The railroad sjatem of Japan has at- tained a length of 226 miles, and is In- ereasing steadOj. It has been mainly bnllt by the Japanese Government with native capital. The bosiness resnlts ap to the present time have given no cause for dissatisfaction. Some time i^o the discovery was made by M. Oh. Montigay, by the means of a beaatifol insjniment called the sclntillo- meter, that blue largely predominates in the twinkling of the stars when there is mach water kt the atmosphere, and that the preponderance of green or violet is Indicative of a great dimness. Salphoric acid will remove spots from brass that will not yield to oxalic acid. It may be applied with a brush bat great care mast De taken that no drop of the add shall coma In contact with clothes or akin, as it is ralnoos to garments and to aatide. Bath brick or rotten-stone may bo nsed for polishing, the latter being preferable for delicate work. Mr. F. W. Clark has exhibited in Lon- don a new system of gas lighting for pri- vat* hoases by means of recaperatlve lamps. By a ventilating arrangement the lamps consame their own smoke, and the bomers are so formed that the requi- site air is heated to a high temperatare and admitted into the lamps at the point of ignition. Mr. Wolff's treatment of writers' cramp seems to be making steady progress In fopular estimation. It consists of a com- ined application of massage, gymnastics, and caligraphic exercises. Any sufferer from that annoying and distressing species af cramp can devise a special system of relief by noting the objects aimed at by the method adopted by Mr. Wolff. When tempering cold chisels or any other steel articles heat to a very dull red and rob with a piece of hard soap, then Snlsh heating and harden in clear, cold water. The potash of the soap prevents the oxygen of the atmosphere from uniting with the steel and forming rust or black oxide of iron. The article will need no polishing to enable the colors to be seen. This will be appreciated when tempering traps, dies or various complex forms not not easy to polish. Never " upset" a csld sbiseU It is sure death to the stepl. Paper slippers are the latest form in irhich paper is introduced in new inven- tions. An Englishman has patented a system of manuf Mturing slippara, sandala and other coverings for the feet out of paper. Paper pulp, or paper mache, ia employed for the upper, which is moulded to the desired form and size, and a sole ia provided made of paper or pasteboard, leather board, or other suitable paper ma- terial, which la united to the uppers by means of cement, glue, or other adhesive siaterial. The upper ia creased, emboss- ed, or perforated at the instep or sides, which renders them somewhat pliable and prevents their cracking while in use. AS ILLU8TB ATEP HIBIOB^OF BKBETiLTOJ. ' **iujnauxaD waA mwa." w"!|k An Unexpected Result. At a recent sham fight in England the commanding officer of the attacking force, which was expected to advance airectly against a strong position, departed from bis instructlona, and, taking advantage of a heavy mist, out flanked and dispersed his opponents, driving them pell mell down hill. The result was precisely the reverse of what had been arranged for; but aa it was a good deal more lue war than the scheme laid down in the instructions, the Government does net feel like censoring the daring officer, who, by the way, be- longed to the marines. As the assailanta were mainly salloris and .marines landed from a fleet supposed to be hostile, the whole affair was roted by them to be ** a jolly lark, " and an Instructive lesson to the amateur soldiers who were defending the position. Everybody has laughed so heartily over the affair that the Goverment professes official ignorance of it.

