At meeting OF the New England As
ISOLATION Of Park Superintendent at
Hartford, a notable paper on Memorial
Of Souvenir Trees as a Means of En-
HANGING the Attractiveness of Our
Parks" was read by Thomas W.
Cook, the superintendent Of parks in New
Bedford. Mr.. Cook dwelt on the value
Of the associations connected with such
trees in inspiring patriotic sentiments and
in furnishing constant reminders of his
toric occurrences. He instanced various
famous historic trees in this country, and
he said that when Gen. Grant visited
Japan that country's advance in civiliza-
ton could not have been more siRnifi-
cantly indicated than in the sentimen,
which inspired the Emperor to invite him
to plant tree in commemoration of his
visit. And Mr.. Cook spoke Of the coin
cidence in sentiment when at Grants
tomb the Chinese minister planted a tree
as a tribute Of his people to the great
leaders memory.

The growing Importance of Boston as a
port for the arrival and departure OF
large transatlantic liners, particularly
those engaged in carrying passengers, has
led to the establishment by the Boston
chamber Of commerce of night service
at the observatory on Telegraph Hill,
Hull, in addition to the day service,
which has been maintained for many
years. The service will be similar to that
in vogue at Sandy Hook and Fire island,
below New York. An observer will be
on duty night and day, and steamships
approaching the harbor entrance in the
night time VIII be identified by the
private night signal of the company to
which they belong, and they will be
promptly reported to the chamber of com
merce and the news disseminated to those
interested through that association. The
night signals of the different lines consist
Of colored coston lights and roman
candles, and by this means the identity

Gerow D. Brill all official lately in the

opinion that the prohibition on the i'm

The Chinese have arSenals and smoke

coast, at Hanyang, near Hankow; at
Marking, at Chengtu, in Sczuchuan, and,
l believe, also at Canton. or somewhere
near. At Hanyang before the recent

teen rifles day; but then they were not
pushing things. Now all is changed. The
factories are working at full pressure
night and day. Some hundreds of rifles
are probably produced daily now. Then
they have all the machinery and metal
for casting s; big guns; They also make
are magazine rifles, taking six cartridges
At Hanyang they started to build pow

did not progress very rapidly till the Box

Horse-Chestnuts as Food.

Horse-chestnuts contain about q per
cent. Of albumen, this remarkable proper
ton being greater than is found in any
cultivated plants, but their bitter taste,
of bitter resin, has condemned them as
unfit for food. BY extracting the bitter
principle, Flugge, of Hanover, claims to
have made useful another waste material.
After partial roasting to loosen the shells,
the kernels are removed and pulverized.
and the powder is placed in a tight per-
colator with alcohol for about a week. To
extract the bitter completely 1t may be
necessary to replace the fluid with fresh
solvent. The alcohol dissolves out the
resin, leaving pleasant and nutritious
meal, which contains all the albumen and
starch of4the chestnuts, and is a valuable
food. The spirit is purified by distillation
and used repeatedly

FIRST CANAL AT $780,"
Engineer who Designed the Lock.
Again Visits Upper Peninsular.

Engineer who Designed the Locks
Again Visits Upper Peninsular.
Col. c. T. Harvey of Ottawa, Ont, has
written to friends in the Lake Superior
district that he intends to pay Houghton
visit in the near future, says the Min
ing Gazette. Col. Harvey is one of the
men who assisted in building the ship
canal, and was largely interested in the
Hcughton county lands.
Col. Harvey was the promoter Of the
original ship canal and locks at Sault
Ste. Marie, upon which work was begun
June i. 1858. and completed April 49,,
1855, The canal was built by corpora
ton known as the St. Mary's Falls Ship
Canal company, and Col. Harvey was
the engineer in charge and, in fact, gen
eral factotum. The United States gov
eminent transferred 100000 acres of
land in Michigan to the state to defray
the cot Of fd the RGroeet and the
acre, the selections being made by Col.
Harvey. out Of the public domain OF the
Wolverine state. Among the lands Sc
!ected by him was the land now compris-
ing the Calumet & Hecla copper mine
in the upper peninsula, a property that
fabulous dividends, amounting to many
millions of dollars.
''Of course" said the colonel in an
interview, with a smile, I'VE did not
know that such a valuable mine existed
there, but the property was considered
Of mineral value even then, and we sold
it for $GO,OOO,, which was deemed a good
price. l had nothing to do with the dis
posing of the property personally, but
recall that this was the price paid for
the Calumet 4 Hecla location. The ship
canal company sold all of the lands Sc
lected in lower Michigan, but still retains
about two-thirds of the 100000 acres Sc
lected in the upper peninsula.
The first boat to pass through the new
locks was the steamer Illinois, in May,
1855.

1t is more than 200 years ago that the
Dutch population of st. Helena ap-
preached ANYTHING like the figures just
returned by Gov. Sterndale. 1t is owing,
of course. to the large number Of Boer
prisoners now there. The Dutch took
possession Of the island early in the Sew
enteenth century, and remained there un-
til 1851, when the colony removed to the
Cape of Good Hope. st. Helena was
then taken over by the British East In
dia company: and held down to 1884. On
two occasions the Dutch attacked and
captured the island. the first time in
1865. the second in 1873, but each time
they were soon expelled. Population
and revenue had been rapidly falling
ever since the cutting Of the Suez canal,
but both are now rising, and there will
probably be a permanent Dutch colony

There promises to be an abundance
Of imported almonds and scarcity of
raisins during the coming holiday sea-
son. Reports to the state department in
dictate that the almond growers Of Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Sicily and Morocco
have just had one Of the best seasons
known for years. Bari, Italy, is the
principal almond market OF Europe and
the crop there is the largest ever known,
amounting to $4,000 tons. This is due
not only to the favorable season, but
to the great increase in almond-bearing
trees. The Jordan almonds are grown
in the provinces Of Malaga, Granada
and Almeria, and the entire crop,
amounting to about 10000 boxes Of 25
and % pounds each, is exported to Eng
land and the United States. These are
undoubtedly the finest almonds grown in
Europe. This was a poor year for the
raisin crop of Turkey, as last year was
big one for the Greek currant crop.
