Local Prohibition in Canada.

FROM the Toronto SloPe
1t is quite natural that those who re-
gard the three-f1fths majority require
ment in the adoption of local prohibition
bylaws as Objectionable should want to
fasten on their political opponents re-
sponsibility for it's enactment. Our at
tentiop has been called to the case of a
faithful tory who argues strongly that
the liberals introduced the three-fifths
provision into the license law before the
conservatives came into ONCE nine years
ago His contention is. of course. utter
ly absurd but as there may be others
similarly benighted it is worth while to
state the facts.
In 1890. under the Mowat administra-
ton. the local option clauses were en-
acted and embodied in the liquor license
act. They authorized the council OF every
township city. town and Incorporated
village to pass bylaws for prohibiting
the sale by retail of spirituous, ferment-
ed or other manufactured liquors in tav-
erns or shops. provided that the bylaw
before the final passing thereof has been
duly approved of by the electors OF the
municipality in the manner provided by
the municipal act. Under these clauses
only a bare majority of the popular vote
was necessary. and this remained SO till
1876, when the three-tifths majority re-
aurement was imposed by statute
passed in the Whitney governments sec
ond session, undoubtedly at the instance
of the liquor interest. which has domi-
mated that governments course on liquor
legislation ever since. The desire to hold
liberals responsible for the three-f1fths
majority requirement is proof that it has
become unpopular. and there Is abun-
dance of, other evidence to strengthen
this opinion.

The Pressure of Light.
From the Boston transcript.

T rom the Boston transcript.
Both by theory and from experiment
We are satisfied that light exerts pres
sure. and this pressure when eXerted on
the earth by the sun was calculated by
the late Prof. Poynting as amounting 10
10000 tons. This property of radiation
has lately been used by Prof. Langevin
in illustration of one of the flaws which
are perceptibe in Newtonian mechanics
For example. according to Newton's third
law of motion. action and reaction are
equal and opposite: to every action there
is an equal and oppositely directed re-
action. But the forces created by an
electrified body do not conform to tais
law. This is especially evident when
radiation also occurs. Suppose that an
incandescent body is giving of light.
that is to say. electromagnetic radia-
tion. uniformly in all directions BY
reason of the symmetry of arrangement
of these departing forces they exert no
resultant force on the source from which
they set out. But If the perturbations.
in the form of light wave. encounter
an obstacle at distance. then the OBJ
stacle will be subjected to force due TO
its absorption of some part OF this
radiant energy. This pressure Of light
pushes the obstacle away in the direction
in which the light is being propagated.
and the action thus exerted on the dis
tant body is not compensated by a re-
action appearing at the source or on any
other portion of matter. We have thus
cases of actions without reactions. II
matter alone is considered. 1t remains
to be pointed out that in general way
the assumption which arises out of the
new mechanics. that the mass of body
varies when it gives out heat or light.
does not lend itself to measurement. For
example. if known masses of hydrogen
and oxygen are exploded in closed
vessel to form water. then. since an inn
mense amount of energy. is radiated
away. the mass of the water must be
less than the combined masses of the
two gases. But the calculated decrease

precautions to be taken at the terminal
station and along the lines in anticipat ton
of the possible arrival of the family OF
Gen. Huerta He has assigned several Of
ficers and the necessary men of the 2Sth
Infantry as a special guard.
Some passengers who reached here to-
day said the capital was full of rumors
about Gen. Huerta's resignation, but no
official announcement had been made up
to the time they left although the prob
ability of the provisional presidents res
ignation was generally admitted and dis

Berlin a Seaport.

empire with the greatest Prussian port;
it binds Berlin and Stettin. Berlin and
the Oder have. of course, been united for
some considerable time by the Finow
canal, but that waterway. with its score
of old-fashioned locks and the fault of
narrowness. has long been out of date.
The new canal will carry cargo vessels
of GOO tons. and that vessels of such size
will now go direct from Stettin to Berlin
