Not- even the-Senate oT- Canada is elected by the popuiar v*ote. Of course "Joe" might.wan": the Senate abolished, but he is not alone in that respect. Tho popular 'A'o'ce of the people in electing our,.law-makers .is certainly according to British and Can adian constitution, but to have the candid honest opinion of any body of men on legislation passed by par liamcnt, we do not believe it can be -secured from a body elected by the populate A'ote. To give aucn thatbody,- we believe, must- be removed from' the day when they must face the electorate. ��������� If Hon. Mr. Martin in his revising ol the British-.constitution had! an idea -to remove the House of Lords and have a chamber above" the House of CommonsCelected similar to��������� our Canad an Senate there might be something to his contention.' But for? all 'parts.-of the governing machinery to be; elected by the popular 'vote of the people is the m- troduotion of 'tootmuth pplitics'in- to our go\rernment.

"One of the largest firms of financiers in England," said Sir William, "have taken a great interest in the Invention. They allowed us to use their strong-room for experiments. The room Is built of chilled steel, and is, air-tight, so that our operator could only, remain in it for 10 minutes. In that time he got connected with another operator on the roof of the building. Experiments have also ,been successfully carried out and' I, myself, have in the early stages of the invention spoken 'through' the walls of a suite of rooms." The two boxes which complete the outfit are about nine cubic Inches each, and are made of mahogany. _ How are you fixed withypur supply of stationery for the Fall. Business?

The "Spanish"'end1 of the-belt is much wider- than the part which passes into, Portugal, and Ms worked by many large companies, the most important being'the Rib Tl'nto and the Tharsis mines. The "'former is > the largest mine of'any-kind in the world. On the Portuguese, side the largest mine is the San ' Domirigos, in tho' extreme south; farther north the Al- justrel mines, and nearer Lisbon the Mina da Coveira. Besides these there are several others of less importance. This is' the copper district of the country. * ��������� - ��������� -- ' In one of the Portuguese , mines where the gossan attains a thickness - of one hundred and thirty feet it is treated with marked success for the small .quantity of gold andr silver which it contains. ��������� " It is a noteworthy fact that ,no mine of any importance in either Spain or Portugal has been discovered that has- not been worked 'by the Romans during their occupation of these countries.

Why Your.^Jngers-Crack. iDr.-Howard-Marsh .tellsdn -a- recent' 'paper that the'"snap," which, is often both felt and "heard"when a joint that has tlorig'been stiff-orv at rest'is 'suddenly moved.is a'phenomenon-, to which bonesetters ,point as- a>plain-demonstration that a, bone was but. and has been put in.-'"These1 snaps)"however, ares not - produced *'by >! the- -'concussion1 of two'joint- surfaces:! as' they- come suddenly into contact but.on-the contrary, are due to the. sudden separation1 of 'two' surfaces 'which 'have 'been ���������stuck' together -by^'a^too-viscid' and" tenacious synovial' fluid.: (the -synovial fluid is of the consistency.of-white of' egg,' and is "Nature's lubricator of our Joints, ,In ��������� the-; cavities-' of s-wnlch' it is. present)." - ��������� Manyipersons\can ;make''all' their fingers- crack" by-steadily pulling at them till" the", joint surfaces suddenly separate. The Cry of the "DeTil-BIrd.* Of all the awe-inspiring- sounds emited by wild "creatures none "is "to' be compared to that, of the "devil- bird" of Ceylon, whose cry has been likened to the scream ��������� of a .human- being undergoing the most frightful torture.. Naturalists 'have- identified; this bird with the brown , wood-owl found in Hindustan. The'"devil-bird;" or ulama, as the Cingalese call it,' is an elusive. creature.' The natives of Ceylon regard the cry .'of this bird with superstitious horror, for, it 'is "claimed, its scream 'heard at night presages the mopt dire -misfortunes. An official of the Cevlen civil service has given some study to this curious bird. "Its ordinary' note, he states, .'is a magnificent clear, s^out like that of a human being, heard at a great distance, and producing a fine effect in the silence of tho n'ght. 'But the sounds that have earned for the bird Its bad name, and which this officer reports he heard to perfection but once, are said to he well-nigh indescribable, the mc=t appalling that "can be imagined, and scarcely to be heard without a shudder. It has been compared to the cr'e? -p. a boy in torture, whose screams a������e being stopped by strangulation. The Ivory Supply. . In view of .the-jrapid disappearance! of the herds of "elephants which for-, merly roamed1 in Africa, and the* limited number of those animals re-' mainin'gi In'Asia, attention -has, been; called1-to the enormous; supply of ivory which-exists'in-'the "frozen tundras of Siberia, and which, it is thought,' will probably suffice for the: world's consumption' for many years to'come. This1 ivory, consist's of the: ,tusks of the- extinct' species of: elephant called'mammoths.-.The tusks' of these animals were of -great,size, and are wonderfully abundant' at* some places in Siberia. Stronger tli.m Dynamite The recent death of the inventor of the Japanese explosive, shimose powder, which played vn^h an important part in the Russian war, adds interest to the announc^p-ent made by. B. F. B. Wright, a former- professor of chemistry at Harvard, that he has discovered a new explosive- that is almost safe to handle and three times as powerful as dynamite. Of rourse the, ingredients are being kept a, Tenth of a Second It is not common to find a person who can correctly estimate; the lapse1 of-a single-second, says V well known Scientist. -But- in these'- days of speeding motor-cars the exact time: when each, of two colliding-vehicles; must have occupied particular spots may*��������� be7a 'matter of great Importance. .In , a -"'recent-' experiment a; car took nearly ./.'two .' seconds to stop after brakes-'"were ?appdied,"and 'in that*time- it moved \%9 'ft '.

The cult of reaMsm is spreading. Art, Literature, and the 'Stage'.' have' all been permeated by it, and how the Church seems to bb following suit. The pioneer Is the Rev. Charles; Harrison, vicar, of Selston, a-colliery " village "in England. For the celebration of the harvest festival the ylcar decided to use "God's own temple"��������� a stackyard -attached to the farm of one of "his congregation. A ��������� farm waggon, with the 'horse in ;th'e-shafts, was used <as. a!' pulpit, sheaves of corn being placed ;at each corner. On one side of the waggon was a large wheat stack, on the other side a'stack' . of oats, and at the rear hay and straw ' ricks. The surpliced choir- and school children.sang harvest hymns. M '.
