II has been suggested that the President
would soon begin TO model our Indian ser
vice after that OF Canada, where little or no
trouble Ii experienced In dealing with the
Indians. The main difficulty In the way
seems to be that We could not suddenly rem
der the Indians selfsupportIng as most OF
them are In Canada, because OF the la * OF
game on our reservations. In Canada they
have no reservation system, but the Indians
are allowed to roam about at will, support
ing themselves by hunting and fishing, there
being still an abundance Of game In the for
ests and plenty OF fish In the streams. The
Indian In held smenable to the law In Cana
da, and white men are tried and punished
for offences committed upon an Indian.
There are, however, many features OF the
Canadian system which We might adopt to
advantage.

DevOured by a Bear.

A shocking story of devouring by
bear comes to us from Fredericton
Junction An old man, named Thomas
Anderson, on Tuesday last was chop
ping wood in Hardwood Ridge. Not
returning at the usual hour for dinner,
the people with whom he boarded felt
some anxiety for his safety, he being a
very feeble person. Night came, but
with no tidings Of the missing man. The
following day the settlement was alarm
ed and strict search instituted, reveal
ing the fact that the old man had been
devoured by bear. Bears footprints
were found on the ground, which was
beSpattered with blood, and near the
foot of a tree were found the boots of
the unfortunate old man with part of
the legs in them. Not far from this was
discovered a portion Of his head dread
fully mutilated. From the footprints,
plain in the soft soil, and the blood
along the tracks, there is no doubt but
the unfortunate man became d prey to
a bear.-St. John (N. b. Freeman.

Extensive preparations are already
being made for the National Congrega-

18th of October at Detroit. Two lead
inc topics have been selected for discus
sion: Education and "The Re-

last Three Years" Under the second
topic Moody's work will be discussed;
also Sunday-school work, woman's
work, and the fellowship of the churches.
Speakers are appointed to deliver writ
ten essays on each of these topics. As
the proceeding of such a council are
only deliberative and advisory, not legiS-
lative or judicial, the gathering will be
nothing more than a grand pow WOW.

it not be that this system, with its mu-
tual advantages and large profits, will
prove to be the germ of Il new social and
industrial philosophy among the farm
crs of these great plains, which, instead
Of being the barren regions they have
long been supposed to be, are proving
to be the most fertile and profitable
farming lands in the country, and which
in few years will change the home Of

Protection Against Lightning.

Mr.. Nahum Capen has contributed to
the Boston Post communication con-
cerning lightning-rods, received by him
several years ago from Prof. Henry, of
the Smithsonian Institute, whom he be-
lieveS to be the highest authority on this
subject. Prof Henry makes sugges-
tions as follows:
/. The rod should consist of round
iron of about one inch in diameter; its
parts, throughout the whole length
should be in perfect metallic continuity,
by being secured together by coupling
ferrules.
2. To secure it from rust the rod
should be coated with black paint, itself
a good conductor.
5. 1t should terminate in single pla-
tinum point.
3. The shorter and more direct the
course OF the rod to the earth the better; !;
bendings shoNld be rounded and not
formed in acute angles.
s. 1t should be fastened to the build
ING by iron eyes, and may be insulated
from these by cylinders OF glass, q don't,
however, consider the latter of much
importance.)
6. The rod should be connected with
the earth in the most perfect manner
possible, and nothing is better for this
purpose than to place it in metallic con-
tact with the gas pipes, of the city. This
connection may be made by ribbon of
copper or iron soldered to the
end of it's extremities and
wrapped around the pipe at
the other. If connection of this kind
is impracticable, the rod should be con-
tinued horizontally to the nearest well
and then turned vertically downward
until the end enters the water as deep as
it's lowest level. The horizontal part of
the rod may be buried in stratum Of
pounded charcoal and ashes. The rod
should be placed, in preference, on the
west side of the building. A rod of this
kind may be put up by an ordinary
blacksmith. The rod in question is in
according with our latest knowledge of
all the facts of electricity. Attempted
Improvements on it are worthless, and,
as a general thing, are proposed by those
who are but slightly acquainted with the
subject.
Mr.. Capen says; "He speaks only
of iron rods, probably because least ex-
pensive Rods of one-third the size,
made of copper and put up in the same
way, would answer the same purpose. ="
And he also makes some suggestions as
follows: "When any buildingis is struck
by lightning, let all the phenomena fol
lowing the event be particularly stated.
The size and situation of the building
and how occupied and surrounded. If
a house, what part. If a stable, how
occupied. If protected by rod, of
whose make, how large in diameter and
of what metal, and how extended to the
parts of the building and how deeply set
in the ground. The phenomena Of
electricity CAL not be too carefully de-
scribed, and if such descriptions are gen
orally made to the press the public would
soon acquire much practical information
that would not only be useful to all, but
do much to remove common scepticism
in respect to the Importance of well
adjusted lightning rods"
