ST. CLAIR SHIP CANAL.

Dominion Government Considering
Proposal TO Guarantee Bonds.
A proposal to guarantee the bonds OF
the st. Clair and Erie ship canal is be-
ing considered by the Dominion Govern
ment. A deputation of representative
men from the counties interested, accom-
panied by the several members Of parlia-
mcnt, presented petition that the petit
tion of the st. Clair and Erie Ship Canal
Company, asking for a guarantee OF
per cent interest for twenty years on an
issue of $500, 900 of bonds be granted.
The more important of the points touched
upon by the delegates were the shorten
ing of the distance between Lake st.
Clair and Lake Erie by seventy-nine
miles, which would decrease the sailing
distance. and thus increase the number
of trips in season; the avoidance of the
dangers and delays Of the Detroit river
route; the lessening of the cost of trans
ports between Fort William and Lake
Erie, and, locally, the making effectual
Of drainage over a very large area of fer
tile land, now only imperfectly drained at
great cost, and the bringing of mar
ket equal to that Of large city to the

IMPERvIOUS TO PAIN.
Remarkable Operation Performed on
Harry Beno at Columbus, Ohio.

Remarkable Operation Performed on
Harry Beno at Columbus, Ohio.
Harry Beno Of Columbus, o., who has
quite reputation for swallowing poisons,
having needles run into him and doing
various other things that an ordinary man
who wishes to live does not do, was the
victim of remarkable operation. 1t
was performed by physicians of the Ohio
Medical University, the marvellous fea-
lures being not so much in the operation
as the character and behavior of the pa
tient. The operation consisted of remoy-
ing, without the aid of anaesthetics, three
awl points which had broken off in some
former experiments in the skull of the
man. While the operation itself was not
n dangerous one, the fact that it was
made without anaesthetics makes it Won
derful. DIR. Kinsman, in an address to
the students after the operation, said
that it is the first case of the kind that
has ever been reported. Beno claims that
he is totally without the power of feeling
or of sensation. While the physicians
were pounding away on his head with
mallet and chisel taking out small pieces
of his skull Beno was laughing and jok-
ing with the students.
