THE ISTHMUS OP PANAMA.
FORMERLY the passage of the lathmoB invoWed a laborious joaroey of two days, the first of which was spent upon the Chagres River ; now it is usually crossed in as many hours, without the slightest trouble or fatigue. The line impinges up- on the Chagres River at a distance of about seven miles from Aspinwall, and more or less- follows the right bank to Barbacoas, about half-way across the Isthmus. Here it crosses the river by a bridge six hund- red and twenty-five feet lo
...ng, and then follows the left bank of the Ovispo (a tribu- tary) to its head. This is the summit, distant thirty seven miles from the At* lantic, and ten from the Pacific. The deepest cutting is only twenty-four feet.
The maximum grade on its descent is sixty feet per mile ; the summit grade is two hundred and fifty-eight feet above the as- sumed grade of the Atlantic. There is, in fact, no difference between the mean level of the Pacific and the Atlantic ; only the tide in the former rises eighteen feet, in the latter two.
