The Armies of Europe.

A German paper publishes a state
ment concerning the increase that has
taken place In the armies of Europe
since 1859. The forces of Austria have,
it says, increased by 90, $50, and amount
at present to $50, $50 men Russia has
augmented her armies, which now num-
Der 1,519. $40 men, by 295,660. Italy
counts 2S7, $50 more soldiers than in
1859, and her present aggregate mill
tary strength is 705, 200 men; the Ger
man empire can summon to the field
l POI 160men, anincreaseo 464, 360since
the abolition of the Federal Constitu-
ton. The French army, 977, $50 strong,
is greater by 337, 100 than that main
tanned by Louis Napoleon, and under
the new organization is steadily increas-
ing. Great Britain, including volun-
teers, has added 233, 020 to the total of
her land forces, which now include
AIS, $50 men. The Swedish army OF
204, $40 has been augmented by 69,6l0 I;
the Belgian army of SO, $50, by IL, $40 /;
and the Dutch army of GA, 800, by 5,770
men. Denmark alone has diminished
her war power, her present army of
4S, 200 being less by $3.50 men than In
1859. These figures bring out the
startling conlusions that the additions
to these armies during the last fifteen
years amount to no less than 1889, 800
men, and thai the number of soldiers
of all descriptions at present at the dis
posal of the different governments of
Europe show a grand total of 6,110,-
600. In the Austrian army TO every
900 combatant foot soldier there are
103 cavalry and four field guns; in the
European army of Russia, 17S cavalry
and four guns /; in the army of Asia,
$40 horsemen and three guns; in the
italian army, fifty-seven cavalry and
three guns; in the German, III cavalry
and three guns N the French, 119 and

The Path of the IsraeliteS.

The Oriental Congress recently held
in London, discussed among many
other things, the tradition of the pass
age of the Red Sea by the Israelites.
A paper was read on this theme by
Brugsch Bey, distinguished Egyptian
scholar. He was commissioned, some
time since, by the Viceroy of Egypt to
determine as exactly as might be the
precise geographical location of the
famous passage. He has studied the
country carefully. In support of his
theory, he submitted maps, copies of
old inscriptions, geological drawings,
etc. The country north of the Red Sea,
between it and the Mediterranean, is in
many places low and marshy. 1t is IL
able to overflow. Geology shows that
A high wind will even now send .he
waters of the Red Sea rolling far to the
northward OF their usual boundary.
The path pursued by the Israelites was
north of the present limits of the sea.
Brugsch Bey's geographical researches
have shown this. His theory is that the
Hebrews reached the low-lying region
at a time when it was overfowed; that
the waters subsidized to their natural
level On account of lull in the wind,
and thus allowed safe passage; and that
the pursuing Egyptians were caught,
as single travellers have sometimes been
since, by the northward rush of the
water driven by another high wind from
the south. This plausible theory,
which reconciles the Biblical account
with the possibilities of science. was
generally accepted by the Congress.
The Brooklyn argus says that DR.. J..
p. Thompson, of the New York Taber-
nacle, has already come to this conclu-
sion, and that he has not been alone in
his views. Thesubmission of the theory
shows that scientific researches may

The New Bessemer Steamship.

The successful launch of the steamer
Bessemer, constructed for passenger
transportation across the British Chan
mel, Is an event in naval architecture of
no little interest. The construction of
the vessel is upon entirely new princi-
pies, and its success may at no distant
date revolutionize the present system of
building passenger vessels. The most
important feature of this vessel, and
that which will interest the general
public, is the mechanical arrangement
to prevent sea-sickness. This is to be
reached in two ways. First, by reduc-
ing the motion of the vessel to a mini
mum, and by reducing what remains by
mechanical means. The former is eff
fected by the peculiar build of the YES
sci, the latter. by the swinging saloon
on the Bessemer pivotal system. This
saloon is 70 feet long, 35 feet wide, and
% feet high, with deck above it. To
prevent seasickness, it is necessary to
keep the floor of the saloon horizontal
the whole time, as is done with the
compass and pinnacle lights of all YES
sells. The swing of the saloon itself
would be inadequate to this end, and
hydraulic power is introduced 10 cor
rect the motion of the vessel by swing
ing the saloon in the opposite direc-
ton. This force is not altogether auto
matically applied. 1t is reduced to the
control of a man who, with spirit
level before him and lever in hand,
directs the machinery. This is but one
eature of this remarkable vessel. Its
engines are of enormous power; it has
double set of side-wheels I; is built OF
two vessels held together by massive
girders its draught of water is very
light and both ends are built alike, to
avoid the necessity of attempting to
turn in French harbors. 1t is hoped
that the Bessemer with all its weight
and breadth of beam will be able to
make the enormous speed of twenty
miles an hour. The trial trip will not
be made for two months yet, for there
is much to be done. The Bessemel
will by that time have to steam from
the North of England to the Thames il
about the toughest time of the year
which will test Mr.. Bessemer's patent
and Mr.. Reeds construction very Sc
verely.

Jet is still used everywhere.
The Josephine waist is to be worn
again.
Double prices are charged ON all
fashionable goods.
Silk is rarely worn on the street in
Paris this fall.
Immense long black chains are worn
around the neck.
- The polonaise will be worn with many
winter costumes.
To dress warmly and cheaply one
must keep behind the fashion.
Buy thick wooden goods, and cut as
little as possible in making up.
Dead white board is generally pre-
ferred for cards, though delicate tinting
is allowable.
In New York, for the street, the skirt
is of silk, rich and heavy, with rough
csmel's hair fabric, pardessns.
For ladies and gentlemen dressing in
mourning, the card is edged with q
band of black, broader or narrower in
proportion to the depth of owners
weeds.
For ladies the fashionable card is OF
the finest unglazed Bristol board, rath-
er louder than formerly, and tending
to the oblong rather than the square in
shape.
Invitations to weddings are now
usu-lly issued upon sheet of the
finest, thickest, most highly finished
note-paper about four inches wide and
eight deep, so that when folded exactly
across the middle it fits into square
envelope to correspond.

Steam on Canals.

The premium of 100000 offered by
the State of New York for the invention
of some method by which canals may be
successfully and economically navigated
by stnam power, was good invest
mept. What is known as the Baxter
boat has now complied with all the
conditions required for securing the
award, and it is evident that steam is to
take the place of horsepower on all
important canals. A steamer recently
reached Buffalo from New York in six
days and seventeen hours. Thirteen of
these steamers are now launched, and
ten others will be constructed at once,
making twenty three to ply on the Erie
canal. With their towing capacity this
will equal a great many horse boats,
and must speedily result in the growth
of grass upon the tow-path. The time
is near when not horse boat will be
used on the Erie canal. This is not
only an important result in consequence
of the time saved, but its greatest ben
eft arises from the fact that it will ma
terially reduce freight rates. With the
tolls on the Erie canal placed at reason
able and just figures, every farmer In
the West would derive some perceptihle
benefit from this new method of canal
transportation. With the encouraging
results attending the use of steam on
the Erie canal, there is little reason to
doubt the enlargement of the Wabash
and Erie canal, and its extension to st.
Louis. It is not possible to conceive
the vast importance OF such a line OF
transportation to hepeople of the West,
insuring, as it would, the rapid and
cheap transportation of their surplus
nroducts TO the sCaboard
