The recent reduction in price Of
aluminium has called renewed atten-

are essential. Its price should now be
not much above that Of ordinary gun
bronze.

Sometimes a man who wants to
stop a street car snaps his fingers at

a. though the gripman would be ex-

high in the air and hold it there, and
some people wave an umbrella or a

have discovered that for all practical
purposes in stopping a car a toothpick

Ii Russia should Attack China.

The attention of diplomats in Wash
ington is. We are told. engrOssed in
the question. How soon could Russia
throw an efficient army into China?
The general opinion seems to be that
if the Trans-Siberian railroad were
completed she could do so in a few
weeks.
Now. as a matter of fact. Russia
does not need the completed railroad
at all, and the only portion of it-that
between Irkutsk and Lake Baikal-
which would be of incalculable value
has. according t. Consul General
Jonas report to the State Department
from St. Petersburg. been ordered be-
gun by the Gar. By this road the
Eastern Siberian army of thirty thous-
and men could be quickly moved into
China. though they could walk all the
way from Irkutsk in fourteen days.
But without these troops. or those at
Viadivostock, it must not be forgotten
that Russia has on the AmoOr a vast
army'o of so-called ''cOlonists "-many
thousands of them Cossacks from the
Don-who are bound to be ready,
man. horse and weapon. to serve the
Car at a moments notice.
Russia has, in fact, an army of ~
hundred thousand Cossacks and re-
servists now dwelling peaceably along
the Amoor and. the Ussuri rivers,
ready at any time to cross into
Chinese territory.-N. Y. Herald.

Very truly yours.
DIR. WERNER SCHMID.
We are sorry we cannot give DR..
Schmid the information he asks for.
We do not know who the doctor re-
ferred to yesterday is. We in
formed by a prominent physician of
this city in substance just what was
published in these columns yesterday.
and had it not been for the above note
from DR.. Schmid we would not have
thought of the matter again. We never
asked our informant forthe name of the
Cape physician referred to. We did
not think it necessary, for the gentle
man is a prominent physician and we
cannot imagine what object he could
have in view to induce us to publish
something that was untrue if it was
untrue.
We said in the item at which DIR.
Schmid takes exceptions that We
thought We had as learned physicians
and as skillful surgeons in this city as
there are in the country, and we say so
yet. They may not be as expert in
re-setting legs as some Illinois doctors
who make their living following up
railroad wrecks and patching up the
broken bones of the unfortunate vic
Tins therein but they are just as
learned physicians and as skillful sur
geons as the profession affords.

Novel Lamp Shndes.

An English electrical firm is intro
ducing some striking novelties in
electric lamp shades. These shades
are made of a specially selected de-
scription of natural feathers, dyed in
choice tints. and arranged in artistic
shapes and combinations of color.
Among other beautiful designs of
shades for floor and table lamps are
the representations of various kinds
of flowers made separately and group
ed together on skeleton frames. The
result is an entire departure from the
hackneyed style of silk and lace shades
now in vogue. The general construc-
ton of the shades is projected by Il
patent. and every design is registered.
1t is Il noteworthy fact that the design
err of nearly all the patterns is a young
woman. who derives an excellent in
come from her work.

The Ideal Public HIGHWAY.

q, The question Of how to achieve good
roads need not here be fully discussed.
1t is getting to be well admitted that
some engineering skill is needed; that
the ideal road is not that which lies in
straight line across the concession line
or side line in contempt of hills and wa
ter courses, but the natural line that
avoids the heavy grades which so reduce
horses pulling powers. It is getting
to be well known that grade of one in
ten reduces a horses drawing powers to
one-quarter Of what it can draw on a
level, and that with one in fifty, a horse
can pull but four fifths of what it can
move on the level. The three styles Of
paving-the telford, with it's bottom
row of wedged in large stones, it's inter
mediate layers Of broken stone ~
inches in diameter and its top dressing
of still smaller stone; the macadam and
the gravel are well understood The
Importance Of drainage, cuaverts and
side drains are conceded. The service
rendered by heavy rollers is recognized,
and SO, too, is the ACCESSIBILITY Of those
other reforms, the abolition Of statute
labor and substitution therefor of all the
year round continuous mending, the re-
placing Of the pathmaster by the efficient
engineer, the employment of proper
tools and the other administrative re-
forms connected with the subject To
ronto Globe.
