In Present Struggle the First Hint of a Great Conflagration Stopped Everything -- In Former Crises Britain Has Trembled on Brink of War For Several Days With out Plunging In. It is a common saying that three removes are as bad as a fire, and in the same sense it might be said that three scares are as disastrous as one war. At its very beginning while yet only Austria and Servia were fight- ing, the effects of the present war were felt all over the world In rising of food and falling prices of 5, by reason of the panic-fear ln the breasis of statesmen, bankers, merchants, and the public at large that the clash would lead to the con- flagration of Europe. Thus a were scare may represent a loss to the community of scores of millions ster- ling in the course of a week! It was touch and go, as the say- ing is, when the Russian Baltic fleet fired upon the Grimsby trawlers on the Dogger Bank, during the progress of the Russo-Japanese war. The Russian Pacific fleet was bottled up in Port Arthur, with as much chance of getting out as a rat in a trap. It : was then decided to send the Baltic fleet all the way round to Vladivos- tock, 12,000 miles, to try to restore the balance, and this move «early brought the British fleet into action. It is generally supposed that the offi- cers of the Russian fleet, having heard rumors of the presence of Japanese torpedo-boats in western Waters, set about by some Jules Verne of the press, got a fit of nerves, and when they saw the twinkling lights of the far-spread Nerriog fleet, surrounding them in all directions, Jumped to the swift conclusion that, in Biblical language, the Philistines ,were upon them, and that they were all going to be torpedoed. So they began to blaze away; and when they had killed a few fishermen and sunk a smack or two, and thus beaten off the lurking foe, they sailed on. The next morning the London press came out with headlines a foot long, Such an outrage was abso- lutely unprecedented! Such a thing had never happened in the history of the world before. A fierce cry went up in this first heat of resentment that the Russian fleet should be de- stroyed, and Ministers had the ut- most difficulty in standing up against the popular clamor. But this scare was nothing to the ione over Major Marchand and Fa- | shoda. It arose in this wise. Since ' the Soudan had been abandoned by civilization until the time was ripe for reconquering it. These were days before the entente cordlale, and the soreness of France over our as- cendancy in Egypt was by no means abated. While Kitchener was pre- paring for the campaign which end- ed with the victory of Omdurman and eventually made the road to Khartoum as safe as Piccadifly, a gallant Frenchman, Major Marchand, continent to the Nile. They actually arrived at Fashoda, a place on the { river above Khartoum, and occupied | jit, a few days before Kitchener with [bis little army entered the capital } of the Soudan. Then the trouble started. The Brit- ish general sent a message to Mar- chand, who returned a sharp retort to the effect that he was there first, {and there he would remain. He ineant, of course, that the wnole Nile basin above Fashoda was by his cap- | ture of Fashoda delivered to France. ! Lord Salisbury, who was Premier then, acted 'with promptitude and de- cision, and demanded the immediate departure of Major Marchand, or "the gravest consequences' would follow. Kitchener and Marchand met on the steamship Dal in the Nile, and the Frenchman accepted the ultima- tum with a bad grace. Later revela- tions proved that the two countries were actually.on the brink of war. A certain telegram sent by one of +he crowned heads of Europe to the President of a South African state very nearly plunged this country into a war the end of which no man might know. On New Year's Eve, 1895, | Mr. Chamberlain unexpectedly left { Birmingham by the midnight mail | for London. His office had received a wire sayfag that Dr. Jameson had crossed the border of the Transvaal with a foreé of South African pelice, and was marching either upon Pre- toria or Johannesburg. Next day the flews was blazed abroad, and also that Mr. Chamberlain had wired in- structions that Jameson should be turned back, as he had started with- out any orders from headquarters. As a matter of fact, the raid had fiz- sled out at Krugersdorp, and the danger would have been over prob- ably had not the German Emperor thought fit to send President Kruger a telegram of congratulation. The raid and the Emperor's tele- gram together were probably the cause of the Boer War a year or two later. The Boers were led to sup- jpose that they would be backed up in their opposition to Britain by one or more European Powers, and that hope on their part and fear on. ours 'led, during the subsequent war, to frequent panics dnd scares. | There came news of Buller's fallure 1to cross the Tugela one morning, of i Ladysmith's sad plight the next, and jof Gatacre's defeat at Stormberg on 'still another. This was known as the "Black Week," and no Britisher who ! went through it will ever forget it. {The spirits of the British nation {went down to zero. | Electricity In Glass Works, Electric motors are used in modern lass factories where formerly the | work was nearly all done by hand.

