direction of }la r. Hardy, Coln;
missioner of '•wn Lands, giving all
eeessary "oriation for intending

pro. ts, agricultural 'aud mineral
resources, etc., of the verylargc and
'very imperfectly known districts of
Ontario, comprising Eastern Algoma,
North Nippissing, Rainy River, and
the rl�'orniscaniing settlement. The
-one dealing with the Rainy River
District was compiled by Mr, Frank
Yeigh, of the Department of Crown
Lands, and the one descriptive of the
TeriscaCning District was written
by Mr.. 0. 0. Farr, of Hisileybury, in
that District. The three palnpllleits

tions observed. •
We .eannot do better than eopy
'what the Presbytsriari says about
these districts as desirable fields for
:settlers :
To many it will come with all the
interest And surprise of a revelation
to be informed that within a very
moderate distance- from the oldest
:settlements of Ontario there is a
large fertile and healthy district of
.country, where farms can be secured
as free grants, or for payments of; a
very shall and most reasonable
:description. And yet such is un-
doubtedly the . fact, and we are
pursuaded that many who are anxi-
tious to make for themselves homes,
would. do better by going to these
newly opened districts of Ontario
than by taking themselves to our
own vast, and, ' in. many respects,
attractive North Western prairies.
We do not pretend to give, even
in the faintest outline, an epitome of
these very interesting and well
Written pamphlets. Let all who
wish to settle on land and who have :
but little cash with which to make a
.start, procure a copy of them, which I
they can easily do by application to t
the Crown Land authorities, and let
them road, mark and inwardly digest
the intormation they contain. We
,are quite sure that they will thereby
be helped to a decision, and to such a
;subsequent course of action as will
insure a moderate amount of pros-
perity and comfort for the rest of
their lives.

One great advantage to intending
settlers in these districts is that they
.are so accessible and can be reached.
at very little expense. In the old
time it was not uncommon for settlers
to carry on their backs for .several
days journey their furniture, Sour
,and general supplies. In the dis-
tricts of which these pages treat, a
settler would have to try very hard
In order to get more than few a miles

the greater part of his transporta-
tion can be done by water. The old
pioneers had frequently to wait ninny
years before they could establish
•churches, wheel and municipal
organization. ' Now, so admirably
organized are the missions of • the
'various Christian denominations that
very few indeed are the settlers who
do not have an opportunity of hear-
ing the Word of God every Sabbath..
As to education, schools spring up as
.soon as the children are there, and
the excellent laws of this rProvinee
provide a form of local self-govern-
anent—cheap, efficient, easily worked
and adapted to the needs 'of a new
and struggling community.
These pamphlets ought to be clleu-
Iated broadcast, not merely in other
eeountries but throughout our own
Province. When so many of our
farmers' sons are forsaking the farm,
and seeking a precarious and, in
Most eases, a very unsatisfactory
living in the greatly , er'owded pro-
fessions, it is specially opportune to
point, as these pamphlets do, to such
opportunities, comparatively at our

-of average strength, intelligence and

on the subject was his majesty's grand
master of ceremonies, Mr. Sannontiya,
fie told me that the emperor was the I • rd -

directionsto bring all telegrams that came
concerning the rebellion in Corea directly
to him, no matter what hour of the night
they came. He said itis whole day was
devoted to work, and that he bad his
fingers on nearly every 'branch of the gov-
ernment. I heard the same from other
Japanese statesmen, and the change in
Japan is no more wonderful than the
change which has taken place in the char-
acter of the emperor.
The present Emperor of Japan was kept
in a sort of ,glass cage, figuratively speak-
ing, during the first third of his life. He
was 45 years old last.ptovetnber,and was put
on the throne at the age of 15. This was

His palaces are now a combination of
Europe and Japan. They cost 2$,000,000,
and the walls of 'many of the rooms are,
sliding ones, made of immense plate glass
doors in lacquered frames. They are so '
arranged that a great number of rooms
can be thrown into one, and many of the
parlors are large, Some are celled with
the most magnificent embroideries,. and
there is one roost which has a ceiling of
gold -thread tapestry, the cloth covering of
which cost 210,000: Many of the floors are
inlaaid, and they are all Covered with the
finest and softest of white mats, on the top
of some of which. are magnificent rugs. I
don't know°how ninny rooms there are in
the palate buildings, but they run well up
into the hue reds. There isone dining -
room that will seat one hundred people.
There are ballrooms and drawing -rooms,
libraries and studios, and there are bed-
rooms finished in both foreign and Japan-
ese style. The banqueting hall takes 540
squaie yards of matting to cover it. Its
ceiling glows with gold and its walls are
hung ivith the costliest silk. There are six
imperial studios' in the palace, and the
throne chamber bas a ceiling paneled with
the Japanese crests. It is here that the
emperor receives the foreign ministers,
and he talks to them through interpreters.

