A despatch from London says:[ The epoch-making exploit of flying acrossthe English Channel was ac- complished easily and swiftly on Sunday morning by Louis Bleriot, one of the. pioneers of French avia- tion, in his small monoplane- aero- plane. He left Les; Baraques, on the French Coast, at 4.33, and arâ€" rived in the North Foreland mea- dow, two miles east of Dover, 37 minutes later. The airâ€"line distance between the two places is about 24 miles, but Bleriot ilew nearly thirty. He got lost in midâ€"chan- nel, having been without a comâ€"- pass and out of sight of land. When the bane lifted and he was able to see the English coast. he found his travelng almost east. He 'swung round, and with perfect control of the machine flew west against a. strong breeze, which had sprung up, and landed with little diflicultyi on a favorable spot. His speed throughout the trip exceeded forty miles an hour, and he completely outdistaneed the torpedo-boat de- stroyer, aboard of which was his wife, which was endeavoring to keep him in sight. . Bleriot’s success makes him the winner of the prize of £1,000 ofâ€" fered by the Daily Mail to the first man who crossed the Channel in a heavierâ€"thanâ€"air machine.

LINE T0 IIUDSON’S BAY. Surveyors Favor Port Nelson Termini‘us. {IS A dcspatch from Winnipeg says: A party of surveyors who have been engaged running trial lines for the Hudson’s Bay Railway in the Nelson country arrived back from the north on Friday. They bring a report that would seem to indicate that Port Nelson is better suited in every way for the- terminus of the road to the bay. The line is shorter and more direct, and the harbor facili-l ties are good and open earlier than 5 at Churchill, while the cost of con- sti action is vastly cheaper than the more northern route. The survey- ors estimate that from Split Lake to Nelson the cost of building the line will not greatly exceed that of or- dinary prairie work, as there are nomualzegs and no grades.
