A MOTH RESERVOIR.

An important problem that the pngi-

for the canal. since billions of gallons
will be needed TO handle not only the
lO.GOO.OU onS seasoned traffic, but the
2O.O0N.VOO maximum traffic that the
canal is capable Of in a single season.
In this connection it is interesting to
know that what is probably the big
