When the news waa (lushed into town last Friday that A. J. MoGilliyray and A. Kricksonhad won the big rock* drilling contest al tho Spokane Interstate Fair many there wore who could scarcely believe it, It appeared too good lo bo tin*., and yet on culm reflection tho goid firm showed hy tho team was gufiiciont to warrant championship aspirations, loi !md not the two men at tlieir first appearance in public together put tip a wonderful performance in so signally defeating the Faulds brothers' record hole in Sandon, and this without any previous' practise together. Since then both man have run in double harness and their work at private practise was Btifli that tho Review scribe has publicly tipped them for every event they h ive entered. " We will go even further antl say that if McDonnell and Isenor, of Silverton, bed boon in lho competition they would havo assuredly got second money and probably troubled the winners. We in tlie Si mm have not realised tlie last crack* our men are, fir although we have patronized them as good " locals," nine dreamed of their being in the fame category as McNichoU and Rosa or tho Dunne team, the latter never tasting the p.mgs otdufeat until this oe- c.i-d.iii. In future years tha Slocan will be bolter represented at Spokane, for now hor men have the "bead" on tlie Crack teams from all cirners of the COn- lin-'iit. After the decisive victory at Spokane Ihoro wero many ehallengos dying around, but none ware burled at Mac and hi. Swedish partner. Mae. lingered in Spokane several days on tlie off chance of a stray challenge, ami we understand that it ia highly probable that either Butte, Sumpter, or Coe ir d'Alenes team will challenge again for lho championship, in which evcnl Ma,*., has insisted that the match shall take place cither at Sandon, Silver- ton or K.islo. Tho rock which was the centre o! (he big con list last week was a granite block secured from a quarry on tho little Spokane liver, squared two foot on tho top and varied from 51 to 55 inches in depth. This vols proved much too soft and shallow f ir many o! tlie teams, ns nearly all bnko through and had to start a second ho'.o. We have several pebbles lying around Sandon whicli the Spokane people 0 in'gaiublo on cannot bo bored through, and (or futuic contests tbe directorate should boar this in mind. On tho first night of tho big event both the Goldfleld's team and thc Galium tin m created an iinmenso sensation bv diiliing sheer through Ihe rock, the form r sinking their steel G15ii and the latter 5170, and much iiion**}' was wagered that the latter would win tbo b'g iniz,o. On the second night tho three tc tins were MoNloholls and Page, Butte,M nitima; Cola and Dunne, Sampler, Ore.; and McGillivray and Eriok- ion, n, B.C. In tlie draw tho Bandon I' un were the first out of the hat, Hid when they pooled there wero fully th.i e tin* isaud people crowded into ,th6 big tent, whicli was arriinged circus fashion.

Their gait was changed from a 58 to a tu and tbere was more ginger in everY blow. At this the vast audience sat spellbound for a couple of minutes, and when they saw tlie men staying with it and smiling confidently tbe wildest en- tnusiasm broke loose. "Sit down, sit down," roared thc patrol men, as the immense concourse rose to its feet, and n thousand words of praise were hurled at the boys who were putting up an exhibition the like of which was never seen. " By Coil," said Yoekey, tlie Goldficld miner, "I never would havu thought it. They're wonders. Oh! but they can't keep up that gait." But the Slocan boys were staying with it and pouring tremendous li'ows with clock-like precision while every change ot steel made brought forth roars of approval.

