drawn aside, and a mimic San Juan
hill, with blockhouse and large detach-
ment of Spanish infantry in possession,
were shown. Immediately the rough
riders, with infantry and a detachment
To1 colored troops for historical accu-
raey as assistants and aided by a
Hotchkiss rapid-fire gun, begun the
charge on the hill, meeting with a
stubborn repulse from rifle and artil-
lery that stirred the spectators.
A detachment of the ambulance corps
attended to the wounded and gave a
practical exhibition of the work of this
part of the army in conflict The
charge of the United States troops
landed them at the brow of the hill,
and when the Spanish flag was lowered
and the stars and stripes hauled to the
top of the f1agpole, the great gathering
broke out in wild chorus, and applause
that lasted several minutes.
The second part of the program was
as interesting as the first, and in
which the trick and fancy riding of the
detachment from the Sixth cavalry was
the distinctive feature. The military
musical drill by the detachment from
the Sixteenth British lancers, known
as the Queens own" regiment and the
Garde-Kurasssiers of Emperor Will
helms army, was remarkable. A
VI OdNSWOiu CONTEST between Two teams
of four men each of the lancers, was
exciting.
The attack on the famous Deadwood
coach by Indians and repulse of the
Indians by the cowboys, stirred the
blood, and Col Cody was loudly APP

The surprising news comes from Que
bee that the Plains of Abraham have
been surveyed for building lots, and
that already nine streets have been
laid out across them. 1t is added, and
no wonder, that every historical asso-
citation In Canada has protested
against the Dissertation. The land ought
to have been purchased long ago by the
Government, which has preserved the
famous site so far through the pay
ment of a small rental. 1t was a case
in which there was no need to take any
risks, and there would never have been
any doubt about the desirability of
maintaining the grounds as near as
might be in their original condition.
Nowhere on this continent is there
place of greater historical interest or
one that explains and re-enforces so
clearly what is told on the historic
page. With brief outline of the facts
In his mind the writer can himself fill
in the details. Going to the ramparts
above he realizes at once the desperate
nature of Wolfe's enterprise The COM
handing position of the upper town
seems to preclude the very idea of an
attack from any point higher up on the
, river. No book makes it so convincing
ly evident why the French were con-
tent with a careless guard upon the
Plains. Then a walk out of the city
and across the very grounds to the spot
where the indomitable redcoats ap-
raI intnn SifiAS hn Are
Horatius at the bridge in the brave
| days of old had no heavier task than
! did those Englishmen. The steep
| banks towering over the river are for
midable enough to the curious traveller
who carries neither arms nor ammuni-
! ton, and has no foe to fear. 1t looks
as though one proper man might stop
a host in that perilous path. That an
army could reach the summit seems
! fairly incredible. But interest does not
cease there at the brink. A superior
| force was to be met and conquered on
the Plains, and every foot Of way
| thrills the nerves and appeals to the
imagination. The disposition Of the
troops can be readily figured out, and
the whole course Of the battle can be
closely followed till the supreme mo-
ment, when Wolfe fell and the shout Of
victory was borne on his ears as the
routed French fed pell-mell for the
city. From any but the numerical
standpoint the battle was one of the
most important in history. 1t deter
mined not only the fate of Canada, but
that of the whole Northwest, and all
the inheritors of British institutions In
the region of the great lakes are its
benefciaries. So much the Plains of
Abraham stand for, and they should
remain to tell their story to the end of
| time.

We sometimes speak of this as a
skeptical age, and laugh hugely over
the stories of medieval charlatans W no
bamboozed the public, but it is doubt
full whether the era of Jernegan, of
HOoley and the Keely motor has any
reason to boast Of its sagacity. 1t Is
safe to say that if there were any
money in squaring the circle the proc
ess would be the basis of stock COM
pany today. 1t is rather curious in
deed to see how the world has moved
from its incredulOus position of fifty
years ago. Science is sometimes spoken
of as unsettling belief; it is just to say
that it has shaken the foundations of
unbelief. twenty-five years ago the
idea of flying machine was invariably
ridiculed; it's eternal impossibility was
regarded as demonstrated To-day vast
fortunes are being spent in the effort
to make a practicable airship. Then
the medieval notion Of the transmission
of metals would have been scoffed at
by the most ignorant. Now Professor
Emmens has merely to cite few mys-
FERROUS chemical "analogies" and put
his claims in the Sunday papers to find
thousands of fairly well-educated read
ers ready to believe that silver has been
made into gold. A process for extract
ing gold from sea water was no less en-
ticing, and, on the whole, the time
seems ripe for carrying out DR.. Swift's
project for extracting sunshine from
cucumbers. In the popular mind there
is { sort of awe of the astonishing
achievements of recent science and a
difficulty in drawing the line between
the possible and the impossible. If we
can see through Opaque bodies, hear
music across the continent, bottle up
the voices of our dear friends, tele-
graph without wires and light rooms
without visible connections why not
make things go Of themselves?
