NOT fnr from tho Atlantic en trnnco to tho Panama Canal iu n in i en nllo of old French dirt cars, nhandonod by tho Amer icans as unlit ror tno great under taking started by thorn In 1905. Piled high, ono upon tho othor, this mnx nf rnntv nnd llllssliallt'll Iron stands as a monumont to tho heroic but hopoless efrort or tne ironcn, headed by Ferdinand do Lossops, to nxiitnvo fnmo iiv iinlttncr the Atlan tic and Pacific with a sea-levol canal across tho isthmus or ranamo. It was tho dream of Ferdinand de Lessens, after his triumphal completion of the Suez Canal, to undortuke the construction of a canal across Panama. Financed by tho French government, together with largo prlvato subscriptions, Do Lessens, tho dreamer, began work on the Isthmus In 1879. Ship load after shipload of equipment was sent to Panama, while thous ands of men left France to tako up tho task of digging a great chan nel cross tho Isthmus. Do Lessens' n'ftn was a sea 'evo' canal, with no locks or dams. The tiny dirt cars of tho French hold scarcely a cubic yard of material. Thoy woro expected to take nil the dirt taken from tho cannl, which, according to their n'an, would de mand the entire channel to be dug GO feet lower than tho Amorlcan nlan required. Had all the French dirt cars on tho Isthmus been in dally use constantly slnco 1 880 thoy could not havo removed tho earth required to make a channel deon enough to unite tho oceans In a hundred years. Utterly hopeless as tho undertak ing was, thousands of tho French laborers. led by tho Impractical and Impulsive Do Lesseps, tolled ror years under conditions so frightful that tho human sacrifice was un paralled in tho history of engln eorlng. Yellow fever and other tropical diseases, constantly piov alent over tho entire Isthmus, claim ed a human toll so great that notli- lm nlinrt nf hnrntitiii rnnlil hnvn r.riimitnil flu. nn limn 1101 nt tlm work. Day nftor day tho remain ing workers would havo first to bury those who had fallon victim to tho fover before resuming tholr work on tho canal. How long human endurance would havo hold out against tlio flight fu! death rato will novor be known, for salvation camo at last to tho few who had not fallon vic tims to ono or another of the trop ical fevers. De Lessons' compnny went bankrunt. Well might these cars, so closely associated with tho tragic doaths of tho French canal workers, have been used as coffins. As the sun pets behind the hugo nllo of old equipment It casts Its shadow ovor tie graves of 25,000 men, sacrific ed In the Impractical undertaking. What Irony, that this great nllo ot abandoned cars, overgrown with tropical vegotatlon, should mark tho resting place of those, whoso last days were spent In a vain at tomnt to prevent tho cars from be ing abandoned as Junk.
