Joggins, n. s., where he has a timber ship In
course Of construction on the ways on which the
raft was built. The plans OF the ship were de.

raft. only the ends Will be sharped and will be
Duikheaded, TO resist the action Of the waves
This ship raft will be ship rugged, with six large
masts, and Will need no tugs.
A large gang Of men has been at work for several
weeks, under the supervision OF Ii. X. Robertson,
who built the raft, hauling the huge timbers which
are being chained together into one giant bundl q.
The tinbers are by far the largest that have ever
been shipped from Nova Scotia. The work is about
nail completed, and the monster VIII be ready tC

Probable Origin Of ssBlizzard.n

From the St. Paul Globe.
The origin of the word 'sblizzard" has been tax
ing the styoogists quite severely OF late and va
rious are the hypothesis advanced Yesterday al.
ternoon Dakota man, who is naturally familiar
with the article II not with its derivation, blew
into the Globe Office and settled 1t. He produced
copy of the Lyon County Ne,cs, at Moorhead,
which credits Deacon seth Knowles, OF that town,
with the coinage OF the word. He used the SEN
tence, ut is blowing like btzardt,n which would
convey the idea that the wind Travelled like light
ming [blitzen). A German would say: 'Der Sturm
kOmmt blitzartg." From "blitzardt" 10 "blizzard'
is a very slight transition. This language was
used to describe the great storm OF January 1879
And this settles it.

greater scourge than war, peStllence, and famine

with the British government he said: .The quar-
ri about the mines was fomented by the express
ldent, truman BlancO, who Is the worst scamp
thtt ever existed Cntl English traders went
through thit district and discovered how rich IL
was IN timber and mines the natives had no idea
OF its value. SO when an English company was
formed 10 WORK the luruary mics they naturally
got the lands very cheap, but everything was done
strictly IN accordance with the laws OF Venezuela
some years ago when GuzTnan Blanco was
president, he heard or the great wealth OF these
mines and demanded a share OF the profits. The
English refused 10 accede 10 his demands and
We're told II they dld not that the deeds and char

their Titles rendered worthless. The English COM
