How a Ship Gets Through
The Gatun Locks.

A vessel passing through the locks
of the Panama Canal will have all its
movements controlled in much the
same manner that the movements of
a train are controlled in entering a
complicated railroad terminal. At
Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Mirahores,
an operator standing before a con-
troll board will open and close the
gates, fill and empty the lock cham !
bers, and perform every other oper-
alton necessary for letting a ship
through, simply by throwing a sue
cession of switches, and will know at
any instant just what is happening
in the locks without ever having to
look beyond the indications shown on
the board before him. Furthermore.
the mechanism is so interlocked that
it will be impossible for him to set
any machine in motion except in the
proper order and at the proper time.
The triple flight of locks at Gatun
extends for a distance of $500 it,,
while the operating machinery is
over about 1000 ft. of this
distance. This is all controlled from
a miniature board, "a ft. long, which
is virtually miniature of the locks
and the operating machinery, and is
located in an operating tower at the
foot of the upper flight of locks. A
picture of this wonderful control
board appears in the June Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

Zentaro Kawase, professor Of for.
estry at the imperial university of
Toxic, Japan, has been making a
tour of the national forests of this
country to learn the governments S
methods of selling timber and of re-
storation.
More than 1858, 900 young trees are
being set out this spring on national
forests in Utah and Southern Idaho,
and the season is reported as parti-
cularly favorable to their successful
growth.
Armstrong Lake, within the Bear
tooth national forest, Montana, is
said to rival the famed Lake Louise
of the Canadian Rockies. 1t lies at
an elevation of 1000 feet surrounded
by towering mountains. A good
road which can be travelled in half a
day by automobile connects it with
the railroad at Billings. A rustic
hotel has recently been completed,
and many trails make the surround.
ing region accessible.

The Latest PantaIetteS Not
Like Grandma'S.

In the June Woman's Home Com
psnion Grace Margaret Gould,
fashion editor of that periodical,
writes an article entitled Skirts
Flare 0ut-Behold the Pantalettel"
in which she comments on the panta'
lette of to-day and yesterday and
other new French fashion frivolities.
Following in an ex tract:
"Yes, Granimamma did wear
pantalettes and now Granddaughter
has her modern critical eye upon
them.
"Premet of Paris. who has s
quickly forged ahead into fashion
able favor, say, 'Pantalettes ere
not only to be worn but shown
"But let me tell you that the new
French pantalettes in this uppest-to-
date age are as far removed from
the pantalettes of the remote and
romantic days of long ago as cham
pagn9 from cambria tea.
"Grandmamma certainly in her
giddiest days would never have re-
cogniz ID these fimy, etherea lized
creations.
Hers were of the prudent and
substantial sort, fulfilling to the
letter the now lost mission of clothes
to be covering, and they were only
to be exposed on the most secluded
of clothes-lines.
TO describe the pantalettes that
Premet shows-those which belong
to the glaring Now-is to tell quite
a different story.
THE Paris dress openings in their
display Of spring and summer gowns
showed many novelties, but Premet's
custumes brought forth the mCst
yasps and "Ons!" Such filmy, frilly, |
perky pantalettes, and peeping out
with no suggestion of timidity from |
actual hoop skirts
Then there were other pantalet- ,
.es. direct descendants Of the modern F.
.ango garter, created just for the
lance. In fact, the return Of the I
oantslette to Paris is not so much
he revival of an cli quaint fashion
rs it is dress outcome of the dance |
,raze. From the tango garter it is
,nly light and airy step to the
.ango psntalette and the next step
lfter-and this is a stride-is the
nannish trouser to be worn with the !
suit.
And right here let me say that
he new tailored skirt. slit at the !
iides, and worn with trousers Of the
