would be good idea for Supt. Tucker to
cause placards to be attached to the outside
Of the cars at the Lake showing the
destination of each car. Many people
gather together on excursions whose
only experience in railroading is confined to
single excursion at long intervals, and the
present arrangement of trains going east and
west from the lake is rather confusing to
even old jewellers. Such an arrangement as
We suggest would solve the problem of which

One would hardly suppose that a
country so densely inhabited and with
so many mouths to feed as British India
could ever become grain exporting dis.
trict Portions of it are frequently
ravaged by famines following protracted
droughts, and sometimes food is so scarce
thousands Of the poor people perish of
starvation in their villages, and on the
highways along which they wander in
search of the food which their own
blighted fields fail to yield. But since
the Orissa famine, six years ago, the Brit.
ish authorities have turned their atten-
ton to schemes for preventing the re-
currence of such calamities by building
railroads, introducing systems Of irriga-
ton, and bringing into cultivation ex-

tan, which are well adapted to wheat
There are now nearly 1900 miles of rail
road in British India, and schemes of
irrigation have been begun which, when
completed, will increase the fruitfulness
Of the lands and enable them to yield
crops in the dryest season. In the last
ten years the wheat yield of the country
has been increased more than ten
fold, and large proportion of
the grain consumed in England is
brought from the grain fields of
Northwestern India. The yield is con-
tinually increasing under the encourag-
ing efforts of the imperial authorities,
and British statesmen are already looking
forward to the time when India, British
America and other colonies will supply
the home country with nearly all the
breadstuffs it needs. and make it com.
paratively independent of the United
States. Much has been done, too, to
encourage the cultivation of cotton in
India, and the area devoted to it is
steadily extending.

A picturesque story of the Franco
PIussian war is told in Paris M. Am
broise Thomas, the composer, was forced
before the siege to abandon his beautiful
villa at Argenteuil, which was full of
artistic treasures. When the Prussians
entered the place one of their officers in
quired for Thomas house, and writing a
few lines on card he slipped it under
the door. On the garden gate he wrote
a few words in German. Many German
regiments passed through Argenteuil,
and were quartered in its houses, but the
composers remained untouched. When
the war was over Thomas returned to
his villa to find everything as he left it,
and on the card which had been slipped
under the door he read German Dame,
and written beneath It: "The nephew
of Meyerbeer."

The Proposed FrancO-African Sea
Ne1o York Commercial Bulletin.

@'OVS ANtA GUNNER Wi DWbtSCtbs
The formation of a great internal sea
in the south of Algeria and Tunis, which
has been considered by some as purely
Ethiopian project, has now been officially
adopted by the French Government.
Monsieur Lesseps, we observe, is one of
the advocates of the scheme. The iden-
tif1cation Of that always active gentle
man with all such undertakings would
seem now to be accepted as pretty much
a matter of course. There is very little
doubt that the position taken by France
in Tunis has not little TO do with the
new favor with which this enterprise has
been received by the government. The
taking possession of Tunis and the rapid
building of railways IN Senegal with the
creation of sea in question, it is be-
lieved, would bring almost the whole of
northern Africa under French influence.
The recent report of M. de Freycinet
to the President embodies a resume of
some of the physical difficulties in the
way, and the political and other reasons
in its favor. AS to the former, we are
told the proposed sea would be seven
times the size of the Lake of Geneva, or
about $50 kilometres long (210 niles by
from 30 to 40 kilometres in width (25
miles,. A canal of 240 kilometres
would lead to the Gulf of Gabes. In the
south Of Algeria and Tunis are immense
and waste depressions of the surface
known as ctOJtS The only work to be
done would be to construct the canal and
let the water from the Mediterranean in.
The objections that are made against the
plan, as we'll as the arguments in its IA
vOr, are necessarily vague, and their
truth more or less matter of conjecture.
M. de Freycinet emphasizes its use as a
barrier, as it were, against the savage
tribes to the east and south of the French
possessions.
consider the question, and which will
begin work on the Both of next month,
will comprise forty-eight members be-
longing to the various departments of
the government, sixteen members of
Parliament, and the most distinguished
military and civil engineers.
The commercial and transport ad.
vantages of the contemplated undertak.
ing are too uncertain as yet to be taken
into serious consideration; but then it
must be remembered some of the greatest
and most beneficial works OF the Romans
we're originally projected, as the African
Sea is projected, for military purposes.
French capital and French enterprise no
doubt accomplished a great deal for the
world at large in building the Suez
canal, and possibly these may now &C
complish something for France and a
great deal more for Timbuotoo by intro
ducing the waters of the ocean into its
arid wastes.
