Sir John Lubbock's oldest queen ant has reached the age of fourtain, and still lays fertile eggs. Tannin has been discovered as an animal substance by M. Villon, a French chemist, who finds that corn weevils contain about three per cent of it, Seven varieties of fishes examined by naturalists of the Challenger expedition are found totally blind in the deep sea, but have eyes when inhabiting shallow water. Abdominal massage has beon successfully applied by Dr. H. Sithli, of Heme, to the cure of constipation. He patients are recommended to roll a five-pound cannon ball ovor the abdomen for live or ten minutes daily. An annalysis of "mystery gold," reveals an alloy of copper, silver, gold, aluminium, and iron, the last probably being sn impurity. Even when present in small proportion, the aluminium resists the nitric acid test. A singular error is the use of the word "cocoa-nut," which, botanical authorities urge, should be coco-nut" The wrong spelling is charged upon Dr, Johnson, who is said to havu confused the coco-nut" with "cocoa," which is the product of the cacao tree. Astronomy is likely to have a "boom" in the United States. Among the institutions that have projected or just completed new observatories of importance are, Iowa College, Carleton College, Smith College, lake Forest University, and Bates College. ' Austrian engineers speak favorably of Oiesil's pilot engine for preventing railway collisions. It is worked by electricity, under the control of the engineer, and is run at any desired distance in front of the train, which it stops automatically on encountering any obstacle. The possibility of infection from disease-germs escaping from hospital windows is attracting some attention, and a special inquiry is recommended. Hospital ventilation might be so arranged that the foul air would be drawn through a furnace before mingling with the outer atmosphere. A commission of the Paris Academy ot Medicine finds that hydrofluoric acid, which is highly antiseptic, has a therapeutic action when inhaled. It dissents, however, from the opinion of gluss'wnrkers that the inhalations cure consumption, but considers that they mny be useful in diphtheria. A London coroner has raised the question whether a man can cough himself to pieces, A broken rib was found in a duceascd lunatic, when medical evidence was brought forward to show that under certain abnormal conditions bones may be broken by muscular efforts, or even by a violent fit of coughing. An English chemist lias shown that the brittleness of the bones of the aged is not due, as is generally supposed, to an increase of the pro. portion of mineral salts with advancing years. From a section of the femur of fifty subjects of different ages no difference in the proportion of ash could be determined. A powerful disinfectant, adopted to all purposes, has been obtained in Paris from coal-oil. It is a sirupy brown liquid, of a not disagreeable odor, resulting from a peculiar saponification of the oil by caustic soda. It destroys moss and fungus on trees, and sponding with a weak solution keeps flies from horses. In a very sensitive micro-radiometer described by Prof. Weber to the Helvetic Society of Sciences, the expansion of a tube of air presses a solution of zinc-sulphate toward the opposite side of a VVheatstone bridge; giving a great difference of electrical resistence.

Jan. 21— It transpires that Cardinal Manning lias recently written a number of letters to the Pope with a view of dissuading the Holy Fattier from interfering with the Irish Catholics in their struggle with the English Government for Home Rule for Ireland. Concerning Ui«*u letters, the Chronicle, says they have undoubtedly had some effect; but their influence with the Vatican has fallen far short of tbe Cardinals expectations, llie best results he had been able to obtain, the Chronicle, asserts, are the not very positive afcsurancu that the Pope will not publicly condemn the course of the national party but will content himself with giving private and detailed instruction to the Irish biBliupa as to the future conduct of themselves, of the clergy and laity. To what extent these instructions will be carried out, remains to be seen. donnei-ly's drivel. London, Jan. 24.— Eoctor Mason, professor of literature in the Edinburgh University, and generally regarded as the foremost authority in the kingdom in a decision on literary questions, has written his opinions of lgnat'.us Doi- relly's Cryptogram, treating of the subject in tern's anything but complimentary tp that gertleman. After going into the mat ,er exhaustively to show the absurdity of Mr. Donnelly's claims, the Professor concludes by characterizing the American's work as a "miserable drivel, ending in a tissue of arithmetical conundrums that would bu hi-rsed and ridiculed even in bedalm." ANOTHER RAILROAD SOUI'MB. Duluth, Minn. Jun. 34.—The Duluth North Western and Winnipeg Railway Company, with a capital of $35,000,000 was incorporated yesterday.

