authority that a scheme of coast de -
is now being prepared by a naval
expert for submission to the Ottawa
Government which involves the pur-
:hese or construction of several swift
zrmed cruesers which will have bead-
ruarters at Halifax, their speed. to be
such that a*day's run will carry them
from this point to any point in the Bay
of Fundy or Cape Breton and enable
them to outrun foreign clipper steamers
plying to the Canadian ports.

CHANCE FOREGO. MARKET.
POSSIBILITIES OF A TRADE IN EGGS
WITH BRITAIN'.
An Interview With. eatglande Greatest
Egg BuYer-drise Characteristics or Can.,
adieu. Eggs-Guropeau Countries tile
Geier compethers-natie may Be
Est:oat-shed.
At a time edema the farmers of Can-
ada are obliged to specialize produc-
tion and direct their energies into those
channels of industry which are likely
to yield the,na the greatest return, the
visit of Mr. Thomas Robinson u tVesa
Hartlepool, Eng, the head a..the. most
extensive egg-inaporting house in
Great Britain, if not in the world, is
of particular interest. Mr. Robinson.%
mission is to investigate the possibil-
ities of trade in eggs between the Do-
minion and Great Britain. Hitherto
the operations of this firm. have been
confined to European countries,whence
it. has drawn its eatire supply, but
now that he has turned his attention
to Canada this country raay expect. if
his inquiry proves satisfactory, which
is altogether probable, to share in the
trade. In 1891 the United Kingdom. im-
ported front foreign cotunries and the
British colonies 118,769,680 dozen of
eggsof whieb Ca.nada, supplied 2,510,040
dozen, but the trade has not beensys-
tematized, and there appears to be no
good reason why it should not be enor-
mously superseded.
A HUGE BUSINESS.
The egg business established by Ur.
Robinson 32 years ago, and now cur-
ried on by himself and. three sons un-
der the firm name of Thoneas Robin-
son, Sous .1to Co., is the largest of the
kind in Great Britain. It coneisted for
nearly twenty years of the importation
and sale of fresh eggs only,but during
the dast twelve yeaite &large additional
coramerce has leen built up in Pre-
served eggs. Eggs for preserving are
imported. daring the spring months
when prices are low and quality high.
After being allowed to lie for several
mouths in tanks they are taken out,
dried, packed and delivered to buyers,
throughout the kingdom to supply the
autumn and winter demand. The total
number of picked eggs dealt with an-
nually is 26,000,000.
CONTROLLING Tral TRA.DE.
The egg business of Messrs. Robin-
son has been extended from time to
time until the firrn has arrived at the
unique position of having in its own
hands the control of the entire circle of
operations involved in the conducting.
of the business. Every egg imported
into Great Britain is collected and
packed in the different countries whieh
supply ibens. by the firm's own em-
ployees. The total annual imports, ex -
elusive of pickled eggs, is not less than
150,000,000 eggs. theee supplies are
drawn from Austria. Germany, Uung-
y, Bulgaria, Russia, an1 Foland, in
all of which countries the firm hasits
own Mallets. in addition to its trade
ha, the United Kingdoxxt the firrn is cul-
tivating a continental outlet fox. fresh
eggs, which are, being sold in tbe
Rhine provinces, Switzerland, Holland,
Bavaria and Paris.
MR. 1i013INSON INTERVIEWED.
Speaking to a Globe reporter at the
Queen's botel, Toronto, Inc other day,
jr. Robinson said that he had
come to Canada armed with a
letter of introduction to the
general °Metals for the High
Commis.sionera office, which hadleen
granted, at the request of Ald,Thos. F.
Vith, J.P., senior Vice -Chairman of
the Aesociated Chambere of Commerce
of England. From New York he went to
Montreal and thence to Ottatneetere
he had the pleasure of vieiting the Do-
minion Experimental Farm. He will
make a trip to Guelph to look over the
Model Farm at that. place. "Having
noticed during the last two or three
years," he said, "that Canada, was
sending some eggs to England, 1 have
come over to study the question as to
wbether it would- be worth while to
give our attention to the trade here.
How far Canadian eggs will suit our
business is a question that I will be
unable to answer until I have com-
pleted my investigation. My impres-
sion is that up te the present the
trade in eggs between Canada and
Great 13riteen has been carried on
somewhat indiscriminately, and not
upon any system of classification. In
conducting our European trade we
have our own stations andmen abroad
and we are in a position Lo control op-
erations.
"As soon as - the vessels leave the
Baltic ports for West Hartlepool we get
the specificationsof their caegoes,and
we know exactly what is -coming. Can-
ada has not had anything of that kited
so far; there were only a few shippers
sending eggs to England. Hitherto!
the eggs from Canada that I have seen
have some fault, as, for example the
white and the yelk running together.
How this is caused I am unable to
say, bat it is an important drawbaolz
in the .trade. If you have a few de-
fective eggs it decreases the value of
the whole sample. I must study the
character of the egg and the system of
production here. But, on the whole,
eggs from Canada are good, and I do
not see why there should be any diffi-
atilty in laying them .clown upon the
English market. My visit is quite ex-
perimental. 1 am not in aposition as
yet to say whether we shall engage
in operations here or not."
A.sked as to the sentimental side of
the question, Mr. Robinson said: "It
would be a pleasan tthing for us, if
we could find. it workable, to establish
a business connection with Canada.
But this country cannot expect to, take
the business away from Russia. The
trade wi
ith Russia s likely to be main-
tained. We have an opening for
Canadian eggs if we can get them in
as good order. They are, while defec-
tive in some particulars, of a high
quality. In the case of eggs your
competition is not with the United
States, but with the European court -
!tries."'
Mr. Robinson is one of the best-
known and most' highly respected men
in his districawhere municipal honors
have been conferred upon hira. In
1893 he was Mayor of Hartlepool, and,
his progressive though prudent admin.-,
istrzetion gave general satisfaction.

