your amazing statement replying to
Mr.. Farwellc Your ignorance of what
is going on in Chicago is astounding.
To say that even 10 per cent of Mr..
Farwell's work has to do directly with
the females of the tenderloin is max
ing it very high. A study of his finan-
cial report would show what he is
engaged in; and if you would peruse
that a while you would be wiser
and l hope a humber nan. Moreover,
why did you omit the name of Prof.
Henderson of the United Charities
from among those signing the Vice
Commission report? An acquaint-
ance with what he is doing would
quickly upset all your pet theories
about the United Charities, not to
mention where you have deplorably
fallen down in describing other or
CARNATIONS.
In the third place, it is no fault of
the preachers that you have not
heard how they have ''thundered
from. their pulpits the awful facts"
about low wages, etc. have heard
such laundering direct from a num-
Der and heard about them from
much larger number. Mrs. Raymond
Robins correspondence also will re-
veal that they have joined in with her
work in organizing the clerks. You
look to me very much like a quack,
interested in the coin just as much
as in lettering your fellow men, and
not entirely averse to garbling the
facts if your purpose can thus be bet
ter served. l am sure that no one
who is seriously concerned about
Chicago will pay any attention to
you, such as you are, in my judgment,
the bane of all progress.

GATUN WATER SUPPLY
SUFFICIENT FOR CANAL
Resources of Artificial Reservoir
Withstand Dry Season at
Panama.

Resources Of Gatun lake, the wonder
full artificial reservoir which Is the
main dependence of the Panama canal
for its water supply. have proved am
pie to meet all possible demands. after
the most severe practical test AL
though the amount Of water which ran
into the lake during the last dry sea-
son-January to April inclusive-was
less than in any similar period for the
past twenty-five years, being only 81
per cent Of tho normal collection the
lake was maintained at Its proper ele-
walton throughout that period.
The dry season afforded the drst op-
portunity engineers have had to de-
termine the amount Of evaporation
from the surface of the lake at its full
depth. The figures showed that there
was still sufficient water at the end of
the dry season to have kept the lake
level at seventy-nine feet above sea
level. which would have given thirty
nine feet Of water in Culebra cut. or
about ten feet more than the draft of
the biggest battleship.
Ample Water Supply Assured.
At the end of the present rainy season
Gatun lake will be eighty-seven feet
above sea level. and allowing Tor the
known evaporation. leakage and seepage,
this would be ample for forty-one pas
sages daily through the locks. using
them at full length. or about flfty-eight
passages a day when partial length is
used. as would generally be the case
This is a larger number Of lockages
than would be possible in a single day
Even in the great Sault Ste. Marie cana
the lockages last year averaged All
while the Suez canal reported only
twelve per day.
This assurance Of an ample water
supply to meet all possible con.
tingencies. including the heavy drafts
for power purposes. affords great salts

pecially in view Of doubts expressed In
foreign countries as to the successful
operation of the canal in the dry season.
