Four inackprol vessels reached Port liawkesbbry tlie other, day. Three wero Americans and one was a Nova Scotian. The last mentioned landed her fare, sent it forward by rail, and prepared to return to the fishing grounds. The Americans went home. One of the three had 25 barrels, the result of four weeks' fishing, anotliji- had taken 60 barrels in six weeks, while the .third had only 10 barrels to Bhow for four weeks' work. The Canadian had also been fishing four weeks, and had 103 barrels.—St John Sun. Rustless iron is being manufactured in New York by a new process which, it is claimed, converts the surface of the metal into magnetic oxide of iron. This is done by subjecting it successively to the action of highly heated air and cardon- ic oxide gas from coal fires. Tlie hot air converts the metallic surface into red oxide of iron, which is then reduced to black nr magnetic oxide by the gas. This renders it rust proof when exposed to the air or' to fresh or salt water. The process can be applied with most satisfactory results to water pipes and architectural work.-CViicajro Inter Ocean. A model useful dairy cow may be known at a'glance by an expert. She has a lino long head, broad' between thereresf-and a thin, wide muzzle; the eyes ore large, and of a mild expression; tfo JtecttllttWhih and long; the cars are thin and covered within with a deep yellow skin; the forequartera are light and thin, and the whole body has much the shape of a wedge, increasing in size to the rear; the legs are thin with lino bones; the bellyjis large and deep,with great capacity for food; the back is broad and straight, and the ribs are well rounded towards the rear, the bones of the rump are wide apart; the tail is long and thin; the thighs are thin and are set widely apart; the udder is large and full, especially behind; the teats are of good size, and set far apart upon a broad, level udder, ond the milk- vein, so-called, which is the large vein leading from the udder and passing into the abdomen, and which is an indication of the amount of blood circulating through the milk glands, and contributing to the milk secretion, should be full and tortuous in its course. A lino horn, a deep, yellow skin, and a general elegance of form, without any heaviness or beofiness in any part, are also important indications of good quality in a cow for tho dairy.— Am. Agriculturist Over 30,000 persons witnessed at ('uiticy,lll., a jump from a balloon by Prof. Thos. S. Baldwin on July 4th. Baldwin's original intention was to send the balloon up 2000 feet and hold it captive by a rope and make tlie jump from that height, and afterwards draw down the balloon and make a regular voyage. Owing to the high wind which prevailed, tho rope scheme was abandoned. Baldwin ascended to the height of one mile, and then holding his parachute, launched himself into apace. Tho parachute is nu umbrella shaped affair, with ribs of cord, which are prolonged and fastened to a ring, to which the aeronaut olings. It is made of silk, and is eighteen feet in diameter. Tlie parachute was attached to the netting of the balloon by a small cord, in tended to be broken by the weight of the aeronaut. Whontho jump was made the parachute was closed, and the first 200 feet the neronrut dropped like a rock. Then, as the parachute expanded, the speed became less rapid, and the aeronaut and his strange apparatus floated steadily down like a bird. It was a beautiful sight. The decent was accomplished in three minutes and twenty seconds. Baldwin struck the ground with some force in a sliding manner, but was not oven jarred by the shock. The descent varied about a quarter of a mile from the vertical, and tho aeronaut reached the ground a mile and a half from where the ascent was made. TIiob.

