for four, is too evident and annoying
to be long continued. Hundreds were
turned back from the gates, which
they had gained by patient waiting in
line, and obliged to fall in at the end
of longer one at the office for chang
ing money, or submit to the extortion
of the spectators in ffty-cents notes.
This class made a small fortune by
means of this regulation. Everybody
sees the reason why the gatekeepers
cannot make change; but nobody un-
derstands why dollar bill cannot be
put in the box in payment for two
admissions, as we'll as two half-dollars.
All that is requisite is that the gate
keeper should have as much money in
his box as the register on his turnstlle
calls for. On Wednesday "a stalwart
countryman offered 81 bill for him
self and wife, and was told, like thous-
ands Of other visitors, that he must
bring two 50-ce notes. He expostu
lated a little while with no effect but
TO irritate the gatekeeper. Then he
roared in voice of thunder "Take
the money and let US in or I'll knock
you down." The affrightened Official
broke the rule and allowed the coulpe
to pass in.
From the experience SO far it is
pretty clear that the facilities for ac-
commodating visitors with bed and
board will be ample, and some Of the
greedy landlady's who have counted
upon slowing away in tiers four or five
deep, ae a charge of $1,000 per minute
will learn a lesson. 1t is not likely
that there will be so many here at any
one time during the season. except on
the 4th of July, yet the capacity Of
the hotels and boarding-houses was
net fully taxed. Here are samples Of
the statistics reported officially The
Continental Hotel, in the heart of the
city, has capacity of about 1900.
On Tuesday nigh they registered over
900, and Wednesday there were only
100 departures. The Girard House,
also nearly touched its zero mark, tax
ing in $50 guests, its capacity being
1000. The Globe Hotel, standing as
it does at the gates Of the Exposition
dined 2,700 people on Wednesday and
logged 400; 500 went away the fol-
lowing day.
And now that the preliminaries are
disposed of [ can in future letters give
detailed descriptions Of what there is
on exhibition. The display exceeds
most peoples's anticipations. A hur-
ried tour through the Art Hall-of
itselfa JOY forever, Horticultural Hall,
Agricultural and Machiney Halls, the
different departments of the main
building and the various foreign and
and state pavilions is only just enough
to sharpen ons curiosity and give an
idea of the immensity of the Exposi-
ton. The festive pickpocket is abo ut
and thieves have already commenced
their word, several articles for exhibi-
tion having been missed within the
past few days.

house officers are brutes. The
Swiss think business is impossible
in a country with custom-houses

laments that the average American
don't know the difference between
an Austrian and an Australian, and
takes him for the latter. Life in
America is twice as costly and not
quite half so goo& as in Vienna.
The Danish gentleman thinks that
if he was back in Denmark he
should like America first rate; while
he's here he considers it very costly.
The Belgians think our stomachs
must be out of order or we could
not want to eat what we do. The
Dutch do not like our women, but
think our men are first rate-very
like Dutchmen. The Mexicans
want to improve our street car Sys-

ably in the matter of local travel.

Punishment of DFunkarns in Old
Mexico.

The ideas of temperance preya.
lent among the ancient Antecs may
well astonish us, though the Sc
verify Of their laws in regard to it
appear excessive. Mr.. II. H. Ban
croft says: The young man who
became drunk was conveyed to Jail
and there beaten to death with
clubs; the young woman was stoned
to death. In some parts if the
drunkard was q plebeian, he was
sold for a slave for the first offense
and suffered death for the second 4;
and at other times the offenders
hair was cut off in the public
market-place; he was then lashed
through the streets, and finally his
home was RACED to the ground, be-
cause, they said, one who would
give up his reason to the use of
strong drink was unworthy to pos.
sess u house and be numbered
amongrespectable citizens. Cutting
off the hair, as we shall see, was a
mode Of punishment resorted to
by these people, and so deep was
the degradation supposed to be at
tached to it hat it was dreaded
almost equally with death itself.
Should a military man, who had
gained a distinction in the wars,
become drunk, he was deprived of
his rank and honors, and consid-
cred thenceforth as infamous. Con-
viction of this crime rendered the
culprit ineligible for all future
e%moluments, and especially was he
debarred from holding any public
office. A noble was invariably
hanged for the first oifense, his
body being afterward dragged with
out the limits of the town and cast
into a stream used for that purpose
only. But a mightier influence
than mere fear Of the penal law re-
strained the Aztec nobility and gen
try from drinking to excess; this
influence was social law. 1t was
considered degrading for a person of
quality to touch wine at ali, even
in seasons of festivity when, as |
have said, it was customary and
lawful for the lower classes to in
dulge to a certain extent. Wine
bibbing was looked upon as a coarse.

The correspondents have been
interviewing the various foreigners
at the Centennial to get their opin-
ions Of us Americans. The Turk
ish gentleman says he thinks we
are dreadfully inquisitiye, and that
he has occasionally had to say he
himself was not on exhibition. The
Frenchman thinks we eat very bad
food, and need a school of eating.
More good wine and less bad whis-
ky would help us in his opinion.
Our clothing is cheap enough, but
our drink is dear. The Spaniards

Popular Science MONTHLY

Popular Science Monthly
Whenever, on account of some
topographic circumstances, the sun
heats any locality on the surface of
the earth more than the surround
ing region, a gentle current or col
umn Of heated air rises, and its in
visible moisture is condensed into
small masses Of clouds called
cumuli, which spread and produce
the notified appearance commonly
known as "mackerel sky" But
when, as is frequently the case in
summer, a valley, or plain, or island,
OF any other place, is much more
highly heated by the sun than the
surrounding region, the heated air
over such locality rises more rapidly
and with more ascensional momen-
tum, and as it reaches the higher
and cooler regions of the atmos-
phere its moisture is condensed into
large rounded volumes of noun.
tain.like masses of cumulus
clouds. Such cumulus clouds
always precede and characterize
a local summer storm or shower.
When the warm horizontal cur
rent from the south, as in winter,
meets with the cold current from
the north, it slopes upward over
the cooler current, and forms stripes
or bands of stratus clouds along
the horizon. These stratus clouds
indicate to the observer the fact
that a warm current is coming
northward. When in summer a
cool current is moving southwark
it encounters the warm equatorial
or tropical current, which again
glides upward and over it, and
forms horizontal bands of stratus
clouds along the upper line of con-
tact, rs in winter storms but in
addition, the denser cold air from
the north, moving with more mo-
mentum, will lift up the warm and
saturated air from the tropics, and
its moisture will be condensed into
masses of clouds banked up against
the top of the cold current, and
arranged over the horizontal stratus
clouds. Thus is produced the com
bination of cumulo stratus cloud,
which is characteristic of progress
sive summer storms.
To the tornado cloud produced
by a whirl of air, and resembling
an inverted cone, Professor Blaisius
gives the name of conus, which is
both distinctive and appropriate.
These four typical classes of clouds
viz: cumulus, atratus, cumulo-
stratus and conus-indicate and
characterize the four different
classes of storms.

of practicing the habit would have
forfeited his social position, even
though the law suffered him to

listing between precept and practice
