CANADIAN CASTLES.
The Most Interesting Is Chateau de
Ramezay at Montreal.


Ramezay at Montreal.
To Americans castles are associated
with the storied Rhine, picturesque
England or France and Spain, but 1t is
interesting to be reminded by the st.
John P. E. u News that there are a
number of ancient Canadian castles
still existing, the chief ones being st.
Ours, Rimouski, st. Eustache, Lotbini-
ere, Monticello, Ste. Marie de la Be
ance, Vaudreil, Rouville and, most in
teresting of all, the Chateau de Rame-
zay at Montreal. The latter was built
in 1765 by Gertrude de Ramezay, at
that time governor of the district of
Montreal and knight of the Royal and
Military Order of st. Louis. From him
was descended the last French govern
or of Quebec at the time of the capitu-
lation in 1853. From that time to 1910
the castle remained in the possession
Of the government and was the resi-
dence of the French and English gov
ernOrs until the capital was trans
ferred from Montreal to Quebec. 1t Is
now owned by the Antiquarian socie-
ty, which has made of it museum
for historical relics of the old regime,
and as such 1t possesses much interest
for visitors to the one time capital of
New France.

DEAD ONES.

\ town that never does anything in
public way is on its way to the
cemetery. Any citizen who will do
nothing tor his town is helping dig
the grave. man that will curse his
own town is furnishing the coffin.
The man who is so selfish as To have
no time from his business to give to
city affairs is making the shroud.
The merchant who will not advertise
is driving the hearse. The man who
is always pulling back from public
enterprise throws bouquets on the
grave. The man who is so stingy as
to be always bowling hard times
breaches the funeral sermon and sings
the doxology, and thus the town lies
buried free from all sorrow and care

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A giant leatherback turtle weigh.
ing 716 pounds, was sent to the Amerl-
can museum of natural history, New
York, the other day. 1t was caught
off Block island and is said to have
been the first taken along the Atlantic
coast in fifteen years.
While small engine weighing fif-
teen tons, used by the railway con
tractors, was crossing the Victoria
falls bridge just after nightfall it ran
over something on the line, says
South Africa. The driver pulled up
to ascertain the nature OF the obstacle.
and was considerably surprised to find
an enormous leopard lying terribly
Injured between the rails. The brute
expired in few moments. 1t meas
nred eight feet in length, and mar
velous feature of the incident is that
the engine was not derailed: The
leopard it is assumed, wandered to
the bridge and sprang at the engine
as it approached.
The prince of Monaco, devotee of
deep-sea curiosities, has found lumin-
Gus sh1imps living at great depth
where all is dark. When put in an
aquarium they lose their light-giving
properties, 1t is said that probably
most, if not all, deep-sea creatures
are luminiferous or phosphorescent,
some of them diffusing light from the
general surface of the body and
others from special organs.
The first patent for a sewing
machine was issued in England in
1870. This early invention was not
successful, and other patents were
issued III 1904, 1918 and SCORES of
times since.
The inverted glass bells which
are hung over lamps to catch the
smoke are said to have brought their
inventor the largest sum ever obtain
ed from a small invention.
In new registering rain gauge, of
German invention, the drops fall on
a balance arm, which, by breaking an
electric circuit as it dips, registers
the fall. The number of drops in a
half minute is taken to calculate the
intensity of the shower.
A new Scottish work attempts to
prove from geological ophenomena
that gravitation is electrical, and that
it is Identical with terrestrial and
solar magnetism.
The self examining of the eye may
be accomplished by a new form of
opthalmascope invented by an Eng
lishman and known as the entopto-
scope and which utillzes pin-hole Wis
ion. The pin-hole is made in sheet
of metal. When it is illuminated,
sharp shadows of any Opaque or semi
Opaque object in the path of the rays
within the eye ball are thrown on
the retina, and the growth OF cata-
ract can thus be traced. By arrang
ing two pin-holes close to one
ohObhCl3 LII O1dphl
the magnitude and distance of the
object from the retina can be estimat-
ed.
In the copper mines of Atacama,
Chill, says the engineering and Min
ing journal, the body of an Indian
miner was found short time ago who
had been killed by fall of the roof
while collecting the mineral ataca-
mite in small basket which was
still in his hand with his stone imple-
ments alongside. The body was IN
perfect state of preservation, due to
impregnation of the tissues by copper
salts, as we'll as to the antiseptic
action of the dry climate. The body
was probably 800 years old.

This did not end the controversy,
for as the lawyers entered the ante
