Our Canadian Friends and Enemies.
We referred the other day to IL speech
made by Sir CHARLES TUPpER, at the Hotel
Metropole in London. as reported In a
United Press despatch. in the course OF
which he boosted OF the injury already in
iiicted by tho Canadian Tory Government
on American commercial interests. and
darkly limited that "a vital blow" would
be dealt us in the near future. Some OF tho
Canadian Tory newspapers have descanted
on this speech exultantly, and have con-
strued the threat of the Dominions High
Commissioner to mean that the duties on
British goods will shortly be cut down.
while those on competitive American manu-
features will bo maintained ut their present
figures. tho object being to exclude the lat
ter commodities from the Canadian market.
We have never denied. however. that we
have friends us well as enemies In Canada.
and We have often pointed out that the
former are to DO found in the ranks OF the
Liberal party. Nothing could DO more
high minded. clear sighted. and concliatory
than an article lately published in the To-
rOnto Globe. apropOs Of the remarks i'm
puted to Sir CHARLES; TUpPER and the COM
ments thereon OF the Tory press. The Globe
declares that UPPER was talking. US he
often does. In ignorance Of his subject. IL.
when he spoke Of striking vital blow at
the United States. he contemplated q re-
duction OF duties on British wares. while
upholding the existing duties on American
goods. 1t points out that the trade between
the Dominion and the United States
amounts to only five per cent OF the vast
foreign trade OF the American Union, so
that IL the whole Of 1t We're annihilated, our
country would be subjected to no consider
able loss. On the contrary. tho Canadians
themselves would be the chief sufferers by
the spitefui experiment for discrimination
against tho United States would DO pun
ished by discrimination against Canada.
and probably by Q proclamation OF non-in-
tercourse. which. to go no further. would
wreck the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pa
cifio railways.

The Maid and the MARQUIS.

The Marquis of Ailsa, whose recem

doing missionary work in India, comes
of very old and aristocratc family
which dates rs far back rs 115O, whose
grandson had grant of the country of
Carrick from Neil, Earl of Carrick. The
story of the wooing is quite romantic.
The heroine, VINO had been to India in
connection with the Zienna mission, was
returning to England on a Pacific and
Oriental steamer when she met the Mar
quis, who was fellow passenger. She
had been very active in nursing some of
the sick on board, and the MARQUIS soon
became interested in her. Intcres.

after reaching England, however, the
marriage was duly celebrated, and the

TOWARD the Dawn

cording to Mr.. Flinders Petrie, have re

mud-brick buildings. These heaps of
ruined walls and earth and potsherds
rise even to eighty feet high in some
places, but other ancient sites might not
attract notice on the open desert. The
higher the mount the longer the place

Rain a Cause of Lightning.

It's popularity supposed that the sud-
den downpour of rain which generally at
once follows heavy lightning flash is
caused in some way by the fash
itself. OF course, this is known no, to
be the case; and in view of the consider
atoms above presented it is quite possible
that the sudden increased precipitation
may be the real cause of the flash Mt
that particular moment. BY REDUCING
the resistance (of the air to electricityl
through the striking distance, the in.
creased precipitation offers path for
the discharge which, without this in
creased precipitation it would be unable
to follow; that is to say, the electro mo-
tive force would not be high enough to
pierce the dry air, but is Ugh enough to
follow the path of the multitude of LARGE
raindrops. Owing to the greater velocity
of light, We see the flash before we see the
drops, but the latter really start their

Books for the Sailors.

A practical minded and misinformed
citizen of the Republic was heard to ex-
press an opinion not long ago that, in
stead of clocks, bronze warriors, and
services of solid silver, gifts of libraries
to our naval vessels would be of more
solid benefit to the recipients.
Libraries, of course, are very useful in
comparison with some other gifts that
are bestowed upon naval vessels by their
namesalc cities, but those furnished
each ship by the Bureau of Equipment
are complete and excellent. The books
are issued for the use of all attached to
the vessel and the list is long and
varied one. For those in search of gen
cral information, British and American
encyclopedias are furnished. For those
Interested in astronomy and mctcorology,
various works on that science are pro
vidcd. The young Farraguts can find
food for reflection in the various works
ON navigation, seamanship. and naval
and military history. Numerous works
on photography, geography, natural
history, chemistry, naval construction,
ordnance, and so on, arc available for all
seeking information in those directions.
For lighter reading there arc travels
and explorations, biographies, memoirs
and a number Of others which are not on
the regular allowance list, but which are
issued on special requisition. There are.
all told, about 500 volumes supplied to

Water as a Dlsin rectant.

1t is fact that appears to be not gen.
orally known, perhaps because it may not
be generally credited, that pure, fresh
cold water is one of the most valuable
OF disinfectants, inasmuch as it is pow
erful absorbent. Every sick-room should
have large vessel of clear water, fire..
quently renewed, placed not far from the
bed, or even beneath it. This absorbs
not only much of the hurtful vapor. but
by its evaporation it softens and tcmpcrs
the atmosphere, doing away with tho
dryness which is so trying and deprcss-
ing to an invalid-or even to we'll pcr-
sons for that matter. 1t has frequently
been shown, by actual experiment, that
troubled sleep and threatened insomnia
are corrected byso simple thing as the
placing OF an open bowl of water near

Big Animals Becoming Extinct.

An article by Mr.. Dryden in the last
Proceedings of the British Geological
Society says that the days of the giraffe
are numbered. A few years ago herd
of seventy or eighty of them were often
met in various parts of Africa. MIR.
Dryden says that nineteen giraffes are
now large herd. They have been
hunted so mcrcilessly, both by natives
and foreign sportsmen, that they are
rapidly becoming extinct.
The intelligent African King Khama
has, however, taken the giraffe under
his protection and hopes to save it from
determination. He has forbidden tho
hunting of the giraffe in his large do
main, and in this way he hopes they will
multiply in his country. 1t is an inter.
csting fact that Russia has preserved the
European bison from extinction by setting
apart n forest of Lithuania for them and
permitting no one to modest them.
Recent explorers in Southwest Africa
sny that the fauna has changed greatly
during the last thirty or forty years.
DR.. Henry Schlichtcr, in paper he read
before the British Association few
weeks ago, says that antclopes, lions,
buifaloes, rhinoceroses, giratfes and othci
large animals which were met with il
abundance when the country was first
explored are no longer to be found in
any part of Southwest Africa on account
OF their ceascless slaughter by European
hunters, as we'll US by the natives since
the latter have possessed brcach-loadine
guns. The most important among these
animals, the elephant, has wholly dis
appeared from this part Of Africa, except
III the ncighborhood of Lake Ngami.
Anderson, one of the early explorers
of this region, said that 1900 pounds of
ivory could be bought at Lake Ngami
for musket. According to Livingstone,
i'll three years not less than 900 elephants
were killed near the little Zonga River
alone. How much their number has di-
minished is shown by the very small
ivory export from Waliish Bay, which
amounts to about 1900 pounds per an
mum, while in 1875 it was rs high as
81 900 pounds. The various kinds of
animals would doubtless increase again
If some protective measures were taken in
their behalf, but there are not MANY
kahmus among the important men OF
Africa who have sufficient foresight to
endcavor, in the interests of their own
people, to prevent the determination OF
these valuable animals. st. Louis Re-
