Upon the whole, we think our farmers have more raw products than ever !o work
up at home, and less for export than in }
some former years.
The question now is, what are the pros- pects as to prices? It is too soon to speak with certainty concerning the prices of farm produce that will rule this fall; and our present hopes may be dashed by some unexpected turn in the course of trade. But it is safe to say that prices, upon the. whole, will rule higher this year than last year. Without relying upon the reports of shortages circulated by interested indi- viduals, there is reason to conclude that superabuadance is not now the leading feature of the world’s supply. The old stocks in band have been greatly reduced and the new stock is not likely to fully fill up the gap. A despatch from Buda-pesth states that the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture’s estimate of the shortage is 50,800,000 hundredweights of wheat, 69,- 000,000 of rye, 38,000,000 of barley, 58,- 000.000 of oats, and 659,000,000 of corn, The same authority states that “many exporting countries, such as Turkey, Egypt, Australia, end Austria- Hnuogary will either be unable to ex-

Its output of all sorts of grain was 270,000,000 bushels. The wheat in Great Britain this season is 50,000,000 bushels against 63,000 000 last year. The wheat crop of British India is reduced from 23- 000,000 acres to 18,000,000 acres, and the wheat yield from 234,060,000 bushels to 202.600,009 busbelss The United States, whici has reduced its area sown in 6ats by 2,000,000 acres, that sown in corn by a mil-

The new tarit regulations are not civing satisfaction. The St. Jolin Globe (Liberal) | says editorially: “ The customs authorities
would do well to have the whole matter of
} material entries under the reciprocal or | preferential clause made as simple possible. There is complain: in St. Jobn that the customs officials are not satisfied | with the ordinary evidence which would satisfy anyone else that goods coming from | Germany are really German goods, but that much extratrouble has to be taken
to prove a case already very clear.”
A story illustrating the lynchivg comes from New Orleans. years ago an old Spaniard was mur- dered there, and the respectable parish- iovers seized and hanged, without trial, a couple of Italians. Thus justice was vindicated, the slow and uncertain methods of the law rebuked, the old avenged, the good name of St. Charles parish freed from reproach, the cfficials saved the trouble of an investigetios, the taxpayer saved the expense of a trial, and the real murderer relieved from anxiety. | Incidentally Uncle Sam was called upon by the Italien government to pay a con- | siderable indeninity, and paid it. And now | comes One Antonio Richards, a negro, to confess and prove bevond the shadow of a doubt that it was he, and not the Italians, who killed the old Spaniard.

PERILOUS RIDE OF AN AERONAUT WITH A MADMAN,
M. Godard’s Account of the Man Who Made an Ascension With Him In Search of Emotions—-How a Little Diplomacy Saved Two Lives.
M. Godard, a noted French acronaut, was recently relating to a party of friends, smong them a writer for The Star, some of his experiences while up in a balloon.
‘“‘The most exciting and in many re- spects most perilous ascension I ever made,’ said M. Godard, ‘‘occurred about five years ago froma point near Paris. On the occasion te which I refer I was accom- panied by a single fellow traveler, who

The Mark Lane Ex- press, of London, reviewing the crop pros- pect in Great Britain, says “the wet weather has seriously delayed the harvest, aud that the new wheat is bound to suffer. Advices from France and Italy according
to the same authority, chow the Russian |
crop to be decidely below the average, while the American crop is probable above the average.” These statements strengthen the prevailing opinion that prices are likely to go higher and that better times are in store for our farmers.
—Mr. Ogilvie, the Government surveyor | of the Yukon, estimates that $60,000,000 |
will be taken out of Eldorado Creek with- in the next three years; and to this he says must be added the favorable possi- bilities of new guiches andthe develop- ment of the claims already opened £0 as to permit of greatest production.

The weather was | fine and the balloon had risen to a consid- erable height when I turned to my com- panion, who, I noticed, was very quiet, and | faquired, ‘What effect has*the journey bad | so far upon you, monsieur?’ ‘**None whatever,’ was the curt reply. | ‘**Then,’ said I, ‘I must compliment you. You are the first amateur I have ever known to reach this altitude without experiencing some unusual emotion.’

«Ry Jove!’ I exclaimed, after glancing with surprise st the stolid, indifferent ex- pression of my guest’s face, ‘you are a wonder, a born aeronaut, monsieur.’
‘*Well, the balloon kept on rising, and when a few hundred yards higher I again turned to my phlegmatic friend and ques- tioned him as to his emotions.
‘“**Emotions! Nota trace of emcticns,’ replied he, with the air of a man who feels that he has been greatly imposed upon.
‘**Well, so much the worse.’ saidI. ‘I fear I shall rot be able to alarm you. We have'risen high enough, and we shall now descend.’

***Yes, certainly. It would be danger- ous to go any higher.’
***T don’t care about the danger, and I don’t choose to descend,’ declared the man. ‘I'm going up higher, I am. I’ve paid a thousand francs in order to experi- ence some emotions, and emotions I'll have before going down to the earth
again.’
“T burst out laughing. I thought the man was joking.
“Are you going up higher or not?

God- ard, ‘‘that I realized that I was in the so- ciety of a madman. ‘The dilated eyes, the furious grasp, the very tone of the man’s voice left no doubt in my mind about | We were some 3,000 feet high among the clouds.

