Inventions, following rapidly on each
other are daily rendering war more sim
pile by placing more promptly destructive
instruments in the hands of the combat
ants. Great progress has recently been
made in the methods of constructing out
works and laying intrenchments. But
every improvement in the direction of
building up is Immediately met by some
equally etficacious plan of knocking
down, and, in harmony with this princi-
pie, the announcement is now made of a
discovery which will materially arrest
the advance of offensive operations.
This is the Lamarre freball, which
practically abolishes the existence of
night as a cover for military works Tt is
n projectile which can be shot to the dis
tance of any ordinary cannon bali. On
arriving at its destination, in the midst
of the enemy's camp, it begins
to burn with steady, brill
liant light, Illuminating the coun-
try around. While throwing it's
rays on the camp of the enemy It can
not be extinguished, because at regular
intervals it throws out shells which
would destroy any body of men who were
rash enough to place themselves within
its reach While the ball is burning the
guns may be directed on the newly con-
structed works, and the result of several
hours labor destroyed before means Of
protection can be adopted.

Heatins..Stre Cars.
[St. Louis Republican,

The heating of street railroad cars in
winter is a thing SO greatly to'be desired
that people in large cities will sbe inter-
estcd in the announcement that plans
for effecting the object are nearly COM
pleted in New York. In Brooklyn the
street cars are now heated with small
stoves, which, it is said, make them COM
Portable in winter without causing any
inconvenience to passengers, and it is
stated thata similar arrangement exists in
Boston and Philadelphia; but stove-heat-
ing is not deemed satisfactory in New
York, and experiments have been made
to discover something better. A hot
water apparatus has been determined on
for one of the roads. 1t consists of pipe
under the seat on each side terminating
in a heating-chamber at one end
and an expansion chamber at the other,
both these attachments being under the
seats. The pipes, heating chamber and
part of the expansion chamber are filled
with water, saturated with salt to keepi
from freezing. This water will last a
whole winter. The heat is applied at
each trip-iron slugs, heated to an in
tense degree at furnaces in the terminal
stations. These are placed in a fire-box
at the end of the car, and the heat from
them communicated to the water will, it
is claimed, keep the cars warm and COM
Portable during a trip. The expense of
fitting up the cars with the necessary ap-
paratus will be considerable, but after
The apparatus is once fixed the cost of
applying the heat will be trifling, about
4 cents day for each car. The cars on
some of the elevated roads which run in
trains are to be heated by steam sent
from the engine through pipes to each
car.

[Intcr-Ocean Marquette Letter

From the recent rise and demand for
iron, it might reasonably be inferred that
business in this mining country would be
rushing wildly. Such is not the fact.
All the iron ore that is produced by the
large mining companies is always sold on
contract in the month of January for de-
livery the coming season of water trans
portation. The contract terms for ore
include delivery to the furnaces below"
and were based on freights atabout$l so
per ton. Since the lively demand for
iron commenced, the freighting Of it has
been advancing until it is now fully
$50 so the ton. Consequently the iron
companies are not so we'll off in this year s
business as they were last year.
Many of the furnace companies con-
tract, as do the mining companies. in the
winter for the next seasons delivery, and
are not. Gin" on the rise in pig, while
those who have not sold ahead. or have
been carrying their stocks, are in condi-
ton to reap the benefits Of the current
advanced prices, but these favored cases
are few. None of the furnaces thathave
been out of blast on account of the de-
preston have yet been started up.
| The demand for pig iron came too late
in the season. TO place them in working
order requires time and much money,
and the increased demand came too late
in the season to reap the necessary advan-
tage of low rates of freights by return
trips from "below" of carrying vessels.
There are also furnaces that have been
totally dismantled and abandoned for
good. Furnaces out of blast several
years, and even those that had been built
before the panic and not put in blast at
all, would now require extensive; repairs.
Therefore it will be "a considerable length
of time before the production of pig iron
will be perceptibly increased, provided
the great demand for it should continue.
The wages of workers in the larger
iron mines nave not advanced, nor will
they be-. for wages Of miners have moi
been cut down of late years at all corre'
spending with the cut in the Other EN-
plOyments. .....-
The larger mines will notincrease then
force for the winter, but will work up tc
their full capacity, which, indeed, they
have been doing for the past few years
The only increase in mining operations
is in the development of new properties,
and the working of small mines that had
been abandoned when the panic struck.
This has made a call for labor, which
is now scarce, inasmuch as the SUI plus
workingmen had sought. other fields foI

When an American girl or woman
reaches the hopeless stage and resorts to
the humiliating expedient of advertising
for husband, she commonly after brief
but modest allusion to her charms and
advantages, states that she "would like
to make the acquaintance of an honor
able gentleman; for mutual improve
ment;" or perhaps she goes so far as to
add "with view to matrimony." French
women on the contrary, throw circumlo-
cution to the dogs and come to the point
at once, as witness this annonce from the
Paris Globe: "Wants to Marry-A Young
lady, 81 years old, pretty, with 100000
francs, and expectations. Address Roy"
&c. Girls in this country WHO have
100000 and expectations of more, and
are pretty into the bargain, don't have to
advertise for husbands.