Antiol' Kting tiiis demanil, the Or^ Printing and iblishing Company of Tmnto have de- elped to snpply the want, and have adopted a some what novel and interssting plan for doing so. They propose to issue two grand souvenir nnmbers of«ie Canadian Pictorial and lUastrated War NewB, vdiich wl'l be a complete letter-press and iUostrated history of the late rebellion. The first of these parts has jost been Issued and otmtains a complete history of the rebellim from its in- ception np to the Battle of Ilsh Creek. Be- sides the letter-press history, it contains a large number of very fine illnstrations, amongstwhichare th«folIcwing â€" "The Bat- tle of Duck Lake," "The Sacking of Battle- ford by Hostile Indians," 'Escape of the McKay Family through thelce," 'Captareof White Cap's Band by the Govemor-Grener- al's Body Guard," "How Her Majesty's Mails Travel through the Hostile Country," "Tbe Battle of Fish Creek." "Murder of the Priests by Wandering Spirit," "Heroic Defence of Fort Pitt." Also a grand alle- gorioal two-page Supplement entitled "Ca- nada's Sacrifice." In addition to these illnstrations there Is given away with this first part a magnificent plate In three colors of Generl Middletou and the commanding officers of the different Battalions on duty in the North-West. Amongst others in tiie group are the follow- ing: â€" Major-General Middleton Major- General Strange, Lord Melgnnd, Col. Otter, Col. Van Straubenzie, CoL Williams, CoL Montizambert, Col. Ouimet, Col. Grasset^ Col. Miller, etc. The Illnstrations, which have been made specially for this publication, have been compiled at great expense from the most authentic sources, including sketches from their special artist who Is accompanying General Middleton's expedition. The ar- tists engaged in the preparation of the illus- trations comprise the best talent available both in Canada and the United States, uid inclade the following: â€" W. D. Blachley, J. W. Bengough, J. D. Kelly, J. Hnmme, W. W. Wesbroom, A. Lamport, Wm. Bmi- gough. The hiatory ia from the pen of Mr. T. Arnold Haultaur, M. A., the author of " The War in the Soudan." There is no doubt that this illustrated history will be by far the moat valuable of any that may be publiahed, and when the two parte are bound together they will form a very attractive memento of Riel'a second rebellion. Li the yeara to come thoae who are fortunate enough to poaaesa a copy will have a volume that will be atudicMi with in- tenae interest by both young and old. We advise all our readers to lose no time in securing a copy of Part 1, and giving their order in advance for the 2nd Part, which is in preparation, and will be ready In a short time. The price of each part is 50c., which we consider is remarkably cheap, as for ttis price the publishers have compiled a work of which the letter press alone would make an ordinary book of about 150 pages, and in addition give 12 fall pagea of litho- graphed illuatratiouB. It is only by a very large sale that the publishera will make any profit, and they are certainly justified in anticipating a great demand for the issue. We have no doubt their anticipations will be realized. The souvenir number can be procured of all newsdealers, or from the office of publica- tion direct. ^SnSt^trSS^mT^ •^^^"^ffLCS^i^S^ treatiafr Mental and la blteUiif ;ak In ^g,-. wSlaend you fdlpartlorfanibf iu SL ^j We eensm* the t""""*^. *i JJjS?! whenweaietheriotima; we find iteharm- ing when we are the objects. •• la thna netalm in GfflMdl Is then no ptayrioiaii tlieiw r Thanks to ir.

When young Mr. Bignell returned from Lake Mistassini last fall, and con- firmed the rumor that ib was a very large body of water, a few sdentific gentlemen of Canada treated Ids story as a sensa- tional yam. They were sure his report was grossly exaggerated and they were rather amused by his statement that tiio lake they had visited wasLlttle Mlstassini, and that just beyond it was a vast inland 8e% called Great Mlstassini, of which the Canadian Survey expedition had never heard. Mr. John Blgnell, late leader of the Gavemment exploring party, has just re- turned,in aeoorcumoe wltiihis Instructions. He confirms In every particular Uie infor- matiH]i which hia son brought home last fall. His party have not been able to cir- cumnavigate the lake, but they believe It to be at leaatalx times as largoaa Little Mlstassini, which they have found to be 100 miles long. Mr. Blgnell says that in the portion tiiey have explored aeveral islands, about twenty miles long, each contalmng lakes of considerabla aita, have been discovered. The directora of the Canadian Geolc^cal Survey will pro- bably admit before long that they nanow- ly escaped making a great diseovety yeara ago, and the report which the exploring expedition will submit when its work is done, there is little doubt, will amply jnatlfy young Mr. Blgnell. There was no reason In the world, except profeeaional jealousy, to discredit him laat fall, aahis had the reputation of bdng a cotnpetent surveyor and a responsible man..
