4 GREAT CHANGE PROPOSED.

The minds of men are very active nowadays, and many gigantic and dar- ing ideas spring up. One of the latest Is that it will be a good plan to close the Belle Isle strait, between New foundland and Labrador, by building a breakwater across it at the narrowest miles wide and one hundred and eighty feet deep The benefits to be derived that the shores of Quebec, Anticosti, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island would become gardens, in which semi tropical fruits and veg etables would flourish, and that the portion of Labrador west of the cause way would have a climate as salubri- ous as that of France. The argument is that Belle Isle strait is the chan mel or doorway from the north by which icebergs, foes and the frigid waters from Greenland and the Arctic ocean find their way into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, chilling it's area, caus- ing fogs, cold, damp and late springs and generally imparting to the region the semi-arctic aspect. As conditions now are, with this seaway open, the ice begins to drift in toward the end of November, and the navigation of the gulf is then impossible until the fol- lowing May. If this channel were clos ed, it is maintained, little ice would be formed in the gulf during the winter, for then the chilly waters from the north would be forced out into the At lantic ocean and along the east coast of Newfoundland.
 Perhaps this isn't ridiculous, and perhaps men will yet be able to do much toward changing 'the face of Nature" Anyhow they are not going to be afraid to try if they think it will

Rear Admiral Schley isn't going to give up yet. The next move his counsel will make Is to except to the findings of the court and make demand that the majority opinion be disapproved by the secretary of the navy as contrary to the evidence and the pertinent facts in the case which the court has not considered or acted upon.
 Time will tell how wise this action is, It seems to many of Admiral Schley's admirers that he can now afford to leave his case with the people, who feel sure that Admiral Dewey knew what he was talking about when he said that Commodore Schley was the senior off, cer of our squadron off Santiago when the Spanish squadron attempted to es- cape. He was in absolute command, and is entitled to the credit due to such commanding officer for the glorious vic tory which resulted in the total destruc- tion of the Spanish ships.' The general feeling is that Admiral Schley has been made the victim of jealousy and envy, and that the decision of the majority of the court was based on technicalitles which were not worth minding in view of the fact that Schley WAS on hand when he was needed and speedily strewed the shore with the wrecks of the Spanish ships. Of course if the Secretary should disapprove the major ity opinion it would leave Schley where he wants to be. If he shouldn't Schley wouldn't be as well situated as he is now. We shall have to wait to see take the risk of further proceedings.
