that to abolish the duty would merely enrich the speculators, derange the equilibrium of the budget, work serious harm to the French cultivator, and bring not an iota of relief to the consumer.pee FAURE IN RUSSIA.REACHED CRONSTADT THIS MORNING, AND WAS GIVEN A HEARTY GREETING.London, Aug.23.\u2014The St.Petcrsburg correspendgit: of the \u2018Times\u2019 says that the Russian officers to be attached to the staff of M.Faure during his visit, will be of lower rank than those who were attached to Emperor William, but there will be more of them.Cronstadt, Aug.23.\u2014The French cruiser \u2018 Pothuau,\u201d with President Faure and his suite on board, arrived here at 11.30 a.m.President Faure will occupy the same apartments at the Peterhof Palace as were assigned to the Emperor William of Germany.Each evening the park will be illuminated by four hundred thousand lights.The sales of flags, colored globes and lanterns in anticipation of the President\u2019s visit have already been immense, and there is no doubt his reception will be of the heartiest description\u2014more national than that accord-d to the Emperor of Germany.The unicipality of St.Petersburg, which spent ten thousand roubles on the latter's visit, will spend a million roubles in its efforts to do horor to the President of France.The initials \u2018R.F.\u201d (Republique Francaise) and the intertwining of the national flags of Russia and France will form the leading feature of the general decorations.The central basin of the Alexander gardens has been converted info luminous fountains, while the trees afid lawns have been illuminated.The visiting French sailors will be entertained lavishly bh the management of the leading cafe concerts and music gardens who will provide free beer and free cigarettes for their refreshment.A number of \u201cbanquets have been arranged.At oue of them three thousand persons will be seated.Monster regattas, -bicyeling meets and other festivals have heen organized in honor of M.Faure, Military bands will play on all the sgnares and a choir of a thousand voices will sing the \u2018Marseillaise\u2019 at various points.- A {leat of a hundred and fifty vessels carried the general public to Cronstadt, where a warm welcome was aceorded the Fr:nch squadron.HOHPEFUL NEWS FROM INDIA.London, Aug.23.\u2014The \u2018Times\u2019 corre spondent at Simla says that good rains have fallen everywhere throughout India except in the districts of Bombay and Decca, and the crops promise to be exceptionally large.The numbers on the relief list are steadily diminishing, and evidences of famine are rapidly disappearing._ pp TAKES IN BELGIUM.London, Aug.23.\u2014A despâtch to the \u2018Times\u2019 from Brussels says the official \u2018Moniteur\u2019 announces tbât Great Brit ain has granted Belgian products the same privileges of entering Canada that have been already granted Germany.

DARLING\u2014At No.70 Coursol street, on the 21st inst, Dominion Steamship Line, declared that the width of the basins provided in Plan No.6 was quie sufficent.\u2018In fact,\u201d he continued, \u2018Plan No.8 is the only one that gives the accommodation to the steamship traffic of the port.The whole idea in Mr.Tarte\u2019s scheme seems to be, to: my mind, to spend a large amount of money in that portion of the harbor which had been provided for by Plan No.6, aud still not have sufficient accommodation to provide for any increase in the occan traffic.This would force the construction of new basins down below in the east end, which would mean that any steamers going down there would not run there a year.The cartage from the city to the east end,\u201d Mr.Torrance proceeded, \u201cwould be morc than the ocean freight, and any steamers that went down would have to d~pend entirely upon their through business with the railway companies.\u2018The whole shipping interest has agreed cn this No.6 Plan, and surely they ought to know something of their requirements.We do not want to keep in the rut, but we want to increase our business and keep abreast of the tims.Nothing but Plan No.6 will satisfy us.\u2019 [EO \u2014\u2014 THE LATE COL.HILT, The funeral of the late Col.C.F.Hill will take place to-morrow afternoon from St.Bartholomew's Reformed Episcopal Chwreh at two

