IS noble charity.
 The proposed German canal which is to connect the North Sea and the Baltic seems to have directed attention in France to va rious schemes for connecting by canal the great Mediterranean seaport Marseilles with the mouth of the Rhone, thus completing in land communication with Lyons, Paris, Rouen and Havre. In 1881 the general coun- cil of the department of the Bouches du Rhone adopted resolution expressing ap- proval of a scheme for 8 canal which was to be carried through tunnel eight kilometres long. The plan was, however, shown to be attended with many practical difficulties. A
 proposal is now made by Dr. Louis Combet, deputy mayor of Lyons, to carry the canal from the port of Marseilles along the shore Of the Mediterranean to the mouth of the Rhone. It is asserted that the whole ex- pense will not exceed 50, 1000, 900 francs, and that the new waterway will very materially diminish the expense of sending goods by in land navigation from the, Mediterranean to the English Channel.
 In the best electric lamps the little horse shoe is made of bamboo, and this material
 has proved its superiority to paper in several ways. The bamboo comes from Japan in
 bundles of slips foot in length. Japanese
 bamboo is of finer quality than the Chi
 nese. It is first split into little square
 strips Girls round these off by running
 them through dies until they look like little
 broom straws. These are put in crucibles
 with graphite and submitted to white heat
 for several hours. This carbonizes them
 thoroughly. The flaments are not all Of
 exactly the same size when taken out of the
 erucib!es, and if used in that state would
 present varying resistances to the current,
 and the lamps would not be even and eco-
 nomical in their working. To make them
 uniform they are put one by one into glass
 jar, from which the air can be exhausted
 and hydro-carbon gas, the ightest of the
 products of petroleum, can be admitted. A
 current of electricity is run through the
 horseshoe fiIament, and it absorbs carbon
 from the gas until the operator sees that its
 resistance has been reduced to the regulation
 amount.

 When the Brooklyn bridge was opened many supposed that it would interfere with the profits of the ferries, and it did to some extent, but their business is now steadily in- creasing. The increased facilities afforded by this competition have not only induced more frequent passage by the population which was formerly accommodated only by the ferries, but have induced thousands to live in Brooklyn who would not do so but for the bridge
 One of the industries along the Shannon river, in Ireland, is the cultivation and cap ture of cells. The taking of forty thousand in single night has sometimes occurred but the present product is much less, owing to the drainage of the country and other in- luences. At Castle Cornell are five i'm mense tanks, in which the cells are kept alive and allowed to grow, the dead and weak ones being dipped out every morning by means of large landing nets and sold cheaply to poor people. It is during this fishing pro- cess that the inmates of the tank are seen to the best advantage, for every fin and tail are in motion, swimming upward and down. ward in one vast living mass. Eels of all ages, sizes and degrees are there. Thousands are there also in the tank, varying in weight from two ounces to twelve pounds. These latter are the well favored, juicy fellows that are converted into the delicious ''collared eel" for which Killaloe is so justly famous.
