liam Mackenzie, the president of thu Canadian Northern railway.
 The history of the development O electricity by water-power on tn, Canadian side of the falls is closet, connected with the founding of tn, Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park. The credit of suggesting system o national parks for both sides of thu Falls belongs to the late Lord Duff ferin, who, when governor general ol Canada, advocated the scheme whicf has since been carried out. In ths case of the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park" the government of On tario provided that the cost of tn, lands to be acquired therefor, as well as the improvement and maintenance |. of the same, should be provided by tht park commissioners from the revenues of the undertakings to be created and developed within the park limits. Thi: imposed upon the commissioners the policy of granting certain franchises in order to procure the necessary in come, the most important of which were granted to certain power com panies to take water from the Niagara river above the falls, for the purpose of generating electricity for transmits sion beyond the park. These con. sessions have given rise to some criti cism, on the ground that the natura beauty of the neighborhood has beer affected thereby; but the course adopt ed seems, under all circumstances, tc have been difficult to avoid.
 It Is the intention of the Canadian authorities that everything possible shall be done, not only to retain the natural beauties surrounding Niagara but also to add to :hem. With thii end in view. many improvements ars in contemplation which would not bs possible were it not for the revenue derivable from the franchises" Fol instance, the bank of the river is te be protected from erosion, there is ts } be a beautiful boulevard, ornamentet i, with shady trees. and generally tho grounds of the park are to be brought up to a standard that shall not of 1. fend aesthetic taste" But whil, this is the case, there appears 10 b, some doubt whether the development work authorized by the franchises given by the Ontario government vii not affect the splendor of the scenery Earl Grey. governor general of Can. ada. recently said: Canada has nc desire to issue franchises which may be a detriment to the splendor ana grandeur of the cataract.

 in his pedantic tones, lis a full realization of danger, and yet a willing ness to face the difficulty or the death that providence has seen fit to place in the road"
 The soldier laughed out of his cyni- cism, and, turning to the third travel ing companion, he asked pointedly: 'Is that your definition of heroism?'
 The man who had not spoken or taken any part in the conversation looked up with quick, sidelong glance that had something of the hunted ex- pression that one sees in the creature wounded to the death, in the eyes of the criminal before the trap is sprung or the enemy at bay.
 "No," he said, slowly; bravery is do- ing something for somebody else with out thinking of yourself Providence, to my way of thinking, doesn't take a hand in the game Now, suppose"-he shifted in his seat and his regard was speculative and keen-"what would you do if Jim Ruggles were to come right into this car and hold the gun to your head-would you"-he turned to the man of cloth with contemptuous scrutiny-''would you preach a little sermon, parson, or dig up your loose coin?"
 The exponent of holy writ flushed an indignant scarlet, and, ignoring the questioner, addressed the soldier of the jovial, bland countenance.
 Have you ever experienced fear been conscious of the terror of unseen things, by the laity called unexplained phenomena, by the children of faith the manifestation of spiritual power?"
 The scar on the old soldiers cheek gathered up into the wrinkles of his smile, and with wink out of the corner of his fearless eye, he replied soberly:
 Well, to shame his majesty the devil by 8 truthful statement, must con- fess that I have. I'm an old fighting man; I've seen the blood and battle of the civil war and the sham blood-let- ting of modern conquests, and no mat ter where I've been, whether in the thick of the real thing or when play ing at arms down with the Cuban nig- ger, there it has always been-the sick ness at the pit of the stomach, the grip of the heart and the rise of goose flesh all over the body. If that's being coward-then I'm one"
 And you experienced that at the approach of mere physical danger!"
 There was covert sheer in the unctuous inquiry, and the divine turned his glance upon the veteran full of a lofty pity for such human frailty.
 But you never baked or turned heel. did you?"
 The soldier smiled into the grinning face opposite. No" he answered. T always went right on into the very thickest of it.
 That's what I call bravery. The mealy beggar without imagination never realizes what's coming and sticks by the post, and if he gets killed every one calls him the hero. Now the man who can keep from running when he has the feeling of the ball stinging

HE KAISER'S MODES.
TRAINING OF THE GERMAN
 NAVAL CADETS.
Future Commanders of Battleships Receive Thorough Course of In- struction at Marine Acad-
 emy at Kiel.

The fact that the German empire to- day ranks as one of the leading naval powers is due in a large measure to the rigid and thorough training which her young naval officers receive. The navy is one of the particular hobbies of the emperor, and he takes great in terst in the cadets and all that per tains to their training. The naval academy at Kiel compares most favor ably with that at Annapolis or that of any other country, and when the young officers complete their course at the school they are well versed in the art of sea warfare.
 The German cadet commences his professional training at a slightly earlier age than do our cadets at An napolis. The candidates for admission must not be more than IT years of age and possess certificates of qualified. tion for the upper classes of royal high school, or pass an examination in equivalent subjects The examination takes place once a year. during Au- gust and September He must under go a medical examination to prove his general health. and particularly that his eyesight and hearing are good.
 The professional training of the would-be officers begins environed by the sights and sounds of the great arsenal of their navy: for the marine academy and the naval college are in the same building at Kiel. and under the same roof the older officers are undergoing their preparation for spe- ciaIizing in gunnery. navigation. etc. At the college the cadets undergo a ten months course before they are sent to sea. and in addition to the professional stan there is a naval staff of not less than four Iieutenants. while the president Is also an officer of senior rank. Among the subjects which are taught in addition to navigation, sea- manship and gunnery are shipbuild- ing. mechanical engineering. tactics and strategy. and the English and French languages. Of course. all the usual reereatiOns are provided. includ- ing gymnastics and fencing.
 Tn the next stage the cadets are sent afioat in the training squadron. for which purpose there are several yes sels in commission. and the cruises are generally confined to home waters dur ing the summer ard warmer climes in the winter. The presence of the ships of the German training squadron in British ports is frequent. but the Mediterranean and the West Indies are also visited in turn During this sea life. while they are still carrying on their studies. the cadets are also be- ing taught sesmanship and navigation fn a practical manner. while opportuni ties are also afforded them for putting into pracfirr the fo-eszn lsneuszzs they have been taught Al. varying periods test-examinstions are held. and ca the return of the cruisers to Ger. many. provided they sstisfy the cram.
