Loudon is Gaitl to have no loss than thirty vegetarian restaurants and ono vegetarian hotel, 'fhe important scientific meetings in Paris for tho five months ending witn October will number at least 70. The (Jape de la Hevo lighthouse, in Franco, is being lighted experimentally by the current from accumulators kept charged by two dynamos driven by a windmill. For deafness of old age, Sapolini, of Milan, swabs thu 111 cm bra no tytnpatii with a weak oleaginous solution of phosphorus, lie claims to havo stimulated tho action of tho membrane and improved the hearing in 62 cases. •An English inventor lays claim to iii electric railway lamp—not controlled by clockwork—which is lighted by the dropping of 11 penny in to,tho apparatus, and continues to ahino for a period of from two minutes to several hours, according to adjustment. In tho decade ending with 1881), the iron production increased 140.- 59 per cent in America, 134.92 in Germany, and 3.96 in Great Britain. The Bessemer steel increase was about 300 per cent, in the United States, 200 in Germany, 575 iu i.l-ussin, and a little over 100 in Great Britain. Seismograph observations have been made on the new Tuy Bridge hy Prof. Ewing. The instrument was placed on the southernmost portion of tlie great girders and as tbe train came on at the Dundee end, a mile and a half away, oscillations of 1500th of an inch were observable, increasing as the train advanced to a maximum of one-half inch, Dynamos in Telegraphy.—-The direct use of dynamos in telegraphy has been a failure, but Mr, \V. H. Precce, F. R, S., declares that their uso indirectly, through secondary latteries, has been eminently successful. At the General Post Offico in London, thore are 220 circuits thus worked from only 38 colls. Tho currents required are very minute compared with thoso used for eleotrio lighting, that for one 50-watt glow lamp being sufficient for 10 telegraphic circuits. An UnsapB Protectoii.—-About half of the many anti-fouling compositions now employed for vessels make uso of coppor, which Prof. V. B. Lowes condemns as very dangerous to iron and steel vessels. "When such coatings aro perforated, copper will be deposited on the iron and result in rapid corrosion. If several vessels aro in the same basin, any one of them coated with such a composition endangers , all, either through the minute particles of copper worn oil'and transported by tho water, or through galvanic action between the vessels. Ver etation-Oauved Rookb.-—In New Providence and other islands of the Bahama group are numerous so-called "banana holes," ranging in size from that of a pint cup to that of a largo cistern. Prof. 0. S. Dolley, who has lately studied theso holes, finds that thoy cannot have had the same origin ns potholes, and do not appear to havo beeu cut out by the waved, and he can only account for them as an effect of tlio action of decaying vegetation. Large quantites of leaves and other vegetable matter aro found in tho holes, aud it is probable that the soft calcareous rock hus been dissolved by tbe fermentation products, and washed away. Flapping op Insect Wings.—- Tho slow flapping of the butterfly's wings is perfectly noiseless, but more rapid movements of insect's wings produco sounds increasing in shrillness with the number of vibrations. Sir John Lubbock hns shown by some of his later observations that the wings of tho horsefly give the sound F, and vibrate 20,100 time!! a minute, 335 times a second, and those of the bee yield tho sound A, vibrating as many as 26,400 times a minute or 440 times a second,— though a tired bee may hum 011 K. making only 330 vibrations a second. Morey has continued these theoretical numbers by placing n fly so that at each vibration the tip of his wing made a mark on n moving cylinder, tho aotual record being 330 strokes a second. Military Dogs.—The systematic uso of dogs in military service has recently been proposed, and it is believed that under proper training the remarkable qualities of these intelligent animals would he of groat value. Thoir acuteness of scent and hearing, with their ability to distinguish friend from foo, fit them for sentries and for scouting, and their speed and small size adapt them to messenger service, while they might even carry small loads of ammunition. After an engagement they would render important aid in hunting up the wounded. This .subject has beforo attracted the attention of military men, while on the Belgian frontiers smugglers have long used dogs to transport (luitable goods, nnd tho custom liouse oflicers to counteract the operations.

Accordingly petitions were circulated throughout tho city and up to lust niglit nearly threo thousand names wore received, including thoso of such mon ns Mayor Mel- ohor, Jutlgo Nathan Cleaver, Judge Syintuicla and Judge Qould. STATE PROTECTION FOR NAULE. San Francisco, Aug. 17.- United StateB Attorney Carey has recoived a telegram from the attorney-general of the United States, instructing him to appear immediately for David Nagle, who is charged with the killing of David S. Terry, and to undertake his defence on behalf of the department of justice. It is inferred from this that the department of justice has investigated tho facts und come to tho opinion that Naglo's act in killing Terry wns tho act of a U. S. officer in the discharge of his duties. A TICKLISH QUESTION. Washinoton, Aug. 10.—The department of st.Ue has referred to the attorney-general the cnao of Capt. Duvergier, recently convicted of killing nn American consul named Stan- wood at Andahabe, Madngaacar, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. As the facilities for caring for prisoners in Madagascar aro not extensive, it is proposed that Duvergicr be brought to this country until tho expiration of the time. The question that arises is whether a legal ri;:ht exists to imprison him in tliis country whon ho wns sentenced to servo his term at Tama* tave. If brought herb it is possible thnt a court would grant a writ of habeas corpus on this ground. No precedents exist by wliich the tstito department cun guide iti action. A UORUIBLG THAOEDY.

BrAINBRD, Minn., Aug. lfl.—An Indian runner from Leech Lake reservation confirms the report previously brought of sot .ous trouble met there by tho north eastern commission iu attempting to negotiate a treaty for the ooasion of the Chippewa Indians' lands. Tlio Indiana nto iu a serious quarrel mul about evenly divided, between tliosu in favor of signing and those opposed. Thu lattor, however, have dpolured war to thu knife on the other party, and declare that the first man who signs must die. Oue Indian had nlreadybeen killed, a relative of tho head chief, Fiatmouth, who is a half* breed from the reiervaUon. The two parties nro led by Cheu-Wa-('o-Sliig and Gbb-Wti-Sig, under chiefs, the former heading the party in favor of signing. The runner stated that a menu ted messenger bad been despatched in haste to a telegraph point, presumably for troopa. NAtii.';.iusTH*iivii. Indianapolis, Aug. 10.—Attorney* Genoral Miller was aeen again at his residence yesterday ami naked if he had anything further to say about the (-hooting of Judgo Terry by Marshal Naglu Ilo replied; "I seo from lhe papers lhat thu action of the deputy is pretty generally endorsed. It appears to he considered Naglo's presence wasnccessttiy and his action justified, I do not caro to speak of the legal aspects of tho caso. I don't know any case analogous to it in our history, nud I do uot recall that it has ever boen necessary beforo to provido protection for a United States judgo, If tho caso comes tj trial I suppose I will be called to testify, but I question whether tlioro over will be a trial. The grand jury may rofuae to act or tho coroner'a jury may find it a case of justifiable homicide 1 have not examined tho legality of tho question, howover, I . thought the protection of tho officers of the law might bo necessary, aud know something about the depurate character of the man with whom Justice Field hnd to deal, 1 thought of trouble when tho trial began, hut, of course, I didn't look for it at a way station or upon the (rain. If the justice's life waa in danger, though, he was as much entitled to tho protection of an officer at any eating house as in a court room or upon a bunch. Though tho attorney-general was very guarded in his utterances hia m inner indicated vory plainly that ho believed that Deputy Nafjlo wns fully justified in shooting Terry. BARNS BURNED.

Buildings are all finished, the hundred and twenty stamps alone remain unset, and ovor twolve hundred feet of tunnelling fail to reveal unything of value; so now all labor is stopped to await for ore to grow. Tho amount of wealth so far expended on this enterprise cannot be learned here, though it necessarily must run into hundreds of thousands.

W. II. Keary, B. W. Shiles, und J. \V. Harvey. With respect to the mayoralty, we have already expressed the opinion thut Mr. Townsend would make a good mayor, conversant as he is with matters before tbo present council, and with his well known zeal, industry and integrity in the civic businoss. It will be noticed that Mr. II. Dickinson, one of our most prominent citizens, and who has so often served in the mayoralty before, received a requisition this morning asking him to allow himsolf to be placed in nomination on the present occasion. But, owing to nil tho circumstances, as explained elsewhere, nearly every citizen will commend Mr. Dickinson's action in declining to stand at this time. Tim Columbian congratulates Mayor- elect Townsend and the city as woll upon the result of the nomination for the mayoralty. The triangular contest for aldermen presents nn interesting sort of conundrum. Two arc to be taken and ono left. Will the electors toss coppers or pull straws to decide which shall be which. But, no; such flippancy in the matter of exercising the franchise should not be indulged in, even though the temptation might be great. Tho greater the difficulty of choice, tho more carefully should every elector weigh tho real merits of each candidate, and vote conscientiously accordingly. We have already commended Mr. Keary's candidature, which was definitely announced the other day. Of Mr. Shiles it is unnecessary to say more than that he is n well and favorably known citizen, having had many yoars' experience in the city council and a good record throughout. Mr. Harvey is one of our most-prominent business men, young, energetic, and enterprising, and having important interests in the city. Any two of the three candidates should mako good aldermen. The polling takes place on Wednesday next, at the city hall, from 0 a.m. to 5 p.m., and every elector can vote for two of the candidates, as tho election is not by wards. KPi-ROYAL LODGE NO. 0.

Now members muy ho proposed and elected at uny Quarterly mooting.—I), Robson, Sec, A number of interesting schemes, says an eastern exjhange, are being propounded just now for the utiliza- . -lion of the immense water power contained in the Niagara Falls, the most careful plan as yet formulated boing the ono described in an address at thn rpoent meeting of tho National Eluetrio Light Association nt tho villago of Niagara Falls, N. Y, Tho proposal is to build a tunnel from the water level below tho falls under the village and 200 feet below the surface of the land at an ascending grade of one foot per hundred, and extending in an easterly direction for two or threo miles. Ovor this lateral tunnels nro to be built, discharging into the main tunnel, and over these again, surface canals, Powerful dynamos will transform tho water-power into olec- tricity, which will be distributed all over tho continent, the capacity of the system being 64,000 cubic feet per minute, nnd furnishing 119,000 horse power. Of course the principal point in such a proposal, to practical minds, at least, will he the cost of the work, nud, when onco. completed, tho real utility of tho wholo undertaking. ' Jt has been estimated that the cost of constructing a ton- foot tunnel a mile in length would be a million dollars, ond might be j I interested that tlie aiiatahtlneTnas very much more, whilo it would not l,oe" ""J-oved troni Ah Poo's wood and . * , ,, ,, iA~lz. I oottlyartl. Any parties wishing to obtain in any case yield moru than 20,000, J wood and charcoal can do so. No AMtter. or perhaps 30,000 horse-power, ono- ' " half of this being wasted whon conveyed to any considerable distanco by electricity. The whole question presents difficulties which the most skilled engineer might well shrink from, and even a De Lesseps consider as an undertaking too great for successful results. At present, no doubt, this immense body of water, falling, as it does, a great distance, wastes all thu tremendous power it generates in pounding ompty air, or dashing upon rocks, and the problem whioh it is now proposed to solve is simply the making of the water- power-act upon machinery in such a way as to generato electricity. That the subject has created considerable interest is evidenced by the faot that an association in Buffalo is said ta - have recently offered $100,000 for any device which should use tho now wasted power of the cataract, Experiments may, of course, bo made at a comparatively small cost, and this would really seem to be the only practiuablo way of dealing with what hits been for years a subject of interesting speculation. the welfare of the mental system as food and drink' are to the physical organism. Popular opinion, it adds, is too apt to assume that brain must be developed at the expense of muscle and muscle at the expense of intellectual development, and that a man cannot be good for both at onco; but there scorns to bo little roal doubt, in opposition to this somewhat widespread idea, that the mental and physical powers of man should be developed together, the welfare of tho former especially depending greatly, except in isolated cases, upon the strength of the latter. Historically there would seem to bo very much to encourage the belief that, as civilization and education have expanded, as mental effort has become more general, the relative increase of physical strength has become marked. As a proof of this view a great writer has stated that many of the suits of armor in the Tower of London would be a tight fit for boys of sixteen to-day, whilo the average British soldier finds his hand cramped for room on tho hils of tho renowned cross-hilted swords of tho Orusadors. It is also snid that the old Greek stone coffins are nearly half a head too short for the average man of to-day. There ean be no doubt that the conquering races of days gono by were successful largely owing to their physical powers, and that when wealth and idleness had softened their muscles and weakened their courage, the result was not only loss of empire, but decadenoo of mental vigor. The history of tho Persian, Greek and Koman powers provo the fact that while energy, courago and strength remained, literature and the varied products of intellectual supremacy flourished, but as soon as riches, luxury and effeminacy replaced the physical prowess of former days, disgrace, defeat and degeneration naturally ensued. To the period when tho two elements went hand in hand do we owe the beautiful poetry of the Persians, the legal and political thought of Rome and tho magnificent Groek type of intellectual beauty—thoso broad views of tho problems of government, the intense love of freedom and the great systems of deductive philosophy. The fondness of the British race for games and exercise of all descriptions is, no doubt, largely the cause of their intellectual vigor, and the philosophers and writers of the present age in Germany are proofs of tho co-existence of the two principles of physical and mental development.

