An invention of much practical value has just been patented by Mr. Frank Della Torre, of Baltimore, Md. It is a means for disclosing obstacles to navigation by means of the microphone. With this device the noise of surf, the whistle of a eteamer and other indications of danger can be heard distinctly at a distance of several miles. The device is adapted to every kind of vessel, large and small. The cost is said to be quite reasonable. The principle of this invention involves the use of an echo as a danger signal. The method depending so!e y upon the sense of hearing is available when it is most needed, that is, at night and in thick and foggy weather.
It is reported that American capitalists, in anticipation of the early completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, are begin- ning to invest in British Columbia. Sagi- naw lumbermen have bought 3,000 acres of timber land near Seymour Narrows. The timber is Douglas fir, tall and shapely and witheut a knot for 90 feet. It is estimated that this grove will yield 150,000,000 feet. Douglas fir is worth $50 per thousand at San Francisco. Other American compan- ies are buying coal lands asd exploring the mineral regivus of Cariboo and the Colum- bia. There 1s little doubt but that a very large amount of American capital will be attracted to the Northwest and the Pacific province upon the completion of the national highway.
The word ‘‘charivari’’ is used through- out a large portion of the west, and de- soribes the attention which a howling, music-mad country crowd pay to a newly married couple.

against the pans and howling, ‘Haro! / Hero!” or (i the south of England and France) “Hari! Hari!” In 1563, the 'Q@ouncit of Trent took the matter up, and } solemnly interdicted ‘‘charivaris,” under
