Fusee " Satan"

NJ. Laurent, the distinguished civil en-
gineer and chemist of the Rue de LOndres,
Paris, has invented a rocket which win be
formidable engine of defense. He has
Shristened it the Fusee Satan. To the end
Of an ordinary rocket is attached a very
slight receptacle Of tin, having exactly the
shape Of a conical bullet. In this recep-
tacle is arranged a chamber filled with a
composition based, we believe, upon sui
phuret Of carbon, which composition, once
lighted, gives out considerable beat. A
fusee communicates from this chamber with
the top Of the rocket. The tin bullet il
filed. just before being used, with petroleum
oil. The lighted rocket rises in the air and
traverses the space necessary to arrive over
certain spot Arrived above its objects,
the rocket sets 'ffe'to the fusee, the compo-
sition in the chamber of the bullet takes
light, bursts its envelope, and at the same
time fires the petroleum, which falls like a
sheet Of flame and continues burning. This
sheet Of fame fills a space Of sixteen to
twenty-four square meters, according to the
ctNO VI buC AOChct. INU. Il lUlOWB one flIeT
of petroleum, No. ? two liters, and No. 8
three liters. Thoy can be thrown distance
Of six kilometers, and aimed with great
precision, being balanced BY means Of long
stick attached to each rocket, which main
tains the elevation given to it at the time
of discharge. Some interesting experiments
were made recently with this weapon at st.
Cloud. In less than ten minutes consid
cradle space Of ground was covered with
sea Of fire. A committee, composed Of su-
PeriOr officers Of artillery, presided over the
experiments, and the general at their head
was appalled, by the terrible nature Of this
engine of destruction.
Just imagine this sea of fire falling upon
the PrussiaE masses, burning everything,
setting light to the cartridges in the soldiers
pouches and to the ammunition vans Of the
artillery. The committee, in its report, says
the journal La France, has declared in ies
opinion no civilized nation could make use
OF these rockets except for reprisals and it
would be only in case oftbe Prussian firing
upon us with petroleum bombs, such as
they used at Slrasbourg, that we should be
entitled to etaliate with the new rockets
However this may be, the Committee Of
Defense bas given the inventor a
large building on the BatignOlIe formerly
a girls school, and has ordered the imme-
date manufacture, on a large scale, of
Satan rockets. From day to day zoo work.
men will be actively employed. and within
a few days they will have sufficient stock
to enable them TO repay the Prussisns in
their own coin. if, as at Strasbourg, they
make use Of unlawful weapons.

What q Drink Costs.

The New York World has been figuring
up the cost Of an occasional drink, and
says:
"Once in a while, pensive man may be
heard to say: l wish had all the money
back that have spent for drinks in the past
ten years Not one man in twenty who,
retrospectively gazing, gives utterance to
that wish, has in bis mind any approx
mating estimates Of The amount which per
sn Of even moderate bibulous propeDsltles
may spend upon drinks in the course OF ten
years. Leaving wines and expensive liquors
out Of the question, let us see what plain
cocktailist or modest imbiber Of old rye is
likely to disburse on bis favorite refreshment
in the course Of one year.
Take q very moderate man for n sample.
Assume that be drinks every day one glass
Of ale ut ten cents and four glasses of whis
Ky ut fifteen cents. That amounts to seven
~ cents
That amounts to seventy cents day
whioD makes 80 q week. Multiply b
four and you have $3.50 month, whis
comes 10 $2S5, 90 year. Thus II tho ma
had gone on this rate for tsn years, bad hi
lmonsy bs1k, his pockets could be initiate