PLAYED HIMSELF FREE. Ailvcuturo nf a ItusBlan Pianist IVlui IVniitoi! lu Go to Germany. Arthur Frledljplm, tho famous pianist, wished to cross Uio western Russian border recently for tlio purposo of filling hiB engagements to play in several Gorman cities. As a Russian subject he was obliged to go through all sorts of formalities with llun- slau ofileials boforo leaving tho country. Two weeks beforo tho dato of his lirst concert ho asked tho Captain of the city of Qt. Petersburg, whore ho was stopping, to nsit tho Governor of Lavonia to ask tho mayor of Pornau, where ho was born, for the consent of tho Pernau polico for tho departure of Arthui'Prlodheim to Germany. Of course, tho mayor and the polico of Pernau had nothing against Mr. Friedheltn or hia concert tour in Germany, and thoy said bo in a letter which they sont to tho Captain of tho capital by return mail. Owing to tho "wretchedness of tho Li- voniiin mail-scrvico this answer was stranded in a fourth-rate post-ofllco a fow miles from Pornau and lay there four weeks. At thn end of tha socond week Mr. Friod- hcim had broken two engagements to givo concerts in Germany. Ab tho cud oftho third week ho had brokon four ongagemen ts and was receiving telegrams by tho scoro from Gorman theatrical managers whom he had disappointed. Tho fourth wook brought telegrams and demands of an explanation, but no letter from Pornau. Froidhoim was in despair, says tho New York Sun, and ho rosolved to cross tho bordor without passes. Ho tried it, was arrested, und was taken beforo tho chiof of tho district, who sont him to prison aftor confiscating his papors. In FrlodUelm's pocket-book woro a package of his visiting- cards aud aeveral uowspnper criticisms of his playing. Tho chief concluded thnt lio hadcaueht tho murderer of Arthur 'Fried* helm. Ho hnd Frlodhclm, whom hu suspected of murdering himself and conllBoatr ing his own paper*, doubly ironed uml doubly guarded. Aftor protesting and appealing for a whole day, Frlodholm got nn audionco with tho chiof. Ho reiterated in vain Uio statement that ho was Arthur Freidheim, tho pianist. Tho chief wouldu' t believo him. Finally Friedhcim bogged to bo nllowod to prove his Identity by playing. Tho chief, who was something ol a musician, consented, Frlcdhciin was marched through the streot to tho chief's houso between two Boldiur*) and was sot down before a piano. Ho played tho socond rhapsody of Liszt. As soon as ho finished tho chief removed the guard, saying: "Now I know you, Frlodhclm." Tlio pianist was released on his promise to return to Bl. Petersburg for his passos. Upou his arrival In tho capital Friedhcim found the lcttor from Pornau and his other papors rendy. for htm, Four days later he bognu playing in Germany with a record of seven broken engagements behind him. Tho official red tape, of which lie was a victim, co disgusted hlm with tho Government of tho Czar that ho has declared his intention to givo up his Russian citizenship to become a subject of Emperor William II.

A numerously signed requisition, on which wore tho names of many of our most prominent business men, wna presented to ox-mayor Dickinson this ihoi-niuif, asking him to allow his name to bu put in nomination for the mayoralty. Mr. Dickinson thanked his friends for this latest evidence of their continued confidonco in him, but declined to stand, giving lor his reasons the late hour at which tho requisition was received, tho shortness uf the term to be served, and lastly he considered that tho head of civic affairs should remain wlih a member of tho present council for tho remainder of the term.