Tim Kns'oFair has been a succe.s and Kaslo dei-ervea all praise for ita enterprise. But a Kaslo district exhibit at the Nelson Fair would bo worth infinitely more as an advertisement. Tlie fniit growing capabilities of Kai-lo have been indeed advertised, but to whom ? Onlv to the pcoplo of Nelson and Sandon who were well aware of it before��� Nelson Daily Canadian. In tho main our contemporary is correct, but tho writer surveys tlie ground broadly and sees things through Nelson gla-BCs focussed to suit the occasion for them, Nelson has just had a taste of something which was uot to its liking, and it is becoming a weo bit scared lest Kaslo should grow too great a centre of importance in the fruit-growing business and detract from its own, and this hns inspired severaljbon-iiiola of the abovo transparency within tlie upper storey of our culom's editor of late. Granted that a Kaslo exhibit at lhe Nelson Fair would have been wo.tl, something as an advertisement (to Nelson), there i. yet to he Uken into consideration tho fact that it is ever up to Kaslo to work out its own salvation and push its acquisitions, natural re- sources and fruit-growing possibilities beiore the world first-handed. A central Fair to have a far-reaching effect, and albeit lhe desfderatuin to he striven for, should bo conducted upon lines which insure a fair shake for all outside competing districts'. Tliis the people of Kaslo do not a hint was the case at tho Nelson Fair of '00, and th. ir grievance was endoricd by other sections, so it is not to^he wondered at that Kaslo district should fail to lake a more than passing interi st in the Nelson Fair this year. And Kaslo did not exhibit! Ah, there's tho rub 1 Wo agice witli the Canadian that Ihe people of Nelson and Pandon are perfectly well aware of tlie capabilities of Kaslo, but it does not necissarily follow that its wider advertising po*sibilitiea aro taken from because it did not show al Nt lson, whhh we tako it is tho hint [conveyed in lho extract above. On the contrary, tho fact of and the cause for thoir not exhibiting this year has in i self been a Btibstant-al advertisement whicli has helped out wonderfully. A district to stand on its dignity and take the stand Kaalo did must havo tlie goods behind it, and those who aro liktly to associate Ihemse'vos with any district in the fruit business are shrewd enough to read between the lines, As lo publicity, there happen to ba two local newspapers in this district whoso editors can be depended upon to say lho good wortl in sheets with far greater circulations than enjoyed by our cotem,, but Ihat is en passant. We take it that all these fall faTrs are gotten up for tho particular laudation and glorification of the c'ty in whicli the fairs aro held aud when a smaller competitor from an outside point enters tho arena nnd skins them 1 adly, it is not altogether palatable; hot when the district outsido tlieir own small world kicks off ita swaddling clothes ai ' inaugurates a two davs' fair on its own, it is positively Indigestible and a toar is emitted. To wit: The Canadian of an earlier issue doc'nred that there is room only for one fall fair on Koutenay lake, that Nelson was (list ill the Held, Unit it, had all the say, etc., wvs the whole cheese, elc, etc., that all tho others should go waybnek, etc., etc., etc. " Getting chesty, ain't wc ? " Kaslo lias charms, possibilities, facilities and men energetic enough lo compete more than favorably with Nelson, and onrconlemporaiy may ret_t assured there ia something more needed for tho upbuilding of a city than " hotel accommodation," which is another point it would score on.

It shall be my duty nnd Joy to explain your motives and your actions. Have no fear. The hour will be short and the fruit much the sweeter for the bitterness." "Thunder!" muttered Harry Anguish. "You don't Intend to slap him into a cell, do you, Gren?" Baldos overheard the remark. "I prefer that course, sir, until It has been clearly established that all I have said to you is the truth. Count Marlanx must be satisfied," snld he. "And, Baldos, is nil well witb her?" asked the one we have known as Ravone. "Sbe ls being put to bed," said Baldos, with a laugh so jolly that Ravone'g lean face was wreathed In a sympathetic smile. "I am rendy, gentlemen." He marched gallantly away between the guards, followed by Dangloss and Colonel Quinnox. Naturally the Graustark leaders were cautious, even skeptical. They awaited confirmation of the glorious news with vnrylng emotions. The shock produced by tlie appearance of Prince Dantar. lu the person of the ascetic Ravone was almost stupefying. Even Beverly, who know the vacabonri Setter than all the others, had not dreamed of Rovone as the fugitive prince. Secretly die had hoped ns long as sbe could that Baldos would prove, after all, to be no other than Dantan. Thla hope had dwindled to nothing, however, and she was quite prepared for the revelation. She now saw that he was Just what he professed to be���a brave but humble friend of the young sovereign, nnd she wns happy ln the knowledge that she loved him for what