THE WEAPON BUT MAJOR INGALLE \"OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY IS CERTAIN OF ITS THROWING A PROJECTILE 21 MILES, Major James M.Ingalls, the greatest autharity on oallistics in the United States army, has just worked up \u2018a range table for the new 16- inch gun building for the American Government, which shows that the range of that weapon will be 20,978 miles.The new 16-inch gun is now nearing completion at the Watervliet ar- \u2018senal.When finished it will be not only the heaviest gun in thé World and the longest gun ever built, but it will be the most powerful gun in existence.Fiver since the.huilding of the 16- inch gun was commenced artillerists have been engaged in calculating the various points of efficiency of the great weapon.The new gun, it must pe borne in mind, is no toy.Its weight will approximate closely to 126 tons, while the projectile designed lor it will weigh 2,370 pounds, or one ton 130 pounds.Some time ago a noted German artillery officer calculated that the range of the new we pon would be about sixteen miles.This Germæn officer expressed doubt, however, of the conditions being obtainable which werc necessary to insure a sixteen-mile range Major Ingalls now figures out that the range will be'very nearly twenty-one miles, which range he deems attainable at a much lower angle of elevation than was declared necessary by the German officer.Major Ingalls shows by the closest mathematical deauctions that the shot of the 16-inch gun in ranging to 20,978 miles will reach a maximum elevation of 30,518 feet, or more than five miles.This enormous range and accompanying elevation, he declares, is attainable on a muzzle velocity of 2,600 foot-seconds, with the gun laid at au angle elevation of 40 degrees.Firing the same gun with a muzzle velocity of only 2,000.feet per second and the range, he calculates, will be 13.971 miles, with a corresponding maximum elevation of 19,302 feet.Major Ingalls, who makes the above calculations, is regarded as the most remarkable man in his line\u2014ordnance \u2014in the United Htates service.He is better known, in fact, in Europe than in America.His text books on gun firing are translated into several languages, and are used in all the noted military achools of Europe.Atithe time of the Queen's Jubilee, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Victoria's reign, the English artillery authorities decided to fire a shot from ga piece of heavy ordnance with the object of attaining the greatest possible range.The gun employed had a callibre of 9.2 inches.It corresponded in general features to the 10-inch guns of the United States Navy.Eeveral months prior to the firing the English authorities sent out data to the officers of var- jous foreign armies with an finvita- tion thal a representative of each army calculate how, far the shot would travel.\u2018The representative chosen for the United States ariny was Major, then Captain, James M.Ingalls, of the Fifth Regiment of Artillery.Ingalls carefully worked out the problem.The data furnished to sim by the English authorities stated the weight of the shell, the weight of the powder charge, the angle of elevation at which the gun would be laid for firing, and, in addition, there was furnished a table setting forth the atinospheric conditions which had prevailed at \u201cchoeburyness, England, (the firing point), tor ten years back, on the corresponding hour day of the year on which the shot wus fired.Ingalls passed in his calculations, sealed, through the regular military channels.The day for the firing came around.; The great gun was discharged, and as elaborate preparations had been made to determine the fail of the projectile, it was not long before the actual range attained was measured off.It was found to be a trifle over men.Respectfully, twelve miles.\u2018Thea came the opening of the seal- Give name ard ed envelopes.It was curious to note address in full how the answers varied.Officers of

deny that there is a kissing bug.But the lips that have been osculated, the swellings that have been raised and the excitement that has been created are, say the scientists, the work of others.William Bentenmuller, Entomology atythe Museum of(Natütscorn of the kissing bugs wad expresses the belief thaz most of \u201che bites are those of the mosquitoes or else of a more humble insect, whose hosts as a rule are unwilling to admit that théy entertain him.\u201cThese kissing bug stories make me tired, said Mr.Bentenmuller.\u201cEvery day, je he continued, this office is besieged with people aïmed with ussortments vf bugs, and they want to know if they are kissing bugs.Of course they are not.They may be lady bugs, or electric light bugs, or potato bugs, but they are not kissing bugs.Even when I go home my children meet me with collections of bugs, and I have to classify each bug and explain its habits.It is like working overtime.