A recent correspondent of the New York
Telegram, speaking Of the habits Of the re-
Gently imported John Chinaman, says:
One of the most curious features Of the
Chinese emigration is that the emigrants
carry with them one Of the most interesting
of their institutions. It is, of course, gen
orally known that the original Celestials
were conquered by the Tartars. that Tar
tar dynasty was lifted to the throne Of the
Chinese empire, and that the Tartar garri-
sons were scattered all over the land. All
this occurred many hundred years ago.
But curious societies of the Ghee Hins and
the Toe Peh Kongs, the former established
for the purpose of restoring the Ming dy-
nasty, and the latter for the purpose Of
maintaining the Tartar supremacy, sprung
up at that period, and the feud has been
kept up ever since. All Cinnamon belong
to one or the other of these organizations.
The Gbee HDs live in one street. and the
Toe Pah Kongs in another. Each society
has its flags, and all its members are armed.
On great occasions, public displays of their
strength are made, and very frequently an
attack is ventured upon by the onparading
organization, and bloody struggle ensues.
Such faction fights are very common in
Australia.
Until lately very little was known about
these societies. But about two years ago,
in the island Of Pewang, there was riot
among the Cinnamon, which lasted seven
teen days, and in which 1000 men were
killed. The British government were pow
erless to stop it, and, perhaps, as the Chi
namen did not attempt to molesil Europeans,
they were not very anxious to do SO. But
committee was appointed, alter everything
was over, to find out the true character of
the offending organizations.
For some time, none CT the witnesses
summoned bad the courage to tell the truth
about the objects and rites of their organiza-
tions, but, ut last man came forward who
made clean breast Of it.
The rites Of initiation, as be described
them, are very elaborate, and occupy nearly
a whole day They began soon after day
break. The candidate, having been prop
erly dressed and adorned with certain en-
blems, is ushered into the lodge blindfolded.
The bandage is taken from his eyes, and he
finds himself in the midst of men who are
al armed wit devices such as naturally in-
spire terror. 2 next thing done is to cut
otf the head Of the fowl The candidate is
asked to carefully look q the operation, and
10 remember it well, for similar fate would
befall him if he should betray the secrets
hat are soon to be con6ded to bis discre-
liOn. Then comes the oath of good faith.
It is administered by the President, and is
minute and rigid, and so lengthy
hat its reading occupies two hours. The
is next handed over to the care Of
some Of the brethren, who instruct him in
he pass words and secret signs The cere-
nony concludes with a sumptuous repast,
cooked according to certain prescribed
niles

workingmen's Cooperative Towns

The success that has attended the estab-
lshment of workingmen's towns on the
Upper Rhine is praiseworthy, and com
mends itself to the careful consideration of
the American workingmen. In 1888 a
company was organized in the town OF
Mulhouse and generous contribution on
the part of Napoleon favored The enterprise
beyond all expectation, and made it a COM
plete success. Initiating the example set
by Mulhouse, the town Of Guebwlller, and
other manufacturing localities on the Lower
Rhine have established workingmeu s towns.
The industrial society of Mulhouse has
published a report, from NJ. Penot, giving
the plan and workings Of these societies.
We give few extracts rom the report and
commend them to the careful consideration
of our readers.
The plan the Mulhouse Society pro-
posed to itself to carry out was to con-
struct houses adapted to the accommoda-
ton Of a single family. and to sell them at
cost price to the workingmen, granting
them long terms of payment, extending to
fourteen, or even sixteen years. When the
houses do not Immediately ind purchasers,
thew are let. The sale Of the houses are
made on certain conditions, the object Of
which ID the maintenance Of order, cleanll-
ness and certain external uniformity but
without putting any unpleasant restraint on
the purchaser. No workman is eligible
to the purchase or hire of house unless be
engages to send bis children to school.
A deposit Of from G10 to 912, accord
ing to the value Of the proPerty,is required
upon effecting the purchase the remainder
Of the purchase money in monthly install
ments Of fifteen shillings to pound, unit
the whole amount is iquidated. If Z
workingman desires to become the par
chaser of a house before be has saved tbt
E1O or E12 required as first deposit, h'
NAV still obtain possession Of the house on
the sole condition Of increasing the amoun
of bis monthly payments until the increase
amounts to the sum required as deposit
1t is to be remarked that the sale OF th'
houses has always been progressive of th'
100 houses constructed, 614 had found
purchasers BY the S0th Of August lsst, ,ant
liz are already paid for in full, and man.
of the houses constructed in 1858 an'
l844 during the first two years Of th
building of the town, require the psymsn
of very small sums to become free from
mortgage. When any unforeseen circum
stance renders it impossible for the pur
chaser to continue his payments, facilitie
for bis release from bis liability are freel
Afforded him. This transaction is alway
made pleasant one; for the buyer is the
regarded as if be had been merely tenant
and the surplus of bis monthly payments
restored TO him. As for bis irst instalmeI
Of flO or fl2,it is returned to him in full
with interest, for it has not been employe,
as the act Of sale delayed until the certaint
Of the purchase being completed is place
beyond doubt.
