THROUGH MANY COUNTRIES,
The Portrait of Remarkable Traveller
and Correspondent.

and Correspondent
Laurence Olphant, the writer, who died
recently in the residence of SIR Grant Duff
In Twickenham, Eng, was a remarka-
bic traveller, and during his youth a daring
adventurer. His first journey was to Cey-
lon, his father having been appointed Chief
Justice in 1888. Just before the Crimean
war he travelled through Russia,
His first visit to this country was made
in the capacity Of private secretary 10 the
Earl OF Elgin, who was then Governor
General of Canada. He was made Super
intendent Of Indian Affairs, and he also as
sisted Lord Elgin in negotiating the Rec
iprocity treaty Of 1852. He tired, how
ever, Of the peacefulness of mere diplo-
matte employmeuts, and began a sys-
tematic exploration of the United States
and Central America During these trips
he fen IN with Walker, the Nicaraguan
filouster, and joined his forces. he was,
however, captured before he entered seri-
Gus warfare by British man-of-war. The
Admiral in command proved TO be Oh
plants cousin. and he was released with
out much difficulty. He accompanied Omar

non.
Among the experiments which the Secre-
tary of War describes in his recent annual
report is the construction Of the largest
electro magnet ever made in the history OF
the world. During the summer Major Will
lam r. King, Of the engineer corps, being
in command of Willets Point, N. Y, con-
ceived the idea of constructing from two
fifteen-inch guns large quantity Of tor
pedo cable and an electro-dynamo, the larg-
est magnet ever thought Of The two guns
weighed together fifty tons. They were
placed side by side and connected at the
breech by pile of railway bars. Then
four miles Of insulated wire was
coiled around each gun. The armature
or bar, similar 10 the little steel
bar used with small toy magnets, was
made of fifteen soft wrought iron plates,
each eleven and half inches wide and half
an inch thick, bolted together. When this
armature was placed from muzzle to muzzle
of the guns and the electric current put
on, it required sixteen men at capstan pull
ing three-inch iron chain cable through a
pulley to remove it. Four three hundred
and twenty pound shells were suspended
from one Of the guns, and it took twelve
men twenty minutes with the cable to pull
them away. Experiments were made at
distance OF twenty-five feet from the muz-
zles of the guns by spreading on plat
form iron filings and bits of iron wire so as
to show the direction of the lines of attrac-
ton.
The bits of iron arranged themselves in
curved lines, extending out four feet from
the muzzles Of the guns. At distance Of
forty-six feet this huge magnet neutralized

Cantata Of Birds,

The cantata of birds at the First Presby-
terian church last evening was n very pretty
and pleasing affair. The church parlors
were comfortably filled with an audience
that warmly applauded the efforts of the lit.
tie warblers The cantata was under the
charge of Mrs. Warner l.. Welsh, and it was
through her efforts that the affair proved
such Il success. The cantata presented was
Harrison Mllard's "Queen of Birds" con-
sistiug of five acts. In the first scene the
queen OF birds, with her retinuc Of prettily
attired little girls appeared to consider the
best songstcr to present TO the fairy queen.
The ''birus" were attired in dresses and rib
bons beiitting the songsters represented. Miss
Ethel Clarke represented the buebird and
sang very sweetly. Miss Maggie Medrum was
the lark, and a better representative cond
not have been chosen. Her voice is very
sweet and her singing remarkably truo for
young girl. Jessie Houston and Mary Craw-
ford, attired in the garb of quakeresses, ap-
peared us wrcns, and as a lady expressed il,
were too sweet for anything Miss Flor.
erce Muir, as the nightingale, made u rcpu-
tation for herself as a young singer of musi,
cal promise, and the fairy queen, Miss Emma
Allen, awarded TO her the palm. The cantata
proved such SUCCESS that it will be repeated
tonight.

the trouble with the diplomatic corps

mittee, had become so serious that the prin
cipal members of the corps had finally
and positively refused to come. mot

Twill be in attendance at the ball with the
possible exception of the Brazilian minister,
Baron de 1ta Jupa, or, in his absence,
Senior Jose Augusta Ferrera da Costa,
secretary of legation. The trouble with the
diplomats originated in the omission by the
entertainment committee to inclose to the
foreign ministers invitations to the ball for
the ladies of their families as we'll as for
themselves"
The sixteen ladies who will dance in the
quadrille of honor at the centennial ball, ac-
cording to the Tribune, have at last been