\u201cThe other day I picked up a news- paver and saw a picture of a strange- looking insect labelled \u2018\u2019kissing bug.\" On close inspection I recognized it as a parasite that lives on cockroaches.All this is trying.Dr.Cyrus Edson mentions several insects which are capable of inflicting severe stings.They flourish In picrie grounds, invade houses and enter bedchambers.\u2018The most terrible of these are the wolf spiders.\u2018They have no webs, and during the day lie hidden in silken nets under stones or chips.At night they sally forth and if smaller insects are not at hand they do not scruple to attack human beings.Their bite is fo'lowed by a swelling of the part, accompanied by great pain, itching and inflammation, Chilliness and fever succesd each other rapidly, and children and weak persons often experience convulsions.The pain lasts for several days and departs only after fres perspiration.The wolf spiders are very common in the Northern and Eastern States.In rainy weather they are apt to in vade houses.They are numerous on the shores of stony lakes, and young ladies who picnic in such places will do well to watch for them.Watery places seem to afford shelter for other poisonous insects, and in the ponds and rivers about New York will be found thousands of little cren- tures called \u2018water boatmen.\u201d\u201d They are oval hugs, swimming Shon their backs, and although they do not attack human beings they are likely to bite when in fear.If a bather should step on a hoatman, or a young lady accidentally corner one while dabbling in the water.a sharp.painful and poisonous bite might ensue.Another water bug which is dangerous when cornered is the enormous belostoma, now called the electric light bug.This big fellow lives in the water and pursues little fish, which it impales upon its powerful sting.It avoids human beings, but will sting terribly when in fear.\u2018There is also a family of water scorpions (nepidae).They are brown and very sluggish, but if handled by human beings are itkely to give se ver®- bites.The two-spottedpatorsair (Bigu'ta- tus) and the cone-nose (Conorhinus Sanguisuga) flourish largely in the Southern States.They have also been found in Ohio and Illinois.Thay are both terrible biters, and it is to the latter that Mr.Bentenmulle attributes the work now generally as cribed to the kissing bug.The Con- , | orhinus once bit the wife of Prof.J.G.Lemon, a noted entomologist.\u201csuddenly Mrs Lemon screamed,\u2019 writes this scientist, \u2018and a large, flat, rAmble-fouted bug was seen hurrying into a crevice.It wus pitiful to see the tears rolling down her cheeks as she swung her aris about while applying smmonia to allay the pain.\u201d The presence of this insect is not felt until the bite has heen given.Its beak in very hard, nearly a quarter of an inch long, and can be inserted through any summer clothing.The bite is followed hy a large swelling and a festering sore which œuins.itches and discharges pus for several days.A cousin of the cone-nose is the wheel bug.It prefers to avoid mæn- kind and never enters houses, hut its bite, when it does bite, is so terrible as to leave both hand and arm uselesa for seserul days.It may be distinguisted from the cone-nose Ly an arched and serrated projection on its back.Caterpillers, which are so dreaded by women, are really, in some cases, quite deserving of the fear they inspire.The Jo moth, for instance, breeds a green caterpiller,with stripes of white or lilac red along ita sides.It is covered with puisonous spines, and as it crawls over the skin it leaves red marks which itch and burn with great intensity.\u2018The inale To moth is colored a deep yellow, wark- ed with purple red.The body and Curator of al History, New york, speaks , with | dle, covered with short, stinging spines, concealed by hair.There are other stinging caterpillers too numerous to mention.They are good things to avoid.Beetles do not bite,, but some of them eject chemical fluid whish raises blisters upon the human skin.The macrobasis is of this variety.LITERARY NOTES.\u201cMany Cargoes,\u2018\u2019 by W.W.Jacobs, (Copp.Clark, Toronto), ie a reprint of short stories which has gleady ap peared in

