Its channel depth varies from 85 to 45 feet; Its channel width from 300 to 1,000. The Gatun dam, biggest in the world, is 8,000 feet long, 2,000 feet wide and its crest Is 103 feet above sea level. The Culebra Cat is nlue miles long. There are six double locks, three pairs in flight at Gatun (Atlantic side), with a combined lift of 85 feet; on the Pacific side one pair at Pedro Miguel, 30 feet; two pair at Miratiores, 55 feet (combined). Each Is 1,000 feet long and 110 feet wide. Time of passage Is: through canal 5 to 8 hours; through locks, 3 hours. The entire excavation was nearly 235,000,000 cubic yards. Forty thousand men were employed. Cement was used to the amount of 4,"00,000 barrels. The total cost was about $375,000,000. •It is 2,023 miles from New York to the Panama canal, and 3,277 miles from San Francisco to the E'anama canal. Distance saved in miles: New York to San Francisco, 9,540. *San Francisco to Liverpool, 7,393. So, in a generation, a newcomer among the nations has done what the rest of the world dreamed of for four centuries. If you have imagined the Panama canal to be just a big ditch connecting the two oceans, get rid of the idea. It isn't even a canal in the ordinary acceptance of the term. It consists principally of the biggest artificial fresh-water lake in the world perched up on top of the Isthmus. Let's take a voyage through from Cristobal to Balboa. Our ship is a big passenger vessel, we'll say, of 18,481 gross tons and 8,000 net tons, with 750 passengers and a crew of 500, including officers. Well, we enter the approach channel in Liraon bay, protected by a $5,000,000 breakwater. At Cristobal (Colon), our purser pays to Uncle Sam $12,000 (8.000 tons at $1.50). After about 7 miles of salt-water canal our ship arrives at the Gatfin locks. Here the ship is lifted by three locks 85 feet to Gatun lake in an hour, (.lttle electric "mules" do the towing In the locks. Then for 23 miles we steam along at full speed through Gatun lake, over a course marked by buoys and lights. Scores of islands, large and small, dot the lake. Then we enter Culebra Cut at Bas Obisco and steam nine miles to Pedro Miguel, where the lock drops us 30 feet to Miraflores lake, legs than two miles wide. At Miraflores two locks drop us 55 feet to salt water. Then after nine miles of canal we pass Balboa and Panama and emerge upon the Pacific, past four fortified islands. The whole trip through has taken us just seven and a half hours. And much of the 50 miles has been beautiful and every foot has been interesting. We have seen many things worth while, including ships from all the Seven seas. In short, we have had glimpses of the manifold activities of a peaceful anny of 12,000 on a bit of the United States set ^ down in a foreign land. This army, of which a third are Americans, handles a ten-mile strip across the Isthmus and has its own courts, schools, • jails, hospitals, health, police and fire departments, " hotels, clubs and even a prohibition enforcement unit. Now, the four great achievements of the Americans in digging the Pac&ina canal were these: Sanitation--Under the . French human life was, literally thrown away; even the Chinese coolies died like flies. Gen. William C. Gorgas exterminated the malarial and yellow fever mosquito and . made the Canal Zone safe for the white majj; the death rate is now Just about that of the United states. Excavation--The French would never have dug the camj.1 with their puny machinery. Speciallydesigned machinery of power that the world hac|. never seen enabled the Americans to make new records. Taming and harnessing of the Chagres--The canal crosses the bed of the Chagres a score of times. The rains of the Isthmus are torrential; in the old days the "Chagres would rise 40 or 50 feet In an hour and sweep everything before it. • The French had never solved this problem. The Americans solved it by building Gatun dam. The Chagres thereupon backed up and made a lake of 104 square miles, with n surface 85 feet above sea level. A rain over the 1.320 square miles of the Chagres basin can raise the waters of Gatun lake to abost 400 per cent in number of transits, and 500 per cent, in tolls and tons of cargo. The totals of the tenth (U. S. fiscal) year, which ended June 30. were: Transits, 5.230; tolls, $24,291,492; tons of cargo, C7.218.928. The receipts were $17,000,0'JO more than the expenditures. An analysis of the statistics for the ten years shows these Interesting facts: 25,032 commercial vessels, in addition to 2,"00 United States government ships without charge, have paid Uncle Sam $97,$02,818 In tolls on 107,910,991 tons of carjfo, an average of nearly $4,000 a vessel and 90 ce*»ts a ton. ° r-f What of the future of the Panama canal? How " great will be the Increase In traffic? How soon will the limit be reached? What wlir then be necessary? Interesting questions these! . Col. Jay J. Morrow, governor of the Canal Zone, ^believes that enlargement may not he necessary for 30 or 40 years, and that the profits of operation will take care of the costs of enlargement. Cnpt. A. W. Hinds, marine superintendent, thinks that the existing equipment may serve till 1950. Lieut. Col. Philippe Buneau-Varilla, a French engineer, has for 18 years adv'ocated a sea-level canal and thinks It will be necessary by 1944 to muke the change. Already the question of a new ^canal over the Nicaragua route is receiving attention at Washington.

Goethals of the Engineer through the spillway; in dry seasons there is always plenty to operate the locks The level of Gatun lake is maintained from Gatun dam clear through the Culebra Cut to the Pedro Miguel locks --32 miles. And finally the water of Gatun lake in its drop to sea level furnishes the hydroelectric power for the operation of the locks. Keeping open tnc Culebra Cut--This is a cut of nine miles through the backbone of the Isthmus. This backbone in places is weak. It is even squashy at water level. So the top slides Into the canal over the soft material. And the soft material Is squeezed up Into the canal by the weight, on top. Probably there have been 50 slides and 50,000,000 extra cubic yards have been dredged' out because of them. The worst is over now; soon the* slope will be so gradual that the slides will stop.

You often read in the newspapers that a plane was caught in an air pocket and the pilot was killed because he could not get out of it. That is not true, asserts Lieut Col. W. G. Shauffler, Jr., in Adventure Magazine ^AJr pockets are merely up-and-down air currents which are very much like ocean waves. X«« Wtl| find la flying that jrv* ham "smooth" days and "rough" days. The modern high-powered, high-speed plane goes through these air waves very much as a fast ocean liner cuts through the water. The thing that happens when a pilot is thrown into a "spin" or a "stall" is that be loses flying speed, and In so doing does not have the driving force behind him to carry him to safety. If '<*§ Is fetch e&oecfc h« witt be safe, fcr the plane will drop Into a dive, the slip-stream will act on the controls and the plane will again be under control. Careless pilots, obsolete planes and low flying cause most of the deaths, and not afr pockets.
