Panama pictures; nature and life in the land of the great canal . NATURE AND LIFE. 57 Canal operations; that has felt the thrill ofthe gigantic work which is going on allaround it, that Station is, surely. Empire,otherwise called Camacho, which beingonly one mile and a half distant from theCulebra Divide, is rendered a very impor-tant Section of the great InteroceanicWater-way. As the train hauls up to the PassengerDepot, this fact is evidenced immediatelyby the busy hum of things about the place—by the clink-clank-clink of the chains of themonster steam-shovels, the echoes of count-less hammers resounding through the air,the tooting of whistles in all directions, andby the distant boom of heavy charges ofdynamite, all of which are unmistakable in-dications that life is a strenuous one in thisparticular part of the country. Here,there are extensive Warehouses and well-equipped Machine-Shops, in addition towhich there is at present in the course ofconstruction, an Electric Light Plant,which is calculated to light up CulebraStation as well. 58 PANAM