NOW ANTICIPATED.Simla, Aug.23.\u2014A large force of Afri- dis have just been reported to be advane- ing down the Khyber Poss, and the so- calied Mad Mullah, or fanatical priest, who is inciting the natives of that territory against the British, is said to have collected the Mohammedans for an attack upon Miehni and Shabkadr.The Royal Irish regiment and one of representative native infantry, with a battery of mountain artillery, have been ordered to Kohat.Fighting is reported to be proceeding at Ali-Musje:l between the Afridis and the British garrison at that place.London.Aug.23.\u2014An official despatch from Peshawur announces that the Afri- div attacked Ali-Musjed this morning, and adds that they were attacking Fort Maud at 10.30 am.to-day.The enemy's line is a mile and a half long.Another body of Afridis, the despatch continues, is are said to have joined in the uprising, moving toward Kadam.All the Afridis , ister of Public Works, to the chairman of ; No.6, as adopted by the Harbor Board, : St.James street, when he perceived two men in a buggy driving towards him at a furious spced.Mr.Baynes tried to gêt out of the way, but he got jammed between the buggy and a cab, with the result that he was thrown to the ground, narrowly escaping serious injury.Constable O'Donnell, who witnessed the accident, arrested the occupants of the buggy for furious driving, and with the assistance of Constable Lavali¢e the men were taken to the Central station end the horse and \u2018vehicle were sent to th: pound.Mr.Baynes luckily escaped with a slightly injured foot.THE PRICE OF BREAD.ADVANCED TWO CENTS ON THE LARGE LOAF THIS MORNING.THE INCREASE LIKELY TO HOLD OUT FOR + SOME TIME.When householders got their bread this morning they found that the price had increased by one cent on the two-pound white loaf, and the same on the three- pound brown loaf, or in other words two cents on the four and six pound loaves respectively.The bakers claim that this was on account of the increase on Saturday of 25 cents a barrel on all grades of flour.This made an increase on July prices of $1.35 per barrel for strong bakers\u2019 and 31.535 for spring wheat patent of $1.45 per barrel\u2014 making the price $5.25 and $3.45 for strong bakers\u2019 and patent, respectively.Since the bakers made their increase of two cents for the four-pound white and six-pound brown loaf still another increase of 25 cents a barrel occurred to- patent $5.90 a barrel.\u201cIf this price holds,\u201d remarked Mr.J.M.Aird to a \u2018 Witness\u2019 reporter this morning, \u2018tbe price of brevl will have to advance again.An ndvane® of 31.55 a barrel is almost equal} to four cents a pound in the brown loaf, and if flour goes 25 or 30 cents higher the prices cf bread will have to be siill furthe: increased.* But if the price of flour goes down you wi!l, of course, lower the price of bread ?\u2019 queried the reporter.\u201cWell, when the prices dropped on the first of July, we, in common with other bakers, reduced the price of bread, although many bakers still held out.I hay say, however, that if flour was to drop only forty or fifty cents a barrel we would have to hold the price up.It would require a drop of at least a dollar before we could put down the price of bread.\u2019 \u2018I may also say,\u2019 he continued, \u2018that 1 do not believe that tbe bakers have taken any advantage of the market.They are not filled with flour.For myself, I have not a week\u2019s supply on hand.\u2019 Ar.Aird also added that the present prices of flour will put thirty cents a bushel for wheat into the farmers\u2019 pocket, because he had not yet sold his grain.alee A BICYCLIST HURT.While endeavoring to thread his way through a press of traffic at the corner of Bleury and Craig streets before nine o'clock this morning, Mr.Joseph Greaves of 520 St.Hubert street, had the misfortune to collide with an electric car.The car was golpg very glowly, but Mr.Greaves, having come down the St.Peter street hill, was not, and struck the car quite heavily, the shock throwing him to the ground alongside the car.There were no bones broken, or other injury, beyond a violent shaking up.An ambulance having Leen summoned, Mr.Greaves went in it to the ¢3eneral Hospital, and after a couple of hours\u2019 rest proceeded hace.LOCAL STOCKS.A STRONG PULL MARKET.WITNESS OFFICE, August 23,

Toronto.AMERICANS FOR MANITOBA.LARGE EXODUS EXPECTED FROM THE WESTERN STATES NEXT SPRING.Toronto, Aug.23.\u2014From reports received there is good reason to believe that there will be a big exodus of farmers from Michigan and other states into the Canadian North-West early next spring.Already the rush has commenced, and the Canadian Government's agents in the United States are sending large numbers from Michigan, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois and Idaho.Mr.M.V.Melnnes, the chief agent for the Canadian Government in Michigan, is receiving letters daily from intending settlers, who propose to try their luck in the great Canadian west.On her recent trip the Beatty line steamer \u2018Monarch\u2019 which left Windsor for Port Arthur took a party of a hundred and sixty people from Michigan, who are to settle on land in the North-West.Mr.MecTnnes has received a joint letter, sighed by Fred.Miller, Joan Striovski, Theodore Striovski and H.D.Keller, who left Michigan in a party to look into the prospects for settlement in Manitoba and the North-West.The letter says : \u2018After carefully looking over various parts of Manitoba and the Canadian west we desire to inform you that we have decided on the district between Alameda and the Moose Mountains for the location of our people.We have visited a number of most desirable locations and are highly pleased with the country as a whole, it being beyond our highest expectations.We find here a prosperous and well-contented lot of people.They have comfortable homes and their vast fields of wheat and other crops in addition to their herds of choice cattle indicate prosperity in the full sense of the word.