The Great Canals of the World and
their Cost.

The Suez Canal is about 100 miles in
length, and cost one million dollars per
mile for its construction. The Corinth
Canal is miles in length, and cost com
pleted, with its approaches, one million
per mile. The proposed Nicaragua ca
nal will cost per mile, with its terminals
and approaches, certainly not less, and
probably more than the sum named. The
canals of Suez and Corinth are real mari
time canals, built without locks, upon the
ealevel. The one, that of Corinth, is
situated in the temperate zone, where the
rainfall is 81 or 40 inches per anuum. The
other, that of Suez, is located in region
without rain. Neither of these is threat
ened in its course by streams liable to
sudden and perilous floods, SO common in
the tropical region of Central America.
These two great works afford no real
parallel to the Nicaragua project, either
as to cost or feasibility. The one work
parallel to this undertaking is very near,
very like it, both in place and circum
stance; it is that of the Panama canal
across the Isthmus of Darien. From