London, Jan. 24.—Mr. Henry Mat? thews, the home secretary, iu . an address to his constituents this 'evening said there had never been a cabinet mure united than the present one. Tho next session of parliament, he said, would be devoted entirely to business in which Ireland would take a second place. The lor-il government bill, to be introduced at the beginning of the session, would be broad and literal. Mr. John Dillon, in a speech at Cambridge this evening, declared that the coercion policy of the government was an abject failure. Hie only fear was, not that the national spirit would be quenched by coercion, but that the lust chance of knitting the hearts of the of the English and Irish people in the bonds of sympathy would pass without being seized. Lord Dufferin, the ■*,'**■ u*rn<>r-general of India, in reply to tlie tenants on his Irish estates, who asked for a reduction of their renta by 40 per cent, stated thut he leaves thn matter entirely in the haiw*-.- of hi* agent.

Ottawa, Jan. 26.— There is much comment here over the interest the Hon, John Costigan, minister of inland revenue, hns been taking in Ireland's cause against the coercion measures adopted by the British government Yesterday, at a member of the Dominion government, ha cabled his congrat ulations to Win. O'Brien on his liber- , ation from Tullamore jail, to which, it - ib understood, the other metnbars of the cabinet are taking exception.

Pacific and other American lines for re-entry into 'Can* ada,at Windsor, Ont. This announce- ' ment is creating intense excitement throughout Manitoba and the Northwest.

'*«. •«*«• The result of the contest in Victoria has been a genuine surprise to a large number of persons in this city. Peoplo sometimes succeed in persuading themselves thut their own peculiar wishes are a reliable index of coming ovents. A groat many people, therefore, had come to the conclusion that Mr. Duck would be defeated in Victoria, and that the event would mark the beginning of the end. It is no secret that a few hard-headed opponents of the present government have been cherishing the confident belief that a change is not far off. Of these persons tho Guardian is the organ and mouthpiece. A few days ago it stated that there wero fourteen members of tho house ready to vote out tho government at tho very first opportunity. Quite possibly Mr. Williams was counted as one of the fourteen—but chickens are sometimes counted before they have been hatched. Mr. Duck's election was a surprise; but his large majority must have been much more than a surprise. It shows that the government stands firm in the confidence of the people, and that the calculations of the op position have been sadly out of har- ijiony with facts. It has been more than once intimated that the present government is the most corrupt that ever existed. If that statement is founded on fact, the electors who yesterday returned a government supporter in Victoria must themselves be very guilty, for their action is a distinct endorsement of the government policy. The danger to the public administration seems to lie not so much in its weakness as in its strength. A powerful and capable opposition is very important, but the present opposition seems to be singularly wanting both in numbers and ability. We should be glad to see it gain in both. In consequence of the slowness of the mails lately, full particulars of the trial of the Quwdian libel case did not reach this city until yesterday. The only witnesses examined were Mr. P. M. Irving, deputy attorney-general, Mr. M. W. T. Drake, Q.O., and Hon. John Hobson. Many of our readers will remember that the libel arose out of a case which came before the courts at Victoria, in which a brother of one of the members was charged with a serious crime. The deputy attorney- general was crown prosecutor in the case, and it seems that the chief justice gave utterance to some very strong language respecting tho preparation of some papers which he wished to put in as evidence. During the progress of the trinl Hon. Mr. Bobson came to the court house for the purpose of seeing Mr. Irving. The Times stated that the chief justice had very severely censured the crown prosecutor in connection with the papers mentioned, and insinuated that Hon. Mr. Robson's presence at court was for the purpose of influencing the case. For this an action was entered against the Times; but afterwards it published a retraction and apology, and the action was withdrawn. The Gvjairdian made some very severe comments on the case, and when the apology appeared in the Times the Guardian intimated that it was not a bona fide apology, but had been procured by Hon. Mr. Robson so as to save himself from exposure. In evidence it came oat, that the re marks of the chief justice were not directed against Mr. Irving at all, but against the person who had prepared certain papers in connection with the case when it was before the police court; and it also canre out that so far from Hon. Mr. Robson coming to court to exert an improper influence he merely came to consult Mr. Irving on a totally different matter; that he remained only about five minntes, and did not have an opportunity of speaking with Mr. Irving at all; and that Mr. Irving did not know he was there. The Guardian published certain comments on the case as reported in the Times, in whioh very uncomplimentary reflections were made on the provincial secretary, it being intimated tbat he ought to be iu the chaingang. When the Times apology appeared, the Guardian made matters worse by its charge that the apology had been procured by improper means, in his evidence Hon. Mr. Robson stated that it was this lut reference to the case that had led him to put the matter into court, as he and his friends felt that it ought not to be passed over in silence. There were no witnesses called for the Guardian, and the defence eet up was that the articles were fair comments upon the plaintiff in his political character, and that plaintiff had, when publishing k newspaper himself, indulged in similar attacks upon the character of defendant. In his charge to the Jury Mr. Justice Crease said that although in cases of libel the jury had to be judges both of the law and the facta, he would say in his opinion the words used by defendant were undoubtedly libelous, and there wai evidence of a malicious motive whioh prompted it. In view of the evidence there seemed to be no course open to the jury but to find ■ vetdiot for the plaintiff, which was done.

