According to the most recent and best calculations the limits of its
carrying capacity will be fifty million registered tonnage a year. That is
the limit imposed by the water supply. It will begin operations with
ten million five hundred thousand tons a year. Statisticians foresee that
its traffic will be at least forty million tons for the twentieth year of its
operation, and one must not forget that at the Sault Ste. Marie canal
traffic has risen from ten million five hundred thousand to forty-five mil

The Suez canal is a different proposition altogether. Its tonnage has
risen to only ten million in thirty years. The Suez canal simply united

of the rules. . -
It seems to us that the game can be so much simplified that these calam
ities will not be annually recorded. Other sports do not take their toll of
life. Some of them record injuries ofa minor and trivial nature but even the
game of baseball that has such a fascination for the American mind does not
have in its annals any such calamities as the football sport of which the col
leges are so fond.
In that game, it is merely the question of the -survival of the fittest. The
strongest team usually wins and the brawn sometimes, at least, triumphs over
the brains of the opposition. Though the Iron Duke of Wellington used to
say that the soldiers of the British army were trained on the football fields
of Rugby, there are other ways that the stamina of a man can be brought out
and his courage put to the test than by matching him against a charging
weight of flesh on the gridiron of a college.
Opportunities come and go, but they
never return. A bank balance helps
to seize and to utilize opportunities.