Travel.Aight,\u201d made kiowh by hit bout the Interests.OBSERVE THAT THE .HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GO AROUND IT.The earth of to-day is, of coarse.practically identical in size with the earth of yesterday, or, for aught we know to the contrary, witn the earth of a million years ago.llut, so far as ense in traversing it is concerned, it has shrunk to comparatnely vr finitesima! proportions.Magellan's expedition, for instance, which was the first to ¢ircuinavi- gate it, took nearly thre years lo accomplish the journev.Magellanwhose real, by the hye.was Mugsihaens.was & native of l'ortuxal, and was in the service of Spain.Ile sailed from the latter country on September 20, 1518, with a fleet of five ships, of which the higgest did not much exceed in-ppiat of size decent Thames mud-barze.Two of these were lost in wia- Atlantic, but with the remaining three he passed the straits muned after him on November =¥, 352.On the 17th of the following April he was killed in a conflict with the natives of the Philippine Isluvda, near where now stands the city of Manila.Since then steam and railways have enabled the trip Lo le accom plished in fifty-two days.In otber words, the globe of Magellan's slurs was twenty-one times as big as it ix to-day ; or, putting it another way, the earth has shrunk from a globe of 24,000 miles in circumference to one of about 1.142 miles only.After Magellan's expedition came that of Sir Francis Drake, the first \u2018English circumnavigator of the globe.Like his Portuguese predecessor.Drake seems .to have taken things pretty easily.He had five ships, of which the largest.the Pelican, was only 100 tons.He left Plymouth on December 138, 1577, returning thereto with one ship only on September 26.1580.This cannot be counted as a parti- eularly brilliant exploit in the way of record-breaking, especially as Magellan had already shown him the \u201cway.But a little later in the century came Cavendish, who managed to perform the journey in less than twenty-six months, sailing from Plymouth on July 21, 1588.and coming back on September 70, 1588.This was counted a wonderful performance.William Dampier, buccaneer, pirate, author, and hydrographer, established a record in another direction, in that it took him just twelve years to get around.seems to have been a clever man, albeit a rough, tyrannical bully.But we can lowered it still further.What is the actual record today ?It is not an.easy question to answer ; but.so far as the writer has been able to ascertain.it stands at fifty-two days.At all events this is tie figure given by the chief of the statistical department at the I\u2019.and 0.office in Leadenhall street.It was wade, it appears, as far back as the year 1891, when an ofi- eiul of the company, learning that a special effort was to be made by the Canadian Pacitie Railway Company to break the record between Yokohama and London, determined to make the trip.He accordingly travelled overland to Brindisi, where he joined his own company\u2019s mail steasner, reaching Hong Kong in twenty-four days.A few daysispent there.and the journey was then resumed to Yokohama, the voyage being performed in five days at an average speed of flf- teen knots an hour.At Yokohama @nother day was lost : but at 8.45 a.m.on August 19 the Empress of Japan, with the mails and the traveller.leit the harbour, arriving ut the Royal Roads, Victoria, at 4.2% a.m.on August 29.Vancouver was reached a\u2018 noon the same day.and thence a special train coverea the 2,802 miles to the Atlantic seaboard in 76 hours 35 minutes.In New York harbour a swiit steamer was Iving.fires banked up.and by her aid London was reached a few minotes under the twenty-vne days from Yokohama.: The times for this record run rodnd the globe were therefore follows :\u2014 .London to Hong Kong\u2026.24 days.Resting in Hong Ilong\u2014 1 day.Hong Kong to Yokohama.© duys.Resting in Yokohama.Yokohama to London.Total cece errors Can this be still further rodieed ?\u201cEmphatically\u2014yes,'\u2019 say the best authorities.The two days lost at Hung Kong and Yokohama Tuxpectively might, 2asily be utilized.thus lowering the record aL once to a level fifty days.Nor is this all.Assuming that money were no nl- ject, swift steel boats of the tor- pedo-destroyer \u2018ype ight he bu.it to cover the sea portion of the journey in nineteen duys.thereby Lringing the time for rae entive trip down to twenty-five or twenty-six days.To fly round the world at this terrific speed, however \u201ctrould mean a fearfal strain upon whoever might be: forgive him much, for he it was who \u2018marooned\u2019 Alexander Selkirk on the lonely island of Juan Fernandez, thereby rendering possible the writing of \u2018Robinson Crusoe.\u201d With the improvement in the construction of ships, and their increase in size.the round-the-world record was gradually reduced to shout 140 days: at whieh it remained until the introduc tion of monster steamships and the rash enough to undertake it.TO THE, DEAF\u2014A rich lady, cured of her Doafness and Noims in the Head hy Dr.Nicholon's Artificial Ear Drums, has nent £1,000 to his