250,00O francs" and so on through the
list. Yet the French people are noted
for their exquisite taste.

MIR. AND nrns. CITIZEN SING.
How a Cincinnati Woman Became
EnamOred of Chinaman.

San Francisco Call.
Mrs. Joe Sing, lady of German ex-
traction, who, with her Celestial husband,
has opened restaurant on the European
plan in central quarter of Chinatown,
is doing a thriving business, although
only started about two weeks. The lady
is demi-brunette, about medium height,
slender in figure and attractive features.
She is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, where
her father keeps restaurant and saloon,
to which Sing made occasional business
calls, being at the time tea merchant,
and supplying Mr.. Braun, her father,
with that commodity. Dropping into the
restaurant, he saw Miss Braun. Having
once seen her, his visits became more
frequent, until it grew customary for
him to call three or four times day,
when he began to be regarded as one of
the best customers of the establishment.
Sitting down to cup of coffee served
by the fair Sarah, he would MUNICH roll
while he feasted his eyes upon her 1.-THE
figure and pretty face. Emboldened by
this encouragement, he began to whisper
words of love, which fell into willing
ears. 1t was during these visits that the
tender heart of the youthful Sarah was
spirited away--a theft ultimately made
good by the offer of Sings heart and
hand, which being accepted af er lengthy
and what she afirms to have been de-
lightful courtship, the twain were made
one in the presence of a house full of
friends. Abandoning the tea trade, the
pair embarked in laundry and bath
house, which in turn was thrown aside
to come to San Francisco, where it was
thought more money could be made in
the restaurant line, she possessing the
experience derived from attendance at
her fathers, and Sing having been cook
and steward when sailor-a calling he
followed for many years.
Mrs. Sing processes to like Celestials
very we'll, excluding the lowest grades.
Her husband is kind to her. She says
that at home he is called "Citizen Sing"
he having procured his naturalization
papers in Cincinnati. He was only nine
years old when he first came to America,
which was twenty-six years ago, but
owing to his migratory habits he was
never long enough in one State to get his
papers until he settled in Cincinnati,
where, in addition to his other business,
he was employed as court interpreter.
He cut off his queue, is temperate in his
habits, and refuses to keep liquors in the
restaurant, which is remarkably clean,
and is the center of attraction in the
neighborhood, always having a multitude
of curious Mongolians about the entrance
peering curieusly into the interior.

The question has been asked why
man smoking pipe should not be aware
when the candle is put out whether the
tobacco is still burning. There is first,
the point of fact. 1t may be questioned
if any one really finds himself in the diff
ficulty supposed. We believe, under GER
tain conditions, the doubt may exist.
Smokers are not always large consumers
of the weed. They often form habit of
taking very. little smoke into the mouth
and Of breathing chiefly through the
nose. The consequence is that the
pleasure Of smoking may consist in
having something to do, and the sensa-
ton Of doing that something is quite as
likely to be matter of seeing as Of tasting.
In cases of this class the smoker, being
deprived of his accustomed evidence or
means of enjoyment, may be distressed.
Of course it is not alleged that man
can not ascertain whether the contents
of his pipe are lighted when he happens
to be in the dark. That would be sheer
folly. Meanwhile, the experiment, if such
it can be called, is well calculated to
draw attention to the economic question
how far the pleasure of smoking is gener-
ally imaginary. If it be, suitable sub
stitute for the expensive cigar and waste
full pipe might be found in some perma-
nent material, of proper cor sistency,
nodded into the approved shape. 1t has
long been mystery to some smokers how
other smokers could Systematically smoke
bad cigars; the mystery may be dispelled
if it should turn out that the fumes of
the tobacco consumed are not even in
hailed.

In front of restaurant on South @
street there is pile of about two cords
of wood, mostly gnarled oak and cedar
roots 1t has been lying there several
days, and during that time withered
Chinaman has been worrying away at
the wood with axe and saw. The grain
of the wood twists and doubles in itself
more than the track of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad. For the first two
days the poor Chinaman mauled the
splinters off the wood with remarkable
perseverance and patience, but yesterday
be broke down and, dropping the axe,
overhowed with Mongolian profanity for

beaten, however, and to-day he began

crosswise, and is making some progress

We all entered the carriage together
and drove to Holmes Cottage.
We met on the threshold by the same
forlorn looking woman who had brought
the note. She burst out sobbing in our
faces.
"My son is dead" she cried. "He
breathed his last soon after you went
away last night. Oh, ma'am, won't you

We entered the poor, little room and