\u201d The letter continues in further praise of the great Canadian North-West.THE COAL STRIKE.CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY PREPARING FOR ANY SHORTAGE.Toronto, Aug.23.\u2014So0 far the coal strike in the United States has not affected the railway companies here, although at the present time they are getting in very little coal from the other side The Canadian Pacific Railway is receiving eight or nine cars a day from Pittsburg ,and is commencing to draw on its reserve stock.If its coal supply was cut off altogether there is still enough on hand to keep this section of the road going for five or six weeks.Supposing this supply to be exhausted, there are about forty thousand tons stored now in Montreal, and by the end of the season of navigation there will be eighty thousand tons there.\u2018The coal from the Nova Scotia mines is brought to Montreal by steamer in summer on account of the cheapness of transportation.The Ontario supplies are brought } in during the winter usually.If the Ontario supply gives out, the Montreal stock can be drawn upon and coal can be brought from Nova Scotia all winter by cars.As it is now, all points east of Havelock are being supplied with coal from Montreal, which relieves the drain upon the stock of coal in western Ontario.With the facilities at their die- pceal

asked for a ruling as to whether French goods imported directly from France are, under the new tariff, enfitled to one-eighth reduction until the German and Belgian entreaties expire.When imported by way of any other country, they are not entitled to such preference.Much French goods come by way of England without breaking bulk, and local importers think that under the circumstances, goods from England being entitled to the same preference, it would be unreasonable to charge full rate.The Ottawa authorities have instructed that the duties be paid under protest.SUBSCRIPTION RATES.Daily

administrator of the Canadian Yukon country, which, it is to be hoped, will be widely copied in the American press, and will serve to correct the im- preesion which the jingo press sought to convey, that the United States miners in the Klondike might successfully resist the enforcement of the customs and mining regulations passed by the Canadian Government.Some of the Canadian papers\u2014which, in order to make party capital by embarrassing the government, and to that end have prophesied that the government\u2019s poliey would fail because American miner: would successfully resist or evade the collection of royalties and customs taxes\u2014would also do well to republish the \u2018Tribune\u2019s\u2019 article on the character of the man who has undertaken to execute that policy.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 BOGUS DEGREES.We print to-day a letter from the chancellor of the National University at Chicago complaining of an alleged statement in parliament by Sir Arthur Balfour (sic) that the British Government would consider the advisability of investigating the agents of the National University of Illinois who were offering degrees to worthy but impecunious scholars at a guinea apiece.Dr.Harkins calls this statement amazing and incomprehensible to the officers of his university and to himself.There seems to be a little \u2018trop de zele\u2019' in these adjectives, when a few lines lower down the chancellor himself tells us about a fraudulent person in London with two names who has been using the name of the university to gecure sums of a guinea or more for its diplomas or for decisions of its council.With these circumstances prominently before the authorities of this university, there would seem to be little ground for amazement or lack of comprehension ccneerning a newspaper despatch which narrates them as precisely as could very well be expected.This National University seems to be a remarkable institution.At the head of its letter paper it claims to have forty-five departments, conducted by eminent professors in universities, colleges, ete.