SMOKE AND ClNDER
CONVEYOR.


& An annoyance of no small dimen-
sions seems to be overcome by the de-
vice illustrated herewith, which has
just been patented by four Louisville
(Ky.) inventors. The object is to pro-
vide a conductor which will receive the
cinders and gases from the stack of a
locomotive and discharge them at the
rear end of the train, the purpose of
this device being to prevent the smoke
and cinders from coming in contact
with the cars or passengers. A subor-
dinate object is to provide for the di-
rect passage Of the smoke when the
engine is at a standstill, which is ac-
3complished by placing a hinged cap
directly over the vertical stack, with.
means for opening it from the cab Of.

Since the first American monitor
went to the bottom Of the sea off Cape
Hatteras hundreds Of crafts, from the
fishing smacks to the liner, have been
Its victims, and thousands of lives have
been lost in its stormy waters. Real
king this constant menace to the navi-
gator, the government has spent mil
lions of dollars trying to find some
thing which will give suitable warning
to ships. Time and again lighthouses
have been planned, and the work got
ZEN well under way, but sooner or later,
often after months Of work, the treach-
erous quicksands have engulfed the
most solid foundations and sometime a.
single night OF storm has demolished
the structure. Floating buoys OF yari-
Gus kinds have been tried, but these
have also been quickly washed away.

the most brilliant success at the. Scala
on March 8. 1872 Verdi was not at
the performance. He simply went to
the theater at the close Of the piece,
noted the success Of his work, returned
to his garnet and went to bed. He was
still sleeping when, at dawn, there was
a knock al. his door. Mereli entered.
Knowing that several Of his confreres
would be sure to make propositions
to Verdi, he determined to be the early
bird. The conditions Of the garnet con-
WINGED him that he had a first class
chance to make a good bargain, and
he remembered that Donizetti sold his
Elizire d'Amore' for 500 francs
How much do you want for your
opera?', he asked. Il Thirty thousand
francs" said Verdi. Merelli started
what did you say % he gasped. II
said 10000 francs, Z replied Verdi, with
the greatest GOODNESS, because you got
up at s. o. clock in the morning to come
to see me. This evening the price will
4 be so 900. After some discussion Mer-
/ ELI handed over his check, after which
he went home. and took to his bed,
where he remained for two months
suffering from jaundice. On account
of that jaundice he became the laugh
ing stock Of all Milan, and old artists
xsti1l speak Of it. The rest of Verdi's
history is known. No one merited the
glorious triumphs more than he did,
because his heart, his mind and his
character reached the heights of tai
ent. His generous soul was vast and
noble, like his genius. . .5.:.:ss q.

periments have shown that a large per-

The III SASKATOON DISTRICT.
ONE ONE OF THE NEW WESTERN
mn 55I* CANA DISTRICTS.
The Tho s Great Advantages OF settlements
IN Where the Soil Is OF Unex-
ampled Fertility. Fl Il

curing )lII1ln the past year or two a largo
number 11 bel Of American settlers (those
going from the United States to Can
ada have made homes in the Saska-
toon district in Western Canada. They
have found the climate all that could
be desired and their prospects are Of
the brightest. IN writing Of it a cor
respondent says:
The lands for sale are choice selec-
tons from q large area, and every
farm rs within easy distance Of a rail-
way station. Experience has shown that
this district enjoys immunity from
summer frost, from cyclones and biz
yards. The South Saskatchewan,
flowing through the tract, is one Of
the finest rivers in the country, be-
Ing naVigable and having an average
width Of stream OF ]. 900 feet. z
The agents Of the Canadian govern
ment, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in your paper and who will
abe pleased to furnish full information,
tell me that within the limits OF the
tract there are two distinct varieties
Of soil. One is a rich black loan, and
the other is a somewhat lighter loan,
containing a small admixture Of sand.
There appears to be no appreciable
difference between the fertility of these
two kinds Of soil. Both are alluvial
in their characteristics, both are mar
yelously productive, and both rest
upon a subsoil Of clay. The ad-
vantage Of this formation is that it
retains the heat Of the day during the
night, and is favorable to the early
maturity ma q crops: Every kind Of
crop viii here attain the highest per-
lection of quality. The land is admir-
ably adapted for stock-raising and
dairy farming, as well as growing
grain. Some idea Of the richness of
the natural grasses of the prairie may
be formed from the fact that more
than 200 tons Of hay were gathered
within a short distance OF Saskatoon
and stored up for use during the Win
ter. A growth SO luxuriant demon
gtrates beyond all possible question the
suitability of the land for pasturing
cattle, and no doubt this important in
dustry will be largely carried on.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to this territory. Not only Is the soil
of unexampled fertility but the climate
is delightful and healthy. Such is the
testimony OF every settler, and this
testimony is confirmed by enthusiastic
opinions from every traveller, explorer,
missionary or newspaper correspond
emit who has ever visited this far
famed Saskatchewan Valley. In form
er years vast herds of buffalo came
here to winter from the elevated
storm-swept regions south OF the
United States boundary line, proving
thereby the adaptation Of these rolling
prairies to the purpose r. of raising
stock. The land is dry, with sufficient,
but not excessive rainfall, capable OF
early cultivation in the spring, and
free from summer frosts. The confg-
uration Of the country renders artif-
cial drainage unnecessary, and pre-
vents the accumulation of stagnant
pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen
