Ebitowria77 —Fifty years ago San Franeiseo was a collection of sand clunes. To -day it bas upward of 400,0(X) inhabitants, and in 1904 its bank clearings were a billiou and a half of dollars, * * • —There were in all $2,234,6.35 paid out by the Dominion Government in bounties for the year ending June 30th last.. Of this automat $1,510,203 were paid on iron and steel compared with $908,962 last year. There were paid $330,645 on lead, $13,789 on binder twine, and $350,047 on petroleum. —The engineer in charge of the Quebec to Moncton section of the Grand Trunk Pacific has reported that when the line he has to construct has been completed, it will be just ten and a half miles longer than the parallel road (Intercolonial) it is designed to supercede. Anything more foolish than the building, at a cost of $20,- 000,000 odd, of a railway that is longer than the present one it wont(' be diffi- cult to suggest. * —Japan has anarea actually 27,000 square miles greater than the British Isles and 5,000,000 more inhabitants ; in other words, the population of Ja• • pan is 47,000,000, while that of Great Britain and Ireland is but 42,000,000. Japan's population exceeds that of France by nearly 9,000,000, of Italy by 15,000,000, and of Austro-Hungary by 500,000. Outside of Asia there are but three countries in all the world with greater populations than Japan—Rus- sia, the United States, and Germany. irk —The total number of municipalities in the province of Ontario is 287. Lo- cal Option by-laws, under Provincial legislation, have been carried in 49 of them. There are '75 others in which no licenses are issued. There are thus 124 municipalities in which no licenses are issued. The number of licenses in other municipalities is being steadily re was uthenumber d cel. In 1875, 6185. Last year it was 2899, and al- ready one hundred have been cut off for 1905. It nmst be borne in mind that the population of the province has almost doubled since 1875. * * —At the 24th annual meeting of the C. P. R. on October 4th, President Shaughnessy stated that a record re- venue of over fifty million dollars bad been collected last year, and even this vast sum had been exceeded in the present year, so favorable were the prospects. As a result of recent improvements, he said, the road was well in the point of all transcontinen- tal lines. \With an eye to still further improvement, he presented a resolu- tion calling for an expenditure of $7,500,000 on rolling stock and locomo- tives. It was promptly approved. * * —The report of the Commissioner of Public Works of Ontario states that in 1904 there were completed or under construction 7,324 miles of railway in the province, of which 525 miles were under construction. The new lines being built included a road 59 miles long between .Romford, near Sudbury, and Byng Inlet, being constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, an ex- tension of the Temiskaming and Nor- thern Railway from 80 to 100 tniles north of New Liskeard, and a line of the Tames Bay Railway from Toronto to a junction with the Canadian Pa- cific Railway near Sudbury, a distance of about 265 miles. * 4 —According to the most recent Ger- man statistics, the length of the rail- roads of the world was 537,105 miles on December 31, 1904, of which 276,386 miles were in America, 137,776 in Eur- ope, 46,592 miles in Asia, 15,619 miles in Africa, and 16,702 miles in Austra- lasia. Of the mileage of European railroads, Germany stands first, 34,016 miles. The average cost of construc- tion of the European railroads per mile is estimated at $107,577, while for the remainder of the world the esti- mate is only $59,650. The total value of the railroads of the world, accord- ing to these statistics, is $43,000,000,- 000, of which the European roads fig- ure for $=2,000,000,000. * 4 —The three principal beetsugar pro- ducing countries are Germany, France and Anstro-I'iungary. Germany in ;1904 produced 4,2,53,000,000 lbs of sugar ' and nearly two-thirds of this was con- , sinned in the home market, where it was protected against the competition of itnported cane by a high tariff, and up to 190:3 the export end of Ger- many's sugar trade was helped by bounties. Austro-Hungary in 1904 produced two and ahalf billion pounds of sugar, and half of this was found sale for in the protected home market. France produced upwards of one and a half billion pomade, and nearly three- fonrtlzs of the total output Was sold at home, where it was protected against foreign competition by a high tariff. 4 —The question of abolishing the en - 11 trance examination le at present a i very live issue With Toronto Board of Education. Inspector Hughes declarers the ehti=ance eitatnination is an un- mitigated evil ; that the competition among fetchers to past at many of their pupils as possible is detrimental both to the c:hildreu's edneation and their health, "Au examination at the enol of the year is not to fair test of a pupil's standing," said Inspector Hughes. "I world prefer to rely on the judgment of the teachers, and I would rather leave the promotions in their hands." A deputation was ap- pointed to interview the. Minister of Education with a view to scouring legislation which will place the power of making promotions from the Public to the High schools in the hands of the Board. —A critical surgical operation was recently performed in the German- town Hospital, Philadelphia.. A nuts was brought in who had been shot in the breast, The wound was in a line with the heart, and the surgeons be- lieved that the organ had been grazed, if it had not been pierced. The pa- tient was in a very' low coudition, and his