United '-States agent, on the Panama canal, which 'will be published in the next bulletin ol >f.ho American Geographical Society: THE . GREAT DAM. “At Gamboa wo saw t he site of the pro- .

The idea of this is to lose no time In ' earning some revenue from it. TJIM FINANCIAL QUESTION. “Next comes the question of what It will •cost. .Looking back at the deliberations «*>f the Paris congress of 1870 one is aston ished to find how correct to a day was their estimate of the expense. It was then cal culated that the total cost for say ten years • of construction and maintaining, with ln- terekt ca the money, wotdd reach about f240,OOb,DOO. In this was not taken into • sonsldtrstion the purchase of the Panama railroad nor the erection of the hospitals, .'•habltsitona and many other necessary ex- iuonw*,. which cannot strictly be considered :,'as part of tho digging, but which run up to i some Usds of millions. All this has been dene, and well done. The work is com- 'pleteiy under way, and the din and hum of me* and machines resound from one .end nfdh» isthmus to tho other. Steam and hiiumn labor to-day represent there a (force tfi (half a millidn men. Should the ..canal owl $500,000,000 it will easily bo ■worth tfkat to the world, and be a fairly .paying '(investment to the stockholders. PItOHI’EGTS. “In Tf.tV the traffic through the Suez • aa»ul air an ted to about throe and a '•quarter million tons. It is now nearly -nine iriSHJeu. Tho congress in 1879 esti- smated, i/l.er study and reflection, the surobaliilf traffic of the Panama canal in 1889 at wven and a half million tons. I do mot beartito to stato as my personal con viction from the great increase of trade ■tbut Ui million tons at the outset is a Fairer calculation. Dues at $8 a ton for •.hipping alone will glvo a revenue of f30,POO.PM. A glance at the map of the i.vorld, ot hotter still at a globe, shows it will cause a saving in distance of about ten thousand miles between the ports of -he different nations, or three times across the Atlantic ocean from Havre to New York. South America stretches much (further south than Africa,and the Panama ■canal can be reached in a straight line from alnuist any direction. An objection to the Suez canal is the long detours ships . are com polled to make at either end. CONTOACTS GIVEN. “During the last few months the work ■•on the canal bus beon much simplified by .•giving it to live well known firms of con tractors. whereas before there were not far from thirty in all. These live syndicates ••report directly to the administration of tho •canal company,making arrangements with the smaller contractors or taoherons, for work they limy sublet to them. This has involved some complications in relation to past agreements, but they are being straightened out, so that all .shall go smoothly in the future. It is in the interest of the contractors to work as fast as possi ble, for they ire paid so much a cubic metre for soil excavated or dredged. It is for the advantage of the canal company to have hlie canal completed and open as soon as possible, as tuis means a saving of interest on the stock ami bonds. So increased ae- Jvity is flic object of all concerned. Of the five Urns of contractors three are French, one American from New York and one Anglo-ihitch. Their contracts vary 'from fifteen to thirty million cubic metres and the prices from about forty cents to a • dollar and eighty cents per metre. There (remains in all not far from 100,000,000 cubic metre. Vo be removed, the cost of which •an be |»u down in round figures at #100,- '100,000, <w an average of a dollar to the • uibic metre. SANITARY PRECAUTIONS. “As the construction of hospitals was the hirst thought of the canal company, ami as sny.first visit in Panama last October was lotlu oneem the slopes of Mount Ancon, ! ‘1 tinnk I ca.i in no bettor way conclude ! t his report tit m by giving some'suggestions I and statements in relation to the health of “he employes of the company ou the isth- 1 anus and lie conditions of living there The climate is hot, tropical, and every pre caution should be token against the <lis- eascf which come from this state of nature. During the wet season violent showers, charged with eloctrioity, fall upon the luxuriant vegetation, tho clouds not fur from the earth, and so tho reflex move ment fills the air with strange and little studied or known results. There Is a line ^old for scientific investigation. “On tlio isthmus one should not attempt •more than half the physical or mental "vork that can be done in a temperate -one, and in the long run by this system snore J ill be accomplished. You should avoid the sun as much as possible and -sever jo out for even a short stroll with- >ut, t be faithful parasol in hand. When it -ml you happen to be wet through, . •Unngeall your clothing on the first, op- 'oortumtv. This is of the greatest impor- taunt. Avoid drinking the water ofthe country, except rain water when properly -eoUeoted and kept clean. A proper use o’f stimulants, as, for instance, brandy, is ad- ••'•antagaouB as a tonic against, over porspi- ratioa on the one bund and the ,-soulbility of a chill on the other, ■but in abuse is a danger which only folly will encourage. The pru- iont moil will early establish the just me dium between. Light wine mixed with mineral water is always a healthy bever- vge. Persons who are subject to malnrial attacks ol fever iu other countries should avoid the isthmus, as they are likely to succumb to the fever of the place. ‘But strong and robust persons who take proper ; are of themselves need have no special fear. To sum it all up, you have merely to adapt yourself to the peculiar condi- -louB of life. The mortality is not very great—as judged by the records of the canal company, about sixty-five persons a year out of a thousand, white and black, and the difference in favor ot the latter is very slight. “Besides the hospital at Panama there is one at old Colon (Aspinwail) built on the beach and partly over the waves of the At lantic oecnn, capable of accommodating one hundred patients. The trade winds plow through it nearly all the time. The sick and injured can be temporarily cared lor at the various section houses along the une, but all serious cases are at once trans- -orred either to Colon or Panama, as may De most advantageous.
