ST. LAWRENCE POWER SCHEME. The crush-notion of the power works at. Messena, on tho St. Lawrence River, is urogres&ig rapidly, and this plant will probably commence tho supply of electricity about tho month of July next year. Since 18bo there have been installed at Niagara ten v. estinghouso elocl ric generators of 5000 hersa-power capacity each, and fer the St. Lawrence Power Company fifteen Westinghouse generators of 5000 horse-power each are under construction. The power-houso is being built oa the bed-rock of the Grasse River, and will ho about 700 ft. long by 160 ft. wide. -K ick of tho turbines will consist of a set cf six wheels, produce GOO!) horse-power, and ho directly coupled to or.o generator. Tho canal conveying i l»o water from the St. Lawrence to the power house is large c-nOUs?.■ to acconimod.:;‘o largo lake vessels. It is 15,20(Jft. lung, JU2ft. wide at the water line, and If'l’r. deep. To develop 75,000 horsepower the canal will need to be widened t;> a. width of 2G3G;., arm tho Grasse River will have to bo deepened.

STEAKGE DOAllUillL STUlli. .Maurice Eltcnbaud, I w°n I y-sev 'cn, a well-dressed man, described sis a commissi eu. agent' nf 66, Kcsinho read, Keasalrise, was charged at Wiliest; ivi with stealing jewellery and ether articles .0 tho value'of -£l2O, tho property cf Grat e Zahkn, cf the same address. Tho prosecutrix, a young married woman, said she had been living with the prisoner -at 66 Kesiako road, and 0:1 September 23rd left on business, and Jui not return until December 22ud, when she found prisoner had k>Tt a note for her in which lie stated ho was afraid to faco her, as lie had been through her boxes, and pawned a lot of her property. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and said ho took the articles because ho was unfortunate in business. j, no prosecutrix had been .very good to him ever since his business fell oil: at Manchester, mid! they left there with tho intention Sjfj going to South Africa, but tho war broke out, and they remained in London. His business—the sale of inventions—continued bad, and in September she took a situation as a saleswoman' in Soumamptou, leaving their e.ulcl with him. Tho babe was given over by the doctor, and he pledged seme tilings to vet further medical aid, with tin- result that their child was saved.

Mr Bird told him it was a pity he did not. write and inform th«* prosecutrix as to his position, and said the least lie could do would be to .soulonce him so six mouths’ hard labour. Prisoner, as bo left the dock: “God bless you, Grace, and look after ttie baby for me, won’t you 7” Mrs Zalska denied that, the money was spent on the. baby, and. an order was made fer the goods to be returned to her. INCOMES OF ROYALTYRoyalty and riches do not always run together. There havs been I; n'gs who have pawned their crowns arid queen, who have begged their bread; and there are those who speak of England, the richest country in the world, my if it were mean to its monarchy. Y hdo the Chair of all tho Russian, and oven the Red Bui tan, count their wages in millions, tho Queen c e the British Empire received, as wc nsett to be trthl at renooi. onl v “a, thousand .pound;, a day and-£20,-000" ou her birthday.'’ The Queen’s official lucerne oi iIHBo,OPO a your is half a million less than the Eraporci- of Austria’s. £200,000 less than King Victor’s. £100,009 less than the Shah of Persia’s, and only half as much e.s tue Kewer :. Her Majesty has received t.2 >,000,000 since her accession, or 170 tons of-sov-ereigns. or enough to icek‘y a _ c.oideu pathway round tho world. It is jW' hirly imagined, for sonic reason or cducr, ,'Jiai. flue Trinco of Wales was poor. Poverty is. after .all, a purely comparative term. Tiiis man may be poor witu _ a thousand a year, that men may be "icn on a pound ;i week. The public income of the Prince is_ £l-36,000 a year. but that huge sum is within tho mark. It has beenyventodj that tho Prince has a private income of it hundred 'thousand rounds a year, which would makij, his total income something like a quarter of a inilliim: but. not haring the authority for that scacc-j moat, we may 'rare it out of our reckon-, iug.
