Professor â€" Belt=Finds_ a _ Remarkable Stream in Quebee, Professor Bell, of the geological survey, who returned to Ot:awa the other day reports having discovered a river in the province of Quebec of large dimensions. Shortly after the party crossed the height of land they followed an unknown river which gradually widened until it assumed Toward James‘ Bay there are successions of great rapids, which render it useless as an inland route. These rapids cannot be ascended, except with great difficulty. The river bauks are heavily wooded with pine, spruce, tamarac, balsam and white birch. The primeval fore«t extends along the whole length of the stream.. The only place in the country where there is a genuine car famine is in Pennsylâ€" vania. For nearly two months cars have been at a premium and as much scheming is now done by the coal, iron and steel men for cars as they formerly did for cut rates. They ure only too willing now, not only to pay tariff rates, but are freely offering bonuses for cars to officials who can influence their movements. . At several local points on its line the Lake Shore has a shortage of cars aod the Grand Trunk and Wabash are short in Chicago. These shortages by no means compare with the famine in Pennsyivania, and there is no danger of a real famine or blockade of traffic on eastern lines until January at ‘east. This new river, for which the Indians have no name, is much larger than the Ottawa, and Dr. Bell affirms it to be the ixth of the great rivers of the world. Its average width is considerably over a mile. and it has expansionsmany miles in width. It runs through a level clay country, is very deep, and may be called a new Nile of the north, The river is 500 miles in length, and great stretches woald be navigated for steamers. a great size. They followed this river to James‘ Bay. The river had three large branches, one of which has ite source north of Three Rivers, another in the Lake St, John region, and the third near Lake Mistassini. j corn have been received in Chicago and the movement of this year‘s crop will not become gereral until well along in Decemâ€" ber. _ Western lines own and operate about 150,000 cars capable of carrying grain. Coupled together these cars would make a train nearly 1000 miles long, According to railroad computation, it will take this enormous train, runring by piecemeal on all the roads of the west, nearly or quite nine months to baul all the grain to market.

London streets are very long and each one is crosed by an unlimited number of other streets running at right angles to it or cutting it diagonally or otherwise. From this it results that there are an unconscionâ€" able number of street corners, each one the junction of two streets, or three, or four,as may be, You may stand at any one of them without being told to move on and take in the viste of that portion of the town in: which you happen momentarily to be. In: this way the eye may grasp the perspectives of two, three or four streets successively, almost simultaneously, without as much as changing the position of one‘s body, in fact ‘ by simply turning one‘vneck. These streets wre composed as follows ; A row of houses to the right is paralleled at m distance of fiiteen, twenty,thirty, forty or fifty feet by a second row to the left, or vice versa, the fronts of each row of houses facing the fronts of the opposite row of houses, unless it be the backs which face each other, when it is a mews. A long and comparatively narrow space is thus left between the rows of houses, the center being a roadway for vehicles, and the edges being for the safe paesuge of pedestrians. This is the street. When you get tired of walking on it you can call a cab and drive back to your hotel.

