onor to rloat the victorIn.

Signor Balsamello, tho inventor of the
Balla Nautica, the submarine vessel with
which several successful experiments
We're performed lately at Cvita Vecchia
in the'presence of a commission appoint
ed by the Italian government, declares
that by the aid of his invention he can
float her majesty's ship Victoria ut 4
cost of less than 100000. He says that
with the Balla Nautica he can make ar
rangements for raising weights far ex-
ceeding that of the sunken ironclad. The
preparations and placing of gapnels and
chains around the Victoria would take a
month and would be performed by the
crew of the submarine ship, which has
already descended to and been maneu-
vered successfully at depths beyond that
in which the Victoria lies. The bring
ing of the ship to the surface would take
two days.-St. James Gazette.

Exiled Socialists In sIbcr,a.

A number of socialist exiles have been
located at Chita, Siberia. Our CORE
spondent tells us that. though not allowed
to leave the city, they move about freely
enough within it and in various kinds of
skilled handicraft are earning their own.
livelihood. They are in this way quite
an acquisition to the neighborhood. If
you have scientific instrument to be re-
paired or any work to be done in which
delicate manipulation and special inge-
nuity are essential. you must send for one
of the socialists.
They bear an excellent character, and
the superintendent of police in Chita
says, ''If all the people in this province
were socialists, there would be nothing
for us to do" Alas for this province, a
large proportion of its people are Of u
very different typel What Van Dieman's
land and Botany bay were to England
half century ago the Transbaikaha is

Capital punishment is comparatively
rare in Russia, and villains who would
without doubt receive the death sentence
in England or be lynched without Judge
or jury in some parts of the United
States are in this country condemned to
life banishment in Transbaikalia. Lon

The chicago FAIRS nad sraparemen,.

Either the blood sucking parasites at
the fair must be dispensed with, the dead
head leak stopped and expenses cut down,
or there must be default on the bonds
which the corporation owes. The direct
ors have outstanding five millions of
bonds and floating debt, and they have
not yet dollar to apply on the bond
payment. They have not yet paid tho
floating debt by perhaps a million, and
from present appearances will not until
late in August.
The fair is costing $500, 900 month for
operating expenses. The army of dead
heads who enter its gates is steadily in
creasing. Friday more than one-third of
those in attendance went in on passes.
The deadheads ought to be cut down at
least one-half. At least half of the police
force at the fair ought to be mustered
out and taken off the payrolls. The ex-
penses of operating the fair ought not to
be over $500, 900 per month at the very
outside. The directors must face the
music.-Chicago Tribune.