joore sensitive to the invisible rays than are the salts of silver.- Mr.J.H.Collins lately read a paper before the Nociety of Arts, England.in which he stated that tin mining had been carried on in Cornwall for about four thousand years if not longer.In his opinion the tin used in fixing the color of the scarlet curtains in the Hebrew Tabernacle, in making the brass of Folomon's Temple and the bronze weapon's of Homer's heroes came from the West Country, and the Phoenicians tvaded for tin in the West of England long before Solomon's Temple was built.A new are lamp.capable of opernt- ing economically on a continuous current circuit, has been tested successfully in Berlin.The lamp is of the differential type, and the regulation is effected through the medium of a series \u2018coil, a shunt coil and a dead resistance, but: the latter is used only in starting, to prevent a rush of current.Immediately after starting a solmoid in the circuit of the main current operates a sliding contact, which cuts out the dead .resistance.The practical elimination of the dead sesistance during the burning of tbe lamp effects a saving of twenty-five to thirty per cent.A Frenchman, named

enjoining upon the people the observance of courtesy andetact in their intercourse with foreigners.\u2019 Thus says the telegrum from Yokohama, and as Great Dritain is one of the foreign Powers concerned, the significance of this change for Itritish residents and travellers in Japan should be clearly understood.The warning is needed, for although the people in general are quite averse to the change, the Emperor's will is law.There is a strong divergence of opinion as to whether the new order of things will be the best for the foreigners, particularly in view\u2019 of the conflicting elements by which the country is swayed, for -the Japanese press has recently revealed an unmistakable light a number of points on which Westerners had generally been suspicious, but which, when brought prominently forward, the Japanese press has persistently denied.And probably the most prominent has been the question of religious equality.\u2018There is not the least doubt that this is by law admitted and confirm ed, but the actions of the Japanese have often caused considerable mis givings to foreigners engaged in educational work in Japan, for not only have they been subject to indignities on many occasions.hut the pupils they have edycated have been denied Government and official positions on the sole ground that they were Christians.It is not only with individuals, but with large and well-en- dowed institutions, that similar treatment is meted ou®.Rather more than a year ago a law was passed, excluding certain high schools and colleges from the conscription on the condition that Christianity -was not taught in them.There is little doubt that this Act was aimed at the great educational institution in \u2018Kiyoto which was founded and endowed by Christian societies in America ; fur the Japanese trustees of this institution, in order to obtain the benefits of that Act for their pupils, aitered the name of the institution, and placed.the whole buildings, with the exception of one solitary room, ' to education which excluded Christian principles.Tu this the American subscribers took exception, and sent out to Japan a commission to defend their rights.For several months this commission was treated by the Japanese trustees with a negation which became almost insulting ; and although Count Okuma, the late l\u2019rime Minister, did all he could in his private capacity to bring about an amicable settlement, the Japanese trustees refused the slightest conceasion; until the Ame rican Commission threatened to take the matter to the Japanese Law Courts.However, on this threat he- ing put into execution, the whole mail.Japanese Board resigned, and a new ~ Copper Shares.Safest Investment, Largest Dividendsa ,- A portion of tbe fall paid and

NARROW VIEWS PREVAIL IN JAPAN.a one was elected which admitted the Christian principles of the institution, Next the foreign community were informed of an edict, passed by the Higher Œducationai Council, prohibiting religious education of any kind in any private school in Japan.How far this law will extend, no far as missionaries und others engaged in similar work are concerned, it is difficult at present to say ; but there is little doubt that it has been aimed at the Doshisha in Kiyoto and other similar institutions in the country under foreign assistance or management, where a better education can be procured than in the Government establishments.In fact, it is nothing, more or less than the thin end of he wedge to drive foreigners out of all the educational Institutions in the country.and destroy the great work which religious and philanthropic bodies have heen so successful in doing In Japan.I am glad to say that the Japanese press generally has taken the mater up in no unmeasured terms.antl has condenned the action of th: Higher Educational Council.But it must not be forgotten that a large number of the more enlightened and better educated members of \u2018the