A despatch hem Montreal says Vie -President Shaughnessy, of the Canadien Pacific Railway Company speaking -on Thursday of the general condition of the Dominion, expressed his conviction that the country, as a whole, was in a most prosperous state, and that development was being pushed forward rapidly. Referring to the fruit industry particularly, Mr.Shaugh- nessy quoted some figures this morning which indicate how alive the people of British Columbia are to the possibili- ties of the fruit trade in the Pecifie Province. For instance, in 1897, the C. P.R. carried 5,700 packages, twhich weighed 75 tone. Last year 55,000epack- ages were carried, which weighed 380 tone, and this is only it beginning. In the near future the development of this industry will assume more marked features. ..FOR THE LOVE OF A WOMAN.

ANTIVIOIAL INDIGO. !Reiman), recnared la 'Mace It Oh the tuarket. A .4.$,PatOh frOm Berlie says tar has yet aeothee celigaelit to record. It threatens to supplant the indigo trees of India. and 3a VA, by supplying an indigo tthemically, identioal with and infinitely purer than that hither- to on the market, As Jong ago as 1882 a German chem- lst, Dr. A. von. Baeyers, discovered sev- eral methods of obtaining indigo blue from dorminio acid and bitter -almond oil, which themselves areaproduct of coal tar, but all were too costly for nonnneroial Other °bent -nits took up the work Where Baeyers had left it, and after years of toil it was aunoenced eighteen months ago that the "Baden Aniline end Soda Works,' at Ludwigshafen, en the Rhine, were in it position to supply indigo obtained by an improvement 01 the process discovered be Dr. Baeyer, and at a low price enough to compete with natural indigo. The raw material for the new pro- duct is naplithalinv,,, a conetituent part oe coal tar, known te the publie as an excellent rex:10y for moths, etc., and excellent remedy against moths, et., arid which, by a series of elaborn.te operations, is oonverted into indigo blue. The factory has gradually in- creaned its producing powers, and hopes soon to be able to export to oth- er indigo-ueing countries. It may be mentioned that Germany already supplies seventy per cent. ot the world's consumption of dye -stuff from coal tar, NEW TORPEDO BOAT. rs Cigar Shaped and rotated at Both Ends -A Marvellous Performance. A despatch from Vancouver, B. C., says :-/e. former British naval officer, Lieut. Innes, has for some time been secretly at work in Australia on a new submarine torpedo boat. A trial of the invention has just taken place before the commander-in-chief, Admir- al Pearson, in Sydney harbour. There were few persons at the trial. An eye- witness of the experiment said: -"The shape of the boat is like that of the torpedo itself. It is cigar -shaped and pointed. at both ends. The 'model was made in seven different engine shops to insure secrecy, The performance of the craft was marvellous. The driving power was electricity, and compressed air was supplied for the occupants. The boat wa,s only fifteen feet tong, but now that itesuccess is assured. a model to hold six men will he built at once. the man in the conning tower can man- ipulate the vessel, or it can be manipu- lated from below. The submarine war machine is befit of brass, and is thick- er on the underside than on top to give it trim. The engines are placed amid- ships. They drive a shaft which turns the stern wheel, In addition to this propeller is another which works at the end. of a vertical shaft directly un- der the centre of the craft, and causes the disappearance and reappearance of the boat.' The eye -witness, who as close to Admiral Pearson, and is sup- posed to voice his opinions, added:- " The submarine invention is the most remarkable of modern times. The model was , not fitted with torpedo tubes, as this was a matter of detail. The trial was to attest the efficacy of the central screw in submerging and raising the vessel. The experiment was eminently successful." FOUR BROTHERS WED SISTERS. Entire Neighbourhood Attends Quadruple Com n I ry Wedd I n g.

The fathers of the brides and bride- -grooms will divide their lands among their daughters and sons so as to give each couple a competency. JAPAN HAS A NEW SCHEME.
