Streets and Building Bill have considered
the advisability of limiting the height of
buildings in Loudon, and they eventually
paned a clause giving the nutaimura height
ef any building at 80 feet, unless the build-
ing is either a church or a chapel.
The latest London sensation is a young
lady who is enveleped in a ectek with her
hands and feet tied. She then dives from
a platform 70 feet in height into a Male
with six feet of water. Here she liberates
herself from the sack and cornes to the

a gentleman -very similarly attired, and the
effect upon a very numerous throng of
Sunday visitors was electrifying. In a
short time the pair were followed by an
"admiring" and audibly critical crowd,

ERIE MEDICAL COI, Ruff*, Not:
During the recent cold weather in the
North of England, the body of a pauper
was found in a field at Chadderton, near
Cddham, guarded by a fox terrier. The
man had died from exposure and the dog
had watched by his body, and when discov-
ered would not let ib he touched. Next
day another pauper was found to have simi-
larly succumbed to the weather, this time
neer Failsvrorth. Here also, a faithful
workhouse dog had guarded the remains
through the long night, and wail loudly
barking to attract attention when the body
was discovered. To the last it refused to
leave the body of the poor fellow.

20 yards -wide, through which the water
rushed. into a deep hole, from which clay
had been dug on the other side of the tow

emptied for over a mile in extent. As this

A wholesale poisoning of cattle is taking

as scientific analysis disclosed, and now a
further and more successful attempt has
been made to thin off a herd on a second
evicted farnein the same district. Out of
27 head of cattle 11 died, it is presumed, of
poisoning within a few days, and it is ap-
prehended that the entire number will suc-
cumb, as the surviving animals show symp-

with 9136 indioated horse -power on the
forced draught trial a speed of 20.5 knots,
equivalent to nearly 24 statute miles per

with this class of vessel. The ship was

At the trial of M. Carnoes assassin when
Coaerio's weeping and wailing mother was
mentioned by M. Debrueil, his counsel
Caserio bowed his head and sobbed.
Debrueil took advantage of this, the first
point in favor of his argument, and turning
to thejury he asked, "Is this poor wretch
completely responsible? His mind is unhing.
ed by a hereditary germ of cerebral disease,
together with the influence of his peculiar
social condition. His father became an epil,

ultured state he came into
contemt with the Anarehist Advocate G'ori,
who naturally exercised an intellectual in-
fleence over Gaserio's simple mind. This
line of argument was begun by a declare,
tion from M. Debrueil that Gori was morally
the author of Caserio's crime.
Caserio here sprang to his feet and iater-
rupting his counsel forbade any further de-
fence of his cause at the expense of his
friends. After this outburst Caserio calmed
down and took his seat.
M. Debrueil, resuming his argument,said
Caserio fled from Rely to France bedause
he had been condemned in Italy. He came
to France withont money and without a
passport. Caserio, he declared, was a mere
instrument.
"No," shouted Caserio, springing to his
feet, "that is not true." The prisoner then
in an excited manner addressed himself to
M. Debrueil, insisting that he terminate his
argument at once.
M. Breuillac,the presiding judge,frowned
the prisoner down and threatened to put
him outside the court room and. keep him
there during the remainder of the trial if he
did not remain quiet. •
Tag ,TURY OUT TIIIILITEZt IsILTUTES.
The court gave these questions to the
jary "Did the prisoner, Santo Caserio,
assassinate President Carnot and was the
crime premeditated ?" The jury retired ab
12.05 o'clock and were absent just 13
minutes. They returned to the court and
presented an affirmative answer to both
questione.
At the announcement of the verdict the
supercilious grin which Caserio has worn
most of the time during the trial disappear-
ed like magic and his face blanched.

Caserio was sentenced to death at 12.37.
As the eentence was pronounced he tottered
and with a weak voice said, "Vive social

CHINA AND JAPAN,
The molar), strosigth Eacucan. muster
in Case or War.
Although it is Still a question whether
the issue of the Chinese4apanese misun,
derstanding in Corea shall be war or a
compromise, it may be of intereSt to com-
pare the military and naval fighting forces
of the two Oriental empires. A considera-
tion of the myriad population of China
would seem to force the conebeeion that in
a contest with the celestial empire the Jam.
aline would be hopelessly outnumbered.
In the comparative effective atrength of
the armies and navies of China and
japeenhewever, there is no such wide dif'
formica as might be supposed.
It isinmoseible to obtain any very reliable
information about the Chinese army. Om-
itting from the calculation of the so.called
"Braves"—a kind of local militia, capable,
ibis said, of mustering 600,000 men—as
practically worthless in modern warfare,
there remains the active army, in which
great improvements have taken place since
Chinese troops were last opposed to "Euro.
peens. The actiVe force comprises three
armies—the army of Mancharia, the army of
the Centre and the army of Turkestan. The
latter, which is employ ed to keep order in the
extreme western provinces of the empire,
could not probably be moved eastward in
the event of a war with Japan. The army of
Manchuria has been estimated to number
70,000 men, many of whom are armed with
Mauser rifles, and this contingent is liber-
ally supplied with Krupp guns, The army
of the Centre, having its headquarters at
lialgam (an important town northwest of
Peking), is, perhaps the most effective
force at the command of the Son of Heaven.
It numbers 50,000 men of the hardy race
of northern Chine., and could be doubled in
time of war. All these troops are well
armed with Remington rifles.
The imperial Japanese army is organized
on the European system of universal con,
scription and follows the German model
more closely than any other. It consists
of the active army, the reserve, the "land-
wehr" and the "land-sturm"—the latter in-
cluding all the males capable of bearing
arms. The total strength of the army on
a peace footing is about 70,000 men, with
470 field and mountain guns. The reserve
and the "landwehr" each have a strength
of nearly 100,000 men. All the firearms,
ordinance and ammunition used in the im-
perial Japanese army are manufactured at
the national arsenals at Tokyo and Osaka,
and the Murata rifle, with which the Jap-
anese troops are now armed,is a native Jap-
anese inventidn.
The naval strength of China consists of
five battleships, one of the first, one of the
second and three of the third class; nine
harbor defenee vessels; nine second -Mass
cruisers; twelve cruisers of the third.olitss
ancl thirty-five gunboats, besides thirty.
nine torpedo vessels. The Japanese fleet
comprises five armored cruisers, nine sec-
ond-class cruisers and twenty-two vessels
whthh may be ranked as cruisers of the
third class. The torpedo flotilla, of Japan
includes one first-class boat and forty of
the 'second class. The Chinese fleet, seems
to be slightly the more formidable of the
two, but the Japanese ships are swifter,and
this considetation, together with the natur-
al aptitude of their crews, may compensate
forthelackof heavy battleships in the
navy of Japan.
It is evident from this resume that, while
we may not expect a Japanese-Ohinese
campaign to be conducted with the celerity
and precision which we have become ac.
cbstomed to in modern European armies,
the prospective war in Corea promises to
be anything but the mere sound and fury
of tin trumpets and firecrackers.
