V. REVELSTOKE, WEST KOOTENAY, B.C., DECEMBER 30, 1893. No. 29. Shooting a Mr.n at Douald. At Donald last Saturday night 8 most unfortunate shooting affair occurred, when Constable H. Redgrave shot John Barr, foreman of the Columbia River Lumber Co. Jt appears the two men were in the Forest House and an altercation arose between them as to the fighting abilities of different nationalities. The dispute eventually became personal, and the men agreed to settle the matter outside, They went towards the O.P.R. water ���ank, gome distance from the Forest House, and here Redgrave weakened a little, and said be did not think he would fight, Barr accepted the retraotion on condition that Redgrave would go back with him and make it in the presence of the men who had heard the challenge given. Hedjrave agreed to this, and the men walked back towards the hotel. When opposite the C.P.R. ice bouse Redgrave said Barr must tako him to be a fool, and on Barr turning round to reply Redgrave drew his revolver and shot him in the right sido of the face, the bullet entering the mouth, breaking off two back teetb, and lcdjing somewhere behind the right oar, but owing tc tbe great swelling of the face and Deck its exact whereabouts could not be ascertained. Barr, who is s large, powerful man, reached the hotel witb assistance, but two hours later lost consciousness. Dr. Symonds endeavored to locate the bullet, but without success, and Barr waa taken to Golden hospital, where he is progressing favorably, and it was thought would be able to attend the preliminary examination before the magistrates at Donald on Thursday. Redgrave gave himself up next day, and will probably be committed to the next assizes. It is a great affliction tor his father, Sheriff Redgrave, who buried his wife last September, and we are sure the sympathy of our readers will be extended to bim in Ihis new trouble. 1 Events of the past Year in the Town and Division of Revelstoke. Children's Night at the Methodist Church. The Christ-BBS Eve entertainment last Saturday night was attended by ���noi* a large audience as never before was seen in the Methodist churoh, owing, no doubt, to its being well advertised in the local paper. An excellent programme was presented before the gifts were distributed. The following took part:���Mrs. T. Haig, organ selection; Misses Ruth and Lily Valentine, Grade and Essie Hamilton, Mr. 0. E. Shaw and Neil McLaughlin, recitations; Mr. John Patterson, reading; Mr. Barber, solo, accompanied by Mr. F. Ahlin. Tbe choir sang at intervals, and Dr. Ms- Lean's musical box worked its way through tbe whole gamut of eight tunes, much to the amusement of tbe little ones. Rev. 0. A. Procnnier gave short addresses between the pieces, bnt he gave up the attempt to edge in a word between tbe solos of the musical box and sat himself down to await tbe end with the patient audience. Santa Claus, in the person of Mr. H. N. Coursier, distributed the children's Christmas Cresents, not a single child in the >wn being forgotten. The superintendent of the Sunday-school (Mr. R. Howson), Rev. C. A, Proonnier, Mrs. Howson and other ladies are deserving of thanks for providing suoh a medium tor making the children happy. BIRTH.

