BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

He is mining engineer for a copper mine in Japan that employs 10,000 men and produces twenty tous of copper a day. The miners work eight hours and get 30 cents a dav. Japan produces about 40,000 tons of copper a year. Mr. Yamada is is also engineer for the Ikeda mines on Moresby island. From the Boundary he goes to inspect the mines and smelters of Montana. The committee appointed at the mass meeting last week to look into the matter of having the Great Northern build a branch through Greenwood, drafted a resolution and sent it to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. When interviewed by the {com- mittee, the smelter managers were uon-commital. The 0. P. E. was treating the B. C. smelter very kindly aud the nmuager had words of praise for that road, but is evidently too timid or politic to express himself publicly in reference to the entree of another railroad. Judging from tho way the C. P. R. sometimes flashes tho cinch, it is just as well to speak kindly, or not at all of that gigantic corporation. Fotor Lover of tho B C mine appeared boforo \V. G. McMynn, stipendiary magistrate, Thursday last, charged by Jj Evans with killing Kitty Winks, a cat belonging to Mis. May. Mrs. May stated that the cat was'a great pet, and that she loved it. Kitty Winks was a great hunter, Mrs. May said, and would kill birds, snakes, gophers and mice, but she had trained it so that it would not touch a chicken dead or alive. She would not take ������100 for Kitty Winks. Peter Lover. swore that the cat killed his chickens and that ho had put a- bullets through its head. After due consideration by the court tho case, was eta- missed, each party, paying their own costs. Tho case is probably the first of the kind in B.

"The Mebbenger.Boy" was played in thc Auditorium Monday evening to a healthy audience. The plot of the play was only in sight occasionally, but tho fun was ap- paient nearly all the time. There* was quite a bib'of"'love iu the piece, one old-joke," some cigarettes, a little villainy and "18 cents worth of beer." When one of the comedians told the other to take the growler down to the Pacific and have Alex Greig put all -the .froth on the bottom, the house fell down and ono man in the "nigger heaven" laughed so much that.his false teetH flew out over the railing arid hit the bass drum on the cranium. The play as presented by tli������l;roupm this city is .an excellent tonic for that jaded feeling that comes from the worries of life. C. W. Deaver died in the hospital last Thursday, after'a week's illness, from cerebrospinal meningitis. He was onlv seventeen years old and had worked in the Mother Lode mine for nearly a year. He was a young man of'exemplary habits and popular with thoso who knew him. His father took tlie remains to Vernon for burial. The funeial in Greenwood to the C. P.

The closing of the smelter and mines throws several hundred men ont of employment. The street is full of rumors anent the shut-down. Some say that the C. P.

Grand Forks has shut forms of gambling, even shaking of dice, and will low tinhorns or cadets to the town. Liquor dealers must not soil booze to drunken men, and boys under 21 yeais of age are not allowed to congregate in any place for the smoking of cigarettes and drinking of liquor. The goodness of Grand Forks will probably drive tho tinhorns up to Phoenix, where they can camp around Gone Shea's place and pick oil' drunken men who stagger into his gin-mill.

Pitteudrigh. postmaster at Rock Creek, has been notified by the postal authorities .at Ottawa of his dismissal and the appointment of his successor. Mr. Pit- tendrigh is a Conservative, and has held the office for nearly tweuty jears satisfactorily to the com- comnuinity which he has served. Mr. Ross, in making thc change, is only living up to the practices of the Liberal party. Mr. Ross recommends the appointment of a county court judge. There are certain legal adveitit-ements published in newspapers of the distiiet. The Jaw has given the judge the privilege, if he so chooses, to name the newspaper in which t1k"*o advertisements shall be published. All judges do not claim this, privilege. Jlr.

One of the great failings of the Gonservative party is 'its civil service reform pipe dream. When legal gentlemen, elevated to tho bench, bring to that high ollice their political animus and political friendships, it's about time to drop thocivil-service-roform-phantasy, and deal exclusively in practical.' politics.

