feet high and three feet across wrap
ped five times around the earth at
the equator and you may get an idea
OF what is meant by 232.353,000 cubic
yards OF excavation which the canal
work has called for, Or reduce to
the picture of solid block the 4,476.-
$50 cubic yards of concrete that have
gone into the construction Of the
locks and the dams and the spillways.
Imagine a river varying in width
from 300 to ], 000 feet and with mini.
mum depth Of Al feet, climbing in
great steps from sea level to a height
of 60 feet, passing through a nine-mile
cut in mountain and descending by
stairs again to sea level and you have
glimpse of the Panama Canal as it
has been created by human hands.
1t will be possible to go through the
canal from ocean to ocean in IL hours.
It took the battlesllip Oregon six
weeks to pass around the Horn dur
ing the Spanish American war. From
deep water in the Caribbean Sea ON
the east to deep water in the Pacific
Ocean on the west the canal measures
length of so miles. Vessels will
reach its summit elevation by fight
OF three locks located at Gatun, ON
the Atlantic side. and by one lock at
Pedro Miguel and a flight Of two at
Mirafiores, on the Pacific SIDE These
steps in the great waterway vary in
height from AZ to 80 feet and those at
Gatun, the largest ever designed. can
be mounted by the greatest vessels in
less than half an hour each The locks
at every point have been built in du-
plicate, the better to accommodate
traffic The canal has been designed
to take care OF 100000 tons OF
traffic a year, or four times the
amount OF commerce now passing
through the Suez Canal and twice the
amount now passing through the
American $780, Canal.
Uncle Sam began the construction
of the canal nearly seven years ago
Back of that time runs a period of
four centuries during which time men
were talking of Panama Canal. a
period frightened by big dreams and
fdarkened by the lost fortunes of those
who sought to, make these dreams
materialize. Since the first hardy ad-
ventures Of the old world began seek
ing western passage to the riches
in the Far East, the thought Of a canal
across the Isthmus Of Panama has
been fixed in the mind pr the world
Spain, England, Portugal and France
have all at some time embarked on
the undertaking only to fail. 1t was
President Grant who first gave official
Ntterance to the policy Of ian Ameri.
can canal under American control
and it was President Roosevelt who
substituted the work for the words.

May Split The Army,

Mexico City.-There has been end
less speculation here regarding the
effect of Provisional President Huer-
ta's coup sd'etat. Many appear to be-
lieve that the logical result will be
a split in the army, which. they as
sert, has only been held together by
the force of General Huerta's person
atty. They argue that there has been
dissatisfaction over Huerta's course
in general, and that this will test
loyalty to the danger point. They look
for startling developments in the near

1,227 Charges Of Dynamite.
Under the dixie were placed 1927
charges of dynamite. -Four hundred
charges were exploded at once and
the rest. were let go later, at intervals.

the event, besides Colonel Goethals,
were Lieut.. George B. Goethals and

Colonel Goethals had the blasts so
placed that the 400 discharges on
President Wilson's signal blew only
the top OF the dyke into the air, MAX

on hand to attack the debris imme-

and the loosened earth was carried

set of subsequently and the Gamboa
dyke reduced by easy stages.

Washington Twenty-one million
dozen eggs, valued at $4,000, 900, were
sent out Of the United States to feed
foreign nations during the fiscal year
of 1913, according to statistics given
out by the Bureau of Foreign and Do

egg export business of former years,
these figures are stupendous. Ten

Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. d. there
lived in China an artist. who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, a long
scroll. which for at least a thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, 1t
Is in all probability a painting by his
hand. One day.. we are told, he in
trusted to a friend a chest full Of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid Of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with q seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings. and hit on the
simple expedient OF removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku Kai-chih. he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings. he said. communi-
cate with supernatural beings; they
have, changed their form and flown
away. like men when they join the
