their brains, spend sleepless nights and nerve-wearing days of toil- but the result was something new that did work. And for the time being It was the greatest improvement known until greater one came along.
 As important factor as any in the construction of warship is the armor. On the ships of today the belt is from nine to twelve inches in thickness and