(We should presume from the wording that these uni- vereities, colleges, etc., are other than anid outside of the National University.) It claims to afford instruetion to \u2018any person in any study\u2019 through \u2018direct\u2019 correspondence and to confer all degrees on resident and non-resident candidates.Among the affiliated institutions there are an institute of technology, a school of electricity, a business university, trade schools, an \u2018amanuensis college,\u201d whatever that is, a university academy, an academy of fine arts, a normal school and a Columbian conservatory.Whether these are included among the forty-five departments in which eminent university professors teach by direct correspondence or whether they are an addition to them is not made clear.Including at least one other university, the National University would seem to be a \u2018universitas universitatum.\u201d What is most amazing, however, is the statement on this same letter head that this remarkable university is \u2018modelled after the University of London.\u2019 wi THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.A FORTY-ONE-CENT DOLLAR.The most rational and captivating argument, and the one that did greatest service in converting the masses and even some thinkers in the United States to favor the monetization of silver, was a series of tables showing that the values of things varied with silver rather than with gold.Wheat was of course the strong man of this controversy.It was shown through a long series of years, indeed ever since the resumption of specie payments after the war, that wheat and silver had been falling in price as compared with gold by such equal steps that a bushel of wheat was almost always worth just about an ounce of silver.What more evident, then, than that it was gold that was through scarcity rising in value, and not silver that was falling, and that therefore silver was the truer medium of exchange, and that to make people pay in gold debts which they had contracted when gold was of less value was unfair, and that all that could be asked of them was to pay in silver, It was a long and recondite business to show the error of this argument, and the real fact that most of the good things which men enjoyrare actually produced cheaper from year to year owing to the improvement of processes or are rendered cheaper by the improvement of means of conveyance between many lands, and that the human beings of today are actually, as far as the abundance of the good things of this world is concerned, far better off than their fathers But the whole argument, as far as it was drawn from wheat, has been swept from the board by the changes in price since President McKinley eame to the throne, and especially during the las: month or two, during which wheat has been running up very fast and silv.r down, till to-day wheat is quoted at a dollar in New York, and the Mexican dollar, which is intrinsically superior to the American, is worth just forty-one cents.were.It was to have been expected that the first effect of the great increase in the quantity of gold which is being found all over the world, and of the prospect that this product will increase rather than diminish, would have been to enhance very appreciably the gold price of silver, gold being more abundant, and therefore of less value in comparison.Its effect, however, if it has had any, has been just the opposite.Silver hus tumbled precipitately and is tumblitig still.A telegram from Mexico to the New York \u2018Herald\u2019 which we printed a day or two ago, says the Mex:cans rscribe this fall in silver to a conspiracy abroad.Bankers there are represented as saying that a handful of men in London are manipulating the money of the world, which means that they are controlling the prices of the world.If bankers in Mexico really think this, it only shows how men interested in silver the world cver allow themselves to be deceived Ly the arguments with which they have deceived others.This talk about British gold-bugs was the stock-in-trade of the Bryan movement.It is inconceivable that money men in England should have any interest in continuously depressing the value of silver, and it is certain that they could not do it if they wished to.What determines the price of silver is the quantity of it on the market in proportion to the quantity wanted.The only gigantic manipulation that has been going on in the values of the precious metals has been the cornering and hoarding of uncountable millions of silver dollars in the United States treasury, a flood that must break loose some dav unless very farefullv guarded.In sympathy with this there has no doubt been a general holding back by holders of silver who hoped in case of Bryan\u2019s success to be able to unload with less loss than would otherwise be necessary.It is probable that the enormous gold discoveries rendering monetization less likely than ever, and following hard on their political defeat, has discouraged such holders and forced them to unload, thus bringing the market down by the