Though General Lord 'Roberts has closed, up the Boor wari another campaign is opening before him. in the reform of the War Office, in London. In spite of Lord Roberts great' ability there are those' who say, that, the chances are that he wouldi not have made much moio headway against the red. tape of the War Office than did ,. Lord Wolseley if he had become commander-in-chief five years ago. The gallant Wolseley was put in! with great popular hope that he would stir up things, and he went at it bravely. He was going to turn out, of their comfortable berths a lot of officials whose only qualification was a society pull ; he was going to put' in the empty places men who really knew something about the needs of the army, and had sufficient) energy to accomplish something ; he was going to cut ofi a lot of heads that had no, brains in them, leave the useless places empty and save that much money for the government; he> was going to reduce the power of the civilian and of the War Office up in Pali Mall, and was going to see to it th'at the army end of the concern, down at the Horse Guards, had something to say about purely military affairs. And thereby Lord Wolseley merely got himself disliked. The Secretary of State for War, the Marquis of Lans- downe, knew far better what was suitable and becoming in a fashionable de- pal iineiit than Lord Wolseley did. The Marquis had been an "Under Secretary in the department long before he became its head. His wife, a daughter of, the Duke of Abercorn-,. was one of the' most exclusive hostesses in London society. His father and his grand- father had been of [personal service to the Queen. His friends and his wife's friends were all interested in .the social success of the department, and to have some of the bluest blood in the. place spilledi by an ambitious fighting man whose father was a mere Major, and .whose wife was simply thef daughter of Mr. A. Erskine, *wag[ not "conven- ���������a'ble," ."comma il' faut" or "de rigu- eur." ��������������������������� l : So Lord Wolseley's career as a reformer came to a sudden end. His suggestions were not approved, and without the War Minister's approval he found he could :do precious little, even' in matters that pertained: exclusively to the army and not at all to the civilian end of the War Department. Public opinion was not much concerned with the army, and it appeared that there was no good making a row. So little by little the commander-in-chief settled down to his routine; red tape bound itself about him and,he proceeded to rnako the best of a bad situation, like the wise old General he is. , ' . It seemed as good as settled that after ilio Boer war had been rapidly disposed of by General Buller, the Duke of Connaught the Queen's youngest sou would be made commander-in- chief. But the Boer, war was not rapidly disposed of but instead developed unexpected complications. A Cabinet war council suddenly met and appointed Lord Roberts to supersede MOUNTAINS OF SALT. where Wolseley failed ? The question j is of international interest, for it af- i ������������������ fects the whole standing oil the Brit- j A s"w ������������<i������"\������ Which ish army. The real incarnation of red, tape in the War Office is said to be Sir Ralph j H. Knox who has never seen active service, but who has spent his whole life iu the routine work! of the War Office. 'He entered the department forty-four-years' ago, at the age' of twenty as a junior clerk. Ho rose through every grade of the service and before being appointed to his present position of permanent Under Secretary of State for War,1 with a salary of������2,- 000, was for fifteen years Accountanl- Genoral, .where he wielded a great influence. SHo is said to have all the af- | fairs of this great department* well j hi hand, but that with him the internal I arrangement 'of the office bulks more than ihose things which go for efficiency in the field. Lord Roberts task will bu to transform this great .social and red tape institution into the head of a thoroughly efficient and perfectly equipped Army. The task is a tremendous one, but Lord Boberts is not a man to be dismayed, and with public opinion.' thoroughly aroused, he will undoubtedly succeed. Simultaneous with this change in system.' there will be going on a change in environment, for ground has been broken for a handsome new building for the War Office to replace the old Horse Guards, so long a land mark of London. The new, building while, perhaps, not as striking as the old will be a noble structure and much1 more roomy, better, lighted, heated and ventilated; in a word more commodious, healthful and comfortable than the Horse Guards.