FACTOR OF SAFETY IN BICYCLES.
The manufatture of the modern bi-
cycle presents one of the most complex
; and delicate preblems known to me -
armies. The reason is tOat what
scientists term. the "factor of safety"
• is lower in the bieyete than in almost
any other mechanical product. In high
pressure guns, for instance, the factor
of safety is even as great as twenty-
; that is, guns are made twenty times as
• strong as is theoretically necessary for
the strain they are to bear. ln ordi-
, nary guns the factor of sefety.is twelve,
in butlers it is about six, in badges usu-
ally five, and in almost every other
form of =chine it is at least four. Snell
wide margins of extra stiength are
' deemed as an offset to errors in theore-
tical eomputations or defect in material
construction. With the modern light
construetion in bicecles it is reduced
to a very small margiu, beingas low
in instances as 1.25. Such being the
case, it can be anderstood readily why
the makers of standard high-grade ma-
chines maintain a rigid. system of in-
spection. In fact, every well-appoint-
ed bicycle factory has a thoroughly
equipped testing department„ in order
that there may tem miscaleulations or
guesswork in the material entering
the construction of their wheels.
LIGHTNING TAILORING.
The competition in cheap clothing has
had the effeot of so lowering wages that
the operators in some departments of
tailoring find it hard to make a living.
But tbe "sweating shop" now has a
rival in the electric motor, and many
tailoring houses find that the more use
they can make of electricity in the
turning out of their goods the better
they are able to undersell their com-
petitors. One manufacturer has invent-
ed an electrical measure for cutting
out cloth, which is said to be capable of
cutting over 200 suits a day. The aver-
age work for a man is about twenty-
five snits a day. He can out only four
thicknesses of cloth; the machine eas-
ily cuts through eight. It is lightly
constructed, stands 1.4 inches high and
weighs 30 pounds. The base is of
bronze, the armature bebag supported
by a forged steel standard. The cut-
ting knife is proteeted by a shield. It
is 4 inches in diameter, and revolves
with the rapidity of a buzz saw. The
machine oils, sharpens and lights it-
self a,utomatically. It develops one-
eighth horse -power, and. works on a
110 -volt circuit.

North and South, in 1861-5:
One night, when the sentinels had
beeu warned to be unusually alert, as
• tae enemy Were in force only a' mile
away, the soldier on post No. 4, which
was directly in front of a small clear -
jug in the forest, suddenly called ont
for the corporanef the guard. The order
was to avoid fixing if possible, as the
men bebind the breastworks were worn

moon, and she threw sada a light down
into the clearing that the smallest ob-
jeet could be distinguished by the
sentinel. As he looked,and listened a
Confederate in the uniform of a cap -
tele, stepped into the clearing in full
view. The sentinel lifted. his musket
and opened. his live to cry out., believ-
ing that tbe enemy was moving down

The great diFeoverer of this medicine
was possessed of the knowledge that the
seat of all disease is the nerve centres,
situated at the base of the brain. In
this belief he had the best scientists
and medical men of the world
occupying exactly the same pre-
mises. Ir deed the ordinary lay-
man recogniied this principle
long ago. Everyone knows that

