length, not counting the dredg
ing to be done in the ocean beds
is nearly forty-four miles, seven
tv one killometers, to be exact.
Its course follows exactly the
route laid out by De Lessep.
The French engineers placed a
monument of concrete at each
killometcr distance on the center
line; and, in like manner marked
the beginning and end of each
curve. In places where no work
or little work, has been done,
these monuments remain.
The canal is to be 150 ft. wide
at its base, and the sides are to
have a slope of one to one. The
water is to have a depth of Co
feet. Consequently the width of
the canal at the surface of the
water will be 220 feet. Ten feet
above the surface of the water a
berm fifty feet wide is to be lev
eled off on each side of the canal,
thus affording ample space for
travel
It has not been decided wheth
er a sea-level canal will be built.
It is claimed that a lock canal
may be completed in less time
by three years, and at a saving
in cost of $-0,000,000. In an
swer to the former argument it
may be saidthat the commerce of
the world has been carried on
for all this time without the canal
and can surely wait the few ad
ditional years. As to the cost, it
appears that the handicap to na
vigation which the lock feature
of the canal would entail, would
more than effect the saving in
cost. A sea-level canal across
Nicaragua would have been ita
pract ioib'e. Lake N icaragua
was to be utilised, and it is (M feet
above sea-level.
Doubtless many of your read
ers know of the famous Culebra
cut. It is at the Continental di
vide, 10 1-2 miles from the Pacitic
and 33 1-2 miles from the Atlan
tic. It is named from a town of
the same name near it. It is two
miles south of Empire. The to
tal depth of the excavation at the
center, including what luu al
ready beon doue, will bo about
500 ft. To get sufficient width,
excavations on each side have to
be made. F'm the level of the
toj of the highot mountain to
t he base of the canal will be i'r0
feet., If a lock canal is con
structed, the digging will be u
great deal less. The plans for a
I n k canal provide for the build
ing of a lock 130 feet high t Cu
lebra cut.
The materials encountered in
digging are genen ily: First, (
the ordinary soil, thencS iy, soap- j
stone or shale, soft i.k and.
hard rock. The soil is dug eai
S Iv, but does not dump well on ac-!
count of sticking to the dump!
.cars. Shale is the idea! inatei ial !
taking both operations into con-1
sideration. Solid rock of course ;
is the costliest. The hea v blast-'
I ting in it almost shakes the eon-j
tincnt from side to side, the dis :
tance from one side to the other j
not being very great here. i
The soft materials are a'.l dug ,
anil Uvided with steam showN,
and the hard materials are load-;
i
; ed with them after they are b'.ist-
iod into pieces sufficiently smalt.;
The steam shovels are immense
j machines. An Irishman once"
Jsaid, on seeing a ste.mi shovel;
"You can do the work of forty ;
j meat, but you can't vote." If I.e
jlud stvn a steam shove! l,'e
those used he tv he could have
substituted "one hundred li en''
fur "forty men." One shovel

The greatest impediment to
the work now is the scarcity of
laborers. As is well known.

not labor in such a clirca'. a?
this, and most of the laborers
here are f rorn Jamaica. Lately
large numbers of negroes Iron
Marfmigue have b?en indaced to
to come here. Tber are cot as
good laborers as the Jamacians.
The Panamans are poor laborers,
and a very few of then are now
employed in the work. A ship
load cf Colombians ure expected
here this week. Being similar
to the Panamans, not ranch Ls to
be expected of them.
There appears to be a great
deal of doubt in the U. S. states
that the canal will be completed
but I think the need of it is so
great that its construction will
never be abandoned. When com
pleted it will be the greatest av
enue of commerce in the world.
It will be the only route between
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of
the U. S. and the Orient, and be
tween the eastern part of the U.
S. and the Pacific coast of South
America Central America and
Mexico, and it will be a favorite
route between Europe and the
Orient, in cl u d i n g A u st raiia. Be
sides its commercial importance
Jits value to the U. S. navy will be
great beyond computation. Tl
construction of this great &hip
liighway will be a century mark
er for all time to come.