CAUSE OF THE TYPHOID. How l*r. Rrycr. llic I'rovlnr.iiil'IIrnltn.'OI' fleer, Accounts for so .1Iiiclij|of cite Itls- CJl.SC. 'Speaking of the high death rate from typhoid fever in the province, during the month of October, Dr. Bryc.e, the Provincial Health Officer, says there, can be no doubt but.that the unusual Tengtli of time during which mild weather continued this autumn, there not being- any frosts practically up to the end of October,; has played an important part in extending , the period during which typhoid fever from polluted wells tend to spread. From all over the country water samples have been sent to an unusual number, to the provincial laboratory for analysis. In almost every instance the samples have been well waters, and in very few instances .have no direct evidences of polution by waste matters been proven. Speaking gen-, erally it may be said' that in 110 towns, cities and villages in Ontario where public water supplies exist, typhoid fever cases are almost invariably traced to parts of the places where the wells have not been closed, while of course all water; supplied in rural districts is from wells. . Until people have learned to prevent the pollution of soil around and in the neighborhood. of wells with excretive matters from housos.stablcs, factories, etc., says Dr. Brycc, the present state of things will continue when conditions of temperature are favorable. hood o������ Geelong. along the Bay of Stingareo, in Queensland; Australia. The site was, until recpntlj, a barren waste of swamp and samphire scrub, and thought good for nothing whatever. Tho present proprietors, however, have converted it into a place of interest, employing a large number of men, and turning,out a valuable commodity, with the sea water as their raw material. .The wtarks, or salt gardens, present tho appearance of a chess board of shallow 'tanks. 'About 300 acres are cut up in this way by miles of walls the tanks, or " paddocks," condensers and crystallizers vary from one to fifty acres in size, and there are about 100 bf them. The whole area under usc| is cut off from, the sea by a large wall, containing sluice gates, to admit the sea water as required. The dividing walls keep the water uniformly spread oyer tho ground, presenting all tho surface possible to tho evaporating action of the sun and wind. The rainfall is an important item; the average is the lowest at the sitei chosen of any point on the whole coast. iWhen the waLer enters through the sluice gates it is held in the largest paddocks until the evaporation raises its density considerably. It is then, by smaller sluices, run into, or pumped up on to higher levels, CALLED CONDENSERS. Here it remains until the evaporation raises tho density to that of brine, and by this time it has lost many impurities, such as lime, which, as the water gets denser, are deposited. Then the manager knows., by testing, with, a hydrometer that the brine is ready for the crystallizers, and) it is pumped up into them. By regular Jpuinping the brine is let into and kept in the crystallizers, which have already had their bottoms levelled at a uniform, depth, and as' the evaporation goes on the water" be- eoimss'-tod dense to hold the salt, and pure slate; and when this point ia reached the remaining water is drained off. This residue Ls called mother- liquor, and contains magnesium, sulphates, chlorides, potassium, etc. Those impurities would be deposited on top of the salt and make it impure if the mother-liquor were not drained off at the right time. Thus pure salt only, is obtained. The sail is then harvested by shovelling it up into cocks, which give the crystallizers the appearance of a military camp. When the salt has drain- ell in the cocks it is harrowed out into sacks of several hundreds of tons: each. The stacks are then thatched, to prevent tho rain from dissolving, them. The company has also a refinery, at which tho salt is dissolved ia water, and again evaporated in iron.' pans by artificial heat. In this way a beautiful white and superior salt isi obtained. A grindery has also been erected to dry and crush the crude crystals ; it is here that tho fine table salt is made. Just' as it is, ate bay salt, it is used largely for packing meat for export and preserving meat and rabbits, sheep, cattle; for glazing bricks and pottery and other purposes. IN THIS QUEEN'S REALM.

German military correspondents speak very, highly of a new, ration which has been;.-tried during the recent maneuvers of tho Austrian ,toops in Galioia Owing (o the nature of the country and the extensive- area covered .during the exercises, it became necessary to provide the troops with some portable food which could be prepared in a very short time or even eaten without preparation. Various forms of nutriment were tried, but the one which gained most favor was a so-called "chocolate ration." This was invented by a doctor, and consists of ordinary chocolate .with an admixture of albumen and certain fatty matter, hi a few minutes this can be cooked either in milk or water and' eaten as it is. The nourishing value of the preparation is very great,'100 giaiamcs affording as much sustaining value as nearlyiialf a kilogramme or five times the amount of bocf. Moreover, the chocolate keeps remarkably well, and is affected neither by - heat nor by long storage in damp and badly-ventilated magazines. A PROPHETIC SERMON.

