Transportation from the South.

The Merchant and Miners Transporta-
tion Company has extended tsservice and

thereby, as there will be direct communi-
cation between this city and Savannah
Ga. The orange dealers will now be able
TO place their orders with some Southern
house and the goods will be shipped di-
rect to this city and the
Providence dealers will thus save the
commission of the middlemen at Boston,

they are in Boston. The same applies to
cotton, resin and hard stores of all kinds.

take This Tremendous Project.
The Popular Science Monthly contains
On article describing proposed isthmus,
or dam, across the northern part Of tho
Irish channel, the main object bojng to
utilize the current through this channel
for mechanical purposes The channel is
800 feot deep on the average, ID miles
wide, and the tidal current from the north
Is eight miles an hour. As result, so
cubic miles, or over 200, 900, 000 900 tons
Of water, pass the point where 1t is pro-
posed to build the dam every day. The
rate Mt which the water moves gives each
of these tons Of water the power Of ten
foot tons, and the powar developed Is there
fore between 100, 900 900 and 200, 900, 600
horsepower. There are hills near at hand
from which the materials for the dam can
be taken, and shipping may be provided
for by locks or by enlarging certain canals.
II the plan should be successful, 10
would make England practically independ-
ent of her coal supply, but there are OBJ
stacles in the way. For instance, says
the Brooklyn Citizen, 10 would be impos-
sible to transmit the electrical power pro-
duced without loss, and transferring IL for
more than 100 miles is at present imprac-
ticable. II would nevertheless be possible
TO use 1t in the Lancashire cotton mills
and perhaps In the smelling works of
northern England. Electricity may also
be used In cooking, and IL the price Of
coal rose somewhat IL could be employed
for heating. AS an engine requires about
one ton Of coal year per horsepower to
keep IL running day and night, 1t will be
seen that England would in this new
source Of power have susbtitute for her
entire coal output. The cost of the under
taking is estimated at $l0O, 900, 600. Reck-
oning interest at per cent, this would be
about 8 cents year for every horsepower
produced, or equal TO 3 cents ton for ev-
cry ton of coal displaced. But the cost OF
utilizing the force would be enormous. IL
Is doubtful whether this plan is practica-
BILE as yet, but IL shows how groundloss
are the fears OF those who think that civ
ilization must cease when the worlds coal
supply gives out. Here Is an opportunity
to secure horsepower enough 10 run all tho
mills and furnaces in Great Britain.

AMERICAN CATTLE.
Cattle Shippers Of Hamburg Are
Indignant at the Prohibit.

BERLIN, Nov. SIT has come to the
knowledge OF the United States
embassy that the pretense that
the prohibition against the
landing of American cattle in Germany
was based on sanitary reasons is without
foundation. 1t appears that the Ham
burg sanitary authorities passed two OF
the cargoes OF cattle in question
as healthy and that thereupon Prussian
sanitary offices were ordered to Hamburg
and subsequently announced that the car
goes Of cattle were afflicted with Texas
fever. The cattle shippers OF Ham
burg are indignant at the action
of the Prussian authorities, as they have
recently built four cattle steamers for the
American service and these vessels have
been rendered useless by the prohibition.
