A.\ndonald Editor of the Toronto\nGlobe.\nMac-\nTlie Government, He Say* Is Republican Only in Name\u00E2\u0080\u0094Is\nMilitary Despotism\nThe decision of the city council to\nii in the action of Mayor .Manson\nrelative to the purchase ol the remaining water rights at bakes\nWoodworth and Shawatlans, is un-\nli tb ii,.-. a wise policy. It secures\n/or the city a vast water supply, free\nfrom all private companies. This\nacquisition of water rights for $15,-\n000 ensures to the city a splendid\nestlc supply and also an exeel-\npower proposition. There are\nno other records on the lakes so that\nthe city will be able to do as it sees\nbest In tlie matter.\nOpinions may differ as to the advisability of tlie povt'er propositions\nsuch as light and tram services being\nowned by the municipality or by\nprivate companies, but in any event\nthe city acts wisely in securing the\nrights at tlie lakes. The city is ensured of a source of supply that in\nthese days of cheap power cannot be\noverestimated.\nMayor Manson has shown that his\ntime was not wasted while he was\nin the south as far as Prince Rupert\nis concerned. That he has been able\nto make a bargain with the Prince\nRupert Power and bight Company\nfor $15,000, which was held by that\ncompany at $30,000 last year, speaks\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0rell for his business ability in advancing the interests of the city.\nWith water rights callable at a\nlomparatlvely light cost of developing well on to 2,000 horsepower,\nPrince Rupert is placed in an enviable position. It can either develop\nthe power if deemed wise or make\narrangements with some private\ncompany lo use tne water in a power\nproposition, in any event the city\nshould lie able to control the situa\ntion so lhat here wiil lie an opportunity to furnish intending manufacturers cheap power.\nIn a day like this when competi\ntion among the different coniiner\noial cities is so great, this question\nof power means much. Added to\nher other vast advantages the city\nis to have within such easy reach as\nto be considered practically in the\ncorporation, water power to serve to\na very considerable exieiit the needs\noi the place for some time.\nThe offer was one that was not\n31H11 to being considered for any\nlength of time. It had to lie acted\napon quickly. Tbe council could\nnot afford to turn down such a\nproposition and tlie business men of\nthe city will undoubtedly endorse\nthe action.\nALL-RED ROUTE\nRev. .1. A. .Macdonald, editor of\nthe Toronto Globe and one of the\n...est known newspaper men in Canada while In Victoria has given his\nopinion of President Diaz, of Mex-1\nleo.\nWilii some twenty of Hie best I\nknown newspaper editors In Canadit\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Hid tiie United Stales Dr. Macdonald was Invited te \ isit Mexico la il\nSeptember as the guest of President\nDiaz, during tlie Centennial celebrations of .Mexican Independence. From\nthat trip lie is only jus; returning\ni.y slow stages, having spent some\ntime in Souther:! California recuperating.\nDr. Macdonald, in the course of an\ninterview expressed a high opini n oi'\nMexico's veteran president. Diaz,\nlie says, is a wonderful man and a\nborn organizer and ruler. But he\nsays that .Mexico's government is republican only in name; Diaz's \"regime\" is rather that of a military\ndespotism, which, all things considered, lias been a benevolent and a\nbeneficent despotism, and has certainly been the saving grace of Mexican independence.\nBut, added Dr. Macdonald in one\nof his characteristically pungent\nphrases, \"a government should grow\nout of the nation, not be put on like\nSaul's armor\u00E2\u0080\u0094and left.\"\nMexico's Need\nThe cardinal weakness in his otherwise strong and sound administration is that President Diaz has not\n\"brought on\" any young men to take\nup the reins of government after\ndeath should call the great republican leader from office. Each of his\ncounsellors is a political Polouius.\nThey are wise men. but old; old men\nwho give good advice as a consola-\nlion for being unable to give good\nexample.