Howson, Mrs. D, IIouinson, Mi " Ha inn We started the year with 93 inches of snow. So far this winter 70 inches have fallen. Tbe weather has been milder than last winter, which was said to be the coldest within living memory, tbe mercury dropping to 28 degrees below zero in Revelstoke, The chemical fire engine arrived from Toronto on the 3rd January, and the fire brigade was organized two weeks later. On the 6th of tbe month, while engaged in the erection of the new sawmill (the old one having been destroyed by fire) poor Sam Rathwell was instantly killed. On February 3rd the owners of Tront Lake City advertised the new townsite and a considerable number of lots were disposed ot before the silver panio set in. Lardean also beoame famous as a new and prosperous townsite, At this time no less than eight charters were being applied for to build as many railroads in West Kootenay, bat only three have been constructed���the Revelstoke and Arrow Lake, Naknsp and Sloean, and Nelson and Fort Shepherd. On March 3rd the death of Mr. Hugh Nelson, late Lieut.-Oovernor of British Columbia, ooourred in London, England. Several meetings of Revelstoke citizens took plaoe concerning the townsite dispute and the condition of tbe river bank, and representations were sent to Viotoria and Ottawa. At, George Tnrner, a surveyor, was sent to examine the river bank, bnt the deep scow prevented bis making a proper survey. Wolves were seen and killed close to tbe town, tbe severe weather driving the animals in from the mountains. Two rook slides ooourred this month in the Eagle Pass and several huge snow and timber slides in tbe Illecillewaet canyon two or three miles east. On tha 30th a freight engine strook a rock slide at Soabird Bluff and rolled into tbe Fraser river, drowning Steve Whyto, the engineer, and his fireman. A meeting of oitiaens waa held in RevelBtoke to petition tbe Provincial Government to build a railway from Naknsp to tbe ainet, wbieh road tbe Government bas caused to be oonitrn**- ted ud which will be oi gnat benefit to tbis town and the province, Tbe new sawmill was itarted to work in April and two rowboats opened navigation on tbe Oolumbia by going down river on tbe 8th, tbe str. Marion following on the 20th. Snow fell on tbe 16th, the str. Illecillewaet arrived np irom Robson on the 22nd, and on the 24th two destructive snowslides ooourred three miles oast of the town. Surveyors also oommenoed work on tbe Revelstoke and Arrow Lake Railway. Str. Kootenai left here witb 14 carloads of rails for tbe Nelson 4 Fort Shepberd Railway early in May, and on tbe 18th tbe first shipment of Sloean ore passed throngh Revelatoke. It was from tbe Vanoouver mine, in tbe Mabon group. Sales of Naknsp lota beoame brisk in onticipation of tbe speedv commencement of the Naknsp k Slooan Railway, tenders for whioh were opened on the 7th Jnne. Mr. Van Home and party visited West Kootenay and expressed astonishment at its vast mineral wealth. Tenders for clearing the right of way on the R. k A. L. Railway were opened at Vancouver on tbe 19th of June and the contract. at first awarded to J. J. Nickson, bat ultimately to D. McGillivray, and aotaal work commenced on July 3rd. The str. Arrow bailt at Revelstoke was launched in June. Mr. Daley, Minister of the Interior, addressed a meeting in the schoolhouse on the 2nd of Angnst, when be told onr citizens that tbe townsite dispute would be settled before they ate tbeir Christum dinner; bnt tbe Christmas dinner has beeu eaten and tbe dials still unsettled. On tbe 23rd of tbe same month tbe Hon. Theodore Davie, Premier of British Colnmbia, delivered a speech whioh bas since become famous throughout the province. The oase of Farwell vs. tbe Qneen oame up again it Ottawa in October, and Farwell once more obtained an adverse decision. Tbe first snow fell on Ootober 24tb, and navigation dosed on November 22nd. Mountain fever and la grippe were prevalent dnring November, bnt no fatal cases ooourred. Soundings for tbe new C.P.R, steel bridge over tbe Colnmbia were concluded early in November, bat it is said tbe old bridge will bave to serve a year or two longer. In tbe town itself not much alteration bas taken place. Another hotel and two grocery businesses bave been opened during