The report of the Asylums Commitâ€" tee of the London â€" County Council shows there has been an alarming inâ€" crease in lunacy during the last nine years, and especially in London. While the population of London is 14.59 of the inhabitants of England, London‘s proâ€" portion of insane persons is 19.87, Dr. Cloye Shaw, an expert on the subject, says:â€"‘*‘"There is no doubt, that as regards the future of lunacy, we are doing all in our power not to stamp it out, but to increase it." This is largeâ€" ly due to the want of asylum accommoâ€" dation, the technically cured being disâ€" charged before they are really cured, and thus adding further chances 4or transmitting lunacy. _ _ y About two weeks ago, Mme. von Valtheim applied to the Home Secreâ€" tary for an order to have the hbody exhumefl, as she Lbelieved it to be that of her husbank.

TORONTO ‘ Autiquity of the Art Established by Reeent. ‘ ly Discovered Lasertpttons. The earliest miners and metal workâ€" ers of whom we have record were the Aryan peoples of Euroâ€"Asian origin, who, though of pastoral and boreal habits, were familiar with the metals and worked with themâ€"at least with the metals gold, silver and bronze. Chaldeans and Assyrians, as we now know from the cunciform inscriptions which go back 3.000 years B.C., were unâ€" doubted!y expert in the use of metals, while the Egyptians had an intimate knowleige of the arts and sciences. In the brick and other inscriptions recentâ€" ly discovered, artisans are seen at work . with curious deiails of their methods and tools Potters, indeed, had atâ€" tained eminence in their art, and the Egyptians had certainly a knowledga of chemistry, as the samples of their glassblowing alfl the stone pictures of too!s, forceps, blow pipes, etc., prove. Gold was largely md".?.n early perâ€" iodâ€"between 4,000 and 5,000 BC., as we find from some newly discoverodl‘ and ingenious weighing bwances. Many centuries older than the pyramids, | which date from fifty to sixty centurâ€" | ies back, we have examples of engineerâ€" ing in Memphis which could not hcvol been constirucied without tools and neâ€" | cessarily an acquaintance with metals. The word ‘‘metals" is of Semitic orâ€" iginâ€"the Hebrew word " mata‘s," to f'o;;ie. indicates an early acquaintance ith the fusing of ores and the malleâ€" . in its time one of the strongest and largest fortresses in the world. Capable of containing an army of 40,000, it was at once the admiration of the Moors and the droad of the Spaniards. The Moors called it the Maiden Fortress, and hbad a superstition that when it fell the Moorish power in Spain would come to an end. The belief was justiâ€" fied by the event, for Kalâ€"alâ€"Hamrahb, the Red Castle, was the last Moorish stronghold to surrender to the Spanâ€" iards, it being given up the year before the discovery of America, and the eight centuries of constant war between the Moors and the Spaniards was hro_u%ht to a close. The dainty palace within the walls of the huge fortress was the work of Iin el Abmar, and was inspired by his love for his wife Telika was her name, some say Zele‘ka, and others gave her various appellations, so she may have had mora names than one, but, no matter what was her name, she found life in the great fortress, rather dull, and, to please her, llm el Abmar began the elegant palace as a bhome for her and a refuge for himâ€" self from the cares of business and. the fatigues of war. It proved too long and expensive an undertaking for his life and pocketâ€"book, but his son und! grandson each was bountifully supplied . with wives, whom they were anxious . to please, so it was continued by the one and finished by the other in 1314, over sixty years from the time when . its foundations were laid. i A Monament of Loveâ€"Origin of the Famons Palaceâ€"8ixty Â¥ears in Building.

There are ten countries in which the State idoes not control the railways, namely Great Britain, Colombia, Mexico, FParaguay, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States and Uruguay.

These are Argenâ€" tina, Australia, Austriaâ€"Hungary, Belâ€" gium, Brazil, Canaja, South Africa, Chili, Deintmiark, France, Germany, Guatemala, India, Jazpan, Norway, Porâ€" tugal, Russia and Sweden. Egypt and Nicaragua own and control practi alâ€" ly all their railways, while Greece,. Holland and Italy own part of their several systems, but donot work any, leasing ail the present mileage to joint stock companics. In Canada about oneâ€": tenth of the total mileage is owned and controlled by the Government,. which loses something like £100,000 per . annum on its proportion. I the beginning of last year.

Of this total 19,700 miles must be credited tolndia, 2,950 miles toJapan, and 2,300 miles to Rusâ€" sia, the others being Dutch India, 1,260 miles, Asia Minor, 1,100 miles, Ce_y- 16,230, and Mexico and Central Amerâ€" ica the restâ€"a matiter of 7,640 miles.
