the dedication of the new and
splendid Jewish synagogue corner of
Lexington avenue and SD street, a
portion Of the first chapter of Gene

words ,, Let there be light and there

grand burst of melody the whole
church was instantaneously lighted

THE LAYING OF JOISTS.


The positive carelessness with
which joists for flooring are laid in
building. is the more remarkable
when weaconsider what an amount
of mischief, in case of fire, is really
attributable'to the negligent manner
in which they are located. Nothing
weakens wall more than to insert
the ends Of joists III the ends Of Joists
in the work. To build them in is to
superinduce; to lay them in loosely
SO as to let the air get at then, is to
make wall weak with many detach.
ed breaks. Either of these modes is
dangerous in the event of fire, from
the fact that the ends Of the joists
keep on burning and charing until
the very heart of the wall they were
dependent on IS so damaged at every
story as to assure its complete
destruction. The brickwork around
them being at furnace heat. when
water is played forcibly and sudden
" upon it, it Immediately cracks and
breaks from the ac ion of the n
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS steam in its
pores and joists. Il. 70 afg Ell
g 10 insure the safety of walls, they
should be corbeled out very gradually
as the bed of the jOists of each story
is approached, the projection being
four inches. The ends of the ioists
should be sawed off to beyel Of four
inches, the lowest being the longest
end; and that projecting bevel of four
inches should est upon the wall,
which, with the four inches of
corbeli 6, will give eight inches of
actual bearing for the joists. without
deteriment to the walls. Then. in
he case of fire, or falling of the floor
the beveled ends of the joists would
easily slip from their place W theut
wrenching the pals, and the bad
effects which at present follow sucll
catastrophies would thus be obviat-
ed.
In dwelling-houses, this corbeling
Of the walls would work in as a
foundation for the cornices of the
several rooms, and prove no mean
advantage against the access of rats
and mice to til floors through the
Turing, which at present offers them
such excellent opportunities. This
system OF corbeling the wall-beds of
Joists is not by any m ans novelty.
1t is praticed in the construction of
large storehonses, and has in all cases
proved efficient. s 1
Iron stirrups are sometimes used
to help sustain the joists. These
pass through the wall, and are arch.
ored on the outside, every fifth joist
being so secured, similar to the way
in which fooring-beams are usually
fastened, But this practice is obiec-
tlonable, inasmuch as the iron gett-
ing redhot under the violent influence
OF condagration, would expand
sufficiently to iborst the brickwork
around it, and render the wall unsafe
wherever such stirrups or supports
are present. These being on every |
floor, and at equal and frequent in
tervals, could not fail to have most
mischievous influence.
The safest method of setting ioists
is to have them as much as tached
from the heart Of the wall as possible.
at the same time giving them good
and efficient bearing upon, and from
it. This is effected by means of
corbeling, as here given and recon
monded.

A lady belonging to the highest
circles of society In Holland met re-
Gently with mysterious adventure
which has excited a good deal Of
speculation. Having occasion to go
from Rotterdam to Utrecht, and be-
ing alone. she took a coupfor herself.
The instant the train started a we'll

ance jumped intothe coup and seated
himself opposite the young lady. AT
ter the expiration of few minutes the
intruder suddenly addressed his elsa

What could the young lady do? Pale

the intruder, pulling out a pocket

The young lady suffered hcrselft to be

full silence, which seemed to her CEN
fury, the frightened girl was permitted
to remove the handkerchief. But
who can describe her amazement! In

