The engineers who made the survey
of new railroad at Niagara, which
will run along the bank at the edge of
the river, claim to have discovered some
facts which will surprise scientists
When the survey was made in 1851 for
the suspension bridge it was claimed
from the surveys that the river was
higher at the suspension bridge than at
the foot OF the falls, and this theory
was accepted, it being claimed that
''the immense pressure from the falls
carried the water up hill. The pres
ent survey, which will give the first
levels ever taken through the water
line, explodes the uphill theory, and
shows that from the foot of the in
clined road to the cantalever bridge,
two miles, the inclined is feet, and
from the cantalever bridge to the whirl-
pool, little less than mile, is 54s
feet, thus giving the water the terrible
force it attains on going through the
whirlpool

LIST in London told friend that
when he and Chopin were young some
one told him that Chopin had talent
for mimicry. List said to the Polish
pianist: Come round to my rooms this
evening and exhibit this talent of
yours. So Chopin came in blonde
wig. II was very blonde at that time"
said List. Presently an acquaintance
of Liszt's came in, and Chopin went to
meet him, and took off List voice and
manner so perfectly that the man was
completely deceived, and made an APP
pointment with him for the next day.
"And there l was in the room all the
time" List remarked, laughing.

IT is q curious fact, writes La
bouchere, that when Lord Redesdale
succeeded his father in 1880 he was I'M
able to take his seat in the house of
lords for several months, as the certifi-
cate of his baptism could not be found,
the ceremony having taken place in the
house, and no legal record having been
preserved. The late Lord Chesterfield
was kept out of the house for nearly
two years through similar difficulty.

AN inmate of the Jail in Elgin,
Canada, believes herself to be "the wife
of the Lamb and a daughter of GOD"
and has made VOW to starve herself
to death. She has only taken six meals
in four weeks, and for five days has not
eaten mouthful. She has become al
most a skeleton in consequence, and an
order has just been issued that she must
be fed with tube, and forced to aban-
don her design of self-destruction.

LONDON. Dec. 1.-The Vienna correspondent OF
"The Daily Telegraph says: at is as yet un-
certain whether the Prince of Mingrclia win rule
over Bulgaria. Another candidate, the Duke OF
OldenbuIg, has already been mentioned, AM it is
thought he would be acceptable to Bulgaria.
Russia will not reccde from her refusal to rccog-
nize the Sobranje and the Regency The Porte
has endeayoIcd TO mediate between Russia AMI the
Bulgarans with the suggestion that the modiiica-
ti0n of the Regency should be left to Turkey 1he
Bulgarians declined the offer and now there are
reports that Turkey intends to occupy Eastern
Rumelia in accordance with Russian views. In
Vienna this is regarded as q mere empty threat
1t is not believed that Russia would permit the
Turks to return TO the country from wmch
Russia herself drove them at the cost OF a SAN
culinary war Turkish occupation OF Eastern ku-
mclia undertaken against the will of the Bulgar-
ians would undoubtedly be the signal for gen
cral conlagration in the Balkan Peninsula fatal
in its consequences to the Turkish empire. The
mediation of the Porte is not expected to lead to
any practical result Gadbaw Pacha has expressed the
opinion that foreign military intervention would
be required to restore order in Bulgaria. 1t was
not apparent until lately that the Sultan was
really dis osed to play so completely into Russia

influence had lost so much ground at Constantl-
