WHAT MAKES BOW-LEGS,

Bow-legs and knock~knees are among the commonest deformities of humanity, and wise mothers assert that the crooked- neas. in either case, arises from the aftilicted one Waving been put upon his or her feet too@arly in babyhood, But a Manchester (Erfgtund) physician, Dr. Crompton, who

as watcheg for the true cause, thinks dif- erently, He attributes the first mentioned *listortion toa habit some youngsters des light in, of rubbing the sole of one fooi against that of the other; some will go to sleep with the soles together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don’t attempt to make it when they are socked or slippered, So the re~ medy is obvious; keep the baby’s soles eavyered. Knocksknees, the Doctor ascribcs to a different childish habit, that of sleep ing on the side, with one knee tucked under the hallow behind the other, He has found that where ane leg has been bowed inward more than the other, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost member has been the most deformed, Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees, so as to keep them apart, and let the limbs grow freely their own way. All of which is commended to mothers who desire the physical upright~ ness of their progeny.

MOVING MOUNTAIN IN SAVOY.

The Journal des—Debals contains farthe: particulars concerning the unprecedented tail ofa mountain in the district of Saint Foy, Savoy, the spectacle having been most majestic and terrible. Tbe catastrophe which betel, and which still threatens, Mazure and Miroir, two of the most flours ishing villages of Saint Foy, has been er- roneously reported as an instantaneous phenomenon, and as completed, nis is uot the case, 4s it is nota mountain that has fallen down, but one that seems break. ing up, and which for the last twenty 20 days has, night and day, without interrup- tion, filled the valley beneath it with heaped-up stone blocks, with a noise like thunder, darkening the atmosphere and filling the air with thick clouds of yellowish dust and sand. ‘The dismantled cracer of the Beo-Rouge reaches to a height of 2.460 metres, or 8,200 feet, above the level ot the sea,and is situated 1,340 metres or nearly 4,500 feet above the valley of the Magure and Miroir. The general veclivity or inclination does not exveed 5U degrees, the surface haying a diagonal length of about 1,800 metres, or 6,000 feet. The entire mass, which threatens to crumble down, forms 4 mutilated or lopped cone of 200 metres width at the top and 600 metres at the base, and is composed of hard and compact flaky stone-blocks, but entirely disconnected. This massive group of rocks is attached to the mountain by a vertical part, already cleft and tottering, measuring a thickness only of 40 to 5U metres. The whole seems to tumbie down like a wall

ulied down by an unceasing process and an invisible power, The vertical part of the declivity may at any moment join the much larger mass, already in motion, of 1,200,000 cubic metres of gigantic rough stones, The spectacle is indescribabie; the upheaving of the ocean or the eruption of a volcanic mountain can alone give some slight ‘idea of the process of those mys= terious forces of nature in convulsions, the process of falling having continued with- out interruption, excepting for a few moments now and then, for more than 500 hours. Blocks of some 4U to 5) cubic metres in circumference seem to detach themselves without any apparent Cause, as if uplifted by the efforts of subterranean powers. These, in halfa minute, leap of trom 400 to 500 metres—descend the de- clivity of 1,800 metres, to break to pieces at the bottom of the ravine, or to dash through the pine woods, mowing down the pine trees like so many sticks, with a ter- rifte noise, The trunks apd branches of the trees disappear in the air like the flashes of rocket. Sparks also rise when two of these monster blocks strike against one another, and when the thunderslike shock, splitting them into smaller parte, sends the fragments fiying down the valley like a swarm of swallows carried away by u hurricane. Then follow the masses of irs regular and smaller blocks, and lastly the smalier flint stones. This phenomenon resists all attempts at explanation, save on

the hypothesis of a subterranean upheayal,

UNITED STATES. On Monday last the St. John Relief Fund in Boston amounted to $46,965 53.

In Boston last week 153 children died, eighty-two of them from cholera infantum.

The death of two of the great ones of the earth is announced: Ruth Benton, of Wisconsin, age 51; height 7 feet 4 inches, weight, 585 pounds; and Modeste Malhoit, of Quebec, age 6°: height6 feet 5 inches; weight 618 pounds.

A petition to the President was unani- mously signed at San Francisco with a view to having a treaty effected between the United States and Italy, similar to that entered into between the United States and Queen Victoria in ]1870..

Richard H. Chuck was executed at Owentown, Ky.. on Friday, in the presence of over five thoasand persons. Ile was convicted of the murder of Nelson Parish, but died, saying, * Don’t hang me gentle- men, | am an innocent man.” He ex- hibited remarkable composure, asserting his innocence to the last and hoping God would forgive the false witnesses, On the same’ day, Albert Trammell, ® negro preacher, was hanged at Rosston, Arkansas, tor the murder of his wife five years ago. Trammell confessed his guilt.

St. John merchants are quickly replacing the large stocks which were destroyed by the fire. Goods are arriving daily by rail and from sea, and trade*is falling into the usual channels. ‘he imports in the month ot July just ended were necessarily much heavier than in the same period last year. The duties collected amounted to $89,- 988.36, against $49,237.34 in 1876. Toe total customs revenue last month reachect in Halifax the revenue for tre

of $11,048.58.

The Canada Gazette of the 28th ult, eon- tains the following statement of the exports and imports of Canada for June: The total value of goods entered for consump- tion in the Dominion (British Columbia excepted) during the month of June last was $8,153,150, of which $5,740,797 was free goods and $4,4°6,353 dutiable goods, on which duties to the amount of £953,635 were collected. The valua of goods ex- ported during the same month amounted to $10,288 408, of which $950,759 was goods not the produce of Canada; $16,40) coin and bullion, and $9,316,258 the produce of Canada, composed as follows: Produce ot mine, $170,661 ; produce of fisheries, $667 s 111; produce of forest, $5 390,004; ans imals and their produce, $1,208,903; agri. cultural products, $848,878; manufactures, $302,314; ships sold to other countries, $697,020; miscellaneous articles, $51,344,

The comparative fewness of the fires ocx curring throughout the Dominion since the great fire in St. John is worthy of res mark. It may be partially traced to the circumstance that the public have taken warning by that calamity, and have since exercised greater vigilance. But the most extraordinary feature is that the insolvent companies, the Beever Mutual, the Niagara District and Provincial have escaped als most without loss. We do not know how to account for this unless we take into consideration the moral hazard, and todo this casts a serious reflection upon us as @ community, Can it be possible that build. ings will not burn when there is no proba- bility of getting immediate payments ?

The news from the cod fisheries in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is somewhat unfayor. able. Reports trom the Magdalen Islands are to the effect that fogs and high winds have prevented fishing boats from starting, while the off-shore fisheries find cod fish scarce. Newfoundland advices state that the catch has not been so short for fifteen years, for the number of men and the class of craft employed. On the other hand, fat herring are caught in abundance at the Magdalens, and the hooking of mackerel has begun promisingly.

FRANUE.

Last year in Framce, out of 406,000 young men drafted for the army, there were but from 500 to 600 who did not respond. In Germany, during the same year, out of 406 000 drafted, 40,000 neglected to re- spond,

GREAT BRITAIN.

England is sending 10,000 troops to ‘Tur. key. They will land at Gallipoli, at the entrance of the Sea of Marmora, and will thus be within easy distance of Constati- nople. The British ironclad fleet will also be near at hand, The preparations seem to imply that England expects the Russian armies to rout the Turks. After Russia and Turkey have lost heavily in severely fought battles, Austria and England will

probably dictate the terms of peace,