Though the Silver-Lead Mines Association do not give the publicall their business secrets, enough is known of the proceedings at Kelson last week, to Bhow they are veiv anxious to secure better markets for their ores. The Smelter combine on the other side are not disposed to pay what the ores am worth, so another market is not only deisirable but highly necessary. Nov, supposing they would urge the present Federal government to do for them what the late Conservative government did m ��������� 1871), for the producers of eastern Canada. At that time Canada was importing the great bulk of all its required manufactures from the United States, and producing but little. No v, however, our agricultural implement makers, our wooden ware producers, <&c, are exporting to Australia, South America, and even to England and the United States. In the late election, the Liberal party boasted of our great volume of exports��������� nearly all the result of Sir John Mac- donald's protective duties. The United States are not alone the only country that requires our silver and lead and their products. Many other countries are willing to pay high figures for them, and besides our own local markets are growing. Then why not set to work and encourage by proper duties, manufacturing our metals instead of selling them abroad in a raw state? Why not niaim- facturet hem for export, under proper protection, employ our own people in the work at our own1 door-steps? The idea is a feasible one, and should be acted on not only by the mine owners but by all others who desire to see the country grow and prosper. cipal ticket, .would show how the money can be got on any reasonable terms to make the purchase. The Review endorses the buying idea, it the money to buy can be brought in sight on any equitable terms. Can any one show where the means to make the purchase can be got? The Review' has before how suggested the propriety of purchasing the water and electric light systems of the place, ,if they can be purchased at a proper ' figure, and the money for their purchase can be got on advantageous terms. , The ' place requires.with good fire companies, plentiful water and light supply ,to secure reasonable insurance rates .and ample street lighting, and if these can better be got by. purchase than by rate payment, then the purchase should be made. However, the price asked and the question offinancing -a chief factor in the consideration., We believe too school -matters should secure some of the attention of the incoming' council. The government is paying now about $120 a month for salaries, and some $75 to $100 a year for incidentals; but this is not enough. Nothing is more necessary to keep families' in. the place and bring others here, who ought to be here, than a good school, and it must be .apparent to every one, two good teachers cannot be retained here for a total of $120 a month. The amount should be at least $400 a year more,' and this should be paid bv the city. The Labor party says "Buy out the railways, the telegraphs and all such utilities and give them to the people." The idea is a good one, if it can be carried out on any equitable basis; but it takes two to make a bargain in this country���������one to oiler for sale and the other to raise the money to buy.

To the Editor of Tub Mining Review: Deab Sik,���������In view of the fact that I expect to leave Sandon in a short time and my work as Principal of the public school, there are a few things I should like to say, through your columns, to the people of Sandon���������at least to those who are interested in school matters. I wish to do so in my own defense as well as in the interests of my pupils. Various complaints have been made against me by different individuals, and some one-sided reports circulated, and it is only fair to myself and to my friends that 1 should be allowed to say a word. I regret that I have failed to commend myself to the good judgement of some of the parents, for I desire to have the good opinion of everyone as far as possible. That I have made mistakes I am leady to ��������� acknowledge; still I think I can honestlv say that I have always had, and still have, at heart the walfare of my pupils here, and that I have tried my best in every way to promote their interests. It has been my aim', fiom the first, to make the Sandon public school one of the best in the province, and I think everyone will bear me out when I say that there have been many difficulties in the way from the first for both teachers and pupils to face. I think I have had a full share of difficulties in shape ol loss by slides, by fire and by lost time, as well as fiom otlier sources, though I.am thankful for the preservation of health and life and limb. Some parents have complained that their children have not made good progress under my teaching; Well, in the first place, this may not be true. And, in the second place, if it is true, it may also be true that the fault does not wholly lie with the teacher. ' But whatever the facts may bs, I know this, that a number of my former pupils have been very successful in the public and high schools of other parts of this province and of the Northwest, I may say, in passing, that no one would be .more pleased than I to have some of my Sandon pupils do likewise. With regard to the high school entrance examination held last summer, I wish to say that it was a.very difficult oneJ This will be evident when I state that out>'of 374 candidates thioughout the province only 113 (less than one- third) succeeded. Of GO candidates in schools outside the cities, only 5 passed. Our central examination for this district was held at Three Forks, the Sandon school having been burned. In order to pass, pupils required to take G0C per cent, of the total maiks in all subjects. One candidate took 63 per cent. One of my pupils took 59 per cent, and another 48. Now, when one considers that we lost all all our books, maps and apparatus by the fire and nearly a month of our time, I think that my pupils maae a very good showing indeed, and I do not feel at all discouraged at the complaints against my ability as a teacher.

