What wonderful progress the closing halt

and inventions, which, while they have fairly revolutionized the methods of human

life, are taken almost as a matter of course.

New and wonderful discoveries are made

that the inventive genius of man had not

THE GREAT WATER-CRESS TRAGEDY.

IL.

There was a good deal of flightineas about Doctor Calo, But anybody who judged him by his mere manner would find himself con- ridera! ly mistakeu. The Parisian professors

would have told you that they knew of no

keener and cooler brain than the young Italian physician's; of no rising man trom whom they expected greater things. It is

ve that his fellow students had, from the t, styled him ** The Madman,” and had lected, or invented, any number of anec- <lotes to justify the title ; and it is also true that one exceedingly shrewd old physician ia i once said “fae Calo? the best brain in France but I'd sooner trust myself alone with « tiger than with Calo. A man with- out a heart is madder than a man without a brain. Look athis eyes.” But he never said anything more ; and it was not such an easy thing to look steadily at Dr. Calo® eyes And long before he was out of his rtadentship his nickname had becomea title of honor, and then forgotten.

Of couree such a man was destined to be a specialist by mature; and gradually he directed his studies more and more upon the breathing-apparatus of man and other animals, until they exercised upon him the

What Sresident Conrad Has to Say Abont the Big Lottery.

New Ornveans, Auy. 06.—President Pau Conrad, of the Louistana Lottery Company, was interviewed to-day about tiie despatch regarding the company’s attempt to pur- chase @ lecation in the Sandwich Islands.

; ‘But what are the company's plans for the future’ Might not their negotiations be carried on without your knowledge ?”

“* Scarcely, such vast sume as are talked of are not carried in one’s vest pocket nor ex- pended by one inember of a concern without consulting his associates) The owners of the Louisiana Lottery are now scattered over the globe seeking peace or pleasure.ac- cording to their condition or taste.

It is officially stated that in England dur- ing July there had not been @ single tire that could be traced to the electric light.

The Edison night lamp consists of two filaments, which, connected in series, a faint light. The same switch that con- ivuls the lamp also short-circuits one fila- ment when a bright light is required.

And now a Canadian electrician asserts that electricity causes the tides, and not the moon. Hie way of demonstrating his theory is by electrifying a rubber comb, which, when drawn over the surface of the water in a glass filled with that liquid, ts followed by « slight wave motion

Not far from Catania on Saturday a band of six malefactors, who were mounted on excellent horses and arm- ed with Vetterl: magazine rifles of the Nwise pattern, captured a Harom Spitaleri and huis son, and refused to release them ex- cept on payment of a large ransom, As the captives were unable to furnish the amount demanded, the brigands were about to carry the twogentlemen otfto the mountains, when the Countess triancialo, who witness- ed the capture of the fered to go to her country house, not far distant, and tetch some money. This she | did, and returned with 50,000 franc«. | brigands refused to be satisfied with this amount, however, and threatening the | Countess with their poignards, foresbly en- | tered the house and ransacked the premises |with the result that they discovered a | further sum of 110,00) francs.

NINETEDN MEN LOST.

A Neva Seetia Seheoner Founders After a Cellision with Anether Fisherman.

A Halifax despatch says: —(reat grief pre- vails at La Have over the news of the loss of the schooner Cashier, with her crew of 19 men. The news comes from Newfoundland that the Cashier, which was fishing on the Grand Banks, had collided with another fisherman in a storm and that both vessels were lost with ali on board. The Cashier was a fine vessel of 10S tons, owned by

| Reinhardt Bros. and T. A. Wilson, and commanded by Capt. Alfred Reinhardt. Among the crew are: John Pernette brother-in-law of the captain and William Wentzell leaving a family of nine children, of La Have ; Ei: Corkum, Spencer Ranby,

| Andrew Mosher, George Richards and two | brothers named Legag, cf Weat Dublin.

The others were from Volger’s Cove and vicinity. Young Ranby is the third son of the same family lost at sea. The capiain is brother of the collec.or of customs at La Have.

$$ ee Bus -Bodies.

