French cyel,.t. wan, Patron sain,

For some time past the cyclists in
France have been casting about for
a patron saint and the subject is one
that has caused them no little perplex-
ity on account of the difficulty of as
sociating any known saint with a
method of locomotion whose history is
eI tirely modern. st. Julien and st.
Christopher we're both thought OF be-
cause of their solicitude for travellers,
but cyclists being clannish, wished to
remain quite distinct from tramps and
such like persons, says the Boston
Pilot. st. Katherine of Alexandria is
the saint upon whom the choice of the
great majority appears TO have fallen,
preference suggested by the time.
hcnored custom of representing her In
art In association with the wheel
which was intended for her torture,
but which was miraculously used
against her prosecutors. The Croix,
which warmly advocates the choice OF
sc. Katherine. makes the following re-
fiections on the subject: "As the saint
stands leaning upon her wheel she
makes us think OF a bicycllst in repose.
The cyclist travels upon wheel and
the saint who escaped so miraculously
from suffering and danger will protect
those who invoke her aid with faith"

water taken from the ST. Lawrence will
be restored through the Grass river.
which will thus form a natural tail
race
Where the canal reaches the high
banks OF the Grass river IL will turn
parallel 10 that stream. and the water
supply for the turbines viii be by di-
rect pipes from the canal. which will
be connected by short conduits TO the
Grass river. The canal will be OF such
dimensions rs TO be capable OF deliver
ing 10000 horsepower on the turbines
on the Grass river. and the requisite
electrical machinery will be set up for
delivering T5.000-horse power of this
electrically. As the demand for power
warrants Il. the works can he extend
ed to produce. II Is said. ny to 500. O00-
horse power.
With the birth OF what may be
termed the new chemistry" which
may be explained as the manufacture
electrically of the chemical products
used in commerce. the existence of this
huge water-power is matter Of enor-
nous interest to the trading commune
~. The great difficulty hitherto In the
various new electro-chemical processes
has been the cost OF power Steam
power, in the most fayorably situated
districts, costs on an average S75 per
horsepower per year. At Niagara

por annum. while at Massena 1t is pro-
posed to sell at the rate of from si2 to
SIS per horsepower per annum.
The construction of the canal is to
be commenced at once, and II is anti
cipated that at least $4,000 electrical
horsepower will be ready for delivery
