The follow ing programe for the opening of the International Fisheries exhi bition to-morrow has been ar ranged: The diplomatic corps, members of the ministry and exhi bition authorities will assemble in the dais in the building at 11:30 o'clock. The Princess of Wales and her sons will arrive at noon. The royal procession, headed by the exhibition officials and followed by the foreign and colonial com missioners, will pass through the British sea fish galleries and loreitrn courts. After that the national anthem will be given by a chorus of 400 voices and seventy pieces. On reaching the dais, the Duke of Richmond will de liver an address and the Prince of Wales will reply to it, in the name of the Queen. The Archbishop of Canterbury will delivera special prayer, and then, amid the blast of trumpets and firing of salutes, the exhibition will be declared opened. IManl so SIoit. Berlin, May 10. Bismarck is becoming daily more and more emaciated, and physicians have informed him that the worst may happen if he does not abandon all state work for the present. Anti-Monopoly, New York, May 11. The World, under its new manage ment, announces its political plat form. The following is an extract: "To-day we arc confronted by a struggle in different guise. Organ ized privilegists, coveting and possessing exclusive rights under the aegis of chartered monopolism, undermine of political freedom now more than 100 years ago. It is for true democracy to preserve political freedom now as it estab lished political freedom in former days. To this duty the World is pledged.' Still FlsbtiBC San Francisco, May 11. A dispatch this morning from Her mosillo, Mexico, says: Colonel Torres returned last night from Sierra Madrus, where he has been pursuing the Apaches for twenty days. He found them entrenched in a stronghold in the mountains and attacked with 300 troops. The troops flanked the hostiles, charg ing them at the rear at the point of the bayonet. The Indians fled leaving eleven dead. Five sol diers were killed and eight seri ously wounded. Colonel Torres says the Apaches fight savagely; they are armed with repeating rifles. Torres thinks the Indian troubles in Sonora are ended. The troops returned to Guamasa, Montezuma, "with the wounded and to replcuish their rations. A conspicuous illustration of the St. Jacobs Oil as a remedy for rheumatism is found in J. A. Bon ham, the well-known lawyer of Philadelphia, Pa., who thus tells his experience: "About two weeks ago I was seized with what the doctor called muscular rheu matism in my right leg. The leg below the knee was swollen until I could hardly stand upon it. I liad seen St. Jacobs Oil advertised, and I sent to the drug store near my house, on the corner of Nine teenth and Master streets, for a bottle of it. I rubbed my leg with it that night, and in a short time the pain seemed to go away. Next morning the swelling had shifted from under the ankle to the upper part of the knee. Well I applied the Oil again, and the swellinc in a short time went away, leaving a very slight pain. I didn't use any more of the Oil, thinking that the attack was all over. About a week later it ap peared again in the same place. The leg swelled so badly that, af ter coming down and walking sev eral squares, I gave completely out. Well, I went home intend ing to try some French medicine, but I forgot to get it, and having a part of this bottle of St. Jacobs Oil in the house yet, I tried it again, bathing the limb thorough ly. Well, sir, when I got up in the morning the pain and swel ling were both almost gone, and after one more application I was as well as ever, and from that time to this I haven't been troubled." Dynamite is one of the many products or combinations of nitro glycerine, and is about thirteen times as powerful as gunpowder. The discovery of this dangerous and potent explosive was made in 1846 by Ascagne Sobrero, then a pupil in the laboratory of Pelouze, the eminent French chemist, who devoted twenty years of his life to the investigation of the chemistry of oils and fats. Sobrero, having tried a series of experiments, eventually made explosive prep arations from dextrine, mannite, cane sugar, and glycerine. The announcement of the discovery caused a sensation in the scientific world, but for some years, so dan gerous and so treacherous was the new explosive, that few attempted in any way to utilize it. The force and power were there to do almost anything, but then the ma terial was liable to explode pre maturely, and without any appar ent provocation, and for a long time scientific men alone knew of its existence. Sometime about 1863 or 1864: Henry and Alfred Nobel, practical mining engineers, began to experiment with nitro glyceiine as a blasting agent, and found it so effective and so econo mical that they at once took out patents in various countries, claim ing that they were the inventors ef the compound. Their claim to the invention is clearly unfounded, as Sobrero had demonstrated the existence of nitro-sugar, nitro dextrine,and nitro-glycerine nearly a score of years before, but there can be no question that the No bels first applied the patent ex plosive to its legitimate uses. The Nobels were not successful in their earlier efforts, owing to the large number of grave acci dents caused by nitro-glycerine in Norway and Germany, where hun dreds of blasters lost their lives through ignorance or carelessness; so finally they gave up the use of the explosive in its original form. They now confine their trade to a mixture of rotten stone and gly cerine, which formes the com pound so widely known as dyna mite. Dynamite was patented in the United States May 20, 1868, the patent being granted to Alfred Nobel of Hamburg, Irermany, as signor to John Bandmann of San Francisco. It consists of a combi nation of nitro-glycerine with a substance of great absorbent pow er such for instance as fuller's earth or rotten stone. Bv this combination the explosiveness of the nitro-glycerine is controlled, as it were, and the compound is capable of withstanding all the ordinary dangers of transportation, while at the same time its explo sive power is not lessened. Our Northwest Boundary. j The whole of the northwest boun dary of the United States, from Michigan to Alaska, has been dis tinctly marked by the British and American commissioners; and some interesting details have been published of the way in which this difficult task was accomplished. The boundary is marked by stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds and timber posts. These structures vary from five feet in height to fifteen feet and there are 385 of them between the Lake of the Woods and the base of the Rocky Mountains. That portion of the boundary that lies east and west of the Red River valley is marked by cast iron pil lars at even mile intervals. The British place one every two miles aud the United States one between each British post. The posts are hollow iron castings. And upon the opposite faces are cast in let ters two inches high, the inscrip tion, "Convention of London," and "October 20. 18S1." The average weight of each pillar when completed is eighty-five pounds. Where the line crosses lakes, mountains of stone have been built, the bases being in some places IS feet under water, and the tops projecting some eight feet above the surface of the lakes at high water mark. In the forests, the line is marked by felling the timber a rod wide and clearing away the underbrush. As might be imagined, the work of cutting through the timbered swamps was very great, but it has all been carefully and thoroughly done. The Dillars are set four feet in the ground in ordinary cases, with their inscription faces to the north and south, and the earth is well settled and stamped about them. The iron posts afford little temptation for dislodgment and conveying away by Indians or others. a llasL'?: si sb A - te - orJl HE H so. m THE5REAT MAN REM FOB EHEUMA A.M. JOHXSOK. C. H. STICKELS. A.

Thomas' Drug Store. A new use has been discovered for oyster shells. For years they have been used for the manufac ture of lime as manure, for deco rative purposes, and in the prepa ration of a cheap imitation of marble; but it is now found that they can be better utilized by being thrown iu quantities into the sea, where they make the best possible foundation for new oyster beds. In July and August next many ship loads of these empty shells will be sunk by English and French oyster farmers in various places suitable for the purpose, and a few healthy living oysters will then be dropped upon the same spots. Experiments have proved that under such conditions the bivalves will shortly multiply to an almost incredible extent; and in so brief a period as two years each empty shell will have from thirty to forty young oysters at tached to it. Tho new generation can then be removed to make room for more, and fattened for market in specially constructed tanks. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