The consequence is\nthat there is no one to succeed him,\nand carry ou his work.\n o\t\nWHERE \"CATGUT\" IS MADE\nProbably but a small percentage\nof the fishermen who -use flies\nstrung with fine translucent \"catgut\" are aware that the almost unbreakable substance that holds the\nhooks against the fiercest struglges\nof the struck fish, comes from silkworms.\nThe principal centre for the manufacture of this kind of catgut is\nthe Island of Procida, in the Bay of\nNaples, but most of the silk worms\nemployed are raised near Torre\nAnnunziata, at the foot of Vesuvius.\nThe caterpillars are killed just as\nthey are about to begin the spinning\nof cocoons, the silk glands are removed and subjected to a process of\npickling, which is the secret of the\ntrade, and afterwards the threads\nare carefully drawn out by skilled\nworkers, mostly women. The length\nof the thread varies from a foot to\nnearly twenty inches,\nThe Fire Fighter\nIt should always be gratifying lo\nresidents of Prince Ruper\ to bear\ntbat the scheme of the All-Red\nRoute is attaining importance and\nnearing definite shape. In the carrying out of such a scheme this port,\nft lias always been felt, would play\nan Important part. The National\nTranscontinental and the Brand\nTrunk Pacific combined must constitute the best railway across the\njontinent of America. In the formulating of .lie All-Red Route with all\nthat lhat scheme means, It has always been felt that the Canadian\nS-overnmenl would favor the G. T. P,\ntor the land end of the scheme as fat-\nis Canada is concerned. This lias\nbeen recognized by those In close\n-.ouch with transportation affairs for\nfears and oilier companies have\nil ....ii a disposition to fear such a\nlonditiou being created.\nTlie premiers Of the overseas dominions are reported to have in\n-lew, looking Into the situation as It\njxisis relative to this scheme in Ireland.\nWhen the time arrives for the\ni\u00C2\u00BBrrying out of such a project, along\nthe magnificent lines contemplated\nby those favoring it, the Grand\nTrunk Pacific will be able to take\nits part in the proposition. Prince\nRupert will be a port with unrivalled advantages in the way of\nshipping and on the great through\nroute among tne seaports of the empire its advancement must be phenomenal.\nEDIT\nH.

This is a\ncompliment to Canada, but It is a\ncase of where the gift horse must be\nlooked in the mouth. The bulk of\nthe population is b'ack. The blacks\nhave very limited political rights,\nand the legislature is based upon a\nrestricted franchise, very different\nfrom anything in this country. The\nThe admission of the islands to confederation would introduce political\nand social problems to which Canadians are now strangers, and and to\nwhich they will probably prefer to\nremain strangers. They see what the\nrace problem means across the line,\nand they will be chary of importing\nit even to the slighest degree, no\nmatter what the commercial compensation may be. The white people of\nthe Bahamas would probably not\nagree to any extension of the political privileges of the colored population. Does Canada want a new\nprovince without representative government in the full sense? The offer\nof the Bahamas must be very strictly examined.\n o\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094\t\nVANCOUVER WATER\nA letter was read from the consulting engineer at the meeting of\nthe Vancouver water committee in\nregard to the expenditure Involved\nin the proposed,new water supply\nfrom the Seymour Creek, and the\ninstallation of the new thirty-four-\ninch pipe.

Against, it is urged\nthe startling facl thai it may upset\nthe balance of the world.\nThe Sahara Desert is an immense,\ndepression many hundred thousands\nof miles In extent, lying generally\nfrom one hundred to a thousand\nfeet below sea level.\nIt is for tlie most part useless, a\nmenace to life and a hindrance to\ncommerce. Its climate is absolutely\nunendurable, because it. lies on and\nabout the equator, below the sea\nlevel, and is shut off from the cooling winds from the north by the\nAtlas Mountains.\nOn behalf of the plan to flood the\nSahara, it is claimed:\n1. Thai it would render the territory surrounding tlie great inland\nlake habitable.\n2. That it would furnish a safe\nand liealty way of communication\nthrough Central Africa.\n3. That it. would give a comparatively moderate climate to this region, as moderate probably, as the\nnorth shore of Africa, lying on the\nMediterranean Sea.