The news of Mr. Duck's victory over Mr. Williams, in Victoria, waa a surprise to most people in this city. The news of the victory was not so surprising aa the majority. The stages between this city and Vanoouver have been doing a splendid business during the laat few dsya. The irregular running of the trains caused this stimulus to tho traffic.

Mr. Henry Norman, who is on a tour round the world as special correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, pasBed through Vancouver a few days ago on his way to Japan and China. Un Monday Mayor Dickinson sent him a teh-grant inviting him to visit thia city before tearing. A reply was received last iiight hi which Mr, Norman expresses res ret at his inability to accept the itn itntion. na he proposes sailing on the Parthia. The mayor forwarded to him a lithographic representation ot Westminster, together with a number of newspaper articles relating to the business and progress of the royal city, from which Mr. Norman may form au intelligent idea of our poail on, resources nnd prospects. Burned toy un Explosion. Fred. Strickland, un employee of the Royal City Planing Mills, had a very narrow iscape from losing his eyesight this morning. He was engaged in melting a lur^e lndlo full of babbit metal and bad brought it to a cherry red beut whon, it is supposed, a drop of water from the floor above fell into the ladle causing un explosion. The molten metal wns blown in every direction and a large quantity struck Strickland across the eyes and forehead, nnd set there. As quick aB lightning he tore the metal from his eyes and thus pro bo My saved his sight, but the portion which a truck un the forehead inflicted a very serious and painful burn the scar from which he will carry fur life, Dr, Cooper applied the necessary salves and dressed the burn, and except for the pain Mr. Strickland iB not much the worse of the accident. The Choral Union Concert. The lirst concert given this Benson by the Choral Union took place last night in Herring's Opera House, Tho night was inclined to be unpleasant, but as a little inclement weather docs not intimidatu Westminster peoplo the opera house was well tilted with one of the moat select audience ever gathered together in the oity. The first part of the programme consisted of Handel's Oratorio, "The Messiah." The solos were BUng by MrB, Sillitoe, Miss Sutherland, Miss DeBeck and Messrs, H.L. DeBeck and IVIIy. The chorines were sung with much power and precision and wero excellently rendered, the voices showing t\mt great care bud been observed i-i the itaining, and the whole reflected credit on the tutorship of the conductur. In the second part, Macfarren'B " May-D»y," Mrs. Sillitoe sang the solo in a meat charming manner, her excellent voice and oxpression doing full juati'-u to the composer's intentions. The (jliorux in this piece was probably the best rendered of the evening, and the wulls of the house fairly rang to the strains of this grand song. His Lordship Bishop Sillitoe conducted the concert, nnd its sttoceaa is groatly due to his individual efforts. Miss Hill, who accompanied the singers on the piano, performed hor arduous task with a grace and precision highly Id be commended, and the playing in itself was indeed a treat. The saine can he said of Mr. Morey, who accompanied on the organ. We understand the Choral Union intend repenting this conceit in Vancouver; if bo, the people of the terminal city have a treat to look forward to. A Great Sufferer.—That person who is afflicted with rheumatism is a great sufferer and greatly to be pitied if they cannot procure Hag- yard's Yellow Oil. This remedy is a certain cure, not only for rheumatism but for all external aches and internal pains. At a meeting of the San Francisco chamber of commerce last week. Charles B. Allen submitted a minority report, in which he hold that the falling off of trade with British Columbia wns not due to the Dominion tariff. He believed the free admission of lumber and coal would not tend to reduce, the cost of those articles, and argued that the relief should come from the development of Calif irniuiimineBaiid timber interests. The removal of tho tariff would retard these industries nnd prevent the rapid settlement of the Northwest Territory. A communication was received from several individuals and firms protesting against any reciprocity troaty with Canada at the presont time, as inopportune and unwise, as under this treaty the balance of trade would be vory largely in favor of British Columbia. The prices of neither lumber nor ooal would in the long run be affected by auch a treaty. In the belief of the signers of the communication, such a treaty would transfer to British Columbia a large part of tho immense lumbering interests now established on Puget Sound, Gray'a Harbor nnd tho Columbia River. Again, with cheap English iron tnd low- priced labor, manufactories would spring up in British Columbia, and machinery of all kinds would be purchased for Oregon nnd Washington Territory at leaat., in that country instead of in San Francisco. The communication was signed by alarge number of prominent mercantile houses and many business men. Personal. W. H. Redmond has gone over to Vancouver.

