_ Not an Eleventh-hour Scheme. 
- Speaking of the proposition ad- 
vanced by Pres. Mellen of the B. & 
M. to electrify the ‘‘narrow gauge’’ 
and extend it to the Gloucester 
branch, Sylvester Baxter, secretary 
A the recent Metropolitan commis- 
sion, says: 
_ **A& glance backward in sufficient 
to show that the newly broached 
1 project is far from being an Eleven- 
th-hour scheme concocted for the 
ke of cloaking an essentially im- 
Deacticable proposition. When the 
‘era was first proposed the stud- 
of possible advantages therefrom, 
“made public at the time, included 
3 ot only a cross-town tunnel be- 
ween South and North stations, but 
Pa second tunnel under the harbor 
between East Boston and South Bos- 
ton, It has not yet been brought 
out that the route to bring the Re- 
_yere Beach line into the South sta- 
tion is not across to the city proper; 
as indicated by the studies of three 
_ years ago, the tunnel runs directly 
to South Boston and thence under 
Fort Point channel to the South 
_ station, there connecting with the 
. existing but almost forgotten sub- 
_ way loop, thus ultilizing at last that 
_ eostly feature. 
“This route makes almost an air 
line from the South station through 
to Beverly. The capitalization of 
_ the distance thus saved in operation 
‘in itself contributes materially to- 
ward meeting the cost of the im- 
provement. But there are various 
enormous advantages. Let us look 
at some of these: 
**1. As to the Revere Beach line’s 
_ present service. It makes Revere 
_ Beach itself, Greater Boston’s most 
4 popular recreation ground, practi- 
ally as central as Boston Common, 
shortening the trip thither to less 
than half the present time. Corres- 
Bice part it brings Winthrop and a 
rge part of Revere as near to Bos- 
ton centre as Dudley street is by the 
Boston Elevated. It makes Lynn 
nearer in time than Forest hills.

with the Boston Elevated’s surface 
and rapid transit systems including 
the contemplated Summer street ex- 
tension of the Cambridge subway to 
South Boston and Dorchester.

Swampscott, Salem, Beverly and 
other points in that populous group, 
and practically extends Greater Bos- 
ton to Cape Ann. It implies the el- 
ectrification of the Marblehead 
branch as well as the Gloucester 
branch. It means a fairly marvelous 
acceleration in population and _ in- 
dustry for this great region- 
‘“2 Tt enormously changes the ac- 
cessibility of the entire North Shore 
pleasure region, both from Boston 
and the country at large. With op- 
portunities for through trains, spe- 
cial and regular, and for private 
ears from New York and beyond, the 
national popularity of the Cape ‘Ann 
region will immensely increase.

The Boston Journal has been hav- 
ing a great deal to say of late about 
the ‘‘shortest’’ and ‘‘longest’’ nam- 
es. Now some one comes forward 
and asks me if I know the meaning 
of the following word: 
Superuncontradistin euishabili- 
tiveness’’. This is said to be the 
longest word in the English langu- 
age.

The speed at which the automo- 
bile combination of the Revere fire 
department travelled over the rough 
roads in answering the eall for as- 
sistance for the hotel fire in Win- 
‘throp the other morning greatly 
pleased Chief Kimball of Revere, and 
proved his contention that the horse- 
less machines are the only things 
for the long eross country runs. 
The prospects are very bright for 
the police department of that town 
to follow the fire department’s ex- 
ample and install an automobile 
combination patrol and ambulance.
