FAMOUS ENGINEER SAYS
CANAL WILL BE SAFE
That the Panama canal will not
bo swallowed up fey an earthquake
in -he future and that the trouble
some slides now oeing encountered
will eventually be conquered aud
tho great waterway made an uu
| qualified success, is tho opinion of
[ Donald F. MacDonald, formerly
| canal geologist sud now mining
1 gologfct for the United States j
J Bureau of Mines.
Mr. MacDonald, who spent sever
al years on the lrthmus making a
careful study as to fragility of the
earth's crust, has just made an
official report to the effect, while
4hrough seismic disturbances* the
whole isthmus is rising at the rate
if u-ree feet every hundred years,
this will not necessarily injure the
canal. As far as he sees, it will
merely mean a little additional ex
pense in the dredging of the big
wateiway. The cause of this rising, j
he says, is the sinking of the
ocean bottom outside the Isthmian j
shore waters. Everytimo there is
a little movemeni of the ocean bot
tom, the Isthmus, to be in harmony, !
joins in. He alsc suggests that if
tne rising inotiou bo rapid, then
there would be serious danger for |
• he canal, but, that from what
has happened in recent geologic j
time, it may be concluded that the
canal is not in any- appreciable dan
ger from the instability of tliQ is- ■
mian land. The rising of the Is-1
tUmus, however, has been respous- ■;
ible for the many slides that have |
been encountered, In that the mo
tion ol the ground haa dislocated
and crushed thq rocks; leaving them
weak and unstable,.
"At any rate," says Mr. McDon
ald, "so far as tl'u digging of the
Culebra Cut is concerned, these
faults have increased the cost
of the canal several mlilloa. lod
lars.
As the strength, "of the famous
Gatun dam has been, brought into
question on a number of occasions,
Mr. MacDonald refers to it Aa somg
length, "it was found that
Gatun rocks are relatively solid
and compact and suitably for foun
dations for heavy; structures. How
ever, some writers, even, recently,
have affirmed that the Gatun rocks
wou!d soften into mud when Gatun
lake filled, and thus thq locks and
da id would sink their foundations
and be damaged >r destroyed. Op
inions of this sort spring from a
rivid imagination and not from
tacts,
"if the weight of Gatun lake i3
joing to force water into the Gatun
formation and can causa i* to soften
into a semi-mud that will allow the
lam to sink, then ail tin; isiands
a Gatun, lake and ol! t'ae hills
irouud it, which are of the same
,'ormation, should also, have their
,>ases softened th.e same way, and
>ink into the depths. Reports
hat the Gatun dam and locks are
u any danger from sinking have
tot the slightest foundation on
;eologic data."

Here is aa lnterestng Btory that |

a story with a point which will s
come straight home to many of us. |
h. A. Allen, i>alnter, 3731 Alam

"From some time I "was troubled by
pains over my kidneys, caused by , |
disordered kidneys. Th§ troubla 8
waa brought on by the turpentino !
used in my work, effecting my kid- k
neya The kidney secretions were -
highly colored and iregular in pas- S
sag«. One box of Doan's Kidney i
Pills put me in good shape."
(Statement giveu i^July 1909). p
Ou June 6, 1915, Mr. Alien said: |

The phrase "dead as u doornail" orig
inated in thin way. Jn early days. j
when door knockers were common, the
plate upon which t:te knocker strurk
was sometimes called u nail, lu the
course of years it wan struck so often
that all life was suj>i>used to be knock
ed out of it. Therefore when It be
came necessary to refer to anything
hopelessly lifeless It was merely an
emphatic expression to say that it was