tbe year, and a new drug store, Catholic churoh, sawmill, and abont a dozen new dwelling-houses bave been erected. Thirty acres of Ihe C.P.R. townsite have been cleared and a fine avenue (Mackenzie) laid out and partially built on. Tbe citizens raised $250 for the purpose of opening np Douglas Street, which bas been a disgrace to tbe town tor yeita. The Government gave an (Hjiml amonnt, and it was thought $500 wonl,! open np a wide, handsome thoroughfare from the entrance of lbe town lo tbe railway track, nearly half a milo. Tbe citizens' ��.350 cleared and levelled tbo street tbe whole width of 80 foet for nearly a quarter of a milo, boi \\!io Government $25Q 1ms simolv W*�� wasted, as far as Douglas Street is concerned. Tbere is still a quarter of a mile to be oleared and graded. Tbe citizens appointed a committee to oversee tbe spending of tbeir 8230, while the Government money was nnder the control of tbe Government Agent here. Hence the difference in the results. No one living in tbe town ean understand Mr, Kirknp's hostility to having any Government money spent bero. And not only bas be bitterly opposed tbe outlay of Government money, bnt bas misrepresented tbe needs of tbe distriot to tbe officials at Viotoria. Personally we bave nothing against Mr. Kirknp, although be seems to think we have, but it is galling to know tbat a man who has so much power as the Government Agent should use it for the sole purpose of obstructing the progress of a town and distriot from which he is drawing a pretty good salary. Capt. Sanderson commenced building a large hotel at the Hot Springs, on Upper Arrow Lake, a health rosort wbioh is bound to become popular, Fine hotels bave been bn-lt at Thomson's Landing, Lardeau and Tront Lake City. Many ranches have been taken ap near these townsites, and et Hall's Landing, where there are abont a score of farms occupied, the Government expended $400 on a wagon road throngh tbe settlement, witb the option of another $200 for extending the road if found neoessary. And here, again, the Government Agent is greatly oensnred by the Hall'a Landers for not osrrying the road further. Bridges have beeu oonstruotod over the Iileoillewaet River, Downie Creek, Fish River, Pool Creek and Lardeau River. Many of these bridges are bailt over large, turbulent streams, where substantial structures are required. Trails bave been made np Healey Creek, tbe north and south forks of tbe Lardeau Biver, and np Poole Creek to tbo headwaters of tbat stream, giving access to tbe im- mens3 deposits of galena in the Black Bear and Lexington olaims, wbile those ap the forks of tbe Lardsan and Healey Creek open op a large distriot riob in gold, silver and lead. Business during the lost bolt of the yea; has bees very brisk in Revelstoke. Railway construction eansed a great influx of laborers, and all the stores and hotels bave bson busy in consequence. Tbe busings done at tbe Revelstoke pot-t-efBee has been exceptionally heavy, tbe Canadian mails for tbe whole of West Kootenay having to go through tbis office. We bave been exempt from fires dnring the year. Tbe engine was called ont only ioar times���once to the station when the piles of brushwood on tbe C. P. R. olearing were burning too near tbe houses, onoe to a basb fire near Douglas Street, and two occasions when its servioes were not required. Smallpox waa brought here irom Vancouver in the spring, and was not stamped oat nntil it had claimed one viotim, a yonng man named Beaton; a native oi Nova Scotia. The spring was very late, and gardening was not so successful aa it wonld otherwise bave been. Although last winter's snowfall was exceptionally heavy the lingering spring weather prevented the melting of tbe snows nntil a month later than nsnal, and the river was at its bighest aboot the lit Angnst, bat did not reaoh the high water mark of 1892. The Kootenay Brewery was re-opened early in the year by Mr. J. E. Long, and a lager beer brewing plant boa recently been added to the Revelstoke Brewery. The Inland Revenue Deoartment granted Mr. W. Cowan tbe privilege of keeping a bonded warehouse abont two months ago. We ore compelled to leave the som- mary oi mining events till n6xt week on oooonnt of look oi space. Get next week's Stab.

