Copper Supply of Newfoundland.

The copper supply of Newfoundland
is said to be practically inexhausible
The island is now the sixth copper pro
ducing country in the world. This in
dustry was first established in New
foundland in 1864, when Tilt Cove
began to occupy the attention of cap
italists. During recent years very sat
isfactory results have been achieved
in that district. These mines pro-
duced last year over seventy thousand
tons of ore at a profit of more than
$115,000. The records for 1896 are
somewhat incomplete, but they show
an expert from Newfoundland of 460,-
311 tons of copper ore, 50,730 tons of
regulus, and 5,24o Of ingots, valued at
about $11, 100000. 1t is estimated that
the country has produced fifty thou
sand tons of fine copper, worth fifteen
million dollars, the greater part of this
being turned out during the past
twenty years.

The Whitehead torpedo, of which so
much is heard, is 16 feet inches long,
III inches greatest diameter, and
weighs ready for service, 1,160
pounds. 1t carries 900 pounds of wet
guncotton at speed of about 2S knots
per hour, and at that speed it has a
range of about $50 yards. This tor
pedo is built Of steel and is propelled
by two tNo-bladed screws, revolving
IN opposite directions on the same
axis, to neutralize the rolling tenden-
cy of the torpedo. The screws are
operated by a three-cylinder engine
driven by air compressed to 1850
pounds per square inch; and an intri-
cate apparatus, called the Obry gear,
Is used to automatically keep the tor
pedo pointed straight during the run.
This obry gear is essentially a gyro-
scope controlling the valves of the
steering engine, which operates two
rigidiy connected vertical rudders.

and Their Origin.
The gladiolus Qittle sword, IS so
called probably from its sharp, sword
shaped leaves; and the eglantine, (di-
minutive Of the French aiguille,) from
its piercing, needle-like thorns, says n
writer in st. Nicholas. Cocoanut IS
from the Spanish coco, or bugbear, de-
scriptive of the queer, impish little
face at the base of the hairy nut.
Nasturtium, which means nose
twister," gives n picture of the per-
son smelling the blossom and invol-
unfairly comforting his features from
the stinging and pungent odor. Pink
introduces US to n group of words
that at first sight seem very oddly i'll
matched, for this daintily edged flower
gets its name pink from the Dutch
verb pinken, TO pick out with sharp
instrument, as n border is pinked in
notched scallopS for decoration.
Charming pictures are given by the
"sun-dew," with its sparkling leaves;
"the Daisie, or else the eye of the
day." as Chaucer calls it, from its
habit of opening at dawn, and the

The exquisite blue speedwell and the
beckoning sprays of travellers joy

is sort of moral in the rough brush

the kindred adjective brusque. The
old word teasen meant to card wool.

corded Morice Cannon, native of the
small frontier town Of Stein, in the
State of Constance, Germany. This
Teuton is said to turn the scale" at
fifty stone, and may claim to be the
heaviest man on earth. He measures
over 100 inches round the waist, and
GA inches round the thigh; his enor-
nous weight does not apparently in
convenience him, for he is active and
in robust health. He is described as a
well-to-do, middle-aged, good-looking
farmer, who is also a keen sportsman,
being an excellent all-round shot with
the rifle. Naturally his gigantic pro-
portions have made him an object Of
curiosity in his part of Germany.

quarries are situate some 20 kiloms

Gibralter was taken by the English
in l70+. during the war Of the Spanish
succession. a war which was provoked
by the aggressive policy OF France in
erdeavoring TO place a monarch OF the
French family upon the Spanish
throne. and thus consolidate the two
Kingdoms into one The fortress was
then CAPTURED. almost by surprise.
though the SpaniaIGs and French, ap-
pleliating the strategic value OF the
place, made Gess crate efforts TO re-
cover it. but wee Iepulsed at every
point. Between the date Of its capture
and 1873 Iere-, ed efforts were made
by Spain 10 recover the fortress, and in
the latter yea Jle greatest armament
that was eve brought TO bear upon n
lcsirgcd place lay before Gibraltar.
The siege lasted. of and on. for many
months. The investing force comprised
l2.0tO troops Of France. over twice as
many Of the hest infantry of Spain.
and the feet consisted of forty-seven
ships. all three-deckers; ten great
floating batteries, esteemed invincibles,
carrying 2I2 guns. innumerable frig-
ates, bCmb-ketches. cutters, gun and
mortar boats. For weeks together over
5000 shells a day were thrown into the
town and repeated attempts were made
to storm the works, but the little gar
rison OF only 1000 men reCeIed every
assault and finally succeeded in beat
ing off the allied fleet. The blockade
began June q. 1879. and lasted until
February, 1888, when the garrison was
finally relieved by the arrival of a
British fleet and army. Since that
time the Notifications of Gibraltar
have been so improved and increased
that it is regarded as the strongest
fortress in the world. The British gov
eminent maintains there a garrison OF
from 5000 to 10000 men, with pro-
visions for six months. and it is said
the supply of military material is suf-
ficient to enable the fortress to stand
siege of indefinite length

Makers of wallpaper grow pale and

used in their business. But mankind is
