bulk Of the canal length lies in Gatun Lake

be covered at full steaming speed.
1.-The canal work itself may be divided
into three parasitic sea level entrances,
the cut through the divide of the Cordil-
Ieras at Culebra and the dam and lock
construction at Gatun, Pedro Miguel and
Miraflores. Each of these brings in work
of a different character

and Al feet deep, extending from deep water
in the Caribbean to Gatun, seven miles in
land This portion OF the work has already
been practically completed and is put to
daily use by the tugs and cement barges
running into Gatun. Although the rest of
the canal will have a minimum depth of -

We could not run them so close together.
We could yum. say four trains an hour in

But can't you put on more trains and

Yes we can do that. too. We could run
trains so close together that the 1noiorman
could reach out and touch the man AT The

EXPLOSION CAUSE
OF GREAT HORROR

Ottawa, Ont, May IAN explosion
which shook Canada's capital to the
foundations. and sent the city into the
streets in panic, occurred just before
6 o'clock Sunday night. four miles
away, when the magazine of the Gen.

across the Ottawa river, on the out
skirts of the French city Of Hull, blew
up.
Eight persons are known to be dead

seriously. Fire broke out in the work.
shop Of the factory. attracting to the
neighborhood a crowd Of thousand
men and boys who had been watching
baseball game in a field nearby.
Warnings were disregarded, and the
crowd stayed until two terrific explo-
sions filled the air with mass of
stone which had formed the walls of
the factory two feet thick.
Men and boys were moved down
as by a fire Of artillery. There were
no houses of workmen within a quar-
flying debris reached many of
these. In front Of one of these.
Fernand Lourin, was mangled, while
his wife, who had been beside him,
was left uninjured but covered with
the blood Of her husband.
Two dear ana 0umD sisters named
Carrier we're killed at their supper
table, while their parents were not in
jured by half-ton boulder, which had
travelled almost half a mile.
The company states the amount of
the explosive which went off was
under 10 tons, but as plate glass win
dows five miles away were broken by
the shock, this Is considered an under
estimate. Practically every window In
Hull was broken and there was glass
broken in every part of Ottawa.
Windows were blown out Of the
