A species uf temporary color-Mind- neis has liaen observed si the result of long exposure to dazzling light. , A, new geyser hns been discovered Hett St. Ktinne, France. A vein of hot water was tapped At a depth of 5,000 feet, nnd the result is an intermittent fountain throwin*.' a stream to a height of nearly ICO feet above the surface of the earth. Dr. Schrveinfurth has succeeded in fi-es' ening and preserving many of the leaves and flowers from garlands found on the breasts of mummies discovered last year at Deir el Kalian. A small herbarium is thus formed from plants which g.'ew some thirty-five centuries ago. A number of the species have been identified with those now fuuud in the east. For the photography of birds iu their different positions in flying, M. Marey employs an instrument, like a rifle in shape, giving twelve S(icceB.Mve images per second, each image being taken in the 1 700 part of n second, in bright sunlight the time of oxpomiru is reduced to the 1-1,500 ot a aecond. These views furnish an analysis of the motion of birds iu flight which could hot be obtained beftiru the perfection of the processes of inat uituuuoi,.** photography. A new method of preserving meat is to cause the heart of thu animal to pump boracLc acid into the tissues. For example, a sheep is stunned by a blow, and blood being withdrawn front the left juglar vein, a btrong Hohttion of buracic acid, kept at blond heat, is injected. The heart of the still living animal tjuickly pumps the antiseptic fluid into all parts of the.body, and the sheep is then killed by the butcher in the usual way. The cost in slight, and tho meat thus treated will keep several weeks in the heat of summer. It is very generally known that the existence of a planet between Mercury and the sun has long, been suspected by astronomers, but if such hu ohjecf exisis it is ordinarily rendered invisible to telescopes by the dill'iisio-i of (he solar rays. During a total uclipsu thu glare of the sun is removed, and it is hoped that the hypothetical ' plunt-t maybe discovered on such ait occasion. With that purpnsu in view, many observers will eagerly HC'tii the heavens about the sun during the eclips**> of May 17; h, which .will bo ohiefly visible in Africa, The celebrated ''Kent's Holo's of the gonlogists in located near Torquay, in fit* voitail ire, iOntrhuul. This remarkable cavern, flrst scientiflually explored in 1824 by a Catholic clergyman, has'given up remains of the mammoth, rhinoceros, hyena, ell:, and ttther animals now extinct iu England, together With many -flints and other relics of ancient man.

The reseiirejieji f,f m-xli-m nbsurvera, ritiuh as Lubhook and Mt*Cim|(, have continued thu belief in such a power. Dr. Franklin shared the belief, and tested thu matter in an interesting experiment. He placed a small jar, containing a little treacle, in a closet, where a number of ants soon collected to pray upon the vessel's contents. When all waa eiuen the doctor cleared the jar of the ants, a id putting some fresh treacle in it, suspended it by a string from a nail in the ceiling. A single ant remained in the jar, which ate until satisfled, and then sought to find ita way out. It was for some time perplexed, but Anally climbed the string to the ceiling, aud escaped down the wall. It bad been gona but a short time when a large swarm of ants flocked into tho closet, climbed up tha wall to tho ceiling, and then descended by the string into the jar, where they remained until the treacle was devoured, and then departed by the string. It is hardly possible that this should have taken pace had nut the first ant made some communication to the others. R. T.

It ia by comparison that the mind is often- assisted in reaching intelligent and correct conclusions. The Government of British Columbia have been engaged in building a dock at Esqnimalt for about ten yearn off and on, and although little mora than fairly begun, the work has, one way and another, cost the country in tho neighborhood of half a million, According to the last estimate of the Government Engineer, it ahould be completed at aorne indefinite period in the future, tt a total cost of eight hundred thousand dollars, in round numbers. If a reasonable margin he left for damages, &c, to whicli the unpardonable mismanagement of the Government haa rendered the country liable, it will be much safer to plaee the final cost of the dock at a million. Should it fall to the lot of the present Government to complete it, prudent men competent to form an opinion would be disposed to put the possible ultimate cost aa high aa twelve hundred thousand dollars I For present purposes weshallassume, however, that the dock will be completed at a total colt of one million. When 1 Turning from this discouraging picture of home dock building, some eight months ago Mr. Villard visited Portland, Oregon, in connection with his great railway and maritime schemes, and before leaving it occurred to him that a dry dock would be desirable at that junction of sea and land transport. The'Portland Dry Dodk is now well under way, and it is confidently expected that it will be ready to receive ships in ten months from the present time. Its dimensions are as follows: Extreme length, 410 