HONOR DUE TO CANADA.
The First Vessel to Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit of
history in connection with early steam
navigation on The ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable Kivas Tully on his
election to the presidency of the re-
Gently organized Engineers club of To-
ronto. says the Engineering News.
This was to the effect that 20 the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side.
The steamship was called the Royal
William. commanded by Capt. McDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
5, 1898, arriving at Gravesend on Sep
TENDER II, having steamed the whole
distance.
This seems at first sight to contradict
the well-known claims to priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic. The Savannah,
however, on her memorable voyage
from Savannah to Liverpool MAY &c,
1919, to June 20, 1870 used her engines
during IS days and progressed under
sail the remainder of the time. the pad
dlewheels being hoisted on board when
moi in use.
The Royal William. therefore, APP
pears TO have been the first vessel to
make the vayoge using steam for the
whole distance.

CHEAP ELECTRICITY.
City of Chicago Now Thinks of Using
Her Drainage Canal for
Power Purposes.

Not content with getting rid of her
sewage by means of the great drainage
canal that Chicago has been construct
ing for several years, the city is now
planning to utilize the current for pow
er purposes, and to develop electricity
for lighting and other uses, as soon as
the canal goes into service year or so
hence. At the western extremity OF
the canal where the stream discharges
into the Desp!anes river, dam is now
being built. At this point head of 16
feet will he secured.
Two routes have been under consid-
GRAFTON. One, known as the western,
would have involved a cost of S622 900
for right of way and construction The
other, called the central route, was
shorter, less expensive, and likely to
yield more power. This has been
adopted, and il is estimated that the
enterprise will cost only S265,o00. 1t is
hoped that about $4,000 or 10000 horse
power will be realized with the maxi
mum flow, at present, and at some flu
ture time as much as 10000 will be
available. Joliet, perhaps, will share
with Chicago the use of the current to
hc developed.

PAY FOR THE SOCIETY NEWS.
Those Whose Names Get in Print in
London Must Pay Big Prices
for the Notice.

All the personal paragraphs and So
ciety news that appear in the London
papers are paid for except that which
relates to the royal family, the nobility
and the diplomatic corps. says the Phil
adelphia Times. If an ordinary citizen
gives a ball or marries off his daughter
or entertains the prince OF Wales at
dinner he is compelled to pay for his
glory. Mrs. John w. Mackay, Mr.. Viii
liam Waldorf Aston and other ordinary
persons, native or foreign, in London
society pay for every notice they re-
ceive in the newspapers. Sometimes
the report of ball or wedding costs
$500 or $500 for every newspaper it APP
pears in. The following standing an
nouncement concerning what is known
as the agony column" will be founJ
in the London papers:
"All society, personal and fashion
able paragraphs, except those relating
to royalty and official incidents, viii be
charged for at minimum rate of one
guinea for two lines, each succeeding
line ten shillings and siSpence addi-

BUGS ON THEIR COLLARS.
Fashionable Men Now Wearing
Queer Devices In Jewelry on
Their Neckvyear.

When somebody starts new idea in
wearing apparel or any other matter
which interests humanity, the idea is
seized upon with avidity. This is es-
pecially true of man, for the only
changes he can encompass are with
reference to the cut of coat or trousers.
He must appear in a suit of sables in
the evening with the same robbery OF
the skirts of the coat which marked
the dawn of 1912. SO when anything
new does come up it is apt to receive fer
vent hail.
When the much-touted kissing bug
came before the lime lights some man
became possessed of an idea. That idea
consisted of drawing an outline sketch
of some bug or BEETLE upon the white
collars of mankind. Bugs of the most
horrible and fear-inspiring appearance
were drawn with forcep-lke beaks, APP
parently casually lingering on the col
lar with intent to sample the life fluid
of the wearer.
The great advantage this device pos
sessed was that it inspired the friends
of the wearer to make vain efforts to
remove the bug. First the rescuer
would make wild waves of his hands
with view to soaring the bug. But
this failing he would make frantic
grab and encounter merely the glossy
stiffness of the collar. Then he would
set up the drinks. The device is be-
ing worn to considerable extent, but
its efficacy in reducing thirst is on the
wane

WOMEN'S CLUBS ODD NAMES.
A Member of Titles Which Are
Rather Enigmatic and DifH-
cult TO Pronounce.

The won1an's club movement has as
sumed such an extent that it has attract
ed the attention ot the United States
department of labor, which has recent
~ issued an elaborate report on the at
titude of women's clubs toward social
economics, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. Accompanying the arr
ticle are some statistics which indicate
that there are few settlements of any
size in our glorious country without
womans club. The name. location and
purpose of each of 1883 women's clubs
are given in detail, and it appears that
this by no means exhausts the hist. An
examination of the list shows that next
to the local title of woman's club Shake
speare's name is favorite one.
There are number of titles which
are rather enigmatic. What, for in
stance, is the meaning of 1.-THE Leshche,"
the name of club at Dalton, Ga?

