Most people who have been the sport of the sad sea waves will be attracted by the paper. They must not be disappointed, however, in hiuding |that as yet its advantage 1s enjoyed only | by searchlight projectors, but must hope, subject of this | aa they may with reason, that before long it will be extended to suffering humanity Probably some one, at first sight of the problem, will suggest that this object may be attained without much difficulty by connecting, in some way, the to—be—stead ied object with a pendulum, or by con- verting it into a pendulum by suspending it on a pivot and ballasting heavily belew, and he will point to the bow! of the mar iner’s compass or to the swing table com- | monly used on board yachts as examples of objects steadied by thismeans. But if he will look along the top edge of the cem pass bow], or the table, at the horizon, he will see that the steadiness thus obtained ‘a of the same order as that of a ship’s deck. The ship itself is a pendulum kept aright in still water by ballast, a.d causes whichh make it depart from uprightness act the like etfect on pendulums placed upon it The tirst practical machine to insure steadiness of objects at sea was fitted up on a steam vacht and subjected to a laborious course of experiment by the captains of Her Majesty’s ships Vernon and Excell- ent, the torpedo and gunnery ships at Portsmouth, England, as a means of both search-light projectors and machine guns. It has, im consequence, been fitted to gunboats in the British navy. On the machine, as mounted on the yacht, a seat was provided on which # per son could sit and observe the steadiness by looking along sights at the horizon. wth mounting The sensation of steadiness while seeing the ship rol'ing an i pitching about under one was a curious one, and many people who tried it excla med that here at last was alleviation, if not a perfeet rem edy for seasickness. Itis true that the | rising and falling motion is still there, but this can be toa great extent avoided by taking a position somewhere about midway between the bow and stern. Butthe ang ular motion of pitching and rolling ts equally great in all parts of the ship, and can be escaped only by some such contri- vance as here considered. A small cabin kept steady by an apparatus of this kind could be easily fitted on the English chan nel steamers for seats, in which many persons would be glad to pav a high price on a rough day, ——p << DREADFUL POSSIBILITIES. (New York Evening Post.) It is quite an education for young men to see the Jingo mind playing round the problems of government. It is fair to pre sume that it will carry on war with the same knowledge, skill, decision anl fore- thought which it is now lavishing on the national finances. Finance and war are really from the political point of view the sane thing, money being the sinews of war. Consequently we may fairly expect to see the Naval Reserve despatched against the British irorclads in fast eail- ing Sound sloops, while a sele detach- ment of silver men will lure the enemy or to the rocks with false lights. Montreal and Ottawa will be blown up with dyna mite dropped from balloons by enraged Irisha.en, and New York and Boston, will be burned tothe ground to eave them trom the enemy, and immense quantities of American goods will be thrown ashore in Great Britain by the American line of steamers, so as toclose the British fac tories. Consols will be sold at 50 to avenge the recent brutal sacrifice of our securities by ruffianly Englishmen. Of course, these operations will be crit: cised by people who go to Ewrope every sum- mer, and read European books about war, but every man with a true American heart in his breast will say that this is the true American way of ‘getting even’ with an insolent foe. Is not the popul.r loan criticised, and also the plan of digging American money out or the earth for the needs of American business? This war is going to be carried on inthe American way, end sneerers will have to go to the rear. Compulsory Cheese Branding, Ortawa, Jan. 17. Hon.

Central Drug Store, NORTH SIDE OF QUEEN SQUARE. janl7 TELEGRAPHIC, SpreoiuaL DesrpaTours TO THe Examiner A NICE QUESTION IN PRO- CEDURE How the Grits Fear Sir Charles Tupper. Montreat, Jan. 17. When the High Commissioner to Great Britain arrived in Canada, the President of the Board of Trade was deputed to ask him to address the board on Preferential Intercolonial Trade, Fast Atlantic Service and the Pacific cable, and Sir Charles Tupper fixed Monday at 3 o’clock as the time of his address, thus ecunomizing time on his way to Cape Breton. A num- ber of the Grit members ot the board now strongly object to the address, claiming that it will have more or less political complexion, As Secretary of State they object to Sir Charles addressing _ the board, but they had none to Canada’s High Commissioner doing so. There was talk of making a strong representation to the council for the meeting to be abondoned, and some steps in this direction will probably be taken to-day. The Grits dread Sir Charles Tupper’s ad- vent tothe House of Commons. With re ference to the position of Sr Hibbert Tup- per, it appears that Sir Mackenzie Bowell stroagly urged him to re-enter the minis- stry, The friendliest feeling has always existed between the two. I: was felt, however, after consultation between Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Hibbert that it would be undesirable for the two gentle. men so Closely connected to he members of the same Government. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, therefore, offered Sir Hibbert the position of High Commissioner in London, but, while appreciating the ofter, he felt that he could not entertain it, preferring to remain in the House of Commons as an independent sup- porter of the Government. Your correspondent is officially inform- ed that for the present there will be no appointment to the High Commissioner's otfice. The administration of the office is to remain under the direction of the Sec- retary of State in the same way as in 1887 and 1888, when he held the position of Minister of Finauce. Of course there will be no emoluments attaching te the acting High Commissioner’s position, — PARLIAMENT OF CANADA, Debate on the Address, Laurier Still Within Torres Yedras, Orrawa, Jan. 17. ln the House of Commons yesterday, Mr. Powell, of Westmoreland, moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne, making a splend‘d impression. Major McGillivray, of North Ontario, seconded it with a capital speech. Mr. Laurier iv the course of his speech ref-rred to the Manitoba school quaestiou. He said that the elections in Manitoba had indicated what the feeling of the Province war, The Manitoha Government was in favor of considering the claims of the Catholic minority, and if the grievances were found to exist to give them that measure of relief which they asked. Both the parties in Manitoba were agreed on this point. Under these circumstances the Parliament of Canada should be careful in the course it pursued. He sym pathized with his compatriots in Manitoba He would wish to see them have their educational privileges restored, but he held that it was in the power of the Legis- lative Assembly to restore them. There was an indeacribable repuguance in his mind to substitute the wiil of the Federai body for the will of the Loca] Legislature. Hon. Mr. Foster in his speech dealt with the School Question. He said that it was evident that Mr. Laurier was still within the lines of Torres Vedras, While desiring to see Catholic privileges restored, the Opposition Leader took a definite and = clear position that the request of the minority must be granted or denied, as the circum- stances of the case warranted. Mr. Laurier would have this much to comfort him. Thetime was coming when the lines of Torres Vedras would no longer shelter him. (Hear, hear.) He would have to place himself in a position that would compel him to give a logical answer to this question. Sir Richard Cartwright denounced the government for its course on the School Question. Hon. Mr. Dickey, adverting to the school question, said that itwas clear that the Grits wanted to turn it to their party ad vantage. Thus Laurier pretended that he did not want to make pol tical capital out of it, Lut he forgot the ute he gave in 189% on a motion which was intended to catch the vote of all extremists. Mr. Tarte and other Grits then demanded prompt action by the Government, and had condemned all ap- peals to the country. But now that the hour of action had arrived, they wanted a commission. (Cheers.) The House adjourned. THE SENATE. The addresswas debated in the Senate.
