near Massena, on the st. Lawrence river,
United States of America, says Cham

here 10000 horse power by taking ad-

Grass river, flowing nearly parallel
to it at distance of 3h miles. A big
caual is to be cut across the Intervening
plateau, and fall of water SO feet in
height thus obtained on the banks of
the Grass river. The latter river will
itself form the "tail race" of the power
station.
This scheme dwarfs the Niagara one.
since not only do the plans provide for
a greater amount of power, but man is
going to do what nature has done for
him at Niagara--namely, provide the

An interesting occurrence of tin ore
and diamonds, which is believed to be
unique, is described in the recently-is-
sued report OF the department Of mines
and agriculture of New South Wales for
1896. Gravel containing casseterite in
workable quantities, together with dia-
monds, was discovered last year at
Doggy camp, Is miles west of Tingha,
which has been for some time a pro-
ductiVe tin field. ..... ....
The pay streak at Doggy camp, which
is from 30 to so feet deep,ayerages from
two to seven feet in thickness, the
width of the lead not yet having been
ascertained. One load of gravel yielded
SIS stones Of 1874 karats aggregate
weight and az loads furnished 80 kar-
at: OF diamonds and tinstoTe at thelrate
Of 13 pounds per load. The pay streak
is a quartz pebble drift underlying a
large hill of .basalt. Z. +. Pitman, the
government geologist who examined
the occurrence, considers that the
basalt filed what was originally au
oval-shaped depression.
The gravel rests on granite, and gran
ite can be traced entirely around the
basalt. The diamonds are white and of
good quality, and it is thought that
when the gravel is drained the district
will make considerable production.

OFFENSIVE FOREIGN MINISTER'S.

The New York Sun has been at
pains to search the records and find
how often i'll orr history ministers
representing foreign nations in this
country have shown themselves per-
sone non grate to our government
and been recalled to their own land
at our request. The first instance
happened in Washlngton's second
term, i'll 1894. Genet, French min
lister, had meddled with what did not
concern him and endeavored to stir
up war between us and England, and
Washington requested France to re-
call him.
When Jefferson was president,
Yrujo. Spanish minister, was guilty of
conduct not only unbecomiug in
diplomat, but even III an honest man
and gentleman, and was dismissed
from his Office ut the request of our
government. Even then, however,
Spain acted in very high nosed
way in regard 10 the matter and did
not rebuSe the offender as she should
have done.
During Madison's first term Jack
SOD, British minister, was recalled on
a request from Washington because
of offensive criticism Of our govern
ment. In 1910, when Taylor was
president, the French minister, man
with the long name of Guillaumc
Tell Ltvallee Poussin. made himself
persona non grata and was peremp
torily informed by the stlte depart
ment that this government would
have nothing more to do with him in
his official capacity. That was Zach
TayIor's way Of doing things.
Catacazy, Russian representative,
was recalled home at our request IN
1871, in Grants first term, and the
same fate happened to Sackville-
West, British minister, in Cleveand's
first term. Last OF all comes the De
LONE incident. Thus seven foreign
ministers in all-two British, two
Spanish, two French and one Russian
have since the establishment of the
United States government made
themselves SO disagreeabte that their
recall was asked for.

professor Of Chinese in the University of
Oxford, who has just died at the age of,
81, was, it is said, in the habit of rising
at three a. m. and allowing himself only
five hours Of sleep. Brunei, the famous
engineer, for considerable part of his
life worked nearly 20 hours day. Sir
George A. Elliott, afterward Lord
Heathfieid, who was in command
throughout the great siege of Gibraltar,
which lasted four years, never during
all that time slept more than four
hours out of the "a. GAS I get old" said
Humboldt, 81 want more sleep-four
hours at least. When 1 was young,
two hours of sleep were quite enough
for me-" On Prof. Max Muller limiting
that he found this a hard saying, Hum
boldt said: "It is quite a mistake,
though it is very widely spread, that we
want seven or eight hours of sleep.
When was your age simply lay down
on the sofa, turned down my lamp. and
after two hours sleep was as fresh as
ever" He lived to be 80. These ex-
amPles are. to use the consecrated
phrase OF the photographers, more for
admiration than for limitations; but
they serve to show that longevity and
small allowance of sleep are not in all
cases incompatible.
