MORE persons are now employed in
the mills of Paterson, New Jersey, than
ever before. The greatest expansion is
in the silk industry. To-day there are
in Paterson not less than five hundred
looms owned by practical weavers, and
operated under their immediate super
vision in rooms, garrets and sheds, and
every place where a'loom can be worked.
Whole families thus find employment in
their own homes; the men do the most
difficult part, and the women and chill
dren assist. The price of labor in the
town has advanced, and common labor
ers are scarce at $1.25 day.

to do, when one morning. a strange runner
reached his ears. The house OF Jsndid-
cir had just stopped payment. A detec.

the most startling news.
Monsieur Jsndidier, who had been
considered so wealthy, was ruined, ut,
terly ruined, and for three years he had
sustained his credit only by means of
various expedients. He had not q thou
sand francs, and notes falling due at the
end OF the month amounted to sixty
seven thousand FIVE hundred francs.
The cautious merchant speculsted in

these particulars when Msitre MaglOire

Cyclones.
J. J. Murphy in Nature.

Mr.. Barham, in Nature, concludes
that Ga cyclone is occasioned by the
meeting and passing each other of
northerly snd soutnerly current, so thst
they pass each other on the left hand
respectively" Surprising this to be
true, for the northern hemisphere sub
stitute right hand for LETT.
There is nothing in this contrary to
dynamite principles, but the facts of the
geographical disposition of cyclones sp>
pear TO show that the eddies or swirls in
which they originate are formed, not by
north and south currents passing each
other, but by the same meeting each
other; that is to say, in the zone where
| the north and south trade winds meet,
when this zone is at some distance from
the equator. Cyclones are not formed
in or near the equator, because there the
earth has no rotation relatively to 81
axis drawn vertically to its surface.
Mr.. BianfOrd has written IN Nature,
showing that Mr.. Bsrham has not &C
counted for the motive power of the
cyclone, and explaining it by the liberia
| ton of latent heat from the conden-
sation of vspor in an ascending current
at the center of the cyclone. This expla-
nation was first given by Espy in his
Philosophy of Storms" and ia certsiEly
true. But the two questions are c ute
distinct, viz: What sets the cyclone
going d? and, How is it supplied with NOS
tive power7 TTHIEUEF
Three conditions are needful for the
formation of a cyclone-first, an eddy
produced where currents of air meet /;
second, sufficient "steam power OF the
atmosphere, as Espy calls it, to produce
strong inadraft to the center OF the
eddy; third, a position sufficiently far
from the equator tor the currents OF air
toward the center to be sensibly detected
by the earth's rotation.
But how is the in-draft first set up7 I

center, whence follow cold, the condens
sstion of vspor, and the liberation Of
heat which has been latent. The liber
ated heat expands the air in the upper
strata, thus supplying the motive power
of the cyclone.

Mr.. WILLIAM z. SMITH the curator
Of the Botanic Garden at Washington,
is a stalwart champion of the English
sparrows. He says that they have not
troubled the other birds in the garden,
with whom they are in the most friendly
relations. Before the introduction of
the spsrrows it was impossible to make
an elm tree flourish in that city. Now
the streets planted with elms are the

foresters, who regard the elem as the
most thrifty of the eighty Thousand

STANLEY AFRICANUs is sgain at the
head Of an exploring expedition and on
his way through the Dark Continent. +"
He has enlisted many of his old followers
at Zanzibar, paid them advanced wages,
and promised them a visit to Europe
when their journey is over. The expe-
dition is provided with steam launch,
a large cutter, and many pierced iron
plates. These last are doubtless to serve
as projections to boat crews when navi-
eating the lakes or rivers. 1t is sup
posed that the destination of the party is
the Congo, but it is probable that the
great tributaries of that river will be
more objects of search than its main
channel, which has already been traced
out. The enterprise is at the expense

A Prince in the Kitchen.

They are telling a good story in court
circles of Prince Peter of Oldenburg,
chief of the Russian college for girls. At
the Smoling convent, which is under his
Jurisdiction, eight hundred girls are edu-
Gated, and he had received anonymously
and otherwise several complaints about
the food, which was pronounced execra-
bic. "I will see 70 this myself" said
the prince, and one day, 6 few minutes
before the dinner hour, he presented
himself at the end of the passage leading
from the kitchen to the dining salon.
Here he met two soldiers carrying cal
dron stesming hot. ''Hsltp The men
obeyed. Put down that kettle" The
kettle was at once deposited on the floor.
I" Fetch spoon" Here Russian discip~
line wavered. One OF the men had the
audacity to begin a protest. i" S'death P'
exclaimed the prince; hold your
tongue-fetch me a spoon" " But" "
stammered the soldier. "Another word
and / place you under arrest" The
spoon was brought. The prince dipped
it into the caldron and swallowed guam
tity of the liquid. 81 thought So" be
said. "Do you call this soup? Why,
it is dirty water" "It is, your high,
ness" answered the soldier who had
been threatened with arrest, "we have
been cleaning out the laundry"

WITH WHITE HANDS.

Years she weAt about the world,
Lovely eyes and smiling face,
Dressed ami scented, gemmei and curled--
ALWAYS queen BY right OF grace.
All the time there was a grave
Meath the warm Italian sky,
By the Adriatic's wave:
she alone of all, knew why.
He whose dust lay lonely there,
5ar from friends and native land,
Worried to win a name to wear
Till she let him kiss her hand.
Love and longing, pain and pride,
Passion first, and GOODNESS next:
When she went away he died
Being fIail, intense and vexed.
But the snow above her heart
Melted suddenly one day,
And, awakening with a start,
she wrote, Oh, forgive, l pray,
All my ooldness, all my pride;
unwilllngY, am true,
When
lhave
Weeks she waited, then there came,
IaIdily from that far land
brief letter to her name
Not his sigutt nor mis- hand
Just to say that he was dead:
His light went out suddenly.
BrOkenly she bowed her head:
All is said and done for mep'
Then remembering life, as 'twere
Just burden at her feet
Heavily she stopped her there,
Loathing what had been go sweet
And tonight there is a feast:
am promised, must go
Might see mis- grave at least
But he world would seOrn me So
Well, it may be that some day
When I'm wrinkled bent and old,
When my hair is thin and gray.
None will think but am cold.
" may do then as please,
Cross the sea and seek the crave
Linger near it al my ease
/, that slew where 4 could sayel"
Oh, she was so fair that night
soft flushed cheeks and sweetest Eyes,
Shoulders 60 divinely white
And voice Of low replies!
Eut the while she bent her head
In the waltZs rapturous wave,
ne was thinking, " he Is dead '
And, What flowers grow on his grave ?"

A WRITER in the Capital tells this
story of the old turfmsn, Col. w. B.
johnson, who "knew horse from the
ground up: One of Col. Johnson's
achievements on the turf was at Cam
den, New Jersey, after his horse, Blue
Dick, had been beaten three times by
Fashion. He was bantered to enter his
horse once more, and having repeatedly
declined, was told at last by some one
something to the effect that Fashion
could, of course, beat the horse, but that
to make the race, and in the interest of
the turf, he should consent to run him
sgain. "The mare can certainly beat
the horse" said the colonel, "and 1
have done enough to enter him three
times; but if you insist on race l will
bet $4,000 that the mare can not beat
