week in August One Of the Vienna papers con-

does not consist so much in the exhibition of mus
cular strength as IN their adroit elasticity and their

fellow, the boys beautiful children. The spectator
is surprised and delighted at their featnerke leaps,
and their bounds are daring as if their bodies
were made of Indian rubber instead of verltable
bone and muscle. Their elegant silver dresses the
variety OF their feats, the novelty and above ALL the
refined and classic taste that marks every phase of
their performance at once, stamped their popu-

The ZoLLvEREIN.-Amongt the causes that here
exercise the greatest influence the state OF manu-
features, the extent of the market may be ranked
the first The Zollveren III this point of view has
lite to envy France there being % 900 600 of
consumers instead of 35,00O00O, that the differ
ence is very small. Another point of the first i'm
portance is the means of communication. In thai
Germany is worse provided than are she has
few navlgable rivers, scarcely any canals, and 1t is
the latter which afford the means OF cheap convey
ance; her roads are good those In France, but
they are burdened with heavy tolls. As to rail-
roads, she is In about the same condition as France;
she possesses them only In perspective. Another
important consideration connected with manufac-
lures, is the high price OF the raw material Coal
abounds in u few of the German proninces, in Se-
sla, on the banks of the Ruhr, in Westphaa, well
asat Sarrebruck, about the same price in France
The Zolvereln produces every year 215O,0OO tons;
the produce of France is $500 600 tons and Of Eng
LAM 80 600 900 TONS With regard 10 iron without It's
being cheaper than in England, or in Belgium II
affords 10 the consumer better conditions than with
us. M. Goldenberg estimates that in the Iollvereln
ton ,O00 kilos) of rough castings, with coke, is
worth S5f, while in France it is 1901 tor rough
castings, with wood, the prices respectively l2Of
and l7W The Germans are very skllu metalur-
glsts; they excel IN casting articles OF taste, and
from their ores, called spathiques, they manufacture
steel which has been long renowned. We have
the same in Dauphne, but we have not discover
ed the means OF turning TO such good account; and
line steel, which IS OF the first importance IN making
the finest kinds of tools, is very dear with With
regard to other materials, which produced
by agriculture, circumstances which may be called
artificial, and which due to the foresight OF the
Governments and to the judgment OF private indivi-
duas, give advantage to Germany. Thus the
woods OF Germany are OF very superior quality.
