EXHIBITION STABLE SEURNED.
Gone New Buildings At Toronto Burned.
—Firebugs at 1Vork.
A despatch from Toronto says:—At
a few minutes to 2 o'clock on Monday
morning flames were seen shooting
from the north stables in the Exhibi-
tion Park. The bright reflection caused
an alarm to be turned in from Queen
and Claremont streets, nearly a mile
away, and this was followed by one
from Bing and Gwynne avenue, and in
a few minutes later a general alarm
rang in' from the Exhibition grounds.
This caused some delay, and when the
reels arrived the northern stable was
blazing furiously, and the one south
of it was igniting. The steamer from
Dundas street was got into ;commis-
sion, and did good service, but the third
and then' the fourth building caught,
until it looked as if the entire row of
it dozen no wand solidly -built struc-
tures was doomed. The men worked
with a will, however, and stayed the
flames at this point, but the four build-
ings were ;gutted with their contents,
which latter, however, did not amount
to much.
The stables destroyed were among
the newest of the Exhibition buildings,
having only been completed in time fur.
last fait's show. They wore well built
of lumber and cost about 5700 a piece,
The total loss will therefore be about
93,0110, covered by insurance.
Tee cause' of the fire cannot be de-
finitely; stated, but there can be little
do,a t it was of incendiary origin, as
there had been no fire around the place
for mouths.
At 3 o'clock all danger of this fire
emending was over, but the sections of
the brigade played on the smouldering
embers till icing after daylight.
Notwithstanding the untimely Hour,
hundreds harried to the (scene, the
many alarms and bright reflettion
creating the impression that the con-
flagration was worse than it fortunately
turned out to be.

AN IMPENDING STRUGGLE.
Sir Charles Mike Predicts a European War
—Etlglitntt A'ill Ue Areae la the Fight.
A letter from Mr. Gladstone was pub-
lished in London the Other day de-
nouncing the wholesale increase of ex-
penditures on armaments as wild, want-
on, and perilous, but it fails to evoke
any sympathy. The public is more
moved o ed bya serious article from
the
pen of Sir Charles Diike, just publish-
ed, predicting that Great Britain, sin-
gle -banded, is destined to engage in
a great struggle against Germany,
Russia, and France combined. The
fight, he claims, may come at any
time within a decade, ostensibly about
Egypt, but, really, on account of
jealousy of Great Britian's colonial
expansion. Therefore, Sir Charles
urges Great Britain to hold herself
free from any alliances which might
only prove illusive, and devote herself
to the development of her defences.
The Spectator propounds the ques-
tion as to what role America will play
in such a struggle affecting her colon-
ial interests.
The discussion regarding England's
"splendid solation" is again to the
fore. During the past week a well-
known military strategist, lecturing
before the chief military institution,
drew an alarming picture of London's
defenceless condition. If, he declared,
the Channel fleet were defeated, or
lured away to distant fighting, Eng-
land would be left without her
breastplate, and an invader could easi-
ly reach the Empire's heart. His idea
was that London should be fortified
like Strasburg or Metz, and if the
War Office should endorse the sound-
ness of .his arguments, and ask the
Government to provide the necessary
money, the request, in all probability,
would bo granted.
As it matter of fact, large sums are
being expended at this moment in
builuing detached forts around Lon-
don and strengthening the fortifica-
tions of the Mersey, Clyde, and Tyne.
The money appears in the estimates
under is general head, and few Eng-
lishmen have an adequate idea how
much work is being done in this direc-
tion,
Renewed attention is also being
given by responsible military experts
to the defences of Halifax and Van-
couver, and possibly other points in
the Western hemisphere; and there is
reason to believe that a small com-
mittee, installed et the \Var Office
and working in concert with the A.0-
teiralty, hes been charged to discover
what modifications aro necessary and
desirable n the defences of Canada,
the West Indies, etc., in view of the
fact that in a few yearn the Unit-
ed
nited States will become a great naval
itower. Presumably, the committee's
nstructions do not end with defensive
schemes, but it is impossible to say
more than to announce the fact that
the committee exists, and is at work.

HOW SERPENTS SLEEP.
One of the most curious facts with
regard to snakes is that their eyes are
never closed.: Sleeping or waking,
alive or dead they are always wide-
eyed„ If we take a dead snake and ex-
amine it closely WO shall soon find the
reason—there are no eyelids. .Ciao eye
is protected only by a strong scale
which forms a part of the epidermal
envelope, and is cast off in a piece

s eye plate is as flea and
transparent as glass, andallows the
most perfect vision, while at the same
time (as any close observer of the hab-
its of the snake can easily discover) it
is so hard and tough as perfectly to
protect the delicate organ within from
the thorns and twigs among which, in
flight from enemies, or in pursuit of
prey. the reptile to often hurriedly
glides.

EARLY USE OR CANNON.
Cannon formed part of the armament
of ships as early as 1338. In 1350, can-
non were used in a sea fight between
the Moors of Tunis and of Seville. In
1389, Peter, Ring of Aragon, had a
bombard on board bis ship, with which
ha dismantled a vessel belonging to his
enemy, the King of Castile. In 1372 the
French vessels were armed with can-
non, at the sea fight of La Rochelle.
The first general naval action in which
cannon were used on both sides on all
the ships engaged occurred on the
10th of August, 1512, off Brest, be-
tween and English fleet under Sir
Edward Howard,and a French fleet.
Early in the batle the Regent (Cap-
tain Sir William Knivett), a ship of
2 000 tons,h1
in 1 d
s e out the Cordell
ger,
the largest ship in Ilia French Fleet. A
desperate action ensued, and ended in
a terrible catastrophe, the Cordeller
taking Fire, blowing up, and causing a
similar fate to her opponent. On board
the Regent 700 men, and on board the
Cordelier 900 men, perisbed. The
French fleet made their escape into
Brest.
THE CONQUERING HEROES,
Kidney Disease, Rheumatism and
Stomach Trouble Conquered by
the Three great South Ameri-
can Remedies.
Prompt Relief for Every Sufferer.
Safety to the sufferer from kidney
disease is in driving the poison from
the system. Pills and powders, whilst
they give apparent relief, and Ilius de-
ceive the patient, do not eradicate the
disease. The hard, sand -like particles
that gather in the blood mutt be dis-
solved if the system is to be cleared
of the poison, and it is only a remedy
like South American Kidney Cure that
will do this. Mr. Michael laid/Julien, a
well-known resident of Chesley, Ont.,
was n victim of kidney disease, so sev-
ers et times that he could not lie down,
or remain in any one position for a
length of time. Where other medi-
cines accomplished nothing, he secured
immediate relief from South American
Kidney Cure. The soreness and wear-
iness, after using the medicine soon left
him, and to -day there is not a sign of
the trouble in his system,
There is no question of the magical
ch'araoter of the South American 11beu-
matio Cure. This remedy will drive
the worst forms of rheumatism from
the system. Mr. Robert E. Gibson, of
Pembroke, Ont., suffered untold mis-
ery. Hooters blistered him, and ap-
plied every known remedy, but did no
good. "The first dose of South Ameri-
can RJioumatio Cure," says Mr. Gib-
son, gave me instant relief, and half
a bottle cured,"

two great deliberative and legislative
bodies of the British empire, can not

with its beautiful river front, was or-