The Political Busy-Body isa man born

with an innate perception of the moving principle of all his actions ; viz., that what- ever iats wrong. It matters not whether the sphere of those actions be the parish or the parliament, the club or the cabinet, the body politic or the body corporate, or whether the Kusy-Body is whig, reformer, radical, or conservative. To intermeddle ig his vocation ; to make the world better than tt is, the condition of his existence ; to overturn, to destroy, and to change, an ** absolute necessity of his nature ;’ and ten to one but at bottom revolution is not unfrequently uppermost in his thoughts. The Political Busy-Body knows but one language, the language of craft ; speaking to the possions, not the reason, of men. He knows, too, but one rule of right ; his own inordinate self-conceit, which impels him, on all occasions, and upon all subjects, to substitute his own notions of what should be, for what is. Former ages may have | produced great men—-that 1s, men good | enough for the times in which they lived— and our forefathers may have conselled wisely, or acted nobly, according to their benighted conceptions of true wisdom and exalted glory ; but what are the mighty thinkers and sagacious actors oi antiquity. compared with the Political Busy-Body of the year 1892* Even as they themselves are, mere dust in tue balance !

Is there discontent? The Political Busy- Body intlames it intorebellion. Is there a part of the whole, which all men agree de- mands to be reformed? The political Busy- Body takes the part for the whole, and would sweep away the good with the bad. ' Does he live in a town, or a village, or

neighborhood, where tran juility and con- tent have hitherto been the presiding guar- ians of the place? No sooner does the Political Busy-Body fix his abode there, | than families are divided ; friends arrayed | against each other; the poor taught to com- plain ; the rich to interfere : the very women to prate of rights and privileges ; while the schoolmasters dare hardly tlog a turbulent

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DOGS

Ap Aristecratic Trice in Very Comfortable Quarters.

Dogs were first admitted to the court of England in the reign of Henry VIIL Under

the present reign tnree d have been ele- vated to the highest i. dignities on account of their aristocrotic families and their own peculiar merits. The names of the aristocratic trio are Mares, Roy, and Spot. Marco is the Queen's favorite, and he used to be very jealous of John Brown. His ancestry can be traced back to the crusaders, He is what they cal! in England a Pomeranian, and at one of the revent dog shows he won the first prize, the mug 2 houer. and Spot is a fox terrier with a record of twenty-two rats in a quarter of an hour.

These canine lords have their residences with their special names. Her Majesty s dog place 1s divided into three parts, the Queen's veranda, collie court, and umbrella court. The veranda is the principal one, It is @ covered gallery around the kennel, and the Queen likes to walk there.

Each kennel has a dining room and a bed- room. The tloor of the dining room is separ- ated from the veranda by an iron graung. It is paved with red and blue bricks, and the furniture consiste of a trough, always tull of fresh water. The bedrooms have two large windows, generally kept open for the

The Paper Age.

The world has scen its irom age and its brazen age, but this is the age of paper, says the Paper Record. We are making so many things of paper that it will soon be true that without paper there is nothing made. We live in paper houses, wear paper clothing, and sit on paper cushions in paper cars rolling on paper wheels, If we lived in Bergen we could go on Sunday to a paper church, We do a paper business over paper counters, buying paper gouds, paying for them with paper mouey, and deal in paper stocks on paper margins. We row races in paper boats for paper prizes. We go to paper theatres where paper actors play to paper audiences,

As the age develops the coming man will become more deeply enmeshed in the paper net. He will onake in the morning and creep trom vader the paper clothing of his paper bed, and put on his paper dressing gewn and his paper slippers. He will walk

seating himself ina paper chair, will read the paper news in the morning paper. A paper bell will call him to his breakfici, cooked in a paper oven, served on paper dishes, laid on paper clot on a paper table, his lips on a paper napkin,

First Measurements of the Globe.

Fernel, the French physician, in the year 1ON7 made the first known attempt to as- certain the exact size of our globe. Hie modus operandi was as follows: He tirst ob- served the height cf the pole at Paris, and then travelled north toa point where the! pole was one degree higher than at the! point of the first observation. He measured the distance Letween the two stations by the number of revolutions of one of the wheels of his carriage, to which an indicator had been attached, These observations re- sulted in his declaring the earth to be 24,-

1408 Italian miles in circumference.

Measurements executed more carefully were made by Snell, of Holland, and Nor- wood of England, but it wasnot unt] 166? that Picard, under the auspices of tue French Academy of Sciences, reduced the degree ta anything like acertainty. His plan was to connect two points by a series of triangles, thus ascertaining the length of the are of « | meridian intercepted between them, tocom
