CURRENT TOPICS.
Mr. Jacob, of Philadelphia, is in
Ottawa in the interests of 'fifty-five
families, natives of Bessaral;ia, on
whose behalf he is about to pro-
ceed to the North-west to locate
farms. These people are described
as industrial farmers, and each
family has from one thousand to fif-
teen hundred dollars, sutfieietli
capital to give them, a splendid start
in the great add fertile West. They
are at present living near Phila
delphia, but have been attracted by
the accounts that have reached them
of the Canadian North-west.
Hate is an instructive agricultur-
al item from "the markets of sixty
millions":—A farmer drove into
Edgefield, C. S., and tried to sell
cabbage at two heads for five cents
to the colored people, but iu vain,
for he was mot on all aides with the
cry :—"Boss we ain't got no meat to
boil down wid do cabbage." After
receiving that excuse a dozen times
the farmer stopped at a grocer's,
bought a email quantity of beacon,
cut it into slices put a piece on each
cabbage head, and offered a head
with a slice of bacon for five cents.
Then be sold all his cabbages and
drove out of town amid the blessings
of the community.
The reports from all parts of Can-
ada show that we shall have another
fine harvest this year, and that the
pessimists will have a hard time of
it. The proceeds of last year's crop
wont t.i pay off old debts, but this
year's business will enable the farm-
ers to put *tome money in circula-
tion. Our exports during the year
ending last 31st of June showed an
inatease of fifteen millions over the
preceding year, and the exports of
domestic produce for the month of
July were valued at $11;835,048,
while the imports entered for con•
sumptiou were valued at only
$9,545,262, showing a large balance
in favor of the country. Canada is
all right ; have faith in her.
THE SA ULT TOLLS.
. Some misunderstanding appears
to 'exist as to the amount of the
tolls which will be charged to Sid
payable by Canadian vesself passing
the Sault Ste Marie canal. In
1891 the Canadian vessels which
passed that canal up and down car-
ried 314,480 tons of freight. At 20
cents a ton this would amount to
$62,896. If we assume that the
tariff this year will be at the same
rate, and that three -sevenths of the
season are yet to come, the amount
of the tolls charged this year will
be about $27,000. This is the sum
the Dominion government will be
called upon to refund.
Last year 54,000 tons of grain
were carried in United States vessels
through the Welland carnal to
Kingston. How much of that came
from Lake Superior peas we do
not know. As the Dominion gov-
ernment will not refund the tolls
paid at the Sault by United States
vessels, it is manifest that all grain
from Lake Superior intended for
the St. Lawrence route must be car-

THE REAL VIOLATORS.
A CLEAR STATEMENT OF HOW THE
TREARTY OF WASHINGTON HAS
BEEN VIOLATED.
Montreal Witness.
The only part of Mr. Foster's
reply we take exception to ie that
in which he charges that indiscrim•
sting, against American routes on
her canals Canada violates the
Washington treaty. It cannot be
too aften insisted upon that Canada
does nothing of the kind. The
Washington treaty is between the
Government of Great Britain and
tho Government of the United
States, and Canada had no more or
less do do with it than any one of
the States of the Union separately,
such as New York, The British
Government couldnot agree to give
the use of Canada's canals to United
States citizens any moae than could
the United States agree to give the
state canals to Canada. The
United States 'Government did
agree, however, to advise the State
of New York and other states to
allow Canadians citizens the use of
their state canals on the same terms
as American citizens, and the Brit.
ish Government agreed in return to
advise Canada to grant the use of
her canals to the citizens of tho
United Status on the same terms as
Canadians. Canada complied with
the request of Great Britain and
opened her canals to American citi
zea++ by statute, but not as a provis
ion of a treaty. The United Status
Government never recomnlauded
the States to open their eanale to
Canadians and the States never did
so, and they are closed. against
Canactians to this day, thougji
Americans have all along been
using the Canadian canals, The
United States did by treaty bind
thelnselves to open the national
canals which are the property of
the Federal Government to Cana-
dian citikens. on the same terms as
to her own citizens, and in exchange
for this Great Britain gave the use
of the St Lawrence River and
other valuable concessions. But
the American Government, for its
own purposes, compares the privi-
leges granted by treaty, and in
order to compel Canada to grant the
privileges actually conveyed by her
Government by the treaty. The
United States breaks the treaty in.
withdrawing the privileges granted
on the Sault Canal, for which they
receive quid pro quo by the treaty
while Canada disregards the statute
law not a treaty in withholding
privileges the quid pro quo for
which were never given by the
United States. That is the differ•
ence between Canada's position and
the position of the United States
and it is a great one.

pressed air u Peoria makes this subject one
of special interest and importance. Year!,
ago M. Victor Popp of Vienna became im-
pressed with the possibilities of this force,
but his applications received little eneour•
&gement at Vienna. In 1878 'he disptayet
at the Paris Bxposition. His work attractec
attention, and be concluded to establish
himself here. His first plant was very
small, and his first application was to what
is now known far and wide as the pneu-
matic clocks of Paris. It is now over
twelve years since these cloaks were intro.
duced, and there aro to -day fully10,000 of
then, public and private, in the city. They
require little or no attention, they do not
get out of order, and they are not expensive.