One of the must striking ruses ot ������ecent years for tho abandonment of a baby has bsen successfully carried ou*i in .London. The 'story of how tho infant, u daintily clad baby girl, was left to the tender mercies of the world is a dran.atic one. Tho ruse was carried out at a comparatively late hour at night by a well dressed man and woman. The) succeeded in getting a post- oflice messenger to take the baby as an "express message" for immediate, delivery. It was a clever trick cleverly effected. A well-dressed man, it appears, entered the West Strand postoffice in the evening, wrote a hurried note on a telegram form, and placed "it in aa envelope. Turning to tlio counter, he requested the clerk- to send the message by express messenger to the matron in cliargo of the Lying-in Hospital, City road. Having paid the necessary f*ie, the well-dressed man made a hasty exit. Gets His "Package." The special message was handed to a commissionaire. As ho left tho post- office tho author of the important dispatch accosted him: "Are you taking that special message to the City road hosp'tal?" "Yes," answered the unsuspecting official. "Well, f have a cab here," explained the excited customer. And, in spite of linlMicarted attempts on the part of the messenger to explain that he had been given -Id for omnibus fares, he was inveigled into a cab. Then, to his astonishment, a baby was thrust into his aims. "This is tho parcel," said the mysterious stranger. Although lie did not quite understand, the coinmis sionaire felt that everything must by in order. TTe had soon his employer in conversation with the postoffice clerk. He know that he had to go to the City road. Above all he was conscious of the fact that lie was in n cab with a letter and a parcel to deliver. Though the parcel'had developed into a sin- pularlv nctivc lvihy, tho commissionaire���������accustomed to daily surprise.* !n the ordinary routine of his business��������� proceeded on hi������ mission. The "gentleman" saluted the infant in perfunctory manner, and the lady who had handed the bundle of babyhood to the messenger, parted with it in a storm of passionate kissing And the '���������nb drove off. Sent the Baby Back. The note, written on a telegraph form, which accompanied the child and the commissionaire to tlie City ]\oid Lying-in hospital read: "Please take :n baby until to-morrow. Ain writing." It was addressed to the matron Naturally the Citv road hospital authorities were astounded to receive such a mossace and such a charge Aftpr consultation nmonc thc head officials the baby was refused, and the commissionaire advised to take it back to the plae? whence it came. So back the unfclunato man wen! to tlie Strand posto'lTice. The commissionaire had to pioneer his little charge to Row street, and from thi* oantre of wisdom the baby derelict was forwarded in the arms of a nurse to the Strand workhouse. And there, foredoomed apparently to eternal char- it*- tliisi 6 peek's old girl remains. Tlie foundling is a girl. A pretty littlo baby, aho:it R weeks old, with dark gray eves and quite a lot of d"-1- brown hair. She arrived nt the workhouse clothed in n long nirhttrown. hand worked with silk, and wore silken shoes. _ A pefUcont of thick wool and a pink and white shawl formed other important details of her outfit. Her Queen's Latter. In a secluded part of the Kurachi district in Scinde lives an old woman who is the envy of all her neighbours, tlie cause being that she is the possessor of a letter written by the late Queen Victoria. A quarter of-a century ago she came to England bent upon presenting a petition to the Queen. When she reached Buckingham Palace the Queen was preparing for a drive. The ���������woman expressed her desira to see Her Majesty, and explained that sJie had come from India. Permission was granted for her to present the petition, and the Quren Uicn wrote a few words on notepaper bearing the Royal watermark, to the effect that she had seen the Indian beggar, who was an interesting personage. When she arrived back at Scinde the woman showed the Queen's letter to the local authorities, who pre sented her with a piece of land, which she has cultivated very diligently. She has more intelligence than the average village woman, and in spit.i of her seventy years she still rides <i pony. CONDITIONS ON MARS. Days and Years and Lipht and Heat on tho Rftd Planet. The days in .Ma;--* are ot" about, the same letijith as mirs���������24 hours. 30 minutes, 23 seconds Mars makes her orbit around the sun In a little more thun CSC. days; therefore tlie ���������������������������ensuus are almost twice as long as they are with us. The atmosphere of Mars Is rich In watery vapors. Oceans can be seen, and at the poles tlilcU Ice, which melts when summer <-onies. The variations in temperature are extreme. Mars receives only half as much solar beat as our globe clues. The suu ap-, pears half as large, and the nights, receive their light from two moons, which are smaller than ours��������� Delmos and ['hobos. The weight is such I hat one of ouri kilograms would only weigh 37U grams there. A man Is only able to carry his own weight on his back. Transported to Mars, he could curry three times as much, something like 21i"> kilos. In taking observations of Mars through the telescope one can see a distinct red disk, marked with more or less brilliant spots. Sonic of the spots which arc greenish are the oceans; other very red ones are the continents, greater, In extent than the oceans, which Is the) opposite to (he way the earth Is ills-' posed. The most brilliant spots are; the Ice covered regions of the poles,' and tho clouds are almost oquiilly| bright. The atmosphere of Mars Is1 more transparent than ours, and Its, sky Is incomparably clear. The waters of Mars are more divided, and distributed In Inland seas Joined, by long arms, which are sometimes In*, curving, but oftenest almost rectilinear., and which mark the brilliant surface with dark lines. Just as thc line of load divides the pjines of glass in our church windows. All these dark lines form a pattern which is relatively symmetrical and which does not seem to have been made by chance. A plan so regular must have been designed,! and for a long lime the observers off Mars have been disposed to consider1 , these lines as canals dug by the inhabitants of the planet for the nsods of their civilization.���������Charles Toujuet ini Metropolitan .Magazine. THE GROOM MUST PAY. Queer Marriage Custom Amoncj th* Quebec French Canadians. A singular marriage custom prevails among the French Canadians In Quebec. After the morning marriage service iu the church the bridal party la caleche or carriole make a tour of calls upon relatives and friends during tho day and then return- again to church for vespers. Before Ihe evening dance at the bride's new home comes the supper. When the company rise from the table the bride keeps her seat, and some one asks with-great dignity: ."Why does madam wait? Is she so~soon in bad grace?" She replies; "Somebody has stolen my slipper. I cannot walk." Then they carry her, chair and all, Into the middle of the room, while a loud knocking announces a grotesque ragged vender of boots and shoes, lie kneels before the sllpperless bride and tries on a long succession of old hoots and shoes of every variety and size until at hist he fiii'ls her missing shoe. The groom redeems it for a good price, which Is spent In treating tho company. If the groom Is not watchful they steal her hat and cloak, which he redeems in the same way, and they have been known to steal the bride, for which there must be liberal pay. The event of the evening Is a good Jig, In which n guest volunteers to outdance the bride. If successful the visitor demands a prize from the groom. < Sore, hot, aching or blist- lercd feet are cooled and jhealedby Zam-Bub.

