ton OF the coast defense stations. The
chief Of these on the Atlantic side
would be on Toro point, commanding
Limon Bay and the entrance OF the
canal. Another battery would be To-
Gated across the bay with the same
command On the Pacific side the
greatest point of vantage would be
Battle point, with a twin battery on
the opposite side of the canals mouth,
or possibly on the island of Culebra
in the harbor. All of these points
are on high ground and command the
waters within ten miles of the mouth
of the canal
Military authorities today declare
that the coast defense is the most i'm
pregnable of all Notifications. Hours
of heavy bombarding from powerful
navy should have little effect upon 1t,
while in return the probabilities are
that 1t would send many battleships
to the bottom.
The mainstay of the coast defense
is the disappearing gun. Those to be
used at Panama are to be of 14-inch
caljber. They will be placed back Of
Notifications which are nothing less
than mountain ridges, for the coast
defense station is sunken underground
at the brow of some eminence. The
ammunition, the stores, the men who
operate the guns, are all underground
with many feet of castiron between
them and any intruding object.
Two styles Of guns are the main
dependence of the coast defense, the
14-inch guns and the rifled mortars.
The 14-inch guns adapted to coast de-
lenses is the most powerful nipple
ment of war known. The missile that
it discharges weighs 1,640 pounds. 1t
would be a good load for two horses
to drag. It is a steel Jacket with
most powerful explosives inside. The
gun is of such strength as to throw
this missile a distance Of ten miles.
An object the size Of battleshiD can

Huue Earth Dam,

The big Belle Fourche irrigation
dam in South Dakota, which is the
largest earth embankment in the
world, is nearing completion. Con-
struction of the project was author
lied by congress on May 10, 1904, at
cost of S5,000,000.
From an engineering standpoint the
Belle Fourche project is one Of the
most interesting which the govern
ment has yet undertaken. It's princi-
pal structure is the earthen dam.
This wonderful dixie, which closes the
lowest depressions in the rim of a nat
ural basin, is $500 feet long, 20 feet
wide on top and 115 feet high in the
highest place.
The inside face of this structure,
which has a slope of two to one, will
be protected from wave and ice ac-
ton by two feet of screened gravel,
on which will be placed concrete
blocks, each four by six feet and eight
inches thick The cubical contents OF
this dixie will be 42,700,000 cubic feet
or about half of the famous pyramid
of Cheops. The reservoir created by
this dam will cover about 5000 acres
and will be the largest lake in the
state.-Popular Mechanics.

these. The mortar is a gun that never
appears above the breastworks. 1t re-
mains out of sight and drops its mis-
sile over the intervening enlbankment.
The missile takes a curve high into
the air, but its course is so calculated
that it will drop upon the enemy.
Powerful bombs are dropped into the
midst of the hostile camp at dis
lance of nine miles. The armor of the
attacking vessel is avoided in this
case and the shell is dropped in her
vitals
The fertilization board plans the
building of breastwork Notifications
about the locks where they might be
attacked by land. These works would
be erected at either end of the canal
In connection with them would be laid
the foundation of camp. Sewers
would be laid, water put in. These
are the vital things in an army camp.
With this preparation it would be pos
sible at any time, having the soldiers
available, to meet any land invasion.
Then it is planned to establish an
army post at Culebra, the highest and
healthiest point on the isthmus. This
camp will be pitched on the edge Of
the big cut opposite the town of
Culebra A bridge will be thrcwn
across the cut to facilitate communi-
cation. Here quarters will be pre-
pared for 5000 soldiers. 1t will be a
model army post for the tropics. Ce-
| ment will be the central idea in con-
structions, and hollow walls will lend
| themselves to GOODNESS. The moisture
will have no effect upon them and
ants may not devour them.
The garrison would consist of four
regiments of infantry, one squadron of
| cavalry and three batteries of field ar
| tiIlery There would be some twelve
companies of the coast artillery-1,3 800
men. These it Is contemplated quar-
tering near the Pacific end of the
canal but they could be G lckly trans,
ferred from one station to another.
So it seems reasonable to surmise
that In the end the Notifications at
Panama will be such as the world has
never before known
If the strongest of naval forces OF
the Pacific should attempt to attack a
fragment Of our navy at Balboa, the
Pacific terminus of the canal, the guns
of the coast defense could hold that
navy at bay until other battleships
were brought through the canal The
same thing would be true If the at
tack were made on the Atlantic side
with the process reversed
