Special interest of a local nature is attached to tho December number of Progress, which contains a voluminous illustrated articlo on the fish-h&lohing experiments now being oouducted Portobollo. An articlo which will attract more general interest is entitled ' The Monorail si Last." This does not, as might havo been expected, deal with Mr Brennan's experiments in England, but with a German proposal made before tho announcement of that inventor's SUCCESS. Ii luav, however, the editor says, refer to -the Brennan monorail. Tho other contents of Progress are so instructive and up-to-date that probably no on© interested in mechanical and other inventions can afford to bo without it.

Frank Morton has ft gastronomical article, whioh contains, among other things, a specific for dyspepsia. It is: Lat anything you fancy, at any time, anywhere; tako plenty of good cxorcise, and laugh as often as possible. If you have dyspepsia, then don't bother about drugs— die. Your case is probably hereditary, and quite hopeless."
