The biggest electric sign in the world is hung on the western expo sure of a building at Spring and Mnc dougal streets, New York. Flashing its light across the Hudson, this sign may bo read miles away on the New Jersey side, and so deceptive are its dimensions to those in Jersey or the millions that cross the river by .day and night that few realize the area over which the glittering letters are distributed. The initial “B” is sixty eiglit feet high. This approximates the height of an ordinary five stbry building. The smaller letters c< im pietlng the word are fifty feet b gh, en tTH’nexTin- curel'iiis e n 'lar line at least four ordinary sroi ids. The letters are five feet wide, an I a full grown man could almost lie dtavn between the edges. About 1,400 .fee trie lights are used for the iliun jna tion—this approximating the number of lights used in the entire illumina tion of many small towns. It requires practically all the time of one man to replace the burned out lamps, and it is interesting to watch film as he works upon his swinging scaffold, hundreds of feet in the air at times.— New York Post. A New Problem. It is reported that more than 1,000 Hindoos have crossed the Canadian border into the state of Washington recently and have become competitors in the labor market of the state.

A gang here and there makes an impression on the traveler without being noticeable because of its size. But there is a population of 294,301,000 in India, an area of 1,700,042 square miles, as against a population that is probably considerably less than 400,000,000 on an area of 1,532,420 square miles in China, and a popula tion of 47,000,000 on an area of 147,055 ■ square miles in Japan.—Chicago Rec ord-Herald. Vanishing Old London. The “Old Curiosity Shop,” ;n Ports mouth street, and other contiguous property leading into Lincoln’s Inn Fields, are being demolished, the free hold having been sold, and a block of business premises will bo erected. The quaint looking building, which has had a great fascination for American tour ists, is said to be more than 300 years old, dating back to the ear!-,- days of James 1., but the fact has never been established that this was the “Old Curiosity Shop” Immortalized by Dick ens. The lucrative attraction of the name of the great humorist will there fore come to an end, but the tenants of the shop have received compensa tion and will carry on their printing business in Great Queen street.— Pall Mall Gazette.