Popp's twelve -horse power factory suc-
ceeded so well that ono of 120 -horse power
followed. This was enlarged to 5,000 -horse
power, and last December there was in-
augurated a second manufaetury of coin -
pressed air, which to -day has apparatus for
producing a force of 8,000 -horse power and
which looks forward to the day when it
will give three times that amount.
The new factory is situated in the out-
skirts of Paris on the Seine and is connected
with two railway lines. The buildings aro
of iron and brick and cover a space of about
270 by 170 feet. The machinery hall is, of
course, the point of interest, for here the
air is compressed. For this operation four
compressors, each of 2,000 -horse power, are
employed. They are run by vertical steam
engines of Corliss distribution and triple
expansion. The compressing cylinders are
placed directly above the steam cylinders
in the factory. The air is drawn from the
exterior by the pistons of the two low
pressure cylinders, and is collected in an
intermediate reservoir. From tare it is
drawn by a high pressure cylinder and
driven into the reservoir, from which it
passes into the pipes which distribute it
through the city. The engine House, situ-
ated at the side of machinery hall, is fur-
nished with twenty boilers, arranged in
groups of five. They bear American nines
—Babcock and Wilcox.
The compressed air is conveyed around
the city by means of pipes, the diameter of
which in the case of the new factory is
1.64 feet, of the old a trifle less than a foot.
It is ordinarily said in Paris that all these
pipes are carried through the sewers. A
portion of them are, and the initiated may
easily detect them among the multitude of
wires, small lead pipes, of huge iron con-
duits, of all varieties of conductors which
line the ceilings of these famous Parisian
underground promenades. The greater
part of the pipes are, in fact, laid in the
ground, and the company claims that pipe -
age in the sewers- is neither as simple nor
satisfactory as it is supposed to be. The
reason is evident if one remembera that the
pipes must follow the cuts of the sewers,
must adapt themselves to its accidents and
demands, and must not interfere with any
of the numerous other conduits lodged
there. Placing the pipes underground is
also less costly than putting thein in the
sewers.
The applications of the force are number-
less. Probably the one at present of the
greatest interest to Paris is the production
of electric Light. All that is needful to ob-
tain immediate force to run an electric mo-
tor at any speed is a compressed air attach-
ment. This may be put in a space so small
that it need not be considered and it re-
quires no other manipulation than turning
the stopcock. The space required for a
steam engine, the work and dirt and dan-
ger, are all clone away with.
But the man who introduced compressed
air for running an electric plant can use it
for other purposes. Suppose that he is a
printer, a motor connected with his press
will furnish him power to run night end
day. No engine -room, with its heat, dust,
odors, and perils, annoy Lim. The press-
man can regulate the force to suit his needs.
If the editorial is late there is no exasperat-
ing delay for "firing up." By the tuining
of his hand he has a power which will
throw orf the sheets as fast as the press can
fly. Figaro and Le Petit Journal are two
Parisian newspapers which are printed on
presses run by compressed air.
Another valuable service which it renders
is ventilation. Many factories which use
it as a force utilize it also in keeping the
air of their work -rooms in free circulation,
In the restaurants wine and beer are raised
from the cellar by it, and sometimes even
Flasses filled. In the great wine market of
aris barrels are filled from the cellar
below.
Many elevators have changed front hy-
draulic pressure to compressed air. In this
case the air is cheaper, costing but 2 cen-
times a cubic meter to 32 centimes for
water. Ordinarily, however, 'there is no
gain in the item of expense. Compressed
air costs about the sante as steam.
An application which would be a blessing
in the United Mates is the air telegraph, by
which letters are transmitted about Paris
without the provoking delays of the ordi-
nary mail. Cards are sent for 6 centimes,
sealed letters for 15. In 1889 these tubes
carried nearly 20,000,000 pieces of mail..
The possibilitiesin refrigeration are limit-
less ; especially do the restaurants and"
hotels find out this value. Everywhere
that the compressed air runs an electric
machine refrigerators may be attached with-
out extra expense. This cold air is iblso
used sometimes in summer fol• cooling
rooms, an application which undoubtedly
will be more and more frequent in the fu-
ture.
But it is to the small industries that it
renders a service the most necessary. Paris
is full of craftsmen Who carry on small; in-
dependent trades. 'Their work benches are
sometimes in their living rooms ; at best
their shops are narrow and inconvenient
places. Compressed air offers a multitude
of advantages to them. Its motor is small
and can be put anywhere. The force can
be conveyed to any part of the room by
means of a rubber pipe. They pay for only
the actual force used. It is claimed by
compressed air advocates that the expense
of condnits to small industries has been de-
creased 30 per cent. by the introduction of
the motive power.
