The estimated cost of the scheme is forty-ne millions, and by calculating on a speed of fifty miles an hour, nearly twice as great as the average rate that Mr. Telford Macneill allows for the trains on the Euphrates line, it is estimated that the journey may be done between Londoa smú

Other subemes might be mentioned such as a line from Trebizond, or some other Black Sen part, to Teheran, and theaca by Herat to Ti- dia; or a lius connecting the Black and the Caspian Seas, God starting from "Astrabad koj Meshed, but thence by the former route to In. dia. This latter world place a powerful weapon of offense in our husde if we were over to en- gage again in a war with Rnesia: Bat the mini- tary question is really not worth while consider- ing. And as commercial fagilities, any of the lines we have sketched would be of secondary in- portance. The gist of the matter lies in its hance, though there is a political obstacle that would bring us to a halt, even if we were to get rid of the money question. It is idle to pro ject scheines which depend for their talliment on obtaining upwards of forty millions of money, to be expended in semi-barbarons coun- tries, and with a doubtful prospect of creating a trade. Who is likely to lead forty millions, or the better part of it, on the security of the Turkish Government and if the money is to be supplied by other nations, as Mamra Lów and Thouggout, how can the rights of the shareholders be secured F It is easy to suggest