Nervine passes by the organs, and Ira -
mediately applies its curative powers
to the nerve centres, from which the
organs of the body receive their supply
of nerve fluid. The nerve centres

which has shown the outward evidience
only of derangement is healed. Indi-

origin to a derangement of the nerve

CHANCE FOREGO. MARKET.
POSSIBILITIES OF A TRADE IN EGGS
WITH BRITAIN'.
An Interview With. eatglande Greatest
Egg BuYer-drise Characteristics or Can.,
adieu. Eggs-Guropeau Countries tile
Geier compethers-natie may Be
Est:oat-shed.
At a time edema the farmers of Can-
ada are obliged to specialize produc-
tion and direct their energies into those
channels of industry which are likely
to yield the,na the greatest return, the
visit of Mr. Thomas Robinson u tVesa
Hartlepool, Eng, the head a..the. most
extensive egg-inaporting house in
Great Britain, if not in the world, is
of particular interest. Mr. Robinson.%
mission is to investigate the possibil-
ities of trade in eggs between the Do-
minion and Great Britain. Hitherto
the operations of this firm. have been
confined to European countries,whence
it. has drawn its eatire supply, but
now that he has turned his attention
to Canada this country raay expect. if
his inquiry proves satisfactory, which
is altogether probable, to share in the
trade. In 1891 the United Kingdom. im-
ported front foreign cotunries and the
British colonies 118,769,680 dozen of
eggsof whieb Ca.nada, supplied 2,510,040
dozen, but the trade has not beensys-
tematized, and there appears to be no
good reason why it should not be enor-
mously superseded.
A HUGE BUSINESS.
The egg business established by Ur.
Robinson 32 years ago, and now cur-
ried on by himself and. three sons un-
der the firm name of Thoneas Robin-
son, Sous .1to Co., is the largest of the
kind in Great Britain. It coneisted for
nearly twenty years of the importation
and sale of fresh eggs only,but during
the dast twelve yeaite &large additional
coramerce has leen built up in Pre-
served eggs. Eggs for preserving are
imported. daring the spring months
when prices are low and quality high.
After being allowed to lie for several
mouths in tanks they are taken out,
dried, packed and delivered to buyers,
throughout the kingdom to supply the
autumn and winter demand. The total
number of picked eggs dealt with an-
nually is 26,000,000.
CONTROLLING Tral TRA.DE.
The egg business of Messrs. Robin-
son has been extended from time to
time until the firrn has arrived at the
unique position of having in its own
hands the control of the entire circle of
operations involved in the conducting.
of the business. Every egg imported
into Great Britain is collected and
packed in the different countries whieh
supply ibens. by the firm's own em-
ployees. The total annual imports, ex -
elusive of pickled eggs, is not less than
150,000,000 eggs. theee supplies are
drawn from Austria. Germany, Uung-
y, Bulgaria, Russia, an1 Foland, in
all of which countries the firm hasits
own Mallets. in addition to its trade
ha, the United Kingdoxxt the firrn is cul-
tivating a continental outlet fox. fresh
eggs, which are, being sold in tbe
Rhine provinces, Switzerland, Holland,
Bavaria and Paris.
MR. 1i013INSON INTERVIEWED.
Speaking to a Globe reporter at the
Queen's botel, Toronto, Inc other day,
jr. Robinson said that he had
come to Canada armed with a
letter of introduction to the
general °Metals for the High
Commis.sionera office, which hadleen
granted, at the request of Ald,Thos. F.
Vith, J.P., senior Vice -Chairman of
the Aesociated Chambere of Commerce
of England. From New York he went to
Montreal and thence to Ottatneetere
he had the pleasure of vieiting the Do-
minion Experimental Farm. He will
make a trip to Guelph to look over the
Model Farm at that. place. "Having
noticed during the last two or three
years," he said, "that Canada, was
sending some eggs to England, 1 have
come over to study the question as to
wbether it would- be worth while to
give our attention to the trade here.
How far Canadian eggs will suit our
business is a question that I will be
unable to answer until I have com-
pleted my investigation. My impres-
sion is that up te the present the
trade in eggs between Canada and
Great 13riteen has been carried on
somewhat indiscriminately, and not
upon any system of classification. In
conducting our European trade we
have our own stations andmen abroad
and we are in a position Lo control op-
erations.
"As soon as - the vessels leave the
Baltic ports for West Hartlepool we get
the specificationsof their caegoes,and
we know exactly what is -coming. Can-
ada has not had anything of that kited
so far; there were only a few shippers
sending eggs to England. Hitherto!
the eggs from Canada that I have seen
have some fault, as, for example the
white and the yelk running together.
How this is caused I am unable to
say, bat it is an important drawbaolz
in the .trade. If you have a few de-
fective eggs it decreases the value of
the whole sample. I must study the
character of the egg and the system of
production here. But, on the whole,
eggs from Canada are good, and I do
not see why there should be any diffi-
atilty in laying them .clown upon the
English market. My visit is quite ex-
perimental. 1 am not in aposition as
yet to say whether we shall engage
in operations here or not."
A.sked as to the sentimental side of
the question, Mr. Robinson said: "It
would be a pleasan tthing for us, if
we could find. it workable, to establish
a business connection with Canada.
But this country cannot expect to, take
the business away from Russia. The
trade wi
ith Russia s likely to be main-
tained. We have an opening for
Canadian eggs if we can get them in
as good order. They are, while defec-
tive in some particulars, of a high
quality. In the case of eggs your
competition is not with the United
States, but with the European court -
!tries."'
Mr. Robinson is one of the best-
known and most' highly respected men
in his districawhere municipal honors
have been conferred upon hira. In
1893 he was Mayor of Hartlepool, and,
his progressive though prudent admin.-,
istrzetion gave general satisfaction.

