STATIONERY ENGI\EFALS.
The Measure of Iasi Session is to be
Amended.
A despatch from Toronto says: It :s
understood that n measure will be in -
badmen by the Government during the
present session of the Legplature
amending In several important parti-
culars the stationery engineers' act of
last session. This provides In effect
that those In charge of engines of over
fifty horsepower must have a certificate
of competency issued by the board of
examiners consisting of twelve persons
appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor1n
Council. Engineers having certificates
from the Onlario Association of Engin-
eers or in charge of a steam plant com-
ing under the provisions of this tact, or
w Ito have had two years' experience in
the operation of such plant, are quali-
fied to receive from the Board of Ex-
aminers a certifcato of competency if
they apply for such betoro July 1, when
the act conies into effect, and supply
sullicient evidence of good character
and pay the prescribed fee.
The most important of the changes to
t.o made, 1t is said, provide for a re-
duclion in the membership of the Board
of Examiners to five, for the greater
control by the Government In the fix-
ing nt the animal fee to be paid by en-
gineers and In framing regulations
which engineers trust obey, and the

A despatch from Toronto says: Asi.le
from the extraordinary expenditure of
*!6,000 at Fort William as n result of

Wednesday afternoon at the quarterly

officer of the Province, reported that
the expenditure of 497 urban munici-

ATMOSPIIERIC N ITIkOG
Can Be Extracted By Means of Electricity
Says Prof, Saunders.
A daepalch from Ottawa says: The
progress of agriculture in Canada and
Ito practical results obtained by the ex-
tension of the experimental (arm sys•
tern formed the subject of an address by
Professor Win. Saunders, Director of
Government Experimental Farms, before
the Agricultural Committee on Wednes-
day Horning. As an illustration of the
growth and Importance of experimental
work Professor Saunders stated that In
P00 his correspondence n►nounted to
about eight thousand letters in the
course of the year, while for tete past
seven years the average had been 6:4,7'97
letters. In 1887 the number of seed sam-
ples distributed amen: len to 1,119, while
Incl year the total was 43,iisa. Conlraet-
Ing tho wheat production of the various
countries, he pointed out that Great Bra
tnin cnmo first with 30.95 bushels to the
acre, and Germany second with 28.25
bushels. Canada was well up, the aver-
nge for Ontario being 18.92 bushels per
5e re, Slanitobo 18.15 per acre, and the
Nerthwact 9.1:3 per acre. Experitnents
with Canadian Bed Fife wheal In Ent -
land had been lately cnrricd out, and
proved remarkably snccesafrl. With re-
gerd to spring wheats Professor Saun-
ders said that while goose wheal hnd
proved eminently successful in certain
localities, he could not advise Canadine
farmers to plant It generally. Referring
to recent experiments made by Sir Wil-
liam Crookes with a view of ext•acting
le means of electricity nil(ogen from
air, to be used as it fertilizer, Professor
Saunders said that when the scheme
was perfected it would revolutionize
ng:ricullure. At Niagara Fails an Ameri-
can company had sun's n million ..guars
in endeavoring to establish nn industry
o't these lines, but the cost of electricity
wits tel high to alloy tete project to be
successful. It seemed Mot if electricity
could be produced for Itis purpose at It

of nitrogen from 11►e ntinee here and the
production of nitrate of lune for fertiliz-

PT. ROYAL'S EARTHQUAKE
DESTRUCTION Our TIIR TOWN AS
CAPT. CROU ET SAW IT.
Hector of the Parish of Port Royal De-
scribed the Horrors of That
Earthquake.
The earthquake that destroyed Port
Nye', Jamaica, on June 7, 1694 appears
to have etude a far more complete j.,b
:I a than the shock that damaged King -
sten recently. Out of 2,000 houses in
the town only about 200 were lett stand-
ing, and the loss of life was tram 2,000
l e 3,000.
After that came a fire, and a few years
later a hurricane that put the 'Matting
touch on the town's discouragement.
tiro storm was so severe that out of fifty
vessels in the harbor only four leen-of-
war and two rnerclrant vessels were able
le ride it out.
'Ilse result of this triple disaster was
that the people of fort Itoyal threw up
tiro sponge and abandoned the long sand
spit that had been the site of their
lawn, and moved seven miles to tho
spot where they founded Kingston.
he clergyman who was rector of the
par.sh of Port Itoyal at that time wrote
d Ile _eve of what occurred, in which
he says:
"Whole streets with their tnhabilants
were swallowed up by the opening of
Iho earth, which when shut upon tlietn
squeezed the people to death. and in
that manner several were lett with their
heads above ground.
"It was a sad sight to see the harbor
covered with the dead bodies of people
of all conditions floating up and down
without burial, for the burying place
was destroyed by the earthquake which
dashed to pieces tombs and the sea
washed the carcasses of those who had
been buried out of their graves."
REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
At Green Bay, not far away, Is still
the grave of one Lewis Goldy, who, ac-
cording to the inscription on his tomb-
stone, "was swallowed up by the earth-
quake and by the providence of God was
by another shock thrown into the sen
where he was saved by swimming until
a boat look hire up. Ito lived many
years after in great reputation, beloved
by all who knew him and much la-
mented at his death."
