It has been found that Miss Ellen Terry makes the “autogrnph fiend” useful by requiring everyone who wants her auto- graph to contribute something toward the support of the hospital in which she ii specially interested. It is suggested that other people who, forsome reason or another, are targets for the hunter after autographs should adopt a similar plan, and levy, say fifty cents, for some worthy charity, as a condition precedent to the writing of their names. They would thus make the “auto- graph fiend," Whois now generally regarded as a. nuis Luce, a. useful and productive member of society. ATrensure Winn-h Should be Guarded by Some Loalslulion. A remarkable fact is made public in connection with the parochial work of the Rev. Robert Ker, rector of St. George’s parish, St. Catharines. During the monih between December 2nd, 1893, and January 2, 1894, Mr. Ker read the service for the burial of the dead over five persons whose combined ages amounted to 423 years, not one of Whom was under eighty years of age. The American newspaper womanâ€"Miss Bankeâ€"who has been rather startling the London press with hersensational reporting; has vaulted from her experience in cap and apron as a servant to advertising for an aristocrat chaperon mlling to take pay: ment for introducing her into the best society. The results of this undertaking he, of course, has duly ventihted in an article. How much hidden treasure the depths of Ontario's broad fields. her roeky strata. and her limestone ridges, contain in the way of that most excellent fruit of the earth’s bowels, natural gas, is as yet uncertain. The only locality in which these valuable vapors have been developed to any extent is the south westerly part of the county of Welland, chiefly in the township of Hum- berstone, where the work of producing natural gas has become a Considerable in- dustry. The use of natural gas has practi- cally avoided in that district the necessity of oil for light, or wood and coal for fuel. The neighboring country, however, reaps only a, slight portion of the benefits of this production. Regarding the nonflicting statements as to the health of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Judge Holmes, the poet’s son, says the truth is that about two Weeks ago his father was seized with a slight attack of the grip. He has since recovered, but is suffering to some extent from the languor that some- times results from the disorder. He is in other respects in his usual health, is not confined to his bed,nnd his condition is not such as to cause any alarm. THE CANADIAN OWNERS. While the gas inherent to another man’s land is removed therefrom by the pumps, it is doubtful if he has any legal remedy, and certain decisions in the American courts uphold this View. The tendency of the American judicial opinions appears to be that natural gas is like wild animals, (feriae natures) and can be taken wherever it can be found. It is on this account that a representation from the inhabitants of that district of Welland county are now asking the Ontario Government for legisla- tion to prevent this wanton export of gas by foreign companies. The remedy they propose is a. law prohibiting all pumping of gas. The flow of gas is to be confined to the rock pressure or natural flow, and this quantity it is claimed is sufficient to meet the purposes of the surrounding country. As it is now, the people of \Velland, ’Ihorold and St. Catharincs are deprived of a. great blessing of nature, because the Stand- ard Oil octopus 0&1] draw money into its tentacles more quickly by supplying the gas to Bufialonisus. It is claimed that the now fertile gas fields of Humberstone will, in a few years become wastes, like the gas fields of Northern Ohio, owing to the artificial pump unduly destroying the natural supply, LON’G DISTANCE rim-1s are laid connecting the gas wells With the city of Buffalo, and several millions of cubic feet of gas are now sent to Bufialo yearly from Canada. Until recently the natural flow of the gas was suificient to meet the requirements, but the demand for the gas in the city that guards Niagara‘s head has in- creased so greatly that. artificial agencies are being used for its extraction. The Standard Oil Company controls nearly all the gas fields of the district, having leased them from the owners. The production is confined chiefly to two companiesâ€"the Provincial Natural Gas Company. which is the Standard Oil off-shoot, and the Erie Natural Gas Company. The former com- pany has placed pumps in Operation to sup- ply the demand, and the latter company, to keep up with its rival, will be compelled to follow suit. It is in the use of the pumps that an important question arises. The pumps have the eflect of exhausting the supply more speedily, and not only do they extract the gas from the grofind into which they are sunk, but they also deprive all the neighboring land of its gas. Thus not only damage is done to a neighbor’s rights, but the foundation is placed under a process of sure exhaustion. Experts aver that the supply of natural gas in the Humberstone district will be all exhausted by the pump- ing process in six years. All this gas will find its way to Buffalo, and very little will be left for Gladstone traces his ancestry back to King Duncan,ofScotla.nd,who was Macbetb’s victim. This gas question is a most interesting one, and from the data. to hand at present, it would appear that the Government should take some step to prevent the wan- ton deprivation of acommuuity of a. natural blessing which rightfully belongs to them. There will doubtless be other gas fields dis- eavercd in Canada, and it is right that they should be preserved as far as possible for the people who have the most right to enjoy them. n?1~u3u c: AS I.\' 0!

The whole of the Ithaca. police force was stationed near by ready to quell any serious trouble. About ten o'clock the freshmen reached Tioga street. Then a “rush”ensuedâ€"-called a. rush probably in order to give it a. good character, but in reality it was nothing more or less than a free fight. The freshmen surged towards the door leading up into the hall and were ‘ Faces were punched. hats smashed, and a. general melee fullewed, in which the offi- cers were tossed about like chaff. The “ rush" was only ended when the last fresh- man was safely in the 119.11. Then order was restored, except, perhaps, when some luckless freshman who was late fell into the hands of the sophomores. Things Went along quite smoothly until about eleven o'clock, when a sensation was sprung upon the people outside the hall. The police officials concluded that the victims were poisoned by gas, and discover- ed that in a. room directly under the kitch- en of the hull some one had bored two holes in the ceiling above. On a. table stood a. large jug, corked, but in the cork were two rubber tubes, which ran nearly up to the ceiling, where tl‘ey were connected with two lass tubes which ran through holes in the cor, thus spreading in the room above the gas generated from the jug, which was found to be chlorine, a mixture of salt and sulphuric acid. There was, however, no clue tn the party who had been guilty of this dastardly piece of business. Tobiensky,'a. Belgian engineer, has design- ed a sky-piercing structure for the Antwerp Exhibition of 1894, which promises to eclipse the' Eiffel Tower and Chicago’s great Ferris Wheel. It consists of a gigan- tic captive balloon, composed of two hemi- spheres and three cylindrical compartments of triple Chinaeilk. The weight, including the castle in the air and its accessories, with that of 150 persons, will be 16 tons. The balloon will be anchored by four great vertical cables. _Two balloon elevators, captible of carrying ten to fifteen persons, connect the castle with the ground. Ac- cording to the strength of the Wind, it can rise to a. height of from 600 to 1500 feet. The platform is 90 feet long, with a. surface of 200 square feet. ‘ Filrsb‘appeared a. coloured women, led by two men. She was almost white, so had was her condition.

Soon after she was led out of the building a. number of students were carried out, some being taken to Grant’s drug store, and some to Casey’s res- taurant.
