READY TO BRIDGE THE NORTH RIVER.
A Plan for 6torinG Cars on 6uspendeA

A Plan Tor Stosine Cars On suspendsa
Tracks Under the New York Approach.
Since tho talk began OF the big new bridge
across the Hudson. by which all the railroads
now terminating In New Jersey are to be en-
abled to land their passengers in New York
city, the railroad managers have said that land
In New York was SO valuable that no one could
afford to purchase 1t for storage purposea
Hence it was said 1t would be necessary for
them to run their cars across the bridge. land
the passengers. and run their cars back to Jer-
soy. to stay until needed again. Then they
would have to make tho trip across the bridge
q third time to load up. That would be an in
convenience that they could not we'll put up
with.
Chief Engineer Clark OF the bridge company
has decided now that five miles OF storage
room can be built in the air under the New

Rhode Island, having completed her topo-
graphical survey. has placed the map in all her
public schools and llbraries. and It will soon
be on sale also at q slight advance over the
cost OF printing. The large SCALE mile to an
inch. gives room enough for largo variety OF
information. and tho brown contour lines at
twenty foot intervals show the inequalities In
the surface In sufficient detail Such maps
should DO widely disseminated. Students
should have them 10 learn tho vast range Of
information that can DO graphically depicted
on map. Publishers should use them to inn
prove tho quality Of their own map making.
It IL curious fact that large Areas in our
Western Territories are now better mapped
than most Of the State Of New York or OF our
Eastern seaboard. The reason ia that most OF
the work OF our national Geological Survey has
thus far been confined to the outlying and
thinly settled regions: but there 10 hardly a
country In the world that has made such rapid
progress In surveying and mapping within the
past few years as the United States.

that are too good to be true. Few
worlingmen. we imagine. will believe that
Tories will vote for non-partisan labor can
didates in any district where they see
chance Of returning tho Conservative NOM
inee. Obviously the sole purpose OF this
proposal is to split the Liberal vote.
1t is not ecsy. on the other hand, to de-
termine the political effect Of Lord SAILS
BURY 3 offer to extend tho Parliamentary
franchise TO women. We must bear In mind
that tho advocates OF whit Is called woman's
emancipation have. without the support OF
either OF the great parties. come very near
carrying the House Of Commons. We can
not take for granted. however. that the
Liberals will allow themselves to be forced
into the position Of opposing movement
to which they have contributed some Of
the most vigorous promoters.
On the whole, 1t is evident that the Con-
servatives are desperate when they repu-
date the principles associated with their
party name. and attempt to outrival the
Radicals In the latter's peculiar province.
