What will the world traveller see
who makes the journey from Colon
to Balboa through the Panama CanalH
Approaching the old City of Colon,
formerly Aspinwell, from the Atlantic
end, the ship will enter Limon bay,
passing Toro Point, somewhere behind
which, in grove of magnificent cocoa
nut palms, are hidden the Notifications,
which guard the Atlantic entrance to
the "ditch" On the left are the red
roofs of Colon.
The line of the canal is easily picked
up through the buoys which mark the
channel. Under its own steam the ship
will proceed slowly southwark, passing
in transit the new American town Of
Cristobal built by the canal commission
and so on into the canal itself, one
thousand feet wide, across six mile
stretch of lowlond-the only unattract-
i've country traversed throughout the
entire forty eight miles of waterway.
Finding the Lake"
Already, however, the tourist will
have noticed looming up straight ahead
of the gray walls Of the first flight Of
locks at Gatun. Through those marvels
Of mechanical skill and construction,
by successive stages the ship will be
lifted up the three flights Of locks, a
distance of eighty.five feet, and, final
ly, the upper level having been attain
ed, will be floated out upon the broad
surface Of Gatun lake.
A tourist being shown about the can.

"How fortunate you were in finding
this lake here"
Il was a remark illustrative Of the
popular ignorance of the work which
has been done here. A few years ago
a broad, populous valley stretched away
from the point where the locks begin
There were half dozen busy little
communities between the two hills
where the lake now rests Then the
canal diggers came along, built the dan
across from hill to hill, and by slow de

daughters who are not run after to get
busy batting their traps,
If girl lacks attraction it is all the
more the mothers duty to make her

Youth is not only the pleasure time Of
life with girl, it is the season of her
opportunity, of her chance to marry and
settle herself well in life, and it is
just as much parents business to help
secure good husbands as it is to help
their sons get into business. A grouchy
father and an indolent mother have
queered many girls chances in life.
