RASTfHG AKAY.

Some interesting facts concerning the changes in the sea coast of the United Kingdom are contained in the report
 of Q special committee read the other day before the British Association. It
 appears that Ireland is generally vast ing, though, on the whole, but slowly.
 The heavier losses seem to be in parts of Counties Down and Dublin, especial fly in the northern half of the latter. The most. marked loss in Scotland
 seems to be about St. Andrews and the only gain is near Burntisland,. owing to the accumulation of sand banks on the
 foreshore. In Wales the land loses at
 eight out of twenty-four places observ-
 ed. The loss, however, is not generally heavy, the most serious being between
 Llanelly and the Kidwelly river. Eng
 land suffers most, for gains are rare and local, while losses are frequent and often extensive. The parts most affect ed are along the eastern coast from the
 northern part of Yorkshire down to the
 Straits of Dover, and along most of the
 south coast to Devon. From Filey Brig

PLEASANT ANp USEFUL.

Everybody Knows that the peanut is good to eat and good for the eater, but it is well enough to have everybody s knowledge scientifically justified. Pro- lessor Ioffa. of the University of Cali fornia, has been looking into the peanut, and he finds that it is a good and cheap source of energy. The price, .S.6 cents for 1000 calories of energy, recorded for the peanut, is considerably less than the corresponding cost noted for any of the animal foods, and is below that for po- tatoes at 20 cents per bushel Wheat flour supplies energy more cheaply than peanuts, but the cost of 1000 calories, when supplied by sugar at 6 cents and by dried beans at cents per pound approaches very closely to the cost when furnished by peanuts. The pea nut deserves special mention because it is the cheapest Of the domestic nuts. containing the highest percentage of protein. with maximum fuel value and minimum refuse.
 We do not suppose that the peanuts examined by Professor Joffa were cir GUS peanuts, but even they furnish en- ergy >and fun. And as for good pea nuts. Professor Ioffa's tribute to them is feeble, though we'll enough as far as it goes. r. =,

nHANRkD HtS MIND.

The news comes from Washington that the special counsel for the govern ment in the prosecution of the postal frauds, Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad, have found that the famous Tulloch charges are sustained in the main by the official records. It is also learned that the federal grand jury of the Dis trict of Columbia may be called upon to indict former official of the Post office department far more prominent than any one who has yet become in- voIved in the meshes of the postal scam dals. And 1t is "authoritatively stated" that Postmaster-General Payne has changed his mind" about the Tulloch charges. The Postmaster General him. self called for statement from MT. Seymour A. Tulloch, the former cashier of the Washington city postofice. in re- gard to certain irregularities which ex- isted, to Mir, Tulloch's personal knowl- edge, in that office. When he received the charges MT. Payne declared that they were "hot air. and "airing MT. Tulloch's own grievances" and consist ed largely of ''glittering generalities."
 Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the whole business is that the Postmaster-General has changed his mind" His performances have indi- cated that he didn't intend to do that if he could help it.

EDISON HEADED WRONG,

Thomas A. Edison was good enough a day or two ago to tell reporter of the Times the story of a new internal ma chine which he is excogitating! The contrivance consists of a motor and bat tery of such design as to be readily ap- piled to a four-wheeled vehicle with a view to propelling the same at high and murderous veiocities. MT. Edison offers to wager that next year he can take a car of his design, fitted with his motor and battery, and go, to Chicago and back in less time than with any other machine in existence "The trip will be made at an even twenty-five miles an hour .s ..t. %ss,t. Very good. If Mir. Edison attempts tc go to Chicago and back at the rate oi twenty-fiv miles an hour, we hope, he will be arrested at every town through which he passes and detained so long that his trip to Chicago will consume about four years of solar time.

BTG WATER POWER.

If the Victoria falls of the Zarnbesi river in South Africa can be made to work as engineers now think they can they, will be very useful They are 'over four hundred feet high, and pro- duce in the wet season energy esti- mated at 35,0O0,0oO horsepower as against 100000 produced by Niagara. A railroad, now under construction, will reach the falls by March next, after which date bridge over the river and an electric plant comparable with that at Niagara falls will be constructed. It is believed that it will be practicable to carry the electric energy generated at the falls even as far as the Rand and it is hoped to work by means of it a large proportion of the South African railroad mileage, as well as to supply the power needed to the gold mines American, estimates are that, with con- ditions similar to those in Rhodesia, it will be possible to convey the current S30 miles and deliver it at cost of $22 8 kilowatt a year, the load being on for the whole twenty-four hours of the day Within a radius of three hundred miles of the falls are included the Wankie coal fields, Bulawayo, the Gwelo, &c., bakwe, Selukwe, Lomagunda and Hart ley gold fields, the Northern copper fields and about nine hundred miles of railroad line; while transmission oi six hundred miles would take in the whole Of the South African gold fields

The administrator of the government of British New Guinea reports the dis covery of an extraordinary tribe of nlarshland dwellers in that island. The land is too swampy to be walked upon, and the tangled tropical undergrowth In the wide stretches of shallow water renders canoeing almost impossible. The native dwellings are built in the trees above the water level As the result of these conditions the natives are gradually losing the use of their lower limbs. They are unable to walk on hard ground without suffering from bleeding feet. Their bodies have devel- oped enormously in the trunk, but the thighs, legs and feet are diminutive. In figure and carriage they are apelike.
 Unofficial estimates put the annual cut of lumber and shingles of the three Pacific States at 4,soO,OOO.GOO feet. of which California supplies s6O, 1000, 900 feet, Oregon 74O,oo0,oOO feet and Wash ington 230o, ,O0o, ,OOO feet. At this rate it is calculated that the forests Of the Pacific Coast will be exhausted in forty years. Shipments by water alone at Seattle were 564,472,sO1 feet of. lumber in 1902, and 506, ,ss4,749 feet in 1901. In 1902 rail shipments to the interior amounted to 5s2,175,OoO feet, and in 1901

The sea serpent hasn't been very con- spicuous this year. but a sea-serpent story coming from England tells how q marine monster apparently tried to swallow the good ship Glengrant of Fraserburgh. At the first onslaught it z lifted the vessel 'sat least six feet" as 1t dived underneath her but fortunately when it came on again the only sailor man who keot his head dashed below and got a gun. It is not known whether he hit. it; at any rate, the monster had had enough and cleared off. The sailors say this serpent was nearly two hun dred feet in length, with head like a seahorse. a long mane, great green, gIistening eyes and an enormous mouth and teeth.
