BIG CANAL PROJECT.
Bill In Canadian Parliament TO Connect

NrAoARA FALLS, Dec. 26.--A bill has
been introduced in the Canadian Parliament
incorporating the International Navigation
Company, which will construct canals and
build locks to connect Lake Erie with Mon
treal and New York via the St Lawrence
river, Lake Champlain and the Hudson
river. The canals will allow of twenty-five
feet draught, AS well as the locks, the larg-
est of which will have an eighty-iiYc foot
lift. This latter is between Lake Cham
plain and the Hudson river There will be
seven locks between Lake Erie and Montre-
al and the same number between Lake
Erie and New York.
1t is calculated to take 50 hours between
Lake Erie and Montreal. The great fea-
ture of the canal is the locks with their
immense lifts. These are three and a half
times as large as have ever before been
constructed The lifts will be of steel, and
operated by compressed air. As an engi-
ncerin9 feat they are claimed to be prac-
ticable.
