CANAL MODEL EXHIBITED,
Pedro Miguel Locks in Miniature
Shown at Museum.

A working model Of the Pedro Miguel
locks on the Panama canal has been re-
turned to the Interior Department from
the exposition at Turin. Italy, and has
been placed on exhibition on the ground
floor of the new National Museum, where
1t will remain for month
The model is twenty feet long and cost
about 5000 to construct. The gates of
the locks can be operated, and when the
model was shown abroad it was con-
nected with water pipes so that the whole
section of the canal could be filled with
water and the locks could be filed and
emptied. In one OF the locks there is a
model or the Olympic, showing the re-
lation In size between the vessel and the
canal. There is enough room for even a
larger vessel to pass through the locks
Accompanying the model is a relief map
and model on a smaller scale, showing
not only the locks, but their relation to
the Gatun dam and a part of the
Chagres river that the dam was built to
control.
