Area of the Canadian Dominion.

In the last issue of the Statisti-
cal Year Book of Canada, com
piled by Mr.. Sydney Z. D. Roper
of the statistics branch of the de-
partment of agriculture, we find that
the total area Of the dominion is COM
puted to be 1856, 1888 square miles. In
this estimate 1886 square miles are
assigned to water and 1885, 47 to land
surface. The table which yields this
total is said 20 be an entirely new one,
having been specially prepared at the
request of the compiler of the Year

The Progress of HnlannL.

It is very interesting fact that the
world language, Voiapuk, is not only
coming TO be spoken conversationally by
its enthusiastic votaries, but is to be
made medium of interlingual commu-
nication at the Worlds Columbian fair.
A complete record Of progress made in
spreading Volapuk since that delightful
national convention of its votaries was
held in Boston, considerably more than
year ago, would astonish all but the
few who keep closest watch on the move
ment. A significant circumstance is
that recently the Young Peoples Society
Of Christian Endeavor of the Peoples
church, Boston, formally adopted Vola-
puk as study for that organization,
and class of forty members expected
to double shortly was formed, TO meet
each Monday evening in the church's
reading room for instruction.
Other noteworthy instances are as fol-
lows: The people of Newton, quite at
their own request, are to have a.lecture
on Volapuk under the auspices of a
ladies' association there. Salem and
Gloucester are to have lectures in Janu-
airy, and the interest all over the coun-
try is similarly manifested Newspaper
lessons, published simultaneously all
over the maritime provinces, Canada
and the United States. have been given
weekly since Oct. 10. The students
write out the exercises of the lessons and
send them to convenient points, as desig-
mated, for annotation, and immense
numbers of young and old of both sexes
are following the lessons.-Boston Ad-

There's an uurivaled exhibition Of
canine equestrianism to BE seen on the
streets of Chicago almost any day,
which has fully as much or even more
real merit about it than one will see In
similar displays that are made in aay OF
the greatest shows on earth" The
performer is an exceptionally inteIli-
gent water spaniel, and he Is d rider OF
skill. His act consists, in a word, OF
riding delivery wagon horse whose
driver usually enforces pell NELL gait.
The spaniel sits his mount with his
hind feet on the horses collar, or where
the collar would come, and his front
feet, one ahead of the other, on the mar
row ridge of the horses neck, his claws
clutched in the name. The faster the
horse goes the better the dog seems to
like it, Judging from his many barks
and lively way in which he ways has
tail. The sudden rounding Of corner
never catches the plucky little animal
off his guard, but at such times he will
"curve in" with apparently the intelh-
gence Of the most accomplished circus
rider, and so never loses his balance.
He has fallen but once Ill the two years
that his owner says he has been riding,
and that was when the horse came near
being killed by cable car.
The horse never goes so well az when
carrying the dog, and that of course
means that horse and dog are warm
friends. Woe to the person or animal
who bothers either of them when the
other is around, for between the kicking
of the horse and the biting Of the dog
the two old chums make it exceedingly
unpleasant for intruders. -Chicago TriO-
