MERCIER ACQUITTED.

The Jury Deliberates but Ten Min
utes - Congratulated by Friends
The Verdict Favorably Received
Generally.
QUEBEC, Nov. An the Mercier trial
to-day the arguments of counsel were con-
oluded and the judge then charged the
jury. He said there was no possibility of
there having been any conspiracy to de-
fraud the province of 100000. What the
jury had to decide was whether or not
there was combination between Mercier
and Paoaud to defraud the Csisse d'Eoono-
mie. The jury retired and in ten minutes
retired with verdict of not guilty.
MERCER, on the announcement of the
verdict, became very pale His lawyers
and friends pressed around him, shaking
his hands and showering congratulations
upon him. Outside in the corridors hur-
rahs for the ex-premier rent the air, while
the thousands Of persons as sembled in the
streets before the court house shouted at
the tops of their voices. A few minutes
later squad of police cleared the doorway
and MERCER appeared with his lawyers.
Then the noise became deafening. Four
burly fellows hoisted the ex-premier on
their shoulders and the crowd, forming n
procession, proceeded along st. Louis
street, shouting and cheering for Meroier
and hootinR Anglers.
The procession turned down Garden
street and stopped at FIX. Lemieu4's resi-
dence, where Mercier entered. The noise
was kept up until Mercier appeared at
window and made a speech, in which he
thanked the people and said:
"The persecution I was subjected to
| originated at Spencerwood, the residence
of the lieutenant governor Of Quebec. and
position they occupied; but thank God
that the great voice of the people has
spoken and am still free man"
While Mr.. MERCER was speaking the
cheering was kept up increasingly and
cries of "hurrah for Meroier" and down
with tyrants," etc., etc., came from every
direction.
J.E. Sarte, editor of LIE Canadien, Hon.
F. Lsngler and Messrs. Greenshield and
Lenieux, two of Mercier's counsellors, also
addressed the multitude. A great demon
stration in honor of Meroier is to be held
| tomorrow.

Natural Sand Blasts.

The idea Of cutting designs on glass
by forcing sand against the surface of
plates and vessels Of that material was
first suggested by II of natures freaks,
just as hundreds of other inventions
have been. An observing young mar
who was summering on the coast of
New England noticed that the wind
storms in that section frequently gath
cred up large loads of sand and hurled
it with much force against exposed win
dow panes, and that these within a very
short time were worn through and had
to be replaced. In places where they
were protected by leaves, vines, mos
quito netting, etc, the glistening sur
face was left intact. He set about utiliz-
ing old natures hint at once, the result
being a machine which does work that
cannot even be initiated in any other
way.-St. Louis Republic.

A Mine Under the Sea.

There are in England several coal and
metalliferOus mines which extend and
are worked at a considerable distance
out to sea. But perhaps the most re-
markable submarine coal mine is that at
NanaimO, on Departure bay, beyond
Victoria, B. G. This mine is known as
the Wellington, and its galleries are
situated 600 feet below the surface of
the ocean, which mere inclOses an archi-
pelagO of islands very similar to the
Thousand islands at the head of the st.
Lawrence river. The galleries of this
pit, which are continually developing,
extend at present a length Of six miles
under the bottom Of 2le waters of the
Pacific ocean,.
Nearly the whole population of the
town of Nanai1no, amounting to nearly
1000, is engaged in the mines of the
place, the average daily wages per head
being from twelve to twenty-three shil-
lings. Liberal as this payment appears
to be the cost of living in that inhos-
pitable region is so high that the miners
can after all only just make both ends
meet.-IrOn.

The Migration of Reindeer.

The annual migration of the reindeer
from Lapland in search of food has now
become a serious matter. In the first
place, it necessitates the migration of
man, for if owners want to keep their
deer and their property they must fol
low them wherever they wander. Sec
ondly, the migrating animals travel in
snch great herds that they do not a little
damage to the meadows, plowed lands
and forests. There seems to be no stop
ping it. The deer migrate with more OF
less regularity, and within a week OF
two of the usual time a hundred thou
sand reindeer come to Tromsoe, which is
the meeting point. The n simply
see that their herds do not get away.
But this invasion of reindeer is viewed
with alarm by Scandinavian farmers,
who have their crops trampled down.
The farmer may sue for damages, but if
he obtains a Judgment in his favor how
is he to find the defendant? Some seven
or eight years ago a special law was
passed to meet the case. The country
is divided into districts, and if the own,
ers of the destructive animals CannOt be
found the district is held for the dam,
age, each family paying in proportion tc
the number of reindeer they pOssess.-J,
l.. Vance in Our Animal Friends.

There is hardly a gas, liquid or solid,
