Bo T Street We give a showing the loca tion an interesting novel en terprise which is now under construc tion in Canada Toe proposal to ships by r has been nfJV notably with and the adjacent Honduras and Nica ragua routes the ship railway is the first practical attempt to communication by means of railway The narrow neck of land connect the province of Nova Scotia with the mainland of Canada has long been considered as a suitable site for a canal to obviate tho long and dan coasting voyage either by straits of or that Capo Breton island a saving of some or miles respectively The route has been- surveyed by engineers but heavy cost of cutting the canal add the practical connected rise of- tides some twenty feet at springs the bay of have prevented the execution of the work The scheme of Mr for a ship railway was finally adopted and the Marino Transport Railway was incorporated by special act of the Dominion Par liament with a share capital of 000P00 and an debenture capital of Tho Canadian government in consideration- of the advantages to accrue to the mari time provinces and the intercolonial trado generally granted to the com pany a of year for twenty from opening of line capital was raised in London and a contract made with Messrs Meiggs Bon for the work Construction was commenced in September Sir Foo ler and Baker tho well- known engineers of the Forth bridge are associated with sir in superintendence of works which it is expected will bo completed in autumn of the present year 1891 The principal portions of the great work are now approaching comple tion The map which we give shows position of the railway and the greit saving of distance to be effected by of tbe new route which wilt moreover permit the ass of lake- going vessels In coasting trade between New England and Canadian porta A basin 600 feet long and feet wide is constructed at the bay of end of line with a to enclose water when the tide is oat Treading from basin is a lifting dock by feot containing twenty bydraulto presses for lifting vessels with their cargoes height of forty feet vessel is into position between the presses and immediately over a grid iron and crodlo the whole being then by the lift until nils sup porting tltera are brought up to level of rails of vessel and which rest on wheels will then bo hauled by hydraullo apparatus to railway track The extreme weight proposed to bo raised is 3600 tons the gridiron cradle and a loaded vessl of tons displacement or tons register Tito railway is a double track seventeen miles long perfectly straight Rod on almost a dead level rails weighing 110 to the yard largo number of wheels carrying tho cradle will tribute the load so that each wheel only carries a comparatively small burden Two locomotives one on each track are calculated to move with case tbo largest vessel proposed to bo carried across at of ten miles so hour On arriving at the terminus a reversal of tbV pro cess will lower vessel to water level the whole transit occupy ing a period of two hours It seems proljsble that when the of the system has been on the rail way the transport of ships by rail may be adopted on several routes for various reasons water ways cannot be provided Theoreti cal objections to the scheme mean time little weight in the of the opinion of the eminent engineers who have planned and now superin tend work and of tho support of the Canadian government evidenced by guarantee given the capital In subsequent numbers we Intend to the details of remark able work la booming in once more after ft hard winter It is

overtaken by a fierce storm and they helplessly drifted out of their couraa By and by their little boat began to fill with water and their only hope of safety was to cast the keg of money overboard to lighten their load which they did in the vicinity of Inland To this day tbe keg remains it was fiuog on that occasion the officers in vain tried to recover it after the storm bad gone down Some