he was and not for what be might have been. "He is my best friend," said Ravone, as they led Baldos away. "I am called Ravone, gentlemen, and I am content to be known by that name until better fortune gives me tlie right to use nn- otber. You can hardly expect a thing in rags to be called a prince. There ls much to be accomplished, much to be forgiven, before tbere ls a Prince Dantan of Dawsbergen again." "You are faint and weak," said Lorry, suddenly perceiving his plight "The hospitality of the castle ls yours. The promise we made n few days ago holds good. Her highness will be proud to receive you when you are ready to come to the throne room. I am Grenfall Lorry. Come, sir; rest and refresh yourself In our gladdened home. An hour ago we were making ready to rush Into battle, but your astonishing but welcome news ls calculated to change every plan we have made." "Undoubtedly, sir, It will. Dawsbergen hardly will make a fight to release Gabriel. He ls safe In your dungeons. If they want him now they must come to your strongholds. They will not do It, believe nie," said Ravone simply. "Alas, I am faint and sore, as you suspect. May I lie down for an hour or two? In that time you will hove heard from your wardens, and my story will be substantiated. Then I shall be rendy to accept your hospitality as it is proffered. Outside your city gates my bumble followers lie starving. My only prayer Is that you will send them cheer and succor." No time was lost ln sending to the ���rates for the Btrollers who had accomplished the marvel of the day. The news of Gabriel's capture was kept from the city's Inhabitants until verification came from the proper sources, but those ln control of the affairs of ���state were certain that Ravone's story was true. All operations came to a Htandst.111. The movements of the army were checked. Everything lay quiescent under the shock of this startling climax. "Hang It," growled Anguish, with a quizzical grin as Ravone departed under the guidance of Count Halfont himself, "this knocks me galley west. I'd like to have had a hand ln It It must have been great. How the devil do yon think that miserable little gang of tramps pulled It off?" "Harry," said Lorry disgustedly, "they taught us a trick or two." While the young princess was being cared for by Yetive's own maids ln one of the daintiest bedchambers of the castle Beverly was engaged ln writing a brief but pointed letter to her Aunt Josephine, who was still In St. Petersburg. She had persistently refused to *Ult.��__iiW"_j____. but bad.KrUiejAuiaay Impc'rntive letters commanding her niece to return to the Russian capital. Beverly now was recalling her scattered wits in the effort to appease her aunt and her father at tbe same time. Major Calhoun emphatically had ordered her to rejoin her aunt and start for America at once. Yesterday Beverly would have begun packing for the trip homo. Now she wns eager to remain In Graustnrk indefinitely. She was so thrilled hy joy and excitement that sho scarcely could hold the pen. "Father says tlie United States papers nre full of awful war scares from the Balkans. Arc we a part of the Balkans, Yetive?" sho asked. "He snys I'm to eomo right off home. Says he'll not pay a nickel of ransom If the brigands catch me, as they did Miss Stone and that woman who had the baby. He says mother is worried half to death. I'm just going to cable him that It's all oft, because he says If war breaks out he's going to send my brother Dan over hero to get mc. I'm having Aunt Josephine send him this cablegram from St. Petersburg: 'They never fight in Balkans. Just scare each other. Skip headlines, father dear. Will be home soon. Beverly.' How does that sound? It will cost a lot, but he brought It upon his own head. And we're not in the Balkans, anyway. Aunt Joe will have n fit. Please call an A. D. T. hoy, princess. I want to send this message to St. Petersburg." When Candace entered the princess* boudoir half an hour later she was far from being the timid youth who first came to the notice of the Graustnrk cabinet She was now attired In one of Beverly's gowns, and it was most becoming to her. Her short, curly brown hnlr was done up properly; her pink and white complexion was as clear as cream, now that the dust of the road was gone; her dark eyes were glowing wltb the wonder and interest of nineteen years, and she wus, all in all, a most enticing hit of femininity. "You are much more of n princess now thau when I first saw you," smiled Yetive, drawing her down upon the cushions of the window seat beside her. "But she wns such a pretty boy," protested Dagmar. "You dou't know how attractive you were in those"��� Candace blushed. "Oh, they were awful, hut they were comfortable. Oue has to wear trousers If one intends to bo a vagabond. 1 wore them for more than a week." "You shall tell us nil about It." said Yetive, holding thc girl's ban:1. Ill hers. "It must have been a most interesting week for you." i "Oh, there ls not much to tell, your highness," said Candace, suddenly reticent and shy. "My stepbrother ���oh, how I hate hlm!