a most gigantic enterprise and we'll calculat-

sides the main canal, there Will also be a
branch connecting with the Nile, to serve
both as a canal, and an acqueduct, to lead off
the surplus waters Of that river during the
frcshets. The entire cost Of the work, with
its breakwater adiuncts at either extremity,
is estimated at S35, ,O00,0 600. It is we'll known
that canal was constructed across this 18TH
