The Queen's Birthday was celebrated by the opening of tho quo Botorin Park on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. From the Clif- tou House up the river for two miles an elegant park has been created. The mill, the clones in the spampa, and the crambling banks have boon displaani ugovory sort of banatifid and sub- stantial structures and devices of landscape art. Hanceforth tourists will not only be much more
ratllad with their visit to this wonderful spat.. than has been the anse hitherto, but they will find the official charges more moderate than the former charges. The works had been begun and completed within a year, at a cost of norly half a million dollar.
There seems to be no doubt that the "frigate. biyi," na lobabllant of the tropical sens, is the swiftest bird that dies. It has been hopossible to calculate its rate of fight within fixed limits. The poetorul mulée, are immensely developed, and weigh marly ane-fourth

It has been computed that the great speed it attains is about 276 miles an hour, which, if maintained for about six hours, weald aarry the bird from its Summer retreat in England to Central Afrien. The American "gavas black duck" is commonly computed to bo capa-
cuffying 200 miles an hour.
A United States navy offoer has invented s life-saving dovics for the dreaded omorgency of *inna ovarboned" which promises to be of value. A raft-boy of sufficient size to support a mar is altached to the vessel by a long and strong but light wire rops. The buoy in stocked with") a small supply of provisions, and is Fureiset witan potassium compound which, upon couteet with the water, ignites and burns briliantly for twenty minutes... If the drowning man, ailed by the flame, suveeds in reaching the raft, he cur be drawn to the vessel without the neuraxity of lowering boats. Should the rope break and his own cassel lose track of him, he has, with the provisions, a chance of sustaining life antil picked up by others.
