Some of these, -such as the "hand

many - of these warlike appliances,

making of hideous grimaces to strike
terror into the heart of an enemy was
cultivated - as a branch of the military
alert by the troops of the Celestial Em-
p.re. so In medieaval times the grotesque
seems to have been considered at least
es .much a desideratum as the practical

merely a grote-,qua edition of the mov-
able towers that played such an -import -

• Ancient warriors' had .a great pen-
Chant for naming their various warlike
• engirfes and - rnachtrres 'after animals,
real - or imaginary. Thus we have bbe
Roman "musculus," or "little mouse,'

a besieged city; the battering • ram, the

arrows from a powerful bow, the on-

stones with great violence at its pur-

-were equipped with' a spiked gangway -
known as a "corvus," or "crow," which
on being let tall upon the enemy's shin
grappled her and formed a bridge for

• Medkeval soldiers made frequent use
- of the "wolf" in the defence of castles

.EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIVANCES
- .. THUNDER CARRIAGES.
Monster cannon were an early form
of extravaganza in military weapons.
There are several accounts of suck
pieces of ordance.` A traveler once
stated that he had seen at Brunswick
a gun •or rather -mortar cast in 1411. -.It
was made at _brass, was 10 feel 6 inches
ling and no less .than 9 feet 2 inches
U, diameter, and was said to be capabte
of throwing a 1,000 pound shell. India
boasted several of these monstrosities.
One still to be seen at Kubberpore is
said to be. no less than 21 feet 3 inches
long and 5 feet 6 inches around the
muzzle. It is carted. Jaun Kushall, or
deeiruyer of life, by the -natives, and
was probably c§,st somewhere in Persia.
Another India piece, cast by Chute -
by KKoomy. Khan of Ahmednuggeer,
about the year 15iI0, has siich a tremen-
dous bore that the interior is now fit-
ted up as a kind _ of summer house. A
cannon made as Bruges in 1346 had a
square bore and fired cubical shot.
Guns were 'made of all -kinds of Ma-
terials, though all such may be regard -
ea as freaks ur experiments. The leather
'guns invented by an officer in the army
of .Gustavus Adolphus had •a certain
vogue on account of their lightness.
Scute were effectively used against us
by the Scots under Gen.' Leslie at the
battle et Newburn Ford in 1640. They
were made by wrapping rope and twine
around copper cylinders •strengthened
by iron rings. They weie then coated
with - plaster; and finally_ covered with
leather. :They were very portable, but
unreliable and short lived. Guns have
been made of wood hooped with iron,
not only in .ancient tames,. huh quite ^e-
cently in the Philippines, where They
were- used against the American troops.
The Chinese tied a gun made of bam-
boo in 1259, but only the outer day the
Japanese were making effective use of
wooden mortars bound • around with
bamboo -for throwing explosives into
the Russian works at the siege of Port
drakes, dragons volant, falcons, -ser-
- - pents and pelicans. not to mention
"double dogs' and 'partridge mortars.'
We have of late years seen a good
-deal in the newspapers about the train-
ing, o(- dogs for military purposes, such
as scouting, giving notice of the ap-
• preach of an enemy and -searching tar
the wounded. In former days this in-
telligent animal was also employed. 'n

ACROSS CANADA IN THREE YEARS.,
Remarkable Trip Made—tiy-atn-English
Lecturer.
•
A •walking geography of Canada ar-
rived t±eceritly in Vancouver in the per-
son of Mr. H. Haywood, a fellow_ of
the Royal Geographical Society of Lon-
don.. -and lecturer; with Canada es his
isubject. -
To master his subject Mr. Haywood
•has travelled from Halifax to the Ter-
ininal City by,. daylight, the tour hav-
ing -taken-him' three years. Ilei has
travelled thousands of miles by rail,
steamer, and stage, also many hun-
dreds of miles on' foot, visiting •targe
and small centres, new and old settle-
ments, farm and mining districts, lum-
ber camps, industrial centres, places
that would afford him an opportunity
o' obtaining particulars respecting the
resources of the country.
• Mr. Haywood's ain't -has been to thor-
oughly know the country, from Atlan-
tic to Pacific. its means and methods
,t transportation; its population; itspro-
ducts, and general resources its cities
and towns, and what they are noted for,
eo that he may make use of this knowledge
during his lecture tours round the world.
The views, with which his lectures' are
to be fllustrated, will show the beauty
spots that are of note and interest, be -
aides street views, 'cities, parks, rivers:
walerialls, public institutions, and such
keen; as would be an inducement- to
travelers end tourists-generaily to visit.
He also desires to induce travelers
from Bombay. Madras, Ceylon, Calcut-
la,' Australia, and New Zealand. to fev-
er the Canadian route in visiting Eng-
land, so that they may become acquaint-
ed with Canada, its people. and the
many picturesque spots that are -to be
even from Vancouver. to Halifax. Ills
lectures ,wilt also be given in the United
Slates.
He will try, while In British `Colum-
bis, to obtain a perfect collection of
vttws descriptive of the country, so that
outsiders,, that is, people in other parts
of the world, who may attend his illus-
trated lectures, may gain a good idea at
British Columbia and its many beauti-
ful scenes. with which the whole Prov-
ince is so richly endowed; its great re-
scurces. stores of wealth, and the ad-
vantages to be derived by making it the
great highway to Europe.

