Sir Lovis Davirs says that be desires In proof of his sincerity he has had two con- ventions of lobster packers, and a lot of talk.

Pvs.ic oprnion has apparently caused a modification of the measure which Prem- ier Hardy contemplated paseing in order to save the Liberal party in the Province of Ontario. It is now given out that the Premier dors not propose to confirm his support- ers in seats they may be held to have been illegally elected to, tut only to give them another chance of securing them. The question raised over the paid election con~ stables’ votes is to be referred for decision to the Coart of Appeal, if decided against the Goverament’s contentions, the constables are to be freed from alty for illegal voting, and

THE HUMANITY OF WAR.

A Milan correspondent of the Frank~ furter Zeitung writes :--“The effect of the pew guus proved during the 1ecent riots 10 beofaternible description. By far the greater part of the wounded are doomed to die. The real number of those killed during tbe riots cannot remain.a secret much longer, 4¢ too many are in the secret; ceitain itis thas there are considerably

more than the official number, And the number of the wounled is extraordinari y large.

Regarding the action of the nev Batliesite

guus, I have obtained the fullowing intor-

mation from medical men both in and out | of the army. Exprriments bad been made in Florence and Milan by firing at large tiu boxes filied with wet bran, the specific weight and density of which about equal to that of the human brain. Ata distance cof 560 to 600 yard«the boxes exploded in mary pieces, flying in al! dirsctions.

“Tue explanation of this effect was be~ lieved to lie inthe extreme velocity of the new projectiles. Where the bullet finds a siroug obstacle, it imparts its movement, transformed into molecular motion, to the resisting ol ject. The contents of the box —or of the skull—seek forcib!v to escape in all directions, and thus break the box, or the skull, This explains why all who received awound in the head present the the same terrible spectacle. In all of these crses the whole top of the skull is blown off like the lid of a box, and the brain forced out. Ifthe ba!l bits ao passes through, but if it hits # bone, it shatters ii acd buris the pieces in ali di- rections, the c@nsequence being that al! whose limbs are hit 1n the body must die. Atthe same time, the sufferings of the wounded are so horritle that it has been necessary to put many of them inate Straight jackets to save them from their own ftrautic movements.”
