COMMENTING on the revolution in the speed that may be attained by ocean steamers when they are constructed of the light and strong metal called aluminium, instead of iron or steel, the London Spectator says, editorially: "It is calculated that a ship which, if entirely con- structed of iron, would draw twenty-six feet of water, would, when made of aluminium, not draw more than four or five.

He believed that that speech would be incomplete without the information thus supplied to him, and which he had previously made some inquiries about from the Premier.

NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, 10th May, 1890. The labor turn-out will be productive of good. It has shown in France, that there is a clear line of demarcation between the working men and the rowdies, revolutionists; or anarchists, with whom they will have nothing to do, and band them over to the attention and tender mercies of M. Constons, and his resolute succes- sors. Nor will the working men tie their Interests to any political party. They intend to deal directly with Parliament. They have renounced the soft-sawderism of the Municipal Council. The assembled myriads have also discovered that their remedies lie chiefly in themselves; that they are qualified henceforth to handle required solutious, by means of voluntary combinations, legally organized, and disciplined through conviction.

The Labor demonstration was not an agitation, but a phenomenal manifestation of the working class, to draw attention to fta grievances and demands. As the workers are resolved not to stray from legal paths, they may calculate upon an immediate attention and a sincere examin- ation of their complaints. The impossible is not dreamt of on any side.