-- hud condemned me to 1 uie* because he thought I was helping Dantan. And I was helping him, too, all that I could. Old Bappo, master of the stables, who has loved me for a hundred years, he says, helped me to escape from the palace at night. They were to have seized me the next morn- 1 lug. Bappo has been master of the stables for more than forty years. Dear old Bappo 1 He procured tho boy's clothing for me, and his two sou3 accompanied me to the bills, where I soon found my brother and his men. We saw your scouts and talked to them a day or two after I became a member of thc band. Buppo's boys are with the band now. But my brother Dantan shnll toll you of that. I was so frightened I could not tell what was going on. I have lived In the open air for a week, hut I love It. Dautan's friends nre all heroes. You will love tbem. Yesterday old Franz brought n message luto the castle grounds. It told Captain Baldos of the plan to seize Gabriel, who was ln the hills near your city. Didn't you know of that? Oh, we knew It two days ago! Baldos knew It yesterday. He met Us nt 4 o'clock this morning-tluit ts, part of us. I was sent on with Frauz so that I should not see bloodshed if it came to tlie worst. We wore near tho city gates, nnd Buldos came straight to us. Isn't it funny that you never knew all these things? Then at daybreak Baldos insisted on bringing me here to await the news from tho pass. It wus safer, nnd, besides, he said he had another object ln coming back at once." B.verly flushed warmly. Tho three women were crowding about the narrator, eagerly drinking ln her naive story. "We cnme in through one of the big gates aud not through the underground passage. That was a fib," snid Candace, looking from one to the other wltb a perfectly delicious twinkle In her eye. The conspirators gulped and smiled guiltily. "Baldos says there Is a very mean old man hero who is tormenting tlie fairy princess���not the real princess, you know. He camo back to protect her, which wus very brave of him, I nm sure. Where is my brother?" she nsked, suddenly anxious. "He Is with friends. Don't be alarmed, dear," said Yetive. "Ho is changing clothes, too? He needs clothes worse than I needed these. Does he sny positively thnt Gabriel has been enptured?" "Yes. Did you not know of it?" "I was sure it would happen. You know I was not with them in tho pass." Yetive was reflecting, n soft smile ln her eyes. "I was thinking of tho time when I wore men's clothes," she said. "Unlike yours, mine were most uncomfortuble. It wus when I nlded Mr. Lorry in escaping from the Tower. I wore a guard's uniform nnd rode miles with hlm in a dark enrriage before he discovered the truth." She blushed nt the remembrance of that trying hour. "And I wore boy's clothes at a girl's party once���my brother Dan's," said Beverly. "The hostess' brothers came home unexpectedly, and I bad to sit behind a bookcase for an hour. I didn't see. much_fpn ljuboy's cjothee." - - ���- Ton o*a*_Hf fb'' wear them for a week," said Candace, wise ln experience. "They are not so bad when you become accustomed to them���that is, If they're strong and not so tight that they"��� "You all love Baldos, don't you?" Interrupted Yetive. It was with difficulty that the listeners suppressed their smiles. "Better than any one else. He is our idol. Oh, your highness, if what he says ls true that old man must be a fiend. Baldos a spy! Why, he has not slept dny or night for fear that we would not capture Gabriel so tha. he might be cleared of the charge without appealing to���to my brother. He has always been loyal to you," the glrf- suid wltb eager eloquence. "I know, dear, nnd I have known ah a'-ong. He will be honorably acquitted. Ctiunt Marlanx was overzealous. He has not been wholly wrong, I must sny fa justice to him"��� "How can you uphold him, Y.tlv**. r.fter whnt he has said about me." cried Beverly witb blazing eyes. "Beverly, Beverly, you know I doa't mean that He has been a cowardly villain so far as you nre concerned, and he shall be punished, never fear. I cannot condone thut one ninazing piece of wickedness on his pnrt." "You, then, nre the girl Baldos talks so much about?" cried Candace eagerly. "You are Miss Calhoun, the fairy princess? I am so glad to know you." Tho young princess clasped Beverly's hand nnd looked into her eyes with admiration and approval. Beverly could*, have crushed her In her arms. The sounds of shouting came up to the windows from below. Outside, men were rushing to and fro, nnd there were signs of mighty demonstrations at the gates. "The people have heard of the capture," said Candace, as calmly as though^ she were asking one to have a cup of tea. There was a pounding at the boudoir ���floor. It flew open unceremoniously and In rushed Lorry, followed by Anguish. In tho hallway beyond a group of noblemen conversed excitedly with the women of the castle. "The report from the dungeons, Yetive," cried Lorry Joyously. "The warden says tbat Gabriel is ln his cell again! Here's to Prince Dantan!" Ravone was standing in the door. Candace rnn over and leaped Into his arms. (To Bo Continued) INTERRUPTED.