Ghost Wore Plug Hat. A new ghost story is told by Lloyds Weekly, of London. A party nf Norwood machine minders, going Iiome in the early hours of Saturday morning, were suddenly scared by a ghostly figure racing past them to the railway station. The apparition was clothed only in a white nightshirt and a silk hat, and under its arm carried a book and a folded newspapers. One of the workmen tried to stop the seeming phantom, but it was too quick for him. As it reached the railway station tho figure stopped suddenly. When the machine minders came up they found an awakened and much distressed somnambulist, wlio turned and ran for home while they unsympathetically laughed. Tho Raven. Many birds seek tbe protection which the presence of man affords against ���������furred and feathered foes when tho breeding season approaches. Not so the raven. Its distrust of us is profound, and Its nest is placed In soma wild spot far out of reach of our possible attack or succor. But there are other enemies. I know of a pair that built on the side of a projecting cratf high up on the cliffs of Rathllne island. Some fierce peregrine falcons occupied the other 'side of the crag, and when one day their eggs were taken by an, adventurous collector they, sharing the popular opinion of a raven's blackness, concluded that their neighbors were the offenders and wreaked their grief nnd vengeance-upon them. When, on their return from a foraging expedition, the falcons found their nest do- spoiled they were seen tojiold a consultation, and after much deliberation they suddenly arose and both In ono nccord flew nt the ravens' nest and sacked V, tearing it In their rage and Indignation until not one stick wns loft upon another.���������London Standard. Good Specimens of Those Dated 179S and 1737 Are Valuable. The half dollar is one of the most plentiful of all the series of United States coins, having becu Issued regularly each year with but five exceptions since the coinage of the denomination first began in 170-1. These exceptions were Ihe years 1793, 1799, 1S00, 1S0S and 1S10. This Is the reason why so few of them are rare nowadays and that many specimens of the early dates are to he had for little more than face value in a condition that would indicate -ihey were only a year or two old, instead of dating back nearly a hundred years, as many do. Altogether there have been Issued .233 varieties of the half dollar, and all of the branch mints have struck coins: In this denomination, except those ofi Dalilonega, Ga.. and Charlotte, N. C which were authorized to strike only gold coins. The very rare Jialf dollars are those dated I70t, aud 1797. Of those of 1790 there are two varieties, one with fifteen stars on the obverse a round the bust of Liberty, the other with sixteen stars. Each of these two varieties has brought over $100 when In perfect condit'on. The 17!>7 half dollar Is the next rarest, nnd a very liue specimen of this cola has brought us much as $120. The next rarest is the 1838 half dollar struck at New Orleans, with the mint letter "O" under the bust. This coin is worth from .f."0 to $75.

