IN LITERATURE AND ART.
Royalty Hopin. to find There Fresh
Worlds to Conquer.

If the name of Emperor William does
not appear in the catalogue of the exhi-
bition of the Berlin academy of arts
that opens shortly, the hanging com
mittee of that institution had better
look out for squalls. If they We're to
reject the picture he has sent in, the
kaiser wellld be quite capable of order
ing them out to instant execution, or
of writing down the exhibition in the
columns of any newspaper that would
accept imperial art criticism. The
painting represents, we are told "a
maneuvcr at sea, black clouds of smoke,
torpedo-s, guns and boats tossed upon
raging waves The description is
rather ineoharent. Probably the pic
turs is, too. But there is no fear that
the loyal Berlincrs will be deprived of
the chance of feasting their eyes upon
it. There is one magnificent feature
abe at the canvas that would secure its
acceptance in almost any exhibition in
the world. That is the signature,
civilian |. r.. 1875" which appears in
the right hand corner. The effect
which these simple words and figures
viii produce upon the minds of humble
minded believers in the divine right OF
kings could not be equalcd by any
artist in Europe.
All the great ones Of the earth seem
to be going in either for art or litera-
ture nowadays. Prince Nicholas OF
Montenegro has just completed drama
in verse, which is shortly to be acted
and afterward published in st. Peters
burg The prince is said already tc
have achieved some local reputation
as poet. The phrase is excellent
One can imagine the following epitaph
being compiled for William H.. "He
was for many years king of Timbuctoc
and BithYnia, and he achieved some 10
cal reputation as marine painter ant
drawing-room song writer" Their
there is another prince-Troubetsk
to-wit-who has just had an opera o
his own composition produced at Mos
cow. 1t will soon hardly pay anyon,
who is not a crowned head to write o.
paint or compose anything at all.

CANYONS OF STONE.
Defensss of the Fortress of Malta Cut Gu
of the Living Rock.

The most wonderful cannons on
record are those which are described
by Byrdone, whose travels in Sicily and
Malta won well-deserved renown
toward the end of the last century.
Many facts and stories he recounts that
seem strangely oldworld to us,
though the date is little more than one
hundred years ago, so grandly did the
French revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders, more or
less droll, while the knights held it,
but nothing equaled the stone guns.
Everybody knows that the fortifica-
lions were cut ont of solid rock, but
Brydone was right in saying that a
kind of ordnance used to defend them
was unknown to all the world besides.
As we understand his description, the
knights left a great block of stone
where they followed out an embrasure
in the cliff, which afterward they
shaped and bored in the form of a
gigantic mortar. These engines con-
tanned whole barrel of gunpowder
That shoyeled in, they plugged it with
a great piece of wood, fitted exactly to
the bore, as wadding, and loaded up
with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials.
About fifty of these remarkable guns
commanded the spots which hostile
ship was most likely to approach.
"The mouths of some are six feet
wide, and they are able to throw ten
thousand pounds weight of balls or
stones.' The range is not stated, but
the falling projectiles covered an area
Of over three hundred square yards.

For the student of socia. science
there is food for reelection in the fact
that an advertisement for "a person OF

TO MAKE MINING CHEAPER
Low Grade Properties Can Be
Worked With Profit.

A meeting of stockholders of the
Rankin Mining & Milling Company
which has extensive mining inter
ests on Rapid River in the Black
lake district was held at Chicago
January 20. At this meeting
company was organized under a
new name and officers elected for
The ensuing year. The company
is capitalized for 100000, di-
vided into 100000 shares of
par value of s. 90 per share. The
company is incorporated under the
laws of the state of Arizona and
the name changed to the Rankin
Chemical Reduction company. The
main Office of the company is in
the New York Life Building,
Chicago, branch offices at New
York and Pittsburg
Following are the officers elected:
President, IL. ID. Rankin; first
vice president, A. b. Crossman;
second vice president, b. b. RAN
kin; secretary and treasurer, E. L.
Griffith. The board of directors
are: IL. d. Rankin, A. B. Cross
man, +. l.. Griffith, b. J. Mack
and John II. Rooney. John H.
Hill, of Chicago, is attorney for
the company.
The incorporators and directors
are men of wealth and prominence
IN Chicago, Pttsburg and New
York, and are amply able to carry
out the operations of magnitude
planned by them in the develop
ment OF their mines and the manu-
featuring and introducing of their
process of reducing mineral bear
ing ores, into foreign countries.
A model OF plant showing the
system by which they reduce the
ore is being constructed in Pitts
burg which, as soon as completed,
will be taken by Mr.. III. ID. RAN
kin, the inventor, to European
countries where the model will
be exhibited and patents procured.
The company also controls the
right to manufacture all acids, etc. i,
used in connection with their pro-
cess.
If the Rankin process of ore re-
duetion proves success, Of which
there appears to be no doubt, as it
has been given a thorough test by
metallurgists and chemists, it will
revolationize the cost of mining, as
properties now considered to be Of
too low grade to work can be han.

Knew All About Him.

A pupil in an English boarding school
recently wrote the following compost
ton on Sir Walter Raleigh: "Sir Wal
ter Raleigh was a very great man. He
went over and discovered America; and
when he had discovered America he
discovered Virginia. He discovered the
potato. And when he had discovered
the potato he discovered tobacco. And
when he had discovered tobacco he
turned to his companions and said: NV
friends, be of good cheer, for we have
this day in England lit such fame as
| trust by Gods grace shall never be
extinguished.'
Owing to the breaking of an &c.
centric rod at the power house
Monday evening the town was de.
prived of electric lights. Manager
NanBuren got it fixed the next
day and the plant is again running.
A new rod has been ordered from
the east. which will be installed
Immediately upon its arrival. By
this time next year it is hoped to
have the power generated down on
the Clearwater and transmitted to
town, which will give us a much
better system than the present IA
cilities afford.
