sent in contributions, and many of
the competitors took advantage of the
opportunity allowed under the con-
ditions of submitting three names.
The result was that the aggregate of
15,000 was reached. The names have
all been classified and arranged in
alphabetical order, and out of the
number the Grand Trunk Pacific
board will make the selection of the
favored designation. It may be

A MEDIAEVAL NAVY.
The Q+teer Imetements of Attack anal
Defense Thug were Used,
Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armement of Great Brlta1n'e
mediaeval navy. The very names of
litany of the Implements of attack and
defense sound queer, According to the
books, In the year 1337 the vessels of
the navy were furnished with "es-
pringalds," ancient spring guns; "ball-
bergeous," ccats of mail; "baeineto,"
sruall lteltnets; bows, arrows, doublets,
targets; "pavises,' large shields placed
at the sides and serving the double
purpose of protection against the sea
and against the enemy; lances end
"firing barrels." As early as 1338
cannon formed part of the armament
of s1111ts, and about 1372 guns and gun-
powder were commonly used, Among
the stores belonging to one vessel of
that time were three iron cannon with
five chambers, a hand gun and three
old stone bags, probably for :hot. An-
other ship had an iron cannon with two
chambers and one brass cannon with
one chamber.
Among other implements of war
used at that time were "cannon
pavlova" or stone shot throwers and
"murtherers," which were smaller and
threw any kind of shot. There were
also "basilislys," "port pieces," "stock
fowlers," "Bakers" and "bombards."
The bombards were of hammered iron,
tirade of bars welded and bound to-
gether with Iron bands. They threw
stone shot weighing between 140
pounds and 195 pounds. A battery of
these erected on a slip of land at the
naval battle of Chloggla (1380) between
the Wenetians and the Genoese did
great damage. They were loaded over-
night and were fired in the morning.
Froissart tells of a bombard used at
one of these ancient sieges that "might
be heard five leagues off in the day-
time and ten at night. The report of
it was so loud that it seemed as if all
the devils in heli had broken loose."
Brass ordnance was first cast In Eng-
land in the year 1535. The pieces had
various names. Many of different
caliber were mounted on the same
deck, which must have caused great
confusion in action in finding for each
its proper shot.

Jas. Ritchie, a farther from near
Brussels underwent a rather serious
operation at the Clinton Hospital on
Saturday last. About four years ago
Mr. Ritchie had the misfortune of
having his arm broken a few inches
from the shoulder, by a stone wall
falling on him. The arm was, badly
mangled at the time, the bone coming
through the flesh. Athough the
wound healed, the bone never united,
and a false joint formed at the seat of
fracture. Notwithstanding the de-
formity and the double joint, Mr.
Ritchie was able to do a good deal of
work with the arta. The operation
consisted in sawing off the ends of
the bone and wiring them together.
Mr. Ritchie has been farming in Al-
berta for some time, and recently re-
turned with the object of having his
aria fixed if possible. His friends will
be pleased to learn that so far he is
progressing favorably.
