WATERWAYS AND RAILWAYS.

In the current issue of the Atlantic
Monthly ~ an interesting presentation
u facts concerning the relative value
70 the world OF waterways and rail-
ways as agencies OF transportation. II
Is the apparent purpose Of the author,
Prof Logan q. Mcpherson, n lecturer
on transportation at Johns Hopkins
university and one Of the expert MS
sistants Of the National waterways
commission, TO demonstrate that the
waterways have boon developed and
supported by governments out Of all
proportion to the service which they
have rendered. This result he arrives
at by nacortalning the cost Of water
way development IN various countries
Of Europe, and thcn by comparing
that cost ana the returns received
from the waterways with the cost and
the earnings Of the railways. The
result il. Of course, everywhere in
favor of the railways. their greater

is that part Of the peach bud that

at which a peach blossom is killed

Of development of the blossom, the
degree of cold, the radiation of heat
from the rock walls of a canon, the
spread of irrigation at night time,
the suction of air through a valley,
the length Of time to which the
