aegrcssively because they hoped FOR n

would have given the two counties
enough money to build the road.

The great "whirlpool' below Niagara
Falls has recently been spanned by a
passenger-cableway. The car is suspend
ed from running gear, which travels on
six parallel track-cables of one inch cru
cible-steel rope. Every track cable is en-
tirely independent Of the others. The
breaking of any one Of them, therefore
would not be serious, as the other cables
would support all the weight Of the car,
and the passengers would not be i'm
periled. The breaking of two cables al

probable.

are slower from America to- Germany than
at any time since the beginning of the

from communication with the outside
world
Lately England has taken from steamers
the mail passing through Holland and
Norway. Letters now arriving in Berlin
were written about three months ago, hav
ing been delayed that length of time by
the censors.
