FRENCH INDO-UHINA.
The Temps says that a French steamer is engaged in laying a cable between Amoy and Thuan-an, Indo-Chinu, Another cable will soon connect Amoy and Waldiwostock, and messages will be able to reach Paris from the Far East over the Trans-Siberian and Danish lines and avoid British lines entirely.
The Administration of Posts and Tele raphs at Marseilles sent two telegraphists by the last French mail steamer to take up duty at the station of Tourne, and has homininted two others, whose destination will be,, Amoy; they will leave very shortly. These rahlists are in- tended to work the new Amoy Annam line. Speaking at Rouen, M. Dousner, the Governor General of Indo-China, avowed that the object of France in conquering and aynexing was to capture the Chinese market. In itself, Tong- King is worth very little. But it has great commercial value by reason of the easiest trading route to Western China passing through Kauen, which formerly bad only a tenth of the trade in cotton goods, now possesses, M. Doumer said, 97 per cent. of the trade. Sub- sequently M. Waddington printed our all these goods were measured in yards und not metròs, and thought that what had been changed in Madagascar could also be done in Indo China. M. Dounter replied that the latter place was older seuled, and had got into more fixed grooves from which it was hard to change them. Madagascar being an island, and isolated, it was easier to work modifications, He also alluded to the Yunnan Railway Ques tion. It was the plateau of Yunnan, he said, that dominated the Yangtsze Valley, and he went on to ask 'his audience to cast their eyes upon a map. The Asiatic Continent, he said, was barred' across by the chain of Himalayas, There were only two points of penetration- Afghanistan and Yunnan. Did not that sufficiently indicate the interest France had in pushing their commercial activity in that direction ?
MASTS FOR YACHTS..
Since the collapse of the masts of the yachts Shamrock 11. and Constitution, following a similar catastrophe to the Columbia, several ingenious suggestions have been made for strengthening these huge steel spars.
It is generally agreed that wooden masts in these yachts would not have broken and that the steel mast is really weaker than the wooden one. But it is almost impossible to get wooden"| spars big enough for these huge yachts, and hence builders have been driven to steel.
One suggestion is that nature in the bamboo cane solves the problem, and that steel masts should be made like the bamboo, in compart ments with rounded corners inside,
Another suggestion is that the masts should, be supported inside with steel disks riveted in at regular intervals, these in an being further strengthened by steel rods running crosswise up and down inside the mast.
In repairing the mast of the Constitution à riventer crawled inside the spur and there help ed to hammer in the rivets, which gives a fair idea of the width of these tubes.—Exchange. .

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
From New York comes the report that Mr. Edison has invented a new electrical storage battery one-third the weight of those now In
The essential innovation, according to the advices, is the substitution of iron and nickel for copper and cadmium, with the resul that where it has taken hitherto 150lb. of storage weight to hold one horse-power of energy, he can now effect the same end with a weight of 53lb. Mr. Edison, though not a man of science, But an inventor," as he described liimself, has a wonderful instinct for perceiving the thing that ir most wanted. The storage of power is the want of the age. There are practically only two forms in which it can be conserved. One is in materials of combustion, mainly coal, which prescient Nature laid by for us in the earth's cellars millions of years ago. The other is in the form of electricity; and electricity is pre-eminently the means by which we can store power derived from any other sources. In 1897 a correspondent in South Africa point ed out that the sunshine of the veldt or the desert could be turned into mechanical energy the moment cheap and light accumulators were invented. The energy of sunlight poured in vain every day on Sabura would supply the en- tire moving force required by all the cogines of Great Britain. Wind, running water, tides, and waterfalls may all be yoked to the car of in- dustry. The Electrical Revter points out that the development of the motor car, electr:- cal propulsion for ships, and especially torpedo boats-so long as war continues and possibly the construction of flying machines, may all depend on our power to transform the at present wasted forces of the world into electri city, and to hoard it for future use. Mr. Edison is a sanguine man, but if he be right, he can confine two-horse power within a battery weigh. ing only a hundred-weight, and this is but a step. It is not vary optimistić to believe that the day may be approaching when a ton of
storage
"will be worth more than a ton of coal.:

AMERICAN PRISONERS FROM THE BOER WAR.
[AMERICAN MAIL CABLE.)
NEW YORK, July 7th,
A special to the Herald from Washington, says: Americans fighting in the Bner annies. made prisoners by the British will have to endure captivity until the close of the South African war. Great Britain has déclined to comply with the request of this Government to release an American now confined in the island of Ceylon, and this refusal will probably prove a bar to further presentations by the State Department on behalf of Americans captured as belligerents in South Africa. The test case was that of a naturalized American named Morgan, who claims residence in Virginia.
**
Lord Milner, British High Commissioner in South Africa, disapproves of the release of for eigners who fought with the Boers. He has announced that a person who serves as a belli- gerent with the Boer forces loses his nationality and must be treated as an enemy. This view is concurred in by the legal officers of the State Department.
The department is satisfied from investiga. tions made by American Consuls and British authorities that all reports that the British are 1-treating their prisoners are without founda. tion. The only hardship that Americans cap- tured in South Africa will have to undergo will he that of confinement until hostilities ceases.
LONDON CABBIES.
HIT BY THE QUEEN'S DEATH, THE WAR, AND THE TUBE,
With the end of this week the London cabman's season closes, and after Saturday he is entitled to pay a shilling less to the pro- prietor for the hire of his cab, says the Morning Leader of Wednesday, July 10th.

Every precious stone is now successfully imitated. Artificial diamonds have been made for more than foo years, the process being first discovered by a German named Strass, and. the peculiar kind of glass that bears his name exactly resembles the diamond when cut. Strass is nothing more than rock crystal, to which borax, arsenir, potash and other chemicals have been added. The ingredients when thoroughly pulverized and sifteil are placed in a crucible and subjected to enormous heat in a furnace. The melting occupies from twenty to thirty-five hours, and skill is needed to see that the proper temperature is maintained or the strass comes out cloudy and utterly useless, At the expiration of that time the crucible is removed and placed in a chamber, where the heated atmosphere is permitted to gradually cool and solidify the strass, which is then ready to be cut as required. Exactly the same process is followed in making emeralde, except that large proportions of fine white sand and green oxide of chrome are melted into the Atrasa. Opals are by far the most difficult stones to imitate; indeed, it is only within the last decade that they have been successfully 'copied with the aid of electricity and solution
of silicates,
Everyone is nwarn that when real diamonds are cut a quantity of fine dust is given off which is apparenty valueless. But lapidaries collect the sweepings from the tables and sell them to the makera of artificial gems at $20 per pound. These purify them with an acid that destroys everything but the pure diamond dust. This is mixed with another acid and placed under enormous pressure, which results in sheets of diamond dust as thin as paper being giver off. The facets of the sham stone are then covered with transparent cement and a layer of diamond paper" laid upon them. When dry the false
