Big Open Air Concerts.
In Wales on the occasion of tho eia-
; teddford, or anuual Welsh bardic con-
i gress, the largest open air concert is lield
! every year. In 1891 it was held at
Swansea, and was witnessed by between
! 20,000 and 30,000 people. Prizes are of
fered for instrumeutaYists on harp, piano,
etc., and also for solos, quartets and
choir singing, which are very unmet •
ously competed for. Tweuty-fonr par
ties entered for one of the quartet com
petitions, and there are always a large
number of entries for the great choral
competition, which is one of the most
attractive features of this congress of
mnsicinus. The chief prize at Swansea
was £200, with n baton valued at seven
ty pounds.
Another very large open air concert is
that given annually on the garrison
reatiou grounds at Portsmouth by the
I massed bands of the garrison, with r
fewer than 150 performers, and fre
quently a larger number. The Tannahill
concerts, which used to be held

the rapids and conducts it to a set of And doubtless the simple minded
mills built ou the banks below the falls ' councilors of Dublin listened to this
and now known ns Sclioellkopf’s mills.
The Niagara river makes u liend at a
right angle, and the falls are at the apex
of that angle. This canal forms the hy-
pother use of a right angled triangle, of
which the longest 6ide is the river above
and the shortest side the river below the
falls. The mills are near the falls and
are not a picturesque feature of the
scenery.
The turbiues which drive the mills are
sunk in pits only about fifty or sixty feet
deep, and consequently their tail races
discharge a hundred feet or more above
the surface of the rapids below the falls,
and half of the available power of the
water bronght down by the canal is thus
wasted. Less than 6.000 horsepower is
utilized.
Tho new works have reversed this
plan of a long supply canal and a short
tailraco. They have been constructed
on a modification of a plan first proposed
i, and instead of considering the in
terests of the yard owners, of the car
riers and of tho home industry iu gen
eral they missed all the blessings of

“turfe” makes a cheap fire and cheapens
the man it warms? And should we not
be glad to hire yards and remunerate
the owners and employ carriers at con

the commodity does cost ns more; does
not that Welshman across the sea pay

Mis Edith Emily Read has just beaten
the record in Girton girls. She is now
doing some responsible work on the
labor commission, which comes as the
climax of a singularly successful career.
Here is a bare record of her achieve
ments: Goldsmiths and Clothworkers’
scholarship, from the North London Col
legiate school to Girton (fifty pounds,
each for three years), wrangler, 1891;
first class moral science tripos (after
only a yoar’s study), 1892; Thereso Mon-
tefiore memorial prize of fifty-pounds
1892 for most distinguished student at
Girton; prizes of twenty pounds each
from Goldsmiths and Clothworkers*
companies in recognition of- her wran

its work on the wheels it is discharged
into tho big tunnel, which runs away un

This tnunel has liecn the most diffi
cult and costly part of the work so far.
It was cut through solid limestone rock,
but the rock was found to crntnble so
badly after exposure that the whole
7,000 feet of the tunnel had to be bricked
up. It is in the form of a horseshoe,
twenty-eight feet high and eighteen feet
broad, inside dimensions. Starting at a
depth of 1G0 feet it has a downward
slope or pitch of four feet in n thousand

The writer yesterday had the pleasure
of witnessing a shipment of freight un
packed which had just completed its
long journey from China. The ten or
twelvo large boxes covered with the odd
but well known green paper and inimi
table characters, all securely wrapped
with strips of cane, had at a glance a
foreign look abont them. When the
boxes were opened, however, and some
of the goods taken out, the foreign ap
pearance was increased rnauy times over.
Everything was stored away in a very -
careful and compact manner, each arti
cle being separated from every other by
little improvised but effective partitions
in the large boxes. There were strange
looking nuts of all sorts—some from the
marshes along the Y’ellow and Blue
rivers, and some from the rugged upland
region between tbo Yangtze and its great
tributary, the Min. The water nuts
from the low lands, growing in the
ponds and the swamps like lilies—the
root forming the nut—had the soft black
mud from their eastern home still cling
ing aronnd them. When cut open with
a knife the juicy white meat was evi
dently as fresh as it was the day it had
been taken from the faraway banks of
some lonely swamp.
There were dozens of kinds of dried
mushrooms, numerous kinds and quali
ties of macaroni, jars of the most de
licious ’ (?) sauce, boxes of queer red
rasins, casks of dark brown oysters,
which, it is said, swell to many times
their sizo when cooked; ginger root so

water service of the great lakes, with
the land sloping iuto them and contrib
uting to the Falls of Niagara, has a to
tal drainage basin of over 240,000 square
miles—equal to more than twice the area
