Tanner, an officer of the Indian Survey, than geologists gener- ally suppose. This author has encountered four distinct kinds of avalanche. The first, and.most common, is the precipitation of a retain more than a limited quantity. These occur generally in winter and early spring. The second kind of avalanche is the descent of old snow, loosened by the heat of the sun. They may be heard throughout the sutamer and autumn, and though usually not of great extent or weight, are danger- Newfoundland Markets. Messrs. Clift, Wood & Co., make the following remarks regarding preseat and ears prospects of the Newfoundland mar- eS Oats—The stock is very light at present, and prices consequently rule very high, f ‘from 80 to 90 cents per bushel of 33 lhs., mass of new snow from slopes tuo steep to jand as we do not anticipate a large import this spring, we are of opinion that these prices wil] be maintained. _Porators—There is but a limited quan- tity here, most of which are this Island’s produce. Present quotations are from $1.80 to $2 per barrel. Much will depend ous from the unexpected and irregular manner in which they slide off. The third kind ean on!y be seen when the mountains | are of peculiar structure, and are really ice aad not snow avalanches. They are of very constant occurrence in some localities, more particularly where small glaciers are situated high up on the crest of mountains, and are gradually pushed over the edge. The fourth kind was seen by Col. Tanner but once, and not known to have been) described before. It is very curious, being | the movement of billions of snowballs about the size of one’s head, which, ina stream rolled up into the countless balls, is a mystery. Wearons For To-Dary.—The energy of modern artillery is something appalling, and threatens to deatroy friend and foe to- gether. A 67-ton gun on the British bat- tleship Trafalgar was pointed directly ahead and fired with 6.30 pounds of siow-burn- ing powder and a 125')-pound prujuctile. The blast produced by the rush of powder ‘gas and the shots were 8) tremendous that the plates of the forecastle were forced in ‘and the deck beams bent out of shape. A hint of what t] ffect might be on an enemy will be gi, .“ vt the Navel Exhibi- tion, where will be shown a projectile that has been fired from a 110-ton gun. This remarkable shot is said to have been driven in succession through a 20-inch steel plate, 8 inches of iron, 20 feet of oak baike, 5 feet of granifeand 11 feet of concrete, finally lodging at adepth of three feet in a mass of brick masonry. AN Isrexestine Exrermsnt.—A plan- tation of indiarubber was started by the government of Assam in 1873, in a forest atthe foot of the Himalayas. Seedlings by 1889°Vhey had reached the ground.

Antat Vorces.—In an interesting paper on the voices of animals, Mr. J. G. Hodg- son, au English eloeutionist, stated that in the mammalia the general structure of the larynx is like that of man; the power and character of the sound depending on the: differest degrees of development of the} vocal cords, and the peculiarizy of struc-! ture of the vocal organs. The timbre or’ quality of voice is remarkably distinct in’ the diferent classes of animala, and also: varies ia those of the same class. Lions— ‘and tigere, with their magnitude of chest, | make a rour that fills the ear with a sense” of horror, the depth of voice giving to the mind the idea of an enormous being. The i animals, The ass brays in a perfect octave, and one of his ejaculations has been copied by Haydn in his seventy-sixth quartette | with great success. The bark of the dog is: an instance of a voice acquired by domesti- | cation, much as the trotting of the horse is. an acquired movement. An ape, one of the Gibbons, produces an octave oi musical sounds, ascend- ing and descending the scale by half-tones, so that perhaps it alone of brute animals may be said to sing. The howling or preacher monkey of South America has a voice that can be heard two miles. horse neighs ia a descent on the chromatic soule without even omitting a semitone, being one of the most musically-voiced of no vocal cords. The chirp of the long- eared bat is said to be the,most acute ‘sound produced by any animal, and only i five out of six persons ean hear it. In 'yeptiles the larynx is ina rudimentary The crocodiles and caymen i make a feeble roaring sound. One kind of frog has a sound bag, evidently acting as & ' resonance chamber, on each side of its mouth. The tortoise gines a mere snuffling sound’ Snakes have no vocal cords, but produce a hisaing by expulsion of air through the narrow opening in the glottis. Most fishes are mute. Insects, such as crickets, grassshoppers and tees, have been considered more musicians than singers, most of their sounds being caused by friction of their wings or legs together or exact | The} giraffe aad the armadillo are voiceless, with on the importation as to future prices. A certain quantity will be required for seed, and for any special qualities, such as Roses, Beauty of Hebron, and such like, fancy figures will be given. Turnies—The very heavy duty on. this root almost prohibit the smportation, and consequently stocks are by no means heavy on hand, We quote $1.60 per barrel. Burrek—The butter at present offered for sale here is only of medium quality, and a really good article will bring paying( prices. We mast again refer to the heavily salted condition of the butter received from Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. The quality last year was exceedingly poor, and in- deed, it is easy to understand why oleo, of good quality and uniform, should have taken the place of butter fur fishing sup- plies. Pork, Fiour, Erc—Prices for these pro- visions depend entirely on quotativns from ae markets of the United States and Can- ada. Cattle, SxHeer, Erc—The importations of cattle so far have brought high figures, costing the butchers from 12 to 14 cents per lb. Sheep have sold from $8 to $12. As we understand that cattle are very scarce in Nova Scotia and P. E. Isiand prices here will keep high for some time to come, Har—This article has been exceedingly scarce lately and selling at famine prices, as high as $40.00 per ton being given in some cases. We hear of a large cargo daily ex- pected, after arrival of which prices will we think, rulefrom $22.00 to $24.00 per ton of 2,240 lbs. Quotations for this article depend entirely on the supply. LuMBER AND Suinetes—We expect some demand for ]-inch Spruce Board, and 2, 2, and 3-inch plank. Vhe market is well sup- plied with cedar shingles, as a large importa- tion came forward last season, a quautity of which is stil! on hand. Genrrar. Remanxs—The Seal Fishery this ep:ing has been the best for many years, the steamers, in almost every case, bringing in full fares. Although oil remains low, the price of skins hes advanced, and the results of the fishery have been fairly successful, This will, no doubt, give an impetus to com. merce; and should the cod-fishery this season be an improvement on late years, we way reasonably expect to see trade in general much brisker than heretofore. We therefore anticipate: the imports this year to be fully up to the average, and hope to obtain paying prices for all good consigned to car care. Eo _ _———— Canada’s Premier. The New York Press says: ‘Sir John A. Macdonald, the able Premier of the Do- minion of Canada, is in a condition of ill- health, which at his advanced age is giving his followers great concern. It was his dominating pereonal force alone which sav- ed the Government from defeat in the late elections in Canada, and his loss would bring the deluge which has been so long avoided by his skillful manipulation, and cut Canada off from England, either by separation and an independent government or by annexation to the United States. There is no public man in Canada who rises anywhere near to his stature in intel- lect and capacity for government, and the anxiety of his friends can, therefore, be fully appreciated.” The Preas has been misled by the Ot- tawa Munchausen. It is qulte true that Sir John was indisposed fcr afew days as a result of an attack of the grip, but he is now in excellent health and spirits, The ress’ estimate of the veteran Premier's ‘intelligence and capacity for goverament” is, however, abuut correct. =e | Weare bound to keep up our record for cheap crogkery.

Bullock, who is one of the exevutora of the estate, said that he did not know how the late Bishop's accounts stood in the old couatry, as his cu-executors have that part of the estate in their hands.