feet; breadth, 115 feet; depth, SO feet; draught over sill,highest water, 46 feet, lowest water, 18 feet. It need hardly be remarked that the capacity will be ample for the largest ahipping. It is to cost, complete, $125,000. Eighteen months in time and $125,020 in money produces a complete dock of the above amplitude at Portland, while to build one of similar dimensions at Esqnimalt bids fair to cost twelve years in time and one million in money— just eiijht times as long and eight times as much! And yet these great dock-builders of ours are the very men respecting whom the or gans said imploringly, "Leave, Ol leave them in otlice till thoy finish the dock. Their dock-building ex perience is invaluable, and should not be lost to the country." If the cost of the experience be the gauge of its value, there can be no doubt that it represents a princely sum; but one would be apt to imagine that the dear-bought experience in dock-building constitutes precisely the ground upon which these blundering schemers should be summarily cast out The constituencies have been starred; public works have been neglected; the federal subsidies have been mortgaged; constitutional safeguards and principles have been trampled under foot; tho ordinary revenues of the country have been illegally alienated; parliament has been deceived, and the people have been led, or at any rate asked, to believe a lie—and all this in order that these men may develop their marvellous capacity for dock building! Would that their blundering were confined to the dock. Tlie same incapacity, the same crook edness, characterises everything that they have done; but it is more effectually dragged into the light. And these are the men who ask the people to -grant them yet another four years' lease of power! What fort To complete the work of spoliation and ruin they have been so signally successful in inaugurating! To continue the insane policy of spiting the Judiciary and fighing a Federal Administration which is miking every reasonable effort to do justice to our long-neglected Pro- ■vincet. : Editor) il Notes. For some time we have been endeavoring to impress the stock farmer! of British Columbia with the importance of improving the breeds of cattle and horses. It is, there fore, with no ordinary pleasure that we note a very decided movement in that direction. Already this season thero have been several very important additions to the breeding stock of the interior, notably, two very fine Stallions imported by Mr. Barnard ; two equally likely ones by Mr. Vernon, nnd two very lino stal lions and seven thoroughbred bulls by Mr. Harper. The last named gentleman has also imported, at great expense, a large Spanish jackass and a Maltese janet. These instances are, we trust, examples to be followed by many of our large and wealthy stock-raisers beyond tho Cascades : for if this Province is to hold its own against the great stock farmers on tho eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, it must be by improving the breeds. The news from home is heartrending. It is horrifying! Last week Lord .Frederick Cavendish was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland. ButrbeJore the ink on hia commission was dry he waa assassinated I This thing is as inexplicable as it is horrible. At the moment the Government was straining itself to concede all that the will and judgement of the nation would stand, the very hand that one might have expected to have been stretched out in thankful recognition, plunges the dagger to the heart of the benefactor! The act is so utterly heartless, so un-Irish that one experiences somo difficulty in realising that it is true —in attributing it to any party. When Guiteau struck down Garfield, tho President wob the unyielding opponent of his wishes. But the very object of this man's appointment was that he might give Ireland more than his predecessor was willing to yield. Yet he is met with the assassin's knife, instead of the friendly grip of the hand. It seems impossible to doubt that, if endorsed by the Irish party, this act will alienate the best sympathies hitherto extended to that party. The immediate result wo will not attempt to forecast; but it is not very easy to see just now how good is to be evolved from this terrible evil. UEWWESTraSTER,B,l MUNICIPAL NOTICE.

To tliu protection aud confidence of our faithful Uyacks I commend yon. Royal Si-vrfiit: By virtue of my prerogative, and in accordance with ancient aud honored custom, I now crown you Queen of May! At the conclusion of the speech, she handed the beautiful floral crown to her Minister (Mr. Thomas), who, placing it ou the head of QUEEN MARGARET, exclaimed, "Hyacks, behold your Queen!"—an exclamation supposed to evoke hearty cheers from lpyal throats. Her Majesty then proceeded to deliver the following speech:-- Beloved Sister: I heartily thank you for your good wishes, mid sincerely trust that my reign will be as happy as your own. I trust that I shall only be taking my place beside you in the. hearts of loyal subjects, where I hope we may long hold our places. Loving Subjects: I greet you as tlie happy'symbol of spring in this merry mouth of May whon nature is clothed in verdure and decked with sweetest flowers.