"Heptorean" of Somerville, Mass; the
"Alsbicc" of Grand Rapids, the "Chiro-
pean" and the "Photerone," both of
Brooklyn. and the "Ardirhebriah" of
Providence. Such names as 'Tekcos-
now and "So-go-ye-wat-ha are per-
haps of Indian origin. There is a frank
ness in the title of "Old Maids Social

anything descriptive is meant by the
title of the "Nashaway" club of Nashua,

for on every possible occasion, and
without warning were dragged away
to the capital to suffer sentences of

on the Luneta. Executions that were
made much of by the Spanish residents
and always gowned in their best. The
dungeon prisons were filled to over

being transported to the Spanish penal
settlements in Africa and other remote
places.
Of all those interested in this whole

Jealous than was Archbishop Bernar-
dino NoZa leda. He advocated eXtermi-

executions.
During this time the society of the
natives sent a petition TO the mikado OF
Japan praying for him to annex the is
lands to his domain. There were 5000
Filipino names on that petition. and the
mikado, instead of acting upon it as
the natives desired, forwarded it to the
Spanish government at Madrid, from
whence it was returned to the governor
general at Manila Thus 5000 names OF
known members of the society were
placed in the hands ofthe authorities,
of which they made iull use.
In one day 800 suspected persons were
seized in Manila alone at the instigation
of the friars. Many of these were ex-
ecuted without trial. Others were ban
ished And still others died in the dun
geon prisons.
Into the terrible prison known as the
"black hole of Manila" there were
thrust more than 100 prisoners in one
night, and then every opening that

MOSQUITOES OF THE WORLD.
An ExtenaIve Collection of the Pests
Ii Now Being Made by the
British Museum.

I'VE are at present busy making a
collection of mosquitoes from all parts
of the world for the purpose of investi-
eating the theory of malaria being sole
ly contracted from mosquito bites, and
out of box of so from Malta only about
seven or eight were true mosquitoes.
That shows how widespread error is,
said Ernest Austen, of the natural his
torv department of the British museum
who knows more about mosquitoes
than ordinary people ever imagined
there was to learn, says the London
Leader.
And have you come to any conclu-
sion regarding the malarial theory?
"Well. of course, that's rather out of
my province. But | may say that it
has been proved that it is undoubtedly
contracted from mosquito bites at
times, and we expect to find that 1t is
always So We have proved that bird
diseases in India are spread by the bite
of parasites peculiar to them, and 1t is
likely we shall learn that malaria is the
result of mosquitoes. II that is SO, the
next thing to do will be to stamp out
mosquitoes"
Easier said than done, isn't it"'
queried the Leader representative.
1.-THE pools where they breed must
be filed up--they cannot exist without
water--and ere long the mosquito will
take its place with the great aux and

This society, known to the natives as
the Katipunan, was simply patriot
ic league. Its members banded them
selves together for the purpose of some
day, none knew when, fighting for Fill
Pine freedom, or at least resisting the
steady encroachments of the friars. 1T
was organized and enlarged with all
the means of secrecy known to the ma
tives. It's meetings were held in the
depths of the marshy jungles, and
there, in the light of Pickering fires,
new recruits took the vows demanded
by the signing of the blood compact.
The blood compact is one of the
forms handed down from the times of
the discovery of the Philippines, and
serves as a striking example of ma
tive costumes. When Magellan first
visited the islands and met with re-
sistance from the native chiefs, he
signed treaty of peace by this same
form, or at least by the form as it was
then known, which is practically the
same as it exists to-day. Blood is
drawn from the breast of the recruit
signing the compact, and from that of
one already a member. 1t is exchanged
and drank by the different parties, and
then with his own blood the recruit
signs the roll of the society.
So il was in the jungle gatherings.

existence and classed il as form of
free masonry so obnoxious to the
church. Through the friars it was
called TO the attention of the home gov
eminent, and so strong was the hold
OF the church upon the government that
orders were given that il should be
stamped out, and the powers given the
friars TO accomplish this.
Armed with this authority, the friars
became the "famliars" of centuries
gone by. Denunciations by hundreds
quickly followed, the priests willingly
availing themselves of this pretext TO
get well rid of despsed anti-clericals.

I'M URlNG the earlier centuries of
III what is classed as modern his
~ tory all Europe witnessed the
brutality of the inquisition, the worst
of which was practiced by Spain. Con-
uuered nations chatting under brutal
Spanish rule felt the heaviest of their
burdens to be those inflicted by the
church and legalized by the Spanish
monarch. The dreaded "familiars"
were everywhere, and none, even the
most devout, felt secure from their
visits.
But that was in the days of but a
feeble civilizations; days when all the
so-called civilized portion of the world
was but emerging from the darkness
of the dark ages. Early in the eight
eenth century the inquisition was sup
posedly abolished; the clergy lost their
hold of cruelty upon the people; the
dreaded familiars paid no more their
dreaded midnight visits, and the dawn
of a new era began for the world.
In the light of the advancement OF
civilization since the days of the in

Spain, nation that prides itself upon
