OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 15-Robert F. Doug
lass, c. E, the commissioner appointed by
the Dominion government to investigate the
report upon the best means of dealing with
the Canadian canal system, has submitted a
report which it is understood the government
has adopted and will act upon. He thinks
the success of the st. Lawrence route depends
upon increasing the depth of water,
and, unless the improvements of the st. Law
renee water may keep pace with the con
structio1 of the Canadian Pacific railway and
the settlement of the country, the trade of the
Canadian Northwest will seek foreign chan.
nels eastward and southwark via st Pau
Milwaukee and Chicago. The necessary ap
preparation for deepening the canal to four
teen feet viii probably be asked at the next
session of the Dominion parliament

NEW YORK, Sept 15-Dr Felix O'Hare
was arrested Saturday charged with poison
ing patient On Wednesday night last
young man named Michael Lacey called up
DR.. OHare, and stated that he was not
we'll and asked for some medicine to
make him sleep. William Seymour,
Lacey's room mate who had accom-
panied him to the doctors office, says
"the doctor went into a side room and poured
out the medicine by the light of a match,
and gave it, with some pills, to him, telling
me to give Lacey one teaspoonful every two
hours. The first dose, together with two
pills, was administered as soon as they got
Lacey in his room. Lacey imme-
diately became unconscious, and
got scared. l ran for the doctor,
and when he came to the room
he trembled all over, looked hard at poor
Mike, grabbed up the bottle of medicine,
rushed to the door and poured nearly all Of
it out. Then he went TO the basin and, fill
ing the bottle with water, stuck his finger in
it and tasted it. He took the bottle and the
pills away with him. Lacey was beyond hu-
man aid, and died in few moments after
the doctors arrival" The coroner'S investi-
cation revealed the fact that Lacey had died
from shock caused by &c ute acid poisoning in
the stomach and intestineS

TURKEYS NAVAL STRENGTH,

The military contributor Of tho
Cologne Gazette observes, in IN arti.
Gle on the nnvfes of the Mcditerra
nean, that by far the strongest navas
power on that seq is Turkey. All the
fronclads Of her fleet are of recent con
etruction, and most Of them hayo
como from the best English ship.
builders; the German ironclad Koni0
Wthetn, was originally built for tho
Turkish Government. The plates OF
tho Turkish ironclnds arc from S IL to
8 inches thick 1.-TWO Of the casemato
ships have 9-inch plates), and they are
armed with 8-inch and 9-inch Wool
wich muzle-loaders, and Krupr
brcech-loaders. Turkey has four
ironclad frigates Of $3.50 horse
power and 81 guns, six casemate ships
each Of 700 horse power and 5 guns,
and three turret-ships Of 1900 horse
power and IL guns, making in all fiji
teen ironclads with $3.50 horse power
and ZIG guns. To these should be
added three ironclad gunboats Of 24O
horse power and six guns on the
Danube, and two ironclad gunboats
on the Lake Of Scutari, each with 60
horse ppTerand two guns. The screw
ships are llso for tho most part we'll
built and equipped. They consist of
Tour ships Of the line, thirteen frigatcs
and corvettes, twenty-five avisos, and
t~wenty-sevcn gunboats and coasting
vessels, besides 1O1 transport ships,
all large and mostly we'll armed. The
actual strength Of the available fleet
OF Russia on the Black Sea cannot ut
present be accurately estimated, but
the writer thinks there can be no
doubt that 1t is fur inferior to that OF
the Turkish fleet. Austria has four
lronclad cascmate ships of 3 1900 horse
power and GO guns, and seven iron
clad frigetes Of 1850 horse power and
$50 suns. Three Of these ships. how
ever, are now being rebuilt, and most
OF the others do not fulfill the require.
ments OF modern naval warfare, either
MS rcgards the thickness Of their plates
or the calibre OF their guns. This re-
mark applies even more to the italian
ironclad ships, several Of (which ore to
be sold by auction this month, in or

new ones more suitable to modern re.

could solve wonderful problems sent
out by The international Sunday school

than any scholar except little Miss

PREVENTING ESCAPE OF Hrnr

Experiments have been made IN
France to ascertain what kind OF coat
Ing best prevents the escape Of, heat
from steam-pipes. After numerous
triah It was found that chopped straw
the best, and that it reduced the
loss Of heat by radiation from tho
hare pipes sixty-six per cent. The
next best way is q pottery pipe large
enough to owe the steam-pipe and
leave an air space; tho pottery was
coated on the outside with loamy
earth and chopped straw, kepi in place
by straw bands twisted round tho pipe.
This reduced the loss sixty-ono per
cent. The next was cotton-waste.
which, wrapped round the stsam,pips
TO an inch thick, reduced the loss ffty-
one per cent. The next was waste felt
