Army Intelligence.

The death of General Candy reduces
the list of Brigadier Generals on the
United States army register from seven
to the limit of six established by a re-
cent act of Congress, and hence there
is no vacancy created. There will be n
consultation between the President and
General Sherman respecting whatever
changes in military commands are neces-
STATED by General Canby's death. 1t
is believed in army circles that Briga-
der Philip st. George Cook, who en-
tered the army in 1927, will soon be re-
tired on account of his age and long
service, and it is generally thought
Brigadier General Howard will also be
retired, owing l. disabilities received
in the service. c onel George Crook,
who has been III command of various
departments for some years past and
who has recently so satisfactorily dis
charged his duties in Arizonain connec-
ton with the Apache difficulties, will
probably be selected to fill the first
vacant brigadier generalship which may
result from the retiracy of either of
the above named officers.

Petroleum IneXhaustibIe.

According to the statement of the
production of petroleum for 1873, as
published in the Titusville Heraid, the
business appears to be increasing in all
the oil regions, and the opening of new
wells give promise that it will not de-
cline, but may be considered practi-
cally inexhaustible. The production of
the Canadas and the United States
reached the enormous figures of 1894,
600 barrels, or 20,271 barrels daily.
Production has nearly doubled in five
years. The shipments from the Penn
sylvania region We're SIP, 365 barrels,
an increase of between two and three
hundred thousand barrels. The total
export was 3,497, 344 barrels, n decrease
of 25l ,09S barrels. For the first time
in the history of the trade there was a
falling off in the export. This decline
was caused by the attempts of the pro-
ducers and refners to force prices up
early in the year. AS result, Janu-
airy l, 1878, there was a heavy stock on
hand, estimated at more than million
barrels.

MErroRIc SHOWERS, The conjecture
thnt the meteor showers which occurred
so generally over all the earth ON the
o7th of November last, were due to the
passage of our planet through u portion,
Of Biela's comet, has been regarded
with favor by some astronomers and de,
nounced by others. The discovery OF
A comet in the Southern sky by MI
Pogson, the Madras astronomer, on the
I'd of December, was regarded as con
frmatory of the suppos.tion, Ms its
place was that which Biela's comet
would naturally occupy if the earth had
Just passed through it. Now, however,
some persons deny that the comet which
Mr.. Pogson saw is really the lost comet
of Biela, although its probable identity
is maintained by Prof, Klinkeriues and
by Prof. Oppolzer of Vienna.

Railroad Ties.

A recent lumberman's circular esti-
mates the number of railroad ties in
present use in the United States at 100, =
100000. A cut of 200 ties to the
acre is above rather than under the
average, and it therefore has required
the product of 100000 acres of we'll
timbered land to furnish the supply
Railroad ties last about five years !;
consequently 30,000,000 ties are used
annually for repairs, taking the timber
from 1901 acres. The manufacture
of rolling stock disposes of the entire
yield of $50, 900 acres, and full supply
of nearly 800, 600 acres more every year
1t appears, then, that our railroads are
stripping the country at the rate of
1000, 900 acres per annum ; and their
demands are rapidly increasing.

DRY OR WET FUEL.- very general
misunderstanding exists in regard to
the effects of burning wet fuel. 1t is
widely supposed that n certain portion
of water aids combustion and intensifes
the heat of fire. The fact is that while
the water may be decomposed by con-
tact of steam with incandescent carbon
aceous substances into a highly infam-
mable gas, yet exactly the same amount
of heat is needed to produce the decom-
position as is produced in the combus-
ton of its products. The cause and
the result are exact equivalents. If the
water is not decompo I'd, but is merely
converted into steam, large amount of
heat is absorbed and wasted in the pro-
cess. In this case loss occurs, and in
that there is neither gain or loss.

RED TArE.-In the days of King
William the Fourth, of England, when

SHIPPING. Things happen strangely.
While the Atlantic went down, drown
ing 700 people, for the want of proper
outfit of coal, Mr.. Plimsoll, M. p, was
flashing English shipowners into rage by
exposing their stinginess and inhuman-
ity. What he says about , ten ships,
starved and beaten and ill-paid crews,
and vessels sunk or wrecked for want
of ordinary care and provision, is enough
to make the average ship-owner keel
over, if not to throw him on beam S
end. OF course he was denounced as a
mere sensational exaggerator. 1t would
almost seem that the Atlantic sank 90

AFTER SUNKEN TREAsURE.-It NAV be
remembered that about two years back
4 company was formed jim France to
make another attempt to recover the
treasure supposed to have been sunk in
the Spanish galleons in 1902. The pro-
moters of the enterprise did not conceal
the hazardous nature of it ; if successful
the spectators obtained an immense
return for their outlay, but if ended in
failure their capital would be complete
ly lost. This latter eventually has been
realized; the expedition has Just return
ed to Havre, and is now landing the
materials used, consisting of diving ap-
paratus, cranes, &c, and which form
the sole assets Of the company.

TEXAN BEEF.-Beef is now preserved
by new process in Texas, and taken to
England and sold there for ten cents n
pound. The meat, cut into joints, I'M
dergoes a chemical process, is then
packed in casks, which are filled ND
with the blood, and in that condition is
found fresh at the expiration of several
months. Recently some of the meat
thus prepared was cooked and served
up at a dinner in Liverpool; it was pro-
nounced deficient in flavor, but tender
and juicy and free from faint,
