Two of these terrible orgines of destruct ion wore hurled against the foo. They were sont on their fearful mission by boate from the battleship Resolution. Nover had the men of that ship been more resblutë. But the mines exploded resultless, baffled by the coal-packed sides of the flaming Forto.
It was about this time that despair began to seizu the minds of the beholders.
But suddenly a low, dark form appeared in the offing. It was the Bustard to the rescue. From Sheerness she came steaming, this plucky gunboat, her decks cleared for action, her men at quarters, and her 6-in. guns trimmed for the fray.
In her conning tower her captain calmly surveyed the conflagration. The crisia had no terror for his nerves.
Boom 1 Brom! The ccho came rolling back across the waters from the pier of Southond. ho Bustard had fired one of hor 6-in. guns.

THE PLAGUE IN BURYA.
A Meiktila correspondent writes to a con- temporary-This disease claims & victim here and a victim there daily. We now have a plague dootor, Lieutenant C. Rut- herford, I. M. S. Bombay, who, though he personally carries out a house-to-house inspection in town, hes not yet found a single plaguo patient, for the simple reason that the masses combine to suppress evidence in this matter, so much so that the first intimation received of a fresh fatal case in whon the carpouters assemble in front of the dead man's house to make his coffin. The people are not exactly panic. striken, but a feeling of despair is creeping over them and those who could have left tha place are, sorry. Those who have to remain on are moroso and silent, and in their trepidation, send-for-the-undertaker... long before the breath is out of the body of their dearest and nearest.
Such savages

THE NIAGARA FALLS.
Encroachments of Commercialism, `
Negotiations between the Canadian and United Government are now beginning with a view to the preservation of Niagara Falls by international action. Whether it will prove legal and feasible for the two general governments to supersede, as in 'now suggested, the local jurisdiction of the State of Now York and the Province of Ontario, remains to be scon; but it may be true that this form of control would bo a better safeguard against further oncroach. ments. The gravity of the present menace can hardly be too often emphasized. As Dr John M. Clarke, the State Geologist, wrote laat apring: "The American and three Canadian companies now in operation or about to operate, when producing to their charter limits, will abstract 48,000 cubic feet per second. That amount will
bring the water level to the bottom of the
river at the American shore," Hence the
recommendation of the International Waterways Commission, a fortnight ago, was that steps be taken to prevent any corporate rights or franchises being granted or renewed by either Federal, State, or until this provincial authority Commission is ablo to collect. the informa tion necessary to report fully upon the conditions and uses of these waters." The request for such a practical truce between the friends of the Falls and the business interests sooking to exploit them cannot well be refused.

In his rescript to the Sin Hau Kuk, His Excellency said that the proposed line was to start from Pak Kai How, (Kongmun), to Tansuihow. The convenience afforded by this line would be for the transportation of merchandise and passengers and the ter- minus would, therefore, be in a popular business centre. Although Kongmun has been opened to foreign

The line, the Viceroy continued, extende only a distance of 34 li and he was sfraid that whatever profit derived in future would only be small. He asked the Sin Hau Kuk to find out whether Chan Wai Hing, the promoter, was really a reliable man and if his associate, Luk Patson, was really a wealthy man as reported. The

In the of about a foot in beight, his smoothly Powter work stand was the figure of a monk, finished and polished draperies hanging in straight folds to his feet. On his head there was a ring, evidently to pick him up by, and beneath his chin a small crack w apparent, seeming to indicate that his head could be unsorowed. No English or American poison could guess what he was meant for. It was a hot-water bottle. Only a French artist could have produced anything at once so witty and so elegant. It was perfectly adapted to the object it Was intended to servo. This is the quality which characterises the best Parisian work.
