Rvssian Gunboat Flotilla for thu Amoor

According to the St. Potersburg Press, the Russian government has decided upon the construction of a flotilla of shallow- draught gunboats for service on the river Amuvor. agitation for the defence of the Amoor, which has sprung up in Russia in conse- quence of the publication of an article by Charles Marvin in the Army and Navy Magazine on “The Value of Port Hamilton.” In this article that well known writer on Russian politics sug- gested that in the event of a war with Russia in the future, the Britieh fleet should not waste its energies on superfluous cruising in the Baltic and Black Sea, but using Port Hamilton as a base, wrest Viadivostock and the Amoor from Ruasia, and annex the whole Pacific littoral of Siberia. Although this suggestion provok- ed little attention in this country owing to the election excitement, it has occasioned a sensation in Russian naval circles, and from what has transpired during the con- troversy, Mr, Marvin seems to have placed his finger upon a very weak spot of Russia’s defence. {In all the Amoor region the Russians do not number 100,000 souls, and the 5,000 troops garrisoning the huge harbor of Viadivostock are engulfed by hostile Chinese. As Russia could not send reinforcements te the Pacitic littoral in less than six months, while England via the Cansdian Pavific Railway can land troops at Viadivostock in 26 days, we have, thanks to Canada’s patriotic energy, secured an advantage which, with the annexation of Port Hamilton, ‘has clarmed Russia very much. Hence Viadivostock is to be strengthened without delay, and six gun- boats are to be ordered of foreign firms for the defence of the River Amoor. As the Amoor is very shallow at its mouth, the gunboats are to be stern wheelers, and are not to draw more than 3 feet of water,— English Engineer.

A Wonderfully Strong Safe.

The millionaires of San Francisco deposit their hoards in a public coffer-fort, which has not perhaps its equai in the world, Ie is under the direction of a responsible society. This notable treasure-house was constructed in 1875, and is considered absolutely secure against fire and thieves. It has two entrances, each closed by three folding Coorr, one behind the other. These doors are made of wrought iron nearly six inches thick, and are covered with plates

of iron connected by thirty-two steel bolts. The two interior doors of each entrance are furnished severally

with a couple of combination locks, and two holders of keys are required to turn the keys in the locks at the same moment.

Each fock on the two doors has its sepa-

rate combination, known solely to the keyholders, so that in case of the sudden death cf any one of the four men who possess the secret, the means of access to the interior of the coffer fort would be temporarily at an erd. To guard against such a contingency, each keyholder is required to deposit the secret of his special combination in a bank, within a sealed envelope, addressed to the director of the society, and only to be opened in case of death. Over and above these elaborate precautions, the exterior door of each entrance is bolted by a clockwork arrange-

ment, and cannot be opened except at certain hours, frequently altered by the director: so that if the loyalty of the keyholders were at any time hangs undermined or bought over, the treasurd: would atill be protected by means of the clockwork. Inside are 4,600 mon@y chests,

hired by the depositors, and arranged in three corridors. Thess ponderous iron safes likewise have combination locks, each regulated by the owner of the depos t. ‘The key-hoies are covered by :hields, which can only be opened by the clerks of the society; one of whom accompanies every depositor to disengage and replace the shield. Lastly, the treasure-house is constantly watched by keepers, bound to telegraph a notice of its safety every half hour to the principal police ofthen. The Marquis ‘of Lorne c on the Irish Problem.

The Daily New: publishes an interview with the Marquis of Lorne ia which he said: ‘* Little can be learned from Canadian and American experience in favor of what Mr. »)}Gladstone calls devolution. On the con- trary the American government found it necessary io curtail the powers of colonies and the states devolved powers on the Federal Government in order to preserve the union. Ireland's welfare depends upon unity to enable her to borrow money on easy rates for local purposes, for which the Canadian aystem is ample. True this fails to satisfy uationalisis, but freedom which the nationalists desire means grstificatio n of vanity at the expense of life long misery. Nobody would lend money to such a state. Seccession would mean death in.waras in America. If a parlia- ment be again seen in Dublin, patriotic Irishmen, equally with Englishmen and Scotchmen, will insist on gusrantees of vital limitations, not merely promises but essential as part of its existence. The maintenance of an armed force under imperial power would be a most vital

limitation.

Early Stage of Inebriewy.

There are found in all parts of the country men and women who use alcohol regularly and in limited quantities. To the casual cbserver they go on for years in this state, and are apparently no worse, and finally die at last of some common disease, leaving the reputation of having lived what the inebriste would call an ‘‘ideal life” of moderate drinking. Why they drink is not clear. lf they have any reasons, it is al- ways sustained by their unbounded faith in the capacity to abstain at any time at will. These cases are Mebriates in every respect, except in the prominence snd intensity of the symptoms. There is no difference be- tween the chronic case of the lowest tyne ‘and the highly respectable, moderate drink- er, except one of degree.

Both are suffering from a positive physi- al disease, Inone case the disorder is developed. In the other it is in the inei- pient stage. In the latter, from some obscure reason, the case never goes op to fuli development, but is always on the ‘border land,” awaiting the action of some exciting cause, which may cr may not be applied. A repelling power exists, which builds up and naturalizes the injuries received from alcohol to a ceriain extent. It is not will power which makes theo dif- ference between the inebriate and moder- ate drinker. It is physiologicul and pathological conditions of the brain and nervous system, which the possessor ascribes to will power. Alcohol cannot be used in moderation without grave injuries to the nerve centres.

Thc moderate drinker is always diseaaed, although to the non-expert ilere are no clear symptome or coarse lessions that can be seen. A careful study will reveal physically an irritable condition of the heart, with stomach and digestive troubles, also changing and disordered functional activity of all the organs, at times. Psychically the disposition, habits, temper, and mental state slowly and gradually degenerate and become more unstable. The higher mental forces drop down or give place to lower motives and ambitions. No matter what his position of life may be, or his objects or plans, the moderate use of aleohol will alter and break down both physical and psychical energy and precipi- tate Cestruction. Moderate users of alcohol always die from diseases provoked and stimulated by this drug. They always transmit a legacy of defective ceil energy and exhaustion, which most readily finds relief in any alcohol or narcotic.

But only a small per cent. of moderate drinkers remain so until death. The dis- ease goes on to full development in inebrity, in a vaat majority of cases. - The boast will power to stop at all times is powerless be- fore its peculiar exciting cance. Those who never go keyond this moderate use have simply never been exposed to this peculiar exciting caase. The moderate use of spirits for a lifetime is a mere accident in the order of nature, and the ability to stop, resting in the will power, is a popular

fallacy. A certain’ number of cases have

signs of incipient phthisis, which may never burst out in the full disaase.

A small number of cases exposed to smallpox, or any infectious disease. never take it ; but these are the rare exceptions, whose causes are unknown, from which no deductions can be drawn Moderate

drinking that does not go on to inebriety is also the exception. The chain of exciting causes that bring on these exireme stages

may or may not be understood, but they always break out sooner or later in the history of the case. Practically the study of this early stage of inebrity 's of the utmost value in the treatment. Here remedial measures cun be made of the greatest avail in checking and preventing any further progress of the disease. When inebriety is fully recognized as a diseased condition, requiring study and medical care, this prodromic period of moderate drinking will receive the attention it deserves. >

In the meantime, as ecientific men, we must continue to call attention to this early beginning of inebriety, so fall of indica- tions and hints of the march of diseese. whose progress and termination can often be predicted with positive certainty.— Journal of Inebriety.
