H tin, shows that the national debts Of the world now aggregate $3l,S0Mn£ 000, or ten timet the sum owed by the nations a oentury ago. The -major part of this startling increase has been incurred in the last half century. Waft and the maintenance of great armlea and navies have been chiefly responsi­ ble for this increase, but in some cases the debts represent investments in railways and other public utilities. Germany owns most of its railways. Two-thirds of the railways of Russia are owned by the government. The debt of Australia represents only pub­ lic utilities. Great Britain's debts which is |5.06 per capita represents war and speculations in other coun­ tries. Our debt represents war alone. Prance has the greatest national debt In the world, amounting to more than $5,800,000,000. Every man, wom­ an, and child in France pays $6.28 every year for interest on this debt. Australasia, with its annual per capita interest payment of $10.14, is the only country that surpasses France on this score. In the United States the per capita cost of the national debt Is only 44 cents annually. We could purchase all the railroads in the country and run them through the national government and still have less per capita debt than France or Great Britain. Though the debts of the nations are II - O. P. AUSTIN. ten tim.es as great as they were a cen­ tury ago, t$« increase rests on a fairly solid basis. The century has expanded the wealth of the nations fully tenfold, wjhile the great increase in instru­ ments of exchange probably Las pro­ duced a corresponding expansion in the circulating medium. The lower in­ terest rates, of today also are an im­ portant dement. Most of the national debts now draw only from 2 to 3% per cent, while a hundred years ago the rates were double those figures. In 1865 the United States was paying 7.3 per cent, where it now pays 2 per cent, the lowest rate on any national dent in the world. If all the nations showed as strong a determination to pay their obligations as does the United States there would be no need of the world's national indebtedness. Mm. Muffin %/ncertarn.

She was the first vessel to be fitted with the famous steam turbine engines invented by C. A. Parsons, younger brother of the Earl of Rose and fellow of the Royal Society. She was also the fastest ship in the wotld. On her trial trip about one year ago she steamed at the rate of 43 miles an hour. Those who saw the trial said thatjthe ship passed them with a roar indescribable, and a display of power grand tb behold. The Viper was built lor the British government She was fitted with engines especially designed for speed by Mr. Parsons. Her length was 210 feet, her beam 21 feet and her displacement 350 tons. Her horse-, power was 11,000. The hulk was driven through the water at express- train speed by four screw shafts en­ tirely independent of one another. Two shafts on one side were driven by one high and one low pressure turbine res­ pectively. He# great speed and 'her compound engines jnade the Viper in­ teresting as a suggestion of the possi­ ble ocean passenger ship of the future. In 1884 Mr. Parsons constructed the flrst compound steam turbine directly coupled to a dynamo. It ran at 18,000 revolutions. per minute and Its Sink y , plicity, speed of revolution and perfect" steadiness made a great impression on the engineering world. The discussion which followed brought out the pre­ diction that the time would soon oome Vhen ocean ships of the first class would travel at the rate of 50 to 60 miles an hour. The only drawback to the use of these peculiar engines is the difficulty of reversing their action. Since going into commission the Viper had been the object of great curiosity among naval architects generally. As a torpedo boat destroyer she was of course considered the most efficient vessel of that kind in the world. Cold Accumulation. . At the end of July the amount of gold in the treasury approximated $504,400,000.

M ^ fMRscvts % vi>w • A Wife's frixfiitge. In New York city recently a hus­ band had his wife arrested on the charge of going through his pockets while he slept and taking from them $67 and a lot of valuable papers. The magistrate before whom the case was tried held that the 'wife was guilty of theft, and, although he dealt leniently with her, he permitted it to be under­ stood that she could have been indict­ ed, tried, and found guilty of larceny. For the defense, as was quite natural, It was held that a wife could not pos­ sibly pick her husband's pockets, be­ cause, man and wife being one, his pockets were to all Intents and pur­ poses her pockets, and their contents to all intents and purposes were as much her property as his. One can­ not rob one's self, and how, therefore, oould this woman be found guilty of theft for taking what belonged to her husband--that is to say, what belonged to herself? For the prosecution it was held that the husband and wife are one in theory only, not in fact The law recognizes this, it was contended, when it deals with husbands and wives as individuals. The law treats the wife as a separate person, it was held, when It grants her certain distinctive rights and protects her in the enjoy­ ment of them, when she is permitted to hold property in her own name, and when she is privileged to do many things which her husband cannot le­ gally prevent her from doing. The magistrate was influenced by the argu­ ments for the prosecution to hold that, whatever a wife's privileges may be, she has no business to ransack her husband's pockets or to take anything from them without his consent. There is little danger that the New York case will establish a precedent, or that husbands in general will have their wives arrested for going through their pockets. When the average man ol good sgnse, good behavior, and small means considers how often and how painfully his wife is disappointed as she goes through his pockets he will not think of depriving her of the priv­ ilege. Last year the markets of New York paid as revenue into the city treasury $258,000 from rents, exclusive of $48,- 000 collected from a talis and privi­ leges in Wallabout market, Brooklyn, and $3,000 from market cellar rents, a total of more than $300,000. in Bi ence acco; visitors in tels at ra to two one H*Um Imw - m N.

The Exposition has had in operation for some time a tree bureau of information for the conve­ nience of intending visitors.

Thou­ sands of people annually go up Into the Muskoka Lakes District, and no one is ever disappointed at the beau­ ties that are there and the healthgiv- ing propensities of the pure air. The altitude of Muskoka--1,000 feet above sea level--endows it with all the Ad­ vantages obtainable among the moun­ tains, while as a matter of course it lacks nothing in so far as lakes and Islands are concerned. In fact it pos­ sesses a variety of attractions, any one of which would be more than sufllcient to make it dear to the hearts of its summer habitues. Standing high above the plane of humidity, the immense expanse of country is favored by cooling breezes from the broad bosom of the Georgian Bay, whose waters wash its western limits.
