LEAVES FROM A COURIER REPRESENTATIVE'S NOTE BOOK. Seeing the "Big Ditch' 'Directions in the Canal Zone Description of the Canal Gaton Lake and DamThe Gatun Locks The Famous Culebra Cut Heretofore very little has been said concerning the courtesies' extended the members of the National Editorial Association while they were in Panama. The first afternoon after our arrival, Mr. Parrott, our Corresponding Secretary, announced that all persons representing papers were invited to go to Col. Goethals office at Culebra on a special train. The party was made up of the editors, and about five women who were really interested in the construc tion work of the canal. I considered myself very fortunate to be permitted to join the party, for in Col. Goethals7 office we saw a miniature model of the Panama Canal, which gave a mo3t compre hensive idea of the whole thing. It was a perfect reproduction of what the completed canal will be. A small boat passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific through this miniature canal, was raised and lowered at the locks iust as the vessels which will begin passing about 1915. Seeing this model and having everything explained by Col Goethals, we were pretty well prepared toseetbecana during the next few days. Arrangements had been made for a special train for the editorial party and each morning we left Pan ama City about six in the morning in order to see the work in the coolest part of the day. During the time we were in the Canal Zone we traveled 262 miles on a special train seeing the canal, and as I have said before the distance across is only 47 miles. I Aa CM CMd, Mr. George Wemble showed' The Express this week a Peruvian' coin which irta given him by his- grand rather, tbs late Tyson WomMe,, 35' years go. This piece of money is of silver ana was made in 1838i. It is nearly a large as an American silver dollar, bat of a different de sign. On the face of this coio in 1lain letters and Scores is the- fbl owine: "lO1 O. and 20 G." It is I said that there are only three a-ther J sows in existence- like this one, and that a premiam has been offered for them. Mr. Wamble wrote parties in New York that he bad the awn. They replied and asked him to for ward the piece off money to them: teat they would pay bim f 50 for it. He decided to ketvtne coin.' ford Express.

Directions in the Canal Zone. j The course of the canal is from northwest to southeast- I cid j not believe this hefore seeing it and studying geography over agam, ; but it is true. The Isthmus of Panama curves almost in the shape of a goose's- neck.and brings the canal almost directly soutlfof FUts burg, Pa. Panama City on the Pacific ocean is east of Colon on the Carribbean Sea. An accurate map will show that this is a true statement, and after consulting it The Courier readers will be pre pared to hear that I really saw the sun rise in the Pacific ani set I in the Atlantic the same day. This reminds me that while in Pan ama our attention was called to our being on the south side of the moon. Here at home the moon is either nearly over your head; or a little to the south of you- Down there it was north of us. The "Southern Cross," which is only visible in Southern skies, was visible every night while we were in Panama and great inter est was taken in studying the heavenly bodies, hardly as much as was later shown in Halley's comet, though. Description of the Canal. The canal is to be fifty miles in length from deep water in the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific The minimum width of the canal prism is 300 feet. This point is in the Culebra cut, through Isastardly Dime.

It will have a summit elevation of 68 feet above the sea, to be reached by a flight of three locks at Gatun on the Atlantic side and three on the Pacific, one located at Pedro Miguel, the other two at Miraflores. All of these locks will be in duplicate. That is, have two chambers side by side; each will have a usable length of 1,000 feet and a width of 110 feet In entering the canal from the Atlantic side, a ship will proceed from deep water in Linon Bay to Gatun Locks, a distance of about seven miles through a sea level channel five hundred feet wide. On the Pacific side there is a cor ' responding sea level channel to Miraflores nearly eight miles long. Fifteen of the fifty miles of the canal will be at sea level At the Gaton locks ships will be carried up to an elevation of 85 feet above sea level in three lifts to the level of the water in Gatun lake. Each lift will raise the vessels 23 1-3 feet At Pedro Miguel on the Continued on third. pge. AwAfnn. Root fulfills almost every-' wish in over. coming1 Aeamatism, pain inrtfae back, kid neys,.
