Two Hundred and Eighty Years of Inn
 provement.


 In 1909, after traversing the Hudson River from it's mouth to Albany, and care fully noting the grandeur and beauty on either side of this magnificent highway ot nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these words
 "It Is as beautiful land as one can tread upon"
 Two hundred and eighty years have mar velously increased the beauty of the great river called by his name, and could he re- turn to the scenes of his manhood, he would fnd many more lovely sights than those upon which his eyes rested in the early part of the seventeenth century. The natural beauties of the Hudson are much the same, and no description can exaggerate them; but the magnificent steamers that ply between New York and Albany, the innumerable sailing craft that dot the surface of the mighty river, the never ending clusters of canal boats that are being lowed up and down, the beautiful villas that one encounters at every turn, the magnificent monuments, perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here and there along the banks of this noelest river of the continent, add an endless va riety to the scenery, and resistless charm to the eye of the traveller.
 The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad runs along the bankof the Hudson river the entire distance between New ork and Albany, and is the great Trunk Llne that connects the metropolis of the Western world with the famous health and pleasure resorts of Central, Northern and Western New York, including in its list the Catskiil Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, sharon and Richfeld Springs, Lake Ontario, the Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou sand Islands, Lake Champaign, tue River St. Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
 The New York Central is a part ot the great national highway across the coni- nent, and for the beauty of it's scenery, the number and importance of the cities through which 1t passes, its almost total lack of grades and curves, this great four-track railway is unsurpassed in Europe or Amer lCa.

 THE HUMAN VOICE.
It's Melodious Qualities Are Destroyed b,

It's Melodious Qualities Are Destroyed by
 the Use of Stimulants. s
 Tobacco. alcohol and fiery condi- ments of all kinds are best avoided by those who have to speak much, or. at least, they should be used in strict moderation. l feel bound to warn speakers addicted to the ''herb nico- tianh against cigarettes. Like tipping. the effect of cigarette-smoking is cu- mulative. and the slight but constant absorption of tobacco juice and smoke make the practi ee far more noxious in the long run than any other form oi smoking. Our forefathers, who used regularly to end their evenings under the table, seem to have suffered little of the wellknown effects of alcohol on the nerves, while the modern tippler, who is never intoxicated, is Ia being whose whole nervous system may be said to be in a state of chronic inflammation. In like manner, cigarette smokers Chose at least who inhale the smoke and do not merely puff it '.from the lips out ward as Carlyle would say) are often in a state of chronic narcotic poison ing. The old jest about the slow ness of the poison may seem ap- plicable here; but though the process may be slow, there can be little doubt that it is sure. Even if 1t does not kill the body. it too often kills or greatly impairs the victims working efficiency and usefulness in life. The local effects of cigarettes in the mouth must also be taken into account by those whose work lies in the direction of public speech. The white spots on the tongue and insides of the cheeks known as smokers patches are believed by some doctors with spe- cial experience to be more common in devotees of the cigarettee than in oth- CT smokers; this unhealthy condition of the mouth may not only make speak ing troublesome, or even painful, but it is now proved to be a predisposing cause of cancer All fiery or pungent foods, condiments or drinks tend to cause congestion of the throat and if this condition becomes chronic it may lead to impairment if not complete loss of the voice. The supposed mirac- ulous virtues of the mysterious pos sets and draughts on which some ora tors pin their faith eqist mainly ill the imagination of those who use them; at best they do nothing more than lu- bricate the joints of the vocal machine so as to make it work more smoothly.

with cargo. The car or ship cradle will run on four lines Of steel rails. each rail weighing about one hundred and ten pounds No wood will be used; all bridges and culverts are to be built of hewn stone At either term mus there will be two large docks, an outer one, 300 feet long by 300 feet wide, forming q receiving basin, and an inner dock, 250 feet long by 300 feet wide. These docks will be faced with hewn stone and have water depth of sixty feet The inner basin will be fitted with an adjustable plat form, operated by hydraulic pressure for tho purpose of raising and lower- ing vessels in transit.
 A ship or steamer making the over land passage is first floated into the in- ner basin, and the platform supporting the car or ship cradle sunk to the re- quired depth. The shipis then foated until she rests securely on the cradle. Hydraulic pressure is applied and the platform raised until the rails on which the cradle rest are on plane with those of the main line, when a power ful engine is coupled on and away "sails" the ship past Beausejaur and Cumberland, over swamps and bogs, through forests of sp:,tee aud pine, until after sailing over some seventeen miles of dry land she is launched into the waters of the Bay of Fundy or the Gulf of St Lawrence, as the case may be. Vessels taking advantage of this short cut will save some hundreds of miles of dangerous passage around the roclS-bound coast of Nova Scotia Es- pecially will it be a boon to the Glou- cester fishermen bound to the Labra. dor coast the Bay Chaleur or other points north and east.