I wish to say that I caii recall only a single instance in which 1 have left myself open to the charge, and I am confident that anyone, who will take the trouble to investigate the matter, will approve of my action therein. At the same time, I legret that it has- ever been necessary to resort to extreme measures. Hut I "believe there are fen sensible people who will suppose for a moment that a public school can be carried on without proper discipline. I am sure, too, there must be discipline exercised in a family as well as in a school, if things are as they ought to be. I wish to go a step farther and say that parents who encourage their children to disregard their teachers' authority and to act disrespectfully towards them are guilty of doing "their children a great wrong. Those who really desire thebest interests of their children will rather uphold the teacher and seek to co-operate with him or with Iki-. To have a good and efficient school it is necessary thai parents, teachers, trustees and children co-operate instead of being continually at loggerheads with each oilier. I wisii to say here that, if in any instance, it can be proved that I havi acted unjustly to any pupil or have given unnecessary oll'ense to any parent, I am ready to oiler an apology to thai pupil or to that parent. Rut if this car not be shown, then I apologize to no one, however much I may be threat ened.; There is just one more item I wish tc speak of, viz: 1 have been' told that 1 have injured myself in Sandon by tiik iirg an active part in matters relating tc public morals and good laws. I am ven sorry if I have antagonized anyone, bu I believe it to be the duty and privileut of everyone to uphold his country's laws and the moral and social interests of tin community in which he lives. I belitne it,to be our duty and privilege as Britiil citizens and Christian people to honor the relieion and laws which have done so much to make this Canada ol our the free and noble land she is. . And it is hard for me to believe, that, in trying to act as I believe a good citizen should act, I have injured myself in the opinion of the good people of Sandon. In fact. Ido not believe it.

"About the most thorough and popular teacher we have ever had hero," i.s the opinion expressed by the people of Canaan, N.3., of their pres- enl young lady school teacher, Miss Nellie Ciuten. Miss Cutter* is possessed of keen intelligence and engaging manners, and has been peculiarly successful in her chosen profession. At present she looks tho picture of .health, and one observing her good color and buoyant spirits, would never think of associating her with sickness, li was, however, only last autumn that, she was almost hopeless of continuing in her work on account of iie-r ill-health, and 'her condition' was a source of alarmi to her -friends, '���������yes,'' she said to an Acadiam reporter who called uponl her recently to learn the particulars/ of her case, "I suppose it is' a duty I awe. to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, luul i should make public the wonders, they worked for me, but perhaps 1 would not have thought c������ Lt if you had not called." "You see, in addition to my leaching, lhad been studying very hard over my 'B' work, and then 1 was attacked with whooping cough, which did noi leave me. [for a long1 liimo. and so'I became pretty well run down. I was always considered the einDodi- ment of health at home, but last, autumn I was really alarmed over iny condition. Sometimes in the schoolroom 1 would be seized with dizziness, and often I would faint away. I would take vomiting turns, also, and had a feeling ������������������.of. nausea and languor all the time. I lost my color and became thin and pale, and it'seemed as if my blood had turned, to .water. "This condition of things was so .different from anything which I had previously experienced that I sought medical advice at' once, t was informed that I was suffering from anaemia, and I at once put myself under medical treatment. But although I tried several bottles of prescriptions, my condition seemed to bo getting worse all the time. When I- went home for my Christmas vacation, I was almost in despair. It was while I was at home, however, that my friends advised me to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Acting up-, on their advice, I took up their use. The, first box made its.effect felt, but I used four or five and then the cure ���������was complete. Ever since then my health-has been excellent and I have felt my real old time self, and am able to attend to my duties, which are by no means light, without the iatigue and languor that, made the work irksome. You may depend up- ���������on it I will always have' a friendly ���������word to say for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." If your dealer does not keep these pills in stock, they will bo sent post paid at 5U cents a box or six boxes for ������2.50, by addressing.the Dr. Williams Medicine Oo., Brockville, Oat.

