That means n I rout 100 for- every male in habitant, or sixty-eight for every man, • woman rind child in the United States. New York state, Virginia and North Carolina have a monopoly of the manu facture. Some 50,000,000 cigarettes not included in the above figures have also been imported from Europe. The San Erancisco I'.r.i iiiinir says that the steamship City of Sydney, which recently arrived in that port, brought SOO,OOO worth of Chinese girls to replen ish the slave quarters of that city. Though such importation is against the Chinese restriction net, against the con tract lalmr act, and against a still .older law, their owners find no serious diffi culty in landing these costly chattels. A few dollars for witnesses, something more for u lawyer, and $17.50 apiece for court fec< will settle the matter. in n lending editorial the London remarks: “When an American ilevotes himself to a tusk of practical skill he is apt to he hard to beat, in it. Americans have not so many outdoor pursuits ns We have, but such ns they have they take very seriously. They have given us the lu st tishing-rods and their skill in casting Ihe fly would put our be t anglers on their mettle. They can shoot and they can ride in their own way ns well ns the best of us, ns the ‘Wild West’ has shown. We can hold our own in rowing, but they beat us in sailing. T hey arc beginning to compete with us in horse racing, and in trotting matches they have no rivals. They are nowhere besides us in cricket, but their skill in base ball, a game which has a science of its own, is marvellous. ” A t at Caprice. t'ntsnre the favorite pets at present, and this caprice dates from Luchon, where Frenchwomen were varying little kittens about during the late season. They are now earn 'd about on a little bahut on the top of th" bustle, and will, it is prophesied, occupy the inside of the big muffs that an; about to appear, The eccentric I’rince*. Isabenu de Beau vois lias much to do with this notion. In her pocket there is usually a tiny kitten, and in her mull carried all through the fall and decorated with ar tificial flow ers and ribbons-, there is one often mor. than one, pug or pup of some kind, for the accommodation of which animal it is very evident that the , muff is taken about. ■ lk.>n<’..tir U.int/ilj/.

Astronomical authority fixes the light emitted by all tin- stars upon the Surface of the globe as equal to one-tenth of I the light of the full moon. The famous gold and silver work which gave Damascus a reputation . throughout the world is said to havo j fallen into drray. Fino goldsmith’s work is no longer asked for, ami all that Europe seems to require are cheap speci mens of silver plated filagree work, such* bracelets, brooches anil armlets. The following is a list of the heaviest 1 hammers in Europe from an historical point of view : Fr. Krupp, Essen, 1868, forty tons; Terni Works, Italy, 1873, fifty tons; Creusot, France, 1887, eighty , tons; Cockerill, Belgium, 1885, one ( hundred tons; Fr. Krupp, Essen, 1886. I one hundred and fifty tons. The last is n w the heaviest steam hammer in the world. I'he carrying Capacity of a railway car of t< n tons tins been figured on by sorne ! body, who gives this as n result: Wheat, fit 6 bushels; corn, 400 bushels; pota -1 toes, 430 bushels; apples, 370 bushels; ; oats, 680 bushels; lumber, 6000 feet; butter, 20,000 pounds; flour, 90 barrels; ' whiskey, 60 barrels; wood, 6 cords; | cattle, 18 to 20 head; hogs, 50 to 60 head, and sheep, 80 to 100. Professor Gould has ascertained that aerial telegraph wires on poles transmit electricity at the rate of from 14,000 to 16,000 miles per second, and that the velocity of transmission increases with the distance between the wires and the earth, or, in other words, with the height i of suspension. Hubterrancan wires, like submarine cables, transmit slowly. Wheatstone s experiments in 1833 seemed to show a velocity of 288,000 miles per second, but this result has never been confirmed. The experiment of fishing with elec tric lamps enclosed in glass globes as a litre to the prey has not as yet provDl a success. A vessel thus equipped re cently made a cruise to the Isle of Man. The lamps were sunk with the beam of the net to the depth of forty or fifty fathoms, the glass globe having been three-eighths of an inch thick, but the pressure of the water was too great fol the glass, which broke, and the lights went out. Experiments with stronger glass arc to be made. Powdered glass is largely taking the place of sand in the manufacture of sand paper. It is readily pulverized by heat ing it red hot ami throwing it into water, the finishing being done in ay iron mortar. By the use of sieves of different sized meshes, the powder is separated into various grades. A strong paper or muslin is tacked down and covered with a strong of glue, the surface covered with powdered glass, and when the glue is dry the surplus glass is shaken or brilshed off. Why is it that a boat sailing before the wind w ill not go as fast as one sailing with the same wind on the quarter? It is this, says a nautical authority: A boat sailing before the wind can go no faster than the wind that drives it. A boat sailing with the wind on the quarter has the force of the wind continually pushing*it. That is, when the boat ac quires a speed equal to that of the wind the force still beam upon its sails; as one walking across a current of air will always feel it, but when walking with that same velocity with the current will feel no wind. Two interesting physical experiments are amusing French scientific men. In the first a lighted candle is placed be hind a bottle and the hitter is blown upon with the breath at a distance of about n foot. The meeting of the air currents set in motion around the bot tle quickly extinguishes the flume, though extinction would bo impossible if a flat board or sheet of cardboard should be substituted for the bottle. For the second experiment two bottles are placed on a table with a space of half an inch between them. The can dle is set behind this space and from the same distance as before, on the opposite side, the breath is blow n smartly against the flame. Not only will the latter con tinue burning, but it will incline slightly toward the operator as .if through the effort of suction. This phenomenon, analogous to the first, is due to the fact that a portion of the aii cannot pass between the bottles, and is forced mound them and back toward the experimenter. The Cardinal's Hat. The peculiar red hat worn by the car dinals for a few moments when they re ceive their titles, thesnnle asthe one that ean be se> n suspended over the altar in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, has arrived from Homo for Cardinal Gibbons. The shape of this hut is somewhat like a big Mexi can sombrero, and it has a bunch of thirteen tassels ranged in graduated lines attached to the side. When the cardinal gets his ring and titleone of those hats is put on his head for n few minutes by the pope, and then it is taken off and never use.l again. When the cardinal dies it is put at the loot of his bier, and when he is i Jmried it is susp Hided over the altar of I his church until his successor is np i pointed just asthe one that can now be seen at tli ■ cathedrals. When Cardinal Gjibons got bis title Irst year in Home I the same hat was use I for himself and I,he other cardinals created at the same film'. The red hat that has just arrived | heri is for his personal use. Another hat was sent to Cardinal Tasehercau,for me Archbishop of Quebec.--.V r York ’ Hutter and Furrier. A Monarch of the Mountains. Fifty miles from the head of Com mencement bay, the southeastern ex . treinity of Puget sound, towers Mount Ta. onia, the highest peak in the I’nited States, with the single exception of Mount St. Elias, in Alaska. Seen trom the city of Tacoma, this is undoubtedly the most imposing mountain upon the continent. Even late in June the crests of the Cascade range are white with snow, giving them an appearance of as great altitude as the mountain chains of Colorado seen from the elevated plateaus or valleys of that region, yet th • Cascades seem to nestle at the very feet of kingly Tacoma, ami are dwarfeii to low lying hills by its siqx : ior height.