The uses of mica are manifold. One of its lateat developments is distinctly novel. ! An ingenious Avstralian bas invented and introduced a mica cartridge for sporting and military guns. The filling inside the cartridge is visible, and a turther advaptage is that instead of the usual wad of felt a raica wad is used. This substance, being a nonâ€"conductor, unaffected by acids or fumes, acts as a lubricant. Where smokeless powders,such as cordite or other mnitroglycerine compounds, are used, mica has a distinct advantage over every other material used in cartridge manufacture, Being transparent sny chemical change in the explosive can be at once detected. The peculiar property it has of withstandin intense l!x,e.t is here utilized, the bnoog and barrel being kept constantly cool. The fouling of the rifle is also avoided, the wad actually cleaning the barrel. j At the hospital he was laid on the operâ€" ating table and Dr. Parmenter was sent tor, The attendant surgeons put him under the influence of chloroform while waiting for the doctor. Dr. Parmenter saw when he arrived that the case was a setious one, but all efforts on his part to locate the obstacle were of no avail. Probes of all sizes were inserted into the boy‘s windpipe, but the organ could not be found. He was of the opinion that the organ had lodged in the stomach. Frank Smith a 16 yearâ€"old boy of Bufâ€" falo lies at the Fitch Hospital with a mouth organ iz his stomach. . He swallowâ€" ed the instrument early in the night, and before the surgeons could examine bim it ‘had passed through the traches into the boy‘s digestive organ. THE AVERAGE INCREASE in England was 17 shillings,in Scotland 26, and in Ireland 39. In England nearly two thirds of the locomotive engineers receive over 40 shillings, or $:0, a woek, and only 3 in 1,000 less than 30 shillings, In Scotland only oneâ€"twelfth of them get 40 shillings, while 320 in 1,000 get less than 30, which is strange, for Scotch trains wre run as fast as English and require equal skill, Firemen get about ‘oneâ€"half as much as engineers. 1‘woâ€"thirds of the English guards are paid over 25 shillings but signalmen are paid. much less, "‘twoâ€" thirds of them between 2)and 25shillings and oneâ€"fifth less than 20 shillings. â€" The chances of earning over $10 a week vary with the trades,sometimes with no apâ€" parent reason. Newspaper printers are the best off, as 37 per cent. of them attain that sum ; then come tinâ€"plate workers with 23 per cent, ; 13 per cent. of shipbuilders, 11 per cent. of brass and copper workers, and 10 per cent. of coopers l?lo earn it. But while 15 per cent. of the brewers earn 40 shillings, only oue per cent. of the distillers do, and 4 workersin pig iron obtain that sum to 1 worker on railroad cars. Wages tend to increase siowly in all the | British trades, is one conclusion of the report, though it cannot be proved till full reports for later years are published, The boys stop avd ran to him. He was in great agony. The mouth organ had slipped out of his fingers and had lodged in his windpipe, They hurriedly took him to a doctor near by, but the doctor was not in, so they started for the Fitch Hospital. On the way to the Hospital young Smith began to feel better, The organ had edged down into the windpipe and he breathed easier. Still he was decidedly uncomfortable, A Buffalo Boy Swallows a Harmonica WhilePinying ‘"The irish Washer woman." Early Monday night he and a number of boys of his ege gathered in front of John G. Avery‘s saloon and grocery at 797 Abbott road. They were joking and wrestâ€" ling with each other, when young Smith took from his pocket a little toy mouth organ about two inches long and an inch wide. He began to play on it. His comâ€" pations were greatly amused,. |â€" They asked him to play a lively jiz, and they would dance a clog or two. _ Young Smith struck up * The Irish Washerwoman." The boys were dancing with great vigor when they saw young Smith make signs to them to stop. He was greatly excited and began to turn pale. Pn In considering the earnings of railroad workmen, a comparison is possible with the figures for 1891, as in that year very complete returns were made by all the companies. _ The average of wages has risen by one guinea, or $5.11, in five years, being now £59 and 18 shillin ;ge448 of the men received less than 20 shilingsin 1886 to 42.1 in 1891, and 44.5 received between 20 and 30 shillings in the latter years, against 43.1 in the former. iron and steel shipbuilding London wages are £112, on coast they are £79, on the Lancashire £68.

Lancashire ironmasters pay their pigâ€"iron workers £87 a year, in the Cleveland district they pay £80 and in Scotland £74. In enginâ€" cering works in London the wages are £80, in Manchester they are £68, and in other English districts £50 ; in Scotland the rate is between £50 and £65, while in Ireland it is £71 for Dublin and £42 for the rest of the country, including Beliast.

An important blue book just issued by the British Board of Trade gives the statistics of wages paid for manual labor n Great Britain in trades requiring #ome degree of skill, but excluding workers in textile trades and in mining, as to whom reports have already been published. ‘The figures are those of wages paid during the year 1886, the slowness of English officials being greater even than that of our Census Bureau ; in some cases, however, compariâ€" son can be made with the returns of the British consus of 1891. The report will fo luomc time form the basis of comparison and theorizing, and is valuable as giving delinite information on the question of the *"pauper labor" of Europe. The average wages paid to every man: was 24 shillings and 9 pense, $6.03, a week, ‘ or m dollur a day, which if he had conâ€" tinuous employment ‘0 52 weeks woald give £64, or $320, a year, _ The average for women wes 12 shillings 8 pence, $5.08, a week ; for boys, 9 shillings and 2 pence $2.21 , for girls, 6 shillings and 5 pence, $1.56. _ These are the averages of the wages of 816,106 persons. In round numbers, oneâ€"twelfth of these persons earned $350 a yeir or over, arotherâ€"twelfth between $300 and $350, oneâ€"third between $250 and $300, oneâ€"twelith between $200 and $250, and fiveâ€"twelfths $200 or lesa ; included in this last class is the greater number of WOMEN, BOYS, AND GIRLS, Wages are lower in Scotland than in England by 10 per cent., while in Ireland they are from 16 to 20 per cent. less as will be seen by the table > f annual wages paid to different classes of mechanics.
