Resources of Canada.

The Hamilton (Canadl Wcst) Spectator
gives the following estimate Of the resour.
ces Of Canada
First, the mineral wealth Of Canada is
immense, needing cnly capital to develop
it and render ii great source of national
wealth. The Lake Superior copper has
already become famous for its extent and
caun, and the Acton Copper Mines, in
Lower Canada, IS one of the richest In
the world. The iron deposits in the neigh
borhood of Lake Superior seems to be
practically inexhaustibe.
In the vicinity Of Gilbert and Chau-
dierc ri ers, in Lower Canada, have been
found large deposits Of gold, which seems
likely to conduce largely to the wealth
and prosperity of the provinces.
With the oil we'll of Upper Canada we
are all more familiar, but probably few
anon. us have any adequate idea of their
Importance The section of country en-
braccd by them is over 10000 mi.es
The quantity OF grain produced bv
Canada annually seems almost fubulous
OF wheat last year over %, 900 900 bushels
was grown; 100000 bushels OF peas ;
100000 bushels Of oats over 500, 900
tons of hay 100000 bushels Of buck
wheat; 28.0C0. 600 bushels of potatoes,
and 10, 900. 900 bushels Of turnirs. We
also produced $4,000 ,O0G pounds of beef,
shcared $500 900 pounds of wool, and
make 100000 pounds of butter The
number Of mlch cows, horses, sheep and
pigs is considerably over two mi lions
Turning to our manufacturers we find
them by no means Insignificant Lower
Canada alone contains over 1000 saw
mills and in one year cut nearly 500 oOO,-
900 feet Of lumber.
Our coast line from the Gulf Of St. Law
renee to Lake Superior is over 2, 900 miles
and besides our magnificent system OF
| railroad traversing the country in all di-
rectioas
The population Of Canada lic.ole to mill
tary duty i, about a half million, the
embodied militia 10000 men, the volun-
/ tees alone numbering some 10000.
! There are nearly three hundred news
papers in tho two Canadas, employing
1000 persons 5000 schools. educating
&c. GO boys sad girls

The important discovery that South
American dried or ierked beef can be i'm
po, ed to England and solI to the con-
sumner there at three cents per pound has
given John Bull a new sensation No
wonder: for in this thing we hGve one of
the most important discoveries of the age,
not only to the densely populated Western
nations of Europe, but to all the great
setboard cities of the United States, from
Boston to New Orleans
Over these immense fertile and inex>
hlustible pampas or prairics of those great
South American rivers, Orinoco, the Am
nzou, the faral.a, Paraguay, and their
mighty tributaries, millions Of cattle roam
at large From those countless herds for
a half 4 century hundreds Of thousands
every year have been slaughtered for their
hides and tallow, their being no market
for their beef Thanks to beef-eating
John Bull for the discovery, that the beef
of these enormous annual slaughters of
South American cattle need no longer be
given to the jaguars and vultures Steam
ships, and mordern appliances for the
preservation Of meats and Vegetables will
suggest at once to the "enterprisjng Yam
kee' new, profitable and boundless field
of trade between this country and
Venezuela, Brazil and the States along
the Plata, The Parana and the Paraguay.
This terrible civile war of ours has
made sad havoc among our cattle on both
sides They still! abound in large droves
upon the rich plains of Texas; but those
supplies for the present are limited to the
people Of Texas, and, with the close sc the
war, they will be wholly inadequate for
some time to meet The demands Of the ex
hausted Southern States east of the Mis-
sissippi.
The London Lancet rs the result Of n
scientific analysis Of this South American
beef says that it is imported in three forms
the dried, the moist and the pickled.-
"As it is chiefly the dried beef which
reaches this country" says the lancet
"our observations will refer principally to
it. Thi. kind contains about twice as
much heterogeneous matter IA is contained
in fresh beef, and hence one pound of it
may be said to be equal TO two pounds Of
the latter. This consideration reduces
the cost virtually from three pence to
three half pence (or three cents) per
pound" At the close Of its analysis the
Lancet, looking at the price, truly says
this Souh American beef constitutes n
very valuable and much desired article Of
food, for he consumption Of which an
enormous field exhi>ts in this great me-
tropolis (Lonlon) alone "-Er.

WHAT Is AN 1vCH OF RAIN-The late
weekly return of the British Registrar
General gives the following interesting in
formation in respect to rain fall
Rain fell in London to the amount Of
0,43 inches, which is equivalent to forty>
three tuns per acre. The rain fall during
last week varied from tuns per acre in
Eiinburg 70 two hundred and fifteen tuns
per acre in Glasgow An English acre con-
sists Of G,212,640 square inches; and an
inch deep Of rain on acre yields, 5,272, $40
cubic inches Of water, which, at 277 ,274
cubic inches TO the gallon, makes o.
622,5 gallons; and as a gallon of distilled
water weighs ten pounds, the rainfall on
an acre is 90 ,225 pounds avoirdunois
but ,, 2,2t0 pounds are a tun, and conse-
quently an inch deep of rain weigh. l09,-
993 tuns, or nearly l0l tuns per acre For
every one hundrcdth of an inch a tun Of
water falls per acre"

WHERE THE CoLD CONES FRoM-Our
observations Of the cold terms for several
years show that the ice wave comes down
over the central portion Of this continent,
striking our western States, and passes
over the ocean in Il south eastcrly direc-
ton Cola wave does not effect the Pacific
shore; it comes down from the Artic re-
gions upon the Rocky Mountains, and
then turnrs eastwood, go that the first
news We have Of it-days before it reache,
here-is from Minnesota, Nebraska, and
Utah 1t follows the valleys and tho
co rse Of waters, and spends itself over
the Gulf streams, where it warns again,
and rising rs it cxpends is waited back in
the upper atmosphere. This cold air cur
rent is just the opposite to the warm water
current which we call the Gulf stream
That comes from the torria zone westerly,
md is turned northwardly By the confg-
uration of the lands, as the cold air wavs

and thence runs along our coast, affecting
