The Scientific American of this week con-
tains two full page illustrations of Captain
Eads proposed railway for transporting
ships with their cargo across continents.
Captain Eads claims by this plan to be
able to take loaded ships of the largest ton
mage from one ocean TO the other across the
Isthmus of Panams, as readily as can be
done by a canal after the Lessup plan, and
at a much less cost for engineering con-
slruction.
The project is certainly bold and ingen-
ious, and the protector anticipates no serious
difficulties in carrying forward his enter
prise. The engravings referred to in the
Scientific american show the proposed con-
struction of not only the railroad, but the
appliances for transferring the ships from
the water to the rail.
In addition to a large number of engrav-
ings, illustrative of engineering works, in.
ventions and new discoveries which appear
weekly, the Scientific american has, during
the past wear, devoted considerable space q
| illustrating and describing leading estab.
! lishments devoted 10 different manufaGtur-
| ing industries.
This feature has added very much to the
attractiyeness and usefulness Of the paper.
More than filty of the most important in
dustrial establishments Of our country have
been illustrated, and the processes Of tn,
different manufactures described in its col
umns. The Scientific american has besr
published for more than thirty-fou year
by MuSS & Co, 81 Park Row N. r, and ha
attained larger weekly circulation than al
similar papers published in the country
The publishers assure the public that thel
have not printed less than so 900 copies
week for several months.
