Sight of. The German tank-steamer Diamant, Captain \Vischausen, from a European port, for New York, which had been given up for lost wii‘th’ her crew of thirty-five men has arrived, at Halifax, in low of the steamer British Empire. The Diamant is fifteen ,days overdue. owing to the loss of her propeller on February 10th, when she was some 500 miles oiff Halifax. The escapd'of the German steamer is remarkable. She was picked up by three steamers, one of which lost her‘ in a. storm, while an- other, which attempted to how her in, became disabled herself, through the fouling of the prlcpeller with the tow-line. The Diamant. was first. sighted by Captain Forth, of the Fur- ness Line steamer Galileo, which reach- ed Boston frnm London on February 21. Captain Foth reported that he tell in with the: tanik~steamer on Februâ€" ary 17, 500 miles south. of this port. The Diamant signalled that she had lost her propeller, and requested to be towed to the nearest port. The Galileo put out ahawsor. and laid her course for Halifax, N.,"S., lowing the Diamant. This next. day heavy galcs came. on, during which the wire haivser parted. i’l‘hc Diamant. signal- ledzâ€"“Do not lose sight of us." IN THE THOUGH OF THE SEA. Although the sea was very roiiigh,i Captain Forth manipulated the Galileo so that by means oft life. buoys a line was floated across the Diamant's how, and a second hawser was pulled aboard. The tow was resumed, and slowly the boat's made. for Halifax. with headâ€"winds and boisterous seas. Soon afierwards another terrible, gale came on, during which the linwser parted, leaving the Diamant rolling fearfully in the. trough of the sea. She then disappeared. Captain Forth cruised (lbU'llt nearly a. day, but found no trace of the steamer, and so. resumed his course, convinced that. the ill-fated Diamaiit had foundered. The Galileo had towed her some 280 miles. 'l‘be Diamant was also sighted. by the Beaver Line steamer inke- \Vimii- peg, from Lverpolo' to St. John, who undertook to tow the. disabled vessel to this port. A bad storm: arose, and the Diamani's hawser became en- tangled with the propeller of the Beaver Liner, and the latter also be- came disabled and was obliged (to drop the tank-steamer. {The Lake .Winni- peg arrived in St. John safely a few days ago.

'An advance bulletin of the report of the Dominion Geological Survey has been issued from the department at Ottawa dealing with the mineral pro- duction of Canada in 1896. The com- plete report wiI lnot‘ be ready for some time. astho necessary information can- not be collected until some months af- ter the close of the year. Credit is given to Mr.L. L. Bruphy for his suc- cess in gettingr this bulletin to press some days earlier than in any prev- ious year. . There are some notable increases shown bythis bulletin over the output. in 1895, the greatest being in silver, which shows an increase of value in the one year of $988,957, or almost a million dollars. Gold shows an increase of $899,300, coal $278,850, and copper. $71,019. The greatest falling off was in nickel.the decrease being $205,904. Lead. also shows 'a decrease in value to the extent of $28 85:2, although thisis occasâ€"v ioncd altogether by a reduction of. 8 per cent in price. there having been an increase of production ofmore than. a million pounds. The coal increase is due altogether to Nova Scotia, where the output. was 296.153 tons more than in 1805, whereas in British Columbia the coal output: was 104 629 less than in the previous your. Large increases of gold are. credited to Nova Scctia and. Unizirio, but British Columbia heads the list. with an increase of $407,075. Ontario's nickel production is reduced during the year by UVcl‘ 400,000 pounds. British Columbia's output of silvveram- ounted to 3,135,343 ounces valued; at $2,100,689, nearly a million dollars more. than in the preceding year.

The doctors being unable to diagnose the case, and fearing death if no relief ‘was given. an operation was deterâ€" mined upon.

