devised an apparatus that is of interest to Canadian cities and towns. Itis one for melting snow in the streets instead of carrying it away in carts. The machine is described as simply a tubular doiling with an open sheil, into which snow is dumped as tast as it can be shoveled. Ata recent experiment with ten tons of ice,made as nearly like snow as possible, that quantity was melted in about forty minutes: the amount of fuel used jis not stated. The cost of carting a load of snow—weight rot stated—is 75 cents, without the labor of loading it. The test of efficiency will, of course, lie in the amount of fuel burned for snow removed.

Taxes 1n the United States.
The Federal Government, says David A. Wells, for the fiscal year 1884 taxed
the people of the United States to the extent of 3104.393,625 more than was necessary to defray all ordin ry expen-
ditures, including pensions and interest onthe public debts. ‘Had this enor- mous sum of money been remitted to the people,it would have beew sufficient to have bought two pair of for every man in this country with an oe cupation, or two barrels of flour for every family ; or it would have added a week’s wages to the gain of every manual laborer. It would have paid

ten per ceat. on a thousand million of |
capital invested in agriculture,manufac tures or mining.” —— eet > ree

Charlie Ross Again.
A young lad about 15 years of age, light bair and complection, and blue eyes, was brought to the Journal office, St. Catherines,Ont., on Thursday after noon. The boy,on being questioned,says he believes that he is 15 or 16 years of age. His first recollection is of playing in Poiladelphia with a boy named Anderson, who lived near his pareat’s residence. He says that his own name is Charlie Ross. He was taken away trom his home by a gypsy, who was called Jobn Fleets,in a covered waggon, and given somethivg that set him asleep, After travelling for a considerable time he crossed a long bridge, which he now believes was the Niagara Suspension Bridge Ue remained with the gvpsies for fovr or five years, and fin: liv ran

Ist. THE PATENT INSIDE ROLT WORK, which is placing the bolt work with the whole of the filling (six inches) between it and the outside, that is, as far from the fire and thief as it can be.
2ud. THE PATENT HINGED CAP—the back plate of the door being on hinges, enabling the owner, by turning a thumbscrew, to have casy access to ‘the lock and bolt- work, He can thus easily change the lock, clean, oil, and keep the bolt-wirk in good order.
