AB'tho present water supply of Bombay dependa upon dofootivo works, a hugo dam has boon designed to Inclose tho watershed of tho valloy which drains into tho noa south of Bombay. Solely with tho aid of na tivo labor Engineer Glover, a Scotchman by birth, bogan thia gigantic Btruoturo, which, it ia expected, "will bo completed in March noxt. it ia 3 miles long, 118 foot in height and 108 feqt wldo at tho baso. Tho roadway on tho top is to bo 24 fooC^ln^jdd'Cli/ and tho Btono work will coot lu>lf a, million sterling. Tho lake of water which this dam will imprison will bo eight square miles in area, so that Bombay noou bo nuder no apprehension onco tho viceroy has offi cially declared tho aluicce open and tho pipes of sixty milos long aro in working ordor. Mr. Glover has 12,000 Hindoos, nil of whom ho has trained to tJbis ?peoial work, omployed on tho dam.

A . man of commanding nppoarnnco, about 28 years of ago nnd nicely drcased, stopped at tho rosidonco of Georgo Hot tel, a farmer, who lives south of Mas coutah, Friday morning, and asked for a breakfast, which ho said ho was willing to pay for. Whilo tho farmer was pre paring breakfast tho stranger pocketed n gold watch and a small amount in money which woro lying on a bureau in an fidjuiniug bedroom. Mi', tiottei subsequently wont to tho room and dis covered tho theft; Ho charged tho gen tlemanly stranger with having thorn, ?-and tho latter promptly covered him keep his mouth shut on penalty or being shot. Tho farmer'Bwifo then attempted to assist her husband out of bia predica ment, but was promptly knocked down hy the Btranger, who made 1 lotte 1 ' and his wife elt opposite him nt tho table, with their hands behind them, whilo ho quietly enjoyed hie breakfast. Having appeased his appetite ho coolly shook hands with the farmer and his wife, bado them an affectionate farawell, took to tho woods with his plundor and has not boen heard from.-St. Louis Republic. Deserting Iceland. - They hovo been taking A census in Iceland recently, and they are in trouble thoro, too; but their trouble is not about tho congressional roprosontation. It ia something oven moro serious. It ap pears that so great has boen the hegira to Canada and tho United States it has talton away from tho island fully 20,000 people. This does not scorn suoh a very large number, except when ono consid ers that tito original population was only , About.80,000. One-fourth of tho ontiro population thon has emigrated I Tho re sult is disastrous. Taxes have boon greatly increased, whilo properties have becomo reduced in valuos. Tho har vests, too, havo bcGh greatly loosened. Thero Booms to bo but ono w? y out for tho Icelanders. Thoy must all follow tho vanguard and abandon their island to tho walrus and bear. Perhaps a few centuries hence somo Professor Horsford will discover ovldonco of human habita tion at somo pro-historio ago in Iceland. -Boston Advertiser.

Tho power of a waterwheel of somo twenty horso power will bo employed, and tho implo mont for working tho land is expected to work at a dietanco of throe miles from tho generating dynamo. So far as the electrical plant is concerned nil is right, but a deficiency of mechanical and agri . cultural knowlodgo on tho part of those intrusted with tho work Booms likely to ; -?nico i)ii.,-f rial n failure, Tills Jo much to bo regretted, as tho promoters of tho experiment havo boen fortunato in Und ina a landowner who is disposed to maleo a trial of such an important application of electricity.-Industrios.

Tho regimental bear of tho Seven teenth lancers, which has recently come to England wi th his regiment, took fur lough without permission and started out to inspect B he vu oliffe, much to tho alarm of tho inhabitants.
