majority OF the European and South
American exhibitors will forward their
goods to this country to be exhibited at
the Centennial at philadelphia next
year. A reporter OF the Herald called
yesterday upon DR.. Stephen A. Rogers.
Consular Agent OF Chill, and President or
the New York Commission for the NIX"
position, and was told that the number
of Americans who have sent samples OF
heir manufactured articles to the Ex-
position was far beyond the expectation
of even the most ostsanguine'beheve or in the
stability of the Republic Of Chilli. The
shipments from New York by steamer
via Panama TO date number, 100 from diff
ferent producers. This does not include
a large number of shipments by way Of
Cane Horn, both from New York and
Boston. From Boston there have also
been sent via Panama large number OF
the lines OF products OF the New England
manuiactoriess which aggregate apons
600 tons.
The exact number Of exhibitors from
the United States may be estimated at
over one thousand. From San Fran
cisco, representing the Pacific slope,
over one hundred applications for space
we're received, and. over seventy-hve
persons had forwarded their articles
previous to August 10.
In addition to the number OF exhibits
ors and their agents who will be press
| ent ut the Exposition there are consld-
cradle number OF persons who are going
out with their families in order TO avail
themselves OF the special reduced rates
while enjoying'th sea voyage and visits
ling the different South American coun-
tries along tife South American coast.
The ChiIian Exposition is likely to
be of much more permanent Importance
to the United States than any European
Exposition where AinericaRs have fig
ured conspicuously, as it Will tend TO
promote American trade throughout
South America in competition with the
various countries Of Europe.-New
York Herald.

THE heavy rains and the consequent
overflow, added to the filthy condition of
The streets and the effects of the heavy
growth OF vegetation, call loudly for
special efforts on the part of the author
lties in caring for the health of the peo-
pie of the city. For two months there has
been scarcely day in which we have
not had more or less rain, and the conse-
auence is that not only is the ground
thoroughly wet, but all the filth which
naturally gathers in large city is
soaked and decaying, and giving on its
poisonous exhalations wherever it is to
be found. The weather has been such
that the street-cleaning force was much
of the time rendered useless, and the
consequence is that, aside from the
thorough washing the city received
in the heavy rains, the filth has
accumulated to an alarming extent.
In too many places the cutters are
loaded with mud and wash Of the streets

French Inundations.

The Swiss, with characteristic gener-

They are moved to THESE charitable ell

and alleys, and all sorts Of decaying
matter. The effects Of a few days OF
sun upon these will be to generate un-
wholesome and poisonous exhalations,
which will endanger the lives of the
citizens il the cause is not remove
The alleys and back streets are In many
cases filed with decaying matter of all
descriptions, and generate disease very
rapidly. The river, which Is seldom IL
ever as high at this dangerous time In
the year, will, when 1t recedes, leave
quantities of mud and filth which will,
under the rays of an August sun, breed
pestilence in its most dangerous form.
The decaying matter which will be de-
posted by it as it recedes will not be in
considerable, and the filth and mud, the
washings OF the whole country above,
will be a hotbed for the rapid generation
OF disease. The only means of avoiding
the danger to which the lives Of our citi-
zens are exposed, is removal, SO far as
possible, OF the cause. The treet-clean-
ing department is, like all other depart
ments of the City Government, some-
what embarrassed for want of funds. but
in this emergency no pains OF expense
should be spared. A thorough system OF
cleaning and disinfecting should be at
once inaugurated, and every street and
alley and gutter in the city and the whole
river bank should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfectants plentifully used.
Should this be done and the system rig
idly carried out no danger need be ap-
pretended from epidemics. Without it,
however, the experience of past years
and general knowledge Of the effects OF
the present condition of affairs, is suffi-
cient to awaken fears of serious results.
Much, however, may be done by
the residents of the city for their own
safety by the use OF disinfectants
and deodorizing agents in and

the alleys and cutters adjoining and a
thorough cleaning of premises and ad

Gold and Silver.

The price of gold seems to be settling
to the average OF about ll3, but as the eX-
port movement of other products is al
ready as large as can reasonably be ex-
pected, it would seem that the influ-
ence OF the export of other products in
depressing the price OF gold was about
spent, and that the tendency henceforth
would, at least, not be downward. But
113 for gold is too high to afford any
chance OF even q temporary success OF
the silver resumption scheme, and it is
Tor this reason perhaps that we hear
nothing more OF 1t just at present,
The decline OF The value of silver in
London was stated last month to have
been 90 pence in the pound from the old
usual prices OF silver. This would be a
decline of about 23 per cent. In Its value,
and yet we see that the prices of silver
coin. in New York have declined only
about or per cent. In the last year;
thus Mexican dollars, which year ago
were salable at from ST. to $1.01 in gold,
are now quoted at "a to 95 cents in gold.
1t is true these quotations do not show
the true bullion OF Mexican dollars in
either case, but it will be seen that as
long as Mexican dollars are salable at
94 cents in gold, and American trade
dollars at about 80, there would be no
pr0SpecC Oh Luelr circulating ia tuis
country unless gold were down to 105.
American half dollars are really worth
only about 81 per cent. of the American
trade silver dollar, and consequently
should be at par With greenbacks when
gold was at Ill, but the market quota

OF having them in.circulation at par with

THE Philadelphia Record, very relia-
Bile authority on any subject, has had the
Keely motor matter fully examined, and
has come to the conclusion that the So
called Keely motor is an utter delusion;
that it is no new motor at all; that 1t is
the application of the familiar forces OF
mir and water to mechanism in accord
ance with familiar laws; that Mr..
Keely's contrivance is an uneconom-
ical device for doing what is habit
ually done by many machines in
n better way. Reporters who were
sent to the lawyers office that is the
headquarters OF the Keely company were
not permitted to see the machine itself,
hut were shown the subscription book, in
which large sums were pledged for the
development of the invention. Mr..
Reely, it appears, commenced his exper-
iments in this line as early as the year
1871, and while the records OF the Patent
Office show no less than thirty-four docu-
ments transferring interests in various
inventions styled "Globe motor" oily
dro-pneumatic pulsating vacuo engine"
..Dissipating multiplication and gener-
ator," "Automatic water lift" and other
high.sounding names, there has not been
a patent issued for single one OF them.
Mr.. Keely, in a recent letter describing
his invention, says: 81 have produced in
an inappreciable period of time, by
simple manipulation OF the machine,
yaporic substance at one expul-
sion, of volume of ten gallons,
having an elastic energy Of ten
thousand pounds to the square inch.
This solemiy assert, and am ready to
f. verify by my OATH" In reply to this the
Record says: "To our best judgment
there Is no svaporic substance properly
so-called, in the Keely motor. We be-
1ieye that the force generated in it is
simply that Of compressed air-and fur
ther, that this air is compressed by the
hydrant pressure, which, as is well
known, when eXerted continuously with
proper machinery to utilize it, is very
powerful. AS tor any 'vaporic sub
stance,' other than compressed air, we
zee no evidence of its existence. We
have yet to hear of any public expert
nent tried with the motor in which this
hydrant pressure was not relied upon
The actuating force of the Keely motor,
In word, seems to be in the city water
works. This is OF course source oi
great power; but it is hardly entitled to
be styled new motor;' while as for
the idle talk of running train Of cars
from Philadelphia to New York on
handful Of water that is all a sort o
tyaporic' talk about as useful, apparent
IL, as the svaporic substance in th'
Keely motor"
