HOW BIG SHIPS WILL Be ).
TOWED D THROUGH CANAL
-Four Locomotives viii Hold
Ships Under Control as They
Pass Thorough
nv Assooiat.d Press.,

WASHINGTON; Oct 1o.-The system
of towing to be employed in operating
the locks In the Panama canal is out
lined in specifications for the towing To-
comotives which have been prepared in
order that bids may be asked for on the
40 machines which will be required for
the locks at Gatun. Pedro Miguel and
Miraflores. t5t
The system. which is the invention or
Edward Schildhauer, OF the canal engi-
neering staff, provides for tbe passing
of a ship through the locks at the rate
of two miles an hour, the vessel being
held steady between four taut hawsers.
A ship will come to a full stop in
the fore bay OF the locks, where four
hawsers will be attached to II, two for
ward on either side and two aft. AT
their Other ends, these hawsers will be
attached to the windlasses OF four tow
ing locomotives, operating on the lock
walls, two forward towing and two aft
being towed by their hawsers, thus hold
ing the ship steady. The locomotives
will run on a level. except as they pass
from one lock to another, where they
will climb heavy grades.
There will be two systems Of tracks.
one for towing and the other for the re-
turn of the locomotives when not tow
ing.

Preserving Fruit
For Exhibition

1t is often desirable to preserve
fruit IN the natural state so that
IL may be kept for several months,
retaining color and shape. The
use of formaldehyde is one OF the
best methods of preserving fruits
for exhibition at state and county
fairs which usually come several
weeks after fruit is ripe. In the
first place the fruit should be ripe
and well colored when gathered,
but should not be soft or have de-
fective spots. For apples, peaches
and pears, take 50 parts pure els
tern water and add to this five
parts of formaldehyde; stir this a
little and do not leave 1t exposed
since formaldehyde evaportes
quickly when exposed TO the air.
Place the fruit in a Jar and pour
the preparation over II and seal
tight. For grapes use SO parts
water and two parts formaldehyde
These formulas will usually give
satisfaction, but when the fruit is
exceedingly acid a teaspoonful of
soda to quart jar will aid in
holding the color.
Formaldehyde is known CONNER
cially as 40 per cent. solution Of
formalin and may be so ordered
from any druggist or supply house
through the local dealer. Exhibit
ton jars are not so readily OBJ
tainable, but the common Mason
fruit jar will answer the purpose
very well.
