So hero s to a our weans in ringing frosty weather wha whirl their brooms and hurl their stones and yell like dolls tue Gither a Brand new sensation. France projects n scheme by which a 1000 feet drop if the French Are making amusement plan suggestions to Chicago for its world s fair. Says the graphic the suggestion from this source As far As Novelty is concerned is that explained by the accompanying illustration. The scheme in Brief consists simply in. Drop King a projectile shaped car from a Tower 000 feet in height into a Basin of water. Tew of the falling Cah. To originator of this plan says that certain motions Aro aroused by falling a Blo distance these to nations Cru excited in minor degree by a rapid descent in an Elo Ator. If it to possible to Mako a fall of ,000 feet perfectly the human family vill Havo an Opportunity to experience a now it of emotions. Tho inventor of this project has worked out any of the details. The Cigar shaped car according to his Lnu should be built of tool with a number of Interior Cones to revolt compression of air in the passenger when Tho Craft strikes tha Vator. The proper height of Tho projectile is von As about forty feet and its weight is at eleven tons. If dropped from a height of feet Tho or will be travelling at a Speed of 250 feet it second when it strikes the water. As to s is considered More than Throe times As test As an express train Tho occupants Ifould gain an idea of that rapid transit Means. The is to to 200 feet deep. Before caching that depth the resistance of the Vator will bring the projectile to a gradual top Whu it will Rise to Tho surface ready to in carried to Tho elevator lending to the wer from which to drop is Tuulo. Tho Krestof motion will be so gradual that the love passengers seated on Insl ironed chairs n a floor resting on Springs will not be jarred Thisu the Craft strikes Tho War or. Uii fortunately the suggestion will to con More preposterous. Tho scheme however one which i seriously discussed by aristids Serges of Tho Paris polytechnic school. Charles Currau Boa mile a careful study of All the conditions connected the exec Ion of a project of this kind. He has stated t As his opinion that Thero Are no reasons tactical or theoretical to pro vent Tho actual realization of Tho scheme. No Stone the handle hns a Uso it l w of Tho port As it thac the to notoriety. Are you the editor of the i am. What can i do for Well i thought i d step up and see How of Are.

Well i know an Zdilor s time is valuable so i la say Good a Messen Ger. _ or. Campbell s views in his own words. It could not be More than an even f competing electors of Winnipeg read for yourselves or. Campbell s words on March 2nd, 1889, the Hudson Bay railway question being up in the legislature or. Isaac Campbell made a lengthy speech. From that speech s published in the paper always Friendly to him the following extracts Are made the a 13. Would be a competing line but not to much Moro Chat we would have to rive it extra privileges. Then consider the Road As a competing line. The distance from Liverpool to Montreal was Miles from Liverpool k Nelson Miles or 1s2 Milea in favor of Montreal Bat 100 Miles of an Ocean voyage amounted to nothing. Consider next the routes from Winnipeg to Montreal and from Winnipeg to Nelson. From Winnipeg to Fork William is 427 or 428 Miles to Nelson it a Flora to 700 Miles to Churchill rather More Between 700 700 Miles in Manitoba Aud 400 Miles that would be 2co Milea farther to Nucleon than to fort William. To fort William the coat of hauling Grain from Winnipeg is 12j cents per add the probable Coet of three fifths greater would be cents for the 200 Milan extra. Bat the speaker said he was not going to add 7 cents. Long hauls were always Leas than Short hauls. Instead of the former calculation to would say that to Hudson s Bay the extra charge would be 4 cents More. Then there was Nelson Arnist fort William with 4 cents in favor of the latter. When at fort William the wheat was still to go o Montreal at a Coet of from 8 to 84 cents per Bushel during the summer season. Six and a half was the computation of Tho Cost part of last summer. These were shippers figures. So that 7i cents might be counted As the Normal rate from fort William to Montreal. Via the East and West line it comb 4 cents less to deliver wheat at port Arthur than at Hudson s Bay via the h. B. E. Against that 4 cents was the extra 7j cents a Good aver Ajro of Tho expense of the haul from port Arthur to Montreal. It was perfectly Plain that if a dealer had bushels of wheat on the Way to Montreal the same amount would average from to 3 cents better to England if leaving this province for direct shipment. The doubt As to the navigability the Strait would make a difference in insurance. In the summer by the lakes the rate Milf a cent per Bushel in november a cent and three fourths. Thero was also Tho consideration of Competition. There were a class of steamers known As Ocean tramps that come in and compete against the regular Ines of steamers. If they could not make a charter at Boston or new York then they could come along the coast to borne other places. These Ocean tramps Cut rate to Little of Lothing some Timea. It would be a Long time the speaker thought before Tho Ocean ramps would go to Hudson Bay. Of course it was proposed to establish a regular line of learners in connection with tha railway but Thero would be no Competition. Instances were Iven of times when via the East and West route wheat was carried for ballast and paid for by hip owners. By the calculation made Between the Mil route to Montreal and the h. B. He speaker found that it would be about an cheap transportation Ono Way As tic other. The h. B. R., no matter if the season is what Lieut. Gordon said t was four months would be an outlet for the Northwest territories but it could not be More than an even competing line to the province of Manitoba red with the East and West again on the 24th of March 1890, the Hudson Bay railway question was under discussion. Or. Campbell on that occasion according to the report of the paper also always Friendly to him opened his Peech by admitting that it was to be deprecatory of the Enterprise. These were his opening words intending As i do to support the Bill which proposes to give the sum of to Tho h. B. The Ordinary debate would a to offer reasons for giving that amount but inasmuch an the criticism offered to Tho Bill a that the amount is too a trill for a Tsoh a meritorious enter prise it places upon me the duty apparently of deprecating the too High estimate which i think has been placed upon this Road. That it will be by fair estimate a railway competing on Efen terms with roads running to the East we admit and therefore it should be assisted to the Maina extent. The proposals of Forcer Days when people were excited Over the scheme the merits of which were overstated and when disallowance prevented the opening of competing routes to the Southeast form no reason for placing a Burden upon Tho province greater than that these Are the words of or. Isaac Campbell on two different occasions a year apart As reported by papers Friendly to the speaker. Are they tha words of a Friend or an enemy of the Hudson Bay railway f t my baby. For thy dear Sake my Litho one i stifle Many a bitter sigh. For thy Swoot Lefo i it gain my cherished wishes to deny. Of sacred Trust my Babr fair How can i Ziy Worth to me salvation for my erring soul in thy Clear eyes i Dally see. Dear a Lille arms that cling and Tsiao around thy Mother s lonely heart dear Little hands Laid in my own. God Grant that to May never part. Sweet Little voice and Brokon words More eloquent than songs of lore a spell is in thy lowest tones that lifts to into realms above. Russell in now York Ledger. Useful Annie a horse had been pulling a heavily loaded Wagon suddenly took it into his head to lie Down on state Street and then he refused to Rise. A Inge number of men gathered around and of coarse every Man. Had a suggestion to offer. Yank the by Idle yelled a Man in a buggy. The braille was but tha horse still Lay there. Twitch his Tail screamed a Man on the sidewalk. Tho Tail was twitched and Tho horse seemed rather to like it. Poke him in the said a third Sug Gestur. The prodding was promptly performed. No result.

The crowd was ready to try anything and it detailed four venturesome men climbed on the horse and kicked simultaneously with their double quartet of heels. But the animal never budged. Tho situation was getting serious for the crowd was blocking tha thoroughfare when a. Genius yelled sing Litho Annie roouey1 to that was enough.
