This means that a staff of men will be on the road at. all times, travelling from end to end 9! the transmission lines. Further, whereas inspection in the past. has practically been confined to superficial observation and the ab- sence of faulty construction discern- ible to the eye, each part of the me chanism will be placed under high _voltage on varying occasions to prove their worth. Contrary to general opinion, all the German insulators to which the trou- ble was traced in recent instances, are not being removed. W. K. McNaught of the commission stated last evening that a large number had been re- moved and replaced by others, but that the blame did not lie wholly with those of that make.

CHRISTIANA Norway, June 30.- The democratization of Norway is pro- ceeding at a pace that causes great alarm in royal circles. While King Haakon was on a state visit to his native Denmark recently, the Storth- ngParliament passed a bill suspend- ing the royal veto on Government measures. This veto is a mere formality, and is never used but suspending, it is significant because the Storthing ex- pects passing before long bills which the King would have been sorely tempted to veto.

So he promised rewards to his captors 11 they would insure his good treatment. adding confidentially that he was the Duke of Modena. He was exceedingly well cared for. and early next morning he was called before Napoleon, who was somewhat puzzled at finding two Dukes of Ho- dena among his prisoners, for the real duke was also a prisoner. The real duke angrily asked his counterfeit by what authority he had assumed the title of Duke of Modena. The young omcer answered: Cream 30c. Dairy butter 25c. Eggs 22c. Potatoes, ol-d, 90c. bus.

We hear much of American dyspep- sia, but there is one native race at America that is certainly not troubled in this respect. The Eskimo defies all the laws of hygiene and thrives. He eats until he is satisfied, but is said never to be satisfied while a shred at his feast remains unconsumed. His capacity is limited by the supply and by that only. The Eskimo cannot make any min. take about the manner or cooking his food. since, as a rule, he does not cook it. Nor, so far as the blnbber or fat of the arctic animal is concerned, is the Eskimo concerned about his manner of eating it. Indeed, he may be said not to eat it at all. He cuts it into long strips an inch wide and an inch thick and then lowers the strip down his throat as one might lower a rope into a well. Despite all this the Eskimo does not wafer from indigestion. He can make a good meal off the flesh and skin of the walrus. provision so hard and grit- ty that in cutting up the animal the knife must be continually sharpened. The teeth or a. little Eskimo child Win. it is said by those in a position to know, meet in a bit of walrus skin as the teeth of an American child would meet in the flesh of an apple, al- though the hide or the walrus is from halt an inch to .271 inch in thickness and bears considerable resemblance to the hide of an elephant.