Au English' writer makes public the startling information that ladies in England who habitually play lawn tennis are becoming decidedly lopsided. The right shoulder, lie maintains, is about two inches broader than the left, and the muscles of the right arm and hand are becoming abnormally developed at the expense of the left. These per sons also come to lean towards the right, and present altogether such an appearance of deformity as to produce a painful impression upon the mind of a critic. Lawn tennis is played with the right hand- hence the unequal development of the two sides. We suppose there are only two things the ladies can do—give up lawn tennis, or exercise the left arm sufficiently to bring it up to the development of the right. Wouldn't it bo a good idea to practice tennis with both hands, so that tha symmetrical proportions of the form may be preserved! The semi-annual edition of the San Francisco Journal of Commerce contains elaborate tables showing the trade of that port for the first six months of the current year. According to these tables the total imports for the half year at the port of San Francisco wore valued at $22,237,910. Of this $625,991 waa from British Columbia, and $3,791,688 from Great Britain and her possessions. The exports to British Columbia amounted to $495,- 593, from which it will be seen that our exports to San Francisco are greater than our imports by $130,- 398. During the half year San Francisco exported to Australia $321,048, to Great Britain $7,547,- 916, to New Zealand $48,319, to Russia $153,105, to Germany $33,. 806, to France $89,042, to Central America $472,312, to China $1,324,- 659, to Sandwich Islands $1,620,- 881, to Japan $351,007, to Mexico $752,666. The total foreign exports amounted to $13,773,134, which is $8,464,776 less than the imports. It it a significant fact that of the exports $8,417,863, or considerably over one half, went to Great Britain and her various possessions, The imports for the first half of this year wen about a million less than for the same period of 1886. It is stated that the Anthracite Coal Co. is making arrangements to deliver coal at Winnipeg for about $8 a ton. The distance from Loth- bridge (where the coal mines are situated) to Winnipeg is as greet M to Westminster, but the wont- era section of the rood, being mountainous, is much more expensivo to operate than the prairie section. Allowing $2 por ton for the extra cost, anthracite coal ought to be laid down in this city at about $10 per ton. If it can be laid down at that figure then would be a considerable demand here. The coal we get from Nanaimo is of excellent quality, and the price on the wharf is $7. But the Nanaimo coal is bituuiin ous, and is not suitable for many domestic purposes. For open fires it is all that could be wished, but for stores it has the disadvantage of producing large quantities of ash, requiring a good deal of attention, and rapidly filling up the pipes. Tha anthracite coal is freo from all these objections, and the quality of that produced at Lethbridge is said to bo nearly, if not entirely, equal to the best American. We hope to see the Lethbridge coal delivered in this city at $10 per ton during the fall, but if the owners of the mines proposo to supply the Westminster market it is time they were moving. Before leaving Victoria Hon. Thos, White had a conference with the provincial cabinet when the following subjects were discussed, (1) The appointment of county court judges for Westminster, Nanaimo, and Kamloops; (2) Immigration and the necessity for immigration agon cies on the mainland; (3) Importance of inaugurating an efficient policy for the development of our sea fisheries; (4) Establishment of a signal and life-saving station; (5) Steam communication with the west Mast of Vancouver Island; (6) Ex tensive harbor improvements; (7) Calling of the transpacific steam- en; (8) Material assistance to the Shuawap A Okanagan By.; (8) Importance to the imperial and Dominion governments of the extension of the island railway to Fort Rupert, and the neceuity for material aid thereto; (101 Settlement of the AUtka boundary'quettlon; (111 Introduction of the artesian well aystem for irrigation and other purposes east of tlie Cascades; (12) Best method of dealing with the Dominion Unds beyond the Cascades; (13) Indlim matters generally, and (14) Certain proposals respecting the railway belt on the mainland, The minister ia laid to have made care. ful memoranda of these matters with a tiew to laying them before the cabinet at Ottawa on his return. During his visit to this province Hon. Hr. White has had his time very fully ocoupied with public business, and we thsjl be much mistaken if the mult doea not conduce to the promotion of (he public interest.

It has been claimed that the figures of the Chinese census are much too big, There is, however, no known reason why the officials of that county should exaggerate their population. There is no disputing the fact that the means existing there for arriving at an accurate census are most ample. Every house must have a list of Its inmates hung at its door, and a violation of this is visited,with punishment. The imperial and local taxes are based in part upon tho numbers of the people. The most difficult task imposed upon tho provincial rulers is the furnishing tho amounts of money demanded by.the imperial Government and any excessive census return would only increase that difficulty. It is only a fair presumption that if tho census returns are incorrect, they are too small rather than too large. Tho census of 1875 gave the population of tho empire at 435,000,000. Since that time Tonquin has been lost, with several million people, and Kashgaria has been reconquered. Among no people with any degree of civilisation is tne birth rate so high as ia China, and, although the death rate in the densely.crowded districts Is very great, there is every reason to presume there are now 450,000,000 people in China. These figures represent more than one- third of the population of the globe, Tt is a greater population than that of all Kiirnpi:, und three times the number of peoplo on tin western continent. Even at these enormous figures the average number of people to tho square mile for tho whole empire—85—is not so high as in some parts of tho United States. In the great mountain ranges, on the arid plains of Kashgaria and the snowy regions of Mongolia and Mancuria the population is sparse, but in tho eight central provinces of China proper—in the fertile, alluvial soils—the population Is denser and more crowded than in any othor region of equal extent on earth. The villages thero aro almost beyond enumeration, and the numbers of walled cities incredible to those:who have not seen them. In the two Kiang provinces, at the mouth of the Yangts Ihvcr, with an area of 90,000 square miles, the population in 1875 was 72,000,000, and there wero 125 walled cities. . Tho census of 1875 was taken when tho richest portions of these two provinces had been devastated and depopulated by the Taiping rebellion. Since that time thero has been a great inpouring of people from other regions of the empire, especially from thoso districts whero the famine of 1878 prevailed. Tho natural increase ol population bas also been very great, and it would be safe to say that there 00,000 square miles have now more than 80,000,- 000 people, Tho /ol lowing Business Directory rotates only to persons whose advertisements appear In the British Colombian. It hot been found true, as *a rule, that persons who advertise liberally are liberal in tlielr. dealings, and many persons make it a rule to give preference in tlielr dealings to those establishments whicli advertise freely.

