quarters. and are taking this means
of providing themselves with good.
sensible homes at reasonable out
lay.
The original bungalow roof was low
and broad; but, In order to get more
sleeping accommodation, the ridge
was raised just enough at first to get
one room above the ground floor.
Builders, however, have repeatedly
pushed It up higher, until now we see
a good many houses built very much
after this plan, with as many as
three bedrooms in the roof.
1t costs but little more to build
way than to build f1ve-roomed house
with the rooms all on one level. The
rafters. of course, are longer, and it
takes more shingles: but the work on
the roof is rot much different. and
SO far as the inside is concerned, lou
simply add the finishing up of the ex-
ira rooms. The foundation is no
larger; and the only addition on the
first floor is .ae stairway, which, in
this case. is built in and closed with
a door at the bottom. You seldom,

There is a modification of ideas IN
regard to house stairways, even In
larger houses. The quest IN has often
arisen: Why should we build fancy,
open stair directly opposite the main
entrance door, as though every per-
son entering must receive an invita-
ton to go up aloft? As matter or
fact. not one stranger in a dozen en-
tering the front door goes upstairs,

10, tbe waters of Gatun lake were
united to run for the first time
go the Culebra cut. This simple
"noration marked the virtual compile
.t;on of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
,,to the cut today through four 26-
incb pipes extending through the
.romboa dixie, which has held the
,roters of the lake back from the cut.
This was done In order that there
nav be enough water In the cut to
nreyent any damage when the dixie Is
finally removed.
The final destruction OF the big dixie
a. scheduled for October 10. when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
nIoded. The explosion of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but VIII weaken 1t and loos-
on the dirt so that the force Of the
waters from Gatun lake will carry 1t
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dixie, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be Off
cially declared completed for some
time. and the formal opening of the
waterway to the commerce OF the
world more than year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction Of the Gamboa dixie as mark
ing the real completion of the canal.
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed.

spite unforeseen difficulties that have
beset them at every hand. \
Gcethals to Make Final Test.
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be boat of the
lsthmian canal commission, Col.
George w. Goethals, chairman of the
commission and chief engineer of the
canal and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month it is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
viii have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water Level required for the
passage Of the largest ships.
1t Is said that as long ago as the
early part of August, assurances were
given Washington officially that if the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship feet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within so days from that date The
work has been hurried with that end
in view. it is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance is an
indication of the belief of the engi-
Ineers that their work is now practical
lly finished
Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut,
into which the water has just been
turned has been zone of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9TH
er portion of the big "ditch." To
Col. d. D. Gaillard. the engineer of
the central division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion of the
work through to q successful termina-
ton.
The disastrous slides In the cut
were discouraging to the engineers.
multiplying In few hours the work of
many weeks, but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger of slides will be- eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut
A little more than a month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work in the Culebra cut. Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels. the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work. There. is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction

Captain Johnson fefuted the preva-

perature meant the proximity of ice
bergs. Little or no change in tempera-
ture was noticeable, he said. Nor can
icebergs, as generally supposed, be
detected with any certainty by an
echo from a ships whistle or bells,
as, according to Captain Johnston. a
perpendicular berg may give an echo
from some directions, but a slanting

speaking. bungalow has only one

parture from this rule though the re-

still maintained.
The bungalow developed in this
country on the Pacific coast. The
idea, probably. was originally brought
from India, although great many
architects claim that the modern
bungalow Is really the outgrowth Of
the log cabins and the sod and adobe
houses of the early inhabitants of the
United States. Probably bungalow
architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that we have very comfortable,
low-cost house; and the bungalow

This house plan gives an opportun-

Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut. Is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation of this lake, together with the
construction of Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
in the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake is an artificial body of
water covering about 164 square miles
of territory and was created by the
building of the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
tiers of Chagres river. Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what few
months ago was the valley OF the
Chagres. dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for a
distance of "a miles with width vary
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
