The improvements in quality and uniformiin of packing are also hav- ing their effect. on the demand in the Old (‘ounti‘y market.

This creates (lifâ€" [1(‘lllllifis of trade that all buyers on- deavor sedulonsly to avtiid. Another step in improvement demanded. however.

A (lespaich from Port Said says:â€" The British ship Chatham, which was sunk‘ in the Suez Canal Sept. 6, in order to prevent an explosion of some 80 tons of dynamite, which formed part of the cargo, while the ship was menaced by flames, was blown up at 9.53 o’clock“ on Thurs~ (lay morning."l‘he Suez Canal is blocked in consequence. The world's record in planned plosions, as seen from the Eastern Exchange, consisted first of a vast column of grey smoke shooting sky- ward. Within a second of the pressâ€" ing of the button at the firing point, which was three miles distant from the Chatham, a column 'of water, 300 feet high, rose. Eight seconds later it had risen to a height of 1,â€" 400 feet, and in four seconds more it. was nearly 2,000 feet high. Then wreckage rose, immense fragments of iron soaring aloft hundreds of feet. The total duration of the asâ€" cent was 35 seconds. The whole ex- body of water in the canal for a distance of about 200 linear yards was apparently lifted and thrown over the banks and spread over a mile of the country, depositing thouâ€" sands of dead fish. The vegetation in that section was destroyed. Much of the wreckage fell on the railway. Subsequent investigation showed that 600 feet of the cast bank of the canal was destroyed. The west bank was not injured. The telegraph and telephone lines were leveled. The greater part of the steamer vanished, sprayed trees, etc. This part of the exhibit will be in charge of Mr. W. ’1‘. Macoun, of the Central Experi~ mental Farm, Ottawa. 6.

Twenty-five Doukhobors Arrested After Great Suffering.