Wellington, Jan. 25.—At 9 o'olock to-night, after the change of the shift, 18 white men and 22 Chinese have beeh taken out of the pit, while 7 more bodies have been taken to the bottom cf the shaft. There are yet 13 white men and 19 Chinese in the mine, James Morrison was omitted iu Inst report, making the total of white nights men who perished in the oust level 31, and of Chinese 41. The following are the names of the white men taken out: Robert Williams, K. Greenwell, Alexander Rose, D. McDonald, John Stuart, John Ness, John Marshall, John Wall, nil unmarried; John Jones has a wife aud two children; John Balngna, a wife; Wm, Harn, a wife; Jacob Klenn, a wife; Wm. \Vilkes,awifeandfourohild- ren; Frank McCoy, is mnri-'d. Veleria and two Belgians complete the number. The only present survivor from the east slope is a Chinaman, who is burned and injured almost beyond recovery. The bodies of the white miners are being washed and prepared for burial. Those belonging to the Masonic, Odd Fellows, and other societies, have been taken charge of by their brethern, while sevoral others have been taken to their late homes. Some of the funerals will take place tomorrow. All the collieries of the Vancouver Coal Company and the Wellington collieries have beeu closed. Since the accident the Railway Company have been running trains night and day between Nanaimo nnd Wellington for the conveyance of volunteers to and from the various shifts. RECOVERING THE ROIHES. WeLlinoton, Jan. 25.—The exploring party worked all Tuesday night and penetrated into the east slope and located the bodies of a numbor of whites and Chinese. It was not until about two o'clock this afternoon that the work of bringing the bodies to the surface was begun, aud in a little over an hour's time the bodies of 7 while men and 8 Chinese had been raised to the surface. The bodies were ull mangled aud blackened beyond recognition, and the only means of knowing the Unfortunate victim's names were the stalls and points at which, they wero found. The bodies were carefully wrapped in blankets and tied so as to screen them from head to foot, and as one reached the surface it was placod on a stretcher and two men carried this to sleighs in waiting, which conveyed them to where they were laid out for reclamation or for burial. Every possible assistance was rendered by Mr. Dunsmuir, who was present on the ground, iu order thnt the work of recovery might be hastened, while his officials did all tha. -is in their power to assist. There were not more than than 100 mon and no women around the shaft during the afternoon, and the melancholy task proceeded with regularity and quiet. The dispatch sent at midnight on Tuesday with respect to the number in the mine is about correct. Every individual in the east slope where the explosion occurred was killed, even Robert Williams, the engineer at the top of the slope, about 50 yards from the foot of the shaft. The explosion did not penetrate into the weBt slope, further than to make a severe concussion which affected somo severely, but the after- dump rushed in. However, by the presence of inind exhibited immediately in repairing the fan, the air current was restored and many lives were saved. This is attested by the recovery of a large number who were prostrated by the afterdamp, but who subsequently recovered consciousness and came to the foot of the shaft. The inquest will be held by Dr. Walkem. Great praise is due to Mr. John Bry- den.the manager, and his efficient staff. Mr. Robins, the auperinteudant of the Vancouver Coal company, kindly assisted by sending an effective staff to assist the rescuing party. The admirable arrangements at the shaft could not fail to be noticed, for they are carried out like cloc'i work. There was no excitement, and each man attended to bis worn, hiding, for the time being, his Borrow. The Hon. Mr Dunsmuir arrived at noon on Tuesday, aud was present at the shaft counselling and encouraging all to hope for the best. He was on duty till 5 this morning, nnd again oarly in the day after a few hours rest. He will remain on duty all to-night, llosays he is proud of the noble men that are in his employ. They have proved themselves good and truo iu the hour of need. The resistless force nf the explosion is,proved by the manner in which the eight inch pipes wore snapped in Iwo. Heavy timbers were reduced to splinters, while one of the iron cu»es was blown completely out of the shaft. A Belgian miner wns stripped of every vestige of clothing, while the mutilation of the bodies proves that the terrible force played with iho bodies as though they were feathcis. Mr. K, C. Winlow, Toronto, writes: "Northrop and Lyman's Vegetable Discovery is a valuable medicine to all wlu. are troubled with indigestion. I tried a bottle of it after suffering for eome ten years, and the results are certainly beyond my expectations. It assists digestion wonderfully. I digest my food with no apparent effort, and am now entirely free from that sensation, which every dyspeptic well knowa,of unplensaut fullness utter each meal. TO LET.
