"The greenest good for the greatest
number" WAS the policy to which he
declared hie followers to be pledged
Without dealing with the repent
of scandals which have formed the
greater part of the awmuuitiou of
Government speakers. he -contrasted
the constructive policy of Liberal Gov-
ernments with the inertia of the pres-
ent holdere of office. He showed how
the prevent prosperous condition of
the finances of the j'reivince was not
due to any construe acct initiated
by the Conservative party. The cone
placent congratulations extended to-
wards the Provincial Teeesurer hy the
mover and seconder of the address on
the fact that he anticipated it surplus
of hall a million were shown to be
valueless. The channels through
which the increased Provincial rev-
enue had flowed were dug by Liberals.

their chosen ground. the agreements
entered into with the Montreal River
Company. Mr. blec ey proved the
policy of the late Government to have
been more advantaaeoue to New On-
tario than that of the prerent Admin-
istration. The old policy had been
framed to help colonization and de-
velopment, while the new merely had
for its object the swelling of revenue.

the Dominion and Imperial Houses.
The vacillating educational policy of
the Government received cen.ure,
while an interrogation as to the re-
sult.* accruing from the power policy
was almolutely unanswered by the
Premier.
Mr. 3lackay said that during the
debate the observer mast have been
,,truck, as Icing roost peculiar, by the
references made by speakers from the
Government side of the House 'to ad-
dressors deliver.wl by rueruhers of the
Opposition. llemhcrs of the Oppos-
ition had distinctly stated that they did
not desire to snake n political speech.
but preferred to make suggestion,.
That was following the policy which
had been adopted during the Inst
two or three years, of taking live sub-
jects and making suggestions which
the Howaw would do well to con-
sider. It wits a known fact that
the Hon. Richard Harcourt had
spoken in many ditTerent renters
on the gnat queelion of technical
education, urging the importance of
those who were to engage in skilled
labor to mulct -eland intelligently the

ARTILLERY •.CURIOSITIES.
Old T,m• Cannon That Wert. Mad* of
Leather, Wood and Rock.
Among the curiosities of artillery
odd inventions have a great place.
Cannon have been made of the most
unlikely materials. Leather was used
as early as Henry V1l1.'a day at the
•lege M Boulogne. The very articles
were stored In the tower once, and
Evelyn saw them there, inscribed
"Non Marti opus est cul non deficit
'Mercurius." Are they still lying 1,n
some corner of a forgotten lumbar
room? The Scotch employed leather
guns In 1860 to batter Turd Conway's
fortifications at Newbourne, and they
did the work well Describing the fe-
verish alarm in Pirie in 1702, Carlyle
says: "One citizen has wrought oat the
scheme of a wooden cannon. which
France shall exclusively profit by In
the first Instance. It L to be mads or
staves by the coopers, of almost bound-
less caliber, but uncertain as to
strength."
Two small pieces brought to France
by the Siamese ambassador's as pres-
ents from their king to Louts XIS'.
were the only artillery procurable fur
the ateck on the Bastllltwf eccentric
model 0o doubt, adorned with dragons
and golden lnsrriptlons, but efficient
workmanship. We read of gold cauoou
In, India. Thera were two so de-
scribed at Baroda in Burton's Uwe,
"to • which regular adoration was of-
fered." In fact, the tubes were of

For the defense of Malta in the old
days the knight. "invented a kind of
ordnance of their own, unknown to n11
the world beside," says Brydoue, an
eyewitness. They followed out the nat-
ural rock here and there In sncb fash
Ion that the cavity was like a.inortar
put a barrel of gunpowder into the
hole, plugged It with a wooelen disk
exactly fitting and heaped miscellane-
ous projectiles thereupon. About fifty
of these
singular cannon defended
creeks and landing places. Some of
thein were six feet in diameter and
,threw 10,000 pounds welgbt of Iron or
stone into the nor. Doubtless if all
went well they would P
u l do tremendous
execution upon nu enemy trying to
disembark.
But there are eccentricities still more
curious ou record. In a tomb on the
Island of Chinni, near Usumacinta,
Mexico, was found a cannon four feet
eleven inches long of terra cotta, with
terra cotta bullets. It is suggested
that when Cortex retired after his
great flight at Ceuta, Tabasco, the na-
tires copied the Spanish guns in clay,
hoping to produce the same resnits.—
