CHlLIs proposed international mining
and metallurgical exhibition is 10 Ice
opened in September, 1894, instead OF
April. a. originally intended. The prin.
cipal exhibits from the United States
will consist of mining machinery. Appli-
cations for space should he made TO the
CHILEAN Legation at Washington. The
exhibition is to be held at Santiago, the
capital Of the country.
A political international future
is undoubtedly in reserve for barbed
wire, If all nations follow the example
given by Turkey and Servia. These two
countries, which have been So often
at wal against each other during centu-
ries, and whose frontiers are not indi-
Gated everywhere by natural obstaCl,s.
have agreed 10 mark those frontiers 10y "a
continuous line Of iron wire.
If n man is pinned down in a railway
wreck, without hope of escape, and
suffering fortunes, is it not humane and
proper 10 give him c~hloroform? Prof.
b. q. Wilder, of Cornell l'niv,r RS ", has
no question. lie advises placing a sup.
ply of chlorolorm in n tin can
In every car, for use ia Just
such emergencies. He does not in
so many words advocate Il fatal dose, hut
says that enough to deaden pain may he
given, and the application KEEP, up as
long rs NECESSARY.
DIFFErENr ideas exist in England
from those prevalent in Germany with
regard To the attitude to be adopted 10y
'o!diers toward escaping prisoners.
Whereas Emperor William some time
ago aroused much unpleasant comment
10y promoting IA corporal who had shot
1t and killed in Il crowded street an
escaping prisoner, at Woolwich a sergeant
and "A corporal have Just been reduced 10
the ranks and sentenced to "A months
Imprisonment for having discharged their
carbines, without injury To anybody, in
n public thoroughfare at a dcserter who
had broken away from them.
The time is near at hand when the
muCh-talkcd- of possibilities of Niagara
Falls rs a power producer will begin TO
manifest themselves, says the Toronto
World. February | is set down as the
date when the water will bc turned ON
the turbine that in turn will cause n dy-
name TO revOlve and give forth 5000
horse power for distribution along the
electric wire. BY far the largest dynamo
that has MS yet been operated is the one
that generated power for the Intramural
Railway Company at the Worlds Fair.
This generator developed 2,lC0 horse
power and was looked upon as a marvel
10y those who saw il. But, compared
with this machine, the dynamo that will
begin to turn on February | next is n
monster. 1t will develop about two and
"A half times as much power. We have
spoken of but one electrical monster.
The company that has this matter in
hand will install ten Of them, one alter
the other, last assHon ms they are needed.
They have the tunnel and other necessary
works completed fer developing 100, 000
horse power. The day that the first in
stallment Of tins great force will become
available for mechanical purposes will
be an eventful one in the worlds his
tory. Especially cvcntful will il be TO
the cities within "A two or three mile
limit Of the falls, for it is the expccta-
tion Of the company to distribute
it, power over this OF even a larger ter
ritory.