The snow waa crisp and hard, and it was quite a pleasure to walk upon it. During Christmas Day several sleighing parties were ont, everybody, great and small, being invited to participate in that healthful recreation. But perhaps, tbe greatest enjoyment was obtained by those wbo went ont by tbe light of the moon. The toboggan slide was lit np about nine p.m. and a large party kept up tbe fun for a oouple of hoars, wbeu an adjournment was made to the residenoe of Mr. H. N. Coursier, where the evening was spent in music, dancing and regaling the inner man. All tho hotels were full, the average number of guests sitting down In dinner being about 00. The usual Christmas obeer of roast goose, turkey and plum pndding was done justice to.and at tbe Victoria an elaborate menu was served at six o'clook.

"You sing':'' says Terry, with some amazement. She has forgotten that he told her hefore. She has seen him so often, but had never thought of him as one who could sing. " Occasionally," smiling 1 then suddenly ho looks hack at her ; he has taken a step or two away. " 1 shall sing to you," he says, gravely.

"Vou touched my heart." The girl, looking at Trefusis, finds his eyes fixed earnestly on her. This gives her a litlle shock, but the power of his singing is so great that she does not draw back from tbat deep g.aze, aud when it is over she still looks at him and smiles faintly, It is the vaguest smile, born altogether of her joy in Ilia singing, not at all of her joy in him, andTref usis is strong enough to acknowledge this lo himself and keep away from her.

In fact, it would not be a safe thing to give a concert here without asking Mrs. Barry to "contribute" something. She. is now "contributing." The lecture has ceased again for the time being. Once again the lights burn gayly, The duet has commenced. Mrs, Dormer, evidently bursting with a desire to know what the " wild waves" are saying, is singing with all her might. Mrs. Barry is trembling witb impatience to begin her part. Ali is going well enough, when suddenly an electric shock runs through the assembly.

THE RUSSIAN FRONTIER. ���loir It Ih kept. , The Russian garrisons on the Prussian frontier havo beon in the recent years considerably strengthened. Until three or four years ago the so-called cordon consisted of comparatively few men only. Service nn the frontier is very monotonous, and the men selected for this work are generally young recruits from the Kastern and central provinces of the Empire. On the 1st and 15th of every month the frontier guards receive their hard-earned and scanty pay, and on the '2nd and Kith of the same month it is regularly expended in drink to the very last kopeck. Thon a had time sets in for them, and they frequently take to stealing from the Prussian farm-houses across the border lino. Sometimes, however, they meet with a pieeo of good luck. A Prussian ben or goose wanders innocently over the line and immediately disappears into thc nearest Ruasian guard-house, where it forms a welcome addition to the frugal rations provided by the authorities. Complaint by tho farmer ia useless. Ho is told that tho matter will bo looked into, und that is thc end of it. At certain periods during the night an ollieer makes the round form post to post. Sometimes 11 signal allot is heard when smugglers are suspected to be in the neighbourhood of a sentry, the signal being taken up by ono guard after another, until ns many as five or six reports break the silence of midnight, Then, if it i.s a false alarm, all becomes still again. On coll winter nights, when tho icy caat wind blows norms tho plains, wood lima like boacons dicker at intervals all nlong the line, and here and I here can bo seen the tall figure of a guard engaged in the vain attempt to thaw his frozen limbs. The chief duty of 11 iissian frontier guards oonaista in preventing smuggling and the introduction of Nihilistic literature nnd proclamations Into Ruasian territory. But tbo guards are often deceived���if lhey arc not bribed by the smugglers, which is frequently the case: a atate of affairs scarcely aurprlalng when ono considers their miserable pay, Very ingenious tricks aro resorted tn in older in elnd" 'heir vigilance.

The speaker was Mr. John Brackenreid, who for years ran an engine between Toronto and Collingwood, and who is known to all the oid sottlera of the northern part of Ontario.

We pulled up there about midnight and then ran to Grundy for water. South of Grundy, and between Dwight and thc water tank, there is 11 rock cut of about three miles, The out is so narrow that a man could not pass a train going through without being struck. We bad gono into the out about halt a mile, when I noticed a red light right ahead ou the middle of tbe track. I HIT ON THE BRAKES and gavo tho whistle for the other car* thinking that a rook had fallen across the track, and that one of tho section men had discovered it in time to givo mo a warning. 1 got the train nt a standstill several hundred yards north of the light, and blew tho whistle for tho man to come up nnd report.

The old runner was straight from stem to stern, ending abruptly at the stern without auy curve, CHARCOAL IRON* SKATE. COSTS A QUARTER.

Thc retailer must give his order in summer for the skates he will need iu the following winter, or he ia likely to find when cold weather cornea that the supply is limited and the prico high.

