was Thomas Drummond, born and educated at Edinburgh. Drummond entered the army (royaI engineers) through the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. He soon gave evidence, however, of such an inventive and methodical genius that he gradually passed into the government survey of Great Britain and Ireland, a work which was pushed forward with great vigor after the close of the Napoleonic wars He invented the limelight ap- paratus, which was afterwards known as Drummond's light. After short service as private secretary to chan cellor of the exchequer he twas made under-secretary of state for Ireland in 1885. In less than five years he car. ried through the task of defining the boundaries of Irish boroughs and of ~ - E-4 48 mSsar

WATERT0WN JOTTINGS
Yesterdays Storm Did Severe Dam
 age in Many Places.


 The storm which ragged here all day yesterday did severe damage to high ways in several places, the roads in many places being flooded to depth of 10 or 12 inches. 1t was a common sight to see pedestrians attempt to ford large streams of water which had flown over the highway and in many cases the pedestrians were obliged to turn back and resume their journey over a more fordable part of the road. The damage however, was partly off, set by the good the rain did in starting the grass to growing, and the grass last evening looked nearly as green as it sometimes looks in the month of May
 James Mosier, a brakeman on the lo~ cal branch of the Consolidated road, while at work coupling two cars togeth- CT yesterday, had the misfortune to be caught between them and suffered the breaking of his collar bone. l. A son was born to MT and Mrs George A. Harper Sunday.

introducing municipal reform. Ee was most active in promoting Irish railways. Best of all, he founded that splendid force which is now called the Royal Irish Constabulary. MT. Drum mond died all too soon in 1s4o, worn out by the fatigue and exposure con- sequent on his work connected with the survey of Ireland and the mapping of the railways. Had he lived he cer- tainly would have brought about land settlement, and he might have put an end for ever to the woes of Ireland.
 Before his death, however, he had reorganized the police force of Ire land. He made it a single body of care fully recruited men, to be called the Constabulary of Ireland, and to be controlled by one officer, entitled in. spector-general, under the direct orders nominally of the lord lieuten- ant, actually of the Irish secretary. With the exception of Dublin which has Metropolitan police force, also directly dependent onthe government, the Royal Irish Constabulary Gas it was renamed by her late majesty in 1s67) is the only police force in Ire- land. It performs the ordinary duties of town police as well as that of a country constabulary. It is force which is far more military in it's train ing than any police in England or Scotland. The Royal Irish Constabu- lary may be said to have saved Ireland from anarchy and rebellion. It is re- cruited almost entirely in Ireland, though, according to it's constitution, it; is not prescribed that recruits may not come from other parts of the unit ed kingdom. The standard height in recruits must not be below five feet eight inches. As matter of fact I should think that the average stature of the constabulary was five feet ten inches. The men who join it come all parts, of Ireland. They are usually the sonsof small farmers, of that class which is just above the peasant. In these families 1t is said that the sons are disposed of as follows: The eldest son will succeed his father on the land, the second son becomes a priest, the third son policeman, the fourth son emigrates, and the fifth son--if the family contains so many generally enlists in the army The present strength of the constabulary is about 13,0o0 officers and men. The officers are either selected by promotion from the position of head constable, or are nominated by the chief secretary for Ireland, who usually selects the sons of officers who have already served in this force.
