The Flat Arch of Panama.

Architects have been known to make
the journey to Colon in the Canal Zone
for the sole purpose of examining the
ancient fiat arch which entered into
the construction of st. Dominic S
Church. a seventeenth century relic,
now ruin. except the marvellous arch.
The latter is single span of about so
feet with only the terminal columns for
support and in addition to this, the arch
has so little curve to 1t that it seems to
be almost fiat Tradition has it that
it fell three times in the course of con-
struction. but on the fourth occasion it
is said that the monk who designed it
stood under it in prayer as it was fin
ished. It's fall at that time would have
killed him. The surrounding structure
is in ruins, but the arch remains. It's
existence was threatened recently when
a real estate operator secured possession
OF the property, but to save it the
municipal council made an appropria-
ton to purchase the land from him.

SEARCH IS FUTILE
FOR CAR LINE PLAN
Utilities Commission Takes
Steps to Get New Copy
of Bibbins Report. j..

The plan for rerouting street cars in
Washington developed by j. Rowland
Bibbins, an engineer employed during
discussion of merger plans by Harley
P. Wilson, has been finally given up for
lost by the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Bibbins testified on certain fea-
lures of his plan at the hearings before
the commission when the merger was
being discussed, and the plan itself was
filed with the commission some time
later. Following that. it was borrowed
by the Bureau of Efficiency for use in
a study the bureau was making of the
merger for the Senate District commit
tee. The bureau claims 1t returned the
plan to the commissions Offices, but the
plan has failed to materialiZe, in spite
of careful search through all the
files. When a discussion on the plan
arose at the commissions executive
meeting today it was decided to en-
deavor to secure another copy.
This was the only matter discussed
at the commissions meeting having any
bearing on the Capital Traction Co. S
request for higher fares in the District.
The rest of the time was given over to
routine matters.
The commission was in receipt of a
letter from the District Commissioners
stating that 1t would be impossible to
house the new members of the commits

Radium Saves Rubber Factory.

One of the hazards of the rubber
factory is that as the sheets pass over
rollers for compression, electric sparks
are often given off and at the same
time the air is filled with inf1ammable
vapors This combination is a dangerous
one and often causes a confiagration.
In a foreign factory 1t has been discov-
cred that this menace is removed by the
presence of a tiny capsule of radi,im in
the presence of the rolling machinery.
1t is explained that the radium has
some action on the air in its vicinity
which enables electricity to pass slowly
and harmlessly from the rollers and
thus saves the factory from occasional
destruction.

Changed Diamond Cutting.

The American interest in gems has
resulted in this country becoming a
wonderful market for precious stones.
Diamond cutting, formerly done in
Europe exclusively, is now largely done
in this country. American ingenuity
has revolutionized the ancient art of
diamond cutting, for centuries accom-
plished by veteran workmen through
rubbing two stones together. Now. how
ever, the American plants are equipped
with ingenious saws and polishing de-
vices which do the work much faster
and more economically, at the same
time bringing out all the latent beauties
of the stone.

Houses Of the lower town extend UP to

of rock slipped from the cliff face be-
very disastrous. for at that time the
greater and most important part of

said today.
Concilmen feel it is unnecessary
70 create an emergency fund to
meet expenditures under the new
plan.
League leaders asked establish
ment Of the contingency fund to
safeguard against a legal tieup of
funds which would hamper the
proper working of the manager plan.
Reminded that the city manager
law permits commissioners to draw
not more than $4,000 salary a year
and leaves the managers salary to
the discretion of the commission,
Harris said:
Councllmen have gone along here
all right on $500 salary. We must
work out this budget as if every
thing was going to continue. I'm
not in favor of appropriating money
when ] don't know who will spend
it." Harris declared.
The 1880 budget lists the salary
for Councilmen. who will be COM
misSionerS under the new form OF
government at $500 a year and the
salary OF the mayor, who will be
succeeded by a manager. at $500. It
was proposed to meet the increase
in salary and expenditures for other
items not budgeted from the con-
tingenCy fund.
John F. White. councilman and
manager leader, said the council
learned the law is flexible. per-
hitting the new commission to
transfer money from one depart
ment to another. This would make
it. possible for the new commission
10 redistribute the 1880 sppropria-
