Tho hgures for March reached the great
sum Of sl26.90t,524. not including re-
exports Of foreign goods amounting to
s@,9iI,2la This represents an advance
of s17.il1.037. The steady and enor-

One OF the surprises of the statement

Mr.. Amstcr's ability 20 raise the
$4,000. 900 Is doubted by interests con-
uected with the road. They state that
The property Is bankrupt and that they
were unsuccessful in their efforts to get
oven the Central Trust Company loan
OF s2.5O0,000 taken up. For some time
tho property has been putting up SO of
collateral for every 81 OF money fur
nshed by the bankers. When the loan
of 81 500 900 WAS made recently by the
Bankers Trust Company Il was secured
by s3,6iU,o00 bonds. but the bankers
70 fused 10 furnish the funds on that Sc
curty until five OF the directors gave
their personal notes for s35o,ooo each as
additional security.
The charge made on Tuesday by Mr..
Amster that the directors were not con-
suited as TO the receivership was de-
MED. A director OF the company said
that he was consulted regarding the
proceedings. Another said that the d.
rcctors were canvassed for their consent
II was stated that when Mr.. Amster was
in New York last week he was told of the
condition of the property and that he
would have to raise his S6,000,000 at
once IL the property were to be saved

Salt Water Cataracts.

There are a good many salt water
cataractS in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms of the sea, are INSTRUCTED by
barriers Of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction in
an irresistible torrent Most curious
Of all is the waterfall at Canoe las
sage, where the island of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the flood tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southwark is
held back at a narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume of the
Rhine. At the turn Of the tide. how
ever, the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf, producing cascade
of equal height and volume. The wa
terfall actually flows both ways.
