COUNTY JAIL CALLED
GREAT SCHOOL OF CRIME

You have here an illustration OF the
need for this closer relationship. for
have visited one Of your jails and
found 200 or more men in idlcness If
there is one great school of crime. IL is
the County jail. There are nifty aims
houses of the smaller kind in Virginia
which have no ,ninistrations for their
old people. no services even for their
dead You have also the problem OF
caring for the insane and for idiot
children The church ough, to arouse
the public conscience to that need IL
is hard to find people who will care
for the insane aud the idiots and the
epileptic. 1t requires the love OF Jesus
Christ in ali it's fulncss to do work Of
that kind. And this Is what the church
Is for. We must organize in every
way for efficiency in effort OF this kind

WORK to be done by the diocese ms we'll

well. and in Virginia you have spent
more than s2,00o.3o0 In the last year
Tor social-scrvice work. One OF tho
most remarkable things we can think
OF Is the conversion of the State by
the church. To-day the State and the
county are doing tho work of the
church of Christ. but the church has
been drifting away from it's task We
should establish Il closer relationship
between the church and the state. and
hope the day may come when the
preacher In the pulpit will know more
than to find the place in the Book of
Common Prayer and the apostolic sue
ccssion: when he will learn the pro-
gram of the State in caring for it's
dependents and its penal institutions.

THE PANAMA
CANAL AT WORK

metamorphosed rock lying like a cape
over the shoulders of the mountain
Take round iron bar to represent the
igneous core of Culebra Mountain and
pour a handful of earth over 1t, and
you will see exactly the relation OF this
soft material to the core of the range
You will likewise see that If you file a
cut through this bar you would have a
nice clean hole through the iron but
the dirt would come sliding down. Thus
you would have a perfect miniature of
the slides at Culebra.
Work Twenty-Five Hours n Day
This is. the situation to-day. For
twenty-five hours out of twenty four
they are digging mud out of the cut
with four dipper dredges, one suction
and one ladder dredge. There are three
shifts of men for each dredge, and they
have been working from twenty-five O
TO twenty-four hours a day, seven days
in the week, ever since October 1878.
This equipment is digging out 10000
cubic yards of earth and rock every day
at an expense of about $4,000. This
$1,000 is almost half of the operating
expense of the canal. rhe cost per
cubic yard is from thirty to forty cents,
which is about one-half that of cry eX-
cavation. The spoil of the dipper
dredges is hauled to Gatun lake and
dumped. That from the suction
dredges is pumped into the Rio
Grande river over the hill from the
canal.
But in addition to eating up all the
profits, the slides are delaying the

ships. November l has been set as the
date when the canal will be clear after
the last great movement of the slides,
which is the most serious that has oc-
CURED since its opening. Besides this
last movement, there has been one de-
lay. of a week, and no others of more
than two or three days duration.
So the slides are the cruX of the
whole situation. When they are con-
quered the biggest operating expense
will be done away with, and all delay
and hindrance to navigation will be
gone. What then, are the prospects
for complete and final conquest of the
slides at Culebra Cut?
VIII Conquer Them
The engineers who have been work
ing upon these slides through all the
who have thought again and again that
they had them stopped, only to meet
with fresh disbursements and begin
sert that the slides must and will be
ultimately conquered. This confident
assertion they base upon the fact that
repose.. AS new material breaks away
from the mountain at the top of the
slides. while that lowest down pushes
into the canal itself. the angle of the
slope is being constantly made smaller.

perhaps, would take. centuries. But
there must be a point at which the
material of the slides will reach its
natural angle of repose
Long ago. the slides had been reduc-
ed to an angle at which almost any
known material would stand, but still
for some mysterious reason they NOV
ed This fact is explained upon the
ground that the material of the slides
Is not homogeneous. Masses of solid
material are slipping over other masses

the engineers insist any material on
earth, no matter how composed. has
some angle of repose. and that in time
this will be reached. In eighteen
months, at the present rate of work,
according to these engineers, the slides
will be practically stopped. In three
years they will be inert forever This,
of course. is only a prophesy. but 1T is
made with the utmost confidence and is
based on years of study and experience
at the cut. It's fulhllment will mean
the final triumph of the greatest liberty
man has ever taken with nature.