Japanese press have received their instructions in one or other of the educational institutions in this country, which are eisner supported or maintained by foreign assistance and money, and that this act of the Higher Educational Council has a Jouble object in that it dpes not want to confess that a better e:w'u- tion can be obtained in these pri- ute schools thar can be obtained in the Governmeat - institutiona, consc- (ently it intess's by a side issue lo do away with those sthools by a legal process in order that it may not have to maks this adm'ns.on.This is one of the maa, mens which are daily coming to hg :, which show convincingly the ice; rooted conservatism of the Japanese, and that, although a small but er- lightened number of them have a desire to treat foreigners homourably and fairly in accordance with the spirit of the Revised Treaties, by far the greater number of them are as exclusive and illiberal to outsiders as they were when foreigners first came to Japen.: And a further proof of this has been exposed very recently.Every one who has travelled in the interior of the-country has had experience \u2018of the exhorbitant charges which are generally made by hotel-keepers, hut it was not generally known that these charges were sanctioned by the ruling authorities.In every hotel or inn in the coun try the charges are written on a kind of board or table, and every guest who can read Japanese knows what he should pay.The hotel and inn-keepers have, however, formed a kind of guild, ana have laid down a rule that every foreigner is to be charged double the amount \\demanded from a Japanese.Guilds and societies are probably snore numerous and powerful in Japan than in any other country, but it has not yet been understood that these were encouraged officially, However, such is now proved to be the case, for the charges to foreigners arranged by the hotel and innkeepers\u2019 guild are endorsed and enforeed by the police authorities, although the revised treaties distinctly stipulate that foreigners shall receive the same rights and privileges as Jupanese, But this is entirely consistent with Japanese morality.and is merely a repetition of what foreigners have experienced during all their connection with these people, for it is a custom of the Japanese to say and promise anything so long as it suits their purpose, as also it is their custom not to carry out their [fro- mises if it Yoes not suit them.Again, britery and corruption are not unknown to the Japanese, but it is not until lately tnat it has Deen nown that they were not only sanctioned but actually encouraged by wellreducated and enlightened po- liticiana, Nevertheless, Mr.Ohei Kentara, one of the Jeading members of the Liberal party, and a man who has represented his Government in several European countries, in a speech delivered somelit- tie time ago, with the object of excusing, or rather explaining, tte conduct of the members of the Diet in accepting bribes from the Government, as well as from private con- panies, said that it was the duty of every member of the Diet to accept all he could get for his vote and interest in anything presented in Parllament, and that such things were general in England in the reigns of George II.and George III, and that Japan was now more advanced than England was a century, or more ago.This is probably one of the most astonishing admissions made public- iy by any prominent Japanese, and it has not failed to elicit considerable comment from the foreign press here, However, I have not seen a single reference to it in any cf the native newspapers.In many Europsan countries bribery is ronsidered to be a penal offence, and in the most advanced countries it is provided againat by the most rigorous Jaws ; but in this enlightened land of the Far East, whioh by many ja considered to be the coming race, and to which in the course of a very wesks all the advantages aud priviieges of the highest civilization are to be extended, it is considered a virtue ey is extolled b) one of the most vroini- nent subjects of the Empire.Under such circwostances it may be well understood that the great majority of foreigners now residing in this eountry do not look forward with any considerable amount of pleasure to the change in their rule and control which is soon to tuke place by handing over ue jurisdiction of thelr homes and property to Japanese control.And well may they not, when such things as are here related are prominent characteristics of the people to whom they will be subject.It is all very: vel to have assurances and pledges, but with the Japanese tLose count fo) very little in the eyes of those who know them best.It is not, therefore, surprising that foreigners who have considerable interests in Japan should look with suspicion un the changes which are about to take place, and although some are hopeful that they will he treated in a fair and (jbeval spatit, the pew state of things cannot possibly be an advantafBous step so far as foreigners are concerned, whereas it is very doubtful if it will be anything, but 5 hindrance to the Jupan- ese.N, H.B, SIGNATURE ou of every

