Canadian Bishops Long Walk,

Bishop Newnham, or the diocese cf
Moosonee, 1000 miles north of Winni-
peg and directly west of Hudson Bay,
arrived at Toronto, Canada, after
trip on snov-shOes of 1900 miles which
occupied upward of four months.
Leaving his see house, a log struc-
ture 1Jx20 feet, shortly before Christ
mas, the Bishop and his party of In
dans started for Toronto, pulling their
sleds after them. They Travelled at
the rate of twenty or twenty-five miles
n day. often with the thermometer
registering from twenty to forty de-
grees below zero, and sleeping at night
in great skin bags, made with the
hair turned inside. Sometimes they
woke in the morning to find them
selves buried under many feet of light
snow.
The Bishop and his little party ar
rived there in splendid health. He
had received no news from home since
the clcsc of navigation last fall anl
only few days ago on reaching the
outskirts OF this province did he learn
of the death of Queen Victoria.
Bishop Newman came to Toronto
to make an appeal on behalf of his
diocese and its work Situated in an
almost barren country, peopled by
few thousand half breeds, EsQuimaux
and Indi.ns, who suosist on hunting
and fishing, his people are badly in
need of assistance. In some years when
the product of the gun and the net
give out, the Indians have been re.
duced to eating dog flesh.

In the Grasp of "A Tiger.

The Wide World Magazine prints the
experiences &. hunter who had
most unpleasant encounter with a
man-eating tiger in Assam. He and
his companions were watching upon
the veranda OF their bungalow for this
same tiger and had grown sleepy. The
hunter, in despair OF a visit from the
tiger tha. night. leaned his rifle against
the wall. and put hand and arm. as
wall in order TO bend forward and
take final look outside.
At that moment he felt his wrist
seized in the jaws of the tiger with
such a grip that he was powerless to
resist. With a shout, Help The tiger
has got me-" he stepped backward of
the veranda To the ground. yielding
himself to the animal. as he knew that
a struggle would result in instant
death. The pain was excrutiating. for
the great teeth OF the tiger were
crushing Though the flesh and bones

with their guns beside them. In the
confusion OF their hasty awakening
fear seized them. and they rushed into
the bungalow. closing the eoors.
Meanwhile the victim OF the tigers
cunning was walking at the side OF
the man-eater every depression in the
ground causing him intense pain as

Tnrnrdnna and Ethcr Waves.

An ingenious mechanism has been
devised by an Englishman, by means
of which n submarine torpedo can he
stccred hy ether waves transmitted rs
in wireless tclegraphy. The torpedo
in addition to the usual explosive ap-
paratus, carries n Marconi cOherer, in
circuit with n relay and batter, and
this is so arranged that 1t governs the
movement of the ruddcr. A fine wire
attached TO metal float keeps the
torpedo in communication with the
air, and, consequently, with the ether
waves. BY means of n wireless trans
mltter the apparatus in the torpedo Is
actuated from the shore or from n
ship, and the torpedo's movements are
thus controlled

hat that would delight the most fas.
tidlous lady in Berlin.
That very evening, therefore, he
obtained sample cap and examined IL
closely. He found that its founda-
ton was of straw, and that on II was
built an amazing and gorgeous super
structure of cocks and pcacocks'
feathers. In front, too. was n small
framed mirror and round It were sew
eral silver coins and two of gold.
Next day he made further inquiries
and learned that sometimes the foun.
datlon Is an ordinary fcZ instead of
straw; that an embroidered 'kerchief
is invariably worn with the cap, fall
ing down 1t at the back, so as to pro-
tect the neck, and that the headgear
was introduced from Servia into Bos-
MIA about twenty years ago. What
surprised him most. however. was TO
learn that 1t is only married women
who wear this cap, and that II Is their
fixed rule To strip II OF all its feathers
after they are married one year, and
henceforth to wear only the founda-
tion of straw or a plain fez.
With three or four Bosnian caps
carefully packed in bandboxes he re-
turned TO work. and now his firm Is
debating whether 1t would be possi-
BILE to model from this picturesque
headgear hats that would commend
themselves to the fashionable women
of Berlin.-New York Herald.

A Novel Method of Keeping Poultry.

A ncighbor of mine, an enthusiastic

are small. The summer management
is very distinct from the winter plan.
The winter house is given up as soon
as it is warm enough for hens to
range about and they are turned out
into the orchard. a field of five or six
acres.
The shelter is known as the annex
and is not elaborate. Here are placed
$50 hens to run at will They are fed
twice a day. the first feed being soft
and generally a mixture of soft corn

of ground bone. The second feed is

strength so that II shall at least resist
any serious injury until the armOr Is
actually pierced through and through,
and In the latter case the damage TO

The special point that it is hoped to

The upper portion Of this armor is
fourteen inches thick down to a point

which 1t decreases to seven inches at
the bottom. The armor Is bolted TO an
elaborate system of framing forming
the portion OF the hull. 1t Is the eff
cheney of this framing that Is to form
the object Of the coming test. For this
purpose the target Is now being de-
signed by Captain Capps. 1t Will

"a VERY COSTLY TARGET |

D. Used as "a Mark.

Our naval experts are making ready
10 test new gun and n new explosive
in very elaborate fashion. No old war
ship being available. the Brooklyn
Naval Yard has received orders 20
make a dummy vessel. at a cost OF
$4,000 or $4,000, the side OF which
Is TO be an actual duplicate Of an actu-
al man-of-war.

battleships.
Upon this floating target will also
be trained the new Gathman torpedo
gun. One shot from this frlghtfully
destructive weapon may blow the
dummy war ship into spllnters.
Naval officers are now discussing the
question OF what avail II would be If

Small Ice Houses.

Much unnecessary mystery is thrown
about the subject of ice storage, but
it is all very simple, says American
Gardening. The chief points are 10
keep the ice out OF water at the top
by tight roof, well chinked in pack
ing. surrounded by foot Of sawdust
top, bottom and sides, to exclude air
and heat. and to have enough ice to
preserve itself.
For an ordinary family, including
cooling milk for butter, and the sup
ply of a large family refrigerator.
there should be a solid cube of ice
about 10X1Ox10 feet. This gives 1000
cubic feet, and as it weighs about
fifty pounds per cubic foot includes
joints and chinking, there will be
twenty-five tons. II we allow ten tons
for melting at top, bottom and sides,
during the entire season, it will leave
200 pounds per day for $50 days. For
family use alone, without milk cool
ing, cube SxSxS feet will do, giving
5l2 feet or thirteen tons.
1t is we'll to have an air space out
side OF the sawdust which surrounds
the ice though this is not absolutely
necessary.

Dangerous Rapids.

In "The Yangtze Valley" Mrs. Isa-
bella L. Bishop gives a vivid account
of boating in the rapids of the upper
Yangtze. The rapids themselves she
describes as "a hill Of raging water
with a white waterfall at the top,
sharp, black rocks pushing their
vicious heads through the foam. For
ty big junks were waiting their turn
to ascend.
My attention was occupied by a big
junk dragged by three hundred men,
which in two hours made hardly per-
ceptible progress, slipping back con-
stantly, although the drums were fran
tically beaten and the CANCERS rushed
madly along the lines of struggling
trackers, bringing their bamboo whips
down on them with more sound than
force
Suddenly the junk shivered, both
tow-ropes snapped, the lines Of track
ers went down on their faces. and in
moment the big craft was spinning
down the rapid; and before she could
be recovered by the bow-sweep she
flew up into the air as If she had ex-
ploded, mass Of spars and planks with
heads bobbins about in the breakers.

souls on board all but three were