The Queer Joke That Eugene Played on a Printer. When Eugene Field was city editor of the Kansas City Times he found great amusement .in annoying one of the characters employed on the paper. Ferguson was ono of the "makeups'* on the paper, and'In Wyandotte, whore he resided, just over the line from Kansas City, he^was the leader of a local temperance society. For over a year Field, on coming down to the paper to go to work, would write a personal concerning Ferguson. Generally It ran like this: "Mr. John Ferguson, the well known 'makeup' of the Times composing room, appeared for work yesterday evening in his usual beastly state of Intoxication." This entertaining bit Field would send down In a bundle of copy, ,and the others of tlie composing room would set It np and say nothing. Poor Ferguson knew that this awful personal was in their midst and every night would go carefully over every galley for the purpose of locating and killing it. It gave him vast trouble. Every now and then Field would not write his personal about Ferguson and then the bewildered Ferguson was worse off than ever. As long as he conld not find it It might still be there. It- almost drove the poor man off tho paper. Now and then It escaped his eagle eye and was printed. On such occasions Ferguson's burdens wero beyond the power of even a Christian spirit to bear. Is It True? A writer in the "Grand" remarks in a casual way. "Some time ago J saw a couple of brown-paper parcels being lianded 'into a first-class carriage at Euston station. Inside the carriage- was au alderly gentleman with a long" wliite fringe of hair surrounding a bald cranium. It' was Sir Wilfrid Laurier, tho Canadian premier. 'I didn't like packing them in my trunks,' lie explained, 'and 1 thought they'd bettor go in my stateroom on the steamer. So T had my secretary, wrap them up like ordinary parcels, nltliougli thoy're rather lieavy.' What do you think they were? The two massive gold caskets containing, tho freedom of London and Bristol. The Bristol box wasn't presented at Bristol, as tho papers said, ��������� but the - mayor of the city brought it to the Hotel Cecil in a cab and gave it to tho .premier after dinner on Dominion day. They tell me the mayor was as nervously proud of liis gift as a lien with ono chick." ' It Is a Liver Pill���������Many of 'he ailments that man lias "to contend, with have their origin in a disordered liver,, which^is a delicate organ, peculiarly susceptible .to the disturbances that come from irregular habits or -lack of care in eating and drinking.

SAVES LITTLE LIVES Stars and Storm**. Most people suppose that when the stars appear to lo-*e their liveliness, of light aud-.shine without twinkling, as tn iu ute bright poiuts In the sky, fair weather isjn prospect. Studies lately made in this country seem to contradict this popular belief. It has been found that when the stars are feeble In their scintillations foul weather Is at hand. The night before a most violent storm In the south, for Instance, the stars hung so quietly In the sky that they seemed to have entirely lost their scintillating power. This Is said to be only one Instance among many which show that an unusual steadiness In tlie light of the stars precedes the appearance of ttonns. Old Medicine.

Our conclusions with regard to tea are that its original popular use as a stimulating beverage with breakfast nnd tea Is Justified and harmless, but that its Indiscriminate consumption with meat foods or during protuld digestion Is likely to be harmful.

An English author writes of the Australian natives: "Between tribe aud tribe war for purposes of territorial aggrandizement is unknown. They may fight about women or In tlie blood feud, for, as nobody Is supposed to die a natural death, every death Is thought to be caused by hostile magic. Fights are not now resolutely waged, but merely to draw first blood, as a rule, and, as there are no conquests, there are no slaves and very little material progress. There -are no hereditary chiefs, though am-ing some socially advanced tribes a kind of magistracy or a 'moderatorship'- of local groups In the tribal general assembly is hereditary in the male line." Most liquid medicines advertised to cure stomach and bowel troubles and summer complaints contain opiates and are dangerous. When the mother gives Baby's Own'Tablets to her little one she has the guarantee of a government analyst that this medicine does not contain one particle of opiate or-* narcotic.