There is nothing suggestive of zero weather in thc making of skates. A ekatefactory is always a hot place and noisy. Steel is the principal material used,and this reaches the factory in bars, which aro cut with heavy machinery into pieces weighing a little moro than the proapectiic skate. Some of these pieces are welded,others cast, into the proper forms, and finishers 'nisei them down and polish them. The simplest skates are made in six parts, but some of the later and more complicated kinds have thirty parts. Some improvements have been made in the material and workmanship of skates since Inst year, aud although the purchaser will have to pay as much this season as last he will get hotter skates for hia money. Thia ia particularly the case with the cheaper grade?. THE AMERICAN* CM*B. SELLS KOR ��0. and winding up in a scroll in front. In those days, when the skater desired to stop, he simply raised his toes and let thc sharp ends cut into the ice. The present style of runner has a "rock," being highest in the middle, and curves almost as much at the back a.s in front. But it ia in methods of fastening on that the greatest improvements hns been made. The old device of straps and screw was alwaya unsatisfactory. Soles had to be pared down and holes bure-i In the heels. When the holes were big the skates came off or became so loose that tbey hurt thc ankles. Great as the improvements have been it is not considered by manufacturers that the problem has yet heen satisfactorily solved. A process is wanted by which the skate cau be fastened quickly aud securely. Present methods nre improvements, but they have not readied perfection. The first important move was the substitution of heel plates for screws. Thia still loft a strap across the toes and required a hole in the heel, and there was danger of the plates breaking under a severe jar. Then came clamps, a few years ago, grasping the heel and soul on both si-lea, with a wrench to tighten them. The earlier clamps were highly satisfactory. They opened easily while in use, and when they did not open theaole became rounded where the clamps took hold, and the clamps let go. On this account they were supplemented with straps, guards, and braces until the skater's foot resembled a little machine shop. The clamps were threaded and in this form they lacerated the alios worae than before. Toe clamps were then put further forward, the heel plates were made stronger, nnd a long aerew, running lengthwise under the foot rest, drew the fastenings tight. Thia made the foot feel as though it were being pulled through itself, with the heel under the instep. Skaters complained so loudly about this "improvement" that some change bad to be made, aud the lever working from the TWO RACING STYLES MR 1804. The lowest-priced skate in the market next winter will be the charcoal iron skate for 2~, cents a pair. Thia skate ia made entirely of metal, like the othera, and the prico in. hides a pair of heel plates, It is oi cast metal, of courae, but the quality haa bcen greatly improved aince laat year. A handsome Japan finish makes it look pre- sentahle.and it has substantial black straps. In contrast with this cheap skate that almost any boy can buy, is the ideal American club skate, made of the best selected stock, finely polished, diamond toed, engraved and plated, keyless, with special quality and thickness, price SIS. This ia a fancy article, and is thc finest skate that can bc bought, unless the purchaser goes into the tomfoolery of rilver or gold mountings. It is also tho highest priced, excopt that tho corresponding style for ladies, having a russet grain leather heel guard, oosta ��1 more, " American club " is not the brand of a particular manufacturer, but the name of a standard style.

Women's ankles has received duo consideration from the skate makers since last winter. A woman's or girl's ankle is usually weaker than a man's, and it frequently needs some support. For this purpose an ankle support has been made, which is light hutolieclive. It is attached to the skate nnd consista of a clamp that grasps the shoe heel In front and behind, elongated behind und curving to fit the heel of the ahoe, then rising to tbe level of the instep, where it is joined to another bar which reaches to the calf, the joint is adjustable anil can bo sot at any angle and tightened to rigidity, its uso being to allow a free backward or forward motion, but to prevent any sidewise "wabbling." To thc upper bar is fastened a strap two or three inches wide, whicli buckles around the ankle. Tbo strap ia sometimes padded, to make it more comfortable.

