Avalanches Produced by Railways.

A correspondent to the London Times
records curious and altogether unex-
pected result of the tunnelling operations
In the St. Gothard is a lawsuit instituted
by the inhabitants of the ad jacent valleys,
They ue the Federal Government for
damages caused by the great increase of
avalanches which constantly thunder
down the mountain side, produced, it is
presumed, by the explosions of dynamite
more than by the vibrations of passing
trains in the lower tunnels of the rail-
way. Many witnesses, who have lived
in the neighborhood since the early part
of the century, will swear to the greatly
augmented number and force of the ava
lanches that now constantly sweep de-
struetion down the mountain. The first
hearing of this novel case was latc'v
heard before the Federal judges s..
sembled at Bellinzona We believe
there is no instance in this country of an
avalanche produced by railway service. ~

A correspondent of the Companion
recently witnessed a most convincing
oroof of the weight of the salt-laden
waters of the Great Salt Lake. A
strong gale of wind was blowing over
the lake, and driving its surface in
to low, white-capped ridges, while
along the shore the foam lay like fiat
banks of new-fallen snow III IL had
passed across a lake of fresh water
of equal extent that wind would un-
questionably have produced such an
agitation of its surface that naVl-
CATION in small boats would have been
difficult if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Salt
Lake, although driven into ridges as
lust remarked, showed a curious re-
sistance to the wind and the waves,
rising to only slight elevation,
moved along with an appearance or
iethargy that the eye could not put
notice
Yet there was an immense momen-
tum stored up in those low, heavy,
slow-moving waves. Fenturing into
the water at a point where the depth
did not exceed four feet the observer
found that it was impossible to stand
against them. Their sheer weight
swept him resistlessly along.
The curious buoyancy of the water,
containing twenty-five per cent. Of
salt in solution, increased the help
lessness of the bather. He was not
submerged, as sometimes occurs in
the Atlantic breakers, but was lifted
and carried like a cork.
1t would probably have been im'
possible to dive through an on-com-

by bathers along the Atlantic coast.

Canada has an important Chinese
question. The Canadian Parliament in
1885 enacted a law imposing a duty of
$50 upon all Chinese, with certain ex-
ceptions, who entered the Dominion.
Tho number of Chinese to be landed
from one vessel was also limited. It
is now stated that the validity of the
act is so strongly questioned that a
Chinaman will test it before the Su-
preme Court. The act is held to be in
violation of the treaty between China
and England, or at least opposed to the
spirit Of the treaty. Should the act be
declared irregular, Canada will have
to refund "a considerable sum of money
rncnived in admission tnNes.

a LIBERAL FAKIR.
He Takes Pleasure I'm Giving His
Goods Away.