A Fike Entertainment. — The musical entertainment given in the Methodist church last night by the It. B. George Convention and Concert Co. wasa splendid success.

The concert consisted ef solos, duets, trios, quartettes, and instrumental music on the organ, and every number was received with hearty applause. Those who took part were Mr. and Mrs. George, Miss Kinsman and Mr. Campbell. Every one was delighted with the music, and many declare it tho most enjoyable and artistic musical oil- tcrlaiment ever given in the city. A clan for musical instruction was formed with 40 members, which will doubtless be considerably increased. The clars meets in tho basement of the Methodist church to-night at 7 o'clook.

Sea Bird, whicli left Port Townsend a year ago and had never been found. The str. Boscowita, which arrived at Nuiini- mo on Tuesday, brings important news from the expedition, which we take from the Free Press: From J. A. Car- thew, who returned from Rivers Inlet by the steamer, we learn that at Corn- ox the party found and arrested Quintet on suspicion of being implicated in the murder of Miller ami Dring. Quintet is brother of the Indian Tataguna, who wu hung at Nanaimo in 1881) for the murder of his uncle ut Salmon River. It is stated that Qumlet mado a complete confession to Joseph Ro- dello of Comox of having murdered Dring and Miller at Cowichan. Ho intendod to murder somo of thoso connected with the hanging of his brother Tataguna, but not having a fuvorblo opportunity, he took his revenge on Miller and Dring.

Pout Simpson, Aug. 0.—Tho salmon run is jurt over, ahd the cannery- mon aro all well ploased with their pack. 1 think tho Skidogato Oil Co. lias had a good catch and done well. The coal mine on Queen Charlotte Island is ubout to be opened. The Hudson Bay Co. is now rushing ita freight up in canoes via the forks of the Skeona to New Caledonia. It is said tlio company will havo a steamer on the river noxt year. A party of 20 mon arrived hero by canoe and boat from the schooners seized in Alaska. They belong mostly to the wost coast of Vancouver Island. A new trade is springing up here. Long ago crowds of Indians from Chilcot, Tacoo, otc, woro in tho habit of cimiug here with thoir fine furs for salo, and thoy got good II. B. Co. blankets and other goods in return (no grog). Now we do not see so many Indiana as formerly, but their whito brothers come to take grog—tho roal Old Tom, thoy say, in some cases by hundreds of gallons. One of these was tbe noted Banks, with his sloop Annie. Well, but they say he was taken nnd lodged in gaol iu Sitka! Yes, but now they coine in small boats, and when thoy come to town they say they havo to soe the place. One party said he expected somo money by the Btoauior; another party said tlio company had not got the kind of goods ho wanted; another that he wished to fit out for a prospecting expedition! But is said that the cheap liquor was all sold. So. they are waiting until the boat comes in, and then there is a sudden exodus into Alaska —not of Metlakahtla Christians, but of whiskey smugglers. Some of them begin to fear that if Mr. Duncan gets settled over the line in Alaska aa a missionary and magistrate, with a batch of constables about him, he may be likely to put a stop to this unlawful traffic and interfere with the new trade! It IS A KKUAKKABLK FACT that Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil is as good for Internal as external uso. For disease of the lungs and throat, and for rheumatism, neuralgia, crick iu the bock, wounds and sores, it is the best known remedy, and much trouble is saved by having it always on hand, Jacob Loock- man, Buffalo, says ho haa been using it for rheumatism. He had suoh a lame back that ho could do nothing; but one bottle entirely cured him. Telegraphic News. By Associated Press. A LETTER FltOM STANLEY.

Mason resented by striking the Chinaman. The entire force of Ohinese, about 200, moat of whom were armed with knives, attacked Mason, who was compelled to take refuge in one of the building, and bar tho door, which tho Chinamen tried to beat down.
