To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why? Because of the difference in height of the tide in the two oceans. Now, don't misunderstand me, because the line of mean tide is the same all the world round. But the tide rises above the line of mean tide and falls below the line. At Panama, on the Atlantic side, the tide rises 9 inches above mean tide and falls 9 inches below; on the Pacific coast side the tide rises not g inches, but 9 feet above mean tide and falls 9 feet below. Therefore, if that canal were dug with no tidal lock, you... may imagine the disastrous force of that vast volume of water pouring unrestrained through the canal. But our canal is not to be, under the present plans, a sea-level canal. Let me assume that every one at this ta~ble is familiar in a way with the operation of a canal and the locks therein. The ordinary canal, with which you and I are familiar, is a stream that flows gently down, following the contour of the country, having a gentle flow in one direction. When that stream is made into a canal, the canal instead of having a gentle flow, consists of a series of levels, with locks at various points.