You find it applied in most unexpected
places. There is a scissor grinder and knife
sharpener at Paris who occupies a little shop
just big enough to hold himself and his ma-
chine, and were the customer must do his
bargaining from without through the win-
dow, who has a small air motor attached to
his machine. He plies It's trade without
the wearisome treading and with threefold
greater speed.
The sewing machine is run by it with an
ease and speed which add tenfold to the
value of this household divinity. The at-
tachment is very simple. The speed can be
regulats•d perfr'c•tly. Both hands are free to
guide tt:e work. Parisian tailors use this

Some Mg Snakes..
Pythons are abundant in the Philippines,
the species being identical with that found
in Borneo. During our stay of eighteeu
months in these islands we have heard many
accounts of the enormous size attained by
these snakes, and recently have obtained
three fine specimens. The smallest of these
measured nrneteeft feet eleven and one half
inches in length, and eighteen inches in
greatest circumference. It had evidently
been without food for some time and was in
an emaciated condition, but was still a
heavy load for two men. The next in size
measured 22 feet 6 inches in length and 22
inches in greatest circumference. The head
was six inches wide at the angle of the jaws,
and the mouth opened thirteen inches with.
out any of the stretching of the skin or dis-
placement of the bones of which it is• capa-
ble. Tlie third specimen measured 22 feet
8 inches in length and 22 inches:in greatest
circumference. The gape was the same as
the second specimen. In each case the
atothach was entirely empty, and one fam-
iliar with such animals can easily form ail
idea of the enormous increase size that
ini
iat
would take place if gorged with food.
Above the length of nineteen or twenty
feet these snakes increase greatly in bulk
for every foot in length, so that a snake
nineteen fent long looks small beside one
twenty-two feet long. It is difficult to
estimate the weight of an animal of this
kind, and we have no means of determining
it accurately. A quarter of it was a heavy
lift for a strong man, and it was all that
two men could do to drag it a few feet
along the ground, one man being unable to
do so; The second specimen displayed its
enormous strength by snapping in two by a
steady pull one of its fastenings—a rattan
between one half and three-quarters of an
inch in diameter) This snake being securely
fastened by rattans around the neck, two
men and a boy, who attempted to hold it by
the tail were powerless to do so.
From the log in which the third speci.
men was caught eighty-nine eggs were
taken. They were white and nearly round,
about the size of an ordinary baseball,
and where covered with a soft, leathery
shell or skin. . They adhered to each other,
forming a large mass, which had to be
literary torn apart to separate them. So
far as observed all ware fertile, each speci-
men examined containing a living embryo
about four inches in length. When dis•
covei`ed the snake was coiled upon the eggs,
apparently incubating. Upon being remov.
, ed „from the log the eggs dried up rapidly.
As the temperature in the log was noticea•
bly above that of the atmosphere it is prob.
able that the close coils of the snake pre-
vented evaporation.
Asnake of this size could 'bring down a
medium-sized buffalo, and could crush out
the life of tt man in the fraction of a min-
ute, and we have no hesitation in expres-
sing the opinion that he would swallow
him, We know of the case of a snake of
about that size swallowing a full-grown
buck with antlers, a male deer of that size
being larger around the belly than is a man
around the shoulders.
If the stories told here about large
snakes can be believed, the specimens de-
scribed aro small indeed in comparison witli
really large snakes, but we find that such
snakes decrease greatly in size when
brought in contact with the deadly foot -
rule. An intelligent half-caste recently
morel us that his brother-in-law had killed,
measured and skinned a snake forty-four
feet long. Wo did not wish to question
the nun's veracity, but heartily syurpatlliz-
ed with the remark of a Spanish gentleman
that forty-four were a great many feet,—

Gloomy Picture of the Russian Outlook.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of tho
Loudon Daily Telegraph, in 8 letter defend-
ing previous statements in his correspond-
ence, draws a most gloomy picture of the
ontloulc in Russia, which lie declares to he
((((1011 1.0180 than it was at this time in 1891.
1fe says that last year there was no mention
of failure of crops till June, and at the
worst period only seventeen provinces were
officially declared to be suffering from
famine, whereas in May this year eleven
provinces were declared to have . either
totally bad or very deficient prospects, in-
cluding several of the same provinces
which had suffered already, and which
are consequently in a most serious position.
The gavernment stores, he remarks,
were exhausted long ago, and the grain in
the hands of speculators will be held at al-
most prohibitory prices. There must else
bo taken into account the ravages of the
sussliks (whistling rats) and locusts, but the
most threatening feature of all is to be
found in the financial and physical condition
of the agricultural classes, which are now
indebted to an extent equivalent to a mort-
gage on themselves and their labor for at
least five, if not ten, years to come, A good
harvest in some provinces will do little to
help or encourage the population in those
districts where it is failing for a second
time, and, judging from present figures, the
harvest of the present year will be only an
average one. In conclusion he directs at-
tention especially to the fact that the gov-
erninent last year spent nearly three hun-
dred millions, and will be compelled this
year to continue spending in a dozen pro.
vinces or so at least, with the additional
disadvantage of having to deal with a peo-
ple utterly demoralized and poverty-
stricken.
