STATE ROAD WORN.
Returns for Seasons Operations Are
Coming in Slowly.

1t is learned at the office of the
State commissioner of highways that
the returns for the work that has been
done during the past season in the
way of building State road are at
present coming in slowly. and that
while the law requires that the re
turns shall have been submitted TO
the commissioner by the first of No
yember it is not likely that all will be
in before the last of the coming
month. There is lot of work SIT
in progress. and it will probably be
continued as long as conditions will
allow. The number of applications of
State aid which were received. last
spring, for the purpose of carrying on
State road work, were 1870. and the
number of returns which have been
made to date is about 10. In adj
dition TO the above. about 40 Jobs in
road building. which were made posi-
bic by the automobile fund. are in
progress, and the returns from this
work are also coming in slowly. The
total amount of the contract for the
year in State road work is slightly in
excess of $4,000.

You can see why it is. Take a glass

it will run over, bu, the glass stays full.
Just SO with your bowels; they get full
of waste matter, and then they pass off or
expel from the body only about the same
amount that goes into it in the form of
food.
So you may have movement of the
bowels every day and yet there will remain
waste matter that ought TO be removed.
Give your bowels gentle but thorough
cleaning out and you II feel great.

ed of special designs of magnitude
never before heard OF. For instance,
so big are the wales at the side of
the locks that a test showed that il
required pull of over ten tons on the
stem to open one of these valves And
this work is done electrically, and
here again the engineers were con
fronted with new difficulties Owing
10 the peculiar climatic conditions Oh
the Isthmus, with tropical heat and
extreme humidity, and the deteriorat-
ing effect of these conditions on the
insulation of electrical machinery, the
ordinary insulation proved unreliable.
and the engineers found it necessary
to make great number of expert
ments, no less than 16 sample motors
being ptted against one another. 1t
was an awful test for dynamo ard
motor builders to have~their machines
required to operate for a period of ten
days in a building filled with steam at
temperature of 30 degrees cent?
grade and having the motor cases fill
ed with water for five hours at 80 de-
grees. But finally the American motor
builders responded and suitable ap-
paratus is being installed.
Thus electric motors under tests
are now swinging the great gates of
the canal, each weighing very many
tons and as tall and broad as a great
sky scraping building in the remark
able time of one minute and forty
eight seconds. incidentally it appears
that to make these gates, the iron
workers must drive and head 5,750,000
riyets. The pivots of these great locks
are being made a a special grade of
steel and bronze not only for strength,
but to protect them against corrosion,
a very necessary preeauton in view of
the fact that they will always be sub
merged in sea water after the canal is
open. To guard against galvanic act
ion, zinc rings are also placed on the
bronze bushings.
HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER.
To supply the power to operate the
gates and sluice valves in the locks,
and furnish current for the monster
electric locomotives which are to tow
the steamships through the locks, a
great hydro-electric station is being
erected adjacent to the spillway in
Gatun dam. There are three 1850
kilowatt water turbines, and three O.
600 kilowatt generators with suitable
eXeiters and other auxiliaries. There
will be enough available water from
the storage in Lake Gatun to warrant
the installation of 5000 kilowatts,
though in the dry season it will be
necessary to draw upon the storage.
Altogether it is figured that for this
electric work seven per cent of the
minimum water system of the canal
will be required A part of the cleo
tricity is to be used for lighting the
line of the canal. There will be con
crete lamp-posts 100 feet apart
the entire length of each
lock wall. Altogether 1000 lamps will
be installed at the locks.

THE MIGHTY LOCKS.

OF even greater interest from an en-
cheering point of view, than the vast
but commonplace work of excavation
is Culebra Cut. was the work of con-
structing the great locks at Gatun,
and Mirafores, and Pedro Miguel, for
there many novel problems have been
solved, and lock machinery construct