Pompeii is believed to have had rather more than 20,000 inhabitants. Tho city stood on an elevation overlooking the sea, the whole of tho Bay of Naples being in view, while in Ihe backgroung loomed grim Vesuvius, t ho destined destroyer, close by flowed the River Sarno. which was crossed by a bridge. The volcano was supposed to be extinct and its sides were cultivated all the way up to the summit Grapes were largely grown and wine making was an important industry in the neighborhood which likewise produced cabbages famous for their excellence. It was the city of the clan of tho Pompeys, founded by the Oseans, an ancient Italian tribe in the sixth century B. C. or earlier, afterwards conquered by the Sammies, a rival tribe and eventually absorbed by mighty Rome. The culture of I he people was very Greek ; they worshipped various Greek gods and used the Greek names for their weights and measures. Being so beautifully situated and having a delightful climate Pompoii, was a favorite resort of wealthy Romans many of whom had villas there. Cicero had a handsome "cottage," as it would nowi be called, and tho Imperial family maintained a palace close by. Tho villas were mostly on the high ground, back of the town toward Vesuvius and facing the sea. Small earthquakes were- frequent, but not much was thought of Ihem. On' the 5th day of February, in the year 03 A.D., there came A TREMENDOUS SHOCK. which! was a warning of what was to follow. It threw down a largo part of. the city, including the beautiful temples of Jupiter, Apollo and Isis, but most1 of the damage was repaired by the time of the great catastrophe. The eruption which was destined to be so memorable began early in the morning of Feb. 21, 79 A.D. Spectators looking from a great distance/saw; a mighty cloud spread and overhang the city like a vast and amino us umbrella. There was still plenty of time to get away in safety, and doubtless a majority of the. people did escape, before the impending volcanic storm began. Judging from the number of skeletons thus far discovered, it seems probable that not more than about 2,000 persons actually ' perished. However, a great many who attempted to leave in boats may have lost their lives. - Admiral Pliny, with a fleet, was not far- away, and letters brought,by mounted couriers reached him as early as 1 p.m. that day begging him to come as quickly as possible with his ships and help to rescue, the people. He sat sail immediately, and, arriving, within sight of Vesuvius at nightfall, ran into the rain of pumice that was then falling. It was impossible to make a landing at Pompeii, and so he disembarked . at Stabiao, where it was HAILING CINDERS at such a rnte that during the night he was obliged to leave the room in which ho slept for fear lest the door might be blocked up. On the following morning he died, being suffocated by volcanic fumes. Early, in the afternoon of February j 2-1 the hail of pumice began to fall upon doomed Pompeii, tho pieces averaging about the siza of a walnut, together with torrents of rain, lt must then have ^een almost loo late for anybody who remained in the city to get away. Repeated shocks of earthquake contributed to the horror of the scene, incidentally demolishing tho bridge over tho Sarno and so shutting off escape in that direction. Meanwhile, rivers .of pumice mixed with water flowed down the slope of Vesuvius on the other side and overwhelmed the neighboring Hercul- aneum. The pumice fell in Pompeii until the' streets of the city were covered eight to ten feel deep wilh it. Its weighl broke in the roofs-of 'many of the houses and the destruction of lives .must already have been frightful. Nevertheless many of the people still survived, seeking refuge in cellars and other places of retreat. They must have imagined that there was still hope when early in the morning of the next day, Feb. 25. there came a great shock and ashes began falling in a continuous shower with the rain. Though day had arrived il grew darker than ever, if possible, a cloud of FRIGHTFUL BLACKNESS ! settling down over Ihe land, while '' Ihe lightning and thunder were