BAD MORTAR FRISCO'S FOE. Japanese Expert Charges Damage to Poor Building;. "Dishonest mortar a corrupt eonglomjration of sea sand and lime was responfcle for nearly all of the earthquake damage in San Francisco," says Dr. T. Nakaniura, professor of architecture of the imperial university of Tokio and one of the most distinguished members of the committee dispatched to San Francisco by the Japanese government to investigate the effects of tremblor and fire. Dr. Nakamura will sail on the Korea in a day or two to report his conclusions to his government. "I find," said Dr. Nakaroura, "that much of the damage to San Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction find the greater portion of the damage to the class A buildings by fire was the result of misguided use of hollow tiling and so-called fire blocks instead of concrete. There has developed as a result of the earthquake in San Francisco great prejudice against brick buildings. They are largely employed in Japan, where earthquakes of greater severity than the one experienced in this city are not uncommon. The secret of their success lie in the fV.ct that good mortar is used. The mortar should either be composed of one part cement to two parts of sand or one part cement, three of lime, and five of sani. The bricks should be thoroughly wet before being laid and when the morlar has set under these conditions a wall tecomes practically one stone. '

The rain-soaked ropes were alive with it and if we touched anything with our hands we received a shock or started a spark. The thunder came from back of us and rol'-ed away in front of us. All the time the rain fell in a perfect torrent. The storm started in at 9 o'clock and lasted until ! this morning. With every flash of lightning we -.ould see a decided change in the cloul formation about us. The winds blew the clouds into mountain shapes and hollowed out valleys, leaving here and there .gaps between the mountains and through the gaps tongues of flame would leap and continue to light up the spectacle."

Stevens desires that joiin r. btevexs, full approval sball be had of hir own plan before tbe work shall progress further. Outline of the Work. The Isthmus of Panama is it shape much like an elongated, letter S '.aid on its side. Its general direction is east and west. At the canal zone the isthmus Is forty wiles wide in a direct line; but the canal can not be built on a straight line, having several curves ATLANT I C n 1 THE ISTHMUS to accommodate itself to mountain spurs. A popular error is that one ocean has a higher level than the other. This is wrong, but there Is a difference of eighteen feet In the height to which the tides rise on the two sides of tbe isthmus. Hence, even if the canal were made at sea level, guard lock would have to bo built at each end. It has been proposed that there be five twii locks of concrete masonry along the canal route. Beginning at Colon harbor, the canal will be excavated for twenty-four miles through the marshy lowlands of the Chagres River to Bohio. So far it will be at sea level. At FACTS ABOUT THE CANAL. Estimated cost of the Fanama canal, $200,000,000. Amount paid French company for title, $10,000,000. Amount paid Panama government for perpetual Ise of canal lands, $10,000,000. Length of canal, forty-six miles. Canal width varies from 230 to 500 feet at the top, the bottom width being 150 feet. There will be five twin locks of concrete masonry, each 73S feet long and

Then comes a mile and a half of the "Culebra" cut The greatest depth of this cut, from the Lill summit to the bottom of the canal, is about 2Ö0 feet The amount of rock and earth to be .removed in the .seven miles of excavation through the Emierador and Culebra cuts is estimated at 43.000.000 cubic yards. These cutV terminate at the southeastern end of the summit level creatJ y 3o BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE CANAL, ed by the Bohio dam, at Pedro Miguel, thirty-eight miles from Colon. At this point, it to thought, there will be two double locks, which will bring the level of the canal down to about twentyeight feet above mean sea level. ,A mile and a half further on toward the Pacific Is Miraflores, where there will perhaps be another double lock, which will let vessels down to the level of the Pacific. i Commercial Event of the Age. By dividing a hemisphere, man will create a new commerce of the world, and bring the countries of both sides of the globe into closer relationship. Next to girdling the glule with submarine cables, therefore, this work of cutting through the ' Isthmus of Panama will prove, It is hardly too much to say, the most important commercial event of the ago. The annual cost of operation will l about $2,(Hi,tfK.. but It Is expected to yield a revenue In tolls of nearly $10.000,000. The revenue producing functions of the canal will be minor as compared with its services in promoting the industrial and commercial progress and general welfare of the United States. But while we speak of Its commercial and political advantage to (he United States, we must also remember its worth to the world and to the progress of civilization. Survived Awful DlnnMer. W. N.
