The FIJI Islands.

In Fiji the experience of this country
is essentially different from that which
it has passed through in many other
crown countries. Generally speaking,
colonies of this class have been for
many years burden to the exchequer:
whereas Fiji, even in it's infancy, has
proved sef-supporting. Governor Des
NRux' estimates for the ensuing year
show total revenue Of f15S, 73S. and
an expenditure of 1850 This is
very satisfactory, seeing that the reve-
nue. is not exceptionally large, but
promises to increase steadily. There
has been great development of the
sugar industry. Sir John .Gorrie lately
stated that the largest sugar mill in the
world has been erected in Fiji, and an
order had been given for another of the
same size. The export of sugar for
last year amounted to l 800 tons, but
it was expected that the quantity. would
be doubled in 1888, and quadrupled in
1854 Before the annexation took
place it was believed that the staple
production of the. islands would be cot
toRobut it now seems probable that Fiji
will become richer Maurilius, and
produce sugar on a larger scale. One
remarkable fact is that there is not 4
single English soldier, except the Gov
ernor's Aide-de-eamp, in the colony.
There are a. few inspectors and SER
geants Of police, but the Government
relies Tor the maintenance of order upon
native constabulary force, at an an
nuap cost of a little more than f2,0o0.
1t is also satisfactory to learn that five
times as much public money is spent
in maintaining hospitals and an efficient
medical staff as in keeping up iails.
Although Mr., Des yeux shows deter
mination to check too sanguine view
OF the prospects of the colony, he yet
anticipates that the annual value OF
exports, which up to 1880 never got be-
yond f177,000, viii in. 1888 exceed
ESQ. 600, and in the following year. by
another bound, reach nearly E5O0, 600.

The Northern boundary.

The whole of this boundary, from
Michigan to Alaska, has been distinct
ly marked by the British and American
Commissioners; and some interesting
details have been published of the way
in which this difficult task was accom-
pli5hed.~ The boundary is marked by
stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars,
earth mounds and timber posts. These
structures vary from five feet in height
to fifteen feet. and there are 3S5 of them
between the Lake of the Woods and the
base of the Rocky Mountains. That
portion of the boundary which Ties east
and west OF the Red River Valley is
marked by cast-iron pillars at even mile
intervals. The British place one every
two miles, and the United States one
between each British post The pillars
are hollow iron castings, and upon the
opposite faceS are east, in letters two
..nches high the Inscription, ,.Conyen-
1878" ~ " - . 'ii''f7slI'
The average weight Hof each pillar
when completed Is eighty-fi pounds.
~ iuh regard to the wooden posts. the
Indians frequently cut them down for
iiIeL and nothing but iron will lastvery
long. Where the line crosses lakes,
mountains of stone have been built. the
bases being in some places eighteenfeet
under water, and the tops projecting
some eight feet above the surface of the,
lake at high-water mark. In forests,
the line is marked by telling the timber
rod wide and clearing away the I'M
derbrHsh. As might well be imagined,
the work of cutting through the tim
bered swamps was very great, but It
has all been carefully and thoroughly
done. The pillars are all set four feet
IN the ground in ordinary cases.. with
their inscription faces 10 the north and
south. and the earth is well settled and
stamped about them. :. The iron posts
afford little temptation for dislodgment
and conveying away by the indians.

Busy BODIES. Among the passengers who