A weird and startling incident that .occurred - in an ancient Colchester church has caused much speculation as to its nature. JJome workmen employed'in restoring the historic church of St. 'Giles, were carrying away a leaden coffin containing tho remains of Lord John Lucas, who was burred in. 1671. . As, they moved.the heavy casket they in,' some way fractured, it, and were as-! tonished to see a large ��������� quantity of' red fluid, having the appearance of blood, running from the hole in the lead. - - ��������� ' ,'��������� , They' at once concluded that the fluid was blood, and the discoverynaturally caused great consternation among them, seeing that the,coffin is 236 years old. The rector, the Kov.. W. M. Bellamy, and others were called.to inspect the fluid, and they also" were convinced that it was actually blood that oozed out of the collin. Anyway, the incident is probably unique in the annals of sepulture. .- The bodies of Lord John Lucas and Lady Anne, his wife, have long'rested in tlie vault under the vestry at St. Giles's Church. Thc coffin containing tho remains .of Lord Lucas boars an inscription in Latin to the effect: Sacred to the' Memory of the most noble John Lord Lucas, Baron Shon- fiold, who died July 2, 1671, aged 65. This Lord Lucas was the first lord, and founded the family ' now represented by Lord Lucas, better known as Mr. Auberon Herbert. Lord John was the older brother of Sir Charles Lucas, whose execution after tlie' siege of Colchester by the Cromwoll- uins is commemorated by an obelisk in tho local Castle park. Tho vault at St. Giles's is required pfor a new heating apparatus, and permission-was granted by the present Lord Lucas to remove the coffins for re-interment in the churchyard. -It was in tins journey to the churchyard that the cleavage was caused in the coffin containing Lord John's remains, and the mystifying fluid streamed out. The incident recalls many superstitions as to the bleeding of bodies af- tor death, such as being signs to the living that .deceased had met - with .foul play, or was anxious' to warn survivors of impending disasters. A practical solution of the occurrence wns given on Saturday, to out Colchester correspondent by Dr. Heii- ry Laver, F.S.A., thc president of the Essex Archaeological Society, and n great authority upon matters scientific. He at once said that it was not blood at all that came out of tlie coffin. "If you get a body buried in an hermetically , sealed load coffin," he added, "liquid exudes and cannot got out or dry up. At is a red liquid and when cleavage is. made it runs out looking like blood, but is not blood at all." Dr. Laver went on to explain that the lead coffins of to-day were not so perfect as in olden times. Then they wore cast. Modern ones are made of rolled lend, and the joints give way where tliey have been lead soldered. Tn the old coffins of cast lead there were no joints ttj gWe way. The old l?oman coffins were made with burnt joints, and are perfectly, good to-day, ns witness specimens in Colchester museum.

Notable Career of An Australian Officer Who Is Leaving the Army. Col. Harry Finn, C.B., late inspector-general (local major-general) of the forces of the Commonwealth of Australia, who figured in the late Birthday honors, has decided to leave tho army on pension after over 36 years' service, 30 of which were spent in the ranks. Col. Finn has had a remarkable career. The brother of a troop sergeant-major, who. served in the Indian Mutiny, he enlisted in his brother's corps (the'9th Lancers; under an assumed name, and rose to squadron sergeant-major. # He was specially mentioned for his fine work in the Afghan war, and received a i"don Tatler. commission in the 21st Hussars (now J Lancers). He got the "adjutancy after I only three years' "commissioned ser- | vice, and .he was the youngest" field officer in the service when promoted major. He again distinguished himself during the famous charge at Om- durman, and got a brevet lieutenant- colonelcy. Col. Finn is one of the very few officers of his rank who wears the ranker's medal for distinguished conduct in the field. There was a specialist in a certain complaint who always insisted���������that, as he was an exceptionally ''busy man, his patients should partialy divest themselves of clothing before coming into his presencce. One day a man came in without having done this, and was about to speak when the doctor broke out with:��������� "Don't you know my rule about' taking off your clothing? Go and do it at once." ��������� "But���������" "I refuse to see you-nntil you have removed your upper clothing," replied tho doctor. A moment later the man appeared partially undressed. "That's better," said the doctor. "Now, what's wrong with you?" "I only came to ask you to settle this little tailor's bill which has been outstanding so long," said the victim. Sorry for the Queen An English professor wrote on the blackboard in his ��������� laboratory: , "Professor Wilson informs * his students that he hns this day been appointed lionorary physician to her majesty, Queen' Alexandra."

