Why Albino: Do Not Seo`Well. _ According to Dr. A. D. Williams. the white, tiaxen hair of albinos shows that there is a deciency of. coloring materials in their bodies. Further proof of this fact lstound in the ab- 7 sence of the necessary amount of pig: ment in their eyes. Such persons have pink eyes because there is not pig- ` ment enough in the-iris and upon its posterior surface to prevent the red re- ex of the (undue from shining through the iris.

Long. before seven o'clock the doors were closed, and no one, whether with. or without a ticket, was allowed to enter Queen's Hall. A large crowd thronged the street and the adjacent thoroughfares, but `both sides "of the street were lined with police, standing shoulder to shoulder, and a large posse patrolled the middle of the road, mak- ing. every one move on.

This would not have been but for the presence of the police.`hundreds of whom, mounted and afoot, prevented the crowd, which was estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000, from rushing Into the hall. Had the crowd succeeded in doing this there would unquestionably have been a serious riot, i As it wss, the speakers got n hearing, although they were constantly and noisily interrupted by a considerable minority of those present. There were frequent objections by the stewards, who, `however, gradually thinned the opponents of the meeting out, and nal- -ly the majority carried `resolutions con damning the Government for its policy in South Africa, end demanding` that an immediate o'er of terms of peace be made to the Boers, this o'er to include a promise of complete independence. Meanwhile there was considerable disorder outside the hall, and in spite of the rain thousands of persons stood cheering for Earl Roberts, Lord Kitch- ener, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, and Lord Milner. They waved ags, and constantly tried to rush the hall. The police charged the mob. several times and some persons were iniured.

The reports of the Scotch railways tor the winter half-year show that they have been heavily hit on ac- count of the high price of coal. For- tunately a` reduction in the price of `this fuelthas been intimated, and al- ready prospects for the current half- year are distinctly brighter. Rail- ~way managers are hopeful, but at the same time it is impossible to say what is going to happen in the Scotch coal trade in the near future. It is in a "very unsatisfactory posi- tion, and if a ten days or fortnight- ly policy is followed out by the men, or if a strike takes place in conse- quence of _the masters resisting this proposal, the output of coal will be restricted i and prices will be main- tained to the great detriment of legitimate `trade. In view, however, of what is taking place in England, where in the Midlands there is a heavy decline in prices, `it is hoped that the Scottish miners will do no- thing to bring about a `dislocation of trade. .
