As anticipated, the Scopy special arrived in Chicago six minutes ahead of the fastest esi timate and beating Peacock special's race against death" in 1950 by only four minutes lers than six hours.

Kliminating stops, the run was made in 43 hours 55min., or an average for the exact dis- tance of 2 244 miles or 51ęmiles an hour.

The real name of the Crocsus is Waiter Scott, who found gold a few years ago in the mysterious canyons of "Death Valley," whose scorching nitre plains are whitened by the bones of hundreds of treasure-hunters. No rain ever 'falls there, and the stillness of eternal desolation is supreme.

Scotty has arrived in New York for the first time since the days when he was thankful for a sandwich in the Bowery.

ity of the scheme established by the last mony of many eminent scientific and practical author. lies in the evidenca given before the com- mittee of the House of Conimons which, during the Session of 18ye, found the pramble of the bill proved. The final adhesion of both Houses was then left dependent alone upon the pros. pect of corresponding action being taken by France for the provision of harbour arrange ments similar to those proposed at Dover. As the harbour at Calais was not, considered capable of the required improvement for this traffic, a sire for a new deep-water harbour was selected at Andresselles, a little to the south of L'ape 'Grisnez. Unfortunately, there then came the outbreak of the Franco-German war, which diverted the course of all peaceful enterprise in France. However, in 1871, the French Government, who called on M, Dupuy sche was resuscitated, this time by, the

de Lome to prepare plans for a water-station at Calais, two kilomètres outside the harbour, and one kilamètre from shore. M, de 16mè's scheme took the form of a large dock, covering an area of 147,094 square yards, connected with the shore by an iron bridge. The pro- posed dock frightened Lord Lawrence, who scented in it a project for converting Calais into a naval arsenal Hence his casting vote, which led to the failure of the second bist.

It may be added that the late Lord Arm- strong was consulted about the equipment of the water-stations, and he undertook to provide lift that would complete the operation of transferring a passenger train, 200 tons in weight, from pier to steamer, and vice versa, in one minute. Further, Mr. Laird had designed a type of ferry boat for the service, length 450 feet, beam Kiligh, draught 12 feet, with engines of 10,000-holïa power, it was proposed to have two lines of rails on the upper deck for the accommodation and com- peta shelter of the passenger vehicles, and two more lines on the lower deck for goods trucks.

"Car Ferries," as they are termed, are quite common in America, and goods waggons make unmu long voyages on the lakes in this man- nor. They are, niro met with on the Swiss. Jakes. All these ferry-boats ply, however, on comparatively qulet inland waters, and are con fined to the transport of merchandise.

by mechanical, in contradiction to "power" means. The vehicles to be transported are pushed on board by a small shunting locomo Live. It the sea promises to be rough their wheels are scotched, and they are clamped to the metals by means of acrew.couplars, which bite each rail and each buffer-rod. During the voyage, the buffers, brake mechanism, and athet, metal work, are swathed in billikipa. On roaching the opposite port a gangway owered as before, and locked to the deck, and, the carriages are then drawn off through the apposite end of the vessel by an engine, which goes on board for them.

"SILESIA,"

The working of the Danish train-forries is wholly admirable, whether from the technical, trader's, or passenger's point of view. Many English travellers enter the sleeping car at Esbjerg, and wake up at Copenhagen the fol lowing morning, without ever knowing that THE H.A. L. Steamship they have been twice borne oversen, and the Nyborg-Körsor passage is as long as that be- tween Dover and Calais. It is only fair to state that complaints are made about the Cjedser-Warnemünde service, owing to pas sengem, by the day train especially, being sea sick in the carriages, with the result that the vehicles are always more or less permeated with a dreadfully suggestive aroma.

It may be taken for granted, therefore, that the Danish precedent establishes beyond all doubt the practicability of establishing a float- ing railway across the Channel. The only weak spots in the project are that it does not seem to take into account the slight difference in the standard gauges of English and French railways Nominally the running-gauge is the same, namely, 4 feet 88 inches; but the French take the centres of the rails as the basis of measurement, which gives 4 feet 9 inches between the rails. Although there might be

It is realised that the crux of the Channel Ferry problem is whether such boala could make the passage during the boisterous weather which so often prevails in the Straits. of Dover. The projectors of the present Entrance- scheme assert that they could, and point to the successful and uninterrupted working of the Danish train ferries since 1883, under con ditions very similar to those met with in the English Channel. In fact, the present scheme is modelled on the Danish, of which we may furnish some account.
