Nh Panama canal aneth forts and. Lureroard ood hail i ojund tinwthe theed ofthek snti, from gete engnerin st nditakTng pre amouns tha etyf.owaeob The Panama canal an te fortslest terms is an inland lake accessible at either end through locks. The few miles of channel between the looks and navigable water on either end are mere accessories to the canal. The great Culebra cut is important only be cause of the work in making it. The locks are the vital thing when the work is done. For these r-easons the board of for tification decided that it was betwveen these locks and the sea that the great defenses should be built. The high lands near the sea should be the loca Lion of the coast dlefense stations. The chief of these on the Atlantic side would be on Tore point, commanding Limon Bay and the entrance of the canal. Another battery would be lo cated acress the bay with the same command. On the Paciflc side the gr-eatest point of vantage would be Battle point, with a twin battery on the opposite side of the canal's mouth, 4 or possibly on the island of Culebra in the harbor. All of these points are en high ground and command the waters within ten miles of the mouth of the canal. Military authorities today declare that the coast defense is the most im pregnable of all fortifications. Hours of heavy bombarding from a powerful navy should have little effect upon it, * while in return the probabilities are that It would send many battleships to the bottom. The mainstay of the coast defense is the, disappearing gun. Those to be used at Panama are to be of 14-inch caliber, They will be placed back of fortifications which are nothing less than mountain ridges, for the coast vdefense station is sunken underground at the brow of some eminence. The ammunition, the stores, the men whc operate the guns, are all underground with many feet of castiron betwoer them and any intruding ob'ject. Two styles of guns .are the mair dependence of the coast defense, th( 14-inch guns and the rifled mortars The 14-inch guns adapted to coast do lenses lb the most powerful imple mont of war known. The missile tha It discharges weighs 1,640 pounds. I ~would be a good load for two horsei to drag. It is a steel jacket witi snost powerful explosives inside. Th4 gun is of such strength as to throv this missile a distance of ten miles -M - OCE/IN VAP Of ??AC CA/Y.AL Zay- Jmowm .OCAT//Y 2 fOR' TI/CA To/wJ An object the size of a battleship car actually be hit at that distance. The rifled mortars supplemeni these. The mortar is a gun that never appears above the breastworks. It re mains out of sight and drops its mis sile over the intervening embankment The missile takes a curve high int< the air, but its course is so calculated that it will drop upon the enemy Powerful bombs are dropped into the midst of the hostile camp at a dis tance of nine miles. The armor of the attacking vessel is avoided in thit case and the shell is dropped in he1 vitals. The fortifncation board plans thi building of breastwork fortification, about the locks where they might b< attacked by land. These works woul< be erected at either end of the canal In connection with them would be lai< the foundation of a camp. Sewer would be laid, water put in. Thes are the vital things in an army camp With this preparation it would be p)os sible at any time, having the sol'dieri available, to moet any land invasion Then it is planned to establish ai army post at Culebra, the highest an< healthiest point on the isthmus. Thi: camp will be pitched on the edge o the big cut opposite the town o Culebra. A bridge will be throwi across the cut to facilftate communi cation. Here quar ters will be pre pared for 5,000 soldiers. It will be model army post for the tropics. Ce mont will be the central idea in con structions, and hollow wvalls will Iont themselves to coolness. The moistur< will have no effect upon them ani ants may net devour them. The garrison would consist of fou regiments of infantry, one squadron c cavalry and three batteries of field at tillery. There would be some twely companies of the coast artillery--1,30 men. These it is contemplated quar toring near the Pacific end of th, canal, but they could be quickly tranm forred from one station to another. So it seems reasonable to surmis, that in the end the fortifications a Panama will be such as the world ha never before known. If the strongest of naval forces c the Pacific should attempt to att'ack fragment of our navy at Balboa, th Pacific terminus of the eanal, the gun of the coast defense could hold navy at bay until other battler were brought through the canal. same thing would be true if tI tack were made on the Atlanti with the process reversed. King Edward's Little Joke, Will Crooks, M. P., related an amui ing reminiscence of King Edward in lecture at F'ulham Town Hall laa night. "I wvas once at a court- function, said(. Mr. Crooks, "when King Edwar suddenly turned to me and said, 'Her is the King of Siam. Have you sp< ken to him?' "'No,' I replied. 'I have not bee introduced to him.' "King Edward said, "He knows good deal about European politics.' "'Oh, that may be,' I replied, 'b does he know anything about Sli meso politics?' "'God knows; I don't,' said Kin Edward, and- we had a good laugh t< gether over the king's little joke." London Express. Starting Something. "Well, what are you thinking abet now?"

Willard, Ky.-In a letter from this place, Mrs. ffe Graham says: "I was so weak I could hardly go. I suffered nearly every month, for three years, and often I would have to lie in bed. I had pains in my side, and would swell up, and my back hurt aw fully. When I began to take Cardul I weighed only 99 pounds. Soon, I be gan to feel a great deal stronger. Not long after, I weighed 115 lbs. Now I am doing my work, and am in good health. Cardul has done wonderful things for me. I feel like a new person. I will always praise Cardut to my friends. I recommended it to a neigh bor, and she is now looking fine." Fifty years of proof, has convinced us, and those who have tested it, of the value of Cardul, in womanly weak ness and disease.

A Spicy Subject. John Lane, the well-known publish er, said at a literary dinner in New York: "As an editor I find nobody so per sistent as the amateur contributor.

"An amateur said the other day to an editor I know: "'Allow me to submit this bear story.' " 'My readers don't care for bear stories,' said the editor. 'They want something spicy.' "'But 'this,' said the amateur, 'is a story about a cinnamon bear.'"
