Sun Lifts Much Water From Lake


Evaporation of water from Gatun
lake, canal zone, reached a new high
record during the month of March,
this year, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Calculations show that the
sun withdrew SPAS, 100000 cubic feet
of water from the body, the equivalent
of 1918 cubic feet a second for the
period of 81 days. This was one cubic
foot a second in excess of the volume
of water passing through, the pen
stocks of the Gatun hydroelectric sta
ton, which, during the same month,
produced 4,6S1, 900 kilowatt hours of en-
ergy. This in turn shows the loss of
potential current due to the suns eff
feet.

Nathaniel Ripple had a terrible ex-
perience one afternoon when he was
about twelve years old. He opened the
doors of the buggy house and was
backing the buggy in when the wind
blew both doors shut. He propped
them open with small sticks, but just
as he reached the buggy tongue n
of the sticks fell and the doors came
around, far enough to stop the buggy.
A moment later Grandpa Ripple, who
had just come down to the barn, said:
