Two prospectors recently visited the ls- l land of Han Nicholas, oil‘ the Venturacoast, ‘, with the purpose of taking up land. They i found the land on the island, which is four miles wide by twelve long, utterly barren. 0n the western side sand is about the only thing seen, and this has been blown from . the bomb clear to the top of the island, 700 1 or 300 feet high. (in the other side of the island they found human bones for :1 distance of five miles along the beach. They were very thick, and i it looked as if ithud been a graveyard. They ‘ also discovered the rem-"tins of human bodies on the ridge, which runs lengthwise through ithe island. In some places two skeletons were seen close together, as if they had been buried in the same grave. The wind had blown off what covering of soil had been thrown over them. Bones Were thickly ,‘strcwn along this ridge for upward of three tmiles. From appearances upward of 4,000 1‘ Indians must have been buried there. ‘ A shanty whit-h had been built on the west ‘side was found buried clear to the roof in sand. There are now about 2,000 sheep i on the island, and from a sort of rough grass :they seem to keep fat. The pu‘ty wcntinto l a cave which afforded an Indian woman, the sole occupant of the island, a home for seven ;years. It seems that when her party was, ,i leaving the island she jumped overboard and ‘1 ‘ swam ashore in the night. Years went. by , l i now to Discourage Crime. How best to discourage crime has long plexedthosechargedwiththeresponsibilityof maintaining social order. And though it may be freely asserted that some advance has been made during the centuries towards a solution of the problem, it is evident that. the perfect means has not yet been discover- ed. To devise improvements of existing methods, an International Congress of per- sons interested in the repression of crime has just been held in Christiana, Norway. One of llic resolutions passed by this body recommends the imposition of fines in many cases in which offenders are now sentenced to imprisonment: also that. when an offender be sentenced in imprisonment, he be allOWed to reduce his term of imprisonment by the payment. of a fine, which might be made payable in instalments. The fine, according to the resolution, should be proportioned to the position, which of course includes the wealth of the criminal. This is not the first time that the superior utility of fines has been advocated. Belcuria, the distinguished Italian jurist of a former generation in his celebrated treatise on crimes and punishment, argued that thefts without violence should be punished by fine, for that he who enriches himself at another's expense ought to suffer at his own. It is found also that Sir Samuel Romilly, who lived in the i early part of the present century, entertain- ed the same opinion as to the value of fines. This great lawyer wrote : “ If restitution of the property stolen, and only a few weeks on Saturday morning near Fergus and the fireman, James Laiiig, killed.

The three continents of the Old World have gone over by theologians in a vain search for its most probable location. 5 From China to the Canary Islands, from the l :Mountains of the moon to the coast of the l‘ultic, each country has been the subject of search, and no spot supposed to corres 0nd in the slightest degree to the seriptura (le- seription of the first abode of the human race has been left unexamined. The most ancient opinion,which is given by Josephus.is that it . was in the country which lies between the Gauges and the Nile. This view imagines Eden as being a very widely extended terri- tory, embracing all of the country from the Indus on the east to the Nile on the west. As the " Garden" is said to have been “to theeastward in Eden,” it isplaceddefinitely in the valley of the Euphrates. Von Ham- mer, the famous Oriental scholar, places Eden in Bactria; others locate it in Baby- ]ouia, at the confluence of the Euphrates and the Tigris. Captain \Vilford, a profound student of Hindoo antiquities, has labored to locate Eden in Bamian, south of the Koosh range of mountains. Buttman puts . it down in India ; Heider, in his “ History of Mankind,” identifies it with the Vale of i Cashmere ; the Orientals (many sects of them) believe that it was on the Isle of Cey- lon, while the Greeks place it at Beth-Eden- on Lebanon. Lastly, many regard the whole story as given in Genesis as a myth. “R - W Lying: on The Gallows. The murderer Conway, who was hanged ‘ at Liverpool a short time ago, and was so shockingly mutilated by the bungling of the hangman Berry, perpetrated a curious out- rage in his last. moments. He made a. con- fession on the scaffold in which he stated that his real name was Owen (liblin, that he was born in Ireland,had been a soldier in the Forty-ninth foot, and his regimental number was 2,691. He gave details of his career in the army, and said he changed his name to Conway to avoid punishment for deserting from a ship. A week ago a man called at the newspaper offices in Dublin and : said that. be was the real Owen Giblin He showed his papers of discharge from the Forty-ninth Regiment in which he is describ- ed as “ Private Owen Giblin, 2,691.” Giblin is a laboring man of respectability, {well known in his nation count of Lei- : trim. His army record is the an e as vi.-. given by Conway. Conway must have After Snrngossn. been an associate of Giblin’s at some . time and solearned hishistory. Giblin is in- tensely grieved at Conway’s lying statement, ‘ and hopes the press will circulate his story of the matter. } The heroic resistance of Saragossa ave to i Napoleon’s soldiers an impression of ismay, new even to men who had passed through 17 ’ years of revolutionary warfare ;but it failed i to retard Napoleon’s armies in the conquest of Spain.

Conference » were the recommendation of the Conference which recommended them for many other crimes as well. That crime would diminish carried out, may well be doubted. Indeed it is almost certain that in some directions it would increase. Many a. man who is now deterred by the fear of imprisonment from taking satisfaction out of his enemy by subjecting him to a good pummelling would not unwillingly pay a considerable fine for the privilege of being his own avenger. And even as to theft itself the practical carrying out of the recommendation would be at- tended with the twofold diffieulty of extracting money from thieves with empty pockets, to which class many' of the light fingered gentry belong, and of apportioning the status of the offender so as to make the value of his fine consistent with the amount of his wealth. ____...__ Where to locate Colleges. The question, “ Where should colleges be located, in a large city ora country town?” is at pr»sent being discussed by several of the leading educationists of this continent. Though some contend for the one or the other locality without any reference to the character of the institution or the special Work to be accomplished, the opinion seems to be quite general that where the Work to be done is of an academical nature and the chief object is the culture of the student the quiet surroundings of a. country town are most conducive to the end in view ; but that where the work partakes of the nature of investigation and research, the city furn- ishes the best and most abundant opportun- ities. So far as historical precedents go thereis much to be said on both sides. It would be an easy task to cite the names of flourishing and successful institutions of learning that have their home in country towns and equally easy to name respectable and influential universities that are located amid the stir and activity of metropolitan life. In vain we appeal to history to settle the question, which will probably long con- tinue to divide the opinions of thoseinterest- ed therein. But Whatever may be said as to those institutions designed to do academies] work there can hardly be any doubt as to professional schools which aim tofita student for immediate participation in the more active walks of life.

The expedition to the Grand Falls of Labrador has been successful, and tho mystery, which only two years ago was the subject of extended debate in the Royal Geographical Society of London, is at last cleared up. The expedition to the Grand Falls was suggested by articles appearing early this year in a geographical magazine, calling attention to the remarkable stories told about them, and asking for volunteers to Visit Labrador and learn the truth about the Grand Falls. All the information we had concerning them was derived from two white men and the Indians of Labrador. The Indians have always declared that the fall- were haunted, and they have avoided them, believing that they would die if they looked upon them. Two white men who saw them were Mr. Maclean in 1839, and Mr. Kennedy who over thirty years ago, had charge of. Hudson Bay post in inner Labrador, Macleau was stopped y the falls as he was ascending the river. Three years ago R.F. Holmewentfrom En land to visit the Grand Falls. He organiz a little party to accompany him, and ascend- ed the Grand River within about fifty miles of the falls, when he was compelled to return on account of the failure of his provisions. The falls were said to tumbleover the edge of the lofty plateau of inner Labrador. Prof. Hart had estimated that the inner Labrador plateau was con siderably over 2,000 feet high, from his deductions and from the reports of Kennedy and Maclean it was inferred that the falls were upward of 2,000 feet high. Holme placed much confidence in the accu- racy of this information, though geographers were skeptical about. it. They will not be surprised that the present explorers have . found the falls to be of less magnitude. The final plunge of the river, where it con- tracts to a width of 150 feet, is only 200 feet but a series of rapids above the falls carries the water down for 500 feet, so the river has a. total fall of 700 feet from the Height of Land to the canon into which it drops. The falls are said by the present explorers to afford a. magnificent spectacle, and if they were only more accessible they would be among the great natural attractions on our continent. An immense volume of water pours over the edge, and the drop of 200 feet makes a waterfall that is surpassed in few parts of the World. These falls are about 250 miles inland, not very far from the in- tersection of the fifty-third parallel of north latitude with the sixty-fifth meridian. The best way to get to them is to ascend Hamil- ton inlet, and then the rapid Grand River, which empties into the inlet. The plucky explorers solved the problem, though they had a. hard time of it, being so unfortunate as to lose their boat and one cache of pro- visions by fire. They were therefore reduc- ed to very short rations, but they survived their hardships, and all geographers, as well . as the public generally, will be very much interested in the news they have brought home. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~.â€"â€"-â€" THE CZAB'S SHOT-PROOF CAR. now the. Emperor ofllussln Travels Among Ills Loving Suhjecls. When the Czar travels in Russia. the pre- cautions taken for his safety could notbe greater were he in the enemy’s country. A battalion of infantry is detailed for every two miles of distance, and allowing 500 men as the strength of each battalion, every spot of ground on both sides of the track is cover- ed by sentinels within easy distance of each other. The Czar is suddenly whirled off to the station accompanied by thechosen twelve of his body guard, without pomp or circum- stance, sWiftly and silently. The Czar al- ways travels in a train of five carriages. His carriage is built in a. peculiar way. , The windows, while ample for light, are high, so that a. person sitting down is invisi- ble from the outside, and the sides of the car are fortified with plates of steel concealed in the ornamental woodwork, but amply bl-EPJlfy' to resist a bullet. There are two end, and each lcid‘fiiil‘gq'llflafle, one at 83.011 side from the other. The guardsméfi"‘6fi duty in these apartments are shut in from any observation of the interior of the car- riage, but at intervals of about two feet the whole length of the saloon are electric butâ€" tons communicating with the guard cham- bers, as well as with the two carriages one containing the suite and the other, in the rear, occupied by the guardsrnen not on duty. So far as the train itself is concerned, the Czar could be no more secure in St. Petersburg. . _ . The train speeds on to its d estimation With out a halt, except on aceuunt of accident. At a distance of not less than five miles ahead is a pioneer train in which the Imperial Director of Railways and the chief engineer of the particular railway on which the Czar is travelling always ride. As the pilot train whizzes by the reserves along the line rush to arms and guard the sides of the railway waiting until the imperial train has passed. so that the spectacle is presented of contin- u0us lines of soldiery for hundreds of miles. Arrived at the end of his journey the Czar is escorted to the quarters intended for the imperial family. ' The streets are guarded by special consta’ bles in the attire of citizens. Every proper- ty owner has been called upon to supply one or more of these men at his own expense to do duty when the sovereign makes a public appearance. The constables average one in ten of the crowd that throngs the streets, and being in ordinary dress,_they can mingle with the people, note what. is said, and, per- haps, do something that Will obtain them regular employment among the secret police. lVith one tenth the population engaged as. spies upon the remainder, with troops enough concentrated to stand a formidable» siege, and his faithful guardsmen dogging, every step, the Czar goes through the forms- of a visit to the ancient capital of Russia. or whatever city he may cliovse to honor. .. -’* bier Words of Caution.
