athwart the navigation.
Fast Time Impossible.

In the Welland Canal the speed is one
mile per hour, and the same in the North
Holland ship canal to the port Of Am
sterdam. In the Suez canal, the most
important canal in the world, the time
to pass through 100 miles is fifty hours,
or rate of two miles per hour, with
about fifteen miles of this distance
through open lakes. The speed by reg
| ulation is limited to five miles, but at
this speed vessels run aground.
Then again there is the relative cost
Of ship railway and canal to be con-
sidered, with the odds far in favor of the
former. The Welland canal which is
only twenty six and three quarter
miles; cost the government, in round
numbers, $24,OO0,000. ship canal
from the Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario
would cost at the very least double this
sum, and the water on the meter stills is
only fourteen feet deep. To increase
this depth to twenty feet would cost al
most as much more. Compare with this
the cost of ship railway, which is fixed
by Mr. Corthell at So, 459, 31S.o9. A
ship railway can bring a vessel easily
at the rate of ten miles an hour, or from
end to end of the ship railway in about
seven hours Mr. Corthell has compiled
very interesting statistical table,
which was given in his address before
the Canadian Society Of Civil Engineers
in 1891. The sailing distance from Chi
cago to Montreal by the Ontario Ship
Railway is 1,001 miles as against the
distance by the Welland canal 1858
miles, saving of 262 miles. The sail
ing time from Chicago to Montreal by
the Welland canal is 1868 hours, via
the Ontario Ship railway SO. IA hours, or
saving of thirty-three hours. The
estimated cost per ton over the ship
railway is three and fourteenth miles
per ton per mile. This includes the
cost of operation of the ship railway
and per cent. on the cost of construc-
ton. The cost per mile from Chicago
to Liverpool by the Ontario Ship Rail-
way is estimated at S3.4S, by the We'll
land canal 1897. by rail to
Montreal S6.25; by rail to New York
S6.74. The distance by the Ontario
Ship Railway. 4,226 miles, and time
313.47 hours; by the Welland canal, A.

locking a vessel through but the slow
progress that is made in confined
channel It would take almost as long
to bring a vessel FROM the Georgian
Bay by a ship canal as it would take for
the same vessel to sail around by the
long route. The difference in time
would be very trifiing. The following
extract from London Engineering for
Feb. 1, 1884, discussing the effect OF
navigation in confined waterway, gives
scientific confirmation to our statement:
1T is universally recognized fact that
vessels steer better, are more easily
propelled, and are altogether more man
ageable when moving through capa-
cious waterway. The vessel in motion
has to be forced through the water, and
the particles are pressed one against the
other and in confined spaces against the
bottom and the sides. Thus q great
friction is kept up, which reacts against
the hull, deadens her speed, and at the
same time prevents an equitable flow Of
water to her rudder, and, in the case Of
screw, to the propeller also, and as a
consequence the vessel becomes I'M
manageable.
when craft going at even moderate
speed-'smells the bottom as the term
is-she probably ends in running ashore

inirg the route, and before becomin g
one Of the provisional directors, Mr..
Corthell read paper before the Cana
dian Society Of Civil Engineers in 1891.
In this paper he discussed the various
schemes that occurred to him as likely
to relieve the congested condition of
the carrying trade from the West. In
this paper Mr.. Corthell, while not ex-
pressing any decided opinion, shows by
his conclusion that the Ontario ship
railway scheme is by far the most prac-
ticaple, the cheapest, and in fact the
only feasible one, while at the same
time holding out the promise of good
profits.
Huge Water Turntables.
Mr.. Corthell says he estimates, on
the basis of ship railway of larger ca
pacity than was contemplated by Mr..
Eads, that is for vessels of displace
ment weight of 5000 tons, with draught
of twenty feet, and the railway to be
capable Of transporting during the navi-
CATION season 5000, 900 tons of traffic.
1T is impracticable, except at great
cost, to build the railway on straight
line between the two terminal points.
There will necessarily be in the center
part of the route two and perhaps three
reflections, tables for changing direc-

Starvation Prices for Sewing Girls.

A garment called a blouse is, [ I'M
derstand, much affected at present
by those ladies who aspire to be in
this garment is, am told by compe-
tent authority, it's cheapness. Some
of my lady readers may be interested
to know at whose cost this cheapness
is attained. There exists at 142
LansdoWne road, London Fields, a
workshop for tailoresses and needle
women, managed by a committee Of
ladies, and partially supported by
subscriptions.
To this establishment a well-knOWn
London firm recently sent parcel OF
blouses, or "Garibaldis," to be made
up. Each garment was cut in II
pieces; The workers, or in this case
the workshop, had to find hooks and
eyes, needles and cotton. The price
offered for each garment was 43d. 70
make each one would take about four
hours work. After deducting the
value of needles, cotton, ETC., a We
man could not earn more than Is. 81.
at this work in 16 hours. What price
these garments are retailed at L do
not know, but [ trust that none of
my lady readers will in future buy
one merely on account Of its cheap
ness. Those who do may well be-
think themselves of Hoods lines:
1t is not linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures lives.

weights. One of the special designs of
the dock is an appliance for equalizing
the weight of the vessel and distributing
it perfectly over the whole area of the
carriage which transports it. The dis
tribution of weight is effected by a sys-
tenn Of hydraulic rams or presses. The
rams are situated on a deck placed
about six feet below the upper deck or
pontoon. They are arranged SO that
there will be the same area of pressure
on every cross line. These cross lines
are spaced six feet seven inches apart,
and the number in each line corre-
spends to its position under the
vessel; those under the midship sec
ton of the vessel having seven rams;
those nearer the bow or stern five
and then three rams; while under the
bow and stern the whole supporting
area is concentrated in one ram. These
rams are also arranged in seven longi-
tudinal lines, one, Composed of the most
powerful rams, under the keel and one
on each side under the bottom, bilges
and sides of the vessel. These rams,
$50 to $50 in number, are all connected.
The grades. as ascertained from all
available data, will be 33 feet per mile
as maximum, although on the larger
part of the route the grades will be IL
feet and IA feet per mile. The summit
to be surmounted is $40 feet above the
mean level of Lake Ontario.
The streets, public roads, and rail-
roads to be crossed can all be easily
provided for. The material to be moved
is entirely earth, no rock being found
on the route. The harbor improvements
at the termini will not be expensive.

The Old Canoe Portage.

The principle of a ship railway is no
new one. 1t was practiced from time
immemorial. The cane portage is a
ship railway in embryo. Larger yes
sells have been hauled at various times
overland. Four hundred years before
Christ the Athenians transported their
galleys over the Isthmus of Corinth.
Charles XII. of Sweden in 1718 trans
ported some vessels fourteen miles by
rolling machines at the siege of Fred
erickshall. Large ships are hauled out
of the water every day by means of
marine railways. Now this is how the
Ontario Ship Railway is to be built, as
described by Mr.. Corthell himself: At
each end of the railway basin will be

ton. The grades, as ascertained from
all available data, will be thirty-three
feet per mile of maximum, although
on the larger part Of the route the
grades will be eleven feet and fourteen
feet per mile The summit to be sur
mounted is go feet above the mean
level of Lake Ontario. The cost of the
railway, fully equipped for the kind and
extent of the traffic contemplated, is

The work, Mr.. Corthell thinks, could
easily be finished in three years.

Synicus Is Sensible.

Synicus thinks that making ones
self miserable during this life in order
that one may secure happiness in the
world to come is very much like the
practice pursued by some housekeep-
ers, who, instead of eating and en-
joying berries during their season,
put them up for winter in "pre
served" condition. Synicus says,

vines now and he won't complain if
