Fortifications should succeed each other along the channels of ap proach and in our harbors, s j that the enemy may nowheie find shelter from our fire while lying within our harbors, should he succeed in passing the outer lines of works. The har bor mouths and channels must be obstructed by lines of electrical torpedoes for holding tho enemy's vessels under fire of the fortifications, previously constructed aud ston din the lat ter, and laid, on the advent of war, in sys tems, tho plans of which havo been carefully o aboratcd in timo of peace."

Many years ago thu prevent Astronomer itoyal proved that thu disturbing effect of this planet was so great that the earth was materially pulled out of its orbit. Mr. Jenkins shows that it is to this distuibing action we must look for an explan ation of the cold waves which occur, on an average, every tight years as in 1289, 1837, 1845, 1855, 1803, 1871, 1870-and that for the next forty years tbe temperature will 1 below the aversge, as it has during thu last forty years been above the average. In re gard to high temperature he states that for tho last fifty years a heat wavo has been ob served to pass over the earth every twelve years, nearly contemporary with the arrival of the planet Jupiter at its iieribelion. anil that we ar on the eve of the next heat wave. Bndlr Heorthrd, Tho Lowistown TtUtr has tho following in regard to tho accident which befell A. .T, Schmidt and his family! "Last week while engaged In company with his wife work ing on his now house ho discovered smoke coming from the old lumso in which his chil dren were with nil his household cll'ccts. He immediately ran with his wife to tho burning building which broko out in ono shcabof llanic hefoio ho reached it, and bursting into the door ha barely rescued his babes from tlio Hunus. The youngest, one yar old, was on the bed nnd the bed in flames, ho grabbed the child nnd stumbling over tho three-year-old, who was on tho tluor almost stilled with smoke. He put them both without the build ing. Ho entered again for tho five-year-old girl, who was under tho bed, ami taking her and a small trunk rushed out with them just in time to escape tlio falling roof. Mr. Schmidt was now himself on lire and by aid of his wifo extinguished the lira on his person, and as evening closed in tlio littlo burnt group stood like mourners over tlru smouldering re mains of what was once, their homo and for tune. Thn babe's arm, neck, faco nml hair was badly burnt, but not fatally. Tho other two children wcro considerably injured by In haling tho smoke. Mr. Schmidt's hair, beard, hands and arm wcru bully burned. The House that was consumed was lined with mus lin. The children were shut in whilo Schmidt's wifo went out to assist him on the new house. Tho oldest girl states that alio took n liuhtcd stick from tlio s'.ovo and set tho cloth lining of the walls on fire. Tho children were not nhlo to open tho door, and wcro not sufficiently conscious of what wns occurring to call help. Statistics for 1680. Albany Democrat.
