ry, when two mighty nations became as one
family around one hearthstone through its
sympathies with one man,-and through the
feelings of the man, ROBERT BURNS, felt their
brotherhood with all other men.
Need tell you, how on the evening of the
25th, as We thought of what was then passing
elsewhere, our poetry and song.loving home
family were led as it were involuntarily, to
draw closer to each other through the sweet
flow of kindred sympathies, thus forming,
in secluded farm house, "anong the un-
trodden ways" one tiny link in that great
electrical circle Of thought and feeling then
moved throughout the length and breadth of
the land, in harmony with the spirit of
Scotias sweetest bard
No it was not alone in mighty Cities, and
in high places where dwell the great sons OF
earth, that was felt the sweet, kindred chords
of feeling which make us in love with him
who sang so sweetly of "Mary in Heaven"
and "Bonnie Jean," and the DAISY" nor
was it needful that a hundred-tongucd BRr-
ANT or an EMMERsoN should move US
towards him, for in every little cottage on
the roadside, in forests deep and green, and
in every place where lives and breathes
maiden or laddie, who has once heard
(who has not p the quaint song of "Auld
lang syne," or the more touching ballads Of
Bonnie Doom" and "Afton Water" then
and there was heart that went out towards
Scotia's dear nature-loving bard. Yes, for we
all have our Mary in Heaven" and Bon
ME Doon," and "Afton Water"
BURNS had heart large enough to enable
him to feel his brotherhood with all man
kind; and his soul was so true to Him, in
whose image he was created. that he recog-
nized this brotherhood, and in loving kindness
embraced all Gods creation. "God in truth,
"brcathea into him, IN larger measure than
into other men, that lovc ,chich constitutes his
oun essence, and made him more than other
men hriag souls Never were words more
truthfully spoken, than were these by BRYANT
OF his brother Poet; and we wish for ROBERT
Burns sweet peace in the land of Spirits,
and beautiful Immortality among men. The
hundrcth year will never come in the which
he shall be forgotten, for" as Wilson has so
cxqnisiteiy said, "lis songs slip into the
heart, just like light, no one knows how,
filling It's chambers sweetly and silently, and
leaving it nothing niore to desire for perfect
contentment."
1t is both good and beautiful that such
man should have been born into the world,
and sincerely de y, we thank Him who, in bes-
towing the man, forgot not 10 give US hearts
with which to appreciate tue gitt.

IMPROVED MODELS FOR OCEAN VESSELS

About the time my brother and myself invented feath
erng paddle wheels in 1883, began thinking of and
drawing plans of many novel shaped vessels / then
observed tht wished to go the ocean, not up and
down the high rolling swcIls but to pass through thc
with round oval shaped iron vessel sharp at both
ends, but forming straight line top in the centre
from stem TO stern With three stacks the smoke stack

all three OF which should be sharp fore and aft forming
curynear angles to cut the air and water as they and
the vessel pass through the Tho mir stacks should
have windows of strong glass at such intervals might
be deemed cxpedent by which prospect could be OBJ
tanned in stormy weather.
We proposed. to place two of feahcring paddle
wheels nmhlships, each sle of the keel be
worked in half-cele box boxes with one third OF
