The genuine Christmas spirit Is ex-

feeling for others, the spirit that fills
its possessor with warm human sym

thoughtfulness for the comfort and
welfare Of our fellow creatures. II Is
not simply a passive emotion which
merely makes one feel that he is good
and generous but is a highly dynamite
force moving one to active deeds Of
Kindness and mercy
Admittedly such spirit should be
the guiding star in our lives every day
but the Christmas season should call
for special exercise Of It. One Of the

Portrait Engraving. a Safeguard.
"Portrait engraving being the nigh
est type of the art always has been
considered and Is today one OF the
chief safeguards, The expression OF a
human face is a very subtle thlnS
when produced by few lines. The
least thickening or change in direc-
ton will completely alter it, 1t would
seem as though Photographic methods
would reproduce portrait engraving
perfectly but it has been found that IN
order to secure brilliancy in the print
ed effect recourse must be made TO
hand work or rebiting in etching that
causes enough departure in the lines
to change the expression sulliclently
for it to be discernible without very
close inspection.
Theoretically it would seem entire
ly possible to design a color protective
scheme that would preclude photo
graphic reproduction. Extremely IN
! tricate and ingenious schemes for pro-
! lection on this plan have been pre-
scented to us and the Bureau has actu-

All the machinery and equipment
for the building of the locks had to
be especially constructed owing to the
unprecedented size of the structure.
SiXty-four cubic feet of cement was
mixed at one time, and in order to ac-
complish this eight giant mixers were
fed with sand and cement and rock
poured from cars operated by cleo
tricity The carrying of such large
amount Of concrete to different points
was no small task ana four cable
ways had to DO suspended across the
lock site on towers eighty-hve feet
high. Cars with electricity as a mo-
tive power carried the cement to the
towers where ii was poured into huge
buckets. These buckets were then
pulled up and sent out on cables to a
point where the concrete was needed.
1t was necessary to remove about
five million cubic yards Of rock and

Floors Laid First.

The floors of the locks were laid
first and the walls were built in the
usual manner by erecting steel forms
which were removed after the con-
crete had hardened. The walls of the
Gatun locks were built in sections of
twelve yards and afterwards Joined
together. Walls of concrete built in
this manner are said to be less likely
to settle and crack than if built in one
continuous solid wall. Each of the
locks is one thousand feet long and
one hundred and ten feet wide inside
the walls The side walls are forty
five to fifty feet wide at the surface of
the floor, are perpendicular on the
face ana narrow from point twenty
four and one-third feet above the floor
until they are eight feet wide at the
top. The middle wall is sixty feet
wide and each face is vertical. 1t is
divided in two parts about forty-two
feet above the surface of the floor
and fifteen feet above the top of the
middle culvert, having a space down
the centre like the letter L. This is
nineteen feet wide at the bottom and
forty-four feet wide at the top. In
the centre there is n tunnel divided
into three galleries. The lowest one

centre wall, and the upper Will be
passageway for the operators. About
three million barrels of cement have
been used in the Gatun locks alone.
The locks will be filled and cmptied
through Il system of culverts con-
trolled by valves arranged in such
manner as to di tribute the water as
evenly as possible over the area of the
lock and reduce the disturbance in the
chamber while it is being filed or
omptied. 1t is expected that the filling
or emptying can be accomplished in
about fifteen minutes and that it will
require one hour and a half for a
vessel to pass through the Gatun
locks.
Giant Gates.
The steel gates used on the Canal
are siXty-nVe feet long and from forty
seven to cighty-two feet high and weigh
from three hundred and ninety to sew
en- hundred and thirty tons. They are
built with interior cells, at the bottom
with air cells to assist in their manipu-
lation and at the top with water cham
bcrs to increase their weight as the
water rises in the locks. The leaves
are sort of shells of structural steel