This was unsatisfactory at first through faulty construction, hur, it haa been improved until it worka fairly well, and it ia now the favorite method, aa shown in the club skate, RACERS PREFER OLD FASTENINGS. That the old method of screws and straps was not wholly bad ia shown by the fact that the racers have returned to it in part, The skater who expects to make fast time must have skates that will not come off or work loose. For absolute certainty in this respect none of the patent fastenings is satisfactory, and the old screw is revived ��� not one screw in the heel but a complete set of screws. Some racing skates for next winter are fitted with twelve Bcrews. They are generally fastened permanently to the shoes, which are ujcl for skating only The demand for thia stylo Uy proiesaional skaters is greatly iu excess of any previous year. Retailci did not formerly keep them in stock, but they are ordering a great many this summer. Other racing skates fasten with clamps and straps, the clamps made with extra eare to screw tightly. All racing skates are made extra long, with as little weight as possible, and sell for S5 in ordinary finish. The professional skater cultivates speed and tries to make a record; the skillful amateur is more fond of grace and fancy figures. These figures change every year, as surely as styles in bonnets. Some skat- era are so fond of fancy work, which always attracts attention on the ice, tbat they practice throughout the summer on roller akatea, and spend many an hour inventing new capera. The skate business is a very uncertain one, the demand depending almost wholly upon the state of tne weather, and there have been more failure i in it, in proportion to the number engaged iii it, than iu almost any other business. The toboggan haa grown to be a standard article with skate dealers. The style chielly made for thia year is shown in the illustration, Eight ieet long, 18 inches wide, and shod with steel, the beat make costs SIS.