During a Polar winter the average thickness of ice on tbe ocean when no storms or strong* -titles interfere reaches six feet or more. Nansen found a thickness of over eight feet. There is really no warm season. Even during tbe long summer days snow still falls frequently. Clean spells are- relatively warm, but, especially in the Antarctic, fogs and cloud are frequent, while winds bring low temperatures. Nevertheless, the summer near the margins of the Arctic zone is described in the "Journal of Geography" as having clean, pure, crisp air, free from dust and with little precipitation. The monotony and darkness of the Polnr nicht nre decreased a good deal by the long twilicht, due to the high degree of refraction nt low temperatures. The buii actually appears and disappears some days before and after the times* which nre geometrically set for the change. Light from moon nnd stars, and from the aurora, also relievos the darkness. Optical phenomena of groat, variety, beuuty, and oomplexity are common. Solar and lunar hnloes, antl coronne. and mock suns and moons are often seen. Auroras seem to be less common nnd less brilliant in the Antarctic than in the Arctic. Suri��"t nnd sunrise colors within the Polnr zones are described ns being extraordinarily brilliant and impressive. Thus the North Polar summer, in spite of it? drawbacks, is in some respects n pleasant arid henlthful season. But the Polar night is monotonous depressing, repelling. An everlasting ly uniform snow covering, rigidity lifelcspness, silence ��� except for the howl of the gale or the cracking nt tbe ice. Small wonder thnt the Polar night hns sometimes unbalanced men's minds. Tbe first effects are often n strong desire for sleep, and in difference. Later effect* have been sleeplessness and nervousness, tending in extreme enses to insanity, anaemia, digestive troubles. Extraordinary low winter temperatures are easily borne if the air is dry nnd still. Nansen notes "not very cold" at a temperature of���22 degrees, when the air was still. Another Arctic explorer, nt 9 degrees, says "it is too warm to skate." Zero weather seems pleasantly refreshing if clear and calm. But high relative humidity nnd wind���even a light breeze- give tlie same degree of cold a penetrating feeling of chill which may be unbearable. Thus the damper air ol spring and summer usually seems much colder than tlie drier air of winter, although the temperatures may be the same. When exposed directly to tlie nir the skin bums and blisters; the lips swell nnd crack. Thirst has been much complained of by Polar explorers, and is surely due to the active evaporation from the warm body into the dry, relatively cold air. There is no doubt that Polar air is singularly free from micro-orgnnisnif ���a fact "which is due chiefly to lack of communication with other parts of the world. Hence diseases which are common in temperate zones, "colds" among them, are rare. INFLUX CF JAPANESE. Coming From the East to Canada In Very Large Numbers. Tbe Government is in a quandary regarding tlie reported coming influx of Japanese in large numbers to Canada. There is nothing on the statute books to prevent them coming, and it is highly probable that action will be taken immediately to outlaw the steps taken by the British Columbia authorities to reduce Japanese immigration. In tlie first place it is impossible to avoid the terms of the British-Japanese treaty, and in the second place many of the Japs proceeding from Honolulu are already United State*- eitizens. Further, the Grand Trunk Pacific officials declare positively that unless they got Japanese laborers at once, they will be unable to finish the rail way within the period of the contract. Tliey are contending with a great scarcity of labor now, and tliey are purposing to supply the deficiency with Japs. A curious fact is that the statistics of tlie Trade and Commerce Department do not show any great immigra tion of Jupanese, only about 80 a month entering the country. ThiB is exclusive of Honolulu Japs, of whom there is no record. The summer monSis are a time of anxiety for mothers because tbey are the most dangerous months in tho year for babies and young children. Stomach and bowel troubles conic quickly during tlie hot weather, and almost before the mother realizes that there is danger tlie little one may be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets will prevent summer complaints if given occasionally because they keep the stomach and bowels free from offending matter. And thn Tablets will cure tiiese troubles if they come suddenly. The wise mother should keep these Tablets always at hand nnd give them occasionally to her children. The Tablets can be given with equal success to tlie newborn babe or the woll-grown child.

DODDS v fKIDNEY^ %h PILLS ^ G.T.P. Construction. Grand Trunk Pacific trains nre now running out of Fort William, and the Lake Superior branch is now in running oriler for a little over five miles. Track-laying lias been under way for several weeks, and construction trains are now busy hustling stuff to the front. Now that a start has been made track-laying will he proceeded with rapidly, and before the end of the summer the line should be at least one hundred miles in length. 1'rnck-laying will be started from sev- .nil different places, nnd n lnrge foree will be engaged in this work all summer.

