1t would be an exceedingly difficult
run down the side of a mountain slop-
| ing at an angle of about seventy de-
grees with a huge boulder rolling after
him. 1t would be hard to find a man
to do this, and doubly hard to find a
| woman, but when it comes to such acts
| OF daring-leaVe it to Pearl White. She
aCcomplishes this Embarrassing feat in
| the eighth episode of THE Perils of
| Pauline" The rock may have been
| fake" but it certainly looks like the
real thing, and even IL it were made
especially for this purpose, ii must
have had weight enough to carry it
down the hill, and the weight is surely
sufficient TO break persons back.
This scene, which comes I'm the sec
ond reel, is the big scene of this chap
ter, but it's ending is as thrilling as the
race itself. Harry, who has lodged
himself on ledge in the side of the
mountain, throws out a rope which
Pauline manages to grasp, and she is
pulled to safety just as the rock
plunges by. Without doubt everyone
will breathe IA sigh Of relief when he
sees Pauline safe at last in her lovers
arms.
Excitement and mystery are still
served in generous and appetizing por-
tons by the Eclectric company in this
serial. now in the midway of it's career.
Before one has seen this picture he
little thinks that the wilds of New Jer-
sey can be used as n setting for the
West, but the locality makes an admir-
able substitute. and If the audience
isn't told the truth. it is safe guess
that they will be deceived as to the
place. To add to the Western atmo-
sphere, a tribe of Indians is introduced
in this episode they have an import
ant bearing on the story. as il is they
who first find Pauline after she has es-
capped from the cave where she was
imprisoned by the villianous Hicks.
The Indians believe that Pauline had
come to lead them against the white
settlers, and when she refuses they set
her off down the mountain with the
rock after her When they see that
she is rescued, they attempt to capture
her but are beaten back by the cow
boys. A realistic encounter occurs, |
and this scene gives a chance for the
introduction OF some clever riding.
At the end Of this episode the ques
ton arises, What sort Of an expert |
ence will Pauline have next? She has |
already been on the water, in it, in the
air, under the earth, and on it; there
seems to be nothing left for her to do.
The next installment will be awaited
eagerly.

afternoon are amply convinced that
Disbrow can deliver. In fact he did
deliver yesterday afternoon, for he was
given an unofficial time of 1:14 1-5 for
the mile as he fooled his speed mon
ster around and familiarZing himself
with the track.
Disbrow and the other speed pilots
who have tried out their cars on the
Laurium track are well pleased with
its condition. They feel it is Just as
fast as an circular speedway i'm the
state and as the turns, i'm fact the en-
tire length of the track, are wider than

nifty for fast work the Hancock track
did not offer.

GATUN LAKE RESERVOIR
STANDS ALL SEVERE TESTS
Maintains Proper Level During Dryest
Season in Twenty two Years.

Washington, July 21.-Resources of
Gatun lake, the wonderful artificial
reservoir, which is the main depend
ence Of the Panama canal for its wa
ter supply, have proved ample to meet
all possible demands. after the most
severe practical test. Although the
amount of water which ran into the
lake during the last dry season--Jan-
uary to April, inclusive-was less than
in any similar period for the last TWEEN
ty-two years, being only 81 per cent Of
the normal collection, the lake was
maintained at its proper elevation
throughout that period.
The dry season afforded the first OPP
portunity engineers had TO determine
the amount of evaporation from the
surface of the lake at it's 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 mine feet above sea level which
would have given thirty-nine feet Of
water i'm Culebra cut, or about ten feet
more than the draft of the biggest
battleship.
At the end OF the present rainy sea-
son Gatun lake will he eighty-seven
feet above sea level, and, allowing for
the known evaporation, leakage and
seepage, this would be ample for for
ty-one passages daily through the
locks. using them at full length or fif-
ty-eight lockages day when partial
length is used as would generally be
the case. This is "A larger number IF
lockages than would be possible in a
single day. Even in great Sault Ste
Marie canal, the lockages last year
averaged Az while the Suez canal
reported only IL per day.
This assurance of an ample water
supply to meet all possible contingent
cics, including the heavy drafts for
power purposes. affords great satisfac-
ton to Panama canal engineers cspe-
cially in view of the doubts expressed
in foreign countries as to the success
full operation of the canal in the dry
season.
