Our Years Finances.

Treasurer Spinner is one of those Off
GERS from whom the people like to hear.
Being free from the responsibility of the
inception of financial measures, not being
accountable for improper theories in the
management Of the monetary affairs of
government, he is the person who in
forms US what are practically the effects
of public measures. And Mr.. Spinner
has just made out the annual report of
his experiences during the fourteenth
year of his occupation of the Treasurer S
office, and he has many interesting things
to say. He tells US that the receipts of
the government during the last year have
fallen all over S36,000,00 This, under
certain circumstances, might be an unalloyed
source of satisfaction. If it convinced us
that the amount of taxation levied upon the
people was reduced to such great measure
of economy, and were coupled with the in
formation that expenses were reduced
in like proportion, the people would be
happy. But no such JOY is deducibie from
the statements of Mr.. Spinner. He tells,
us, indeed, that there has been some re-
trenchmcnt, comparatively little. The
expenditures upon account Of the public
debt have been decreased 81 ,S69,6o2
The difference on the other side is
nevertheless very considerable. The re-
duction in the revenues is principally upon
accout of customs and receipts, about one
third being also diminution from the
receipts of internal revenue. The latter is
a deduction from direct taxation upon our
own industries. The former only shows
that during year of considerable distress
there has not been as much extravaganza
as formerly prevailed. We might say in
the words Of Shakespeare, "For this relief,
muc! thanks" The idea would be consol-
inc, if We could only hope that the course
of economy would continue, but human
nature is not to be trusted in matters in
which personal extravaganza is concerned
any longer than actual necessity seems to
exist for selfdenial. We have imported
less frippcry from Europe during last year
than in former years. But as soon as the
brisk times, so pleasingly predicted by
oltimists shall return luxury and extrava-
cance will be manifested more ostentatiously
than ever

The Largest Vaulted Roof in the World.

The largest vaulted roof in the world is
claimed by Vienna-that belonging to the
great Exposition building. 1t is said to.
cover nine times the space Of the dome of
ct. Paurs. in London, eight times the area
of the dome of st. Peters, and seven times
that of St Sophia at Constantinople. This
miracle of architectural skill is 360 feet in
diameter, 1889 feet round, and stands on q
ring of thirty columns thirty-six feet apart
all around the circumference. Within the
ring Of columns there is 10 support. The
upper dome, 100 feet diameter, admits
light by a series of windows forty feet high
and ten feet wide between thirty columns
which carry the upper dome. The slope
Of the cone is thirty degrees, and the length
of the slope on all sides is 200 feet. The
roof is formed of 800 iron plates tapering
uniformly upward from the circumference
to the apex of the cone. They are rivetedi
like the plates of ship each row Of plates
covers one degree of the circle, and each
bottom plate is one yard wide between the
lines Of rivets, and one meter wide over the