Judgment, carrying with it small, damages, has been delivered in the libel action brought by six members of the Calcutta police-^force against T.he Indian Daily News. The action was based upon that journal's criticism of tbe conduct of the plaintiffs in connection with a murder case two years ago, when a charge was brought against an innocent man. During the libel trial it was elicit ed that the Government of Bengal liad financed thc police officers and given a promise that it would pay the costs of the proceedings, whether they won or lost.

Occasionally In cases of serious wounds where there has been great loss of blood the published reports state that "saline solution" was Injected Into the veins to supply, the deficiency. The average reader, however, has a very vague If any idea how a solution of salt .takes' tlie place of blood. _, ' '.'.''

" As the analysis shows, of 1,000 parts of blood nearly 800 are compose;: ��������� of water and sodium, aud therefore u plain saline solution makes a good sub stltute. The heart does not know the difference, and It goes to pumping away as usual as soon as this imitation blood gets In the veins. The saline so lutlon serves to tide tho patient, ovei the danger point. As the food Is con verted Into chyle, new blood Is formed, the red corpuscles aro supplied rapidly from the normal tissues, and the saline solution Is thrown "off through the so cretions in tho usual way.

The'rattler was about ten feet from the Indian,' who was resting the rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim. Whenever he moved the weapon a few Inches the snake would move around and get,exactly In line with It. Then, to show how the thing was done, the Indian moved about the snake In a circle, and the reptile moved as If its tall were on a pivot, always keeping Its hendNand body In line with the gun. The Indian then agreed to bandage his eyes and shoot the snake In tlie mouth. Tho writer bandaged the Indian's eyes, nnd, holding the gun by his side at arm's length, the latter pulled tire trigger, and the ball entered the snake's mouth and passed the whole length of Its body. "How do you take aim?" was the query. "The snake, he takes aim," was the reply.

THE CRESCENT SYMBOL How It Came to Be Adopted by the Mohammedans. The crescent symbol of the Mohammedans has nothing to do with their peculiar religious opinions and ceremonies. It was not originally a symbol of the followers of Mohammed at all, but was first used by the Byzantines. Thousands of coins have been found in all parts of Turkey which date back to the time when Constantinople was known as 'Byzantium, aud ou"cach of these the symbol ofthe crescent appears, proving conclusively that 'It was in use as an emblem among thc people of that region long before Byzantium was overthrown and Its name changed to Constantinople. The story of the origin of the crescent symbol Is lis follows: When Philip of Macedonia besieged Byzantium be bad planned to storm the city on a certain cloudy night, but before his arrangements were completed the moon shone out and discovered his approach to the besieged citizens, who accordingly marched out and repulsed his forces, something/which would have been Impossible in the darkness. After that event all Byzantine coins bore the symbol of the crescent moon, which was always alluded to as the "savior of Byzantium." After many years the hordes'under Mohammed II. captured Constantinople. At that time-the crescent was used everywhere and upon everything.

A Naval Prediction/ The chief constructor of the French navy is quoted as, saying tliat. he is convinced that the battleship and armored cruiser must before, long be merged into a single type, the battle cruiser. This resultant concentration of great attack and defense with extreme speed will, lie believes, bo found Illustrated, say, in 1915, in a vessel of 25,000 tons, mounting a unit battery of high caliber guns rand developing a speed of not less than 22 knots. The French constructor is also persuaded that any navy now bold enough to lay down battleships of 25,000' tons displacement will by one stroke secure a tremendous advantage over all its rivals, because a squadron of four such vessels will greatly outclass six battleships less effective In the energies that can be assembled.���������Engineer.

Gales are very rare in Rome and never blow with extreme violence. The most striking peculiarity of the Roman climate Is the absence of high winds The air Is pure and clear, owing to the almost complete absence of smoke.- even In the winter months. The average yearly movement of the air Is only five miles an hour. This Is of enormous advantage In winter, since the '.tra- montana" (north wind), which Is the prevailing wind In this season, Is, If strong, decidedly cold and bracing, but when under eight miles an hour is delightful for most people, including Invalids. The south winds are essentially sea breezes. They frequently alternate with the tramontaua. The sirocco (southeast wind), which fortunately does not often blow, Is moist and enervating. It glvetvrlse to languor In most IndlvidunLs. ��������� A Story of Blaine. James G. Blaine made his first appearance on the stump in the canvass In Maine In 1S5C.

He likened his situation to that of a farmer who had a horse for which he a3ked $500 A horso trader offered him $75 for thc animal.
