WONDERS OF THE AGE.

Two Danbury (Conn.) engineers have invented an apparatus by which all the cars of train can be heated by hot air direct from the locomotive.
 A GERMAN has invented an apparatus for forcing sidewise the swell in front of fast-going ships by means of steam jets from nozzle under the water at the bow.
 A FRENCH photographer has discovered q method of obtaining the exact repro duction of a photograph by which genuine portrait under the form of marble bust Is the result.
 THE scintillometer, .the invention of a Belgian scientist, which is used for measuring the scintillation of tho stars, is now utilized by meteorologists as an aid to the prediction of the weather.
 A REGENT invention consists of fender for street railway cars run by electricity. It presents a platform ca pacious enough to receive victim so unfortunate as to be caught upon the track before car. Att slope before it is heavy four-ply rubber belting, pli- able enough to pass over paving stones and similar objects, but sufficiently rigid to prevent an arm or leg from DelnR urNWn unoer CHe leuoef.
 AN apparatus has been invented which is intended for the prevention of collis- ion in time of fogs. A large funnel is mounted on the fore part of the vessel, and turns round at the rate of five turns minute. The waves of sound caused by tho movement of another vessel arc received by a mem brane and transmit ter by means of microphone to a re- ceiver, which indicates by means of electro magnets from which point of tho compass the noise comes. These are in- dicated by white disks marking the di- rection. and an electric bell also sounds. Several receivers arc intended to be worked from the same transmitter. for the captain and also for the engine man, who could stop at once, or slow l down if the vessel was coming in the l opposite direction.

 MONTREAL, May 2O.-G Great Britain was strongly denounced at big meet ing of the Montreal Board of Trade for its action in the Newfoundland fishery question. The Board was called to meet Messrs. Green, Morrison and Powers, the Newfoundland delegates, now in Canada in connection with the French shore question.
 The Newfoundlanders demand the repeal of the modus vivendi entered into between Great Britain and France without their consent, and some time ago appointed delegation to go to Canada to secure the support of the Dominion. The delegation has been warmly received in all the English provinces, but great hostility has been aroused by their mission in the French province of Quebec, and the French denouncing any attempts to interfere with French rights in America.
 The Montreal Board of Trade contains many French members, and there was a lively time at the meeting. Great Britain was strongly denounced by the English members, and the French mem bers upheld the French course.
 The delegates said the people of New foundland demanded that the French should be got rid of in some honorable and legitimate menner, and the situa- ton had come to such point that they would not stand it any longer.
 J x. Perreault, President of the French Board of Trade, said France would not cede one iota of her rights in America, and there would be war. The French Canadians would side with France in any trouble.
 D. A. P. Watt, a leading shipper, de- nounced Great Britain. No country, he said. had suffered as much as Canada from Downing street rule. Owing to
 it Canada had lost Maine, and if tho Canadians had only done what the Newfoundlanders were now doing, Canada would still own Maine. Down ing street should be taught that 1t must pay more attention to Canadian inter ests, and he trusted the Newfoundland people would protest with all their power until they secured Newfoundland for the Newfoundlanders.
 Despite the protests of the French members strong resolutions wore passed protesting against the treatment of the Newfoundlanders by Great Britain, and l calling upon the the imperial Govern | ment to effect some arrangement
 whereby for an equivalent the fishing l privileges would be voluntarily sur
 rendered by the French Government. This action has caused great indigna-
 ton among tho French members, who
 threaten to resign from the Board.

English Newspapers Indignant Over His
 siberia-Irsland Speech.
 LONDON, May O. Several of the Libexal papers condemn Mr. Gladstone's comparison of the atrocities perps- trated by Russian officials upon exiles in Siberia with the Mitohelstown, Ire land, affair.
 The Standard says it cannot find language to adequately express its dis gust at the parallel drawn by MT. Glad stone. What can be thought, it asks, of a man who is trying to persuade his countrymen that a confused street riot can be classed with the deliberate fogging of naked women and kindred barbarities. It shocks one's moral sense to find that party leader has reached a stage of ranoor where truth, decency and self-respect are obliter- ated.
 The St. James Gazette says that in making such 6 comparison MT. Glad stone showed himself an unstrippsd and battered adventurer, sticking at nothing.

IT is gratifying to know that test case is now on its way from the highest court in Iowa to the supreme court of the United States, having for its pur- pose the determining of the real scope of the original package decision lately made by the court. A liquor dealor in Des Moines claimed the right to sell liquors which he imports from other states in such quantities as may suit himself and his customers. The local courts have decided against him. and it will be interesting to see just how far our highest tribunal is willing to go in interpreting the law in relating to inter- state commerce. There is a good deal of n,ystification and uncertainty abroad on this subject just now.
