The arbitration CLAUSE. coupled as II Is
with a provision TO the effect that the
whole franchise may be repealed if the
street railway lines are not operated in
accordance with the requirements of the
ordinance, is held to be as efficient as any
regulation that the city council can make
on the subject.
The court expresses the opinion that
general language Is better In such cases
than particular reference to all suppo-
sititious cases, since in case particular
method or arbitration were provided for,
Ii might be found whollye insufficient at
some future time, and the council would
have then no power to make any change.
Whereas, by the language employed in
the ordinance. arbitration Is required in
general terms. in a way that fully COM

4 Cold NIGHT In NADIA.

The Sky at night is a deep dark blue,

fire. so close they seem to be almost
within reach. The northern lights look

drawn in great. bold strokes across
the heavens.

UP by the wind and glittering high in
the air like diamonds. But it is q cold
night, and you are not sorry to get into
your room. First of all, you take a
blanket or so from the bed, for there
are people in Canada who sleep all the
year round with only a sheet over
them, to such a pitch Of perfection
have they brought the heating OF their
rooms.

magnified. But you know what it
means here, SO you only draw the
clothes closer round you, thankful that
you are snug and warm. And so good

The Future OF Our Legs.

Professor Yung of the University Of
Guef, Switzerland, entertains great
fears concerning the future of our
lower limbs This sage is of the opin-
ion that within the next thousand
years human beings will have forgot
ten how to use their legs, and that
these limbs, if evolution will not do
away with them, will serve as mere
ornaments to the rest Of the body
Professor Yung states that at the
present age human beings show a de-
cided aversion to personal or physical
locomotion, and this is more manifest
every time new automatic travelling
instrument is invented and rendered
practical. Steam, electricity, cable
power and the different velocipede ma
chimes all bear an influence over us
and create a dislike for walking, and
the future generations will likely have
the convenience of Siderable airshipS
at their windows and electric auto
mobiles at their doors, and these con-
every one can own them, and this
means the doom of our legs.
The latter will be regarded as super
fuOus appendages, no use will be made
of them, and who knows but that they
may disappear altogether? But so
much more will our arms develop in
length and strength These are the
cruel laws Of evolution, and it will be
due to their FRANKS that future gen
erations will again resemble the apes.
There will come another epoch OF short
legs and long arms

The Soufriere, or sulphurous noun
tain, is considered to be the greatest
natural curiosity of st. Lucia, and in
fact, of the West midas. It is situated
about half an hours ride from the
town of Soufriere, to which it has
given it's name, and nearly two miles
to the east of the Pitons, and is at the
foot of two small hills, both of which
are quite bare of vegetation on the
sides facing the crater. It covers a
space of about three acres, and is crust
ed over with sulphur and alum. There
are several caldrons in a perpetual
state of ebullition. The water is quite
black in the larger ones, but in the
smaller ones it is quite clear. Visitors
never fail to boil some eggs in one Of
the smaller caldrons, obtaining them
from one Of the creole guides, who
keeps a supply on hand for that pur-
pose.

Do Ants PlantH

Ants are very industrious seed COL
1ectors, and may be seen toiling along
their paths laden with seeds, which
are stored up in granaries in the nest.
In the clear space round the nest there
is frequently a patch or patches Of a
peculiar kind Of grass that produces
seeds that are much sought after by
the ants. It has been said that the
ants make the clearing, and SOW the
seed Of this grass on purpose to reap
the crop, but evidence is yet wanting
to show that the grass is intelligently
sown and not accidentally. The fact
remains, however, that on or around
many nests there are crops of the
grass, and that it is not destroyed like
other vegetation by the ants.

The Rats They Eat.

'"The current impression that China
men eat rats-I mean ordinary Ameri-
can rats-is all nonsense" said DR..
James J. Mason, a we'll known Chi
nese missionary, chatting about his ex
periences in the Flowery Kingdom.
''The truth in regard to it is this:
There is a small animal in China
known colloquially as the tsui-chow,
that is often bred especially for food.
1t infests the ricefelds, and is about
the size Of an ordinary rat, but has a
longer body and head shaped some
thing like that Of ferret. 1t is q very
prolific creature and is sold in enOr-
nous numbers in all the markets of the
great cities-neatly cleaned and skew
cred apart and strung ID punches of
20 or 80 on bamboo reeds.
'The tsui-chow is strictly an edible
animal, and, feeding entirely on rice, it
naturally has very delicate and savory
flesh. 1 have eaten them, and if I had
been able to get the rat idea out of my
mind would have relished the dish.
They taste something like young squir-
rels, and alive or dead are certainly
much less repulsive than many things
we commonly esteem as delica cias-
cells and frogs, for example,"