and also bow three times when they back.
out.. and the receptions as a rule are very
stiff on the part of both the mikado and
the foreigners.
The Emperor of Japan, according to the
people most closely connected with him at
Tokyo, has by no means an easy office to
till. Japan now contains inore than 40,-
000,000 people, and there are a baker's
dozen of political factions, inany Of which
are anxious to create trouble. The chang-
ing condition of the people slakes plenty
of work. You can never tell who is going
to fly off on a tangent, and the newspapers
have to be carefully watched. The em-
peror keeps his eyes on everything. ,At
least I was told so. 'He rises early, and
breakfasts about 7 o'clock. He uses a
knife and fork whenever be takes foreign
food, but he prefers the chopsticks at his
Japanese dinners. He eats both kinds of
food, and is very fond of rite, taking it
withevery meal. He likes meats, and is
by no means averse to sweets. He usually
eats his breakfast alone and also his lunch.
His dinner is served in table d'hote style
and with all the European accompani-
ments. Contrary to the regular practice
In Japanese families, his wife often sits
down at the table with him, and also the
crown prince. His work begins as soon
'es his breakfast is over. From 9 o'clock
until 12 he receives his ministers and dis-
cusses natters of state. After this he takes
his lunch and then spends a little time in
reading newspapers. He watches closely
the 7npanese press, keeps track .of current
public opinion and, I venture, changes his
actions somewhat to stilt it. All the papers
are looked over for him and the passages
which he should see are marked. Ordinary
misstatements or criticisrns he passes over,
but if it newspaper becomes at all danger-
ous he gives an order to his censors acid the
newspaper is Stopped, while its editors are
liable to be thrown into prison. He has also
the leading foreign papers, and the articles
of these which treat of japan are trans•
lated for 11€25, and he keeps track of public
opinion all otter the world. He'takes our
illustrated papers, and fhb articles relit,
ing to the. pictures in them ate sometimes
translated. IIe does a great cleat of work
in the afternooti, brit toward evening goes
out for exercise. He is a good horseback

about 200 in his stables, and these are of
all kinds, including a number of fine
hunters. 'he emperor is fend of lntnting,

plenty of pheasants, and his majesty is

The Emperor of Japan is entitled to be
considered the most aristocratic ruler on
earth, Tlie royal family of Japan has a
genealogical tree which reaches to heaven,
and their traditions stats that the emperor
comes from the gode. There have been 129
emperors of Japan and they all belong to
this family. The first onegoverned Japan
just about 2,500 years ago. He was on the
throne long before Julius C.teser aspired to
he the Emperor of Rome, and 200 years be-
fore Alexander the Great thought he had
conquered the world. The Japanese have
the history .of all their emperors from
that time down to this, and they wiU itasure

ONLY ViSIBLE FOR A MOMENT.
A Cannon Which Delivers Its Fire and
Then Disssltpears to Ile Reloaded.
A remarkable invention is the Crozier
disappearing carriage and gun. Captain.
Crozier is stationed. at Sandy Hook. His
latest—a 10 -inch gun=ms now being tested
there. The underlying principle of the
mechanists is founded upon the geometric
theories that, if a .right line move so that
two of its points remain upon two other '
lines, making an angle with each other,
the extremity of any other point of the
moving line will describe on ellipse. The
trunnions, of the gun are mounted at the
ends of two levers, which in turn are
mounted at their centres on two hydraulic
buffing cylinders, which are placed one on
each side of the top of the carriage. The
other ends of these levers carry the
Counterweight, a mass of nletld weighing
87,000pounds, placed in the centre of the
carriage, carrying with them the trun-
nions of the supporting levers and raising
the counterweight, which is held in its
elevated position by a system of pawls and
ratchets. When the counterweight is re-
leased it throws t'herear ends of the gun-
bearing levers forward and upward. The
bulling cylinders are drawn forward over
their stationary pistons to the front end
of the carriage. At the same time the
breech end of the gun is carried up by steel
arms, whose upper ends are pivoted to the
gun; and whose lower ends are pivoted to
sliding blocks Which hove in circular
grooves, and which may be raised or low-
ered to give the desired elevation.
When the discharge occurs the force of
recoil throws bask the upper ends of the
levers, which in turn force the cylinders
to the fear end of the carriage and raise
the counterweight to its original position,
where itis caught and held by the pawls
and ratchets. Neither tite gun nor any
part of the carriage is exposed above the
protecting parapet excelit for the `instant
of firing. The extreme elevation is• .5 de-
grees; .the depression, 9 degrees. It is
calculated that two-thirds of the force of
the recoil comes up in the hydraulic cylin-
ders, the other third being used in raising
the counterweight. Ten rounds were
fired from it in fourteen minutes and nine-
teen seconds, the most rapid firing of any
gun known. The shell is 575 pounds. A non-
commissioned officer and eight men can
handle the gun. ' A. reporter saw it tested
the other day, When the bar released the
tatehet the gun rose itt the air with an
ease and grace that was astonishing. The
explosion was ck.tsCeiling, and the Instant
after down it Came to its original position
with the same gentle and graceful mo-
tion, as if it tver'e it more toy being handl-
ed ijy a girl.
The Judgd Couldn't See It.
In a suit for -separation, counsel for the
plaintiff pleaded, among other reasons, in-
compatibility of temperament. He de-
pleted the .eltaracter of the husband as
"brutal, violent and passionate. The hus-
band's advocate rose in his turn and des-
cribed the wife as "spiteful,short• tempered
and sulky." "Pardon nie," interrupted
the judge,.addressing both limbs of the
law; "I• cannot see, gentlemen, where
the incompatibility of teinperament comes
in.