ap- ��������� palling. Shock followed shock and ! the survivors must at last have concluded thai their last hour was at , hand. Such was in truth the case ' Tho. storm of ashes lasted nearly all day long. They drifted in through the windows of the houses and suffocated all who remained alive. They covered the city with a sheet of death six to seven feel thick. Thus was completed the destruction of Pompeii. If"the estimate of fatalities above quoted be fairly correct the loss of life was not more than onc-l'hird as great as during there- cent hurricane at Galveston whose i terrors may be said to have fairly.; equalled those of this ancient catas- j trophe. though so different in kind, ; When it was all over, tho roofs of i many o'f the'houses still emerged; above ithe- volcanic debris, which'had j i overwhelmed the city. Herc.ulaneum | however had wholly disappeared uii-i der the streams of mud, sixty-five feet' deep in spots, which had flowed over | it. This' mud being a sort of natural j concrete, soon hardened Into'stone, j which is to-day of such solidity as to ! make excavation work extremely dif-i ficult. ..'���������>���������'��������� ' ���������'���������' - "i H ' BOER EYE SIGHT. VfliyJi Is Siiiti-i-loi- (.��������� Jluii ������r llii: ICi-lllsh MililN-r. Sir Redvers Buller's statement thai (he ordinary Boer could see a man coming towards him two miles before the man could see the Boer- excites neither surprise nor scepticism among the eye specialists. "Really," says a high authority, "if you apply your common sense, to Ihe matter you will .see It must he so. The Boer is, comparatively speaking, a barbarian. At least, he has few indoor occupations and does little read- ' ing. For generations he has been training himself to see long distances, for -hia livelihood depends on sighting liis catlle or on tracking-down game. Mr. Atkins will never possess such fine vision until his eondilonsi of lifo ���������approximate to those of the Boer. Like all civilized peoples, his vis.ion lis confined to a limited range. Even at the butts ho is not called upon for any very special effort of long- sight, anil ho ia not there very often." The f jut. was mentioned that several officers had come homo from the war wilh greatly improved eyesight, S������me, who had worn glasses, now found their sight quite cured, and attributed the fact to the effect of the tine clear air of tho veldt. "A clear atmosphere," said the authority, "would be an important factor in sighting tho enemy, of course; but the real truth is that these officers have benefitted by their experience in South Africa. It is all a question of the ciliary muscle. Here is Lho ciliary muscle on this diagram, attached t.o the choroid coal of the eyeball.

The plea of a child for more, animal stories has induced Rudyard Kipling ��������� to add to his series of funny "Just: so "tales yvhich'have appeared in The ��������� Ladies' Home Journal. After tho fain-; ous author had published the last of t that series there was a flood of let-! ters came to the Journal asking for : more. One among these was address-! ed to Mr. Kipling personally, and was j forwarded to him in England.'.It prov-j ed to be a Tetter from a child who j pleaded with the author to " give us j some more stories about animals; wo' enjoyed your others very much. There j is not much written that we little i folks can on joy, so -please, dear Mr. Kipling, write something about my I pussy." The earnestness and siucer-i ity of the child appealed very strong- fco Mr. Kipling, who is exceedingly fond of little folks, and he writes to the Journal saying that he is going to grant that child's request even if he has to disappoint all his other friends.

'(��������� A writer in the Ladies',,Homo Journal, telling how to ' organize book clubs in small communities, says that one successful club, was started, in a small country town of from 1,000 to 1,500 inhabitants, in which there was no public library of any kind. Its charter members numbered 17. Each member, except one, who was chosen secretary and gave service instead of money, paid' into the general treasury five dollars a year.,.

