An object the size of battleship can
actually be hit at that distance.
The rifled mortars supplement
these. The mortar is gun that never
appears above the breastworks. It re.
mains out Of sight and drops its mis-.
sile over the intervening embankment.
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.
tance of nine miles. The armor of the
attacking vessel is avoided in this
case and the shell is dropped in her
vitals.
The fortification 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 a 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 1t 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 thrown
across the cut to facilitate communi.
cation. Here quarters will be pre-.
pared for 5000 soldiers. It will be a
model army post for the tropics. Ce.
ment will be the central idea in CON
structtons. 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.
tillery. There would be some twelve
companies Of the coast artillery 800
men. These It is contemplated quar-.
tering near the Pacific end of the
canal, but they could be quickly trans.
ferred from one station to another,
So It seems reasonable to surmisa
that in the end the fortifications at
Panama will be such as the world has
never before known.
II the strongest of naval forces Of
the Pacific should attempt to attack a
fragment of our navy at Balboa. the

Of the coast defense could hold that
navy at bay until other battleships

same thing would be true II the at
tack were made on the Atlantic side
