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. Manoeuvring with as much precision as if she were engaged at a naval review, and not a ses fight, she let the Forte bave the full impact of another 6-in. gun discharge. Boony I'

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.