The wire bullet- proof screen behind
which the soldier advancing to the at-
tack defies any projectile smaller than
R. three -pounder is as far fetched an
idea as anything produced in the Mid-
dle Ages. • The reservoir . helmet, a
French scheme, is about as quaint as
anything we have noticed. The lower
part of this eccentric headpiece forms
•a species of tank er reservoir. into
which the water (and pipe clay?) drains.
from the upper surface of the helmet.
The soldier's head is therefore kept
cool in the tropics -though the •weight
may' perhiips be • rather trying -and
when athirst all. he has -to do is to re-
move his helmet and fill his cup .from
the tap at the back.
One of the • most important qualiflca=
Lions of'a good soldier is to be able to
march well, but it is doubUul whether
the wearing of a pair of spring soled
boots, such as a .recent Inventor has
suggested, would add many miles to the
day's march. These "seven league
hoots" have an outer sole, which is piv-
oted to the one made on' the boot just
below the ball of the foot. A strong
spiral spring is fitted between the two
a. the heel. To seo a whole regiment
charging a position wearingiet a hoots
and • bounding over the grow d like
kangaroos or wallabys, would indeed le
a remarkable 'sight.
Another remarkable invention is a
cannon that takes completely to pieces.
•It consists of a series .of strong steel
rings which fit over the inner tube,
Which 'is, 01 course, rifled internally.
Externally it tapers slightly, so that it
is bigger and thicker 1. the breech end.

STORY OFHE EARTHQUAKE
enniker Heaton Tells of the Destruction
i11gSton.�
�A TERRIBLE SCENE.
The. London Times h; s received the
fcilowing graphic account of the King-
ston earthquake . from Henniker Heaton,
M.P., dated .qt 4,.ingston..on Thursday:-
"After the opening ceremony of the
Agricultural Conference Sir Alfred Sevet-
,,.tenham invited ten of• us to lunc4i with
,Tim at the Jamaica Club, including Sir
...James Ferguson, who had arrived the
. clay before. Sir• James gave us an in-
.� teresting account of the work on the
Panama Canal. • An• hour afterwards he
• -was buried amid tons of brick and stone.
The first fear as to his fate- was due
a- to the fact that he had not returned
,...during the night to Government .House,
inhere he was staying, and at 5 in the
-- !morning the Governor came ori board
•the `Port Kingston, the vessel that
brought Sir Alfred Jones' party out; and
•fn which Sir Jaynes. Ferguson had taken
.bis passage& home, to inquire for his
�tresL - . ' •
A MOMENT OF AWE. •
"After lunch I left -the club and went
With Hon. Mr. Conic, a -member of 11�e
• Council and .a leading planter, to visit
there when the. earthquake took, place.
The street was a moderate-sized one
land the moment the ground began to
tgaake thousands of people rushed and
', "lumped into. "the street from 'the houses.
• "A huge building fell across the street
•
s yard --below us; another building
se blocked the street behind us. 'On Our
left a third building fell into the street.
• "Then 7ollowed absolute darkness.
Great clouds of dust'! mortar and 'debris
-filled the air for five minutes. and when
light was restored my companion and -1
•teund a irselves as. black ,with; dust and
• dirt as negroes. It was a miraculous
escape.
PRAYED FOR DELIVERANCfa.
'The scene That followed baffles de-
acription: \\'omen were embracing their
little .children; others were .on their -
knees, praying loudly and with most
intense feeling -to -God with 'such- Words
as 'Lord- have mercy on us,' 'God have
mercy on• us; 'Christ have mercy on us
and save us.' Others-- were fainting.
.still others running wildly, looking for
loved ones. • .. .
TRAGEDY -AT THE CLUB.
"-We climbed over the fallen toads: cf
lee,- :»-`brickee and mortar and goti back to the
1~ club, It was in ruins. The'.root had
collitpsed, and the room tehere we
_bad been. dining was. filled. with tons -of
'['rick from - the fallen walls. -. -
"A young fellow, hatless and coatless,
'lvith a handkerchief around his tread,..
addressed' me, in, the _street outside the
club for several minutes. At length
ss. meth. g peculiar struck rile, and I ask-
-ed if he'. was Gerald Loder, my friend
for many year in the House of Coal-
' anions and ex-M.P. for Brighton.. He
.:` , said yes, he was waiting in the read-
---'-:'g _rdom _on the' second floor of the
club when the roof T TTatri:.. fle
`been pinned to the floor by the roof. Dy
freeing himself from his coat he escaped
lo the parapet and descended by. a. lad-
-:.der into the street.
"The most awful sight was poor Mr.
firadley.- a metaber of ,the club, lyipa
mfead under the great fallen pillar of the
-!building. . • : .
AMONG THE TOURISTS.
"At Constant Spring Hotel I found my
•bedroom shattered and the,roof, clearest
•-off. I found numbers of ladies, 'who had
'been 'taking' an afternoon rest in their
• rooms, on • the lawn with blankets and
"_bed things around them, That night we
..,slept on the lawn of the hotel, and dur-
-
' ing the -long hours between sunset and
_ sunrise felt at least three earthquake
shocks.
"The blaze of the.raging fire 'over the
city -was plainly visible, and at dawn 1
got coffee and drove to Kingston, six
• miles.' Along the road encampments cf
'families were seen outside their houses.
. Ti1ULY ' A CITY OF RUINS.
'In Kingston --I drove • many, miles
through the streets: At least ninety-
' :'..eight of every one hundred houses are
:-in ruins or damaged beyond repair. This
I say_ from personal observation. Nine -
tenths of the houses were old and many
• of them ought to have been • destroyed.
long ago. On our arrival on board .our
•'`good steamship great joy vv'as expressed
to find Sir Alfred Jones, notw•ithstand-
irg his miraculous 'escape, giving -orders
Clearly, coolly, forcibly .to - his secretar=
lane as 4"o how to meet the trouble.• ,.
THE MASTER MIND. .
"'Let a hundred light wooden struc-
. tures be erected and another hundred

