Many of Hie products of the l>nmiinion are i» ■ strong demand in Mexico and could ^.introduced easily by active agents. Statistics of (rude and commerce as between Mexico, the United Stales I and Canada show tbat Canada lias1 nol made full use of her opportunities to;work up this excellent flc'fd.

St.- Petersburg, Dec. 9.—Tlie Associated Press is olbeially authorized to make thc following statement: ".Tho ..reports spread abroad that Russia has purchased either Chilian of Argentine warships are untrue. Efforts were made to secure them for the purpose of reinforcing Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's stfiiadron before it sailed, but there were '" so many dillieulties in the way that the project VYasal_ta.ndon.ed. Their pffv- oliftso now, oven if it were possible, would be unavailable, as Rojestvensky will have arrived in the Far East liefore they could be manned and lilted out. After the war these ships, will be out of date. Having failed ourselves, wc are equally confident that the ships will not fall into tlic hands of the Japanese.'' The Associated Press is also authorized to state tbat even if every ship of the Port Arthur squadron is destroyed it will have no effect upon Rojestvensky's plans, which never contemplated assistance from the Port Arthur* squadron. The reports of the x sinking of a number of the Russian ships causes a feeling of extreme sadness iu high circles. It seems incredible that when it be- Bayait, armoured cruiser, took fire at 11.lit), and is still ablate, and at '1.15 p.m., the Amur, transport.was hit fourteen times'and sunk. Muny shots greatly, damaged the warehouses and other buildings near Pei Yu mountain and the arsenal. N'(....I NOW CHILDLESS, Headquarters of the Third Japanese army, Dec.

Tokio, Dec. !).—(evening)—In disabling tbe Russian fleet at Port Arthur precluding the possibility of its being able to reinforce the Russian second Pacific squadron, the Japanese have accomplished the main object ofilesperate assaults against the fortress which, tlieybavc been making''for the past three months. There is now a strong^ probability tli^t, while continuing the siege, they will avoid losses of the magnitude already attending their efforts, and instead OF assaulting, will rely on starving out the garrison until it is finally captured. Tbe following report dated Dec. 8th, 10 p.m., has been received from the commander of the naval hVd batteries iu front of Port Arvbur: Might shells struck thc protected tleship Peresvlet, and bombarded her. lire.

Thc gun practice which the Japanese are having at the Russian warships in Port Arthur harbor will furnish a great ileal ol valuable information as to the effect of modern high power ordnance on warships ot Ihe present day. Their experiment is a v_._r n\s\\y one lor Russia, but it is unique, as there n__ not lieen anything like it hitherto. Practically the Japanese are mailing targets of really fine battleships and cruisers and noting the effects as accurately as possifle from a distance. When they take Port Arthur they will lie enabled by examining the wrecks to form new ideas on the -onstFubljron of wkrsliips and t'he chance? they have against heavy guns. Similar experiments on a very small scale have been made by France, and also by Great Britain, the old Bellcisle hiring useh by the last named as a tii-gCt tor thc 'tcsH The Bellcisle as a warship, was really obsolete, but she was strengthened in parts and the effects of projectiles and various explosives used against her were closely observed. She was sunk at least once by a perfect shower of shells and then hauled closer in shore, floated and examined. But the present experiment under real war conditions is in a class by itself. o EATING. As Christinas is approaching and the small |#iy is already beginning! to sharpen up an appetite lor plum pudding ami turkey—although perhaps the desirable bird may be somewhat scarce this year if the reports of a turkey famine in the East he true—a little homily along scientific lines on the danger of overeating naturally occurs to one. \| th, outset, however, as a ray ol hope we may state on thc authority of the British Medical Journal that while It is generally believed lhat the ordinary individual cats more than is necessary, it has by no means proved that the majority ol mankind eats to excess. Consequently, when Johnny about two weeks hence, has stuffed himself full at the Christmas table, his mamma, so long as her son is an average boy, may conclude Irom scientific deduction that as the average Individual does not over indulge in catiilg, Johnny is only temporarily embarrassed. Some little time ago, a scientist named Chittenden experimented with various classes of people, including students, professors and a sii.lid of soldiers, extending his observations over a period of several months. He came to the conclusion that half of what the ordinary man eats, is enough to keep one healthy and in good condition; but thc Medical Journal, for once takos the side ol humanity and seems to regard this statement with suspicion, Jt says, what to eat and what to drinl: will always be decided with national custom and individual preference, so tar as the public is concerned; but '.'both may lie influenced in the right direction by the guidance of skilled medical opinion." So it may be seen from all this that medical men and scientists arc not at one in their views and wc confess that alter reading the articles in question , we knew no more than before and that no doubt will also apply to yon gentle reader when you have perused the present article. AN OUTCAST ;K1NG. King Peter, o! Sefvia, continuing to deiy the opinion ol the civilized world, has recently conferred his new order ol knighthood, the.Star of Karargeorge, upon all the officers who took part in the assassination ot King Alexander and Queen Draga. In tact, there is not one of tne regicides who does not wear this token ot the King's recognition ol the part which he played in bringing about his Servian majesty's ahvent to the throne. There Is no truth, however, in the story published at Berlin to the effect that the regicides were about to receive decorations from tho Czar. The latter is far from feeling well disposed to King Peter, in spite ol the. latter's kinsnianship to the house of Romanoff and to his professions of ardent devotion to Russia. For not only did Nicholas refuse to send any grand duke—not epen Grand Duke Peter of Russia, the brother-in-law ol King Peter—to attend the latter's coronation, but when the Servian king asked permission the other day to visit St. Pltcrsburg before the end of the year, in order to express gratitude tor the "constant protect tion of Servian interests by Rus- ria," the Czar curtly replied that he could not possibly, under thc present circumstances, receive the king, and that moreover, "the road Irom Bel- garde to St. Petersburg led through Vienna." This was equivalent to telling thc King that the gates ot the court ol St. Petersburg would remain closed to him as long as he was unable to secure the good will ol Emperor Francis Joseph, who, however, is never likely to forgive or forget the crime which paved the way lor Peter to the throne ot Servia. ■ o A REMARKABLE! nULL. C. Broadwood, rancher at Five Mile Point was' in the city yesterday, says the Nelson Daily News ol Sunday, and told a remarkable story ol the endurance' ot an animal under very trying circumstances. One" of Mr. Broadwood'is neighbors is the owner ot a very valuable three year old bull. The bull always returned in the evening alter grazing on the hills' in the day time. One night early in November the bull did not appear at night and diligent search then and during the next day failed to discover him. The/owner assumed that it had been taken lor a deer by some amateur, huntsman, and gave up the search. *) ; Three weeks and one day—2_days in all—later he found the bull in a clump ol bushes albut 150 yards from) the house, with one horn pinned under a (alien tree, its head twisted to one side, its leet in the air, unable to move in any direction, as it lay in the angle formed by the elope ol the hill and the log. It was living, but wasted almost to skin and bone. The owner and Mr. Broadwwod first fed the animal as It lay, with milk and whiskey. As safon as possible- they cut the log and gently released the bull. Belore trying to relieve the animal a pint of rum was administered. Then a sled, was procured and the invalid was conveyed to its stall, where it is now slowly but steadily recovering. The public health committee of I 'andierwell, London, proposes to lit up the public baths in the borough for cricket practice during the winter months. Apparently the Camber- wellians do not bathe In winter.
