man Empire had been founded that the
present enterprise assumed definite
shape.
The first plans wore drawn up in 1878
by Herr Dahistroen, an eminent
engineer of Hamburg, but this was
opposed by the military party, and
Breslau and Leipsic feared it as q
menace to their commercial Importance.
Finally however, the scheme of the
Hamburg engineer won its way into
popular favor, and the work was form
ally inaugurated in 1887. The contract
required the canal to be completed in
eight years, and this has been fully
complied with. The cost was to be
s400 600. and this amount has not
been exceeded.
The Baltic is almost tideless sea,
there being on an average fuctuation
OF half q fathom on about twenty-five
days Of the year. On these occasions the
Holtenau gates will be closed until the
normal level has been restored. At all
other times they will remain open and
the water in the canal will be of Baltic
origin and on Baltic level. At the
Elbe end on the North Sea side of the
peninsula, where the tide runs high
and strong, 1t will be necessary to close
and open the Brunsbettel gates daily.
No serious engineering difficulties have
been experienced, excep. at two points,
one where there was swamp and the
other where particularly deep cutting
was necessary.
The contractors for the work were
Dutch firms, and at the busiest times
10000 men were employed. The aver
age number of laborers, however, was
about 5000, mostly Italians and Swiss,
and the wages amounted to from 65 to rs
cents day for ordinary laborers and
from 81 to $3.50 day for skilled labor.
The largest men-of war can traverse
the can traverse the canal at any rate of
speed, and arsenals, military docks and
shelters have been built along the route.
The surface width is PIT feet with q
banquette depth at the sides of nineteen
feet; it's width at the bottom is Sc feet
and its depth there 30 feet.
The canal will produce tremendous
change, in the Baltic trade. and it is
believed by many that Ktel will find
the most profit from 1t. Copenhagen's
position as the mistress Of the Baltic is
doomed by the completion of the canal,
but st. Petersburg is making great ef-
forts to Hacura all tho hapo6tc ooos;b1o
The great deep water dock in the Neva,
which will make the last named city
seaport, will be opened this year

Lubbock six centuries ago to connect
that place by water with Hamburg, and
