Panama. Famous Arch.

One OF the most famous fiat arch

ruin Of the church Of Santo Domingo,
Panama City, and has stood for nearly
three centuries. The arch has an un-
supported span Of thirty-six feet Eve
inches and stands twenty feet from
the ground. Tradition has It that the
Dominican monks planned and built
their own church. This arch was
near the front Of the entrance and
supported the organ loft, and It fell
down three times as soon as the sup
ports were taken away. Then q monk
who was neither an architect nor an
engineer dreamed" an arch and drew
up q plan according to his vision.
When the arch was for the fourth
time completed the designer stood be
meath It while the supports were re
moved, stalking his life on his inspired
work. 1t stood and stin stands. The
church was destroyed by fire in 17SI,
