Captive balloons have hitherto been of little value for scientific or military purpos- es, because a moderate wind depresses them from the vertical, and causes them to rotate and jerk. Experiments have of late been made at Tunhridge \Vells, in England, which show that these dilliculties may be overcome by a. kite fastened to the balloon’s side. The kite counteracts the depression caused by the Wind, and the kite’s tail pre- vents oscillations, jerks and rotary motion. The prediction is confidently made by high authorities on lighthouse illumination that the electric light will eventually be- come the chief illuminating light in light- houses. Not only is it superior to gas and oil in clear weather, but it surpasses either in its power to penetrate fog. The Tins electric light at Spezia. has been seen a dis- tance of seventy-three miles on a fair, moon- light night. Paper, rendered as tough as wood or lea- ther, has been introduced abroad for roofing and other purposes. The method consists in mixing chloride of zinc with the pulp, in the process of manufacture, it being also found that the greater the degree of con- centration of the zinc solution the greater is the degree of toughness, and consequently, of durability, characterising the paper. The material is likewise adapted for making boxes, combs, etc. An investigation as to the height of sum- mer clouds, made‘in Sweden, under the aus- ices of the Royal Scientific Society of Epsom, shows that clouds occur most fre‘ quently at heights of twenty-three hundred and fifty-five hundred feet. In the summer of 1884 and 1885, the loftiest cloud observed at Upsala. was forty-one thousand feet above the earth’s surface, or nearly eight miles. SIIOU PING THROUGH SPACE at the rate of a. mile a. minute can be under- stood. The twin did not stop at Chatsworth and sped by the small station at lightning speed. Three miles east of Chatsworth is a little slough where the Nilroad crosses a. dry run about ten feet deep and fifteen feet Wide. Over this was stretched an ordinary wooden tre~tle bridge, and as the excursion train came thundering down on it what was the horror of the engineer on the front en- ine when he saw that the bridge was en tire. Right up before his eyes leaped the bright flames, and the next instant he was among them. There was no chance to stop. Had there been warning it would have taken hulfa. mile to stop that on-rushing mass of wood, iron and human lives, and the train was within one hundred yards of the redetongned messenger of death before they flashed their fetal signals into the engineer's face. But he passed over in safety, the first engine keeping the rails. As it went over the bridge fell beneath it, and it could only have been the terrific speed of the train which saved the liVes of the engineer and his fireman. But the second engine went down, and instantly the deed of death was done, car crashed into car, coaches piled one on top of another, and in the twinkling off an eye nearly 100 people FOUND AS INSTANT DEATH, and 5’) more were so hurt they could not live. As for the wounded, they were every- where. Only the sleeping coaches escaped, and as the startled and half-dressed passen- gers came tumbling out of them they found such a scene of death as is rarely witnessed and such work to do lhat it seemed as if human hands were utterly incapable. There was one incident of the accident which stood out more horrible than all of these horrible scenes. In the second coach was a man, his wife and a little child. \Vhen the accident occurred the entire family of three was caught and held down by the broken woodwork.’ Finally when relief came the man turned feebly and said: “ Take out my wife first; I’m afraid the child is dead.” So they carried out the mother and as a broken seat was taken off her crushed breast the blood which welled from her lips told how badly she was hurt. They carried the child. a fair-haired, blue- eyed girl of 3, and laid her in the corn field dead alongside of her dying mother. Then they went back for the father and brought him out. Both his legs were broken but he crawled through the corn to the side of his wife, and, feeling her loved features in the darkness pressed some brandy to her lips and asked her how she felt. A feeble groan was the only answer and the next in- stant she died. The man felt the form of his dead wife and child and cried cut, “ My God, there is nothing more for me to live for now,” and taking a. pistol cut of his pocket, pulled the trigger. The bullet went surely through his brain, and the three dead bodies of that little family are now lying side by side in Chatsworth waiting to be identified. Manufacturers and architects have had their attention called to a. fireproof paper or board made of a. composition containing 60 per cent. vegetable fibre, 20 per cent. ashes, 10 per cent. plumbngo, lamp black or Venetian red. It is mixed in a pulp engine and run through an ordinary paper machine into boards, and is found to have teat fire-resisting properties.

It was carrying 960 passen- ers, all excursionista, and was bound for Yiagama Falls. The twin had been made up all along the line of the Toledo, Peoria. & \Vestern road, and the excursionists hailed from various points in Central Illinois, the bulk of them, however, coming from Peoria. Some of the pissengers came from Canton, El Page. \Vamhington, and in fact all stations along the line, some from as far west as Burlington and Keokuk, Iowa. \Vhen the train passed Forest it was an hour and a. half behind time.

In addition to these there are several hundred Russian ladies studying at non-Russian universities, principally in Switzerland and in Paris. The majority study medicine. Ladies in Russian Universities. Nowhere in Europe have so many ladies crowded into the university lecture-rooms as in Russia. This the statistics prove. In 1886, there were 779 Women students at the Russian universities. Of these, 243 were in the philosophical department; 5C0 in the ph_ysicomathemntica1 department; 36 stud- Two hard stones do not grind small. Who wants to steal potatoes must not for- get the sack.

A new gunboat, built for the Russian Government at Copenhagen, has arrived at Cronstadt and has been visited and inspect- ed by the Czar himself, who crossed over in his yacht from Peterhofi', the present domi- cile of the imperial family. The vessel, which has been named the Manchuria, has been constructed of steel, at a cost of £55, 000. The following are the principal dimen- sions 2 _Length. ‘210feet ; beam, 35 feet ; displacement, 1,200 tons ; draught, fore, without artillery and war material, 10 feet 2 inches: aft, 10 feet 7 inches. The boat has two engines, with an indicated power of 1,000 horse power each. They can Without any particular strain develop a speed of more than 13 knots. The armament of the Manchuria will consist of two 8 inch long range guns in the stern. six Hotchkiss, one Baranovsky, and four 9-pounder guns. The bottom of the boat is divided into 4‘2 water- tight compartments, and the hold is amply protected by 14 air-tight partitions. More- OVer, an appratus for ejecting Whitehead torpedoes will be placed in the vessel’s bow. The average speed attained during the run from Copenhagen to Cronstadt was 111; knots. The new gunboat is destined for service in the Pacific Ocean. The Sultan of Turkey gets along on the modest income of $0,000,000 a. year while thousands of his subjects are starving to death yearly. Washington desputeh :â€"-â€"A curious and in- teresting relic of Indian berbarism was re ceived at the War Department a. few days ago. It consisted of a. necklace of human fingers. Originally there were eleven fin- gers, strung together after the manner of necklaces of bears’ claws, but three of them had been lost. This ghastly adornment was captured in an attack on the Northern Cheyennes in 1876, and each finger repre- sented a. life taken by the owner, the big medicine man of the tribe. The fingers had been preserved by opening the skin, remov- ing the bones and subjecting the skin to some tanning process. The necklace was sent to W'est Point; by Capt. Bourke, who is engag- ed in preparing historical matter relating to the Indians. It was brought from \\'est Point here to be reproduced in papier mache at the Smithsonian Institution. The scien- tists there are quite enthusiastic over it, re- garding it as a. precious specimen of the bar- barons habits of the Indians who are now fast disappearing. \Nar Department of- ficials, however, look upon it with disgust whenever they are able to summon up suffi- cient hardihood to take a. peep at it.

Let it be said that a man who cultivates the full force and energy of his moral char- acter need never fear that he will fall a vic- tim to the suicide tendency of civilisation. For it is a sad fact that self-destruction fol- lows the triumphs of education, cultivation and civilisation.â€"Philudelphia News. An English physician, Dr. Westcott by name, has written a rather entertaining lit- tle book on the subject of suicide. Accord- ing to him hanging is the most prominent means of suicide. Drowning comes next. Women are especially fond of watery graves, for some reason or other. People have also killed themselves by voluntary starvation, eating horsu hair and swallowing pennies. The impression is general that the gloomy months of the year are those in which the majority of suicides occur. In the large class of suicides proceeding from disap- pointment and misery, the very contrast in:- tween the beauty of nature and the suite of mind of the sufferer must, in many cases, be unbearable and precipitate the fatal act.

