THE SUEZ CANAL.
Description and History- of the Stu
pendous -Work.
The maritime canal across the
cJsthmus of Suez, which can be com
pared with regard to he import
ance of its geographical position
only to the Isthmus of Panama, Is
completed. A dispatch, dated Al
exandria, September 30th, announ
ces that Ferdinand de Lesseps, the
founder of this gigantic work, had
performed the passage from Port
Said to Suez on a steamer in fifteen
hours. ,
DESCRIPTION OF TIIE CANAL.
The width of the Isthmus of Su
ez, from Tineh (the ancient Pelusi
um), which lies under 31 3 37"
to Suez in 29 58' 37", is seventy
miles in a direct line. The length
of the canal from Port Said to a
point a little south east of Suez, is
o exactly 100 miles, sixty of which
pass through three lakes Menzalch,
allah,Timsad,and the Bitter lakes.
a Embankments were constructed on
ly upon the lakes Menzalch and
Jiallah, and not upon the last two
iiameu. ine wicitn oi tne canal,
at the water line, varies from 190
feet two inches, to 492 feet. The
width at the water line, of about
four-fifths of the entire canal fs 328
feet. Between the fortieth and
forty-seventh miles, where the ex
cavations were very difficult, the
canal is only 190 feet wide. The
width of the channel bed is not
less than 72 feet anywhere ; near
3 Port Said it is from 120 to 130 feet
and near Suez from 2G2 to 311 feet.
The deptli of the canal is not less
than 26 feet 2 inches, but between
the Bitter lakes and Suez the depth
in from 28 feet 5 inches to 32 feet
8 inches.
TORT SAID.
The canal commences at Port
Said, on theMediterranean, which
city has derived its name from the
Said Pacha. It was founded by
the canal company of 14359, on a
narrow, uninhabited strip of sand,
which was enlarged by sand from
the harbor dredgings. Port Said
lies not far from Damictta, a town
near the mouth of the eastern arm
of the Nile. In 185 i) there were
only a few tents for the engineers,
and a few huts which were built on
piles, wljejc the city now stands:
Provisions and water were at that
time brought on camels from Da
mictta, or., by vessel, at a distance
of thirty-five miles. Port Said has
now 12,000 inhabitants, and its
trade is increasing rapidly. In 1808
not less than 2GG steamers, chiefly
belonging to French, Russian, Aus
trian and Egyptian companies ar
rived at Port Said. The inner har
bor of Port Said, which is called
the Grand Hassin du Fort, is large
enough for 400 first-class merchant
men. Besides tbg large basin there
are t wo smaller ones ; one of these
is called the basin of Commerce,
the other the basin of Arsenal.
Any enlargement of the inner port
if such should be necessary, will be
into the lake Menzalch, consequent
ly toward the south.
From Port Said to Ellvantara,
which means bridge, a distance of
twenty-seven miles, the canal trav
erses the lake Menzalch and its la
goons. This lake, whose bottom
consists of the deposits of the east
ern arm of the Nile, is shallow and
muddy. The embankments on-this
section of the canal have been form
ed out of the dredinnccs. The
steam dredging machines which
have been employed on the Suez
canal are the largest and most
powerful ones which" the world has
ever seen; they are 131 feet long,
21 feet wide ; their elevation is 46
feet, and their weight 1,100,000 lbs
each.
From el Kantara,the canal passes
to the small lakes Ballah. Between
these lakes and lake Timsah, Croco
dile lake, the construction of the
canal was exceedingly difficult, par
ticularly at El Ferdane and El
Guisr. The immense dune at the
latter place, through which the ca
nal had to be cut, is from GO to 70
feet high. The height of the em
bankments of the canal, at El Guisr
is G2 feet.
Previous to the construction of the
canal, the shallow basin of Timsah
which was dry during the hot
season was fed only by the inun
dations of the Nile. The filling of
lake Timsah, by water from the
ZVIcditerr.inc.in, lasted five months,
-and required 64,000,000 cubic me
ters ot water, (a meter is equal to
30.37 English inches). Lake Tim
sah covers nearly 5,000 acres.
The new town of Ismailia, which
lias derived its name from the pres
ent Viceroy of Egypt, lies on the
north side of lake" Timsah. It has
now 5,000 inhabitants, and makes
the impression of a European city
which has been transferred to the
Orient.