\nThe lake could easily he formed,\nacordlng to the proprietors, by cut-1 them out \u00C2\u00B0r tttelr dwelling places,\nting a small fifty-mile canal from or. at best deprive them of the op-\nthe Mediterranean to Ihe Sahara Portunity to flee into tlie trackless\nthrough a certain part, of the French wilderness when pursued\nAfrican possessions., France is the These wild children of the desert,\ncountry chiefly affected by the who are quick to learn nowadays\ncities of London, Edinburgh and\nBrussels.\n\"The British Islands would be\npractically blotted from the map,\nsince their people would become a\nsavage people, clad in skins and\ndrinking oil ann eating blubber like\nthe Eskimo. The picture is a\nstrange one, yet there is something\nelse that is stranger still. Serious-\nminded men of science have predicted something even worse, as a\npossibility, than a mere change of\nclimate.\nSuppose the channels were cut\ndown through the hills and plains\nof .Morocco to the verge of the vast,\nmysterious desert which lies beyond.\n\"There would come the moment\nfor the cutting to be made cm the\nedge of the .Mediterranean\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nmoment when a tremendous explosion of dynamite would shatter the\nlast harrier and allow the waters of\nthe world's oceans to go thundering\nand roaring down the steep incline.\nTbe bursting of a reservoir, I lie\nbreaking of a great dam is a fearful\nthing to contemplate; yet how trivial would' it be compared with this\ngreat cataclysm, which would drain\ntwo million cubic miles of water\nfrom the seas and hurl them in one\ntremendous avalanche into the\nheart of a continent!\n\"Might not this sudden shifting of\nso immense} a mass actually destroy\nthe equipoise of tlie earth, tlie nice\nbalance which keeps it adjusted on\nits ax.s?\n\"That is what Ihe scientists have\nseriously asked themselves; and the\nquestion gives us an almost shuddering insight into the power of the\nhuman brain. It lias seamed and\nscarred the world with lines of\nsteel; it has linked river to river\nand sea to sea; it has levelled\nmountains and tunnelled under the\nriver beds and even the channels of\nthe ocean;-and now it has within\nIts power not merely to convert summer lands into Arctic wastes, but\nconceivably it might even destroy\nthe earth itself and send us all\nwhirling into scattered fragments\nthrough the infinite and awful\nreaches of everlasting space.\"\nNot only the scientists are opposed to the project. The Moors,\nKabyles, Riffs and' other wild tribes\nof the desert and threatening to rise\nin arms against it.\nThe new sea will either flood\nwhich would alter the climate of\nEurope, upset economic conditions\non the continent, and perhaps imperil the safety of the world.\"\nchange, since tiie Sahara lies almost\nentirely within French territory.\nThe change mlghl also be effected letting the waters of the Atlantic\ninto the Sahara from the vest\ncoast of Africa.\nAgainst the formation nf the new-\nsea the chief reason urged is that it\nwould cause a dangerous change in\nthe climate of Europe, tlie consequences of which no one can foresee. It Is quite remarkable how\nmany eminent scientists hold that\nthis would be a grave danger.\nSome go so far as to assert that\nthe sudden shifting of so vast a\nbody of water might shift the position of the earth's axis, thereby entailing a disturbance which might\ncau e the destruction of all life on\n,our globe.\nwhat, is happening in tlie civilized\nworld, have already hteard of the\nEtchegoyen project. Tlie first step\nto carry into effect will be a signal\nfor a raid by them on tlie civilized\nsettlements of the Mediterranean\nshore. They have already proved\nthat they are dangerous antagonists\nin their wars with the French and\nSpanish, and a combined movement\nby them would be indeed a terrible\ndanger.\nIt can be easily seen that consequences or great magnitude, which\nno one can foresee, are involved In\nthis scheme. Professor Mollendorff\nargues that the more' conservative\nand scientific method of dealing.\nwith tbe Sahara would be to reclaim\nit hy irrigation, The tendency of\ncivilization is to reclaim land from\nWATER NOTICE.\nNOTICE is hereby given that an\napplication will be made under Part\nV. of the \"Water Act, 1\u00C2\u00BB09,\" to obtain a licence in the Queen Charlotte Islands Division of Skeena District.\nla) The name, address and occupation of the applicant\u00E2\u0080\u0094Merton A.\nMerrill, Masset, Q.