It may astonish those who remember the plunging days of the Hastings era to hear that betting on the turf has been far heavier during the present season than at any former period. It is a far less difficult task to foretell the inevitable result of such deal- ings than to predict the winner of the ap- proaching St. Leger. The career of one sensational starting-price speculator, who thought nothing of having £10,000 on a. sup- posed certaiuty, was cut short at Ascot, where another bold dasher lost £15,600, and settled with a cheque for that amount on the following him lay, but has since re- tired. Far more sensational has been the betting of another young plunger. During the past fortnight at (ioodwood he lost £15,- 000 at racing and the same amount at Brighton ut pigeon-shooting on Saturday, his chief creditorâ€"for £6,000â€"at the latter being a. notorious member of the book-mak- ing fraternity, who did not possess so many shillings a few years ago. On the first day of the Brighton meeting, when every first favorite lost, the plunger had a bad day, but he won £15,600 on \Vednesday. These few truthful illustrations will sufficiently bear out my statement respecting the un- paralleled character of wagering at the present moment. Nor must mention be ommitted of another recent aristocratic re- cruit, Who, besides purchasing largely thoroughbred stock, is a very heavy better. A strange story came over the cable from Paris this week. Parisians are naturally a. volatile people, and look upon troubles in the lightest possible manner, even the death of a near relative not causing great emo- tions. A young grocer lost his wife four months ago, but during that short period he on several occasions offered to marry his mother-in-law. Iowever necessary suc‘i a relative is under ordinary circumstances the husband invariably endeavours to keep her at a respectable distance, and his happi- ness is regulated by the frequency of her visits Had this Parisian grocer given a banquet to his male friends in commemora- tion of the loss of a. mother-in-lawâ€"because her office actually ceased by the death of her daughterâ€"then the world would not have wondered; but to rush to the other extreme and determine to marry his late wife’s mother, is almost beyond human com- prehension. Doubtloss the grocer made the discovery that a mother-in-law is intoleri able, and the only way to bear with her eccentricities is to change the relationship. Periodically farmers discuss the question, â€"Does wheat transform into chess? The discussion has, we notice, again commenced in some of the agricultural papers in Cana- da and the United States. Those who hold the transformation theory are evidently of the old school, as their views are not as concisely stated as are those who ridicule such an idea. How such an absurd notion ever started is a mystery, but that plain, mattei--of~fact people, such as the majority of our farmers are, should for one moment accept such a theory, is more mystifying. Wheat cannot develop into chess under any conditions whatever. It may become rust- ed from several causes, but to imagine that by some peculiar surroundings it will as. sume a dilferent form is as unreasonable as to expect that oats will transform into timothy. Germany is not happy. On one side Russia is moderately aggressive and on the other France is positively insulting, taking advantage of every opportunity to show her dislike for her former conqueror. How long Germany will bear with these signs of hostility and hatred it is difficult to say. Bismarck is as wily as ever, and it is not in his nature to submit to the treatment his country and her subjects are receiving. That he will strike a blow, and a sudden and severe one, is what may be expected, but whether he will put it off until Germany is first stricken is more than mortals can tell. If these three Powers continue to maintain their present attitudes a day of reckoning is not far distant. A Michigan woman has made a. unique dress of common spool thread. The entire dress is hand-crocheted work, beautifully flowered and strong, and 10,000 yards of thread were used in its construction. The women ot Nebraska have planted 50‘ 000 trees during the last three years. “ Say, Harmer,” slid the old Imn as he turned to his wife afber a. while, “ did you hear that 1” “ Every word.” “ Say, when we git home we’ll keep mum until 1 see Stebbins, and feel around and see if there is a.

There was an old couple at the Third Street station the other day who had been to Niagara. Falls, and were waiting for a. train to their home in the-intvrinr of the State.

