, Washington, July 16. The Isth
mian canal project naturally divides
Itself Into, two parts. At the two
ends they, are simply; digging big
ditches 45 feet, deep andOO reel
wide, which will have the same, sur
face level as the ocean Itself. On
the Atlantic side this big ditch
starts at deep water In Union bay
and extends inland seven miles to
Oatun. On the Pacific "side,:, it
starts at deep water and tndKto
Miraflores, a dist&pco of five miles.
From this It will be seen that ' ap
proximately one-fourth of the rf-hole
canal will be a bl sea level ditch.
For the remaining 3 8 miles of the canal
it Is necessary to have the surface of
the water 85 feet higher than that of
the sea level ends of the canal In order
to get ships safely across the big con
tinental divide at Culebra. To get this
the engineers have planned a great dain
at Oatun. on the Atlantic side, and
two relatively smaller ones at the Pa
cific side, one at Pedro Miguel, called
bv the Americans "Peter McGIll, and
the other at Miraflores. These dams
will make a vftst lake shaped some

Site of Dam.
The Oimgres flows down through a
valley which gradually widens as it
nears the sea. At Oatun this valley Is
about a mile ide. It terminates en
tirely here, and the hills which form
It lna themselves In a coastal plain.
It Is across the valley at this point
that they are . building - the Oatun dam
and Its accompanying locks, 'this dam
will be a veritable mountain of mud
more, than a mile long and a half mile
wide r.t the base. It will be 135 feet
high, readv to dispute the passage of
tne. grim-old Chngres, taking1 from 'Its

Znrlneers' Xaperlments.
Hut even this experiment a, thorough
enough one for any commercial firm in
the world to accept the deductions from
It as established facte does not eatlafy
the army engineers. They have ar
ranged a large number of auxiliary ex
periments. In one of those they nave
an iron cylinder, some four feet high
and some eight inches in diameter. Into
this thoy have put three feet of the
earth of which they propose to build
the big dam. They have subjected this
to all degrees of water pressure up ifi
60 pounds to the square lncn. xei even
with this tremendous weight of water
against it the amount that seeps
through is only an occasional drop. Of
course. It naturally follows, so plainly
that even the layman cannot fall to see
It, that if only an occasional drop seeps
through three feet of the-materlal with
a pressure equivalent to-a head of 115
feet of water, there can be no danger
of seepage through 2,000 feet of the
material under the pressure pf a head
of only 85 feet of water. The Im-
ferviousness of the material which Is
o be used in the dam has been proven
In so many ways that no man who has
seen these proofs can doubt It.
' Critics of Sam.
The critics of the dam, most of whom.
by the way. have never been over the
ground, assert that the earth which is
in cntixHriita the foundation of the dam
Is filled with Innumerable underground
springs, and that It bears so much wa
ter aa to make It unfit for a dam site
of such proportions. Here again facts
are made to answer opinions. The alte
has been delved Into by dozens and
dozens of deep wells dug by the en
gineers. These wells have been so lo
cated that If there were underground
wells, streams and springs, they would
have been discovered. But they have
never come to light The water which
the engineers find Is a negligible quan
tity. A hundred dams have been built
In the United States where there was
five times as much underground water
and no one thought of questioning the
sites.
If the Culebra cut is the backbone of
the canal, the Gatun dam Is Its most
vital orgaij. Without that dam the
canal would be out of commission for
three-fourths of Its length, and for the
most part it would be high and dry.
So theyare taking every possible pre
caution to make every detail of the
work perfect. Not content with dig
ging dozens of wells several hundred
feet to ascertain Just what there Is be
low, they are now beginning to dig a
test pit. This pit Is 20 feet square.

The concrete which will be required

spend several months In a campaign or

received by Dr. Paul Kaplan, chairman

its vagragt waters will he sentenced to
the canal workhouse and when that is
filled to overflowing, they will be in
vited to 'leave town" at onto by the
spillway route.
Another Problem.
After we have the lake, the problem
Is to get ships up into It and down
out ot it. They . cannot go over the
dam spillway like a piece of driftwood,
neither can they get up Into It as a
fish wiggles himself up .over a mill
ilam. Here in where the locks come in.
They are nothing more complex than
a sort of Brobagandlan marine stair
way for ships to climb. At Oatun there
are three of these gigantic steps 1.000
feet wide In tW clear. And as Bhlpa
do not like to pass on a single stairway
they have put a partition in the middle
of the big staircase so that they do
not need to run Into one another. This
partition Is no small boarded up affair,
either. It Is of concrete and Is 50 feet
across at the base and tapers up to
20 feet. Even with this bin pnrtltlon
in the middle of the staircase thev
will not -have to r'lb against the wall,
since they have 110 feet In the clear.
When a ship comes In from the At
lantic and wants to get Into Gatun
lake in order to make her
the Isthmus, she wl
lower lock. The big water gates will
be closed behind 'her and water will
be admitted Into tho lock from the dam
above through Innumerable holes In the
floor. When she has been lifted to the
level of the next lock she g-oes Into
that one and the operation Is repeated
until she finds that she . has climbed
un 85 feet In three steps. A ship de
siring to go down has the topmost
lock's gates opened and she g-oes Into
It. Then the water Is allowed to flow
into the next one until they have a
common water level. Then the gate
nhead is opened and the ship goes Into
this lock where the performance la re-
featej until she finds herself at sea
evel again.
