It niay have been merely a pardonable
pride of patriotism that made our Cana-
dian poet, Archibald Lampman, deolare
that the varied beauty, of the natural
surroundings of the Canadian capital,
where his home is, brings to mind the
lovely environment in which Florence is
set, that jewel of Italian cities. A little
exaggeration is of course only to be ex-
pected from a poet, and is surely par-
donable, AS. being due to the pride of
over -fondness for his home. The plain
truth, however, is that Ottawa is most
beautifully situated, and any ordinary,
average,, every -day man, who is not a
poet at all, will, when he visits Ottawa,
speak many words in praise of the scen-
ery round about what the Marquis of
Lorne called "that fair city with its
crown of towers."
Ottawa, with a population of More
than 45,000, has been growing rapidly of
late years, and its people, whose proud -
'est boast used to be that it is '•' themost
picturesque capital in the'world," are
now 15reclicting that inth5' future it will
be a great mann, j acti.iring and railway
centre, The great water -power afforded
• by the COhdiere and the Rideau Falls
have 10 since made Ottawa the chief
l ,tin'lier-milling centre in the Demi ion.
The Chaudiere Falls—so named the
first of the early Jesuit missi i,aries
whee as they voyaged up the, ttawa
River in' their canoes from thgt. Law-
rence,came in sight of theibud of mist
above the chti,udiere, ,(LCauldron" or
"kettle"—resembling hi' shape the rim
of a huge cauldron
over which the
waters of the P:veii3Ottawa, the third
greatest river inATolume in all Canada,
pour into thesceething Chaudiere, which
is here se ,+between the provinces of On-
tario and Quebec. In the immense lum-
ber ?]rrills at the Chaudiere, about 200,-
. 00�
;'000 feet of lumber are sawn 'every
slimmer. During the busy season, the
mills, in which thousands of men are
employed, work at night, and are light-
ed by electric light.
The other waterfall at Ottawa is the
Rideau Fall, about half a anile from the
Chaudiere, where the waters of the Ri-
• deau River leap into the Ottawa. The
Rideau Fall, which is 60 feet in height,
is divided by Green -Island. It is a sing-
ularly beautiful fall, and takes its name
from its resemblance to a curtain—ri-
dean, Government 1-Iouse, the vice-
regal residence of the Governors Gen-
eral of Canada, takes its name of Rideau
Hall from this waterfall, from which it
is only a stone's throw distant. Across
the Ottawa River, opposite Rideau Hall,
is the mouth of the Gatineau River,
along which, before its junction with
the Ottawa many are most picturesque
, brawling rapids.
The finest, widest view in Ottawa is
f,` that obtained from Parliament Hill,—a
steep, bold promontory rising 100 feet
from the River Ottawa, its sides thickly
wooded • with evergreen. its summit
crowned with the national buildings and
their "crown of towers." From Parlia-
ment Hill you -look across the river,
over miles and miles of country, to the
blue Laurentian mountains- along the
far northern horizon rim, and in what-
ever direction your gaze falls over this
vast panorama, it falls somewhere, if the
season be summer, upon the shining
curve of a river.
The .Parliament buildings are built of.a
sal cream -colored sandstone' from the vicin•
• ity of Ottawa. The dressings. stairs,
small gables and pinnacles are of Ohio
freestone, and pleasing variety is given
by the relieving arches of red Potsdam
sandstone over the door and window
openings. ' Tho roofs are of Vermont
slate of dark color, variegated by light
green bands. In the central building,
which is 475 feet long, aro the House of
Commons and the Senate chambers. A
massive clock tower 225 feet high rises
from the centre of the building. From
its summit every night when the House
ie in session a powerful electric light
shines forth. which is visible from all
i parts of Ottawa. This idea has been
1 borrowed from London, where a light is
always shown from the great tower of
the Parliament buildings at Westmin-
ster, when the House is in session at

WE.I.DI„ESS STEEL. CHAINS
'Uoscriptlou of the Method by Which
Links Are Gut From a, 131ar,
By M. Rongier's method, as practiced
at the works of the latent Weldless
Chain Company at Aston, Birming-
ham, the chain is made from a steal bar
of cruciform section, and of the great-
est length obtainable: This bar' ie. put
through a series of machines, in each of
which pieces are punched out, so that
after five operations the links are per-
fectly formed, bat are still connected
together at the point where the inner
side of the bow of one link crosses that
of the other. In fact, the bar repre-
sents a rigid chain, but on being passed
through another machine it comes.out
as a roughly -formed but perfect chain
with separated links, The chain then,
undergoes three more operations, in
which it is rectified, rounded, and fin-
ished ready for use. The process is a
cold one, so that there is no deteriora-
tion of the metal by heating, the only
heat applied being near the end of man-
ufacture. when the chain is annealed in
an overt for a short time. Owing to the
limited length of the bars, the chain has
,to be made in sections, and eventu-
ally coupled up by special links, which
are made stronger than the chain itself,
The chains, which are suitable for gen-
eral use, are produced, in various sizes,
from S- inch down to 3-32 inch. Some of
the 1 inch chains .inacle from steel hav-
ing a tensile strength of 24 tons per
square inch were tested at Lloyd's prov-
ing house, and broke at 11 tons 19 cwt.
1qr; Orb•, being 163 per cent. over the
Admiralty test. In addition to the
greater strength' of weldless stayed steel
chains over welded iron chains, they
possess several other advantages. • Be-
ing produced by machinery, all the links
in each section of the chain are exactly
similar, -Greatly reduced weight for
equal length and strength of chain is
also a point of importance to users as
well as to shippers.—English Mechanic.
