[Spectra ro Tax Examiyer.]
Lenpox, Oct 31—There has been the ; greatest activity today at Davenport, the “e of the largest arsenal in Great Britain, 'and two of the finest doekyards in the world.

CAN WATER COMMISSIONERS RESIGN ?
—
Sir,—Editorialy you announce that by a ‘legal opinion obtained a water commisei - _oner canaot resign, It will be new to find ‘a case of compulsory service in the British
realm, outside of the war and penitentucry departments, But I differ from your opin- jion. Usage and common law practice, as applied to similar cases in all institutions of government, permits withdrawal. ‘There ‘are rare exceptions to this rule, as in cases where resignation would jeopardise t.e | service or where both parties have vulun~ tarily entered into & specific contract. The | water and sewerage act gave thie common ilaw principle the fullest recognition and made ample provision for the filling of a ,vacancy adnitiedly possible or probable. If your legal opinion is @ Correct one, it i must of necessity carry with it much force in Other directions. For instance, it might legislase life into a dead man; for if heis not allowed to resign the same law will not permit him 'todie. Still more important than this, if he isnot permitted to resiga the office of | water cou missioner it is equally clear that be cannot accept another important cffice requiring removal from tie province and involving the total neglect of the duties of his office ata time when the greatest in~ terests are at stake and his services in the department indispensable. If the two re- maining commissionera were also to re- move to the other provinces, what provi-~ sion would your Jegal opinion then make for the conduct of the office? There are, even vow, features in Our sewerage con~ struction which call forthe immediate attention of a level-headed, practical! man in the sewer aommissioners’ Office: aul the Council should at once call upon the sureties, reqiring either Mr. Laird’s pre- sence and attention to the duties of his office, otherwiee his resignation, so that another, equally competent, may be elected to hie place.

A GREAT DISCOVERY,
NICOLA TESLA CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND A MEANS WHICH WILL, IF SUCCESSFUL, MEAN AN INDUSTRIAL REVO- LUTION.
New Yor«x, Oct 29 —Nikola Tesla, the electrician, describes in today’s issue ot the Electrical Review a possibility in elec tric power transmission. His inventions for transmitting electricity at high pressure over long distances have been successfully applied at many natural sources of power. Probably the most important of these plants inthe United States is at Nias gara Falls, which supplies eletcricity to mauy large factories aud supplies electric power for runoiog the trolley jines of the c ty of Buffalo, twenty-six miles distant. The announcement is now made that by, em ploying apparatus which be has inven ed, capable of generating electrical pre- - ures vastly ia excess of any heretofore usd, located at natural scources of power, the current can be couduced to @ terminal maintained at au elevation where the atmosphere is capable of conducting freely the particular current produced; then ata distant point where the energy is to be used commercially tc mantaio a second terminal at about the same elevation to attract aod reearth through special meacs for transforming and utilzing it. :
With the article an illustra’ion is pre-} sented showing streams of electricity issu- ing from @ single terminal, giving an esti - mated electrical pressure of twoaod a half million volts. The Electrical Review comments on Mr Teela’s novel ideaas fol- lL .we:—
i esla now proposes to transmit with- out use of wires—through the natura media, the earth and the air, great amount of power to dietances of thousands ot miles. This will appear a dream—a tale from the Arabian Nights, But the extraordinery discoveries Tesla bas made during a number of years of in- cessant labor, make it evideat that his woy® in this field has paseed a stage cf lauwatory experiment and is ready for a practical test on an iodustrial scale. The euccess of his efforts means that power from such sources a8 Niagara wil! become available ip any part of the world regard less of distance.”

NEW CHURCH AT MILTON.
A Handsome Structure Formally Opened Yesterday.
The new Anglican Church at Milton was opened for public worship yesterday. The church was constructed from plans made by Mr WC Harris, jr. It is designed in the early English style of gothic archi~ architecture, and is very prettily situated ona hillside in an open grove of spruce and birch trees.
Tne main gable end ia which is a broad mulliored window faces the roadway aod is placed an ample distance back from the sidewalk. The body of the build- ing lies parallel with ,the depth of the parish graveyard jot, ‘the old snonu- mente giving a picturesque effect to the grounds surrounding the Uhureh.
The spire and tower in which is the entrance doorway are atthe eouth front corner of the building and occupy a commanding porition when seen from the ascent ofthe country road. The front gable on one side and the transept gable and decorated pierced tracery window and octagonal chencel, on the: other give a pleasing effect of easy balance to the genera! outline of the building, the tower and spire appearing as the central commanding feature.
The interior is finished with a groined arched rvof finished in slightly stained epruce rising trom circular wall pillars aod carved white wood capitals.
The pews and the chancel rail and fittings are in birch, the walle are tinted with a soft yellowish olive green, in bar- moay with the subdued brownisn yellow of the woodwork.
The window glass is leaded lattice and of a cheerfull amber tint. The chancel is apsidal and of the full width of the church, being separated from the nave by
reference whatever to the deputy minister, | the arch mouldings in the roof.
There are no windows in the chance!
acomparative stranger at that time in| butit is quietly and artistically lighted Outawa, did not even know that there was (trom the large mutlioned tracery wiodow
in the transept gable,
The windows in the nave are principally on one side sod in the end gable over the foot platform, thus givisg @ quiet illum~ ination and avoiding unpleasant cross- lights. A piece of decorative wall panel - ling of pillars and arches, ae in the east end of St Paul’s Church, was designed for the wal! above the communion table but for some reason it has been dispensed with at present by the committe aod untill it is placed in position the architect com- plains that the apparent hight of the ceil~ ing is considerable reduced and the beau ty of the interior cdmpletly destroyed by the hareh horizontal lines in the chancel and which the omission neccesstates.
The estemed rector of Milton and his parishoners are to be congratulated upon

@» Den On Maskat.
A funny scene occurred many years ago in congress. A present of Arabian horses, a sword, etc., arrived from the imam of Maskat for President Adams. A western member with some heat moved that the gift should be sent back, with a letter from congress, in- forraing the ruler of Maskat that the president of the United States was no king, but the servant of the people, and was not permitted to give or receive presents.
Another member rose. ‘‘Such a let- ter, Mr. Speaker,’’ he said, ‘‘can easily be written. But where is it to be sent? Where is Maskat?’’
There was no response. Apparently not a member of the house was prepared to answer, nor could Maskat then be found in any atlas published in this country. It was found at last on a Ger- man map. A civil answer was returned, and the geographers made haste to in- sert Maskat in the next edition of their maps. —Exchange.
The Other Way Around.
The loyalty of the Scottish bighlander tc his kilt isa picturesque thing. He will never admit that it makes bim cold, and highlanders who were suffer- ing from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substi- tute the kilt for it in order to get warm, though this would be much like removing one’s coat and waistcoat and rolling up one’s shirt sleeves for the same purpose.
It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier in full highlander uniform shiy- ering in a cold wind, asked him:
**Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?’
‘**Na, na, mon,’’ the soldier answered indignantly, ‘‘but I’m nigh kilt with the cauld !’’—Exchunge.
Hurrah!
W. J. Spratley, the Egyptologist, thinks that ‘‘there can be no doubt that the Egyptian soldiers in ancient times went into the battle to the inspiring cheer of the ‘Hoo Ra! Hoo Ra! Hoo Ra!’ and if the average questioning man asks why he replies with this, ‘Because Hoo Ra (in the tongue of the Rameses) means ‘the king, the king, the king!’ ”’