General Election Next Winter.IS IT NOW A REAL POLITICAL NECESSITY.Special to The Chronicle.Ottawa, July 28.\u2014 All the politicians here believe that we are on the eve of a general election.It 1s scarcely three years since the Govefnment took office, yet everything points to a tpeedy; dissolution.The Liberals, who took office in 1898, a united enthusiastic party.are to-day rapidly breaking up into warring factions.and there is po man in sight strong enough to stop the process of disintegration.A large section of the Governments following is mutely diseatisfied with what is being done, and a considerable wing is weribusly alarmed for the probable effect of the utter disregard of Liberal pledges on the great bulk of the electorate.In this emergency the Government can see that the best thing for it is a speedy dissolution so that.before the disease becomes chronic, a new lease of life may be obtained.PREPARATIONS GOING ON.There is no doubt that preparations have been quietly going on here for some time looking to the possibility of a general election.In the first place, the voters\u2019 lists for the whole Dominion are being printed at the Printing Bureau.The lists for Ontario and Quebec are understood to be printed and ready for revision.These iists are based on the assessment rolls of 1898, and will be useless uniess used this year.as the rolls for 1899 will be prepared in the rourse ol the next three or four months.Then, there are three vacancies in the Ilouse, and two more seats nre liable to be vacant at almost any moment, on account of the ill-health of the gentlemen holding them, and there are half a dozen or more meurt bers with overdue promissory notes for positions in their pockets.who are clamoring for the redetnption of the notes.This would mean more bye-elections, and, after the revelations in West Elgin and West Huron end the still worse revelations expected in Brockville, the Government is mot favorably disposed towards bye-elections.Then there is the question of Mr.Tarte's stomach.on.which a goôit den} depends just, now.Before he left Ottawa Mr.Tarte told your correspondent that if the doe- tors in Paris pronounced his condition dangerous he would not\u2019 continue Minister of Punlic Works.\"1 am not a fool.\u201d he said; \u2018I will not work myself to death.\u2019 Mr.Tarte has successfully undergone an operation which calls for a couple of months\u2019 rest.After that he will return for the fray.Without him Sir Wilfrid Tautier would hesitate about forcing an election, but with Mr.Tarte recovered in health.it will be a different story.Thobe who argue there will be an election base their views on the unprecedented growth of trade in the last two years, and urge that the phenomenal increase will cause an even more phenomenal setback, and that the Government are going to take advantage of being with the tide before it recedes or commences to.FEE XP 4 He bh THE POPE'S HEALTH 1S GOOD.Extreme Heat Stops His

28\u2014George W.Rafter, the engineer who has charge of the survey for the proposed ship canal from the great lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, has completed his preliminary work.\u2018The project is to cut a canal thirty feet ceep and 340 feet wide, from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, around Niagara Falls; then leaving Lake Ontario at Oswego, the canal will take the course of of the Oswego River to Oneida Lake, and hence through the Mohawk to the Hudson River.The locks, \u2018it is planned, will he 1,000 feet long with walls 50 feet high.The greatest problem connected with this project is to find storage for water to feed the great canal, and yet not injure the water supply of manufacturing concerns.Mr Rafter proposes a great dam at Carthage.on the Black River, in Jefferson County.making a lake covering eighty square miles, which will feed the canal.From this reservoir is to be run a canal ninety miles long to the proposed ship canal jus: west of Rome.A secondary reser- oir on the Salmon River is propos- The commission's work also in cludes à similar survey for a canal of the same character from the Mt.Lawrence River, at the head of the Ccteau Rapids, to Lake Champlain.Pure,

