There Are Only Six sidered. Ottawa, Feb, 13.--A false impres sion has been created as to the num- her of divoree which will dealt with at the present session of the Canadian senate. While it is true that during the past six months no- tico of an unusual number of cases has been given in the Canada Gazette, there is no guarantee that they will all be proceeded with. It frequently happens that after notice is given, no thing further is done. Up te the present time only six petitions for divorce have been receiv od hy the senate divorce committee.

While this i= not the only buffalo left, it is the last of the ami mals that lived on the prairie in a wild state. It was captured thirty- seven years agb as a calf, with a num- ber of other buffalo, for a private col- lection, and later passed into the hands of Sir Donald Smith, now Lord Strathcona, who presented it, with a dozen others, to the dominion govern- ment. The herd was placed in the Na- tional Park at Banfi, Alta., where all the rest have long since died. The sole original surviver, Sir Donald, has long since passed his day, and been driven away from the herd by the vounger bulls, and Commissioner Douglas stated that on his return this sone survivor of the wild herds would be shot, and his enrease mount. ed for exhibition purposes. n g | ; s JUMBLE OF FALSEHOODS = The Montreal Star gives a story of Kingston elections, a literal rigmarole.

Members of the New York Yhcht Club and other vessel-owners have been rgeeiving plans deseribing the application of the gyroscope to all classes of vessels to prevent them from rolling and keep them steady in the stormiest sea. The cost of the apparatus, it is stated, represents only one or two per cent. of the value of the steamer or vacht to which it may be fitted. The device is based on the principle of the gyroscope. It nullifies the sidewise roll of the steamer in the hold in which it is riveted and through the action of the physical law on which the principle of the gyroscope rests A gyroscope is a heavy circular disk, which revolves at a high rate of speed, and which has both ends of its axis supported, and its tendency is to resist all 'attempts to make it tilt out of the plane. According to the theory of thé inventor of the present device, a sufficiently heavy and swift- ly revolving gyroscope would, if placed in the hold of a vessel, resist the ves sel's tendency to roll, and keep it up- right or . nearly so. The present de vice is very simple, consisting merely of a heavy circular iron casting, with its. supports and an electric motor to If you want to have a laugh. come to the clesing * excreises of "Uncle Jonn Hopléns' Singing School,' Queen street: Methodist Sunday school room, Tuesday evening: Admission.
