A Chimney in Scotland.

Glasgow, in Scotland, claims to have
the tallest chimney in the world. The
total height from foundation to top of
coping is 468 feet, and from ground line
to summit, 454 feet: outside diameter
at foundation, fifty feet; at ground sur
face, thirty two feet, and at top of cop
ing, nearly eighteen feet. The number
of bricks used in the erection was
1,40O, 900, equal in weight to 1000 tons.
When within five feet of completion, the
chimney was struck by gale from the
northeast, which caused it to sway seven
feet nine inches off the perpendicular,
and it stood several feet less in height
than before it swsyed. To bring back
the colossal shaft to its true vertical po-
sition, "sawing back had to be resorted
to, four men working at time saving,
and two pouring water on the saws.
The work was done from the inside.
Holes were first punched through the
sides to admit the saws, which were
wrought alternately in each direction at
the same joint on the side opposite the
inclination, 30 that the chimney was
brought back in a slightly oscillating
manner. This was done at twelve diff
ferent heights, and the men discovered
when they were gaining by the saws get
ting frightened by the superintendent
weight.

The India Census.

When the last census was taken in
British India, it created not a little
alarm among the natives. The motive
of the government was at first supposed
to be the imposition of fresh taxes, the
raising of troops, or the getting rid OF
the surplus population. The delusion
that an evil wind would cripple all who
were abroad on the night of the census
was encouraged, as it materially aided
the enumerators in their work. The
census of the women, however, excited
the most apprehension, as the natives
could not understand its purpose. That
the women would be taken to supply
wives for the soldiers, that they were all
to be sent to Calcutta for government in
spection, and that the whole census was
a mere subterfuge by means of which to
obtain two virgins from every village in
India to fan Queen Victoria, were the
theories current with the natives.

A Wonderful Feat.

Nine. Senyah has been doing some
terrific leaping in South America. The
Lima papers tell, for instance, of one ef-
fort far more than usually thrilling.
Nine. Senyah was to make a flying leap
in open air from stand fifty feet high.
In the leap she was to catch stationary
rope suspended perpendicularly; swing
ing on this she was to catch another
rope fifty feet away and then swing to
the trapeze. In making her swing to
catch the last rope, she flew past it, but
seeing that she could not catch it she
threw back summersault and caught
the extreme lower end of the rope as she
was going down. She was saved. The
excitement was intense, and many ladies
tainted. The feat mentioned is simply
impossible but the story is pretty
nearly as good for all that.

Dancing on Christmas Eve.

The custom of dancing on Christmas
eve is very old. 1t would be hard to
say that it began in 1912, but that is the
first Christmas dance on record, and the
circumstances attending it were as re-
markable as they are we'll attested. Sew
eral young persons, 80 the story goes,
were singing and dancing in church
yard on Christmas eve, and their doing
so disturbed Father Robert, priest
ho was saying mass in the church. He
asked them to stop, but the more he
begged the more they danced. Since
they would not cease dancing, Fat Ter
Robert, as the next best thing, prayed
that they might dance without ceasing,
and so they did for whole year, feeling
neither heat nor cold nor hunger nor
thirst nor weariness nor decay of ap-
parel; but the ground on which they
danced, not having the same miraculous
support, wore away under them until
they were sunk up to the middle. At the
end of the year the dancing was stopped
by Bishop Hubert's giving the company
absolution.

The Yokohama (Japan) Herald re-
.Iates a remarkable occurrence which
shows that some of the Japanese have
an extraordinary capacity for withstand
ing the effects of fiery potations. An
Osaka man offered prize to any one
who would drink one sho-one quart,
one pint, and one-half gill-of certain
native liquor about as strong as spirits
of wine. A coolie performed the feat,
but died the same day from the effects
of it. They buried him in shallow
grave, and about midnight the next day
the earth absorbed the liquor from his
well soaked body, and he woke up from
his debauch. Pushing off the light soil
that covered him, he rose from his grave
in q white shroud, and startled some
robbers near by who were counting
and dividing their money. They
took the strange apparition for q
ghost, and ran off in dismay. The
coolie picked up the cash, and reported
to his wife the same night, sadder but
richer man than be was before the spree.

The Cost Of an Epidemic.

DIR. BENJAMIN Lee, OF Phlladelphla,
read before the American Public Health
Association very long, full and inter
esting paper on "The Cost of Great
Epidemic to Great City" The object
of the paper was to furnish an estimate
of the cost of smallpox to Philadelphia
in the winter of 1S7l-72, and to suggest
to what degree judicious sanitary legis-
lation would have prevented the malay
and its cost. The author took the view
that an ounce of prevention was worth a
pound of cure, and divided his theme
into "What Was" and "What Might
Have Been" Under the first head were
recited the actual expenditures of the
board of health, the loss by diminished
travel and traffic, the loss by sickness,
the loss by death AMI the loss by disa-
bility. Under the second, liberal esti-
mates for increased expenditures by the
board of health, and determination of
the degree in which the measures thus
carried out would have diminished the
losses. The sum of $50, ,464. 81 was ex-
pended by the board of health III those
years over and above expenses in conse-
auence of the smallpox. The loss by
travel on passenger railways alone was
eight per cent. on incoming railways,
six per cent, and outgoing, four per
cent. Hence loss to hotel keepers and
wholesale and retail merchants. These
items were detailed in figures by DR..
Lee, showing total loss in money value
of SIS, 429,149 Then comes the loss by
sickness; in the details of cost Of care,
wages lost, loss of production, cost to
hospitals, etc.; the loss of productive
labor estimated at 81, LOGS. The loss
by disability was carefully estimated at
SIC, 900 900; the expense incurred in care
of sick at S203, ,879, and the loss by death,
placing money value upon human life
of from $500 to 1000, according to
age, at S5,O13, 900. To this must be
added the expense of premature tuner
ais, reckoned at $74,420. The items
above enumerated make total loss of
SIC, 1863, 1854. Had the board of health
taken the precaution suggested by DR..
Gross and the State medical society,
vaccination would have been enforced;
the staff of vaccinating physicians
doubled; a central bureau of vaccination
founded, with a chief; a vaccine farm
established for propagating kline pock,
thereby removing the danger of vaccinal
syphilis, but disinfecting station would
certainly have been established. DR..
Lee, continuing, estimated the degree to
which smallpox might have been pre-
vented by thorough vaccination, careful
revaccination, and disinfection at ninety
per cent. of all cases, and ninety seven
and one-half per cent. of cases in adults.
Summing up the matter, it is calculated
that had Philadelphia made an addi-
tional expenditure of about $40, 900 for
prevention, with the hearty cooperation
of its citizens, $25, ,47S,978 would have
been saved.
