THERE are now in use in the world
over 100000 railway locomotives, repre-
senting a 3O,0O0,OO0 horsepower. The
technical "horse-power," however, is
equal to the power of three horses.
Each horse represents the power of
seven men, so that the representative
power of the locomotive exceeds the
power of all living men.

Mr.. PALMER, an Englisman, has been
arrested at Constantinople on the
charge of being the chief of political
conspiracy. Palmer asserts that he is
innocent, that his only sin was to warn
the Turkish Grand Vizier in 1868 that
a plot was being Matched to assassinate
the then Sultan, and he intimates that
persons high in authority in Turkey
now were concerned in that plot.
Palmer left Constantinople in 1868,
fearing the personal vengeance of the
plotters whose scheme ne exposed.

QUEBEC is a city evidently doomed to
total erasure piecemeal by large fires.
Since 1916 six very destructive confag-
arations have prevailed in that city,
the last occurring on Wednesday night.
Quebec is an old and wretchedly built
city, and if its inhabitants had the en-
ergy with which the Chicasoans are
gifted, these confagrations might
prove to be blessings in disguise.
