The amount of water passing over
Niagara falls has been estimated at 10O,.
100000 tons Per hour, and its perpen-
edicular descent maybe taken at 15G
feet, without considering the rapids,
which represent a fnrther fall of 100
lest. The force represented by the yprin.
reipal alone amounts to 16s 800, 900 horse,
power. an amount which if lit had 10 he

expenditureof mot less than a66j 900 900
ttons,oi coal per annnm, taking THE CON
sumption ot coal at fonr pounds per

all the coal raised throughout the world
would barely suffice TO produce the

Medical Evidence
TUhurch Union

/ 1T will be remembered that MIR
Dwight died q short time back with
heavy insurance upon his lie. Thu
Offices involved have had the body ex
hun1ed to have a denomination into
the causes of his death. "A journal
touching on this subject, truly observes
that recent appearances of the medical
profession in public have not been such
as 10 impress the people with any great
respect for the iefiniteness of medical
science or the accuracy of medical art,
and those who call upon doctors from
time to time to come in and help them
out of trouble, will not find great com
fort in tine story of Mr. Dwight, who in
life and death has passed through the
hands of at least a dozen doctors and the
cause of whose taking off is yet 90 unS
yeertein that one argues he is hanged and
another that he had q fatal chill. Yet
those were famous doctors, more or less,
not cobscure quacks, such as come up
occasionally on trials in the rural dis
:tricbs. 0Oae was for years health officer
of the port OF New York; another is es-
pecially esteemed for his pathological
knowledge, and three are reputable
practitioners at Binghampton. Upon
an examination of Colonel lDwight's
body there were found: (l) Chronic
Inflammation of the membrane of the
brain, (2) chronic inflammation of the
stomach, go small debilitated heart,
"a bronchitis, (5) ,eongssted and oede-
matous lungs, Is neongestionof the liver,
I'd congestion of the kidney, f8) aenlarg-
ed and softened spleen, (9) evidence of
recent pieurisy, (l0) evidenced recent
apoplexy, and appearances of fatty de-
generation lie several tissues. And yet
DIR. Swinburne, who assisted at the
autopsy and signed the statements re-
counting the above facts, says: 80 AL
the organs in Colonel Dwightss bsdy
were healthy" One doctor holds that
he died of tcongestive chilis;; another
that he died from paralysis, and another
thar he was strangled with % cord.
People may well shndder at the necessi-
tycof calling in the aid of medical adj
vice, for If six doctors, after Cdissecting a
body, can not determine the seat of dis
ease, tits certain they would he unable
10 malxeia proper and accurate diagnosis

dered would he resultl0f guess-work. III
that mo man about to commit
suicide TO lsiefraud insurance companies

Three persons were present at Colonel
Dwights death, his vile, the hotel
keeper and an attendant. Iflhe died by
these mustlhaye been aware of
the fact and aecomplices TO the deed.

the law of love was given as princi-
pie and spirit which should rule the
Christians life, and the righteousness OF
the Christian is TO be measured by the
fidelity with which he adheres to this
supreme standard. In this new dispen-
safion breach of the law of love lie ain
equally with the violation of the letter
of the Jewish Law. Apply this principle
70 the home lie of the Christian, and
you at once touch the root lot the diff
ficulty In domestic infelicity. The hus-
band or the wife who continually commits
acts OF discourtesy m the privacy of the
mouse circle, or indulges habitualiy in
cross words, or who persists in thought,
iessness or neglect, is guilty of sin equally
with one who breaks the Sabbath, and
perhaps in the eye of God has committed
the deeper wrong. Certainly such a ONE
s not living the Christian life, since the
life is not animated by the spirit of
Christ. For tine fruit OF the Split is
love, JOY, peace, long suffering, gentle-
ness, goodness, faith meekness, temper

Let these blessed qualities be enshrined

of the new devotion, provided that the

Love. Failure in TIL, work is failure
in the christian life, and should be
recognized while success is worth more

The effects of the work of Christ are
even to the nnbelieyer indispntable and
historical. 1t expelled cruelty; it
,cnrbed passion; 1t branded suicide; it
punished and re .,ressed an eexecrable
infanticide; it drove the shameless i'm
pnrities of heathendom into o eongenial
darkness. There was hardly q class
whose wrongs it did mot remedy. 1t

it protected the captive; lit nnnsed the
sick it sheltered the orphan; iteIeyated
the woman 1t shronded aswith a halo
OF sacred innocence the tender years OF
the child. In every region of life its
ameliorating influence was felt. 1t
changed pity from a vice into virtue.
1t elevated poverty from q curse into a
beatitnde. 1t ennehled labor from q
rvulgarity into q dignity and q duty. 1t
sanctifed marriage from little more than
q burdensome covenant into little less
than q blessed sacrament. lit revealed