run.The derangement brought by this de: preciation to countries whos: standard is silver amounts to» a calamity.It is bringing chaos to Mexico, and is likely to add another to the plagues of India ; though India will suffer less than Mexico, being a larger world in itself and depending less on foreign trade.The trouble in Mexico is that, though the dollar is worth less and less, goods are still being sold at the same prices as measured by it.This would be slow to do harm if the country had no business outside of itself, but it has proved disastrous to importers who cannot sell their imported goods at the prices they have to pay for them, while on the other alin MALI ea : \u201cet ss adh - A NES { Li 6 hand it has proved a fortune to manufacturers who pay wages, etc., in the silver dollar and sell abroad for the gold dollar.Manufacturers will also be able to demand at home the same gold prices which they get abroad, seeing that the people cannot import except for gold.The great depreciation of silver is disastrous also to the Mexican Government, which has to pay interest on the national debt in gold, while it collects taxes in silver at forty-one cents on the dollar.If the Mexicans import wheat at a dollar a bushel in gold they have to pay close on two dollars and a half a bushel for it in their money.It is worth remarking, however, that though there would be always enormous inconvenience in exchange should \u2018the Mexican dollar remain at its present rate, or indeed at any othor rate different from that of gold, the major part of the distress is due not to the fact that there is a difference betwoen the two standards, but to the changes which are constantly going on between the values of the two metals, making the difference greater or less.When the changes are slow, conditions are more tolerable, as prices accommodate themselves to the changed conditions.When these changes are rapid the distress becomes acute because prices take a gcod while to adjust themselves.In any case, prices and wages arc certain in time to adjust themselves.MUSKOKA SANITARIUM.HOME FOR CONSUMPTIVES OPENED ON SATURDAY AT GRAVENHURST.MANY PROMINET MEDICAL AND PROFESSIONAL MEN IN ATTENDANCE AT THE CEREMONY, Gravenhurst, Ont., Aug.23.\u2014Nearly a thousand people witnessed the ceremony of the formal opening of the Muskoka sanitarium in front of the handsome new administration building in the grove of the Sanitarium Park, Saturday afternoon.Gravenhurst, on Among those present were many of the most prominent public and professional men of the province, including about a hundred medicai men.All who were privileged to enjoy the event felt impressed with the great significance of the occasion, introducing as it has done, into this progressive country a system of benevolent enterprise for the relief and scientific treatment and cure of consumptives.After luncheon was served on the grounds, the chair was taken by Sir William Meredith, the vice- president of the association, who after a brief speech in reply to the address of welcome from the mayor and council of the town of Gravenhurst, introduced the following sgpeakears: Mr.W.J.Gage, of Toronto, the founder and benefactor; Mr.Chester Massey son of the late Mr.Hart Massey, who, with Mr.Gage, contributed principally to bring the institution to ils present state of perfection; Dr.Roddick, M.P.of Montreal, the incoming presi dent of the British Medical Association; Dr.Barnes, president of the British Medical Association; the Hon.Dr.Ross, Minister of Education; Prof.Remsen, of Johns Hopkins University; the distinguished chemist and author; Dr.Gould of the University of Pennsylvania; the author of \u2018Gould's \u2018Medical Dictionary\u2019; Dr.Geikie, dean of Trinity Medical College; Mr.Oliver Howland, M.P.P., of Toronto; and Mayor McNeil, of Gravenhurst.The speakers from abroad strongly expressed their opinion that the appointments of the building equalled in every respect, if not surpassed, any similar institution in the United States, or on the Continent of Furope.Already a few patients had been admitted prior to the opening, and the report of the medical superintendent showed remarkable evidence of the benefits of the institution.Applications are daily being received and it is expected that in a short time the place will be filled.The special train bringing in the members of the British Science Association and about seventy Toronto doctors arrived at two o\u2019clock in the afternoon.The ceremonies of the formal opening were at once proceeded with, the chair being taken by Sir Wm.Meredith.ee MARRIED IN GLENGARRY.Cornwall, Aug.23.\u2014A pretty event took place at St.Margaret's Church, Glen Nevis, when Miss Mary McDonald, daughter of Mr.Samuel McDonald, 4th Lancaster, was wedded to Mr.Dan.H.McDonald of Montreal.Mr.J.A.P.McDonald was groomsman, while Miss Annie McGillis, cousin of the bride, per formed the duties of bridesmaid.The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev.Father McRae, in the presence of a large number of friends.After the ceremony the wedding party drove to the residence of the bride's father where a sumptuous dinner awaited them.The day was pleas- artly spent till evening, when the happy couple, accompanied by their friends, drove to River Baudette Station, where they took the train, amid showers of rice and good wishes, to their future home in Montreal.The bride was the recipient of numerous presents showing the esteem in which she was held.pans) S : 227 108 ILS d He, ae ES SE NE NL POS TE a

