ONE Of the unexpected sources of wheat sup
ply for Europe is the river Platte country IN
South America. Large shipments of new-crop
wheat have already been made by steamers TO
Liverpool and Bordeaux Australia, also, la.
now become u serious competitor of the United
States, and during the past two months has
shipped enormous quantities Of wheat TO
England by Suez canal steamers. Countries
in The southern hemisphere finish their
winter wheat harvests at just the
tune when the supply from northern
countries begins to be exhausted These unex
pected receipts OF wheat have been the chief
cause of the recent decline in price.

THE CHINESE WALL.

The great wall of China vas meas
ured in many places by Mr.. Unthank,
an American engineer, lately engaged
in a survey for Chinese railway. His
measurement gave the height at eight
cen feet. aad q width on top of fifteen
feet. Every few hundred yards there
is tower twenty-four feet square and
from twenty to forty-five feet high.
The foundation Of the wall is solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him a brick from the wall, which is
supposed to have been made 1900
wears before the time of Christ. In the
building of this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders
never attempted to avoid mountains or
chasms to save expense. For 800
miles the wall goes over plains and
mountains, aud every foot of the found.
alton is in solid granite, and the rest OF
the structure is of solid masonry. In
some places the wall is built smooth up
against the bank of canyons or rreci-
pices where there is sheer descent OF
1000 feet. Small streams are arched
over, but in the larger streams the wafl
runs to the waters edge and tower IS
built on each side. On the top Of the
wall there are breastwcrxs or defenses
facing in and ont, SO that the defending
force can pass from one tower to the
other without being exposed to any
enemy from either side. To calculate
the time OF building or cost of this wall
is beyond human skill. So far as the
magnitude of the worl; is concerned, it
surpasses everything in ancient or
modern times OF which there is any
trace. The pyramids Of Egypt are
nothing compared to it.

Edisen's Electric Eight.
[Chlcayo Intcr-Occan.]


Edison's electric light, incredible as it
may appear, is produced from little
piece OF paper, tiny strip Of paper that a
breath would blow away. Through this
little strip of paper is passed an electric
current and the result is a bright, beauti-
full light like the mellow sunset of an
Italian aatumn. But paper instantly
burns, even under the trif1lng heat of a
tallow candle!' exclalms the skeptic,
'and how then can it withstand the fierce
heat of al electric current 2" Very true;
but Edison makes the little piece Of pa
per more intusible than platinum, more
durable than granite. And this invol
YES no complicated process. The paper is
merely baked in an oven, until all its ele-
ments have passed away except its Car.
bon framework. The latter is then placed
in a glass globe, connected with the wires
leading to the electricity producing ma
chine, and the air exhausted from the
globe. Then the apparatus is ready to
give out a light that produces no deleter-
i0us gases. no smoke, no offensive odors
"a light without fame, without sdang ger
requiring nnmatches to- ignite, giving
out but little heat, vitiating no air, and
free from all tlickerlng; a light that isa
little globe OF sunsliae, il vei t Ible Alad-
din's lamp. And this light, the inventor
claims, Can be produced cheaper than
the cheapest oil.