The London Missionary Society have received an offer of ������10,000 from Mr..Robert Arthington, of Leeds, for tho purpose of commencing missionary work among'the Awemba tribes, to the south-west of Lake Tanganyika. An American crossed tho Channel l by the steamer Alma, and left a let field of ice in the Arctic Sea; which is heavier and thicker than any which the Yermak has yet attacked. //The original bow was easily , capable of ,dealinig with any.of the enormous ice fields which 'Russia produces. She went to a high latitude on an experimental trip last summer and accomplished all that, could be expected of her in her assault, upon tho external ice which she then encountered. The alterations.now being made were suggested by this experience. Admiral Makaroff, who is superintending the changes, has the greatest confidence that the ship mil cut her way witvhout delay straight to. the pole and will return safely in the same season. Eivery precaution has been taken to fit,- her out for a long stay In case of accident or blockade. Admiral Makarott uas refused to give out details of the plans.or'even to admit that the expedition will be undertaken, but there is no doubt on this point. No information is -yet available as- to the route to ,'be taken or how the ��������� coal problem will be solved. : There will be supplies atone or two points in Arctic Russia' and probably a collier will carry- an additional supply, as far as the ice will permit.

The first part of his report, which came, out- in 1898, cited 152 cases. The second furnishes many more, some of them having been,conducted under Prof. Barrett's own supervision. A third installment is promised and will1'deal largely with tho hunt for metals with the divining rod. In describing the operation , of ."dowsing," as this use of the forked witch' hazel ,twig is locally calicd in England, Prof. Barrett says that the operator usually holds the Y by the prongs, so that"the stem projects in front of him and inclines upward slightly. When the dowser passes a' spot where water is supposed to exist the twig rises to a vertical position,' striking him on. the breast. . The dowser himself often appears exhausted by jbis effort, even com-' plaining of sickness or giddiness and breaking into perspiration. These are so marked in instances that he discards the twig altogether and is guided by his sensations: alone. DURING THE. OPERATION t|he dowser fixes, his attention oh the tip.o-f the twig and becomes oblivious to the world.around him. Eminent people as well as those who are not conspicuous in public life in England employ dowsers. Prof. -Barrett includes,Lords Salisbury and Lansdowne among their patrons. There are scores of professional dowsers in the United, Kingdom, to say nothing of Continental Europe, the' United States and Canada. Amateurs also practise the art. In his. first report Prof. Barrett'pronounced I fairly successful 140 of the 150 attempts recorded. Rejecting the experiments of amateurs, he gets ninety-five successful results out of 105 cases. In the second report he finds: the proportion about the same, but he admits that dowsers, may not reimport their failures so fully and frankly, as their hits. Still he does not estimate the failures at more than ' 10 to 15 per cent, of the-attempts. Two sets of experiments have been r tried . with a view to ascertain the genuineness of the phenomenon; In : one a second or third operator was taken over the same ground as. the first, and the results of their divination were identical and successful. Some of the leading spirits in the Society for Psychical Reshcrch hold that when the ordinary senses are lulled to inactivity by sleep, natural or hypnotic, a few persons of a peculiar organization exhibit a power of perception and a susceptibility to influence which is unlike that experienced by other people or by the .same people under other circumstances. Prof. Barrett regards this possession of a "supernormal" faculty the most satisfactory, theory regarding tho discovery of water with a witch hazel, twig. Ho thinks that the successful operator is self-hypnotized by fix- j ingi his attention on the twig. He j says; "This subconscious perceptive power, commonly called 'clairvoyance,' may provisionally be taken as the explanation of those successes, of the dowser which are inexplicable on any grounds at present known to science." I ni THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, December 22, 1900. The Mayoralty. _ Our neighbor is trotting out a new ticket for Mayor and aldermen. Any one qualified, who desires office, is at perfect liberty to make the run ; but in the interest of the place, the aim of candidates for such offices -should be higher than turning employees out of office merely because there are others who want .the salaries. Mr. Doolan when chief of police made an efficient officer, and most people think he should have kept the post when he had it. This city cannot afford to pay salaries to either Mayor or aldermen ; and the people should not elect, to office men who would require salaries when elected. If any of our confrere's ticket has a- new policy for city government, he should announce it, that the electors may give it full and fair consideration before polling day. It should, however, as we have said, be more than turning present incumbents out of office 10 make room for personal friends. EByeif&Co.
