macadamization, and that such a law would be unfair, as it would be a double taxation for the same purpose. The way to remedy this would be to remit this special tax to any person laying a sidewalk in front of his property, and it would be an advantage also to the person availing himself of it, as he would thus get clear of the tax for mac- adamization. Several persons already, des» pairing of ever getting anything done by the City, have laid good brick sideswalks in front of their houses, and it is unfair that they should now be taxed to do the same in front of other people's.

And, would it not be well for the “Civic Fathers,’ before proceeding further with the macadamizing of our streets, to con- sider the propriety of laying side-walks First, as then the side-walks could be made to suit the streets, and not the streets to suit the side-walks, the present mode of progression savoring too much of “ buying

This leaves a streak cf three and onexhalf neither side-walk nor yet and when the side-walks are laid this has to be gone over again. By laying the sidewalks first, as I suggest, this would be avoided, and the curbstone could serve as one side of the gutter, thus lessen. ing the expense of the work. And, instead of each person laying whatever style and width of sideswalk that may suit his fancy, (as at present) let the City Authorities take the matter into their hands, and, calling for tenders, let the performance of the work out, a block or street at a time, — this will, at least, secure uniformity, (if it does not lessen the expenses) and do away with un-~ necessary curbstones, running transversely, which serve only to mark the boundary of a man’s property.

She will be driven by two sats of paddleswheel engines,acting upon a doubel set of paddie-wheels, situated [00 feet apart, the aggregate power of the engines being no less than 4,600 horse power The two ends of the ship are alike, and each will be furnished with a rudder. Her most char- acteristic feature is her saioon, which will be 70 feet long and 30 feet wide, and suspended upon massive pivots at the centre and ex~ tremities. Thus supported, it will be brought ugder the control of a powerful hydraulic géar, worked by the principal boilers of the ship. This gear will be so arranged that it is expected a man will be able to impart to the saloon a rolling motion in relation to the ship precisely the reverse of that which the ship herselfreceives. The engine itis aatici- pated, wiil drive the vessel at a speed exceed- ing 20 miles an hour.—Scienlific American.
