GEOLOGICAL CATASTROPHES. Although geologists generally accept the view that the features of the earth's surface are the product of gradual and uniform changes, Mr. N. A. Graydon is disposed to think that there are some special features which can only be explained on the assumption of great changes so rapid or violent as to justify their being regarded catastrophes. typical case is the Althour, which passes out to the deep ocean through a continuous deep.canon
130 or gorge miles long, known as Fosse de Cap Breton. At 30 miles from the coast the bed of the canon is 3,174 feet below the general level of the continental shelf, at 62 miles 5,442 feet below the same level, and can be distinctly traced to a depth of 9,600 feet where it opens but on the ocean floor. The physical features of this submerged river seem to indicate that the submergouce was so mpid and suddda as to be regarded as a catastrophe, as there is an entire absence of the shore deposits which would most certainly be present if the change had been gradual and uniform."

LORD WOLSELEY ON THE ARMY.
Speaking at a dinner given by the Carpen Ler's Company, Lord Wolseley, who was warmly received, said he did not think it was generally recognized how much the greatness and the credit of the City of London, the metropolis of the world and of our great Empire, had been built up and maintained by the City Com panies. A very large number of the members of these companies, like the Master of the Carpenters' Company, belonged to the Volun teer force, to which he knew how much assist- anca the City Companies had rendered. (Hear, hear.) Nor was the fact appreciated how much welfare and prosperity, as well as the secu- rity of our great country depended upon the efficiency of our naval and military forces. The British Army was but a small one, but it had many points of excellence which he thought made it remarkable among the armies of the world. It seldom fell to the lot of the great armies of the world to fire a shot in anger, whereas it was seldom that some portion of her Majesty's forces, either Imperial or Colonial, Avas not living, some experience in actual war Lare. They would, therefore, understand why be expressed his belief that her. Majesty's Army contained some of the most highly-instructed

EUROPEANS WHO SMOKE OPIUM.
Dr. Laurent, who has had a large experience in the hopitals of French Indo-China, makes a "rather surprising statement in a report of his smoker. He is discussing the classes who do on the physiology and psychology of the opium smoke, and says: "Europeans must also counted for an important share in the consump
bo
tion of opium, as in general they only smoke pure opium. A very large number of Europeans consume at least 1 kil. Amonth, and nly opinion and merchants who are settled in Indo-China, is that more than half of the European officials smoke opium either openly or secretly."
The Chinese, of course, consume most of the plum, and Dr. Laurent states that the vice is rare enough among the Cambodians, despite the example set then by their king Norodom, for whom opium of a special quality is made in Saigon.
He denies that opium-smoking leads to crime, except indeed timid thefts committed to get real, but it is a small matter compared with the another pipe of opium. The barm it does is

A NEW SMOKELESS COAL.
At Members' Mansions, 36, Victoria-street, Westminster, récently, an exhibition was given. by Mr. WA. Wallace, of that address, in con nection with a new patent sinokeless coal, which is stated to be available alike for marine and locomotive purposes, for industrial pro cesses of every kind, and for general domestic. use. In the adjoining premises, which are in course of construction, the new coal was burnt. in three iron grates placed on the floor. The con gave out an intense heat; there was a long bluish, flame over the fire; and no smoke was emitted. The syndicate which proposes very shortly to bring out a Company to manufacture and supply the col, claims that it is superior to the best Welsh steam: coal for marine pur- poses, and that for household use one ton of it, at a similar price, will go as far as a ton and a-half of the best household coal, and, in addis tion, no soot will be deposited in the chimneys' from fires made of the new coal The new fucl is made of coal dust, quicklime, and wood tar. Mr. George R. Thompsom, of Newport, the coal expert to the Government, after a practical trial of a sample, has reported to the syndicate that it has ample claim to use the term smoke- less," that the coal gives "a most clear and bright fire and good heat," and that it is very low in ash. For household use the coal is made in the shape of small balls, but for marine pur. gosef it will be prepared in the perforated brick from. It is stated that the coal has been tested on one important line of railway in England with very satisfactory results, and that it will soon be produced in large quantities.