AVhen the fresh water canal was
completed, the Egyptian govern
ment bought it of the Suez Canal
Company for $2,000,000 gold.
; From the south side of lake Tim
sah the canal passes through the
table land of the Serapeum, and
then enters the Bitter lakes." The
construction of the canal, from lake
Timsah to the Bitter lakes present
'd extraordinary difficulties on ac
cou;ft of the sandy condition of the
toiL The ground through which
the canal had to bo cut is almost
33 feet above the level of the sea,
consequently 59 feet over the bot
tom of the canal. (
It is proposed tcwplant trees on
the banks of the canal at El Guisr,
as well as at Serapeum, for the pur
pose of preventing the filling up of
the same by the drift sand. It re-'
mains to be seen whether this rem
edy will be sufficient. The annual
expense of dredging out the; drift
sand at El Guisr, and at Serapeum
is estimated at $200,000 gold.
The mouth of the canal at Suez
is protected by a dam against the
winds and tides of the Red Sea.
Suez is the Red Seaport of the
large steamers of theBritish,French
and Turkish lines, and it is also an
important station for the Egyptian
men-of-war. . (S)
Near Suez silver and copper coin
have been found, which have not
been current for 1500 years. The
Suez Ship Canal is the only one
which has ever been constructed
without gates or locks, and it is by
far the largest and deepest canal
which has ever been made. Be
sides the Suez canal, there are only
three water ways of some extent
through wnich first-class ships can
pass, the Caledonian Canal, the
Great North Holland Canal, and
the New Amsterdam canal. There
isStio tide in the Bitter lakes, and
only a slight movement of the wa
ter is perceptible. hen the sun
shines, the Color of the water will
indicate the course of the channel,
MOIIAMEDAN CONTROL CONSIDeSeD
Fears have been expressed that
the interests of the commercial
world might suffer, on account of
the location of the canal in Egypt
ian territory, and propositions have
already been made to neutralize the
canal. Should the? Egyptian or
Turkish governments ever attempt
to lander the free passage of ships
through the canal, or otherwise lay
obstacles in the way, it will be an
easy matter for the European pow
ers to wrest it from Moliamcdan
rule.
CAPACITY OF THE CANAL.
- The depth of the Suez Canal will
be sufficient for ships of 3,000 tons.
The company announces that ships
must not draw more than twenty
four feet, and that all sailing ves
sels of more than fifty tons will be
towed. Pilotage will likewise be
obligatory for vessels of more than
100 tons. The towing and pilot
ing will be done by the company.
The maximum speed is to be but
little more than six miles per hour.
The dues. for pilotage vary from five
to twenty francs, according to the
draught. Vessels toyd are enti
tled to a reduction of 25 per cent.
The charge for towage, which is to
be done by steam-tugs, will be two
francs per ton. Vessels stay in u
longer thai?1 twenty-four hours at
Port Said, Ismaili,' and Suez, have j
to pay anchorage dues ot live cen
times per ton for each day. The
transit dues Ayili be ten francs per
ton, and tcnSrancs for each passen
ger. It will be seen by this that
the charges for a vessel of 800 tons
amount to $2,000 in gold, except
those for passengers. This is rather
high, and the expense cabprobably
only be borne by costly cargoes.
The canal will have the same leveQ
throughout.
PLAN, ETC.
The canal is to remain the prop
erty of the company for ninety
nine years. After that time it will
pass into the " hands of the Egyp
tian Government. ri)
The Suez Canal is no doubt a
success, mis nas oeeii conceuea
even by the opponents of the en
terprise. The modern technical
science which has been able to con
struct the canal, will also be able
to keep it in good condition. The
Suez Canal, which is one of the
greatest achievements of the age, if
not the greatest, is a work of peace.
And when future generations will
feel the blessings of this great work
of peace, they will praise Ferdinand
de Lesseps, the founder of the Suez
Canal.,.
LESSEPS AND HIS LABORS.
The idea of piercing the Isthmus
of Suez by a ship canal originated
with Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1831.
