DANGER OF A DISASTER.
Montreal Threatened With n Flood
From Her Immense Reservoir.

Montreal Threatened With a Flood
From Her Immense Reservoir.
Montreal, Oct. 2s.-Montreal is threat
ened with disaster even worse than that
Of the Johnstown flood, owing to the pres
ent condition of the city reservoir on
Mount Royal, overlooking the city The
two big basins have been leaking badly
for years, and the leakages have been
increasing rapidly. AS repairs have been
delayed, the superintendent of the water
works has become more and more alarm
ed, and has so reported. The authorities of
McGill University, which is situated Just
below the reservoirs, have communicated
with the city officials, pointing out the
danger and notifying the city that 1t
would be held responsible for $1000000
damage. The reservoirs hold over 20, 900 -
900 gallons of water, and experts say that
unless repairs are made at once the wall
holding both reservoirs will give way and
terrible disaster win result.
The masonry wall is only or 10 feet
thick and once it is thoroughly honey
combed and gives way the earth backing
will not hold the immense body of water
The effect would simply be the obliteration
of a wide belt of the city from the reservoir
to the Lachine Canal and river, and the
whole of the low lying part of the city
would be flooded. The mayor has giveT
orders to have the necessity repairs made
at once.

horses. Thereupon the desperadoes opened
fire. Kiser was shot through the arm, and
his wife was shot through the head and
instantly killed.
The murderers dragged Kiser from the
carriage and robbed him of his watch and
money. They then rifed Miss Kiser's
body of her gold watch and made their
escape.
Kiser dragged himself to a nearby house
and summoned assistance. He was
brought to his home here and is badly
wounded. Kiser was able to give the au-
thorities a good description Of the high
waymen, and the police of this borough
and Philadelphia are bending every effort
to capture the bandits.

In Arctic EXpIOration.

The arctic explorations of 1896 were
not startling in any way. Still, they
were, on the whole, satisfactory. 1t is
true that Nansen did not reach the
north pole, Peary did not bring home
the big Greenland meteorite from Mel
vile bay, while Andree did not even
start on his wild goose chase Of a bal
loon voyage across the pole. These are
the things that were not done.
AS to what was done, Nansen proved
that a ship may be built strong enough
to drift for a year among the ice foes Of
the polar region and not be crushed. He
also got within $50 miles of the pole it.
self-nearer than anybody else had done
by walking and sledging over the ice.
1t was ice. He has proved that there is
no land north Of Franz Josef Land on
the eastern half Of the globe. Whatever
landward advances are to be made in
future will therefore be from the west
ern side of the world north of Green
land. The Americans Brainard and
Lockwood found in 1881 a fringe of
land northeast of Greenland and traced
its southern shores westerly for some
distance. It was in latitude SO degrees
"a minutes. This is still the highest
point of land attained by man. Lock
wood and Brainard thought it was part
of the northern coast of Greenland.
Peary proved two years ago that it was
not, but that it was a detached mass
north of Greenland. 1t will probably
turn out to be the land that is nearest
to the pole of any on the globe. And it
will yet be reached-that, too, by the
Greenland route, which the explorations
of 1896 apparently show to be the most
feasible.
The interior Of north Greenland has
been named Peary Land, and the chan
mel which separates the north coast Of
Greenland from the land reached by
Brainard and Lockwood has been named
Peary channel.
In the frozen solitudes of Alaska, Pro-
fessor Alfred EldridGc made the discov-
cry, already noted, of the ruins Of a pre-
historic city 400 miles up the Kuwalik
river from it's mouth in Kotzebue sound.
Of all the achievements of the arctic ex-
p]orers this year that of Professor Ell
bridge is most interesting. The city was
great and prosperous in the days when
the north pole enjoyed a warm climate.
Interesting as we'll as important, too,
was the finding by Professor Dyche of
great Lodges of coal in Alaska. The coal
is SO soft that it can be cut with a knife.
Still, it is there.
