The declared purpose Of the parents

demonstrate an exceeding depth and 10y

their evident intent in the matter. II Is,
however, significant OF the source whence
the young man derived his disposition

oregonian.
The oregonian should be ashamed 10

improbable Mrs. Durrant yet believes her

which he is condemned. and that she

Every right-feeling man ought to thank
God for having planted such an instinct

case of this poor woman. However vile
Durrant may really be, it cannot be
doubted that he is the sufferer Of more

paper like the oregonian can descend 10

heart-broken mother The article Is in
execrable taste, and repugnant to the
most ordinary sense Of justice and natu-
raj feeling. There is reason to believe
Mrs. Durrant would willingly take her

One of the most gigantic engineering
schemes ever attempted. and one that
would be productive Of the most wonder
ful results If successfully carried out, !s
that proposed by a Boston man. He pro-
posed to build a dam across the Strait
OF Belle Isle. which separates Labrador
from Newfoundland, and thus prevent
the flow Of ice cold water from the polar
regions into the Atlantic, which accom-.
plishment would bring about several very
desirable results. First, it is claimed #
would modify the climate OF the entire
New England coast, as the vapor rising
from the Arctic currents is what makes
the chilling winds that are so disagree
able in that particular section: It would
make Labrador habftable; it would keen
the Canadian ports open all the year
round, and give the maritime provinces
- NN-s NSaAAs d Hlllu CilfndLe all the
time The bank or dam that would be
built across the strait would be about
nine miles long and trains could be rln
over IT, allowing the American rairwas
systems to extend their lines to st. Johns.
Newfoundland. This would reduce the
transatlantic voyage to three and a he +
days as outgoing ships pass just a H,,;e
to the eastward of st. Johns two or
three days after leaving New York. With
the railroads extending that far people
who object to ocean travel could travel
TO ST Johns in palace car and thus
save several days on the water. 1t will
be seen that the scheme is a great one
and as the three countries-Canada.
United States and England-would be
directly benefited. the Boston man hopes
TO interest all Of them The estimated
cost would be very small item when
the great results It would bring sbout
are taken into consideration.

most all Of the sickness Of women is
