Governor Candler of Georgia has made sensation by reducing his mili- tary staff from one hundred and four to thirty-six. Don't all the Georgia men want to be colonels, or is there is scarcity of men in Georgia who are not colonels?

 It is reported that there is rapid rise of the land about Hudson Bay, and that If the present rate continues, there will be a vast area of dry land or salt marsh by the complete disappearance of the shallow bay, in the course of a few centuries. The action now going on is stated to be the most remarkable grad ual upheaval of land ever known, and new islands have been observed, while channels and harbors have grown too shallow for navigation. Driftwood- covered beaches have risen from twenty to sixty feet above the water and the topography of the country has under gone much change.
 The Hebrew flag which f1oated at the meeting of the Zionist congress at Basic has appeared in New York, and the Hebrews are buying it with great in- terest. This flag contains two blue stripes horizontal on white flag, with white above and below as well as in the middle and in the center field the pentacle, the six-pointed star of David and Solomon, while a six-pointed star surmounted the standard of Rome. This is said to resemble the standard of the Hebrews while they were yet a nation, but that standard was not a flag f1oat- ing from the side of a staff, but like the banners which depend from a cross bar swinging from the point of the staff.
 The rise in tin has made better feeling in Cornwall, where many for tunes have been made and lost in min- ing. One mine alone, the Dolcoath mine, near Camborne, has yielded tin and copper during the past ninety eight years that has sold for $50, ,591, $50 and is still returning 75O00 tons of tin ore every year. The history of this mine has been a story of imitation and depression; it's shares, which could be bought in 1S46 for $20,000, had risen in 1868 to s450,00O, while in those twenty one years no less than $739.270 was paid to the shareholders in dividends. Since this last date, 1868, dividend amount ing to $3,220,0O0 have been earned and pocketed by grateful shareholders. In a few months time, with the increase in the price of tin, it is hoped that this old mine will again be rejoicing the hearts of Cornishmen by it's rich yields.
 By far the most striking characters- tic of Manila is the number, size and spIendor of the religious edifices. Though the walled area is only about 250 acres in extent, within these limits are half a dozen churches, including cathedral The spires and bell towers of these massive structures form the most picturesque characteristic feature of the city. The architecture of Man fla. aside from the churches, is far from being notable, and is, in fact, med ocre. The churches, however, dominate the city architecturally and proclaim that this is the great seat of the Catholic religion in the East. The oldest of the existing churches, that of St. Angus tine, was founded more than 300 years ago. That it has withstood the ty- phoons and earthquakes of three cen- turies is proof of it's solidity and also of the ability of it's architect, a nephew of the builder of the Escurial at Madrid.
 To prevent the engines of vessel from tracing" when the screw ris s above the water, Signor D. Putalo has invented an electrical regulator. The contrivance. according to Industries and Iron, consists of two vessels of mercury, connected at the bottom by a tube and mounted fore and aft in the shin. The vessels are about half full at normal depth When the ship push es forward so as to raise the screw the rods connected with the resistance are submerged one after the other, so that an electro-magnet is brought into play, the whole resistance being short-eir- cuitad when the screw is quite out of