Nature says: ''The mode in which
fore is act in increasing the amount
Of moisture in the atmosphere is much
misunderstood. Even in an article
which recently appeared in the pages
of so well-inforned a journal as the
tUmaaU Gagette, it is affirmed that
this effect is due to the attraction ex.
ercised by the trees on the rain-cloud.
The principle by which trees act in
effecting this is, however, at lease
mainly, by acting aspumps in draw
ing up the superaous moisture from
the soil. The most trustworthy ex-
perlments show that, under normal
circumstances plants have no power
of absorbing through their leaves
W alter, either In the fluid or gaseous
state; their supplis are obtained en-
tirely through their roots, and the SUI
perHuous moisture is eyaporated from
the leaves. The amount of aqueous
vapor thus delivered into the atmo \
phere by vegetation is enormous, and
has been the subject of carful inves-
legations by French and German bot
anists. Won Pettenkofer recently de-
allied some experiments on the
amount of evaporation from an oak
tree. made during the whole period f
It's summer growth. He found the
amount gradually to incrsase from
May to July, and then decrease till
October. The num5er Of leaves on
the tree he estimated at 751, 1922. and
the total amount of evaporation in
the year at 539.16 centrimetress Of
water The average depth of rain
fall for the same period on the area
covered by the oak-tree would be
only So centinetres; the amount Of
evaporation is thus 81 times more
than that of the rainfall. The ex-
cess must be drawn up by the roo
from great depth; and thus trees
prevent the gradual drying of a eli
mate by restoring to the air the mois-
ture which would otherwise be carried
to the sea by streams and rivers.
"The immediate result, therefore,
of the diminution of forests in thick
woodedcountry will be to increase the
proportion of the annual rainfall that
is carried to the sea by the natural
drainage of county, and proportion
ately to decrease the amountreturned
lnsensibiy to the atmosphere byI

THE NEW MORALITY.

II ia a question as old as the science of
criticism and of morals, whether men should
be Judged according to their works or accord
ing to their lights. We are to-day cOntribu-
ting some valuable illustrations to future dis
cussions Of this question. The punishment of
Tweed, which is universally held as not only
salutary but just, was inflicted under rule
of law and of public opinion totally different
from that which was prevalent ut the time
his crimes were committed. There is little
doubt that while he and Connolly and their
compeers were engaged in robbing the public
treasury, they persuaded themselves that the
spos were the rightful reward OF superior
skill and ability, and that the stealing they
did was az much portion of their pro-
fession of politics as their electiOneering
and their manipulation of votes and voters.
They heard among their friends and assOci-
ates no other morality preached and they re-
garded the denunciations of portion of the
press and the people as the mere expression
of an outside discomfort proceeding from
those who wanted themselves a share of the
pluDder 1t is probable that when Tweed rose
on Saturday to hear his sentence, from Judge
Davis he regarded it as the triumph of his
enemies and not as the vindicatiOn of % viO-
lated law. Still it is not possible but that his
conviction and punishment should have an
excellent effect upon men of his kind, and in
deed upon the community at large. Visible
and tangible symbols have always great in
huence upon beliefs. The fact that the most
| wealthy and powerful member of the old
| Tammany Ring is prisoner for twelve years
| on Blackwells Island, will have decided
tendency to convince many men, who would
never have learned the lesson in any other
way, that stealing from the public is the
same, in moral quality, as stealing from your
| neighbours pocket or till.
| This impression is not to be allowed to die
away for want of fresh examples. A jury has
been obtained to try Ingersoll and Harrington
for forgery-nOt "pOlitcs,' but forgery. II
probably did not occur to them that they were
committing 80 common crime when they
executed those lucrative signatures. Assembly
man Harry Genet is subjected to still
seyerer shock. He thought, and his world
thought, it WAS venial peccadillo to use
public material to put in his house. But the
indictment calls it what it literally was, lar
ceny. and there are few uglier words in any
language. Others will follow in quick success
sion, and by the time they are finished there
ia reason to hope that the average conscience
of the New-Yor politician will have received
an impression which century of preaching
and writing would never have given, that il

is pretty nearly as unsafe to rob the state az
il is to rob an individual.
THE GREAT FINANCIAL MEAS URE.@

