You ThePanamo.Canal. Com1ected with an undertaking of such vast p~oportions as the Panama Canal, there i~ an amount of work expended OI1 prelim naries before the real task is touched, tho magnitude of which it is difficult to form any just conception of. It was neceasttry to make complete and accurate topographical surveys of the countr.r for a considerable distance on each side of the route, and though much assistance was de· rived from the. surveys of the engineers of t he Panama Railroad, still the labor was by no means insignificant. The geological surveys that had been made previous to the past few years did not give that practical informat ion which this pro.ject required, and were, conseqnently, of little or no use. The isthmus is covered · b 1 bl f h Ya most impenetra e orests, so t at the nature of the soil can only be ascertained in isolated cases. If a few rocks were now and then visible, it was hard to say whether they were outcroppings or detached blocks, and, therefore, the na· ture of the underlying mass could not be judged from an examination of them. Borings upon the line of the canal, at frequent int ervals, became necessary. The disastrous effect of the climate upon foreigners is well-known. The comfort and health of the staff and men have been closely attended to, and a good sha1·e of t}\e preliminary work waa expended in the construction of buildings, barracks, offices, hospitals, etc. The line of the canal is divided int o sections, at each of which the work is being pushed forward in both directions.