L John Macdonnell of Glengarry. Gen Brock's gallant aide-de-camp, at tin site of the old redan battery on the fnce of Queenston Heights, was an event which made the visit f* the 41st Regiment, Brockville Rifles, to Niagara Falls, Out., ever remembered. The regiment arrived on a recent Saturday morning and marched to Queenston Park for breakfast. They afterwards took cars on the Interna tional Railway for Queenston Heights Park. There, on the site of the old battery which played such an important part in tlie famous battle, the I.undy's I.ane Historical Society had erected a memorial to the brave Macdonnell, but it had never been unveiled This ceremonial was conducted by Mrs. Cruikshank. wife of Lieut. Col. ami Brigadier Cruikshank, in tlie presence of the visiting regiment, representatives of the Luudy's Lane Historical Society, officers of other military camps nnd mnny spectators. When tlie veil was drawn aside Mrs. Fisehed, wife of the Lieut.-Col. commanding tlie 41st Regiment, marched forward and on behalf of the Brockville Chapter, Daughters of the Empire, placed a wreath of ivy and im- mortolls upon it The silver hand of the 41st Regiment played the British nnd Canadian national anthems, and Lieut.-Col. Cruikshank on behalf of the Luntly's Lane Historical Society presented the tablet to the public. The inscription on tlie memorial reads as follows: "Site of Redan Bnttery. Near this spot. Lieut.-Col. John Macdonnell, Attorney-General of Upper Canada, was mortally wounded 12t.li of October, 1812." Thc wreath which was laid upon the memorial wns subsequently removed to Macdonnell's Brockville monument, where it will be preserved. They Listened to the Story. After these ceremonies the visiting troops assembled in front of tlie Brock monument and listened to a talk on the battle of Queenston Heights by Lieut.-Col. Cruikshank, who undoubtedly knows, more of the history of the war on the frontier than any other living man. In tlie afternoon the officers of the 41st visited the battlefield of Luudy's Lane, where Lieut.-Col. Cruikshank delivered another of his accurate and entertaining historical military features. Iu connection with this visit it was recalled that it was the light company of tlie 41st Regiment of the line, commanded by Capt. Clew, which letl tlie final charge up the hill of blood nnd (ire and wrested victory from defeat on tlie night of July 25, 1814. The battlefield of Chippewa nnd many other points of historical interest were also visited by the Brockville soldiers.

That the revenue of the Dominion is going up at tlie rate of about n million dollars a month is shown by the latest return of the Finance Department. The new fiscal year is still troublesome. The old year ended with June 30, but this was changed to March 31 so that the year which closed on that date of li)07 is n nine months year. For the fiscal year ending March 31 last the total revenue was $67,969,326. compiled as follows: Customs .39,760,172 Excise 11,805,413 Postoffice 6.061,723 Public workB, including rnil- ways 8,839.68.1 Miscellaneous 4,502,429 Thc revenue during April, May ami June has been $23,233,298 and for purposes of comparison, by adding this to the short fiscal year, the revenue for the vear ending June 30 would be $91,- 202.606. For the year ending June 30, 1906, tbe revenue was about $80,000,000, so that during the past twelve months there has been an increase of ovar eleven million dollars. The expenditure for the nine months is $65,776,786, of which $51,542,161 U on current revenue and $14,234,625 on capital account, leaving a total surplus of $2,192,540. Adding a total expenditure of $10,102,016 for April, May a.id June, there would be a consolidated fund expenditure of $59,138,- 485 and capital account of $16,740,416, or n total disbursement for the twelve months of $75,878,901. This leaves a surplus of over $15,000,000. Of the $23,000,000 receipts for the past three months, nearly $15,000,000 is credited to customs, while during tho twelve months customs contributed nlmost $55,000,000.

A strange incident happened in the Severn tunnel recently. Just as an express train entered the tunnel a ���tolilier in a third class carriage flung open the door and attempted to jump out. Fortunately one of the passengers succeeded in seizing the man's coat tailc and with the aid of other passengers held him there head downwards. They could not pull him back, for the suction was too great. The communication cord was pulled, the train stopped, and the rescued man��� who, it appears, had suddenly become insane���was placed under arrest. This is not the first exciting incident which has happened in the great boring which carries the Great Western railway beneath the bed of the Severn. Some five years ago a Cardiff commercial traveler went to sleep in s train bound from Cardiff to Bristol and, waking with a shock, found himself lying in pitch darkness beside the permanent way in the tunnel. Six Hours In Inky Blackness. How he got there he had not the faintest idea. Probably he had walked in his sleep, at any rate he was not much hurt, though he had evidently been unconscious for some time. Ho had not the fnintest idea how fnr it was to the entrance, nor which way to po. Soon he became violently thirsty. He heard water trickling down the wall close by, but when he collected some in his hands he wound it was salt. IT�� made a brave effort to find his way out, but dizziness came on nnd he fell unconscious. As he lay there another train passed, and the poor man must have had a desperately nsiTow escape, for it was found that his left boot Keel had been cut off and his ankle sprained. Plate layers found htm eventually and carried him to safety. He had been site hours in the tunnel. Engine Follows the Hounds. Some winters ago a Welsh tunnel was the scene of a most exciting episode. One day in January, 1903, the Carmarthenshire hounds found a fox whicli made at first straight for the coast, but, being turned by some villagers, took to the railway line and ran into a long tunnel, followed by the whole pack. The- master, Mr. Harries, realized the danger to the hounds and at once followed them. He was fully, a quarter of a mile down the tunnel when n roaring sound behind warned him that a train* had entered the tunnel. Almost instantly the glare of the headlight lit the dripping walls, and the horseman, clapping spurs to his horse, began to gallop at full speed through the darkness. There followed ,t most exciting race for life, the man riding at the pitch of his horse's pace, the train thundering in pursuit. Byt a sort of miracle the horse kept its feet, but the train gnined rapidly. At last the white circle of the tunnel's month appearetl and the driver of the engine noticed the black silhouette of the rider against the light and slackened speed. Rider, hounds, and all came safely out of the perilous predicament in which they had plunged themselves. WILL BUMP THE SUN.

