Canal Long Ago Projected

Il is now nearly 400 years since the
first proposal was made for the Pana-
ma canal. A canal was suggested as
early as 1920 by Angel Saavedra, but
for long time all such suggestions
met with determined opposition from
Spain, who made it a capital offense
to seek or make known any improve
ment on the existing route from Porto
Bello to Panama. More recently
Louis Napoleon, when a prisoner at
Ham, spent much time considering
the practicability Of such a scheme. 1t
was not, however, until the California
gold rush of 1S49 that any accurate
knowledge of the Typographical condi-
tons was obtained. and even then 30
moro years elapsed before the actual
site was chosen by an internatioal
commis sion aud the work begun.