Of charity, and broadened the limits of

wherever its tidings were believed, 1t

Zulu.Land,

Zulu-land is said to be a terrible place
for military service for both men and
horses. The Pail Mall Gazette says
Not only are the Zulus themselves yet
mole terrible fellows than our fancy had
already pictured them, possessing every
physical and mental justification neces-
sary to the formation of perfect light
infantry, but they, naked savages as
they are, seem to rush unhurt and uniln-
peded through scrub of the most terrible
description. Four out of every FIVE
bushes bear thorns which q European
can only hope to face when clad in " the
best moleskin." The name of these
thOrns, we are assured, is legion" and
they are as formidable to white men as
they are apparently harmless to the
Zulus. But if Zulu-land is an ugly
place for men, it is far worse for horses
what between "tsetse fly, snakes, horse
sickness, poison root and change of Diet
above ground, to ssy nothing of "ant-
bears and ratels below it, not 10 per
cent. of those animals will be alive two

Attempted Assassination of the Gar.

The would>be assassin of the car is
undergoing examination. The full off
cial account of the affair says: Toward
eight O'Clock, as the emperor was taking
his customary walk, respectfully dressed
man, wearing a military cap with a
cockade, advanced toward him, and. as
the emperor approached nearer, drew a
revolver from the pocket of his overcoat
and fired four shots at him. the assassin,
before submitting to his captors, fred
another shot, slightly wounding person
iR the crowd. The great throng of peo-
pie which had assembled enthusiastically
cheered and congratulated the emperor.
who thanked them for their proofs of
fidelity on such a painful occasion. He
said he knew he had the support of all
respectable people; he hoped that God
would grant that he might complete his
task, which consisted in promoting the
welfare of Russia.
The emperor. after making the forego-
ing speech drove to the palace without
escoct. He has not suffered the least i'll
effect from the attempt upon his life.
He Efterwsrd drove, still without escort,
to the Kasan cathedral to return thanks
lor the preservation of his life. When
receiving the congratulations of the off
Gals OF the empire st noon, the car was
so much overcome by his enthusiastic
reception as to be unable to speak for
some minutes. On recovering from his
emotion he said: This is the third time
God has saved me-" 1t is supposed that
the emperor's assailant took poison before
his attempt, as he vomited after his
arrest. Poison was also found under his
finger nails. Antidotes were administered.
1t is thought that he was an employee of
the ministry of finance and an agent of
the Internationals. The sultan and sIl
the European soyereigns telegraphed
their congratulations.
The emDeror's assailant gives his name
as Skolof. He is a retired iunctioGary
of the ministry of finance, and is about
thirty years of age. He fred at the en-
peIor within two PAGES. After ths first
shot the emperor approached Skolof, who
fired again and then ran. The various
accounts given as to the exact number
Of shots fired are conflicting. An officer
Of the gems d drBlie. with drawn sword,

Wonders of the Yellowstone.

The wonders of the Yellowstone are
still coming to light. Mr.. 2. w. FORTS
the superintendent of the Yellowstone
National park, recently delivered lee
ture on the natural curiosities OF that
region. in which, as reported in the
Scientific American. he described. as one
the most notable, q mountain and road
NJ glass. This mountain, which is or
nure obsidian or volcanic glass, is near
the foot of Beaver Lake, and rises in
columns and counters huge masses,
msuy hundreds of teet high, from his
sing hot spring The steep, smooth sur
face, was, of course, a barrier to the
progress of explorers, not even an Indian
or game track being discoverable over IL.
Great fires were built on the glass, TO
thoroughly heat and expand it, after
which cold lake-water was dashed on IL,
causing the glass to suddenly cool and
large fragments to break OF from tne
surface. These were broken into small
pieces With sledges and picks, and thus
was constructed the only glass road on
the continent. This glass Is very hard,
and Is used by the Indians for making
uneoualed arrow heads, weapons end
tools, The eastern palisade OF the grand
can m of the Gibbon river, Tor about two
miles aIso consists of vertical pillars,

THERE is terrible anime in many
villages of the Nile. Where it is worst,
nothing seems to have been done. At
Belyaneh, Bagour Hou, and such towns,
the people have been and are starving
in utter neglect. Sitting in the fields
and the open streets, many of them have
been supporting themselves Tor days on
sorrel and the foul refuse from the cane
factories. All human feelings are lost,
and in trying to distribute few morsels
of bread at Belyaneh, the stronger tore
it from the lips of those weaker than
