Secondly. The conformity Of this plan to known
physical laws, they relate 10 the mpedimcnts
anticipated by the SHOWS and frosts Of winter, Is
sery instructive point Contrary 10 the ordinary
frst-sight presumptions, Mr.. Wbitncy's route sf-
fords a better security against these impediments
and the physical laws by which the result occurs
arc obvious, that i'm the northern region Of MIR.
whitncy's route, where the weather at times pre-
cpitatcs rain or snow the year round the SHOWS OF
winter greatly less than in the higher grounds
OF the moro southern attitudes ~ we approach the
regions where the alternate dry and rainy seasons
prevail. In those more southern parts, and in the
their heights, the falling weather Of winter is per-
pctual instead Of rain, the lower grounds,
and the snow y oleon 1t an immense depth. Wit

any oftle southern routes that have been

have never been known In thoss ATTITUDES where the
altsrnats dry and rainy ssssona are unknown; and
from time immemorial those engaged in the service
Of the for companies have never been impedcd, on
the route by the Northern Pass, either by the
rosts Of winter lii because the falling weather IL

working of The railroads II very little derangcd or
impedcd by winter, and that little is constantly
growing less BY the application Of newly-invcnted
means Of removing and surmounting those obsts-

Thirdly. There u another physical law which,