This remarkable man, who is the
son of Mathieu Maximilian Pros
per, Count of Lesseps, was born in
Versailles, in France, on the 19th
of November, 1805. Like his
father, he entered upon a diplo
ma! ic career at an early age. In
182o lie was attached to the Con
sulate of Lisbon, and in 1828 to
that of Tunis, and he was succes
sively Consul at Cairo, Rotterdam,
Malaga (1837), and Barcelona
(1842.) "While he was attached to
the French Consulate General in
SYPt he formed an intimate ac
quaintance with Said Pacha, son
of Mchcmet Ali, who was Viceroy
of Egypt from 1806 to 1849. Said
Pacha, who was educated by a
French tutor, was an accomplished
and kind hearted gentleman. After
the revolution in February, 1848,
Lesseps was recalled from Barce
lona, and soon after he went as
French Ambassador to Madrid.
In 1849 he was sent as special
agent of France to Rome, but he
was not satisfied with the French
occupation of the Eternal City,
lie even protested publicly against
me Domoardment of Rome by
General Oudinot, in consequence of
which he incurred the displeasure
of the French Government. LeS
seps accordingly; retired from the
diplomatic service; but a man ot
such activity of mind could not re
main idle. .

was received in a most friendly
manner, and with almost princely
honors by his former companion,
the new Viceroy, iv paiace was
placed at his disposal, and a num
ber oi .Egyptian servants weic
ready to obey his orders. Lesseps
asked tha advice oQbe diplomatic
representatives of foreign powers
with regard to his plan to cut
through the Isthmus of Suez, but
he met with little encouragement.
Hon. Frederick Bruce, the English
Consul General, 3Ir. Sabatier, the
French Consul General, and also
the representatives of Russia,
Prussia and Austria, pronounced
his plan fantastic and visionary
However, Mrn Iiuyssen'&ers, the
Dutch Consul General, entertained
different views. w
Lesseps had to surmount in
numerable difficulties. The ex ecu
tion of his rdan was retarded by the
iealousy of the Turkish and Eng
o
lish Governments. The Viceroy
was continually assailed by inter
ested parties ; protests and warn
ings poured in from all sides; The
British Government wasjvfraid that
her position in Egypt would suffer,
and that the security of her East

How Phosphorus is made.
The earthy matter of bones mn
sists of three) equivalents of lime
united with one equivalent ofphos-
nhoric acid, it is what chemists
term "alribasic pliosphale of lime,
. - i
JrhosDhoric acid consists ot one
equivalent of phosphorus united
with five equivalents ot oxygen
In order to obtain the phosphorus
it is only necessary to take away
those five equivalents of oxygen
which Ave can do by mixing the
compound with3 charcoal after some
1- . J.Z 1 A
nrenminai v onerauuns, auu iiuai
inx them together. Tlf$ charcoa
takes away the oxygen and form
carbonicoxide wh it, while the
phosphorus distils over. In this
way we get phosphorus in the con
dition in" which you are very famil
iar with it. It is a wax-like sub
stance, which must be bandied,
with care, because if yon, allow it
to dry, the heat of the fingers
would be sufficient to inflame it.
Xow observe what thiP sub
stance oks like. It iPsemi-trans-
parent; it is so you can ut it
like wax. It is exceedingly pois
onous, and in the makfng of lucifer
matches it "fs found to be a very
insidious poison. Lucifer match
makers are apt at first to be sub
ject to an affection which docs not
draw much attention. They com
plain rrequently of tooth-ache, but
they do not knxw the insidious
disease that is creeping upon them.
The lucifer match makers whg
make lucifer patches from this
phosphorus, are subject to the
most distressing of all diseases;
the jawbone becomes destroyed,
and frequently disappears or be
comes useless, and some of them
spend the greater part of their lives
in the wards of hospitals. It there
fore became an important pognt for
science to find some way by which
this phosphorus should be deprived
of its poisonous properties without
losing those chemical characteris
tics which makes it so useful in
making matches for instantaneous
light.
Prof. Schrotter, of Austria, met
this want of science in a very skill
ful way as follows : By taking
common phosphorus and exposing
it for some time to a temperature
of 40, this yellow, waxy, transpa
rent substance transforms into a
dark, brick-like substance. It is no
longer so inflammable as to ignite
spontaneously. It may be packed
uu in boxes without danger of
spontaneous combustion ; but what
is more important it has lost all its
poisonous properties. The phos
phorus, which was poisonous be
fore, is no longer poisonous in this
condition, and it is still capable of
