The decision arrived at by the Committee, appointed at the Public Meeting held in the City Hall on Monday last, that the monies, to be collected in Hongkong, in aid of the sufferers by the War in South Africa, should be forwarded to the Mansion House with directions that they should be paid over to the Soldiers and Sailors Families' Associa tion is eminently satisfactory.

A NATURAL Soap mine and a paint mine were two of the latest curiosities which have been discovered in British Columbia. Several sprin lakes have been found in the foothillsear Ashcroft, British Columbia. According to Feilden's Magazine their bottoms and shores are encrusted with a natural washing compound containing borax and soda. It is quite equal to the washing powders in common use for cleansing purposes. About 275 tons of the compound have been cut out of one lake. It is handled exactly the same as ice. One lake alone contains 20,000 tons.

A TUNNEL between the Post Office and St. Martin's-le-Grand, London, the London and Northwestern Railway station at Euston, which has lain idle for nearly forty years, is now to come into practical use. It was built in 1859 for the purpose of carrying mails and parcels pneumatically. The railway cost $875,000 from the Post Office to the railway station The difficulties of using pneumatic pressure on a large scale caused the project to end in failure. The power was increased from 100 to 8oo horse power, but the results were the same. The tunnel is 4 feet in height and 4 feet in width. Now an electric train is to be run through it, and a regular mail service between the important station and the Post Office can be maintained. The trip will require only about five minutes. The tunnel is also to be lighted electrically.
