The Pail Mall Caste reports scheme
OF English and Canadian capitalists to
cut down the voyage across the Atlantic
to between three and four days. The
proposition is TO make st. Charles Bay,
on the Labrsdorcoast, and Milford Haven,
Wales the termini of the voyage. The
distance between these points Is stated at
l, 100 miles, being in round numbers l, 100
miles less than from New York TO Qaeens-
town. To get TO st, Charles Bay rail-
way would have TO be constructed from
Quebec, distance OF Si4 miles. Accord
ing to the calculations o. the projectors
this would bring Chicago within days
o; London, by rail and steamer; allow
ing two days for the railway trip from
Chicago to Labrador and 81 days for the
voyage to Milford Haven. The capital
OF the projected company is stated at
ca, O0O,0 00. II this thing of shortening
transatlantic voyages goes on, the tourist
OF the near future will have no time to
enjoy the ocean. The trip will be over
before he has fairly tasted the e1hilara-
tion Of "a home on the bounding wave. y
We are accustomed on this side to think
of Labrador az away up in the frozen
north and frequent reference to the map
fails to make us realize that it lies in the
same lstitudes as the British islands and
that Milford Haven lies almost exactly
due east from st. Charles Bay.

Tho Possibilities Of Life.

We are put here to secrete something
everlasting out Of nature. The oppor-
tnnities are rich, but it is the capacity,
the fiber, that determines whether we
shall do it, for nature contributes to our
life, not primarily according to its
bounty, but according to the filaments
in US that will solicit and incorporate its
bounty. One man absorbs mathematical
truth out Of the heavens, while side by
side with him mortal exists that organ
izes nothing grand or stately into his
cbnstitution-just as the mushroom can
do no more than hoist its plated parasol
out of the same ground, and in the same
sunlight, from which the oak seed i'm.
bibed slowly its tremendous strength.
Another man draws to himself the wis.
dom printed in the granite leaves be-
meath us, which earthquakes have turn.
ed for our benefit, and shows that he has
ennobled his life by 1t. A third wins q
divine thought, hinted In the old bones
which the globe entombs; while fourth
fastens on history, and compels the laws
Of it to filter through facts into his
reason. n.--Starr King.
