Scientific Misecllapy. | Anriric1aL Rupieg —Since their discovery lof artiticial rabies some years ago, Messrs.
Fremy and Verneuil, the Freneh chemists, ‘have striven to make crystals of suflicient sizes to be useful. Even now, however, their best crystals, though much larger than their first, are barely large enough tomount. Their process has been considerbly chang. ed, alumina alkanized by potassium, car- bonate having been jsubstituted for pure alumina, and the time of operating has been extended from 24 hours to several months. Inar t trial seven pounds of brilliant red gems Were turned out. Among

‘Considerable progress is being made in lcstablishing botanical stations in the West Indies. ‘Twelve ‘years agu, according to Nature, only two botanical establishments ‘existed in this part of the world, one at Jamaica and one at Trinidad, Stations have since been founded at British Guiana, Grenada, St. Vineent, St. Lucia, Barba- jdvues and Antigua, while others are being lorganized at Dominica, Nevis and St. /Kitts. Theses étations are maintained as ‘centres for the gfGwth and distribution of economic plants, abd for experimenting co ‘improve old inddstries and introduce new ones. Ths stattons have been curefully fostered by the botanists of Kew Gardens, England, by when a scheme for turther extending the eystem is soon to be carried ,out.

Ancient Gord Mixes in Inpia. — In gold mining in Lodia, the Eaglish appear to be not so much in advance of the ancients as we are are wont to believe. Wherever indications of guld are foand in Mysore, evidences have come to light of skillful and systematic mining at some remote period. Shafts and galleries were constructed in places not easily worked even with modern appliances. A mine in Kolar was opened with great difficulty until hydraulic driils were put in operation, when, afler penetrat- ing 300 feet into the hard schist, the miners were surprised to find there remains of old workings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Our Political Oliver Twist.
Sir,—It is pitiable to see Mr. L. H. Davies posing as Oliver Twist in the matter of subway information, and pleadingly “asking fur more.” Mr. Davies’ appetite for facts has certainly developed alarmingly since the filibustering of the Gliube has led him to *‘scent the battle afar’ ; and shouid Sir John decide upon a general election, we cannut even imagine to what extent he may be carried, ‘Tis certainly amusing to hear him say that the project, as now consti. tuted, is such that no prudent man could conscientiously advocate. Mr. Davies’ past political history preaches so little prudence or conscience that a care for such qualities might well be absent from his speech. However, it would appear that persons en- dowed with as much discernment, and as chary of their reputation, have not hesi- tated, the matter properly expiamed, to pin their faith to Senatur Howlan’s great scheme. While such engiueers as Walter! “hanley, Sanford Fiemimg, Sir D. Fox; such prominent citizens as Principal Grant and Archbishop O'Brien; and, in a word, every unprejudiced Islander or Mainiander of any intelligence, have found it not im- prudent or uuconscientious to coincide with the Senator’s views, it does seem curious to tiad one ofgfour most prominent public men sv careful of his reputation, and just ata moment when that reputation was nowise involved. If Mr. Davies had no faith in
Crossing at the Capes.
A week ago to-day I left my home at Tryon, P. E. Island, te come to Boston, and had my first experience in crossing in the ice boats. It would be useless for me to attempt a description of my feelings as 1 neared the place of starting If I was excited with the anticipation of the trip, the feeling was in- tensified ten-fold on reaching the ice. Arrived at Cape Traverse, my first business was to make arrangements for the passage over, Having been directed to Captain George Irving, I found him in his ususl genial eal and ready to make terme at a very reasonable rate. Whatever forebodings I had up to this time, vanished as I watched his movements,from this antil the time of starting arrived, His careful observation of the state of the ice and rate of the current inspired me with a feeling of security, and this feeling increased as we reached the edge of the station- ary or board ice. Arrived here the captain — and having climbed to the top of a arge pile of ice which had been thrown up by the action of the water, reconnoitred. me! the broken, or field ice, is carried along by the current at a rapid rate. We see the wis- dom vf placing ourselves in Captain Irving's charge. His knowledge of the tide and the movements of the ice render him one of the most competent men to be found for this hazardous work. After the first tew minutes your correspondent felt as sate as if riding in a sleigh on terra firma, The ice was in fine condition aud the trip was made in three hours. Captains Irving and Bell have crewa and excellent bosts. Persons wishing to cross the straits would do well to patronize these men, with whom they will be sure of a safe and speedy passage and a pleasant time
Permit me to say here, that during the whole trip not a profane word was ut*ered, Kach man knew bis duty and perfoimed it cheerfully.

