WANTS BAPTISM OF Irma.
The Associated PreSs at St. Peters-
burg ieerne from the highest source
that the Emperor is exceedingly one
Nimes to go to the front. To his
intimates recently he has spoken
mural on the subject, but he realizes
that conditions of state demand his
preoace at home. Nevertheless it
is new not tonsidered impossible
that he will follow the example of
all the Romanoff dynasty during the
past century, mad -undergo his bap-
tism of fire. To hght with the
army is one of the traditions of his
house. Alexander I. entered Paris
with the allies after the battle of
Waterloo. Nicholas died in a
common, soldier's hovel in the Cri-
mea. and Alexander IT., with the
beir-appareet, were at the front dur-
ing the Turkish war
Perhaps en additional reason why -
Emperor Nicholas desires to ineel
the enemy is that he cerries on leis
body the mark of a wound inflicted
by a fanatical Japanese policeman
when he was attacked in a theatre
at Otsu during his visit to Japan in
1891, only being saved from death
by the noble action of his cousin,
Prince Oeorge of °teem Should he
finally conclude to go. his Majesty
W612121 riot assume active command
of the troops, but would have an Im-
perial headquarters, taking with
him 011 the members of hie military
cabinet. Being on the spot, the
Emperor would more easily advise
Gen. Kuropatkin in the event, of any
question of great military moment
which he migeit doeire to submit to
his :Majesty. lea, of course. the
chief advantage would be the stimu-
lus which the personal presence of
the sovereign would have on the of-
ficers and men.

Had to be P.umigated,
A Philadelphia despatch says: The
Italian bark Anita Aleaoth arrived in
port, Monday with a corgo of hones,
'When the batches were lifted, and
preparation made to :unload the cargo
the sailors discovered that a horde of
tarantulas and centipedes were pre-
pared to give battle. The sailors
armed themselv •s tent I t
bones, but the light was against too
heavY odds- The foe was too /miner -
ens. As fest as one tarantula was
a.nother took its place. In the
battle not a few of the seamen were
nipped in the legs, tool were saved
from serious bites by the sea boots
they wore. Those sailors who were ;
in the hold of the bark soon became
exhausted in dealing death, and oth-
ers of the crew took then. places. But
they could ncit get rid of their tena-
(Sous foes. It was determined to
'kill the tarantulas and centipedes by
fumigating the hold. This was ac-
cordingly demi with success.

A. clesinatch from Toronto says:
Among the most important mineral
resources of Onta.rio is the Sudbury
nickel field, and under tlie 'direction
of Iron, Ali% Davis, Commissioner of
Crown Lands, an examination of the
nickel area. has been going on for
two years past. Prof. A. P. Cole-
man, of the 'Bureau of Alines, has had
charge or the work:, and expects to
comilleta it during the preSent sea-
son. The bureau will then publish' a
report and map of the entire area,
probably in the form of a monograph.
Afr. N, T. Culbert, of the School of
I'ractieal Science, will again accom-
pany 1)1., Colenum in the field, along
with Mr. E. Se Moore, a fourth year
student of .Toronto University.
Last, year the northern. nickel range
was studied, and this year the re-
mainder of the southern range. will
be traversed, beginning at the west-
ern..extrennty. It is expected these
investigations will throw much light
on many problems connected with the
geology end exploitation of the nick-
el deposits.

WE WILL EXHIBIT.
Canada to Take Part in Belgium
and Englfsh Pairs.
A 'despatch. from Ottawa says: The
'Dominion Covernmeet will take part
in an international exhibition, open-
ing in. Liege, Belgium., next May.
Not only is our export trade with
Belgium growing, but we receive a
most desirable class of immigrants
from that country-. It is possible
that Canada will also have a dis-
play of food prodnets, such as but-
ter, cheese, bacoa, limns, etc., at an
exhibition to be held in London next
fall, under the auspices of variotes
trades associations.

cockerel, and their rations increased
so as to bring them into laying at
the time when their eggs are requir-
ed for hatching. Such a process of
selection would soon producc a par -
Ocularly fine strain of winter layers.
The export trade carries off the sur-
plus eggs produced during the SUID,
mer mouths when prices aro low, but
has little or no effect on the price of
new -laid eggs ie. winter. F.norts to
increase our export trade in eggs
need not, therefore, cdarm consumers
in cities or towns. Eggs that are
placed in cold storage from April
till July are shipped to Great Bri-
tain for the September and Octobe;
trade; those that go into cold stor-
age in the fall are exported during
the winter months. All these arc
sold in Britain as' "Canadian .fresh
eggs.
BEATING THE STATES,
Canada May Get More Emigrants
From England.
'A despatch from London says :---
For the first time on record. the ;end-
gvation from the United Kingdom to
Cfmada bids fair this year to ex-
ceed that .to the United States. Last
year, says W. T. R. Preston, the
CaDadiany Commissioner of Fertigra-
tion 11e1e, 57,000 persons emigrated
from this country, to Canada, while
to the United States there went
67,000.
While Uncle Sam does nothing: to
attract emigrants from this country,
Canada is hustling to get them, and
meeting with such success that other
colonies of the Empire are bestirring
themselves to copy her methods.
"As regards 'quality, the emigrants
now going to Canada average far
higher than those.who seek their for-
tunes in the 'United States," says
Mr. Preston. ``More than 52 per
cent, of the arrivals in Canada last
year were agriculturists, whereas of
those who went to America., only 14
per cent. belonged to that class.--