The French Government recently confer red the Cross of the Legion of Honor on Mother Mary Teresa, Superioress of the Sisters of Charity in Tonquin, for an act of heroism. A grenade fell upon an ambulance in which wounded soldiers were being re- moved in charge of the good Sister. It did not burst, so Mother Mary Teresa caught the grenade in her arms, to the dismay of the wounded soldiers, who feared it might explode and kill their devoted nurseâ€"and smilingly carried it away to a distance of eighty metres. 0n laying it down she noticed it was about to burst, so she threw herself to the ground. It exploded and she was seen lying covered with blood. As- sistance was at hand, but the nun rose to her feet an dsaying “That is nothing,” re- sumed her place in the ambulance by her wounded charge. \Vhen the Governor- Ueneral sent for her to have the decoration pinned in her habit she was assisting at he amputation of a. soldier’s leg, and refused to leave her patient until the operation was completed. _ Nor is there such hope for polygamists here through the establishment of new pro- vinces as there is across the border by the creation of new States. Here the marriage law is afederal concern, and no province can alter it. There are, of course, Mormons who are notenamoured of the doctrine of the multiplicity of wives. We have such in this country already, under the name of the Lat- ter Day Saints. Precisely how these non- polygamous Mormons reconcile themselves to brotherhood with the other class of Mor- mons it is difficult to understand. The mat- ter is a. theological mystery too deep for the lay mind to fathom. But the polygamous Mormons are true to their offence. The late president, John Taylor, in a sermon delivered just before his flight, quoted a pretended revelation, drafted in Biblical language, and bristling with allusions to Abraham, lacob, David and Solomon, in which the practice of polygamy was insisted upon as an essential ; and at the funeral of the same worthy, one of “the twelve apos- tles” intimated that the distinguishing characteristic of the religion was to be maintained and to be duly observed when circumstances should permit. Were the Mormons to abandon their disgraceful doc- trine they might find a home here; but, as they have no intention of doing this, their best policy is to remain where they are, or if Utah is getting too warm for them, to find under the guidance of Mr. Allan Quartemain some secluded spot in Africa, where remote from decency, they will be of- fensive to nobody and free from all restraints of law and alldangers of persecution or pro- seoution as the case may be. In connection with the cablegram received from Gaudaur in reference to a. match with Beach. the latter, on being made acquainted with the fact, at once went to Sydney from his farm at Dapto, and his first visit was to a newspaper office. Beach's answer was, “ I am prepared to meet Hanlan, Gaudaur, or anyone else.” With regard to Trickett, Beach said that he should row him for what he liked. He was in the best of health, and weighed l‘Zst l3lb. but in train- ing he would come down to l'lst 21b. He said that after August next it would not be necessary for him to defend the honour any longer, as he would then have held the championship for three years. He should, however, go on rowing for some time after that. He expected to row Hanlan first. Then if Gaudanr wanted a match he should deal with him. He said that in his big race with Gaudaur on the Thames, Gnudaur gave him the hardest “doing” of any man he ever met, but it was not true that he had to be assisted out of his boat. After the race he rowed up to the boat-house, and had a. cup of tea. and a. bath, and he then felt as fresh as a daisy. Beach said that he should not row matches so closely together as he did on the Thames. He intends to have intervals of five or six weeks between each. This heroic woman may be said to have lived amidst wars and alarms. \Vhen only twenty years of age she was wounded by a. cannon ball while tending the wounded on the field of Balaklava. In 1879 she was laid prostrate on the field of Magenta by a shell. At Reisholfen she was found cover- ed with sabre wounds among a, heap of dead cuirassiers in 1876. She has served her religion and her countrymen in Syria, China and Mexico, as well as in Europe, and is still in the prime of life. She belongs to a. good family, and forsook the comforts and pleasures to which she was born to minister to wants of suffering humanity. Such self- sacrifice illustrates how much there is that is good in this world. Every walk in life has its peculiar way of bringing nobility to the front, but it will be hard to find a. nobler picture than the life of this humble Sister of charity. Mormons for Canada. There is some talk of the emigration of the Mormons to Canada, and fears are ex- pressed lest in the North-\Vest, where it is srid they propase to settle, they will prac- tice polygmuy, WhiCII. according to the revelations alleged to have been received by the founders of the cult, is an assent»,in in their religion. rl'lie Mormons are luvinga (llll'lv‘llll'. time of it in the States, hence their desire to m we. The marriage laws are be. iug enfaiccd there, and the polygomoug leaders of the sect are in hiding. President, Taylor himself was a. fugitive at the time of his death. though he hail made a feim; of parting wit] his surplus Wives ; and his ptrtisans declare that the persecution of which he was the victim “for conscience, sake” was the immediate cause of his demise. At a recent Mornun convention 8. pi oposal was made that the territory of Utah be created a State. The alleged purpose in view was the granting to the people of the territory the same constitutional rights as are enjoyed elsewhere. But public opinion in the United States at once declared against the project, for the reason that a. State has control of the marriage laws, and for the further reason that the Mormons, as legis- lators on marriage, would very speedily cause the laws to confirm to their peculiar views. If the Mormons, having given up in despair the hope of ever making polgamy legal in the United States, are really look- ing to Canada in the expectation that they Will be able to practice their abominable offence against civilizrtion here, they are reckoning upon an immunity from punish- ment which can never be allowed. The laws of Canada against polygamy are string- ent in the extreme, and what is more, they apply equally throughout the country and are very apt to be enforced_ [Beach and His Rivals.
