PEOPLE.
The New York Press brings to the special
notice of the New England public an important
railroad enterprise at the east of us. 1t says
that take map including the northeastern
boundary of the State of Maine, the adiacent
British province of New Brunswick and the
peninsula of Nova Scotia. and you will find
that the latter. which is about 80 miles in
length from southwest to northeast, is connect
ed with New Brunswick by an isthmuS only
about seventeen miles wide. This is the
isthmus of Chignecto. with the Bay of Fundy
on its southwest side and the Gulf of st. Law
renee on its northeast side.
Work has Just been begun on ship railway
across this i>thmuS, like the Tehuantepec rail-
way projected by the late Captain James b.
EadS. 1t will readily be seen that to move
ships across the sthmus will be great time
saving scheme. as compared with having them
sail all round Nova Scotia to get into the Gulf
of st. Lawrence from the Bay of Fundy. or
vice versa. And as an imaginary line drawn
in continuation of the southern or Connecticut
and Rhode Island coast line of New England
will not miss the southeastern coast of Nova
Scotia very far, it will be seen that the more
strictly eastern coast of New England. that of
Maine. New Hampshire, and Massachusetts
above Cape Cod, really fronts on a sort of
great bay of which Nova Scotia has the east
ern shore This ship railway is of great i'm
portance to the coa>twSe trade of New Eng
land with Canada, shortening the distance be-
tween Boston and Montreal, for instance, 300
miles.
The hydraulic lifts at each end of the Chig-
necto railroad will raise loaded vessels of a.
high tonnage as 1000 tons. Sir Charles Tup-
per estimates that there is Il commerce of some
thing like 2,6S1 800 tons annually in the ports