28\u2014Ad- vices received from San Salvador say that Freemasonry has been placed under the ban in that Republic.Congress met in June and passed a formal law prohibiting .the meeting of lodges of the Order in the Republic.The cause of the action is said to be the bitter hatred of Minister of Foreign Aflairs Arango for United States Consul-General Jenkins, who is a Mason.Jenkins opposed the appointment of Arango as Minister on the ground that he was antagonistic to Americans.- GEN, BOOTH ATTACKED AT STOCKHOLM.Struck in the Face but was Quite Cool.The announcement that General Booth was attacked on July 12th at Stockholm is confrmed by the: ex changes which have arrived from that city.The Aftonbladt of Stockholm gives the following particulars of the attack = \u2018\u2019As Gen.Booth was driving from the city out to the camp, just before 7 o'clock Sunday evening, he suffered a shameful assault in the neighborhood of Fogelvik.The carriage was obliged to slacken speed on account of the dense crowd.and a poorly dressed man seized the opportunity to jump upon the step and strike the General in the face, the force of ehe blow sending Gen.Booth's silk hat rolling on tbe ground.An officer who followed .the carriage on a bicycle seized the General's assailant, but after a hard struggle the fellow broke away and disappeared in the crowd.\u201c\u2018Gen.Booth.asx well as could be judged by one at a distance, says the Sodertelje Tidn, took the assault very calmly.\u201d HOT TIME IN THE NEW TOWN.\u2018Does Eagle Eye contemplate getting up any celebration in honor of Dewey's

say this much in explanation, however :\u2014 \u2018\u2019Practically the whole dispute now is circumscribed to the question of the establishment of the .boundary line in the region of the Lynn Canal.The public is aware that the tana- dian contention is that the line crossés the Lyun Canal near its on- trance, whereas the American contention is that the line goes around the Lynn Canal, leaving the entire canal in American territory.\u201cff the contention were reduced to the exact location of the line, I think the solution might prove to be of comparative ease.But the Americans have establishments at sSkaguay and Dyes.In our view the Ameri cans at that point are on British territory, but we have to recognize the factothat they are there all ihe same.\u2018At one time we thought we could have made the compromise and arranged the boundary by conventional agreement and mutual concessions.[| am betraying no secret when I Fay that the commission could not agree on such a compromise.\u2018Therefore, as we camnot a among ourselves, we must ask the assistante of friendly arbitrators.The points to be submittdd to the arbitrators might he the following : \u2018First, which is the right interpretation of the treaty in rezard to the locatign of the boundary/line on \u2018he Lynn Canal ?Is it the Canadian or the American contention ?\u2018Second, in the event of the arbitrators declaring that the Canadian contention is.the right one, then the aubsidiary consideration would have to be decided, What disposition shall »e made of Dyea and Skaguay, which are Ameriean settlements ?\u201cWe think that the Venezuelan treaty offers a precedent for the solution of that question.I am aware that the American authorities contend, that there in n difference be tween the Venezuelan precedent and the case now to be disposed of in thie;.that.as they allege, d'anada wever protested against tue Auserican occupation of Skaguay and lyea.\u201cWe do not admit this contention in point of fact.But even il it were founded on fact, the arbitrators would have to consider what equities might arise therefrom and decide accordingly.Though I have strong views on this hoint myseil, for obvious reasons I refrain fron expressing them.\u201d : \u2018In case this matter cannot be sub- mitied to arbitration, is Canada in favor of settling it by war?Rip \u2018Willrid was asked.\u2018Nobody wants war,\u2019 ke replied quickly.\u201cI distinctly said, when 1 called attention to the fact that the negotiations had failed and thut the question could only be settled by

the birth of a son.In 1897 came Tatiana, also a girl, and since that time His Majesty has prayed incessantly for an heir.The recent birth of a third daughter, followed by the,death of his brother, the Czarowitz, is said to have plunged him in melancholy, and his pby- sicians fear that unless the pressure on the brain which they have diagnosed is relieved his reason may he permanently impaired.Children Cry for CASTORIA.LIZARDS.Lizards are little studied and little known.In Shakespeare's day they were branded as venomous, and in England to-day country people hold them in awe.The forked tongue and serpentine movement add to the fear in which they are held.The scaly and the sand lizard are most common, and both seem to need the presence of water, yet they like dry quarters, and a cold, wet day will see every one of them vanish.It is the tongue of the lizard which does most execution and secures the prey of which it is in quest, more especially flies and spiders, which fall a ready victim to its sudden dart ; caterpillers are not above he lizard's attention, and