A despatch from London. says : Be-
lated Kingston despatches' retell, the
story of the disaster. They say that the
suffering df the injured immediately
alter the shock was extremely painful
t' see, especially as there were no
means of relieving them: •• Among - the
most dreadful sights were numbers of•
negroes who had been. jammed in win-
dows as they tried to escape through
them, but had been pinned by falling
timbers, which had either caused death
or held the victims . until they were
burned to death. - Tl}ousa.nds wandered
to and fro, moaning, exclaiming, or
praying aloud. Hundreds of -these were
in agony, having broken heads or limbs.
They did not know where to turn for
rest or shelter. All the available sur-
geons were busy throughout the night,
amputating limbs and dressing wounds.
The bodies recovered would • nowise -in-
dicate the total number of deaths. A
very large number were -burned- to
ashes. it is believed that the dead can
be reckoned in the thousands instead of
hundreds.
One correspondent writes that the
streets presented a sickening - sight -
lore the rescue parties got to work. The
ruins of countieas .houses and huts were
smouldering; and dead bodies were ly-
ing, charred, amid the debris. Occasion-
ally. one Kean' groans or shrieks from
those who were still alive, which min-
gled strangely 'vlth the Iaarentations. and
prayers of'. -arose who had escaped.
While the fire was , at its height the
neighing of -horses corralled in the fire
ring drowned every other sound,
lhaugh there Were many explosions and
the constant thud -of. falling timbers.
There was a threatened water famine,
caused by the bursting of the reservoir
fed- by. the Hope River, and there was no
supply for 24 • hours, but now there is
a splendid. flow front the Wag •\rater.
River, which tions to the north .aide of
the island.
NEGROES PARALYZED • WITH FEAR.
The:,,rsegroes are quite. useless. They
are unable to even help themselves. All
of them seen pare); zed with fear. They
spend their time- preying. At each fresh
shock n wail- went •up from every place
in ev;•hich: they had taken refuge. and
they made a- fresh.stampede. even When.
they were comparatively sale on the
plaza or, race -course.
Another despatch is cliched an a
hopeless tone. It declares that .not only
is Kingston wiped' out, ,but Jamaica is
ruined.' Kingston, cannot be rebuilt far. a
generation: The disaster, according to
this correspondent, was greater propor:
tionally than those at San Francisco and
Valparaiso.
• Practically every building left stand-
ing must be demolishes, owing to their
insecurity. The follownig are among the

• A despatch from 'Terre Haute, Indi-

tilated bodies were taken from the

passenger train on the Cleveland, -Cin-
cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis .(Big Four).
Railroad, following its d>Lstruction on
Saturday night by the explosion of e.
carload of powder as it passed a freight
train at Sandford, lad., five miles west
of Terre -Haste. The number of injur-
ed will- total at least thirty-five. The
cause of the disaster has not been fully
e'plain;d. The result was terrible. The
shock was felt for thirty miles, many
believing it an earthquake.
The entire train, Including the loco-
motive, was blown from the track, the
coaches were demolished, the engine
was hurled fifty feet and- the passen-
gers were either blown to pieces, con-
sumed. by fire or rescued In an injured
condition.. Some of the injured will
die: •
According le trainmen of the freight
train the explosion of the powder was
caused by the concussion of ,the pas-
senger train- which w:as'- slowing down -
for Sandford.. • Another theory is that
gas escaping 'froth an .011' pipe line en-
tered the powder car steadier
pipe, and that a spark from the pas-
senger locomotive ignited the gas. Let
another is that the disaster was dire
to the act of a - tramp or an intoxicated
man who may ,have fired - a shot into
the car.,
