Isolation of Kishmir Is Ended by » Kingston Engineer. The far-famed Vale of Kashmir, in touch with the outer *atld by eat of the longest aerial ca eway in the world ~~ 75" miles across the Himala- yas, constructed by Lieut.-Col. A. J. de Lotbiniere, a Canadian military engineer, formerly of Kingston, an son of the late Sir Henry Joly d Lotbiniere. Engineers have Jong tried to solve the problem of {ransportation across this mountain barrier. It is erossed at present by a road 200 miles long, a wonderful iece of engineering, completed in 1 i ty-feur men wergkilled by falliffg boulders during its nstruic- tion, and owing to the Presence of these huge loose rocks in the soft soil, the building of a railroad--even a light eleetr road---has been pro- nounced impracticable. There is nothing for it but to swing a cable high in air over the treacherous mountain-chain. At the suggestion of Lt.-Col. de Lotbiniere, whose services had been lent to the Kashmir Government as State Engineer, it was deci ed to cause investigation of the feasibility of an serial cableway, and, if pos- sible to enter on this projecY. This survey has been completed and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the firm and of the Kakhmir Govern- ment that the s~heme fs practicable and will not be unduly expensive. It is anticipated that the cost will amount te about -$1,5600,000. ° The cable way will be constructed in big spans of about 800 yards each, with fixed cables upheld by iron pil- lars or towers of latticework, some' of which will have to be 100 feet high. There will be separate sections every. five miles and separate cables, of course, for outgoing and incoming freight, which will be about nine feet apart and with a diameter of 11-2 fuches each. From these cables steel cars will be suspended and conveyed, about 30 to every mile, snd holding 335 to 450 pounds each of freight. These cars will be carried over £ gorges and precipitous hills d' in some instances there will be a sheer drop underneath them of 1,200 feet. Thie transfer of cars from section to section will be automatics ly ac complished by revolving "which will effect release of the cars and their renewed gripping to the haul ing ropes of the next rection. On ac- count of the difficulty of expansion and contraction from heat and cold, the cables will be equipped with a complicated system of springs anchor ed with tremendous weights to make them of the sgme length all the year round. The cableway will follow th gorge of the Jhelum river most of the way, which it will frequentl: Cross and'recross, accordingly as the Spans can be most cenveniently con structed, and the towers be locatec where there. can be safety agains slipping and dangeis from falling boulders. The great advantage of the aerial cableway will be.that all dan gerous parts of the road can be dodg ed and the cars moved from hill ic hill dnd over gorges instead of at th side of them, the towers being base at places where there ean be no dan ger of slips. "It will not be the intention at firs to use the aerial calbleway for trans port of passengers, but only foi «Goode received a v | companian in arms, | confirming the leea freight. However, if the cableway is found to work with perfect safety and no accidents occur, it is likely that within a year or two it will be equip ped with cars suitable for passen- gers." ------------ Kindness Nets Him $38,000. An aet of kindness, performed sa year age, has brought a handsome reward to Edward Goode, a chauf- feur, living at 90 St. Catharine street, Montreal, in the shape of a legacy of $38,000. . A year ago, Goode was in the U. 8. army, at Douglas, Arizona. Rynning from a sham fight in the course of which he had become separated from his companio: Goode éncountered an elderly man®who was lying at the side of the road, bleeding profusely from a cut in the head and injuries to his legs, received when thrown off & runaway horse. , The soldier, after staunching the-bleeding, carried him on his back to the nearest house, a distance of three miles. The old man was A. Jameson, a wealthy rancher. Shortly afterwards Goode left the army and came to Can- ada, after paying = farewell visit to Jameson, who was still in the hospital with his injuries. Some time ago isit from an old George Marceau, him a clipping nservey, contain- e death of Jame- who brought with from the Douglas Co: ing an account of th son and telling of the disposition of his property. A few days later Goode recelved a letter from an attorney ey. Water Will Cover Village. The little village of Saint Charles, Que., on the Saguenay river, is isappear. if Col. B. A.

