Of cutting. The French did a portion
of the work, but on q small scale. Ait
present a horde of steam shovels Is
eating away the ground, dirt trains hus-
tie back and forth carrying the debris,
for much of the cut is through black,
vocanic rock.
AT the bottom the Celubra cut will
have a width of 300 feet. From the
lowest levels the side walls slope up
gradually to the banks. 1t is here
chat the greatest difficulty is encoun-
tered in canal digging, from cave-ins
Of the banks. Much of the vocanic
rock disintegrates under the action of
the air, and the side walls slide down
to the bottom. There is no preventive
measure against such accidents. All
there is to do Is ito remove the slide.
Eventually the slope at the sides will
be so gentle, after hundreds of slides,
that there will be no danger. Mean
while they occur daily, and down on
the canal the engineers shrug their
shoulders philosophically and get down
and sweat in moving the extra dirt.
Up in the states citizens who don't
know better shake their heads and
prophesy dire things.
BY the time the canal is completed
the passenger on liner utilizing it
will probably never notice the famous
Gatun Notwithstanding it is one
OF the marvels OF multitude OF gigan-
tic engineering feats on the isthmus.
The beholder will see the dam, as a
natural mountain, providentialIy placed
by Almighty hands TO hold the lake in
check. AS matter of fact it is a
mountain but built BY human hands
with infinite care and patience.

Panama Canal as Seen
BY President Taft

called Culebra cut. Save for this
rhere is very little real digging to be
done. The locks and dams are more
nearly completed than the Culebra cut
Upon maintenance OF the present rate
of progress here, and minimum OF
set-backs, caused by caving in Of the
banks OF the cut, depends the reali-
zation Of the prophecy that the canal
will be ready for use on January /,
1915.
The Panama canal is of the so-called
lock type, with six locks to obtain a
height of IS feet. The future Atlantic
to Pacific liner will enter a channel
with a bottom width Of 500 feet, at
Port Limon, around Colon. It will
steam seven miles through the river
like canal, to Gatun Here it will en-
ter a series of three locks and be lift
ed ST feet to the level of Gatun lake.

marked channel of from 1000 to 500
feet In width in this artifcally con-
structed body Of water for about "a
miles to Bas Obispo. Here 1t will en-
ter the Culebra cut. The cut extends
for nine miles and the channel will
have bottom width of 900 feet. Pc
dro Miguel stands at the Pacific end
OF the cut and here the vessel will
enter lock and be lowered 3O1s feet
to a small lake over which there is a
sail OF 11a miles to Mirafiores. AT this
point series of locks will lower the
vessel "a 2-3 feet to the level of the
Pacific ocean and il will sail out to
sea through chennei S1h miles in
length and with bottom width OF 500
feet Great locks, coating stations,
machine shops, and supply stations
will be located at either end OF the
canal From deep water on the Allan

distance will be about SON miles.
Sewers Backbone Of Two Continents.
Canal building suggests digging, and
1t is for this reason that perhaps the
most interesting portion OF the Pana-
ma work to the layman, is that being
done in the Culebra cut. The task
here is severing of the backbone Of
two continents. The same chain Of
mountains that twists througout the
far west in "the states" and
is known as the Rockies ap-

link between the North and South