It\nis an association of individuals who\nare prepared to accept practically\nany risk, the various members, or\ngroups of members, taking the\nchances, each according to his own\nviews and the association itself not\nin any way assuming responsibilities\nfor the Individual risks.\nOriginally the organization undertook only marine Insurance. In the\ndays of the Georges the owner of a\nvessel would go to Lloyds' coffee\nhouse In Alchurch lane and bis fellow merchants would sign their\nnames under the policy and opposite\nthe amount which ea*ch was prepared\nto pay in case of shipwreck. Hence\nthe term \"underwriters.\"\n\"Any Old Risk\" at a Price\nGradually the underwriting custom began to be applied to risks\nother than marine, and the speculative habit was developed. Today,\nlike the old underwriters, the various members are willing to consider\n\"any old risk\" and will accept almost any at a price.\nThe various forms of freak insurance that Lloyds have indulged in\nhas kept its name in the public eye\nas much as anything. England, of\ncourse, has long been accustomed to\nit, but it was such insurance as policies against Black Hand outrages,\ntaken out two years ago, and the\nlosses resulting from the possible\nelection of William Jennings Bryan,\nthat drew the special attention of\nAmericans to this practice of Lloyds,\nthat one can be insured against anything from twins down through\nrainy weather to a cold in the head.\nOne hundred years ago or so the\npredecessors of the present Lloyds\ngambled on th/; fate of Napoleon.\nThe policy was for one month at\nthree per cent. This would be an\nordinary risk today for policies on\nthe lives of threatened uionarchs are\nalmost as common as policies upon\ndelayed ships. Everybody remembers how in 1902 Lloyds took a big\nchance as to whether Edward VII\nwould live long enough to be\ncrowned King of Great Britain and\nIreland and Emperor of India. Many\nmen in Britain carry insurance all\nthe year round on tbe life of the\nKing. Some Wall street speculators,\nit Is said, make it a practice to carry\ninsurance on the life of the President because of the probable market\nupheaval that would tollow the sudden death of the head of the nation.\nWars and the lives of crowned\nheads have always been the greatest\nsource of Lloyds' policies outside of\nits legitimate business of marine insurance. Durin gthe period of continual disturbance in Europe between 1775 and 1815 not a cargo\nwent to sea that was not insured\nagainst capture and during the more\nrecent Japanese-Russian conflict the\nshipments of contraband to both parties were Inovilaby insured at\nLloyds.\nElephant Insurance\nPolicies ou the safety of valuable\nanimals are common, elephant Insurance especially being quite usual.\nOne Of tlie largest animal policies\nwas on tlie life of the great Jumbo\nwhen he was brought to New York\non a steamship,\nHorses, too, ar* often insured at\nLloyds. Nearly every stallion of importance on the Kentucky breeding\nfarms is insured, and still a few\nyears ago many race horses in training were insured, but a succession of\nlosses caused an advance of premiums to virtually a prohibitive figure. The final blow came when\nJames R. Keene's Highball broke his\nleg in a race and had to be destroyed. He was insurend for a very\nlarge amount.\nBank deposits are often insured,\nand the Prince fo Waie's jubilefe\nstamps were insurend at Lloyds, a\nprominent firm of underwriters\nguaranteeing that tbe Issue would be\nsuccessful, it was. An odder risk\nwas the insurance of a glass bed\npacked in twenty cases and shipped\nto an eastern ruler. One case was\ndamaged and the undenrwriter had\nto pay in part. Gate money for cricket and football matches have also\nbeen insured, and a lot of money is\nmade out of the vagaries of the\nweather. Lloyds bets large sums\nright along that it is not going to\nrain on a certain day. At the time\nof King Edward s coronation Lloyds\ninsurend stand owners, decorators\nand florists, and lost, it is estimated,\nat least a million dollars by the postponement of the ceremony. On the\nother hand, the undenrwriters Insured Queen Victoria's jubilee and\nher diamond jubilee, and as both\ntook place according to schedule\nthey made money on the outcome.\nPaderewski on his concert tours\ntakes out half a dozen different\nkinds of insurance, accident and\nhealth, and a separate policy on his\nfingers. Kubelik, the violinist, also\nkeeps his fingers insured and Caruso\nand other grand opera stars carry\ninsurance against colds and other\nmaladies.\nNEW DISEASE IN CANADA\n\"One of the worst effects of the\nchlorine treatment of Toronto's\nwater supply is an epidemic of imag-\nInltls.\" says Dr. Hastings, M. H. O.\nThen he proceeded to hand out a\nfew figures to prove it.\n\"There are 480 drops In every\nounce of water. A pint holds 20\nounces. A gallon, therefore, would\nnold 76,800 drops.\nThe proporcion of chlorine Is one\ndrop In 3,000,000 drops, and when\n/ou figure It out that means a slnglt\ndrop of chlorine to about 40 gallons\nof water, and it is very rarely that\nchlorine reaches the consumer. It\nis almost always taken up by the organic matter in the water before It\nreaches the tap.\"\nTherefor*, argues the M. H. O.\ndon't worry about the chlorine in the\nwater Injuring your hair, your interior, or your plants.\nGEORGE D. TITE\nCOMPLETE HOUSE FURNISHERS\n3rd AVENUE - .
