The region of maximum temperature is an extensive area on the Persian gulf part of the south western coast of Persia. This territory includes the Bahrein or Ayal Islands.

cANADA,s GREATEST GLORY.
Vast and Ancient Wilderness That Rests
 the Traveller.

The greatest glory of Canada is not its modern progress, but it's vast and ancient wilderness, says Seribners. If you weary of the sameness and IT rolf ;tableness of everything you know, go where I went last year, to the upper waters of the Ottawa, where the beaver is the master architect and the moose is king of the woods. See for yourself, as saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga tineau, appearing to come from widely distant regions, have their origin close together and are twins Behold these two children of the lakes, nourished from the same generous breast. Trace their courses and see that. though iourneying far in widely different di- rections, they finally arrive at con- mon destination. Nobody knows all about that headWater country around the sources of the Ottawa. It is a prolific game region, where sportsmen rarely go, for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the railroad. There are plenty of deer close to almost any Canadian Pacific station west of Penn broke, and it is not much trouble to get chance at a moose in two days from Deux Rivieres, Rockcliffe, or Mattawa Not many hunting parties start from there, either. and I suppose l the reason is that for thousands Of miles to the west the woods, prairies i and mountains lie close to the railroad and afford almost limitless opportuni- ties. The territory inclosed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been l from immemorial times the home or the Algonquin Indians, and they still remain there, In such primitive inno7 cence that they receive no annuity l from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States or their brother tribes of | Canada

Washington special Minneapolis Journal One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch eargoes in a few hours time. and it is no strange thing to see a hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had 33,000 pounds of halibut caught off the Alaskan coast in three and a half days by eighteen men. At three cents per pound this cargo was worth s3,900.

Tortured Spanish Prisoners.


 h view of the inquiry which it Is understood has been granted by the Spanish government into the charges of torturing prisoners in the casemates of Montjuich. in Spain. it may be of interest to set out some of the items in the indictment made against the authorities. It is said, in the first place, that reward of 10000 pesetas was offered to any jail official who could extort an ayowal of guilty from prisoner. Acting under this stimu- Jus the jailers are stated to have forced the wretched creatures under their control to run round their cells day and night for eighty hours at stretch. heavy whips being used to keep the victims awake. The officials are also said to have deprived them of all food save salt stock fish and ardent spirits, confession being the price of glass of water. Not feE paid it. slaked their thirst, and, it is contend ed, were surnmarily shot. It is further alleged that wedges were driven under the nails of the prisoners with ham, mers and allowed to remain until the nails sloughed away. Even mere nor rible mutilations are stated not to have, been uncommon. One of the most cruel devices was, it is affirmed, a machine like divers helmet, fitted with tube allowing the victim to breathe, while a screw compressed slowly the sides and top, thus produc- ing inconceiyable agony. One pris- oner Moras, is stated to have under gone this torture more than once, and to have been driven mad by it.

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES
Frauds in the Construction of the sI-
 berian Railway.

berian Railway.
 1t is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tutelage of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would have been apt pupils. They certainly have trick or two that would put their American compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works have been executed in man her that shows very little conscience everything, or nearly everything, will have to be done over again before the authorities can think of throwing open this gigantic line to regular working. In very many places the road gives way on the passage of a train a little heavier than usual or travelling at a speed of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or. less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage is demanded of any one undertaking a journey on this rail- way. This construction a la Russo has already swallowed up hundreds of mll- lions of rubles, or, to speak more truthfu1ly, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how 1t will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are moreover, closely controlled by the local censors. publish the following statements: For several months the navyy contractors have not been paid ln cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de clared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at S1a per cent. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and in consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as intermedia- ries between the government engineers and the contractors. It was only when one of these engineers. Prince A. who had made fortune, undertook to be personally responsible to the
 
 of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly, seeing that he claims a little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing to the clause inserted in all the con tracts to the effect that disputes be- Sween the engineers and the contract ors of the line have to be settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge a complaint 6,000 miles from the spot where the circumstances have occurred is at least inconvenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu- nate navvies themselves can be imag- ined from the treatment of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very irregularly and always with deduc- tions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it is not surprising if they give only half heart to the work"

A stradivarius Sold for Dollar.

Apropos of fiddles, here is good story. While on a visit to the exhibi- tion in Paris in 1867 a wealthy San Francisco merchant purchased Stra- divarius for some $1,500, and on his death the treasure was left to his son. The latter has just died, and in ac- cordance with the provisions of his will the precious possession was sent to an auction sale. After examination by ex- perts in the auctioneer's establishment 1t was knocked down for dollar! It was simply a German made fiddle of the poorest quality. The most amus- ing thing is that the two possessors of 1t, both father and son, considered 1t much too precious to be played on.