Hundreds of millions Wanted for Enter prlies lo Expedite Transatlantic Travel -a General Beviviil or Visionary Plans iuiil Abandoned llupi's The successful completion of the Manchester Ship Canal has led to the revival of a large number of gigantic enterprises and has also brought tc the front several gentlemen who have mentally constructed canals or bridges of an equally gigantic character. When the Manchester Ship Canal bill was bein^ discussed in Parliament the scheme was boldly denounced as at least as visionary as the South Sea bubble, and it was predicted that if the work were commenced upon it, it would speedily be abandoned. Hence, existing interests would Buffer without any result being achieved. These predictions were made by men of eminence both as debaters and engineers, and the success of the entei prise in face of ao many declarations of impossibility, ha8 been quite encouraging to thepromotcraof other apparently impracticable projects. One of the propositions revived by the completion ofthe Manchester Canal is the scheme to shorten thc distance between Liverpool and Canada hy running a canal across Ireland. From time to time during the last ten years when there hns boen exceptional suffering in Ireland, this proposition has heen talked about, and calculations have boen made- as to the immense sums in wages which would he distributed during the construction of the canal. The same argument is used cow, and it ia also claimed that manufacturing interests would he boomed and thntlurgewngepayingconcerns would naturally locate on the banks of the canal. The engineering difficulties lo bo overcome are not insurmountable ; indeed, in some respects, thoy are less appalling than those which confronted the promoters of the canal connecting Liverpool and Manchester, A CANAI, ACROSS IRELAND. The distance from Liverpool across the Irish Sea to tbe point in Uundaik Bay, which it is proposed to make the eastern outlet of the canal, is less than 150 miles, and the diatance from the point to the Shannon River at a navigable point is leas thau 100 miles. There are several lakes and water courses in the routo and these to some extent would help the work, This canal would shorten the time between Liverpool and New York several houra and it would do away with the delays at Queenstown. The promoters do not, and indeed they have novor been, very explicit aa to the sources from whicli tbe cost of construction could be derived. In the case of the Manchoster Ship Canal all the vested interests of Manchester were clubbed together to promote the measure aud the enterprise, but there is not enough capital along the proposed line of route in Ireland to pay the coat of even obtaining the necessary legislation. The idea haa always been that the Government should appropriate money to aid in the work and it haa also been suggested that the large steamship companies would be willing to subscribe to stock or bonds to uae in completing a work which would be a direct bcuefit to themselves. A FRENCH IDEA. Another proposition for expediting transportation between this country and Europe waa first suggeated ten or twelve yeara ago and haa now been revived by a French company. It consiata of a suggestion that light ships should bo placed in a straight line from Ireland to Newfoundland atabout 200 milea diatance from each other. The ships would be anchored so aa to give them ample play in a storm without shifting their positions materially, and they would bo connected by electric cables strung from continent to continont. The proposition is advocated in ao elaborate prospectus full of details and calculations, and it ia suggested that ocoan travel would be made so easy and safe that people would cross the Atlantic with as little thought as they now take a railroad journey. Figurea are quoted to show the profita that could be derived from chargea made to ateamers along the propoaed route, and it is also pointed out what a convenience it would be, especially in the way of mail and telegraph facilities. The French scheme aeems to be visionary in tbe extreme, but the promoters have been to some expense in bringing thoir idea before the public, and they evidently mean to test public opinion on the subject. A FLOATING JDGOBRjSATJjV. Another proposition looking to incronaed facilities in the way of transportation acroas the Atlantic takes thc form of a vessel very much larger tbau haa ever been attempted before. The great Eastern was nearly 700 feet long and SO feot wide. The new ship which haa been designed and which it is seriously proposed to construct, is more than twice as large as the enormous ship whose maritime career provod such a (lis- aatroua failure, 'ih; new ship's plans show a length of 1-t 10 feet, with a breadth in the widest part of ISO feet, and it iB to carry 4000 passengers. No sea-sickness will bo possible, because there will he nino bulla of special form so constructed aa to prevent rolling of any character. Provision ia made for seven engines of S 1,000 horse-power capable of developing a speed greater than that achieved by the HcoteBt of tho ocean greyhounds. Eight million dollars aro wanted to construct lho snip, and the gentleman of a sanguine temperament who is responsible for tho design speaks of tho raising of this aum of money as quito a trifling matter in view of the enormous profits the immense ahip could earn. The English financial journals have boen discussing the raising of funds and reviving consideration ofthe Panama Canal project, In th is country il has beon generally under- stoo'dtbat the three hundred millions, moro or leBs, which baa been swallowed up, directly and indirectly, at Panama, is absolutely lost, and lhal there ia no possibility of another ono hundred and fifty millions being collected to meet the estimates of work still required to be done. The completion of the Manchester Canal, however, sccma to have quite a cheering effect upon European promoters generally, and lo read somo oi the financial papers ono would bo led to suppoac that work ou the Panama Canal bad been merely temporarily postponed, and that the idea of final abandonment had never been contemplated. THE CHAHNRLTDHNBIa, Ano.her revived project is the Channe' uuuuei aunemo IU UUIlUOUl ClgiaUll Willi France. Knglish people are Justus anxious lo visit Paris every