death was momentarily expected, As it was evident that death must ensue if heroic measures were not ta- ken, and that therefore there was no- thing to be lost by an operation, the surgeons determined to examine the heart. An incision was made, por- tions of two ribs removed, and the heart was exposed. The operating surgeon took it in his hand while search was made in the cavity for the bullet. It was found imbedded within a fraction of an inch of the heart, and its pressure had interfered with its pulsation. When the bullet was re- moved, the heart, which had contin- ued beating while the surgeon held it, was restored to its place. The wound was closed and the patient is in a fair way to recovery...In In former times such an injury would have inevitably caused death ; but now, science has so far advanced, that it can deal even with so critical a case. ing of the change of viceroys and General Kitchenet's policy will ;: he car- ried out under the Earl of lllioto, the new viceroy, Rnseia, now halted on the Pacific, would soon as naturally push into British Asia as an avalanche stopped at one outlet would soon seek another ; and the English are strength- ening their Asiatie defenses in time. The appointment of the Earl of Minto to this great post was a sur- prise, for Iris administration as Gover- nor-General of Canada was not a note- worthy success, But the duties of a governor-general in Canada are wholly formal sand social, and Lord Minto did not seem quite so to understand theta. It is assumed that he approves the stronger military policy for India. The chief distinctions that he has won are military—he has seed service in India, in Africa, and in the Northwest Tert•itr ies of Canada in the Riel re- bellion. In the Afghan war he served under General Roberts. He would - naturally favor the new and stronger military policy of General Kitchener. His appointment conies pat after Gen- eral Roberts's recent speech in the IIouse of Lords in which he emplane sized the defencelessness of the Em- pire. The meaning of it all is that the menace of Russia is to be checked while us-ta is weak, General Kitch- ener recently gave expression to a widespread opinion among English- men, especially among Englishmen of military training, that in spite of Rus- sia's setback a clash between her and England in India is at some time inevitable. PREMIER WHITNEY FIRM. Premier Whitney politely but firm- ly refuses to dismiss an office -holder simply because he is a. Liberal. To a deputation that recently waited on him on this matter, he said, in so many words :— "Gentlemen,—If you want the head of a government official it is up to you, the patronage committee, to show why. It is not the business of the government to run around looking for information against any member of the service. We are not here for that purpose. We have other matters of importance before. us. We believe you are right in demanding the re- moval of offensive partisans, and if you produce the evidence we will do the rest." "The Premier is perfectly right," was the opinion of many of the: com- mittee as they passed out of the build- ing. "Itis now up to us to act." The answer of the Premier was de- livered in his most suave tone. Ent he was firm in his refusal to throw out otiice-holders simply because there •were good Conservatives looking for their jobs. His answer melted the deputation and execration was turned to blessing.—[Toronto World. QUESTION AND ANSWER. An "Enquirer" asks of the Weekly Sun the following questions :- 1—Number of Senators at Ottawa? 2—Amount of salary and perquisites ? 3—Are they any use—would the coun- try suffer without them ? The editor of the Sun replies as fol- lows :- 1—The number of Senators is 81. 2—The total amount received by the Senators in indemnity and mileage in the fiscal year ending with June, 1904, before the hate increase in in- demnity, was $181,845.03. In addi- tion to this the Speaker received $4,000. On top of all this there was an expenditure of $87,722.53 for sala- ries and contingencies. This made the total cost of the Senators that year $273,567.76. Included in the items for contingencies were these expenditures: Bath brush, $1.50; bath soap, $1.20; flower pot, $6.25: table cover, $115; four silver dishes, $9.550 ; three dozen champagne glasses, $2.50; four dozen claret glasses, $1.50; two -dozen finger howls, $4.50; six pepper castors, $1.75; six mustard. pots, $3.75; half- dozen nut crackers, $12 ; and half- dozen long spoons, $8.50. 3—The question as to whether the Senate is of any use, and as to whe- ther the country could get along without it, can be as well answered by any intelligent reader as it can by The Sun. Our own opinion is, however, that if what is by courtesy called the Upper Horse should sud- denly drop out of existence the hole left would be about as conspicilous as that which remains on drawing one's finger from a bowl of water. —Editor Sun. ENGLAND STRENGTHENING HER INDIAN DEFENSES, (The World's Work.) A part of the same defensive Move- ment by l4ngiand which caused her to renew and strengthen her alliance with Japan is the change of policy in the government of India. F''or the re• tirentent of Lord Curzon as 'viceroy had more than a personal meaning. He stands for the supremacy of the civil government over the military; and this, and not a mere disagreement about the appointment of a subordi- nate, wits the difference between the Viceroy and the Home Oorerninent which caused blur to resign. The strengthening of the army and of the military defenses itt India is rho mean. Clairvoyant Medical Examination Free 13y DR. E. BUTTERFIELD of Syra- cuse, N. Y.