Mr.. Richardson was questioned the other
day as to his views Oh the Cuban question.
His answer was characteristic of the trench
dous intellect which governs the finances OF
this great Republic. He believed in MIR. Fish.
That was what he thought about Cuba. lie
had the fullest confidence in the Secretary OF
State, and if that officer wanted money he
was prepared to back him up to the full ex-
tent of the cash in the Treasury. Mr.. hich-
ardson is as good as his word. The Govern
ment is getting ready for war, and fitting out
ships, and arming the forts, and putting tor
pedoes and things in the harbOrs, and people
say it will need several hundred millions
before it gets through but our Great
Minister of Finance rises to the occa-
sion. He has issued an order modifying
his celebrated scheme of resumption. Here
after silver will be paid out, not in sums
of five dollars, but only in fractional parts OF
dollar. The time is coming when we ought
to be economical. Experience has satisfied
the Secretary that man with five dollars III
his pocket is constantly tempted to rash ex
penditures. He takes too many drinks ana
too many cigars. He wastes money on col
ored neck ties. He plays pin-pool and rides
in Eomnibuses when he is quite able to walk.
Hereafter Mr.. Richardson has determined
that none of US shall have more than dollar
at a time. Then we shall take care of our
money, and the Treasury will have more
specie for Cuban purposes. The drain upon
the resources of the Government by the hYe-
dollar system of resumption has amounted to
seven thousand dollars in three weeks. Under
the new plan of course it will take fifteen
weeks to draw out seven thousand dollars,
and the cash in the Treasury will last ever so
much longer. We can go to war now without
any fear Of the consequences.
And after all, is not a dollar as much as
any man wants. He can get a dinner with IT.,
or take his girl to the circus, or purchase hat
full of five cent cigars, or buy cheap dog.
We suppose of course the Secretary Will take
measures to see that no disreputable spend
thrift after getting rid of one dollar, shall
come back and ask for another. 1t would be
troublesome TO spot every man who draws his
allowance; but it might be possible to mark
them all in isome indelible manner as fast as
they are paid--to cancel the applicants, If we
may be allowed the eXpressiOn-so that the
whole country can have fair chance.
Meanwhile it is gratifying to know that
though the exigences of the times have forced
the Great Minister of Finance to go slow, the
great scheme of specie resumption has not
been abandoned. The distribution of small
change goes on at the rate of nearly five
hundred dollars week, and at this rate the
entire volume of fractional currency will be
absorbed in about eighteen hundred years.

4 SrpERFLUITY OF MONEY.

1t is now clear to all observing persons that
the direction of the forces which acted on
prices during the first two months of the panic
has been reversed. Prices are again expand
ing and confidence in better state of affairs
is visibly returning. 1t seems to us a fitting
time to examine into the influences which
operate ON prices. We shall consider our
paper money to be the measure of prices, and
we shall then have Oh the one side the paper
money, and on the other commodities, wages,
securities, and everything else which has q
price, or is actually or virtually in the market
for sale. We shall have but four things to
consider:
1. The supply of Commodities
2. The demand for Commodities.
8. The supply of Money.
4. The demand for Money.
There can be no alteration in prices without a
change in one of these four things. Let us
now examine the effect of panic on the four
elements which determine the course OF
prices. We shall find that all four of them
are affected in such way as to cause prices
to fall. We are speaking, of course, of com
modties as a whole, being well aware that
there are many exceptions to the general rule.
l. 1t will be admitted that during the panic
many securities and commodities were pressed
on the market for sale. In ordinary times
commodities which are held back have no
direct influence ON prices. Great masses Of
commodities are often not for sale at the cur
rent prices, being withdrawn, and generally
for the express purpose Of obtaining higher
price.
2. In ordinary times the demand for com
modities 10 mainly for two purposes, either 70

The Cincinnati Gazette has given its attention to Mr.
William Shakespeare in a long and scathng editorial
1t rails in such good set terms that if Gentle Will were
at present of this life it would not surprise to
hear of his politely calling upon the editor with a
cane and demand for retraction. The play of
"The Merchant of Venice" /" is unworthy of per-
petuation," says this editor; 1T is bru-
talizing;" sit is one of the examples that
Shakespeare had no aims above the humor
of the times and that he was ready to seize
on nhuman prejudice and cruel injustice when they
would furnish materials for popular drama" AS
for the characters Bassanios spendthrift who has
squandered his own estate and borrowed heavily
of his soft friend Antonio, and who proposes to
borrow more in order TO tit him out splendidly for
gjmarriage adventure; Antonio is a
dashing Jim Fisk kind of merchant, who has had
some good luck and grown presumptuous upon it,
The whole spirit of tho play according to the critic
is one of savage injustice toward the Jews and he
does MT like it. How sad liz the reflection that the
early death Of Shakespeare deprived him Of this
advice and encouragement.