Miss Dunlop is inspired with a de- Touring curiosity about the Miss Conisbroughs. What can you tell us about them and their antecedents T "Miss Conisbroughs," said Sir Gabriel, knitting his brows. "Oh, of course. Marion Arkendale's daughters. Parson Oonisbrough's girls. Ah! she was a bonny woman, and a nico woman, was Marion Arkondale, when we were all young. I know them a little-yss." "They are Squire Aglionby's grand- nsices, aren't they ?" "Yes, what of that?" "Will they be his heiresses ? You see, I don't know the local gossip yet." "His heiresses—I expect so. Old John never confided the secrets of his last will and testament to me, but it is tha universal expectation that they will, when any one ever thinks any-; thing about it. He disinherited his' son, you know, in a fit of passion, one day." "Lucky for me that you can't," said Randulf mournfully. "I'm more likely to disinherit you for inordinate yawning than anything eW said Sir Gabriel "Hit son married; did he leave any children!" "One boy." "Sursly he wont ignore him utterly." "Hut he will. I remember him telling me that the mother and her relations had the boy, and were going to look after it, and that he was sure thoy hoped by that means to get a pull over him and his money. He added with a great oath, that the brat might make tha best of them, and they of it, for never a stiver of his should it handle. He is the man to keep his word, especially in such a case as that." "Will these girls be much of heiresses]" asked Randulf, apparently stifling a yawn. "Very pretty heiresses, if he divides equally. Some fifteen hundred a year apiece, I should say. But why do you want to know ?" added Sir Gabriel. "Has something happened V "Nothing to my knowledge,'' replied his son; "it-was only the extreme interest felt in the young ladies by Miss Dunlop that made ine ask." "Well, that's all I can tell you about U, except a few anecdotes of old John's prowess in the hunting-fiold, and of his queer temper and oil-hand ways." Sir Gabriel left them. Randulf implored Miss Dunlop to sing, which she did, thereby reducim* him to the last stage of woe nnd dejection. That night the tempest howled out Its roughest paroxysms. The following day was wet, and hopelessly so, with gusts of wind, melancholy, if not violent. The inmates of Danesdale Castle were weather-bound, or the Indies at .any-rata considered themselves su. Sir Gabriel was out all the morning. Randulf was invisible during the great- «r part of the day, and was reported by his man as having a headache and not wishing for any lunch, "Headache!" cried Sir Gabriel to the ladies, with a mighty laugh, "at his age I had never even dreamed of a headache. I'll bet something he's on his back on a couch, with a pipe und a French novel." The ladies said nothing. In the afternoon Sir Gabriel was nut again, and Miss Danesdale and Miss Dunlop yawned in company until dinner-time, when they and their mankind all met together for the first time that day. They were scarcely seated when Sir Gabriel said: "It's odd, Randulf, that you should have been asking so many questions last night about old John Aglionby and those girls. There does seem to be a fatality about these things sometimes." "As how ?" inquired his son, "Old John ia dead. Ho hud an apoplectic fit last night, and died at noon to-day. I met the doctor whilo I was out this afternoon, and he told mu. It gave me a great shock, I must confess. Aglionby of Scar Foot, was a name so inseparably connected with this dale, and with every remembrance of my Ufa that has anything to do with the dale, that it is difficult to realize that now he must be a remembrance hini- sslf, and nothing more." "Yes, indeed, it is very strange. And he leaves no one to take his name." "Ha is sure to have made a proviso that those girls shall take tlio name of Aglionby. I cannot grasp it somehow; that there will be Conisbroughs at Scar Foot—and women!" "Do you visit them, Phillippa?" asked Randulf, turning to his Bister. "We exchange calls occasionally, and we always ask them to our parties in winter, but they have never boon to one of them. Of course I must go and call upon Mrs. Conisbrough at tho proper time." "I'm not sorry the poor girls.will have better times at last," observed Sir Gabriel, on whom tho occurrence seemed to have fallen almost as a blow. "And, after all, ho was seventy-two and over. When I get to that age, boy, you will be thinking it about time for me to clear out." Randulf smiled, and drawled out, "Perhaps I may, sir," but his eyss met those of his father. The old man and the young man understood each other well already. Sir Gabriol Danes- dale slept that night with the secure consciousness that if he lived tu be % hundred, his son would never wish him away. "Ah, there's n deal in family affection," he reflected. "If Aglionby had only been a little move lenient to that poor lad of his, the winter of his life might have had more sun iu it and less frost.... How ho used to ride! Like * devil sometimes. What runs we have had together; and what fish we have killed! Poor old John!" "The first concert of the season, Bernard, and you muan't miss it. Really, for the life of mo, I can't tell what you hear in those awfully c!a- ■ical concerts. Isn't it 'classical' that they call them? I've been to some of them. I like watching the swells come in. and I -dare say H'a very amusing for them, who go regularly to the same places, to meet all their friends, and that eort ol thing; but there. I'm done. Those concerts send me to sleep, or else they make my head ache. It's nothing but a