A NooNsHINE PROJECT

for bridging the Atlantic Ocean, has jus,
been laid before Congress by Messrs.

Newfoundland 10 the British coast. This
b1nk They propose to 'ollow by soundngs
along it's whole course after which they
will snchor buoys ten miles apart, and
support the wires between in cork tubes.
Can any thing be more simple All That
the Contractors want is 4 public YES.
sci and the requisite cash. These small
favors granted, they will 60 about the bus

the soundings and anchor the buo,s. In
this age Of discovery, when gold IS forced
towards the surface Of the earth by in,cr.
nal pressure, faster than all can shovel II
up, We do not venture to doubt any thing.
We do not question the practlcahlIry OF
wiring the Atlantic, or OF gong through
The air on a bubble TO Caiiiurna IN live

or Of catching a sea serpent. or Of chatting

the possibility Of making stick without
