THE .timer -^||essrng«r. PCHLISUEO EVERY THURSDAY -BY- A. FDGAH NIX. Over thirteen hundred trade journals are now published in the United States. Statistics go to show that thc malt population of the civilized world is fail¬ ing farther aud farther behind the fe¬ male. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce is informed that the engineering world will shortly be startled by theappeiraneo of a new engine which will revolutionize motive power. A few days ago, ' soliloquizes the Bos ton Trnnmint American A™* • , boomers ,, were all headed for Canada. Now Canadian boodta, coming across «h, border. Boodling is a bad rule that wiwl-d orh.s hnih ootn ways. A weighing machine has been invented which weighs cars at the rate of six per minute, the cars being moved along the track. A device automatically records the weights on a piece of tape similar to that used on the ticker machine. While flats are becoming increasingly popular iu France among people of mod¬ erate means, people in a corresponding position in Germany are as anxious to live in houses of their own, and a corn pauy has just been formed iu Berlin to finable them to do so. The native population of Alaska has decreased 8000, or over twenty per cent., in ten years. The cause, laments the St. Louis Republic , was the usual one—edu¬ cation by association with white people and the attempt to assimilate the highly developed vices of civilization. Says the San Francisco Chronicle: Over one hundred of the Mescalero Apaches in New Mexico have asked that lands be set apart for them in severalty. Quite recently an extensive allotment of this sort was made iu the Southern part of this State. This is the correct solu tion of the Indian problem. Give them the same privileges as the white man, and no more, and let them sink or swim. Two new Atlantic liners, to be 600 feet long and faster than anything afloat are guaranteed by the builders to be ready for sea early in the spring of 1S93. They will be almost as long as the Great Eastern, though not nearly so wide. They will have quite as much eugiue power as that unfortunate steamship had, but it will be so compact aud econo¬ mized that it will not occupy one-third as much space nor be one-quarter the weight of thc old paddle and screw engines. It is difficult to estimate, confesses the New York News, the amount of money that has been left in Europe this year by American tourists. Taking all the ex¬ penses into consideration, however, the passages out and home and the average sum disbursed on the other side, the aggregate cannot be far from $75,000, 000. All of this has to be paid out of the products of labor in this couu try,and if it is not returned in the shape of the gold paid for our wheat, petrole¬ um aud other articles, it will represent the cost paid by this country for the pleasure of its citizens abroad.

This pyramid and the sixty-nine other sepulchers, pyramids still standing were built for all this great pile of granite and limestone by which we stand to-day, to cover the memory of a dead king.
