Compressed Air Chimes.

The chimes of St. Patrick's Cathe-
dral, in Fifth avenue, in New York, are
rung by compressed air. Nineteen bells
are in the spire. The heaviest weighs
6,O00 pounds, the lightest 800 pounds.
The keyboard of the chimes is in the
sacristy. The operator presses a key
corresponding to a bell in the spire.
This establishes an electric connection,
which opens a valve in the steeple, con-
Quoting compressed air to piston with
a clapper that strikes the bell. Elec-
tricity is the trigger and compressed
air the motive power in playing the
chimes st, Patrick's was the first
church to adopt the new system.

The historic island of St Helena, Of
fers market for limited amount of
American goods. Consequent upon
the rise in price of -four in South
Australia (the source from which st.
Helena draws it breadstuff and grain
supplies,) resulting from severe
drought, considerable quantity Of
American flour is being imported by
steamers via England figuring under
the head of imports from the United
Kingdom; this also applies to kero-
sene, lumber, provisions, cattle feed,
etc, which have their origin in the
United States. There is certainly
an opening at st. Helena for at least
two trading schooners a year, with
assorted cargoes of American goods.
The alleged drawback is the absence
of return cargoes; yet many sailing
vessels go to South and West Africa,
and on discharge Of their cargoes pro-
ceed in ballast to the West Indies and
South American ports and pick up
-cargoes for Europe and the United
States.

Recently the Austro-Hungarian War
Dogs Club held its first show of dogs
for war and ambulance service. The
highest officers in the army witnessed
the performances of the dogs. Soldiers
had dispersed all over the field of ac-

hedges, among shrubs and bushes.
These were supposed to be the wound

either stayed with them and barked if
the trainers were near enough to hear
them, or ran for the trainer when the
distance was too long. Then they were
sent with messages contained in a
locket fastened to their collars. to
which they had to bring answers

Peasant Uprisinus Continue in tn

St. Petersburg, April THE re
ports of peasant uprisings in the Bal
tic provinces, especially in Lithuanit
and Courland, continue extremely dis
quieting. Although Cossack and In
fantry patrols are scattered through
the country the troops are unable t
stop the plundering of estates by the
larger peasant bands. AT Werra

boring land owners. Similar incident:
have occurred at other places. The
smaller bands drive off cattle, burr

produced by the depredations OF rov

Corrects Erroneous Impressions Con
cerning Panama Canal.
New York, April 7.-Chief Engineer
John F. Wallace of the Panama canal
commission has arrived from Colon.
Speaking of the difficulties of build.
ing the canal Mr.. Wallace said:
1t is surprising what wrong I'M
pressions prevail in this country about
the canal. The control of the Chagres
river, for instance, has been much
misunderstood. The cost of this work
will be only per cent OF the total
cost of building the canal. The diff.
ference in tide between the Pacific
and Caribbean can be controlled by
tide locks. although this is not neces-
sary with sea level canal. The tide
in the Pacific rises ten feet higher
and falls ten feet lower than it does
In the Caribbean. The canal, however,
will be forty-seven miles long and will
take up this difference.
I'VE do not place locks at Sandy
Hook to control the tide in the Hud-
son and that river is always naviga-
BILE. So will the canal be navigable
at all times
