One of the most remarkable engineering feats appears to have been achieved in China, in the face of extraordinary physical &Soul- ties—namely, the successful stretching of a steel wire cable of seven strands across the river Duman, this feet having been accom- plished by the Danish engineer Delinde, assisted only by unskilled native labor. The *sable extends between two points at a dis. tanes -of 4,700 feet apart, the height of the first support being about 470 feet above the present level of the river and the second about. 740 feet. The cable in question is said to be the longest in the world, with a single exception—nam sly the (tibia across the Kistnah, measuring some 5,070 feet. There are also two cables across the Ganges of -2,900 and 2,830 feet, respectively.

In the laseelection 18 1886 Mr. Kenny, Liberal, had a majority of 2,508, so that in the present' election there is a falling off, in the Gladstonian majority of 57 votes; but the total number of votes polled was increas- ed ftom 8,342 to 10,013, showing tee intense Keenness with which the battle was fought. kind happent.

The trees need sufficient soil on the roots to keep them firm during high winds. The quince roots in a shallow soli and deep planting or deep culture is nob to be desired. A moist soil for them, however, is very, essential.
