7HE COST OF BIG GUNS.

The trials of the eighty-One ton guns
which have recently taken place in
England are reported as being con-
veniently satisfactory to the artilleriesi
but Il may be doubted whether those
who are footing the bills, the taxpayers,
will share in the officially expressed graf
ifcation. At every discharge of this
monster weapon, over three hundred
pounds of powder exploded at cost of
from one hundred and twenty-five dol
lars to one hundred and fifty dollars. To
this must be added the expense Of shell
and fuse. Then the gun itself, originally
estimated to cost $4,000, has actually
necessitated an expenditure of some
1925 OOO besides the construction of a
railway at WooIwich, a barge for its trans
portation, and several huge cranes.
Moreover the firing OF the gun at Shoe
burvneAs has had the effect Of blowing
down, or at least seriously shattering the
huts and cottages of that military set
Element, 50 that it will.nearly all have to
be rebuilt at government expense. Mean
while, on this side Of the Atlantic, we
compIacently view these rather costly
proceedings, profit by the results Of the
experiments, and congratulate ourselves
that we are not paying for them.-Scico-

POLAR ILLUSIONS.

CAPTAIN Halls Presidents Land -
has shared the fate of the continent dis
covered in the antarctic regions by cap
tain Wilkes, over which captain Ross
sailed in 1913. 1t must not be sup
posed, he adds, " that captain Hall, or
captain Wilkes either, had invented land
in these regions. In the arctic regions
the vision is easily deceived. The con-
tours of coast supposed to be have been
seen bv Hall, and the ice-bound cliffs
supposed to have been seen by Wilkes,
may either have been clouds or real signs
of lanI, but of land at a much greater
distance than was supposed. For atmos-
pheric refraction acts so peculiarly some
times in these seas as to bring into view
objects living in reality far beyond the
ordinary horizon distance. Scoresby rec
ognized his fathers ship at distance Of
more than thirty miles, when under or
binary conditions its maintruck would
have been below the horizon. The image
of the ship was inverted, it is true; but
inverted images of a distant coast line
would not be easily distinguishable from
erect images. They would be discerni-
BILE lust above TIE sea horizon at dis
tances exceeding one hundred miles I'M

THEY YALE COLLEGE COLLECTION OF
FOSSILS.

The great rewards which a vigorous
and scientific explorer may obtain in a
virgin country of recent geological age
like the great basin country of our West'
are illustrated by the results of professor
Marsh's six years of labor in this held
the expeditions under his charge have
unearthed no less than three hundred
new species of fossil vertebrate animals,
and among them are some Of the most
significant forms ever found. Those
which prove the progressive development
Of the horse are an example. The
Odontornithes, or birds with teeth, OF
cretaceous age, include TWO orders, one
of immense swimming birds, with rudl-
mentarv wings, and the other small BIRDS
with strong wings. He also found the
first remains of Pterodactyl, or flying
reptile, which have been discovered III
this country, and has collected so many
remains of reptiles that he has been able
to clear up many doubtful points abou
their structure. In the museum OF Yale
college there are are parts of more than
five hundred (individuals) Mosasaurold
reptiles, one hundred individuals OF the
new order, Dinocerata, two hundred in
dividuaIs of the Brontotherida group, be-
sides large representation Of other i'm
portant groups. Of fossil horses alone
there are over thirty species. 1t is the
intention of Prof. Marsh to rest from the
severe work of exploration in which ne
has shown such energy and had such sue
cess. Hereafter he will give himself to
the study and description Of the i'm
mense collections in the mu cam Of Yale
college, in which probably one hundred
new species remain to be described
The thorough study of this mass Of an
Gent life cannot fail to throw light upon
the extinct fauna of our country and
will probably be an important addition
to the knowledge Of life development in
general.

