Bruce's arti- cle in the Empire on the political relations between' Britain, France Mingb" `iTante and Germany, says the nearest ap- proach to an open quarrel with Germany was the tariff war with Canada. The Graphic hopes that the slight shadow remaining will be cleared away before the King sets out for Kiel, and trusts that the Canadian Government wi11 soon see its way to respond to the in- vitation to enter into negotiations sent to it by the German Govern- ment three months ago. -°'It would seem," writes J. Novicow in his essay on the Rus- sian People, "as if the Russians had modelled themselves on the climate of their country, which offers the greatest extremes of heat and cold." Very often, in Russia, certain individuals are the victims of an intermittent alcoholism. They remain for months sometimes with- out drinking a drop of liquor. Then comes the period of alcohol- ism, and for a long time they are uninterruptedly tipsy from morn- ing till night. For many Russians, too, this is their method of labor. They pass weeks doing nothing ; and then, all at once, they are ca- pable of working thirty-six consecu- tive hours, and they then get through an enormous amount of work. U TIIEO. HALL, PROPRIETOR. &haxir(' Botts -An invention has recently been shown in Birmingham, Eng- land, for the seamless welding of iron, steel, and other materials by a new process. A flame is form- ed by burning acetylene with oxy- gen, and it is directed in the usual way by means of a blowpipes It is said that the hardest metals may be welded in this way as readily as lead. Notwithstanding the in- tense heat of the flames, the pro- cess does not make necessary the protection of the eyes by dark glasses, for the mixture of oxygen with the acetylene removes the glare and leaves a Small flame of a greenish -blue color. •�• -Readers of the war news will have noticed one or two references to the fact that tinned meats for the Russian troops are prepared by a process which enables the con- tents of each tin to be served hot without a fire. This boon is se- cured by having the ordinary tins filled with food "jacketed" in pa- tent tins. The patent tin contains water, together with a chemical mixture, by means of which the water can be raised to boiling point in ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. All that it is necessary to do when it is desired to heat the Mod is to puneture the top of the patent tin, the chemical mixture being thereby forced into the water 'Mall, Oft beeina to boil, GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. As the chief political question of the day is that in connection with the ownership of the 160 million dollar G. T. P. railway which is likely to be built by the Grand Trunk Railway Company Shortly with the people's money, we give a short account of the manner in which railway matters are managed hi Nero Z(land. There the gene. rel public is not robbed to make millionaires of a few money -grab- bers, and Iion, P. L. Borden is working to place Canada on a simi. lar sound footing. It is earnestly hoped he will succeed. New 'Zealand has a population of some 700,000. Her railways are not only owned by the state, but nearly all were built by the state. The experiment has been a long one, dating back to 1863. The number of utiles of railway in op- eration in 1893 was 1,886. The net profit for the year 1893 was $2,246,900. The wages of the em- ployees average 30 per cent. higher than those paid on the railways of the United States. You can ride thirty miles for 10 cents. Tho an- nual 'profits from the railroads, postal telegraph, telephone and ex- press, are sufficient to pay all the federal taxes. Notwithstanding the great extent of the country and its sparse population, first-class ser- vice is rendered the people. New Zealand has made more progress for equal laws and equal opportunities than any other nation in the world. They have an eight- hour workday with a ball holiday in every week, besides six full holi- days in the year under full pay. There is less poverty and misery (per capita) in Victoria than in any other nation in the world. In fact, there has been so much legis- lation of this nature that there is not a millionaire in New Zealand. '1* CANADIAN SILK. (London Free Preo.) Silk culture is now a Canadian experiment. Andrea Villani has established a colony of his fellow - countrymen at Villaniville, La- belle county, on the slope of the Laurentide mountains. Among other industries is a mulberry plantation. Last year Mr. Villani sowed 50,000 mulberry plants, and a week ago he sowed enough seed to produce a million plants. He expects in a couple of years to establish an industry that will give employment to a couple of thous- and of his fellow -countrymen, be- sides furnishing a new industry to the country. He is in Montreal with an exhibit of Canadian silk, made by Canadian -bred worms. He is taking his exhibit to the St. Louis Exposition. The silk is en- cased in a beautiful worked hard- wood box, bearing on the cover a beaver with the maple leaf, and on the inside the Italian arms and colors. In the case are 156 co- coons, and several thousand yards of silk. He sent samples of his first crop to the Italian Govern- ment silk expert and received a re- port of the analysis. The Italian official says that the Canadian silk is finer, more durable and more consistent than the Chinese or Jap- anese varieties. TWO CENTS A MILE. (Ottawa Journal.) Mr. W. F. Maclean, M.P., has been doing a valuable work for the public in pegging away at a two - cent per mile passenger rate on Canadian railways. Both as a newspaper man and as a member of parliament he has agitated that question among other important ones, and there seems now a chance that the campaign may re- sult in something. Mr. Maclean and others have adduced the following among other considerations :- 1. Railways in Canada have re- ceived $237,000,000 in bonuses from the public treasury. They should be able to give Canadians as cheap a passenger service as similar railways in the United States, which have received pro- portionately a great deal less pub- lic help. But the Canadian roads do not. 2. Railways in Canada should be able to give cheaper fares now than twenty years ago, during which time their revenue has in- creased more than their expendi- ture. But they do not. 3. Railways in Canada should be able to do as well for Canadians as they do for Americans. They do not. Statements are made and not contradicted that Americans are being carried through parts of On- tario at two cents a mile where Canadians sitting beside them pay three cents a mile. 4. Railways in Canada are not likely to lose by a two -cent rate. Cheaper fares would mean more passengers, Mr. Maclean has been doing a plucky work in a parliament whose members until last year were'enjoying free passes from the railways as a matter of railway favor. The new railway act which makes passes a matter of parlia- mentary right, not a railway favor, helps the chances of 1Xr. Maclean's campaign coming to something practical.