A scientific forecast of how the end of the wo;Id might come is given in a new book, "Astronomical Studies," by Professor Ellard Gore. His theory is that final cataclysm may possibly be the result of a collision between the sun nnd some dark, dead, derelict planet. Although astronomers hsve no actual proof that such dead surs exist, without life or light, and careering about in space, they believe it quite possible, and even suspect that what are supposed to be new stars may actually be dark planets that huve become visible through coming into the zone of solar influence. The result ot a collision between the sun and a dark planet would be that the former's light and hent would he enormously increased, and the earth instantly destroyed hy combustion. Professor Gore tells how we should be warned of our approaching doom. "When, about fifteen million miles from the sun, the dark body would bigin to shine by reflected light. Tt would look at first like a new and remote planet. In about ten years it would bave bee ime so bright as to be visible to the naked eve; in fourteen years it would be so bright as to attract general attention. In the fifteenth year it woufd be brighter than any object except the moon, and its terrible approach would have created universal alarm. Very soon after would cni.ie the great catastrophe of its collision, moving at 400 miles per second, with Alie sun moving at the same speed. In the last moments of its apprjach there would be two noons in the sky. "It is possible thnt this dead body might not be so large as the sun. If it were only ns large as Jupiter there would be much shorter warning. The total time,from the date when it became visilile to the cntaclysra would be only nbout three years." rOLCCWS" DIVER'S CALLING. Lady Employs Her Own Crew and Makes Good Living. Miss Florence Baker, is regarded as a protege by all the sailors of the Great Lakes. She is twenty-one years of age, and has laid up a comfortable bank account by following the hazardous calling of a diver. Her first professional work was when she faised $20,000 worth of copper from the ship of W. H. Stevens, which sank in eighty feet of water in Lake Erie several years ago. Miss Baker's father, Copt. H. W. Baker, was a captain of divers, and from the first time she was allowed to go down to the river alone, she used to watcli her father's wrecking ship leave the dock and long to go with him. The ambition to become a diver matured in her as she grew older, and she deplored the fate which had condemned her to be a girl. At last her desire to becomo a diver overcame the objections of her friends and she began mailing wrecking trips with her father, and soon became his inseparable companion. She made a study of every part of the machinery connected in any way with diving, and in time learned to command the wrecking boat with great skill and assurance. Hor First Descent. Her first descent was in Lake Huron, where n tr*. wooden barge bad gone down, and before the wrecking steamer had reached tho spot where the barge had sunk, tho owner spoke to Miss Baker, regretting the loss of a diamond ring which was in the cabin. Miss Baker immediately offered to recover it for him, as she had been planning for some time to muke her fust descent upon the first favorable opportunity. When everything wns made ready for hor to descend, her own father manned the compressed air apparatus, which meant life or death to her, as sbe calmly walked down the ship's ladder and, without a moment's hesitation, disappeared under the water. In describing the sensations of the initial trip, she suid that the feeling at the outset was as if some great creature with a thousand arms was pressing her gently, but firmly on all sides, and ns if in a few minutes her breath would be cut off entirely, but sho was far from frightened, and continued her descent until thc shadow of the sunken barge loomed up before her. She had a strange feeling of buoyancy, and the twenty pounds of lend attached to her feet seemed no heavier than leather soles as she followed her companion to the walls of the sunken ship, and with his aid climbed over them. Undaunted By Pain. At this point she experienced severe pains in her head, and felt as if hei noso were going to bleed, but, still undaunted, she reached the cabin rf the barge, where she entered, and witli the aid of the electric light at her belt, sought out the corner of the cab in, which contained a small stand, upon whicli was the tiny box containing the much-desired diamond ring. In her haste to reach it sho stumbled and fell, and, for the moment wns consumed by a terrible fear, fti the pressure of the water, together with breathing tlie compressed air, had now become nlmost overpowering; but she quickly gained her self- control, and, with the box in her hand, returned to the deck of the wrecker. As a reward for this exploit Miss Baker was presented with the diamond ring she lind recovered, and it is now in her possession. Tlie ring marked the beginning of her fortune, as sbe had proved that she could live under the w*ater, and to be able to do this means thnt a person is worth anywhere from $50 to $200 a day to a wrecking company. As ninety-nine out of every 100 men who descend into the waters of the lakes will in a few minutes begin to suffer from bleeding nt the nose, head-splil- ting pains, and suffocation, that is why'all good divers from one end of the Grent Lakes to the other may be counted on one's fingers nnd toes. Miss Baker now began following up her adventure with practical work, and she early discovered the fact that she was fitted for a captain of divers, instead of a diver alone, ns the locating of tho lost copper ship, which had been searched for for years, has proven.