FACTOR OF SAFETY IN BICYCLES.
The manufatture of the modern bi-
cycle presents one of the most complex
; and delicate preblems known to me -
armies. The reason is tOat what
scientists term. the "factor of safety"
• is lower in the bieyete than in almost
any other mechanical product. In high
pressure guns, for instance, the factor
of safety is even as great as twenty-
; that is, guns are made twenty times as
• strong as is theoretically necessary for
the strain they are to bear. ln ordi-
, nary guns the factor of sefety.is twelve,
in butlers it is about six, in badges usu-
ally five, and in almost every other
form of =chine it is at least four. Snell
wide margins of extra stiength are
' deemed as an offset to errors in theore-
tical eomputations or defect in material
construction. With the modern light
construetion in bicecles it is reduced
to a very small margiu, beingas low
in instances as 1.25. Such being the
case, it can be anderstood readily why
the makers of standard high-grade ma-
chines maintain a rigid. system of in-
spection. In fact, every well-appoint-
ed bicycle factory has a thoroughly
equipped testing department„ in order
that there may tem miscaleulations or
guesswork in the material entering
the construction of their wheels.
LIGHTNING TAILORING.
The competition in cheap clothing has
had the effeot of so lowering wages that
the operators in some departments of
tailoring find it hard to make a living.
But tbe "sweating shop" now has a
rival in the electric motor, and many
tailoring houses find that the more use
they can make of electricity in the
turning out of their goods the better
they are able to undersell their com-
petitors. One manufacturer has invent-
ed an electrical measure for cutting
out cloth, which is said to be capable of
cutting over 200 suits a day. The aver-
age work for a man is about twenty-
five snits a day. He can out only four
thicknesses of cloth; the machine eas-
ily cuts through eight. It is lightly
constructed, stands 1.4 inches high and
weighs 30 pounds. The base is of
bronze, the armature bebag supported
by a forged steel standard. The cut-
ting knife is proteeted by a shield. It
is 4 inches in diameter, and revolves
with the rapidity of a buzz saw. The
machine oils, sharpens and lights it-
self a,utomatically. It develops one-
eighth horse -power, and. works on a
110 -volt circuit.

The great diFeoverer of this medicine
was possessed of the knowledge that the
seat of all disease is the nerve centres,
situated at the base of the brain. In
this belief he had the best scientists
and medical men of the world
occupying exactly the same pre-

man recogniied this principle
long ago. Everyone knows that

Nervine passes by the organs, and Ira -

to the nerve centres, from which the
organs of the body receive their supply

COFFINS MADE OF GLASS NOW. •
Highly Sanitary, They Will eresease
stooies For Centuries.
Glass coffins are now being made. '
Glass tombstones have long been used
in Pittsbarg, Pa., and that city takes
the credit for first Introducing the use
of glass coffins.
The use of glass coffins, among other
advantages, will relieve the fears of
those who dread. being beaded alive.
They obviate the necessity for hasee in
disposing of Lae dead. When closed
they are impenetrable, while the face
and form. of the dead are always visible
to the watchers.
Under ground,glasswill la.st longer
than any material and will preserve
bodies for centuries, It stays the, pro-
cess of decay, fair neither water, air nor
earth can penetrate it. Nothing can
°save .front. it, It is inaestruetible, ex -
cent by iatense heat,
Glass coffins can be made as cheaply
as any other 1iLhi or metallic materiaL
The main part of the glass casket
ie oast ia one piece, one WW1 a hall or
two inches thick. The lid. is oast, with
a tongue on the underside, which fits
into a groove, and after the body has
beett plaoed within the interstices are
closed with water -proof cement, and.
effectually made an -tight. A portion
ef the na. being of dear glass, the face
ot the deed is visible.
Glass coffins are much chea er than
