In that event. 1t adds. the justices
against the law may be at an unfortunate
disadvantage. since 1t will require nVe
TO set it aside, while four Will be suiii-
cient to uphold 1t. This follows from the
fact that only eight justices will take

result must be TO affirm the decision OF

those decisions upheld the constitu-

The Invincible Armada.

The invipcihle armada was a famous
naval expedition sent by Philip II Of
Spain against England in 1888. 1t con-
sisted of 80 vessels, 2, 430 great guns,
4,575 quintals of powder, nearly 10000
soldiers, above 5000 sailors and more
than 1000 volunteers 1t arrived in the
English channel on July 10 and was de-
feated the next day by Admiral How
ard, who was seconded by Drake, Haw-
kins and Frobishcr. Eight fire ships
having been sent into the Spanish fleet,
they bore off i'll great disorder. Profting
by the panic, the English fell upon them
and captured or destroyed number of
their ships, and Admiral Howard main
tanned running fight from July 81 to
July 81, with such effect that the Span
ish commander, despairng of success,
resolved to return home, and as escape
through the English channel was pre-
vented by contrary winds he undertook
to sail around the Orkneys, but the ves-
sells which still remained to him were
dispersed by storms or shipwrecked
among the rocks and shadows on differ
ent parts of the Scottish and Irish coast,
and upward of 5000 men were drown
ed, killed or taken prisoners. OF the
whole armada SO ships only returned to
Spain, and these in wretched condi-
ton. The English lost but one ship.

A Dogs Affection,

l think the most pathetic thing that has
coile under my notice occurred when
was in the ticket Office of the Grand
Trunk 1t was there that one of my near
est and dearest friends until his sudden
death was passenger agent. When l went
to inquire the particulars of Phil Slater's
death, his dog came rushing in, hunted
every corner Of the building for him and
was out like n flash Within ID minutes
that poor broken hearted animal was there
thrice and would pay no attention to any
hand nor dice while his master could not be
found, and at the sad home on Gerard
street nothing but violence could restrain
that faithful animal from lying beneath
the coffin or prevent him, with his paws
on the black box, from whining mourn
fully for the word Of recognition that he
would never hear again.
OF the great army of friends that Phil
Slater had in this city and all over the
province--and there never was n bigger
hearted, more generous or kindly man
how many of us will remember him or
mourn for him as necessarily and with
such whole hcartcdncss as that poor broken
hearted dog?-Toronto Star.

The First Locomotive.

The real inventor Of the locomotive
never realized cent from his invention
His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born in Delaware in 1866 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage IL this form
of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel.
In 1904 the municipality of Philadel
phia called for bids for the dredging of
the river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put in bid lower than any of
his competitors, and when it was ao-
copied determined to build steamboat
to do the work.
He fitted cut scOw with Il steam en-
CINE, building both the engine and the
scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be launch
ed Evans determined to give the peo-
pie Of Philadelphia an object lesson in
mechanics, so he put the boat on wheels,
fitted up push wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
through the streets to the river in the
midst of an open mouthed throng, not
few of whom had Il dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcsaft.
When the boat reached the bank of
the river, the wheels and aXles were TAX
en- off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention of mechanical
devices went, Evans had splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents came
up for consideration he was "a mere
child, and even allowed himself to be
cheated out of the money that was due
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har
Dor with his new tangled steamboat. -

SEVEN HUNDRED Chinese attacked Hahn.

Two hundred Chinese were killed or cap

men.
A BATTLE between the insurgents and
Spanish troops has been fought near
Santiago de Cuba The government forces
were defeated. A battle has also been
fought near Holguin, the result OF which is
not known. On account Of the prevalence
of yellow fever, the United States cruiser
Atlanta is holding no communication

BARON BLANC, minister of foreign affairs
for Italy, has instructed Signor Nobili,
Italian charge d'affaires in Rio Janeiro, to
make concessions in the matter of Italy's
claims against Brazil for alleged outrages to
Italian subjects during the revolution.
This is done with view to settlement by
amicable adjustment, without the necessity
of rupture in official relations between the
two countries. There is petition being
circulated there asking the government to
retain the name of "Garibsldi" ON the war
ship just purchased by Argentina from
Italy. 1t is thought that this would be a
gracious act toward italian residents.

The CamphOr Language.

One Of the queerest languages in the
world, used for the hnceret purposes,
is the "camphOr language of Johore,
a country of the Malay peninsula. 1t has
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer i'll
the service of the sulttn Of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
by the natives and all others eho are
engaged III gathering the product of the
Malayan cumphor tree and only at that
time If they used either of the Ian
guages Of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any cRmphor,
and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dry6blanops camphora, grows
abundantly i'll certain parts Of the pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crystals. The camphor is not
the same as that obtained from the cam
phor laurel of Formosa and Japan,
which is the source of the ordinary cam
phor Of commerce. 1t is "a sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming of theiT dead, in incense and i'll
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species of tree
has a spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. The spirit of the cam
phor tree is known by the name of BIZ
SAIL lilly "a woman. Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in the
woods, resembling that of a cicada. the
Bisan is believed to be singing, and
camphor will surely be found in the
neighborhood. But the spirit of the cam
phor tree seems to be jealous of the pre-
cious gum and must be propitiated, and
if she knows that hunters are i'll quest
of it she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessaN- to speak
in tongue which she does not under
stand For this purpose the 'camphor
language has been invented. 1t con
sists of mixture of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity Of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are one of the
widest Of people, but inoffensive They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
innumerable fowls and perhaps a tame
hornbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built ON poles in the
woods Boston Traveller

Forge and Furnace of the Future.

The opinion is expressed by writer
in The Mechanical News that the forge
and furnace of the future will consist of
a lead lined glass or porcelain vase, or
cupola, filled with cold aciditied water,
to which is connected strong positive
conductor, the forge and outfit being
rendered complete by pair of tongs
with insulated handles attached to
flexible negative conductor. According
to this plan, the smith seizes the piece
of iron which is to be manipulated with
the insulated tongs and plunges it into
the sour water, which begins to boil
and bubble the instant it comes in con-
tact with the iron, the latter, in "a re-
markedly short space of time, turning
to red and then to a white heat, ready
for the work of the smith So rapidly
indeed is the heating done by this means
that the water and the portion of the
iron not immersed in the water are but
slightly warmed The principle invOlv
ed in this process is Of q simple and well
known Neutrality-suspicious. produc-
ing the light and heat-it being found
that enormous heat can be produced by
such method, much greater, i'll fact,
than is necessary to extract iron from
the most refractory ores. 1t is remarked
that the value Of such process will be
especially exhibited III the more COM
plete and rapid handling of heavy iron
and steel plates and bars requiring to
be hammered and welded-more valua-
BILE still for tempering purposes, as the
necessary heat for the immersed portion
can be so quickly obtained, while the
remaining portion holds comparatively
cool