‘*But what would you have me do?’ I asked, as calmly and soothingly as I could under the circumstances.
‘I’m going to throw you over,’ said the madman, with a wild laugh, ‘but first an idea strikes me. I'll go up to the tap of the balloon.’ And, suiting the action to the word, he jumped into the rigging of the car.
“ ‘But, my dear friend,’ said I, ‘you will surely fall and lose your life. At | least let me put a rope around your waist | to prevent such an accident.’
‘***Well, be it so,’ said the madman, who | seemed to see the necessity of some precau- | tion, and the rope having been attached he commenced climbing the rigging of the | balloon with the agility of a squirrel, and | in a minute or so was seated on the apex clapping his hands and shouting with joy. Suddenly he seemed to be seized witha mischievous desire, for, taking out of his pocket a huge clasp knife, he brandished it above his head and yelled out: ‘Now, you rascal! You wanted to descend, did you? So you shall, ina hurry!’ And be fore I could utter a word two out of the six ropes attaching the car to the balJoon were cut and the car began to swing about ominously. The madman’s knife was touching another rope when I called out to him, ‘Stop—cne word!’
““*No, no! Down you go!’
‘***But let me tell you something, my friend. We are now nearly 4,000 feet high, and the loss of the car, or even a single pound of ballast it contains, would result in certain death to you. If you have a se- cret grudge against me, don’t gacrifice your own life by cutting the car loose or casting me out. Let us rather return to the earth alive and we can soon settle any differences we may have with a brace of pistols,’
‘** Agreed!’ said the madman, throwing his knife away, and coming rapidly down the rigging from his dangerous perch he again took his seat quietly beside me in the car. Needless to say I soon pulled the valve, allowing the gas to slowly escape, and the balloon gradually descended to the earth, where, after the madman had gone in search of pistols, I said a solemn prayer and vowed never to make another ascen-

A FLASH OF LIGHT, BY A BANKER.
One of the most important functions of the atmosphere which we breathe is al- most entirely lost sight of, not withstand ng that the property referred to i: second ovly to its life-sustaining province. For the air may be said, in a sense, to create light. Without air diffused light could not exist, and except in the line of the dir- ect rays proceeding from any incandescent source (or trom any direct reflection thereof) absolute darkness must preyail, and the shadow of any opaque object, a tree, a house, a mountain, would, in tne absence of air, be midnight obscurity. We see by our telescopes that this is the case on the moon, which is without an atmos- phere, the shadows of the mountains be- ing perfectly black and sharply defined. On the summit ofa very high mouotain where tae atmosphere is thin and rarified, the same effect in lesser degree is noticed, and if it were possible to erect an obser- vatory on the summit of, for instance; Dhawalagiri or Mount Everest, it would be necessary to construct the windows cf exceptional size, as otherwise considerable inconvenievce would resuit from the in- sufficient light which would prevail in the rooms except in the direct raye of the sun.
Light travels with greater rapidity than avything known in nature except, per- hape, the electric fluid. Sound travels at! the rate of 1,142 feetin a second (or less if the temperature of the air be low); wrolites sre calculated to move at the pace of 114,000 feet ; the earth rushes round the tun at the average rate of 33,290 yards per second ; tne sun is travelling onwards towards the star Veya inthe Lyre at the prodigious annual rate of 153,000,600 miles ; but light forces its passage through space at the amazing speed of 192,000 miles per second, or more than a million times quicker than the rate of a cannon Yet, notwithstanding this terrific pace, every astronomical evext which we
we see it ; for instance, when we observe | the phenomenon known as the appearance of a “pew star,” in other words the collision and consequent terrific outburst of heat and ligut which results from the terrible impact of two great worlds, we see what hae happened years before ; in fact we are | looking at occurrences which took place, | '
and then ceased to exist long ago, the | coruscations of light which we are atten- tively examining in our spectroscopes | having no preacnt existence whatever, | Oreven when weare observing with our telescope or opera glass the eclipse of ove of Jupiter’s satellites, we are looking at
an event which happened neariy half-ao- hour previously, the satellite which we are soclosely observing being really hid- den behind the planet, and therefore in- visible. It may he'p to comprebend this apparent impossibility by observing a salute fired from a ship from a distance of about five miles; if the shots are discharg- ed at intervals of a half minute, the sound immediately followinga flash would be the report of the prey.ons grn fired,
The privoipal, or perhaps the ouly pri- inary source of light in the natural Una- iverse is heat, the one element being in fact the inseparable associate and con- comitant of the other, emanating from it, and in many respects possessing some- what similar properties, and it is believed
that the waves of light travel at the same uniform speed as the heat waves, the one accompanving the other and impivgiug upon an object synchronously. The latter, however, lose their force and intensity sooner than the former, and though the light wave continues to travel on through space, its companion wave’ gradually ap- pears to be deprived of its energy, and eventually ceases to exist.
But in the great Universe there is one vast and supernally glorious place, which has “no need of the sun or the moon to shine upon it, ” but which notwithstanding the dazzling brilliancy of the scene, flash- ing in many coloured beams of light, and refulgent in glittering rays of glory, in- finitely surpasses anything else in Crea- tion, for “the glory of God doth lighten it,”
and He who is the Light of the world 18 |

now selling for $5,000 each.
Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in bis trading post investments to have on hand ample capital to carry out his plans, and there is no man living who is better posted
on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoiture—a man ot iron as one must_needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age o: about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked
an abundince of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observi the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley — which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.
When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the
Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (for modern journalism does this, annihilating time and spece), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and now people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukon Valley. As we have already said, there is no man alive today who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. What makes his talk of it specially interesting and reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the year, but from steady living there through the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke aud its tributaries,
In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes.