Allowing for nil the exaggerations, the stories told here by parties from the Lake Abitibi district indicate a condition of things there that make prospecting almost impossible.

"Of the 600 men at Abitibi," says one member of a surveying party just arrived, "only a dozen are now left. They have simply had to quit. The black flies and the mosquitoes give the men no rest, nnd one plague is as bad as the othor. It is impossible to get restful sleep. The continuous fighting of the pests gets on the nerves, and life becomes unendurable. A man dare not remove his clothes. He would instantly be covered with the little brutes." While tho statement of one man who says that tho swarms of mosquitoes can be cut with n knife is, of course, an exaggeration, there is every reason to believe from the raw and bleeding faces of some of those who have returned that the pest of mosquitoes and flics in northlnnd is almost the worst ever reported.

Olden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth and Power. The evil of monopolies nnd rings was knowti to nucleuts, Aristotle referring to them ln his "Politics," and then, as now, it was found necessary to hold them ln check by legislation. The monopolist wus ln Unman law called a dardunarius and punished under the Lex Julia de Annonn. Monopolies ol clothing, fish and all articles of food were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno under pain of confiscation nnd exile, so that It is certain that the rings of the ancient days wero ns mischievous ns they are now. At Athens a law limited the amount of corn a man might buy. The earliest recorded instance we have was a corn rlug. There is an ancient tradition that the king who mnde Joseph his prime minister and committed Into his bauds the entire administration of Egypt was Apepl. Apepl was ono of the shepherd kings and ruled over the whole of Egypt ns Joseph's pharaoh seems to have done. Tho prime minister during seven years of remarkable plenty bought up every bushel of corn beyond the absolute needs of thc Egyptians and stored it. During the terrible famine thnt followed he was able to get his own price and bartered corn successively for tbe Egyptian money, cattle and land and, taking one-flftb for pharaoh, made him supremely wealthy. It was not merely a provident act, but a very politic one, his policy being to centralize power In the monarch's hands.���London Answers. Pearls Increase in Price A good deal has been said about the high prices at a recent sale of jewelry in auction rooms, and surprise ���'has been expressed that one pearl necklace alone should have sold for ��6,800. A. G. Maginnis, joint managing director of a goldsmiths and silversmiths company, said that that price was by no means exceptional for a necklace. "I have hud tho identical necklace in my hand, and I certainly do not think it was dear ut the price. But we havo in stock a number whicli nre far more valuable. At the Paris exposition of 1900 we had a white pearl necklace on show, tlie price of whicli was ��00,000. Such prices as ��25,000, ��30,000 and ��40,- 000 nro not at all uncommon. "The reason that pearls bring in such enormous prices is that fine specimens are scarce. First, they must match. Not one in a thousand is perfectly round. Then necklaces are usually made so that the pearls nre lnrge in front and taper off gradually at the back. This adds to tlie difficulty of matching them. To make up a really well matched necklace may take years. "Undoubtedly the price has gone up during the last ten years, and it is still going up. This is due partly to an increased demand. Then the company which took over the Ceylon fisheries about a year ago is closing them down for twelve months to enable the oysters to recuperate. Therefore, during the next year or so very few new pearls will como into the market."���London Tribuns. Origin of Attar of Roses.
