If by any chance the disease could be traced ro even' one of-these Irish cattle a renewal of the most stringent restrictions must in-' evitably have been imposed by the lllziglish Board of Agriculture on the “Port of Irish cattle, as. happened last year when, during six months theta was a. consequent loss to Ire: land of millions of dollars.
However, the ‘English board has
officially reformed the Irish Depart-
ment that each of tb, Mt | ._ Y-one Irish ‘cattle on the infected farm hes been examined and found free from any tracts of the disease. Thin; it will be impossible, whatever happens, to lay the blame for this outbreak on .Ireland. But the Department has Very Pf°l101`1y token precautions to prevent the introduction of the dis. ease into Ireland from England. Al- though the _outbreak last year could not be definitely traced to any given source, it is believed probable that it was brought into ireland from England. whelc it had previously M0112!! 01112. by some drivers of cat- tle dealers.
The department -has therefore issued' an order prohibiting thelmport into Ireland of cattle from England, -and another order that all drovers and cattle dealers from England amd Wales shall be disinfected on arrival at Irish ports,
HIPPOPTAMUS TO CLEAN
THE PANAMA CANAL
Colonel Goethals has been advised
by Malor Louis L. Seaman to ask the United States government to ini. port a herd of hippopt-_-,ni in ki-.fp down the excessive vegetation in the region of Late Gatum, according to a recent report. The introduction of these animals presents difficulties, but the recommendation of Malor Seaman is not to be lighiiv passed over. I-Ile 'belongs to the United States medical corps, was the dis- coverer of the insect responsible for theslesping sickness and has other- wise won recognition as an authority in his line.
About two years ago the hippopo-
tamus was considered as a possibil- ity for ridding Louisiana of the wild llyacinth and a bill was introduced into congress providing for an im. portation of these animals for that Durllose, but the project fell through and the activities of the hippopta- mus in this country have been re- stricted to his' performances in the tanks and cages of the menageries. There are many things to be said for tho hlppoptamus as a destroyer of such superfluous vegetation as has impeded the work of the engineers in the Panama district. Next to thu elephant it is the largest of land an- imals, weighing, when fully grown, from four thousand to five thousand pounds. Its stomach is sometimes eleven feet long, and ln it the hip- popotamus can stow away four or five bushels of proveuder. ,
The hippopotamus has never taken a beauty prize. Although it is call-' ed the water-horse, it resembles the
pig mcfe than n horse. It is only within recent years that the hippo-
potlynus has been on exhibition in Eur pe and America. In_ 1850 two fine' specimens. Obash and Delia, were sent to the London zoological
garden by the viceroy of Egypt. It / ad taken the hunters four years to
`l*ind a suitable pair and the aroused
intense interest among the visitors to the menagerie. They soon adailt- ed themselves to their new conditions and for a time were so tame that their keepers could turn them into the giraffe paddock and ride on their backs. Their dispositions soon changed, howe}_'_er, and they proved, as is usually the case with them, very difficult to handle. Obsush had such n antipathy t'o`.'1ne of the keep- ers, named Scott, that whenever he saw him he would chase him. This was turned to advantage to get him into the cage when he was unwilling to go, which was often. 300%. wgnld appear on the scene and enter the cage. Obash would start. in pur- suit. As soon as he entered his cage the door would be closed ur on him, Scott having already made n safe exit. Although they are such slug- gish creatures, they can be quick enough when it suits their purlmre-
One day Obash was lying appar- ently asleep when a d0g 111155611 by~ _The hippotamus was after him like a flash.

40,000 PRISONERS IN RUSSIA
ROME, December 15--Considerable
excitement has been created in ad- vanced political circles in Europe by the publication of an alllleal on bc- half of the political prisoners of Russia. It is signed by over 500 leaders of European thought, and it “sets out: _
"Since the Tsar's manifesto of
October, 1905, promising liberty to the people of Russia, over' 40,000 per- sons have been sentenced for politi- cal offenses.
“Of these over 5,000 were execut-
ed, and more than 10,000 thrown in- to the horrible ‘Katorga' (hard lab- or) prisons.
“The recent ‘annesty’ on the occa-
sion oi the tercentenary of the Ro- manoffs has scarcely affected the po- 'litical prisoners, and their terrible sufferings have not been mitigated.
“Under the present regime impri-
sonment has become an endless tor- ture. The prisons are overcrowded to such an extent that it is imlloss- ible for the prisoners to find rest even on the bare floor; absolute star- vation and most barbarous treat- ment; have made the prisons a P91” fect hall.
"Ten kopeks (5 cents) is the daily
allowance for a prisoner’s food, but a greater part of it is pocketed by the various officials.
THE SHEEP AND WOOL
INDUSTRY OF CANADA
“Sheep raising should comprehend
'one of the most important 'phadvs of Live Stock in Canada. No country of relative area possesses so many natural advantages for this pursuit. Yet the Sheep Industry has never occupied a prominent poslticn in Canadian agriculture and what is worse, a serious retrogression has been occurring in recent years."
In the illustrated article in this
week's Journal of Commerce, Mont- real, Mr. T. Reg. Arkell of the Live Stock Branch, Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. compares the industry here with that in other countries and, in making these coml1arlS011S.

