Elactric Locor'totives of Unique Da- sign, With a Cog Rail Syatem, Ar« Used For Towing Purposes—Safe¬ guarding the Lock Walls and GilTaa.
Fortv electric locomotives of unique «lc!<lgu are used ilo tow shipping through (be huge locks of the Paimma cannl. When tlie cau.'ii was being planned It was apparent tbat tbe vnrl¬ ous winch und capstan systems In vogue for towing ships tbrougb exist¬ ing ctintils and locks would not do at all for Panama, .\fter a thorough study of the entire problem of maneu¬ vering ships tlirough the locks at Pan¬ ama it wns evident that they could not safely proceed through tiie locks under their own power and that a substitute for the siii|)'H power shuuld embrace the following re(|iiirenients:
.Vbiiity to place (be ship in proper re¬ lation to tlie lock.
Ciipiibillly for keeping the sbip in ita course.
Accelerating and retarding the ship without nipttning the iines.

has a length of uine miles,, and reach¬ es Pedro Miguel, wbere It enters a lock and Is lowered thirty feet. Then It passes tbrougb Miraflorcs lake for a distance of one aiid one-balf miles until It reaches Mlraflores, wbere It Is lowered flfty-flve feet through two locks to the sea level, after wbicb it passes out Into the Paclflc through an eight and one-balf mile channel.
The main features of all the lock sites are Identical, and the following brief description of tbe Gatun locks, with spe<-lal reference to tbe arrange ment of the towing tracks, ship chan¬ nels. Inclines and approaches, gives a clearer conception of tbe towing scheme in general.
There are two channels at Gatun, one for tratBc in each direction. The channels are separated liy a center wall, the total length of which is 6,330 feet. Tbere ure two systems of tracks, one for fowhig and the other for the return of the ele<'tric l<K'omotlves when returning idle. This, however, refers only to tbe outer walls. For tbe cen¬ ter A^all there is only one return track In common for both the towing tracks. The towing trucks are naturally placed ne.xt to the chaunel side, and the sys¬ tem of towing utilizes normally not less thnn fotir locomotives running along the lock walls. Two of them are opposite oui'h other in advance of the vessel, and Iwo run opjioslte each oth¬ er following the vessel. The number of locomotives is. however, increased when the tonnage of the ship de¬ mands it.
Cublos exteiiil from the forward lo- coniotiv(>s and conii(>ct with the port and starboiird sides, resi>cctlvely, of tho ve.s.sel noar tbe bow, and other ca¬ bles connect the rear locomotives with tho port and stiiriioiifd (piartors of the voss<-l. The lengths of the various ca- blos are adjusted by a spinial winding drum on the lo<'Oiiiotive fo place the vt.issol siiiisUmtiaily in midchannel. WIkmi Uie leading loconiotlvos are start¬ ed thoy tow the vessel, while the trail¬ ing locoiii'iii\es follow antl keep the ca¬ bles taut. Ily changing tlio lengtlis of the ro.'ir cables tiio vessel can bo guid¬ ed, nnd to stop the vessel nil the loco¬ niotlvos ."ire slowed down nnd stopped, thus bringing tbo rear locomotives in action to retard tho ship. Therefore, the Vessel is always under complete control (luito indopondent of its own power, whicii is not used, and tlio dan¬ ger of injury to the lock walls and gatei? is consoqtientiy very greatly les-
SOtKll.
Theso towing tracks have a specially desi;.'iio<l rack rail extending the entire ienglh of Hie tnick betwwn the rails. It is througli tills rnck that the Itico- motlve exerts the tractJoii necessary for iii'opelling large ships tind climbing the stoop ln<'lines. When tlie locomo¬ tive ro.'ichos one of the inclines botween the locks, tho gradt! of wliicli may be t-.-i nuidi ns 44 per cent, or when it Is towing a ship, tile cog rail system Is iitili'/ed to oTiiiiile the locomotivo to climli the griitle tiiiil in the other case to esoi't traetion necessary for pulling the shiips. Tho co<.' or rack rail is laid hctwoen the track rails and the loco¬ motive is provided Willi a cog wheel or r;ick pinion t<> enjiiigo the rail.—Elec¬ tric News.
ROYAL PORTRAITS FOUND.
Princes Wlio Talked With Cheops and Saw Pyramids Rise Excavated.
Boston.—Four portniit lioads of an- cit'iit Egyptian princes, discovered in excavation of the royal eonietery at Giza, wili be sent lo tlio Roslou Mu¬ seum of Flno Arts, acoording to word from Dr. George A. Iloisner, iu charge of explorations for tho museum in Eg.vpl.
Thoy nre [lart ol' a group oJ eight uu- earthod In a pit previously exaiiiined by a European arciitiooiogist and sup- [losetl to hiivo been oxliaiisted. Four will bo iihicod in tlio museum at t.'airo. Dr. Reisnor writes:
•'The importaiico of tli(>se portrait."» from the iirtist'+c. the liistoriciil and lho iiiofoly huiuaii point of view makes file groups u find tilinost equal to tbe group of .«;tatues fonnd in the Mycerl- nus leniplos.
"Tile men and ¦women whose faces tlioy show us bnd spoken with t^beoiis 1111(1 Cheplirou and had seen the flrst and second pynimids in liuilding."
Dr. Reisnor thinks tbat some of those portrnlts support (ho theory that Egyp¬ tian rulers of tho foifrth dynasty, 2900- 27.V1 If. v.. bad iiogro lilood.
Ono of (ho heads of a princess he de- scrihos !is "of a distinctly negroid typo."
An Anecdote of Greeley. A call w.'is tince made by a dozen noted artists of the Academy of I>e- sign in ISTU on Horace Greeley. Mr. Clarence Cook, then the art critic of tlio Tribune, bad been saying tilings about the noudemy exhibition whicii causod the venerable chiefs of tbat e.stiiblishinent to boil wltli indignation. One day a comniittee went down to the Tribune to complain. Mr. (ireeley. hflviug ll-ileiiwi l» siilencc to what theae gentieinou htul to sny. looked up from his desk, a twinkle In hla eye, and said, witli bis iiecullar nasal falsetto: "Gentieniou, 1 Judge from your re- mark.s that Mr. Cook's articles are widely read. Tbey wlll therefore con tinue to be printed In the Tribune. GockI morning."
