of French Indo-China. This canal, according to the writer, would achieve a closer relationship with the "India part of Indo-China, and shorten the distance which separates us from the mother comtry." The suggestion for -a canal, however, has Dever aroused much more than academic interest, to the best of our belief. M. Cucherosiet points to railway extensions in the near future, and says regarding the Isthmus of Kra that in a few thousand years the waters will have done their work, and there will be a atrait there. "Meantime the distance between the estuary of the Pakchan river on the estuary Indian Ocean, and the of the Chumpon river, OR the

Gulf of Siam, is some forty kilometres. The highest point is a plain of 30 metres altitude. About 125 km. south of Chumpon there is a second interruption of the mountain chain running betwEEN LIKE town of Chalya on the Galf side. and the island of Puket on the Indian Ocean side. Following this depres sion the distance between the two seas is about 175 Kni. Then 215 km. to the south of Chaiya there is a third | and last depression along which the railway runs to Trang. The distance between Trang on the Indian Ocean and: Patalung on the Inland Sea is about 70 kin. Shortly after the isthmus of Suez was pierced and the idea of the Panama canal was being launched, the question of piercing the Isthmus of Kra was raised several times. And even before the open- ing of the Suez Canal there was the idea of making a ralway across the isthmus of Kra. In April, 1861, two British naval cap- tains, Forlang and Fraser made the journey between the rivers Palchan and Chumpen and back, a journey that lasted six days.-The conclusion they came to was that a railway could easily be constructed at a cost of about eight million franes. They did not think a capai a practical pro- position. They worked out that by a railway there would be a consider- ahle saving in time and money -in journeying between Ceylon or India and Hongkong.