COMMISSION DOES XOT CLAIM THE £800,000 DAT ANCE.BASES HIS REFUSAL UPON A LETTER FROM MR.COSTE, IIS OWN \u2018HUMBLE OPINION AND THE OPINION OF \u2018 MANY MEN OF WISDOM.\u2019 Mr.Tarte has definitely refused to sanction the compromise plan of harbor improvements submitted to him by the Harbor Commission, and prepared te- cause of his well-known antipathy to Plan No.6.Mr.Tarte bases his refusal to accept the compromise plan upon a letter from Mr.Coste, published below.Mr.Coste is an engimeer of such high attainment, that under another minister of Public Works, Mr.Ouimet, he filled up our harbor with two long piers making an acute angle with the shore: these piers being then in his opinion the most the harbor could accommodate and these angles the only ones at which ships could enter.Under Mr.Tarte, Mr.Coste is found to be a fervent admirer of three piers and a firm supporter of these piers jutting out at a right angle from the shore.Such engineering inconsistency puts Mr.Coste out of court.Mr.Tarte says that he will not be responsible for plans \u2018 which in,\u201d to quote his letter, \u2018 my hunible opinion, as well as in the opinion of many men of wisdom and experience, whom I have met, are not of à nature to promote the interests of navigation and the business of the city of Montreal and of the Dominion.\u201d Who are these many men of wisdom and experience?Among them are not to be found the city engineer, the harbor engineer, any prominent shipper, exporter, importer, or the large majority of the Harbor Commissioners.When Mr.Tarte writes that he is supported by these many men (anonymous) of wisdom amd experience.he implies that the above authorities are neitber.Mr.Tarte describes bis opinion as \u2018 humble; \u2019 the majority of people use an entirely different qualification.The correspondenre is as follows: \u2014 Ottawa, Aug.18, 1807.Mr.Robt.Mackay, President of the Harbor Commission: \u2014 My Dear Sir,\u2014You will kindly find enclosed a report signed by Mr.Louis Coste, chief engineer of the Department of Public Works, and 1 write to say at once that 1 share in its entirety the opinion of Mr.Coste.I have given every possible atiention to the question of the Montreal harbor improvements, and have come to the conclusion that 1 cannot conscien- tiovsly approve of the plans forwarded me by the secretary of your commission ou July 31 last.It may be that the improvements suggested in these plans would givé sufficient accommodation to some of the steamship companies which have in the past done business in the port of Montreal, but I cannot shut my eves to the fact that a new state of things is to be created by the improvements in our railway system and the development of the North-West.The larg est vessels coming from the east and west will load and unload their cargoes in our harbor, and, in my opinion, the narrow basins provided by your plan will necessarily cramp the traffic in the port cf Montreal.1 sincerely regret not being able to share the opinion of the majority of your commission, but as Minister of Public Works I am responsible to the country for the attitude I take on this question, and I have the earnest conviction that I am fulfilling my duty to the great majority of the citizens of Canada in refusing to give my sanction to a project which I could not in any manner justify, and naturally T will put no ob- stecle in the way of the Harbor Commis- sicn, if it desires to undertake the improvements according to its own plans without claiming the $800,000, which ia the balance of the $2,000,000 which the Dominion Treasury was authorized to loan the Harbor Commission in 1896.My cne wish is not to be responsible for plans, which, in my humble opinion, as well as in the opinion of many men of wisdom and experience, whom I have met, are not of a nature to promote the interests of navigation and the business of the city of Montreal and of the Dominion.Believe me, dear sir, Your obedient servant,

