Part III. . nv col. ;i:oit(ii: v. goitthals. Conis of Knlnevrs, United Stales Army, Cluiirnian ami Chief KnineoT Isthmian Canal Commission. (Copyrighted. 1913, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association in the United istates. Great Britain, France and Germany.) An earth dam across the Chagrres at Gatun impounds the water of the river and creates the lake which constitutes the highest level of the. Panama canal. The dam Is 7,500 feet lohg over all, measured along the top. It in 2.10O feet wide at tho base, 308 feet through at the water surface, and 100 feet wide at the top, which Is 115 feet above sea level. It crosses two valleys separated by a hill. Tho dimensions of the dam have been criticised as excessive and unwarranted, but its designers considered It desirable. In view of the amount of material available, that ample provisions bo made against every force which may affect its safety, and that a barrier bo made, so that the layman, without engineering knowledge, would recognize its stability. It extends from the hill in which the locks are constructed to Spillway hill, thence alons the spur or hog-back of the hill on the west side of tho valley. The locks are in pairs, so that if any lock is out of service navigation wiil not bo interrupted. Thu?f also, when all the locks are in use, the passago of shipping will be expedited bv using one set of locks for tho ascent and tho other for thft descent. The locks are 110 feet wide and have usable lengths of 1.000 feet. The. y-stem of tilling adopted consists of a culvert in each side wall feeding laterals perpendicular to the axis of the lock, from which are openings upward into the lock chamber. This system distributes the water as evenly as possible over the ntire horizontal area of the lock and reduces the dlsturlwane in the chamber when the latter is being filled or emptied. The middb of separating wall contain a single culvert of the same area as the culverts in the side walls, which feods in both directions through laterals controlled by valves designed to operate against a head from either direction. This arrangement permits communication between the chambers of twin locks, fo that water may be passed from one lock to the other of the yalr. effecting a saving of water. The entire lock can be filled or emptied, uslnc one culvert, in K minutea and 42 seconds, and in snven minutes and ol seconds when both culverts are used. The lock gates are of the miterlng tvpe. double leaf, straight Rates, varying in height from 4f feet seven inches to 7 3 feet: the length of each leaf is about 6 5 feet. It has leen accepted as a fundamental fesuro of the design that at ouch Ilight of locks there must alwavs b two barriers separating thft high level from the level next oelow. To earn this out. two sots of miterin? gates are placed at the upper and two at the lower end of each of the uppermost locks in each flight. In addition, a chain device is usd to guard tho barrier gates against accident and son controlled as to bo

capable of checking a ship of 10,000 tons moving at the rate of live miles an hour. More than 95 per cent of the vessels navigating the high seas are less than 600 feet in length, and this has been taken as the determining factor for the location of intermediate gates, which aro introduced in the design to pave both time and water. For the protection of the intermediate gates against vessels using a smaller length of chamber a chain barrier is to be 'installed. Guide piers are provided both upstream D.nd down, to which vessels will, tie before entering the locks. Electric towing machinees will be used for towing vessels into and controlling their passage through the loks by means of lines or cables attached to what may be considered the four corners of the ship. Even with all these precautions accidents may happen, and emergency dams are provided at the head of each llight of locks, consisting of swing bridges, which can be thrown across the lcVks in case of an accident which makes a" connection between the top level and the level below; wicket girders aro let down from these swing bridges, supported by a sill at the bottom and the horizontal truss work of the bridge at the top. These wicket girders act as runways for gates, which

Atlanta. Ca.. April 2 4. 1913. "When I received the samples of Kesinol oap and Ileslnol Ointment my face was covered with pimples which defied other creams, soaps and cosmetics. They were a source of constant humiliation to me, coming in contact with many strangers as 1 do, as a business woman. "By the time I had finished a cake of Ileslnol Scp and half a Jar of Itesinol Ointment, my skin was soft as velvet, and as smooth. My, friends were stunned, and everyone asked me what I had done. When I told them, I think they hardly believed it. for the transformation was simply wonderful. "Since then I have been using Ileslnol Soap and shall never be without it again, for I have learned the delights of a clear, soft,' beautiful complexion that may be attained by its constant use."

are lowered and gradually stop the How. In tho Pacific division the work consisted of the construction of duplicate locks at Pedro Miguel, overcoming a 0-foot diftenmce of level, with the necessary dams; two locks in flight, also in duplicate, at Mirallores, connected with the adjacent hills by ono earth and one concrete dam; excavating the channels between the locks to the required depths, and the excavation of the channel to proper width to deep water in the Pacific. The Miratlores locks are two in flight, overcoming the difference in level between the Mirallores lake and tho sea level section. The maximum lift for these locks is about 65 feet. The relocated Panama railroad was pushed forward so as to keep pace with canal construction work. Under the Spooner act the president was authorized to construct fa canal through a commission consisting of seven members. In January, 1905, the secretary of war, in a letter to the president, calkM attention to this faulty organization. In 1907 the president simplified matters by comfhning tho duties of chairman and chief engineer in one person, arid later the secretary of war vested the powers of the governor of the Canal Zone in the same person, thus eliminating the friction that had previously existed between these three functionaries. Authority was still further concentrated by an executive order in January, 190S, and out of which the final organization resulted. The chief engineer's office was divided into three divisions. The first hail charge of designs of masonry and lock structures, including valves, lock gates and protective devices, operating machinery, movable dams and spillway. The second had charge of the designs and construction of drydocks and coaling stations, of all questions that arose concerning shops, buildings, municipal improvements, estimates, allotment of funds, rates of pay and cost keping. The third had charge of meteorology, river hydraulics, general surveys not pertaining to any of tho construction divisions, and special investigations. Reporting directly to the. chairman were the heads of the departments of sanitation, civil administration, law, examination of accounts, disbursements, the quartermaster's and subsistence departments, and the purchasing department in the United States. Generally speaking, employes were selected on account of their special fitness for the work in hand and were then unhampered in their methods of securing definite results, thus bringing out to its fullest extent individual effort and brain power. As a consequence each man had a personal interest in the work and seemed imbued with the idea that the success of the enterprise depended on him. The spirit of enthusiasm and of loyalty among the canal workers strikes- forcibly every one who visits the Isthmus and convinces the doubling how the canal was built. The time required for completing the lock type of canal was estimated by the hoard of which made its report in January !tn6. at nine years, in accordance with which the work should be completed bv Jan. 1. 1915,

and this is still retained as the date for the olficial opening. Much has been said and predicted as to the commercial value of the canal to the United States. In this connection it must be remembered that the commercial shipping of this country never required the canal. The trip of the Oregon in 1898 tettled the question of the advisability of constructing an Isthmian canal, and had the canal been built at that time, thereby saving the trip around the Horn, there is no questioa that it would have been agreed generally that the canal, even, at an expenditure of $37 5,000,000; was worth-while. With properly regulated tolls, and with facilities for fully equipping, supplying ,and repairing ships, the Panama route would offer many advantages and bring to it a suiliciently remunerative return to pay not only for the operating expenses, but to gradually absorb the debt which the United States has incurred by its construction. It has been asserted in many quarters that the locks might be destroyed by ono or wo men placing dynamite or other high explosives in them. In order to aecomplishe the destruction of the locks it would be necessary to place the charge very carefully in them. To do that would take time, and what would our men be doing in the meantime? One man could not carry a suificient quantity to destroy the locks. You would have to locate the charge behind a gate and in a certain place behind the gate In, order to disable the canal, and you must destroy the canal. I cannot imagine what people operating the canal and the men having charge of its defense would be doing in the meantime. GEO. W. GOETHALS. (THE END.)
