But that the more delicate exports are not yet much benefitted is evi- dent from the following article by a Grimsby man, in the Canadian Horâ€" ‘ ticulturist : “Fruit growers generally will never enter with confidence upon the export of tender fruits, such as Bar- tlett pears and peaches, until the cold ‘ storage service on shipboard is more satisfactory, or else till the govern- ment will guarantee us against loss in transport.

Our surprise was great to have a. report from Thos.

"worthless”; and that some of the lots will barely cover the freight. This is rather discouraging to pri-1 vate enterprise, for 10 shillings is not unusual for our half cases of pears in Glasgow when they are car- ried at a proper temperature. l While our shipment was kept at too high a temperature on shipboard both while lying at Montreal and for the first three days out, when it Was at last got down to 40 degrees, we noticed that the first experimental shipment of Bartletts by the U.

Mr. McNeill has just returned from Mont- real, where he spent three days in seeing fruit loaded into the steamers. When fruit arrives in England in bad shape it is generally attributed to defective cold storage on the steamers, but Mr. McNeil found in M0- ’ ntreal a consignment of Keiffer pears, which are as good keepers as apples, in such poor shape that water was running from the cases. Ordinarily these cases would simply have been ‘L‘A Lucas: wwvu n -7..-._ a loaded into cold storage, and the steamboat companies would have been blamed, but the fruit inspectors stopped them, and the fruit was sold on the dock to get as much out of it as possible for the shipper.

He closed this door and went to another to call the old man, who he knew had gone to the barn ahead of him. He received no answer to his call and then became alarmed. He en- tered the stable and drove the bull into its stall. On the floor with ‘life extinct, he found the body of the hired man, lying in a pool of blood. A doctor was summoned, but the poor man was beyond med- ical aid. known. Information concerning the law of finding may be useful on some occas- ion : "The finder has a. clear title agâ€" ainst all the world but the owner, and the proprietor of a coach or rail- way car or ship has no right to deâ€" mand anything which may have been found upon his property or premises. Such proprietors may make regula- tions with regard to found pro- perty with their employees, but they‘ cannot bind the public.” The "law was declared by the highest court more than one hundred years ago, in which, the facts were these : A per- son found a. wallet containing some money on a. shop floor. He returned. it to the shopkeeper to be returned to the owner. After three years, during which the owner did“ not call for his property, the finder demanded the wallet and money from the shop- keeper. ‘ The latter refused to deli- ver them up on the ground that they| were found on his premises. The finder then sued the shopkeeper, and it was held as above set forth; that “against all the world but the true . owner the title of the finder is per- '0 tflefi Mail and' Empire of (lured by a Bull Title of the Finder None of his relatives Editor Watchman-Warden .

After leaving Lindsay about the first of October we spent some weeks visiting friends in the counties of Elgin and Middlesex whom we had not seen for some years and where our childhood days were spent. I have been in Charlston, West Vitginia. two weeks, and although busy plac- ing machinery in a large new factory I have seen a. little of the country and this city. It is said the western part of this state is the levelest, if that is so the eastern part must be pretty rugged. Charleston is the state capital. I was in the capital buildings the day after my arrival, and saw the Senate chamber, and where the legislature meets once in two years. The streets and sidewalks here vvv J‘wâ€"_._ The streets and sidewalks here are all paved with brick with stone curbing. There is no asphalt or granolithic paving, here but a little stone in places, which seems to be} soft and wear away quickly. The streets are lighted with coal gas, electric lights and natural gas. A good many use natural gas for both light and heat in private houses. Coal seems to be abundant; it, crops out of the sides of the hills at var- ious levels, and the farmers after getting some lessons from a. practical 7 _.________ n‘nl‘ Anal BUhutas Ilvouv -v-..-_,.- _ miner, go into the mining and coal “ business when not engaged at their 7 work. They draw the coal into the 5 city on their farm wagons deliverâ€" 0 ing it to customers for about two e dollars and thirty five cents a ton. They sell it by the bushelâ€"seven dollars for a hundred bushels. I cannot understand why, as it: is oft- en as heavy as an ordinary person would care to handle. Last Sunday I took a walk to the Protestant cemetery a climb of six or eight hundred feet in less than a mile. It lies along the ridge of a hill and must be a pretty place in early summer with fine large oaks and chestnut trees, climbing vines and flowers. There is a fine large general hosâ€" pital situated well out of the city at a considerable elevation and a smal- ler one in the city, part of the same institution, I presume. The schools here boast of fine large buildings and no doubt a good staff of teachers in both public and high schools. The churches of this city would be called ‘ anything but grand or stylish. There are those of the usual Protestant de- nominations, a Catholic church and a convent, and a Jewish synagogue. The Methodist church here is still dividedâ€"the north and south. One would think they should «be the first to bury the hatchet but they still seem to remember the civil war times 1 and as the state was pretty evenly 3 divided in sympathy there must have "‘ been exciting times here in those days.

There were beautiful large roses and other flowers in the gardens at the first of the month, but a frost came a. week ago this morning which spoil- ed this beauty.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company is building fourteen miles of line in Pennsylvania, which is be- lieved to be the crookedest railroad in the United States. This little road will extend from Boswell, Pa., to Fridens on the Somerset and Camâ€" bria branch of the Baltimore and Ohio. The air-line distance is about five miles, but the peculiar configur- ation of the country makes it necesâ€" sary to loop a number of hills in order to get an easy grade. The new road doubles on itself four times and at one point after making a loop of about five miles the road comes back to within 300 feet of itself on a. grade fifty feet lower. Prof. C. A. Chant Lectures on Some Bo- nults of Modern Science. At the regular meeting of the To- ronto Astronomical Society, held in the Canadian Institute the other evening, Prof. C. A. Chant, 1’th addressed the society on the subject of “Some New Aspects of Ether Waves.’ Scientists, finding it im. possible to believe that light, heat and electricity can be conveyed through nothing, have imagined that space is filled with a substance known as ether. This other must possess great elasticity to account for the rapidity of the vibrations transmitted by it, and yet be of very small density or the motions of the heavenly bodies would soon be brought to an end. Dr. Chant explained. clearly the unity of the waves transmitted through the ether, commencing with the extremely short invisible vibra- tions which make themselves felt on the sensitive plate when the spec- trum of sunshine is photographed shading down through the colors of the visible spOCtrum from violet to red. then running through the longer; heat waves and into the still lbngcr electro-magnetic way“, be considered one of the most beauâ€" tiful and ingenious results of modern science to demonstrate the relation- ship of these radiations, which dis- closo themselves to us as chemical rays, light rays, heat rays, and last and by no means least, as electro- magnetic rays. which are now prov- ing so serviceable in wireless tele- graphy.