bang-banging, and a squeak-squeaking, without any tune to go by in it. I can't tell what you hear in them." It was Miss Vane who thus addressed her Bwain on the Wednesday evening after he had told her about his mooting with his grandfather. He held his hat in hia hand, and listened to her smilingly, but without any signs of relinquishing his purpose. Perhaps you don't, my love. I hear a great deal in thorn. To-night I shall hear Madame Trebelli sing "Che ftiro senza Eurydice?' which is enough to last any fellow for a week, and make him thrill whenever lie thinks of it. Likewise, I shall hear Beethoven's symphony, Me. 5, which " "Oh, those horrid long symphonies. I know them. I can no more make head or tail of them than I can of your books about ethics or agnostics, or something sticks. But go, go; and I hope you may enjoy it. I like a play or a comio opera, for my part. Promise you'll take me to 'Madame Angot' the next timo it comes, and I'll be good." "To 'Madame Angot' you shall go if I am here, and able to take you, he rejoined, his eyes smiling darkly beneath the brim of his hat. "You wont bo gone to bed when I get back," ho said. "It won't be late; and we can have half an hour's chat; just half an hour." Well, if you're not too late, said Miss Vane graciously. Bernard promised and vowed to return very early; and then went off to enjoy his one piece of genuine, unadulterated luxury and extiavagance his shilling's-worth of uncomfortable standing-room in the "body of the hall," which shilling's-worth, while the great singers sang, and the great orchestral masterpieces were performed in a style almost peculiar to Irkford, of all English towns—represented to him a whole realm of riches aud glory, royal in its splendor. He secured a good place, just behind the last of tho reserved seats, which were filled with a brilliant-looking audience. From the moment in which the well-known leader came ou and received his rounds of applause, to the last strain of the last composition, he was all ear and all delight. It was certainly a feast that night for those who care for such feasts. There was 11 delicious ''Anncreon"over- ture, full of Cherubim's quaintest thoughts; aud thore was the great can.tatrico singing in hor most superb style. "Che faro," though, came in the second part of the performance. Before it was tho Fifth Symphony. Bernard, drinking in tho sounds, re- memberod the old tale nf how some ono asked the composer what he meant by those four portentuus and thrilling chordB which open the symphony, and how ho replied, "Thus fate knocks at tho door." "Se non e vero o ben trovato," thought our hero, smiling to himself. "A fate that knocked in that way would be worth opening to, good or bad. But one usually hears a mo e commonplace tap at the door than that." He listened with heart and snul to the grand scene from "Orpheus." The cadence rang in his ears: "Bury'itce! EtiryiUce! Clio furo bl'ii/1. Eurydice?" When it was over, he slipped out, not caring to spoil the effect of It liy listening to anything mure. As hu marched home, his pulses were beating fust. The strains of "Enrydice" rang in his oars. But the opening chords of the symphony struggled with them and overcame them. "Thus fate knocks at the door," he repeated to himself many times, and in n low voice hummed tho notes. "Thus fate knocks at the door," ho muttered, laughing a Utile to himself, as he inserted his latch-key, and opened the door of No. 13, Crane Street. Ho found Lizzie in the parlor, seated on a stool in tho very middle of tho hearth-rug, and gazing upward at n brown envelope whieh she had stuck on the mantlepieco, in front of the clock. "Bernard," sho said, "there's a telegram for you." She scarcely turned her delicate fair faco toward him as she spoke, "It came almost the minute you'd gone, and I'm fairly dying to know what it can be about." He was very much surprised to seo it himself, but did not say so, taking it as if nothing could have been more natural than for it to come. "Why, U'b addressed to the warehouse," lie remarked. ''How did it get hero ?" "That boy, Robert Stansfield, from the warehouse, brought it. He said it came just as he was leaving, and he thought you might liko to. have it. I believe that boy would die, or do ntiy- thinu for you, Bernard," she added, watching him as he opened and read the messngo without a muscle of his face changing. "James Whaley. solicitor, Yoresett, to Bernard Aglionby, 16 Fence Street, Irkford.—Your grandfather died suddenly this morning, aud your presence here is indispensable. Oome to-morrow by tho train leaving Irkford at 2.15, and I will meet you at Hawes, and explain." "What a long one Bernard! What is it all about!" "A stupid thing which will oblige mo to set off on a business journey tomorrow," he said, frowning a little, speaking quite calmly, but feeling his heart leaping wildly. Was it fate that knocked ut tlm door? or was it "but a bootless bene?" Why did he not tell her, or read her the telegram 1 It was chiefly because of thoir conversation un Monday night lsst. It was because ho know what she would Bay if Bhe heard tho news, and because, rough and abrupt though hu was, ho simply could not endure to hear her comments upon that news, nor to listen to the wild and extravagant hopes which she would build upon it, and which she did not hesitate to express. Ho would havo laughed long and loud, if anyone had told him that his sense of delicacy, and of the fitness of things, was flnor and more discriminating than that of Miss Vane, but it was a fact that it was bo, (To In- Citiiinuml.)