Some idea of the enormous size of the mew Quebec Bridge---the strue- | ture that is to replace the half-built| bridge which collapsed suddenly in August, 1907--is afforded by figures and illustrations given in The Engin- eer, The substructure of this colos- sal work was completed last season, | and preparations are now being made | for the erection of the great super- structure which is advancing rapidly in' the works of the St. Bawrence Bridge Company at Montreaal. The company was formed, and the works established, for this ome purpose, Already some 8,000 or 9,000 tons of material have been sent out to the site. The proportions of the bridge as a whole, as well as a large number of the members, constitute a record in bridge construction of the kind. The bridge, which will carry railways and foot passengers, but no wheeled traf- fic, is 3,239 feet long between the! faces of the abutments, and has one 140 feet approach span at the south end and two spans aggregating 269 feet at the north end. The general form is two immense pairs of canti- levers, borne on two piers in the river, with a suspended span between them. It is as if two-thirds of the Forth Bridge were taken. The an- chor arms are 5156 feet long, the cantilever arms 580 feet long, and the suspended span 640 feet meas- ured from centre to centre of pins. The same measurements in the Forth Bridge are 689 feet 9 inches, 680 feet, and 360 feet. The bridge is 88 feet wide from centre to centre, and has a elear height above extreme high water of 160 feet--the same as the Forth Bridge. It differs from the famous Scotch bridge in that it is built up| of plates and bars, and not of tubes. Ths vertical post over the plers stands 310 feet high, as against 330 feet «of the Forrth. It is probably the largest single member of this type ever constructed. It is com=~ posed of four separate columns lat- ticed together, and weighs 1,600 tons, and its lower end rests en & huge steel shoe. The base of the shoe, built up of four steel castings, measures no less than 25 feet 4 inches by 20 feet 10 inches. There are two of these posts, and two shoes corresponding, on each pier. The shop at Montreal which was special- ly built for carrying out this work, is 660 feet long and 160 feet wide for the greater part of its length. Amongst the lifting appliances are two 27-ton traveling cranes. Holsteins In British Columbia. A new plan for the introduction of pure bred Holstein cattle will be tried out this fall in British Columbia. An auction of 40 Ontario bred heifers, together with 20 head of young stock consigned by J. M. Steves, of Lulu Island, will be held by the B. C. Hol- stein Breeders' Association at New Westminster. If this sale is success- ful, others will be held. Few female Holsteins, other than culls, can only be purchased in the coast province, and.the necessity for some action is considered urgent by the dairymen. The matter was taken up with the president and secretary of the Hol- stein Fresian Association of Canada, om their recent visit to the coast, and the officials promised to manage the Ontario end of the sale. Both men visited practically every Holstein breeder on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and were much impressed by the splendid, profitable herds. 'Conditions in the British Colum- bia valleys, especially the Fraser Delta," observed Secretary Clemans, "aré ideal for Holsteins, probably better than in Holland, and eastern breeders will need to bestir them- selves if they wish to prevent all the championship records falling into the hands of the men on the Pacific coast." Among the British Columbia re- cord breakers to which the secretary made reference, was Madame Posch Pauline, owned by the Colony Farm, Coquintham, which is the Champion Canadian mating cow for both seven- day and thirty-day butter-fat produe- tion. She seems now in a fair way to break the 12-month record for milk and butter, for In five and a half months she has given 18,000. pounds, and is still going strong. Go By Way of Cape Race. The British Government has direct- ed that for the remainder of the pres- ent season all shipping between Cana- dian and British ports should aban- don the route through Belle Isle Strait and use that by way of Cape Race exclusively. This will enable the cruisers now employed on thie North Atlantic to give more eflicient supervision to shipping and protection from pos- sible interference by German war- ships from now until the close of navigation, The wireless station at Cape Race has been restricted from any business and required to handle only naval and official messages. A cor- don of British warships stretched from Cape Race eastward to the British coast and another patrols the ocean sufficiently far south to enable the guarding of all British shipping _ traversing the North Atlantic to be efficiently carried out.
