to BE Opened Soon.

VICTORIA, Feb. 4.-LSpecial.l The neces-
sity of opening the rich interior of British
Columbia is not being overlooked by the
Canadian Pacific road. General Super
inteldent Abbott says many extensions
and short lines are under consideration,
and during the next week or SO surveys
from Revelstoke to the head of Arrow lake
will be undertaken. The distance to be
traversed is about twenty-eight miles. and
no serious engineering difficulties are an
ticipated in the construction of this piece
of road, which will open a more convent
ent connection with the lower Columbia
and allow travellers to go and come much
later in the season than they can now. As
soon as development justihes railway COM
munication will be established with the
kaslo-Slocan district. Sooner or later the
Canadian Pacific road is bound to build TO
the lower end of Arrow lake and uiti-
mately to connect with the Kootenay and

highways. AS traffic again increased,
these roads were again found to be in
adequate, and the statesmen Of the
country saw very plainly that the poor
roads which prevailed nearly all over
the United States seriously menaced
the prosperity of the people. Then be-
gan on large scale a plan of highway
Improvement by which various States
should be connected with each other. Be-
fore these great national roads assisted
by the Government had been completed
the railway came into being, and the
attention of men was directed to making
these new iron highways. The great
systems of common roads were neg
lected, and the care and construction OF
country roads passed back to each
county and township, and so they have
remained, neglected, uncared for,
heavy tax on land and all that land
produces, and the great contributing
cause which takes to the overcrowded
cities from farms and villages the most
vigorous youths and the most sturdy
maidens.
This system of properly locating and
building common highways having been
abandoned some half-century ago, it
has been incumbent upon this genera
ton to take up the WORK where ~ was
then left off. In locating the railroad
an engineer needs to bear in mind that
the railroad must be approached wher-
ever there is to be a station. Stations
are usually several miles apart, and,
therefore, this part of his problem is SO
sinlplified that he can locate his road
with regard entirely to the general
Typographical features of the country,
and then establish the stations at such
places as may be easy of approach.
But the engineer locating common
highway must bear in mind that his
road must be accessible on both SIDES
as far as it stretches. See what dill
ference this makes! The railroad en-
gineer, in running up valley, can
hue high hills on one side, with turou-
lent watercourse on the other; but such
a location would be out Of the question
for the highway engineer, for those
who are to use his road must be able
to reach it easily from the farms on
either side, and that without going out
of their way. And in the matter OF
drainage, which is of even more I'M
nortance in building highway

When Divers Get Angry.

One of the strange effects that div
ing has upon those who practice it is
the invariably bad temper felt while
working at the bottom, and as this
irritability passes away as soon as the
surface is reached again, it is only
reasonable to suppose that it is caused
by the unusual pressure of air inside
the dress, affecting probably the
lungs, and through them the brain.
My experience has been that while
below one may fly into the most vio-
lent passion at the merest trifle: for
instance, the lifeline held too tight
or too slack, too much air or too lit
tie, or some imaginary wrong-doing
on the part of the tender or the boys
above, will often cause the temper to
rise I have sometimes become SO
angry in similar way that [ have
given the signal to pull up, with the
express intention of knocking the
heads off the entire crew: but as the
surface was neared, and the weight of
air decreased, my feelings have grad
ually undergone change for the bet
ter, until, by the time / reached the
ladder and had the face-glass I'M
screwed, I had forgotten for what |
came up.-The Century.
