Canadian Ship Railway Scheme. , There have been in years past various plans suggested to connect the upper waters f ¢ Huron with Lake Ontario by means ofa ship canal that shouldbe large enongh to float. our Jake vessels when loaded. If any such scheme werepractically feasib’e it ise isy to see, by a glance at the map, that an great saving in distancé and time would be effect- ed in the cheap transportation of Western grain to the Eastern seaboard. Butthis far the work necessary for the gr rere of such a project hie been of too enormous a character and calling for too great an out- Jay of money to varrant any attempt at un- dertakingit. Atkindred enterprise has been revived of late in Ontario and is.now being discussed with much interest. It is an immense ship raihvay to traverse substantial- ly the same roue as that of the proposed canal, The “‘lay’ of the country is declared by engineers to be. favorable e route would be froni Grorgian Bay, on the north- eastern corner of Lake Huron, tothe mouth of the Humber River, west of Toronto The distance between Lakes Huron and Ontario y sixty-nine miles, which may well be » short cat.” It is estimated that on such a line thie large lgcomotives could take a vessel of 2,000 tons “weight, vessel and gargs, or more than 1,000 tons register, at the rate of-te: milesan hour, To trans- port the same anount of cargo by rail would require five locomotives, with trains _o twenty-carscach, und ach car Holding ten tons.

For instance, having met two friends at Liverpool for the purpose of journeying back to London with them, I was told by a shrewd Englishman to take a third-class compartinent, ane ‘onake it right with the guar ad” so as tohave the box all to ourselves. We purchased three third- class tic kets, and promised the guard who showed us to onr seats four shillings, or dollar, if we were not disturbed by stran, gers on the journey to L ondon.
