Our National Bank system.


Tlie system Of national banks In the
United States has attracted attention
abroad, aud CInala has sent Sir Ed
ward Tillcy, its finance minister, over
here 10 study IL. The recent bank fail
tres in Canada, wbere the old system
of bank paper issues still obtains, has
walked up the people to the difference
between the twos In the United States
when q national bank fails, nobody
ever thinks about its notes. 1t makes
10 difference 10 the note holder wheth-
er the bank is dead or alive. H. Canada
Il fey weeks ago banks begins to topple
And the newspapers were at once re-
sorted to by the brokers with their adj
7ertisements Offering 30 to 10 cents on
the dollar for the notes of the failed
banks. The Canadians appreciate the
safety of our national bank system II
our politicians do not. The difference
is plains In Canada when a bank can
show 800, 900 in specie in Its vaults, 1t
IS allowed to issue 100000 ia notes.
In the United States when a bank de-
posts IL the treasury 100000 In the
bonds of the government, 1t Is allowed
to issue SOC, 900 in notes, and the bonds
are held until every note is redeemed.
This plan makes 90 per cent. of Sll
bonds so deposited currency, and as
good as there is in the world. 1t Is
urged that the government should issue
greenbacks in the place Of these bank
notes, and thus save the interest. Now,
this is all stuff. The bonds arc issued,
and whether held by a bank or by an
lpHficidual, the government pays the
interest all the same.
Let us use a little common sense.
Suppose john Smith wants to start u
national band in Cleveland, with a cap
ital of $500, 900, and issues its notes for
that capital under the law, what does
he do? He goes to John Jones, who
own $500, 900 in 4 per cent. bonds,
and buys them fl ON him. and deposits
them IN the treasury. He then receives
from the treasury s46O,OOO in notes of
his bank, aud loans them to his custom
ers. The interest that the government
mid John Jones it now pays to John
Smith. 1t don't make q quarter Of a
cents difference to the treasury. But
it does make a difference 10 the people,
because:
Here is $50, 900 more money in cir
culation than there was before, ana
these botrSs convertible into currency.
And again, when the bonds were held
by John Jones they were not taxable
and did not yield a cent of revenue to
thc treasury. But in the hands of
John Smith AS bank capital, they pay
n fax TO the nation, to the State and to
the municipality. 1t IS unproductiYe
in John Jones' hands to any one but
Jones himself, but as bank capital in
Smiths hands il is doubly beneficial
rs currency and as taxable property
This is the whole story MS to the much
talked of national bank question The
question of interest would be n practi-
cal one if we owed no debt and pro-
posed to create one to enable banks to
20 into operation. But as the bonds
are ont the interest must be paid to
somebody, and it makes no difference
TO the treasury whether it ia pail to
Smith or Joncs-it has to be paid all
the same"

CELLULoID MARvEL.-A capital ex-

which are peculiarly characteristic of
America, is furnished by the new article
celluloid. Although it was invented nine
or ten years ago (by two brothers named
Hyatt, its perfect manufacture has been
regularly IN pr ogress for only about FIVE
infancy; yet immense quantities of the
substance are produced; 1t is converted
into wonderful variety of forms, and
new modes of applying it are discover
ed almost daily.
This composition OF tissue paper,
camphor, and certain chemi ica,s is al
ready used for billiard balls, combs,

other toilet articles, whip canes and UNI

GLASS WIcKs FOR LAMPs.-A wick
for lamps is now entirely manufactured
of glass, by Messrs. Voubriel g. Beck, of
Hanau, Germany. 1t is designed chiefly
for use in petroleum and spirit lamps ;
and with an equal amount of the wick
turned up, it gives a much brighter light
than the cotton wick. In the spirit lamp,
too, it is found to greatly increase the heat
Of the fame. No sparks are given off by
this incombustible wick, nor does the
light fare in draughts to the extent which
it does with common cotton wick
Hence, it makes the lamp safer. The
smoking is also reduced, and it is stated
that ten per cent. of oil is saved by its
use. OF course the disagreeable task OF
trimming the lamp is rendered unneces
sary tor, being of glass, the wick does
not consume, but wastes away very slight.

FLINT ONCE WAS SPoNGE.-You new
er would think it would you?-but I'm
told tnat flint really is nothing more nor
less than sponge turned to stone. Once
the sponge grew at the bottom of the sea,
as other sponges grow now; but that was
ages and ages ago, and since then the
sponge, turned to flint, has lain covered
by rocks and earth of many kinds piled
th ick above it. Seen with m horoscope,
lint shows the make of sponges in its
fbers, and sometimes you can see, bed
d ed in it, the shells Of the tiny creatures
on which the sponge had fed. Now and
then, inside flint, will be found bits of
the sponge not yet changed. That last
proof settles it; but | must say it's hard
to believe; hard as the flint, almost.

A GREAT WORK.
An Embankment TO be Built from
Oakland Point to the Ferry Slip.

The Central Pacific Railroad, about
three months ago, began very impor-
tant improvement at the Oakland termi-
nus of its line, being no less than the SUBJ
stitution Of solid embankment for the
long line of piling, stretching from Oak
land Point 10 deep water. This work is
being pushed forward as rapidly as its
nature will permit. When cempleted
the embankment will be ide enough for
our lines OF rails and carriuge road i.
There will be two lines of track for both
the local and overland trains. To the
north fthe tracks will be the wagon
road. When the filling is completed,
the railroad company proposes to erect
at the ferry slips a large and handsome
depot, similar in plan and structure to
noted Eastern passenger depots. The
bay on each side of the embankment is
70 be dredged to depth sufficient for the
anchorage of ships OF the greatest draft.
Although the work o. filing in was be-
gun SO short time ago, several hundred
yards have been completed already. The
rock used in this work is taken from
quarry at N lies, twenty miles dis
tant. At the quarry about three hun
dred Chinese are employed. The trains,
of forty five cars each, carrying ten yards
of rock per car, are constantly employed
in transporting the material to the placs
required. Nine hundred yards of rock
are daily dumped into the bay. Five or
six trains Of sixty cars each are used in
the transportation OF earth from Fruit
vale, about five miles from Oakland
Point. About 1000 yards of earth are
daily dumped at the Point. At Fruit
vale the railroad company has purchased
one hundred and four acres of land.
and piece of high land, halfs mile long
AMI thirty feet high. in the vicinity.
Some two hundred Chinese, with eight
white men, are employed in the work of
loading the trains with the dirt obtained
here. A huge steam shovel is in constant
operation, and loads twenty cars while
the laborers load the rest. 1t ia estimat.
ed that it will require not less than two
years to complete the great work, and
four years may be consumed in the con-
struction of the embankment.
