Great Earth Slides.
OF the feature of the construction
IN Panama which has caused more
dark prophesies and criticism in Eu-
rope than in America, Representative
Mann makes light. He was talking
about the great earth slides. How
they will move, what damage they
will probably do and how much there
IS of the earth still to slide has all
been entered in the calculations. Ap-
parently, the only unknown quantity
about the great Panama canal slides
IS the date Of their occurrence.
"All of the slides have not yet been
removed but that is nothing to wor-
~ about said Mr.. Mann. ut means
simply a few million feet more cubic
wards Of material to move. There VIII
ba some slides to come during the
next few years, but they are all pro-
yided for and discounted in advance
The plan is to complete during the
coming dry season the spillway which
is to maintain the level of the lake,
With that work completed, | can see

come effective next Friday, four
months from the date of the en-
actment of the law. Plans have
been made to carry out the new
system both as to the shore sta
tions and steamships operated by
commercial companies and the
army and navy stations.
Government licenses hereafter will
be required for all shore stations
and for steamers leaving American
ports. These licenses are being pre-
pared based on inspection by gov
ernment experts. There are sever
al hundred shore stations along the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the
Gulf and the lakes and Porto Rico.
The number of steamships required
to carry wireless under the new law
is estimated at 1000.
TWO Operators Demanded.
Every steamer with carrying ca
pacity of fifty passengers on trips
exceeding two hundred miles is re-
uuired to have two operators for its
wireless equipment in order to pro-
vide continuous watchfulness for
signals of distress. Safeguard for
quick communication between the
bridge of steamers and the wireless
operating room are provided If ac-
cident to the ship should derange
the current for the aerial telegraph,
provision is made for auxiliary ma
chinery to continue the wireless in
operation.
The government plans about to be
put in force combine the act OF
August 10, last, and various preced-
ing acts, together with regulations
issued by the department of COM
merce and labor covering many
details of radio communication.
The country has been divided in
to nine districts to carry out the SUI
pervsion, the divisional headquarters
being Boston, New York, Baltimore.
Savannah. New orleans. San Fran
cisco, Seattle. Cleveland and Chi
cago.
The government inspectors are re-
auired TO visit the shore stations
and ships and to report upon the
equipment and efficiency of instru-
ments. These reports are to be
made the basis of licenses issued by
the government. No station or ship
will be permitted to operate wire
less plant without such license.
Wireless operators also must be IL
censed.
