It is reassuring to know that the marble

WAS cut, polished and set by union mer
only; and that no non-union man was 9th
erwise employed in building those elegant

The electric lighting business doesn't ap-
pear to be profitable in Canada. The
Electrical World calls attention to the
statements made at q recent meeting of
Canadian electricians, which show that out
of twenty-five companies only thirteen
paid dividends. But these figures are

nine companies using water power all but
one paid dividends, although their prices
were ten per cent. less. This is an argu-
ment in favor of water power rather than
against the electric light.

Diet, Herr Liebknecht, delivered q
vigorous condemnation of Anarch-
ism at recent meeting at Ri1dorf. An
alchism, he said, meant state of animal
brutality in which the stronger trampled

be. Parliamentary institutions were not
bad because turned to bad account by
the ignorance of voters. Indeed, they
were necessary for the overthrow of the
powers that be, and Social Democracy
alone was powerful enough to apply them
to that end. Rsvachol was let loose by
the French Minister Constans to terrify So
ciety, but in Germany there were no An
archists, and the German working classes
were too sure Of themselves to fall into
any such trap. Ansrchism was tool in
the hands of their enemies.
The old whaling bark Progress, which
has now reached Detroit on her way from
New Bedford, Massachusetts,, to Chicago,
where she and her contents will constitute,
for the benefit of the Worlds fair visitors,
a complete exhibit OF the whale catching
industry, has a remarkable history. She
has made seventeen trips around Cape
Horn, all of them successful. Forty times
has she crossed the Arctic ocean in search
of the whale and his valuable blubber. In
1869 she set sail and Joined the Arctic feet.
In 1871 terrific storms scattared the fleet

three hundred sailors, seven captains, Eve
women and three children, the survivors
of the wreck. She carries six whaleboats,
which have all seen actual service, and

at great speed by six good oarsmen.