Tho schooner Comet, which arrived at San Francisco a few days ago from Ohiguik, Alaska, brought the following information concerning the salmon pack: Up to July 27th the Chou* mtigiu Island Packing Company had put up only 7,00 cases, the Chignik Bay Packing Company 10,000, and the Chignik Packing Company 0,000 cases. There was no salmon packed tit this point in 1833. The Russian American Packing Company ut Afog- nuk Island had [nicked about 8,500 cases, aud Pollock it Dodge, nt the saino plant*, had salted down only 250 barrel*. Reports trom Cooper River wero not encouraging. At Karluk tho pack nt tlio Commercial Company's cannery up to July 25th, was about 17,000 cases, and that of the Aloution Ialand Packing Company at Koditik about 10,000 cases.

At lho Anniuvillo cannery yeetorday afternoon an Indian, known as Chilli* wtiok Charley, mado two asnaults on the manager, Mr. Birrell, Charley, it appears, bought a cask from tho cannery aomo weeks ngo and yesterday brought it back, saying it leaked and demanded tho prico ho had paid for it. As tlio man wns undor tho influence of liquor at the time, Mr. Birrell, who was busy, paid no attention to him. Chnrloy waited for a fow minutes and thon suddenly mndo an tin- sault on Mr. Birrell, who "aaitod into" his man in proper style aud ended by ejecting him from tho cannery. Not satisfied with tho thrashing lio had already received, Chnrloy went and washed himself nud then returned nud challenged Mr. Birrell to light to a finish. Never dreaming tho Indian would repeat tho assault Mr. Birrell, as before, continued his work and was greatly surprised when tho Siwash steppod up closo nnd struok him a severe blow under tho eyo, Chnrloy was again ejected from the cannery and a boat was sent to brim' a constable from this oity, hut by the timo the ollioer arrived tho Indian hud mndo his escape for parts unknown.

Thero waa not the slightest excito- nient to-day over the nominations, and it was probably the quietest affair ■ of the kind in tlio history of tho city. At 12 noon, when the timo for receiving nominations for mayor expired, none but city officials and a representative of The Columuiak weru in tho city hall. The returning oflicer declared the nominations closed, and then proceeded with the declaration that there boing no other nominations, oxcept that of Mr. W. Jl. Townsend, that gentleman was duly elected mayor of New Wostminstor, Tho nnnounco- mont was received with appknso by those present. Thu apparent lack of interest over tho nominations for mayor was owing to tho fact that it waa generally underatood Mr. Towns- end would be unopposed. At 1 o'clock tlio returning oflicer declared the nominations for aldermen closed, aud announced tiic following candidates for eeata at the aldermanio board: Jas. W. Harvey, proposed by B. Douglas, and seconded by J, G. Jaques. \V. H. Keary, proposed by C. McDonough, and seconded by T. J* Trapp, B. W. Shiles, proposed by James Cunningham and seconded by H. Hoy. No spebches wero mado and the returning officer adjourned thu meeting till 0 o'clock Wednesday morning, when the polls will be opened for vot- Tlie Annual S!u>l*pln& Visit. Tho streets and shops yesterday and to-day were crowded with Indians, men, women and children, who, having been paid off by the canneries, were making their annual shopping tour. Tho amount of money spent by thom in tho laat 48 hours must havo boen vory great if tho numerous packages and boxes carried away by them is to bo taken as a sign. Tho merchants who moke a specialty of Indian trado, all report a rushing business, and every storo in the city haa reaped more or less of tho salmon harvest. Tho quantity and quality of gooda, ea- pccially the latter, purchased by the Indians, is something surprising. In somo instances ihu very richest quality of dress goods waa bought by an old kloochman whoso dumpy form would look juat ns attractive iu the cheapest calico or wincey. But oa ihey nro spending their own money no one interferes with their ideas on dresa, and even the head of the family, whoso labors earned tho money, pays over thu cash without a grumble. Indians are good customers, they pay a fair pi ice without bantering, and cash down and tho murchiint is particularly glad to welcome them at thia season. Wholesale city Market.