Bayonels, Guns and Soldlern In the Saddle -â€"lllore l'mverllll Than a Company 0 Cavalryâ€"To Be Propelled By n Gasoline Motor at Lightning Speed. A motor bicycle has just been invent- ed by a. French genius which promises to prove one of the most formidable ad- juncts to an army in conflict which has been created for a. number of yeam. Competent military authorities who have given the machine and the idea. of the, inventor careful consideration de~ clzlre that acompany of soldiers mounted on these cycles could inflict more dam- age upon the enemy, provided the con- flict did not occur in a mountainous country, than four companies of infan- try equipped in the regulation fashion could accomplish. So notable is the impression that the motor cycle has made in France that the French Minister of War. together with a military commimion made rup of the most thoroughly posted officers of the army of France, is seriously con- sidering giving the new invention the sanction of the Government and equip- ping several companies of the army with the machine. There have been many experiments with the bicycle in the armies of Eur- ope, and the military authorities of “no nation have taken more interest in the machine and its development than those of France. Now, as to the motor cycle itself. It is in form and principle like u'n'ta THE MOTOR. CYCLE with which we are all more or less fam- iliar. There are, however, one or two important exceptions. the most notable of these, so far as the operation of the machine is concerned. being that the rider steers the cycle with his feet, the handle bar, or rather the substi- When the expedition entered the town ;‘ tute for it. being adapted to a totally it was found that it well deserved its ; different purpose. The motor. the im- pelling force of the cycle, is located just forward of the rear wheel, and is of sufficient size to insure a satisfacâ€" tory rate of speed. The ~airman tank which carries the fuel which supplies the motor contains an ample quanti- ty to guarantee at least a day's_ jour- ney without replenishing. The inven- tor claims that the machine Will easily make. over a fairly rough country.from 12 to 15 miles an hour. and believes that with good roads, unimpeded, it would do even better than this. _ ‘ Bayonets extend forward sufficient- 1y to clear the machine entirely, and to be without an impediment to pene- trate whatever the rider may charge at. In place of the handle bars is a curved gun rest, which may be moved upward to suit the desire of the rider. Every rider is supposed to ‘be armed with a. repeating rifle, and it Will be understood that from the fact that he can steer the machine with the feet he is left entirely free to use the wea- ponâ€"as unincumbered as he would.be if he were standing on the ground, like the ordinary infantry man of toâ€"day. A charge by a company mounted on these cycles would practically be one of those MOST DREADED EVENTS in a battle. a bayonet conflict_ and a heavy fire from rifleincn combined. It has been a favorite argument of the opponents of the bicycle for army use that the machines could never be utilized except for purely transporta- tion purposes. and that therefore they were in a great measure an incumbâ€" rance to an army in the field. In time of battle, it was alleged, they were of no value whatever. The invention of this Frenchman seems to remove this ob'ection entirely. ' it might be said by quibblers that the new cycle is not up to date, because the. motive power is gasoline rather than electricity. This is unfair, because electricity for such useâ€"for bicycles or motor cyclesâ€"is only _in the experimen- tal stage. \Vhile it is true that there is sufficient power to be obtained by electricity to drive the motor cycle or any other machine, there confronts one the old problem of the storage battery. This latter has never proved success- ful for continued propulsion. The mo- tor cycle for war must be run on a basis of absolute certainty. This_is why M. Francois L‘Hereaux, the _inâ€" ventor. says gasoline was used by him. The method of conveying an amount of gasolinesufficient to supply the var- ious muchines is as thoroughly modern as the machines themselves. It is a tank. very much like those With which we are all familiar, mounted upon a horseless wagon, which is also driven by a gasoline motor. It is the inten- tion to recharge the motor Cycles eaCh day, as it has been estimated that the ordinary tank. which forms part of the machine. contains just about a suffi- cient amount of gasoline to supplythe motor for one day's travel, the high- est estimated rate of speed being the basis of calculation. H DANGER OF BURIAL ALIVE. Your chance of being buried alive is anywhere from 2 to :20 in 1,000. accord- ing to siatistiCS gathered in England. Wales, France and Germany. Col. E. P. Vollurm and Mr. Tebb have written a book on the subject of premature burial, and they have followed up the boo-k by declaring that they by no means exaggerated the case. That the percentage of these distressing disasâ€" tors, as compared to .the totail annual intermcnis. is small is obvious, but ’a small percentage on 550,000 annual bur- ials in England and \Vlllt‘s, on 800,000 in France and over 1001000111 the Unit- cd States will 101211 ll vast aggregate of unimaginable and needless suffering.
