areas subject to the interminglipp of

into which fresh streams discharge. or
regions liable to tidal overflow and re-

Corporal punishment has been for

principals are represented as almost
unanimous in the opinion that it ought
to be restored.

INDUSTRIAL, STATISTICAL

IN Newark, n. j., there are 900
WOrkmen without employment, and
are clamoring to the city officials for
work or bread.
THE mineral resources of Tennessee
have received further development
GitaaH the past few weeks in the dis
coyery of heavy deposits of carbonate
of zinc on POWeIl's River in East Ten
nessee. The supply is said TO be mex
haustible.
IT is said that a recent examination
OF the records Of the War Department
showed that the actual number of men
on duty in the army is 500, of which
1880 are on duty in the Territories
-3,718 in Texas, and 3, 334 in the other
Southern States. Gen. Terry had in
the field / ,123 men, and Crook 1,79O,
of which probably fully 1000 are to-
day fit for active service. -Four thou
sand two hundred and sixteen men
are on duty at West Point and other
points north, and the remainder of the
army is doing garrison duty at forts in
the Northern States.
On the goth of June Queen Victoria
began the fortieth year of her reign.
Only four English sOvereigns have
reigned longer than Victoria. Queen
Elizabeth reigned "A years and 1876
days; Edward Ill, so years and near
~ five months; Henry Ill, Sc years
and 10 days; George Ill, 80 years and
; months. But of course even these
long reigns look short by the side of
the Y years Of Louis XIV. Of France.
Probably no two successive Kings Of
any country reigned over so long a
space Of time between them as Louis
XIV. and Louis XIV, who from 1913
to 1774 made up together 131 years, or
an average of rather more than So
years per reign.

THE fact is stated by the Paris cor
respondent of SjIJina1as Journal that
NJ. Audrey, who has been so success
full in his process of electrO-plating
with copper the cast-irOn monumental
fountains i'll the Place de Ia COncOrde,
makes his new copper paint from the
porous copper deposited by the galvan-
ic battery, mixed with a yarnish. The
solvent of the varnish thus employed
is the light and refined petroleum
what is commonly known as benZine.
The copper used in the operation is
very pure and is easily pulverized !;
then it is mixed with the benzine var
niSh, and applied either to iron, brass,
plaster, or wood. When mixed with
oils, this copper acquires a green, an
tique hue.