In Great Britain and also in Ger- many nicknames for the respective monarchs are popular, and almost every member of the royal families as well as prominent men generally aye them, is Majesty King George V. is frequently referred to as "'Doddie" fo Scotland, where "Dod" is the ver- nacular for "George," though his iubjects south of the Tweed préfer he plain "George." The late King Edward was often alled "Edrex." a nickname very ob- viously derived frem the royal signa- ure, "Edward Rex." Before his wesumption of the Crown he was 'amiliarly known as "Bertie," and wy the other members of the royal amily as "The Guv'nor." Many of tis humble subjects were wont to re- er to him as "Teddy," especially in 'ond and favorable cemmeniit. It would be impossible to give all the nicknames bestowed on that 10st active and interfering monarch, bh: Emperor of Germany, inasmuch '8 the cartoonists give him a néw one every day or so. - "Frederick he Greatest," "Ajax." "Gondola Willie," and '"The Captain" are prob- \bly the most used. It is interesting from the psychological point of view hat in each instance the intent is 'arcasm pure and simple. "Punch" is responsible for "The Captain," it having printed the famous cartoon which represented the Kaiser as the captain of a ship watching the pilot, Bismarck, going down the gangway ter his dismissal. That the Emperor of All the Rus- sias Is beloved of many of his sub' 'eels, despite popular ideas as to the contrary, is easily proved by the familiar designation of which has elung to him since his boyhood. "The Father," as the late King of Denmark was usually term- | od, as well as the "Fathér Francis" by which the Emperor of Austria is known, are evidence of the depth of affection: and reverence shown to each by their subjects. But thy late King Ldbpold of Bel- giulh had) to-content himself with the very unflattering title of "The King with a Nose." "The Little Signor," as the King of Italy is called by his people, brings te recollection the endearing term of the war battered French for their "Little Corporal." While "The Friend" or "The Heart," as a popu- lar designation of the King of Spain by many of his subjects shows clear- ly how they look upon him. "Her Royal Shyness" is the nick- name given by the Quéen of Norway to her sister, the Duchess of Fife. The Queen Dowager has always been known to her relatives and most in- timate friends as "Harry." Many distinguished men bear queer nicknames, but' among the most unaccountable is "Blue Mon- key," applied to the Marquis de Soveral, so many years {he ambassa- dor of Portugal to Great Britain. King Edward himself applied this very appropriate name of "The Aun- cestor" to Lord Ribblesdale because of the latter's odd way of dressing. And is not the head of the British Peerage-known as "The Dumpling" among the young scions of his line? Mayor Graham was re-elected in London, Ont, "Nicky," Old World Canals, fer of canal making, and to this day stands first among the nations for the skillful utilization of her inland wat- erways. One great cdnal maintains communication between Peking and Canton, a distance of 1,200 miles, and the total extent of the canals of China is over 5,000 miles. Russia owns the longest canal in the world, extending from St. Petersburg to the Chinese frontier, a distance of 4,472 miles, and also the second longest, covering 1,434 miles, between Astra- khan and St. Petersburg. As regards numbers of separate canals, Holland claims precedence, but her total mile- age of inland waterways is only 930 miles, The Fez In the Orient. The fez or tarbush is limited by no considerations of nationality or faith. It is the almost universal head cover- fog of the eastern and southern lands of the Mediterranean and has been widely distribuated in the still' active diffusion of Mohammedanism. This type of felt hat withopt brim is of the utmost antiquity *and seems to have undergone no save the tassel [rom the early monu- mental record of the Euphrates val- ley.

Some Meteors. ! One of the earliest known meteors fell in 204 B. C. in Phrygia, where for a long time it was worshipped. It was carried to Rome and was suppos- ed to be a messenger from the gods. Livy describes a shower of meteoric stones. The people were greatly alarmed, and the senators were de- moralized and declared a nine days' festival to propitiate the gods. Thera is at Mecca a meteorite which fell in | 600 A, D. and 1s still worshipped by the faithfal, ------------ Where the Shoe Pincfies.
