A Novel Match-ExtraOrdinar Feat
by q Canadian Athlete,

The residents of Lachine, Canada, re-
Gently enjoyed the sight of somewhat
novel match on land and water A dis
cussion arose at the tea-table of Hanna's
Hotel in regard to match of the same
kind that had lately taken place in
England. Some Englishmen present
spoke rather disparagingly of our Cana
dian muscle, and expressed the opinion
that few, if any, Canadians could per-
form the feat. Mr.. J. D. Armstrong,
our well-known amateur runner, who
happened to be present, quietly in
formed the young gentleman that
Canadian could do whatever an English
man could do, and that our amateurs
particularly could match the English.
He then offered to try the feat himself,
though lie certainly was not In good
trim, having just partaken OF hearty
meal. A match was Immediately made
as follows He armstrong; was to hop
a quarter-mile, walk quarter mile, run
a quarter-mile, ride quarter mile, and
and row quarter-mile, and all this was
to be done in "sixteen consecutive
minutes" The ground was immedi
ately measured, and the quarter-mile
marked. By the time the arrangements
were completed all Lachine turned out
to witness the exciting match. Arm
strong had the choice of running the
races IN any order he chose, and selected
the hop first. The betting before the
start was against the runner, but 1t
gradually veered round, and before he
had even hoped his quarter mile 1t was
in his favor. He accomplished his first
quarter in 2 Sc, and immediately walked
his quarter, returning in 2:4A He then
ran The quarter in l:30, and immedl-
ately mounting his horse, an ordinary
carriage horse borrowed from gentle
man who had just driven in from Mon
treal, showed the bystanders that he
was no less a novice on horseback than
on foot. He made the most OF the ami
NAL, and landed him at the end of the
quarter in 4S seconds. He had now to
run to the beach, distance o. leo yards,
to get into his boat, which was a COM
mon skifS, weighing about 800 pounds.
The water on the course was very
shallow, and his boat ran aground several
times but in spite of all these Difficult
ties he got over this last quarter mile in
500 and the whole feat in 1888, having
minutes and 30 seconds to spare.
Taxing every thing into consideration
it was wonderful feat, and one requlr-
ing great powers of endurance. The
feat was accom- plished in England IN
10.46 by person who had been IN q
regular training Tor it, and who had
every advantage in his favor. There Is
not the slightest doubt that had Arm
strong had the same advantage he could
have done il in two minutes less, ano
we would not be surprised to see hin
do it within ten minutes. Mr.. Arm
strong has not run for two years, but wt
are glad to see that his muscle has no.
deteriorated. Canada paper.

Electrical Wonders.

By the mirror galvanometer of Sir
William Thompson, which was of the
utmost importance In securing the sue
cess of the Atlantic cable, ray of light
Is reflected from a minute mirror that is
attached to magnetic needle. When
the electric current passes the magnet
is detected, and the movement of the
reflected spot of light over a scale indi-
Gates the resistance to the passage of
the current. The united weight of
mirror and magnet is three quarters of
a grain. During the experiments with
the Atlantic telegraph both cables were
connected at the American end, giving
circuit of more than four thousand
miles, yet current passed through the
whole distance in less ime than a per
son could pass across the small room in
which the experiment was made-and,
most wonderful OF all, the battery that
accomplished the result was contained
IN lady's silver tumble.

A Pneumatic Tube.

After repeated experiments, Mr.. AL
bert Brisbane, some months ago, claim
ed that he could transmit packages
through tube of any length by hol-
low sphere travelling in the tube, simply
by exhausting one six-hundreth part of
the atmosphere in the tubes, thus Gre
ating a vacuum which would cause the
atmospheric pressure at the other end
to drive the hollow sphere through the
tube with lightning rapidity.
Upon an exhibition of his calcula-
tions and experiments to the House
Committee on Appropriations Congress,
at its last session, al propriated $4,000
to construct Pneumatic tube of Mr..
BIS invention from the Capitol to the
Government printing Office, the work
to be done under the supervision of Mr..
Edward Clark, architect of the Capitol.
In accordance Herewith Mr.. Clark has
entered into contract with Mr.. Bris-
bane for the construction of the tube
between the buildings above named, by
way Of North Capitol street, Brisbane
to furnish all machinery, materials and
labor necessary for its construction, and
the proper working of it. The tube is
to be at least two feet in diameter lin
ner measurement, to be laid under
ground, and constructed of planks
treated in boiling coal tar, or some
equivalent method, to insure durabili-
ty, and hoped with iron and screw
clamps.
Mr.. Brisbane is to place in proper
condition the streets through which the
tube is to pass, and to supply all neces-
sary machinery.
The tube, as above described, will
have hollow sphere of two feet diane
ter fitted therein, the inventor claim
ing that by using a sphere instead of a
railway carriage he avoids the loss by
friction and increases the power. He
then puts an exhausting fan in the
| Capitol and another in the printing
Office, and packages to be conveyed are
placed in the hollow sphere, the air is
then exhausted by the fan at the other
end of the tube, and he claims, as
above stated, that as soon as one six
hundreth OIL it is out the atmospheric
pressure at the other end will drive the
ball and contents through the tube.
Mr.. Brisbane is now in New York, to
prepare the tube and machipery, and
when it is once here but short time
will be required to put it in position

that vast social crisis is at hand in
Great Britain; that the landed arts

the agricultural laborers of fortyfour

ADDING Poison TO PoIsoN.-There Is
no disease in which the blood is not
more or less impregnated with unwhole-
some matter, and the direct, inevitable
effect of all preparations containing
spirituous excitants is to increase the
volume of poison in the veins, and there
by aggravate and prolong the malady.
Hence it is that dyspepsia, bilious fever,
cholera-morbus, lung-complaints, gou,
dropsy, rheumatism, nervous disorders,
and cases of general and local debility,
originally mild in type, are frequently
rendered chronic and dangerous by
dosing the sufferers with the alcoholic
bittters advertised as medicine stimu-
iants. As a counterblast to the cdndrds put
forth by the proprietors of those pernicious
compounds, the plain. honest, philosophical
statements of DR.. JOSEPH WALKER relative to
the nature and effects of his CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTFRs, are doing a world of good He
has opened the eyes of the public to the i'm
portant fact that a pure vegetable tonic and
Alternative, unpt lluted by alcohol, if not an
absolute specific for every variety of disease,
is the nearest approach to it yet attained. His
VINEGAR BITTERs are unquestionably working
such wonders in affections of the stomach,
bowels, nervous and muscular system, and the
glands and respiratory organs.-[Com.