Benson ub wealthy Americana, but many arc deterred from making the visit ou account ofthe rough passage between Dover and Calais, or Folk- alone and Boulogne. This trip, which ia very similar in length toa summer evon- ing a excursion on a Mississippi River steamboat, bas a very discouraging effect because of the high sea often encounlered, an.l the Channel tunnel is proposed to get over ibis dilliculty. Formany years Channel tunnel projects have been brought forward, and the principal objection haa been rather militaiy than financial. Sir Garret, now Lord Wolseley has stated before Parliament that it would be necessary to maintain nn immense garrison at, tbe English end of the tunnel with power to nlow up the tunnel at the first attempted invasion. Even with these precautions he enlarged on the danger of possession boing obtained of both ends of the tunnel, in which ease au army could bo placed in England in a few hours sullicient to overcome tho small standing army, or rather the small portion of that army, kept al home, From timo to time work has boon commenced on tho English shore, but the Qovoruinont nns always interfered the moment the excavators get outside tho imaginary lino whicli divides land from sen jurisdiction. Not only is this project revived, despite its estimated cost of $80,000- 000, but another Napoleon of engineering haa risen lo suggest that all expense of excavation bo saved, and that an immense iron tube like an exaggerated pipe be laid on the ocean bottom from shoio to shore, 3UEE THAT CHICKENS TALK- A Musical Director's Observations ami lu- (cresting Conclusions. A Baltimore special says :���Prof. Asgor Hamerik, the director at the Peabody Conservatory of Music und the composer of Norse symphonies, says thai he has made the discovery that chickens have a language which hc, by careful attention and by experiments, has partially mastered. Ho says : "Chickens are tho greatest gossips in tho world, I know they havo a language, for when one is alone it will not talk at all. It may, perhaps, sing a littic song to pass thc time away, but it will not talk to itself. As ooou, however, as it meets another the co .versation will begin. Their voices are sometimes sweet and then again harsh and discordant as is the case with human beings. With mo it mnkea a groat difference whether a fowl's voice i8 pleaaant or (tis- agreeable, though most people do not seem to notieo the distinction. My chickens have nearly always been of the Cochin China breed, and to them I have paid most attention naturally. I have discovered that they have very acute scnBes of vision, hearing, and taste, but they cannot smell. Their aenae of taste is excellently developed, and after eating anything more than usually palatable they will give vent to an exclamation of pleasure, just aa a person will say 'Ah!' or somothin? of that kind under the same circumstances. "They are peculiarly susceptible to certain colors. Red almost drives thom crazy, while blue ia not to their liking by any means. One day I noticed that my chickens in the backyard wcre in a terrible state of excitement. I accidentally found out the cause of it. There was a red curtain in the back window of a house next door, and I could aee them glance up at this and utter their notes of alarm. I got tho lady of the houae to have the curtain re-moved and the commotion ceased. I tried an experiment with other colors, but they did not seem to mind any but blue, and this they did not like. I found if a blue ribbon or string was tied to one chicken's leg all the rest would keep away from it, "I have noticed that chickens can distinguish between white nnd colored people. For tbe latter they have a special aversion. Whether it is becauao they know by instinct that negroes are ao fond of them for eating purpoaesor not I cannot aay. I once had five Cochin China pullets to which I gave the names of Peto, Pet, Pat, Pit, Pot. Pete would respond readily when hor name was called, but the others would come also with tho exception of Pot, who would come when I called her. Pete would come when I called Pit, Pat, and Pet, showing that she could not distinguish closely between the vowels i, a, and e short. Thore was such a (lifferenoo between these and Pot that the latter would rocognize her name as aoon as called. If tho consonants were transposed, and I would call Top instead ot Pot, Bhe would not notice. " Crowing among roosters is a most interesting study. I have noted the crowa of ovci 100 roosters and I havo never found two alike. One may crow in this manner: ' Dumdidi-didi ;' another may go, 'Dum-didi-didi-didi,' and so on, Thc crow iB nearly always between 12 p. m. and 12 a.m., and is from three to seven seconds in duration. Roosters begin to crow at dawn and those further eastward crow the last. II is a kind of telegraph service from ono to another. Cenorally thoro arc soven crowa given in tho space of ton aoeonds from each other. Cooks crow a few minutes after being frightened and after eating, and I can almost tell exactly when tbey will begin. A rooster is by all odds tbe the proudest thing on earth with no exception. A human being cannot compare with one in this respect." Prof. Hamerik has made so deep a study of chickens that he can imitate their movements and reproduce their voices.

Corals increase by egga, spontaneous division and germination. The rate of growth has not been fully determined.

The census of India just published, givc3 the population as 267,000,000 aboul one- fifth of the entire population of thc earth. Nearly three-fourths of the inhabitants aro engaged iu agriculture. The birth rate is higher than that of any European country, cxcipt Russia, reaching forty-eight in a thousand, and the death rate forty-one per thousand, About 26 per cent, of the children born die during their firat year. Seeing the conditions under which con miners work in hot and dust laden atmoa pbere and their terrible liability to fatal accident, it might naturally be expected that their death rate would be excessively high. As a m itter cf fact, this is far from being lhe ease. Even when l'aul accident is included, their death rate is by no means nn excessively high one, and putting accidents aside the death rate from di-ease alone ia exceptionally low, being iilmoat exactly the snme as agricultural laborers.
