The last British consular report from
Havre and the towns in that district
show that on the whole the fmporta-
ton of British coal has not been in
judiously affected by the new tariff on
the northern and western railways Of
France, which was designed to increase
the consumption of French coal. The
American consul at Chemnitz reports
that, in spite Of freight reductions all
over Germany and the other efforts to
encourage the consumption of German
coal, the trade in British coal is still
very large. In 1895 it amounted to
100000 tons. and it increased last
year. Even IN Berlin, while the con-
sumption increased by 40 per cent, the
increase in German coal consumed
there was on 12 per cent, the rest be-
ing British. England's coal. the AM
erican consul adds, is cheaper and
better than that of continental coun-
tries.

has been done. There, along the great
continental divide, all waters on the
western slope naturally find their out
let into the Gulf of California, and
those on the eastern slope reach the
Gulf OF Mexico via the South Platte, the
Platte, the Missouri, and the MISSISSIPPI
pl. But on the western side there is
an abundance of water and scarcity
OF arabic land, while on the eastern
side good land is abundant, while the
supply of water is insufficient. The
latest project is to turn the upper
waters of the Grande across the water
shed, and along the slopes extending
east. The crest of the continental d.
vide rises into peaks $4,000 feet high
and descends into passes as low as TO-
600 feet. 1t thus happens that, while
some of the tributaries of the Grande
have their rise at the elevation of IL 900
feet or more, the Lulu pass on the con-
tinental divide is only 10000 feet above
sea level. 1t is thus clear that If the
river can be tapped at any elevation
considerably above the height of the
Lulu pass the waters can be led craft
lily along in sidehill bitches and ulti-
mately across the divide and down the
eastern slope of the range. This is what

Telephony in the unItea states.

The extraordinary growth of the tel
ephone service in America is shown in
some figures brought out in the course
of a recent inquiry as to the desirable
ity OF regulating the rates and super
vislng the service of telephone compan-
les in Massachusetts. In the United
States there are twelve conversations
per year on the average to every one of
the population, while in Europe there
are only two. The United States with
a population, according to the census
of 1890, of 62.622. $50, maintains 325, $40
telephone stations, or one to every 1872
of the population. The combined pop
ulation of Europe, according to the GEN.
sus of 1890, is 354, 1857, 776, and they
maintain 336,037 telephone stations, or
one to every 907 of the population.
The conversations over the telephone
in the United States amount to 49,
100000 per year; in Europe they
amount to 767. 109,S2 In other words.
in the United States the number of
telephones used is more than five times
as great, according to the population,
as those used in the countries of Eu-
rope, and the number of conversations
per capita OF the population of the
United States is six times as great as
in Europe. France, with a population
of 3S,343, 1872, is using 29,50O telephones,
or enc to every 1900 of the population:
that is. France, with population eight
times as great as that OF the six New
England States, is using fewer tele-
phones than the people of New Eng
land. Massachusetts, according to the
census of 1895, had a population of O.
500.1s3, and there are 26,315 telephones
in use, or one to every 95 of the popu-
lation. Sweden, where the telephone
is more generally used than in any
other country in Europe, has but one
telephone TO every 1876 of the popula-
ton. London has population of o.
100000 with 5000 exchange telephone
instruments, or one to every 700 of the
population, while Boston, with a popu-
lation of 496,s2O. according to the CEN
sus of 1895, has 9.OS7 telephones, or one
to every fifty-flve of the population.

The press department of the Stock
holm Exposition continues to send out
alluring notices of the various attrac-
tions offered there this Summer. The
latest news concerns the army and
navy exhibits and the international re-
gatta. The entrance of the naval ex-
hibit represents the stern OF ship of
the line Of the seventeenth century,
with turrets, campaign lanterns and
1lagstaffs, while the entrance to the
army exhibit reproduces a sumptuous
tent of the same period. In the bay

bridge, from which landing bridges
lead up to the different vessels. The
regatta arranged by the Swedish
Yacht club at an expense of $50, 900 in
honor of the Kings jubilee in July,
bids fair to be a remarkable success.
Emperor William OF Germany will
send his 150-ton yacht, Meteor. and the
German navy the yacht Komet, of the
same tonnage. Many other German
and English yachts are also expected
which, together with the Norwegian.
Danish, Finnish and Russian clubs and
the fine feet of Sweden itself, give
promise of some very interesting races.

The Russian government is said to
be considering the extension OF the
Transcaucasian railway south through
Teheran to port on the Indian ocean.
This is said to involve no engineering
difficulties. The opening of such line,
it has been urged, would not fail to be
of the utmost possible advantage to
Russia, both in extending her CONNER
cial relations with Persia and neighbor-
ing states, but also opening new and
rapid strategic route to the Indian
ocean. THE only difficulty at present
in the way is stated to be the POSSIBLE
ity of opposition by the Persian govern
ment to the construction of the pro-
posed line"

some OF the line the forest Is so dense
that no good picture OF the works can
be obtained by ordinary solar photog-

The altitude is a great difficulty to be
encountered in the prosecution of such

Two devices used for the protection
Of the canal deserve notice. One is to
keep it from stopping over. A little