A game of throwing sprat to catch
mackerel" was played in court oil
Green street the other day, and the taklr
who played it was the centre OF crowd
which seemed perfectly dazed. He was
actually giving money away. The peo-
pie could not understand it; neverthe-
less, they did not miss the opportunity
of getting little wealth easily.
"There you are, gentlemen" he said.
"Here a quarter Who gives me
twenty cents for it, Come on, now,
good money. don't be afraid! I'm the
man that sold guineas on London bridge
for penny and couldn't sell one. Who
takes it2''
Nobody seemed at first to understand,
but presently one man handed up twenty
cents and got the quarter.
Before the crowd could complete an
examination, to see if it was genuine,
the fakir shouted:
'Here's the twenty. Who gives fifteen
for it.n
This was another surprise, but it was
not long before a man made the trade.
Then fifteen were sold for ten, and SO on
until the fakir gave the last cent away,
talking "lke house afre" all the time,
and occasionally remarking: 81 don't
covert money. | give it away. l'm
the fellow that's driving the fakirs out
of business"
Then he fshed something out of his
bag.
Heres watch, " he said; "a watch
ought to be worth fifty cents if it's worth
anything. Who gives me fifty cents?
Nobody? All right! Who wants it! I'll
give it away!'
A man in the crowd got it.
''Here's another watch. Who wants
it? Won't somebody give me fifty cents
for it!'
A man handed over the money, but
the fakir spurned it, saying; "Ilere,
take your money. Take the watch. I'm
giving things away"
Another watch was brought forth and
and offered, money produced and not
accepted. Still another.
"Who wants it 2" asked the fakir
again. A young fellow offered fifty
cents.
81 guess I'll keep this for luck, said
the fakir.
Then he gave another away and kept
on doing so, occasionally accepting the
money and keeping it 'for luck"
In a few minutes he was doing brisk
business and money was changing hands
at a great rate.
"Iere's a ring, solid brass, but its got
three tiers of gold on it. 1t ought to be
worth cent, and if you're smart you
ought to make dollar on it. See! It's
got '18-carats' marked on the inside
He sold the ring-sold lots of them
then began to throw triukets in hat
"Who buys the lot ~ lie asked.
Nobody wanted to bid.
He held up a quarter and dropped that
into the hat; nobody wanted to buy. He
dropped in a fifty-cent piece. Somebody
purchased the lot for half dollar.
Put it right in your pocket and look
out for more bargains" said the fallir,
and the people secreted their purchases
from the eyes of curious crowd.
He sold trinkets, money and everything
else; the people seemed astounded by
his liberality and spent their money.
After a while number of his best
customers began to look thoughtful and
then sneaked off and examined their
purchases. One man, who had appar-
entity received seventy five cents and
hatful of trinkets for half dollar found
the trinkets and two cents. The seventy
five cents probably went up the fakir's
sleeve. He had given away 81 and made

Seven Wonders of Corea.

A Chinese paper describes the seven
wonders which Corea, like unto other
Oriental countries, possesses, and which
played a conspicuous role in antiquity.
The Corean ''wonders" consist, first, OF
hot mineral spring near Kin Shantao,
which is capable of curing sickness and
der is the two wells, one at each end of
the peninsula, which have the peculiar
Characteristic that when one is full the
other is empty. The water of the one
is intensely bitter. that of the other has a
pleasant and sweet taste. The third
wonder is q cold cave from which there
issues constantly an ice cold wind, with
such force that a strong man is not able
to stand up against it. A pine forest
which cannot be eradicated constitutes
the fourth wonde.. No matter what in
jury may be done to the roots the young
trees spring up again like the ph@nix
from its ashes. The most remarkable,
however, is the fifth wonder-the famous
lowering stone-which stands, or rather
appears to stand, in front of palace
erected to its honor. This is a massive
rectangular block, free on ali sides.

can draw cord underneath the stone
from side to side without encountering
any obstacle The sixth wonder is hot
stone which has been lying from time
immemorial on the summit of hill and
evolving glowing heat. The seventh
Corean wonder is a sweating Buddha.
This is guarded in great temple, in
whose court for thirty yards Oh all sides
not a single blade of grass grows. No
tree, no flower will flourish on the sacred
spot, and even wild crearesut are careful
not to profane it.

Mrs. Molesworth, who writes a
moving article in the volume en-.
titled "Woman's Work." concerning
the necessity of obtaining "fun, food
and fresh air" for all classes Of
children, says that there are among
London's poor thousands of little
ones who never had toy.
Yet still the Child's instinct to

practical obstacle, and there is true
story Of one little sufferer from
chronic disease whose only playthings
were the spots of damp on the wall
beside her bed. She played they were
real and alive; she gave them names
and imaginary qualities.
Another true story shows how far
the little candle Of a wise and loving
word may throw its beams. a
teacher at d sunday school for Lon
don's poor was trying to impress up
on her little pupils some idea of the
real meaning Of giving.
Whatever it may be-" she said,
"our Offering to God should be OF our
BEST Of what we prize most"
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature con1ded her Offering to the
teacher; it was a carefully tied
package, containing few grains OF
rice. This was her most precious and
perhaps her only treasure.