4 RUNNING ISLAND.

Some thirty-iiye years ago there APP
peared in the Mediterranean sea little
island, thrown up by volcanic action; it
was in fact a crater, from which steam
and cinders were still issuing, to the
height Of several hundred feet. The
spectacle was a very grand one as wit
nessel by seamen, the eruption being
accompanied by a loud roaring noise,
and discharges Of fOrked lightning with
in the ascending column of hot steam
and cinder. About four months after
this, the spot was visited by British
fHgate, having on board Walter Scott,
who was on his way 70 Malta in search
Of health. The volcanic action had 30
far ceased that he was able to land and
examine this little dependency Of Great
Britain, and, having considerable inter
est in anything out Of the common
course, he decided to do 30. Mounted
upon the shoulders of stout sailor, he
rode almost TO the top of the island,
where he found two doIphins and a robin
all dead, no doubt from the hot temper
ature. On one side steam was bubblinq
from the ground, which spread itself all
! around the base Of the island, surround
ing it ar with a CLOAK. The atmosphere
strongly impregnatad with birthstone
Was almost suGocaJing; and, If hole
was dug in the ground, it was at ono,

4 Strozg Mans Struggle 'rith the Deadly
Poison.

4 Stroag Mans Struggle trith III" Deadly
Poison.
Dan Sheppard. workman on the south
Pueblo water works ditch, at the st.
Charles, was bitten by tarantula on the
evening of Friday last, in such a manner
as to result almost fatally. On the
night in question Mr.. Sheppard was
sleeping in a cabin on the "Grayback
ranch, near where the Rio Grande rail
wav crosses the st. Charles. He had
made his bed on the floor, and had scarce
" gone to sleep when he felt something
pinch him on his shoulder and then run
across his face. He tried to catch it with
his hand. but it escaped him. Severe
pains beginning to shoot from the shout
der. Mr.. Sheppard became convinced
that he had been bitten by tarantula.
lie then ran up the track to Mr.. VI. 7.
Robinson's, about three-quarters Of a
mile distant, in the hope Of getting some
whisky to use as an antidote, but untor-
tunatelv Mr.. Robinson had no whisky on
hand. He then returned down the track
and went to the house Of Mr.. Neece, near
where he was bitten. Sheppard is a
stout, powerful man, but by this time he
was nearly exhausted. The pain had
passed from his shoulder down his left
side, until his whole body was affected,
and he was in a state of the most eXcru-
ciating agony. Mr.. Neece hurried to
Mr.. Hswards, half a mile up the st.
Charles, and informed him Of the occur
renee. Mr.. Howard Immediately mounted
his horse and galloPed to Pueblo, eight
miles distant, for supply Of whiskys
In the meantime Sheppard returned to
his cabin, and in a short time, from the
action Of the poison, he became almost
insensible, and his body, head and limb
became frightfully swollen In just TWO
hours and a half from the time he was
bitten, Mr.. Howard arrived with the
whisky. The poisoned man was now in a
very critical condition, unable to move,

Although it be quite possible that the
rumors Of new Fcnlan raid are some
what exaggerated, it is highly probable
that they are not altogether without
foundation. The duty of guarding the
frontier may be safely left in the hands
Of Gen. Smyth and the militia athiscom-
mand. The Feuians can expect, and
will receive no quarter They come
simply AZ "a gang Of ruhians, TO rob and
murder, and may reckon on receiving the
treatment that is dealt out to robbers
caught red-handed in the act Toronto

WHEN TO BE IDLE.
general.

There are undoubtedly seasons and
periods when it is wise to wait-when it
is not worth while to commence any un-
dertaking, great or small. There are
studies which it is not worth mans
while to take up, pursuits which it is
not worth his while to follow, minutes
and hours which it is not worth while to
fill with an occupation. No doubt we
have our peculiar notions on this head.
It does not seem to us worth while to
read at dinner time or out Of doors, or to
set ones self to learn a language in re-
curing spare moments; these acts come
under the same category of virtue with
the old housewives economy Of time
which makes her sit up in bed and knit
stockings in the dark, or rethread her
needle, at infinite expense Of time and
eyesight, to save an inch Of cotton.
There are vast number of small indus
tries that are not worth the while of a
man with one settled occupation which
engages fair portion Of his time We
have not much faith in the achievements
done in odd minutes. We believe there
is usually more loss than gain by them,
and that manners and conversation both
suffer where there is this trick or think
ing it worth while to pull out some i'm
plement Of labor-pen, pencil or needle
at times when other people are content
to seem unemployed, and are only busy
in being agreeable and placing them
selves at the service Of their company.
Nothing ministers so much to Impotence
as these habits. 1t is an evidence of
thorough selfmastery when man who
knows how to use time has the sense to
recognize when time is not worth using
in any definite, ostensible way.
