To Make Berlin a Seaport.

It is proposed to make Berlin a seaport by connecting it by canals with the river Odeq. The Tegel See, to the west of the city, would be the harbor. There are no engineering difficulties, and only two locks would be noeded. The cost for a canal seventy feet broad at bottom and twenty-five feet deep would be about $50,000,000, or one-third more than that of the Baltic-North Sea Canal.
