JUMPS ON RUSTY SIDEWALK
NAIL

While working on a well digging
machien a Minnesota man jumped
upon rusty sidewalk spike. The
nail drove part of his black wooden
sock far up into his foot He removed
as much OF the sock as he could, put
on Aliens Ulcerine Salve, and kept
right on with his work. The salve
drew out parts of the sock and all
other rOisons and in week his foot
was healed uD.
This salve is one of the oldest REM
edies in America and since 1869 it
has been known as the only salve
powerful enough to cure chronic
ulcers and old sores of long stand
ing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by draw
ing out the poisons and healing the
sore from the bottom up. 1t is so
powerful that it heals new cuts and
sores in one-third the time that COM
mon salves and liniments take And
il heals scalds and burns without q
scar. Sold by Ed c. Bruce and other

a man who understands his job and who has won his way to the top by his work as civilian. The most of the engineers here belong to the army. They are grad uates of West Point and they have been on government work all their lives. On this Pacific division there are many civil ians. Colonel Goethals uses the best men he can get, whether they be military or civil and he seems to have punched the Comber Is now man of 50 or more. He is an Englshman by birth, but he ran away from home to this country as a boy of 15 and three years after began work with the Mississippi river commission in 1873. He started in there as an axInan for a term of three months and stayed on the job IS years. At the end of that time he accepted a position as resident engineer with the isthmian canal commission, and he has been here ever since. He has had much to do with making the marine plans for this Pacific end of the canal and has also had charge of carrying them out.
 A Trip on the Canal
 Engineer Comber will go with us on our trip through the canal. We take a steam launch at the wharf near the shops and are soon out in mid-channel We are on the only part of the canal which is &C., tually completed, or, as MT. Comber says, the only all wool yard wide canal that we now have. The dredging opposite where we start is all done, and this is so of a great part of the channel from here to the locks @ Mirahores From those locks out to the sea the canal is nine miles in lengh. It is 500 feet wide at the bottom and for the greater part of the way 750 feet wide at the top. It is now only about 30 feet deep for the stretch
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-07

As to the work of these dredges, in her first 10 months the Culebra sucked all most 100000 cubic yards out Of the ocean and the Ancon did even better. Four million cubic yards would be enough to make a mighty prism 300 feet square and higher than the Eiffel tower at Paris. The base of that prism would cover 30,OOO square feet, almost three fourths of an acre, and it would be solid all the way to the top. which would reach twice as high as that of the Wash ington monument. Multiply that by two and you will see what these two dredges did in 10 months.
 Among the other dredges we see as we go on are some brought in by the F'rench. They lay for 20 years in the mud, but Uncle Sam has cleaned them up and they are doing noble work today.
 The Sand of the Works
 As one of the French machines Is pointed out to us. MT. Comber tells me that a French dredge is now taking out all the sand needed for the con- crete work on the Pacific division. There is no good sand on the isthmus proper, but about 25 miles from here up the coast the engineers have dis- covered bed of almost pure silicon. IL Is white sand which Is easily dredged and which Is being brought down in barges. Already more than million cubic yards of it have been used, and this has all been gouged out by the French machinery.
 Entering the Canal From the Pacific
 But we are now we'll out in the canal, where the ships will steam m from the Pacific ocea-.. What a beau tiful entrancel The sea here is spotted with islands, which stand like senti- nels guarding Uncle Sam's mighty con- struction. They are covered with. green
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-07

which runs from the wharf to the locks: but that running out to the Pacific Is 45 feet deep and is as wide as a good sized river.
 ; Tho canal here is lined with low forest clad hills which rise on each side of it thousand feet or more back from tie shore. The banks and this thousand odd feet are covered with a thick vegetation consisting of plants which will live in salt water They are mostly mangroves, and I am told they will die if they cannot be fed by the sea. They are for the m ,st part bushes ten or twelve feet in height, and they look just like the vegetation W hich covers the valley of the Jordan op- posite Jericho and the alkaline soil run ming from there down to the Dead sea
 Riding up the canal we seem to be go- ing through a river in from the ocean. The scenery is beautiful and the water, which is salt mixed slightly with the in- flow from the Rio Grande, is that of the Pacific ocean. Our launch takes us up the canal until we are stopped by dam of Culebra spoil and the mud from the dredges which Is now being built across the channel. Were 1t not for this dam we could go clear to the first locks and MT. Comber tells us that he could within a few months open the canal for ordi- nary ships to that point.
 There are but few vessels which sail the Pacific which are over 30 feet deep. but this canal will be 45 feet in depth all the way to the locks, and mighty dredges are still working. What they are doing I will tell farther on.
 It has been found, however, that there are certain kinds of excavation which can be done cheaper and better in the dry than in the wet. For this reason is

air It poises over the boat and then eisurely drops it's jaw, throwing into the dredge great quid of tobacco like earth weighing four or five tons.
 The Great Suction Dredge
 And then there Is the great steamer dredge. the Culebra, which through pipes sucks in mighty streams of mud. gravel and rock and pours them into the mud bins which form a part of its construc- tion. It Is just like its sister, the Anon, which is at work on the other side of the isthmus. These dredges make me think of the old song:
 ''The prettiest girl ever saw
 Was sucking cider through straw"
 Each has two gigantic straws of steel which extend down at the. sides and pierce the mud flats or gravel bed. and such at everything that is small enough to pass through the six by nine inch holes in their shoes. The best material for them is gravel, and the most difficult is heavy clay or rock Solid rock cannot be excavated, but Jumps as big as a mans s head are carried through the pumps with out harming them.
 Not long ago the Culebra drew about 60 feet of steel chain from Panama bay and threw 1t into the bins and on the other side of the isthmus the Ancon lifted a cannon ball from the bottom of Limon bay. Quantities of fish, cells and shells are taken up in these pipes and thrown with the mud and rock into the stomach like, bins The Culebra came with it's own steam all the way from Chesapeake bay into the Pacific through the Straits of Magellan, and the .Ancon. the Atlantic suction dredge. steamed down from Nor folk in the same way.
