THE usefulness of the Suez Canal has
become greatly impaired of late through
the quantity of sand which has been
blown in and which, if something is not
done before long, will fill it up complete

each other; but have to wait at the ends
of the canal until the channel is clear.
This involves great delay and inconven-
fence. The English make use of it
more than any other people and com

in Nicarauga or Panama it will be free
from this drawback.