He discusses the reasons for the retrogression that has been taking place during the past_f1ft€€n y_0B1'B and outlines the campaign that is being carried on to revive the in- dustry in Canada.

IHAIIINIIBIIEHS
CLEVELAND, O., December 15,
(Special-Train robbers tonight are suspected of responsibility for this derailing of Passenger Train No. 16, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, at Wicklifle, eighteen miles east of here last night.
Acting on this theory, li score of detectives. sided by bincabcnn<is,1ni- lowed trails this afternoon and to- night that possibly will lead to ar- rests tomorrow. It is thought that the heavy load of registered mail led to an attempted robbery. The theory that the derailment was caused in ani attempt to kill Alfred H. Smitb,ne\v- ly-elected president of thc New York Central lines, has been discarded. It is regarded as impossible that any- one could have known of his pres- ence on the train.
GfiOfv'I`l-I OF
CANADIAN RAILWAYS.
Canada has more miles of railway
per capita. than any other country. We have 30,058 ini-.es in operation. 8,2120 iniles under construction, and several thousand more miles in the brains oi' promoters. This is a mog- nificient achievement for the railway builders of this country. But the people of the 'country have also done- their share in completing these huge enterprises. In cash subsidies, the Dominion G-overmnent, lP‘I‘0VlD¢iE11 Governnients and m.uuiciPH11f»1¢B 115-V0 givcii up to date the iinrrense sum of $208,072,074; 56,052,055 acres of land.
045. For 1912 the increase in cash sub-
sidics over 1911 amounted to $5.- flt|;£,ul8, in land, 6,000,000 acres, and in guarantees, $96,733,685. In addi- tion to this, the Government is con- structing the eastern division of the Grand Trunk Pacific at a c0Bt WIIACIJ the Minister of Finance announced in Parliament would probably reach $2-1a,ou0,u00, of which the expenditure of e1'II,000,000 has already token place. '
These items added together make
$690,;-12,119 without placing any mon- ey value on the land grants. It is impossible to say what the latter are worth, but the holdings of the Gan- adian Pacific and Canadian Northern Railways in the West would realize not less than $150,000,000 at prevail- ing prices.
Yet the transportation problem re-
iruins the greatest national problem of Canada. High transportation charges are one of the chief causes of our high cost ol living. We have giv- en geucrously to our railways. They have been allowed to fit their rates. They are prosperous enterprises. We, want service. We have paid for it and will continue to pay for it, but we must have it.
Tnere will soon be three great
transcontinental railways completed frurn ocean to ocean. We want no more for the present. The time has como when the railways should stop building main lines and devote their attention first to covering the coun- try with a network of branch lines, which will serve the vast areas wait- ing for settlement; and second, to the improvement of their service. By ceasing the construction of main lines for the present, the companies will save money to buy engines and cars, to build terminals and sidings, and to make other improvements ln their service which are the crying need of this country.-Industrial Cane ada.

IIIIPLE ALLIANCE » EIIII ALBANIA
VIENNA, Dec. 15. (Special)-The
Brent Powers of Europe have now agreed that Prince William of Wied shall be the first sovereign of Al- bania. The blow to Bulgaria preten- sions in this direction is n severe one, and Tsar Ferdinand will not easily get over the relection of his son, Prince Cyril. But fate just now does not smile readily on Bulgaria, and the credit for thle selection ofthe Protestant Prince William falls to King Carol of Rumania, who, as a relative, well knew the man and ap- preciated his qualifications for the high post. At any rate, it is cer- tain that the formal proposal to the Powers came from him, and that Germany and Austria were the first to' give their consent. By a happy coincidence the Princess gave birth
