Longevity and Life Insurance.

A New York paper says: An eminent physician in England has recently pub lishcd q work on longevity, in which, 1 after showing what has often been shown before, that the average life of man has been somewhat extended during the present century, he gives many reasons for thinking that this is but the begin ming of a decided prolongation in human existence, and that in no remote future it may be as common to hear of men living to period between eighty and ninety years of age, as in the past it has been to have them reach the limit of three score years and ten. To those who are not too far advanced in life, informa- tion of this kind cannot be other than pleasing, but there is one financial class to which such a charge must be of the highest importance. This is life insur- ance companies. There are many things beside old age of which men die, but as a rule the men from whom insur- ance companies draw their support are likely to exhibit to the full the results of more healthy modes of life. As the actuaries' tables now in use, which give the worth of an average human life, are based upon efforts made nearly genera tion ago, under conditions which differ from those now in force, and still more from those which are to prevail, the companies have the chance of adding
 argely to their surpluses, iftheir invest ments have been prudently made, or, on the other hand, of making good losses due to injudieious investment. which, under ordinary circumstances, would in time have driven them into bankruptcy This would be the immediate result, but ultimately this reduction in hazard will show itself in a lessening of the existing rates of premium on what are known as simple life policies

- Life in IeadvilIe.

Leadville has again begun to increase i'll population (writes a correspondent sojourning in the great Colorado mining town), though the steady flow of men to the hills in search of "pros- pects'' and to the mines for work keeps down the tllrong in Chestnut street. It is possible now to walk from Harrison avenue to Pine street without being elbowed of the sidewalk There are enough bystanders left, however, to afford some very striking physiognomi- cal studies. As rule, steady, sober men get employment within a week of their arrival here, and disappear from the street. Those who remain are chiefly gamblers, faro-bank keepers, bunko men, confidence operators and thieves. No rogues' gallery in the world can exhibit such collection of villain ous faces as may be seen any day in Chestnut street. And these gentry are not idle. Scarcely aday or night passes that some one is not openly robbed in the street. It is utterly unsafe to travel the side streets or the roads to the mines after dark. There are thirteen policemen here. but the robbers are
 eldom traced, much less arrested. Public opinion charges the authorities with being in sympathy with them. So strong has this feeling grown of late that there is quite a general talk of a vigilance committee after the California fashion, with . gallows in the widest part of Harrison avenue. The difficulty would be to find men who could be trusted to administer the duties of such a body. A member of one of the best families here in dispute with q man about a lot deliberately, in broad daylight, in pres ence of many persons, shot him dead The grand jury found an indictment for manslaughter, the judge admitted the prisoner to bail in the sum of $3 900 and granted q change of venue, which will probably be the end of the case. San Francisco could find in her hour of dan ger body of men withcourage and judg- ment, in whom everybody had confi- dence, and in whose hands revolutionary and dictatorial powers were safe. It is extremely doubtful whether any such body could be found here.

material the world is "a gainer to the amount of SIO0, ,OO0, ,0O0 a year by using the Bessemer process in converting ore into steel. Or considered in another way, the advantage of low priced en- during material, such as Bessemer steel, when compared with iron, has been made matter of calculation as far as railroad tracks are concerned with the following astonishing results: Mir. Price Williams, who is an expert on matters of this kind, has stated that by substituting steel for iron saving in expenditure will be made during the life of one set of steel rails on all the exist ing lines in Great Britain of not less than SS50,00o,000. In view of these facts, if Sir Henry has obtained in roy alties the sum of s5,25O. GOO, most per sons will concede he has got no more than he deserves.
 It is said that the late G. W. NJ. Reynolds had made more money by sixty orhis seventy cheaply sensational novels than many of the most distin- guished authors in Great Britain His earnings from his stories have been es- timated as high as S30O,00O which may be an exaggeration, although that would not be much more than Sl,0OO q novel, and some of his novels are reported to have brought him in SS, 900, S9,00O, Sf0,- 900, and even S12,0O0 apiece. Tyndall, Darwin, Huxley or Carpenter has, we venture to assert, never made one-third as much by his lifelong devotion to science. Matthew Arnold, considered one of the most cultured and intellect ual authors in Great Britain, could count, it is said, S50,000 as the direct product of his pen. Carlyle, ranked by many as the first thinker of his time, and by all as master mind, has, after a career of continual activity and the publication of forty or fifty volumes, acquired, in his eighty-fourth year, an income of little more than 5000. Robert Browning, held by a number of critics to be the first of living poets. would not have been able to support hin self lpld ho not lad private for tune. Itis questionable if even George Eliot has, notwithstanding her much talked-of literary rewards, gained as much by her famous novels as Reynolds is credited with. Hardly any of his lit erary contemporaries except Tennyson and Dickens can be mentioned, who have dabbled in ink 10 so much pecuniary purpose as he, The most liberal com pensations for literature are often given tO those whose DrOducfiOnS scarcely de- serve the name of literature at all

There are many instances in various parts of the world where the whole or a portion of stream suddenly disap- pears from sight, and, in some cases, the place ofits reappearance is unknown, or, at best, a matter of conjecture. It is a common experiment., where the waters of a river make plunge and reappear at 8 short distance, to throw chaff into the upper waters, and note it's appear anos upon the surface of the lower. But the Ea2ga7aeeraaag aaad liiaiaag Journal de- scribes a different practice. It having been supposed that a portion of the water of the upper end of the Danube went to feed the river Aach, an affluent of Lake Constance, and some ten miles distant from the Danube M Knop inn proved and greatly beautified this ex- pertinent by emptying into the Danube some fifteen gallons of fluorescence-a very powerful green coloring matter-of which one 10000, ,000th part will give .pereeptible color to water. In about sixty hours the waters of the Aach began to show a marked green tint, which con tinued for a day, and although the cur rent of the Aaeh passes some l,500 gal Ions per second, was so pronounced as to alarm the inhabitants.

Probably the annoyance to which peo- pie are subjected in shops when sales men insist that different colors or diff ferent shades match, in spite of all that the buyer can say to the contrary, is often due to color blindness. There are well-attested stories of Quakers who have bought scarlet cloth for drab, and of painters who have given green faces to their portraits, or pea-green dress. thinking the flesh tints and crimson were all right. In every case, among paint CTS, the man saw clearly different shades of color. It was only in the red he blundered. He could not see that; but if the red and green were marked for him, his work was correct. So in en- broidery; there are men for whom the colors must be marked, and buyer of silks and ribbons for great dry goods house, who had the most delicate per ,ception of all other coiors and tints, saw pale blue and rose alike.

Sir Henry Bessemer has had an ex- perience that few inventors are allowed to have, in living to see the worldwide results of his invention, and to realize the economy in resources which has been made possible by it's use. The sewing machine and electric telegraph have been labor-saving in their effect to an enormous extent, but with these it would have been difficult for their orig inators when alive to estimate the mon- etary value to mankind of the discover ies. With the making of steel the case,
 however, is different, for the saving can be figured down to a nicety on every ton made, and the annual product of the various civilized countries is pretty ac- curately known. From data thus col lected it is estimated that in labor and