next, the bundle of splints or faggots is tied to a bamboo pole, about six feet long, and thig is secured in a near- \"ly upright position at the edge of the platform near the sheet, leaning some- A NATURALIST\u2019S LADDER.towering above their fellows, around whose summits climbing vines thrown vast clusters of brilliant flowers, often at a height »f a hundred to a hundred and fifty feet from the ground.Sailing around these, or sucking honey from their cups, the observer sees a score or more of large and splendid Papilios, of the very species that command the highest prices in the world\u2019s museums.How to secure these and other coveted treasures is the problem to be solved.A gun has Leen ingeniously devised, with a well-greased cartridge shell, filled with water in the place of shot.globule of water, if truly aim:d, stuns the butterfly long enough to bring it to | the ground, where it can be captured before it regains its power of flight, But this is a slow and a very uncertain device at best : and it dors not reach the highest fliers either.A far more effective expedient for capturing the richest high-fliers is the vera- cal bamboo ladder, in the form first observed by travellers in the interior of Berneo by the natives of which it has been in use for many years.at the cut which accompanies this article makes the structure fa.clearer than any verbal description can do.Within a space of four hours such a Jadder may be constructed, enabling the collector to climb up a hundred and twenty or more feet, or to a point where the limbs themselves afford easy climbing.But the work is not yet finished.\" Our architect next saws off some of the ' top limbs in such a way as not to inter | fere with the growth of the flower-cov- ered vines which form the sole attraction Across the top of to the Lutterflies.these amputated limbs he firmiy ties other stout bamboo ecross-pieces which have heen prepared for him, and over these he fastens others in such a way as.to make a firm platform ten or twelve feet square.On such a structure two or three persons can stand securely, notwithstanding a certaln amount of vibration from the tree itself.Another precaution is necessarr\u2014the construction for each collector of a harness of vegetable rope.passed around the bodv and under the arms, and fastened by another stout rope, about six feet long.to the middle of the platform.The excitement of butterfly-catching is much too great to run anv risk of chasing à enveted prize over the edge of the platform, a hundred and forty feet from the ground.Shoes and stockings must also be removed, as the bare feet are murh less likely to slip on the smooth bamboo Hooring.The ladder and platform are now ready for use, and in this lofty position our collectors ean spend the best three or four hours of a tropical morning in what they may afterward look back upon as among the most delightful and rewarding episodes of their lives.The warv butterflies are easily rcared away to other clumps of their favorite flowers, of which there are likelv to he several near by.Tt is therefore necessary to retire part way down the ladder out of sight of the intended victims, there wait until the forget ful beanties return tn their chosen haunts.after morning, can hardly fail to result in the capture of a goodly number of per: fect specimens nf the precions Papilins, heaides manv less perfect.Rutterflies.be it remembered, like coins, stamps and have This A glance This strategy, repeated morning : what forward so that any burning particles may drop outside of the platform.When the bundle of faggots is fired, it sends a weird, uncanny light out and over the tree-tops for a hundred yards around.Our naturalists now don their rope harness and await developments.The period of suspense is surprisingly short ; soon a blundering beetle, perhaps a very giant of his kind, appears, -only to hg fol- ! lowed by another and another, eachdof a , different sort, while moth after moth \u201cappear in quick succession.If it be a .dull, damp, windless night, there may be i full a hundred of these treasures of the within the first ten minutes.Many of these, naturally, are utterly ruined by | their headlong dashes into the bewitching flame, ere the collector can single out the most rare and capture them.But many an unheard of rarity has thus been brought to the northern museums, that otherwise would never see the closets of our eager students.Many, after a few , circlings around the beacon, drop down to the almost equally brilliant sheet and from that point of vantage are casily taken in by the naturalist.Now and then a large tropical bat, a vampire perhaps, intent on pursuing its insect prey, may rush into and through i the collector's nest, so great is the speed and momentum with which it flies.At | this point the native assistants will take to their legs and make hasty retreat down the ladder, for are not these giant bats the spirits of their d ad ances*ors dzomed \u2018to seek the life blood of their progeny, by night ?! | | ADVERTISEMENTS.HAD INDIGESTION !
