PROTECTION OF LIFE ON STEAM

Secretary has referred the subject to
the head of the Board Of Steamboat
Inspectors at New York. The plan is
as follows: "To have separate inde-
pendent water and steam gauges On a
conspicuous part Of the passenger
deck plainly labeled safety gauges,
water and steam surrounded with
q case or cases under lock and key;
the latter to be kept by the inspector,
whose duty it should be to examine
them carefully; to see to If that they
are in perfect working order, especial
ly should there be any disagreement
with the engineers gauges. They
should show by a sliding indicator
the pounds Of pressure allowed and
the minimum water-line Of safety, so
that any passenger may see at glance
when his life and limb are in danger
and raise the alarm"

"a Fat Take"

From the st. Catherins's (ont.) Times
August Ill
1t seems the great Springer fam
lily are likely to become suddenly
rich. The lawyers are at present
g working up" q case which, when
successfully concluded, will give the
heirs OF the late Charles Christopher
Springer, great-grandfather to Moses
Springer, NJ. =. P, for North Water
loo, a legacy of about $50, 600, ,000-not
a bad stake" as printers would say.
1t appears that this Charles C. Spring
er was native of the State of Della
ware, where he had large possessions.
Something over 100 years ago he leased
800 acres Of land to the Episcopal
Church there for q term Of ninety
nine years, after which 1t was to fall
back to his legal heirs. This land
now comprises the greater part Of the
City of Wilmington, and is Of very
great value. The way 1t happened to
pass into private hands we under
stand Is as follows: The trustees of
this trust, seeing that the family had
been scattered by the troublOus times
Of the Revolution, some of whom be-
ing lOyalists came to Canada, Illegally
sold this estate and left for Europe.
The heirs are quite numerous in Can
ada, many OF them quite well to do,
and they have undertaken to invesd :
gate the matter before the United
States Supreme Court. From what
we hear the matter is assuming very
practical, clear and plausible shape.
While we admit that a matter of this
kind may cause numerous hardshipS
to those who imagine they are real
estate owners, and, perhaps, have the
earnings Of q lifetime invested in
this way, we must congratulate our
old friend In North Waterloo, and his
numerous relatives, on the bright
prospect Of becoming millionaires.
We are sure they will make good use
of the money when 1t comes, which
can't be said Of many who become
rich.

Rsvages Of the Wlns Disease In
France.

The VdT, paper published at
Draguignan, Department Of Var,
gives the following important in
formation relative to the serious rava-
ges of the DltilaEerd VdStGtriE, which
for about two years has been extend
ing its devastating march over the
vineyards Of the south Of France. The
philaxera pursues its ravsges. After
having destroyed the greater part Of
the vineyards Of Vaucluse and the
Crau OF Aries, 1t advances toward US
year by year. The Department OF
Herault (tauguedoc) Is invaded at
several points, and it is not only in
the district of AK that the Depart
ment of the B0nches-du-R -Rhone Is
stricken. In several communes of
the district Of AK especially at Lam
beOe, Rognac, Mile and Eugilles-
they are beginning to recognize the
destructive effects of the terrible enc
my of the vine. Its presence was no
ticed last year. This year the evil ie
much more perceptible. 1t Is, then,
evidently approaching rs, and, ae-
cording to an appearances, Judging
from its progressive march, It viii not
be long In reaching US. Up to the
present no efhcaei0us remedy has been
discovered. Lime, tried at the very
beginning then inundations, produced
but a very uncertain effect. Coal tar
and carbolic acid cause the death OF
the worm more surely, but their en-
ployment Is not practical, and Is cost
iy. There Is yet another preservative
emedy-namely to tear up vigorous
ly the sick plants, and even not spare
some sound ones In it's neigh borhood,
