The death of a young woman by mal- practice and the suicide of her lover. an officer, to escape his disgrace, have led Jules Lemaitre, Academician, play- wright and critic, opposed to Zola and his school, to make a defence of such operations. The Comte de Medrano set a spring gun so that it would discharge on open- ing the door of his pheasantry, near Mons. He forgot all about it in show- ing his place to some friends recently, and on turning the handle of the door received the full charge in his breast. dying on the spot. A public laboratory for scientific in- vestigation, named the Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory, has been opened at the Royal Institution in London. It is established by a gift of half a mil- lion dollars made by Mr. Mond, the al- uminum manufacturer.

Paris is afflicted with a plague of rats, which have been driven from the river side and the sewers by the re- cent freshe’ts. They have settled in the Halles Centrales and the Palais Royal, but in some outlying districts they scour the streets in bodies. Le Havre has just rejected an offer of 100,000 francs for a convalescent home made by a merchant of; the town, on condition that the Town Council should provide the 8,000 francs needed for plans and preliminary expenses.

Georges d’Avenel, in the Revue des Deux Mondes, has been able to find, was $83 a metre given by Louis XIV. for the cloth of gold material for a dressing gown.

A tidal wave during the recent sev- ere storms completely covered the lit- tle island of Sein, near Penmarch Point in Brittany, carrying off the stock and flooding the houses of the 300 inhabit- ants. The salt and sand left by the sea. will render the arable land on the island barren for three years to come. There was no 'loss of life, however. Simi- lar catastrophies have occurred before, in 1756, at the beginning of Louis Phil- ippe’s reign, and In 1865. In the same storm the sea broke through the dunes near Penmarch‘, icovering large tracts of land behind them, which are below the sea level. ROUND IHE WHUlE WURID.
