CANAL OPERATING FORCE,

During his recent visit to the United
States, Col. George W. Goethals, gov
eminent engineer in charge of the
construction of the Panama canal,
talked to the reporters about the
progress of that great engineering
work. Since the canal is not to be
opened to the water-borne freight of
lhe world before the beginning of
1910 IL may have struck many read
eis as strange that Colonel Goethals
should have dwelt so persistently
upon the need for organizing at least
the nucleus of an operating force. An
engineer who has visited the canal
is authority for the assertion that few,
even among civil engineers, are
aware what a gigantic task awaits the
government officials in training this
operating staff. The magnitude of the
ditch and the complications incident
to SO huge a piece of engineering
have created problems hitherto I'M
known in the operation of canals. For
the solution of these problems-and
they must be solved before the stream
OF international shipping can be d.
Verted from its present course-much
time will be required
TO instance a single new problem
arising from the construction of the
Panama canal, there is the difficulty
of maneuvering gates which serve as
barriers between bodies of salt and
fresh water. Hitherto engineers have

In study of the locks made by s.
H. Woodward and published as APP
pendix A of the Report Of the 18TH
milan Canal Commission for the years
1S9S-1901, attention was drawn to this

might be made for the opening of
those gates which serve as barriers
between fresh and salt water When

sion was appointed to report on the
matter After large number of
complicated experiments had been
undertaken to determine how this
difference in density might be re-
duced to the minimum certain novel
features were provided in the designs
of the locks
Culverts will be used in the Panama
canal to equaliZe pressure exerted on
opposite sides of the gates before they
are reopened The specific problem
which the engineers had to solve was
the proper placing of these culverts
SO that the unbalanced pressure on
the gates would be reduced to zero
at the time the flow of water through
the culvert ceased.
The complicated device worked out
by the engineers to overcome the OBJ
stacle presented by a difference in
densities of water Is only one of the
many mechanical complexities which
will have to be studied by the operat-
ing force. OF course. all of these COM
plexities will have to be mastered be-
fore the canal is opened to the world.

ton naturally do not wish to have any
inexpert operatives mar the triumph
of the opening of the Panama canal