small earthworms are a favorite food, the great power of the lizard enabling it to force its way almost under any stones and roots in search of food.In captivity the lizard does well on meat diet, but seems to require a change of fnods small particles of raw beel every few days appear to contain nourishment of the right kind when insect food is missing.Irritated by hbndling, Lacerta agiles turns sharply on his assailant, and though toothless, clings tightly to the hand, and may be even carried about in tis fashion.The skinning of a lizard is an event well worth watching, beginning at the ears and progressing gradually tailward, taking about a week or ten days in the process.The skin is shed in sections of perhaps half an inch in length, and going right around the body in the case of the sand lizard, measures quite two inches in breadth.\u2018The markings are most heautiful, and the skin of the claw is distinctly shed, splitting longitudinally between: each claw and coming off much like a small glove.The sand lizard seems in no Way *ncouvenienc- ed in the process and scratubles about with hali-shed skin as agilely as he fore; nor does his grip of claw or mouth appear to suffer at all by the trunsactions.The heautiful tints of his sikie, emerald green in sunshine, seem even more vivid than before his sloughing (rom the old skin, though naturally he is not comparable with the heautiful emerald-green Jersey lizard.CAR FARE GRATIN, It is marvellous to mse the cheap rates that

France's Minimum Tariff in Part.GIVES 20 PER CENT.REDUCTION Americans Claim to Have the Better of the Intarnationnl Bargain, Washington, July 28.\u2014The reciprocity treaty between France anil the United States, which was announced a few days ago, is considered here to be the most important trade convention the Republic has yet made.The concession made by France embraces most of the articles in what is known as the Frenshaninimum tarif.heads, the rates being on an average about 20 per cent.below those in the general tariff of France.It was found necessary, however, owing to the protests from French agrarian interests, to except from this minimum list about twenty-four articles, chiefly agricultural products.\u2018The French ministry was obliged to pay heed to this sentiment, and in turn M.Cambon made the exception a condition of closing the treaty.It was on this point that the negotiations were in doubt for scveral days, and it was only by compromising on the extent of the exceptions that an agreement was made posaible.As first presented exceptions numbered twelve, but some of these classes inciuding a number of distinct items, so that in all there was a large number of exceptions.As finally determined upon, Lhese excep tions were narrowed down to twen- ty-four, and outside of them the United States gets the bepefit of all the reductions on the French minimum list.Besides the reductions given to the United States the treaty is important in continuing a number of minimum rates which would have heen abolished if the treaty had not been concluded.The most important of these articles are petroleum and mineral oils.At present these oils enter France an the minimum rate, but had this treaty failed a rate woul have been imposed making a difference of duty amounting to about $5.- 000,000.The same Is true as to cotton, which is one of the chief articles of shipment from the United States to France, and enters duty free.The same 18 true of copper, ery.France secures important concessions ob over 100 of the chief products sent by France to the United States.The Dingley law allows not to exceed 20 per cent.reduction ase basis of reciprocity, but tha full 20 per cent.is not allowed on ali the ar- ticlescovered bt tye treaty.On some ofthem the reduction is 5 per cent.on others 10, others 15 and up ty 20 per ¢ent.The list\u201cwould \u2018have \u2018been larger and the percentage of reduc tion greater in some cases had it not heen for the reluctance of Commissioner Kasson to permit exceptions from the French ininimum lise.This was the main cause leading to the omission of champagne from the list of important French products included in the treaty.While quite desirous of securing a reduction of duty on this class of wines, the French authorities were not ready io grant the large number of reductions asked as an offset for the proposed reduction on this particular article.As a result the regular rates will be maintained on sparkling wines coming to this country.AMERICA CAN COMPETE WITH ENGLAND, The treaty will result in placing the products of the United States on the basis in France as products of treat these countries have the minimum French rate, while American goods with few exceptions have to pay the maximum rate.The negotiations now ended were begun nearly two years ago hy M.Patenotre, then ambassador from