the project, no encouraging word to give to! its promoters, no influence to exert at Ot. ! tawa, inthe name of common sense why didn’t he hold his tongue and see what the authorities at the capital would do fur us? He might be very sure that no wild scheme would de entertained, that the Government would move cautiously, that ali would de- pend upon estimates now being made over the Atiantic. But no; Mr. Davies couldn't wail. Like his conduct in every movement | undertaken at Ortawa to benefit the Prov- ince, he must needs prejudice wur chances now;—hence this furor scribendt. | What to us the history of the case he gives from his own vantage ground ? What to us Sir John’s, Sir Alexander Campbell’s, | and Hon. Mr. Abbot’s past opinions, rf here and now they are willing to admit our! claims and build what we ask, if feasible ? Like Sir Johu, Mr. Davies himself has de- | clared the project quixotic, while his’ erudite nautical colleague designated it as “that stovepipe business of eer! Has Mr. D. changed his opinion? It would seem so, since Low he only talks of | cost and would risk his precious reputation | on system. And if he has done so, why not look for a like change at Ottawa? List year the good work af the Stanley, the want of practical knowledge on the modus and locus of the tunnel, and, let me say also, the divided opinions of our representa- tives and people, shut the door tw the in- telligent consideration of the question by the government. The failure ot the beat, the lesson of St. Clair, Mr. Palmer an Professor Bain’s examination of the Strait bed, an united pepular demand presented by taithful leaders, have wrought wonders at Ottawa since then, an even Mr. Davies’ luminous eyes have been opened to the fact that, after all, this unending tunnel talk ef Howlan is not entirety moonshine, change that he hive experienced has also been undergone by the enterprising mem- bers for Kings and Prince C.unties, and now the roving Mr. Welsh is alone to be heard from. Mr. Perry, if he had the chance, would like to Lave an oppor'un ty to manifest his zeal by another question on the order paper ; and his worthy jieutenant in the First District of Prince County would now take the Subway ** for a dol- lar.” These are significant changes, and if they prove any one thing more than an- other. it certainly is that the people are for

Alexander as Mr. Davies will have to leave his seat ** tu the most worthy” if he dis- regards the popular demand. But Mr. ; Davies would be let down easily. Mr. Laurier found our claim reasonrble. His difficult and profitless trip accentuated the conviction. Mr. Davies having, as he thought, drowned the tunnel long ago with | cold water, new must come over to his leader ; and to permit himself to do this gracefully, he asks for facts, for more sur- veys, for the cold figures. Well, sir, we had surveys enough, as Principal Grant says ; what we want now is tenders asked for the work, and we hope that not many months will elapse before such action be, taken by the Gevernment, urged on by the | local Conservative leaders. As to the cust, we have reasonable assur- ance—the assurance of Mr. Palmer—that.

Howlan, McLeod and Ferguson, have assumed the cost of a thoroughly reliable report upon this and other questions involved, and that that report will soon be placed in their hands at Ottawa by Sir Douglas Fox. The leader of our Local Government and his co-delegate, Mr. Ferguson, presented a long and strong memorial to the Federal Cabi- net, and the matter was referred toa sub- committee of Hon. Messrs. Foster an
Tupper. These ministers have made their Coancil in accord-
