OF these, Tampico and Minatitlan are
Atlantic coast towns, and Guaymas,
Altata, San Bias, Manzanillo and Te-
hauntepec are on the Pacific coast. The
others in the interior are with few ex-
ceptions at an elevation of from 1000
to 1000 feet above the sea, and enjoy
fertility of soil and salubrity of climate
which accounts in part for their greater
population. The mineral wealth of
Mexico is generally estimated at greater
than that of any other country. Since
the. Spanish conquest, 800 years ago, the
only large Mexican exports have been
gold and silver. About 5000 mines
have been developed, and some that
were worked by the Aztecs, before the
days of Cortez, are still yielding rich re-
turns to their English and German own
ers. Rich mines exist throug hout nearly
the entire length of the country, and
quite two thirds of its breadth among
the Cordillera valleys, table-lands and
spurs or ridges. In fact, it is the mines
that have built the ancient inland cities
of Mexico, and in nearly every city
there is a Government mint. In har-
bors and rivers Mexico is wanting.
With the single exception of Guaymas,
there is not decent harbor on either
coast, and there is no navigable river.
Americans will. find this picturesque
neighbor of ours well worth closer &C
auaintance, and there is little doubt
that, with the completion of these roads,
there will be very large crowd OF Wis
itors to that country, many OF whom
will go to stay. #EE

A Thousand Dollars q Minute.

Mr.. Eddy, the veteran patent solicitor
of Boston, is regular encyclopedia of
incidents referring to inventors. He
tells of a man named Hurd, who be-
longed in Stoneham, who realized $780,
600, and gave to the world one of the
most valuable inventions ever produced
all the result of only about half an
hours thought. His invention was the
machine now everywhere used for ex-
extracting molasses from sugar. When
the idea occurred to him he sketched it
down and gave it to Mr.. Eddy, and au-
thorized him to take out patent. Re-
turning home, he forgot all about the
matter and applied himself to other
affairs. Subsequently gentleman en-
gaged-in the sugar business saw the in
vention in Mr.. Eddy's office, and at once
appreciated its value The solicitor was
instructed to purchase the patent, which
he supposed he could do for a moderate
sum. The first offer of 81, 900 was re-
fused, and not until the figure of $780,
600 was reached did Mr.. Hurd surren-
der. The machine is used in all the
sugar countries of the world. Mr.. Rob-
ertson, who was the American Consul at
Hague, and the Aspinwalls, of New
York, made millions out of the inven-
tion.-BoStOn Herald.
THE height of the earth's atmosphere
according to the result arrived at by M
Lauder from his various Investigations
is %, 900 miles, instead of $50, as pre-
viously named. He corroborates this
calculation by showing that the heigh
at which meteoric matter becomes in
candescent, on approaching the earth, il
far beyond the distance heretofore as
signed to it, and therefore there must b
an atmosphere of that greater distance
to produce the incandescence. He ais
accounts for the spectrum of the auror
borealis showing marked coincidenc
with that of the zodiacal light, by tn
theory that, since the earth travels il
the zodiacal nebulosity from Septembe
to May, the rarefed atmosphere beyon
the earth's heavy envelope of air mus
absorb some of the constituents element
of the zodiacal nebulosity, and thu
these elements make their presence az
parent in the spectrum of the aurora
which phenomenon occurs in the raritie
outer envelope.

"ARR THEY SAFEr'-An inquiry
under this caption, appears In . New
York weekly publication entitled Tn1
Hour, addressed to Ito readers, and
applying to ''safe deposit companies. -
The article has tho merit Of pointing
cut many facts connected with these
newly instituted companies, that are
well calculated to shake the faith Of
depositors, and to arouse the uathink-
ing to the great risk they run in en-
trusting their treasure and valuable
bonds. diamonds, plate, jewelry, &C.,
to institutions whose officers give no
reliable security, are comparatively
unknown and who are not amenable
to law. Without venturipg an opin.
ion we make the following extract:
"With the great competition nov ex-
isting, the business cannot be lucrative,
and those who have adopted 1t for the
last five years are mere imitators and ad-
venturers. Depositors would do we'll to
send TO the once where they store their
goods and look over the names Of the
persona whs have charge them. In the
next place, should the money, bonds or
jewelry be stolen, there 10 no redress.
Tho storage does not involve insurance
no action for damages would lie against
the officers Of thsl company, who give
you no bond or guarantee, only Q key
and promise, and these same ofiic ~
are often men Of straw. Then, there IL
the peril Of tre. Many Of these COM
panies are in granite buildingn, and II 10
within the experience Of Boston that
granite offers little or no resistance to
the flames. In this connection It would
be we'll to recoll the burning Of the
Panteohnicen In London. This was q
vast storage warehouse which had been
in existence . great many years and
which was supposed 70 be hreproof.
Still, 1t caught fire and . great part Of
Its valuable contents, including rare fur
niture, choice paintings, family heir
looms, tens Of thousands Of articles Of
vertu and brie-abrAc were consumed VI
rendered worthless. Then, there IL the
peril from mobs. With the treasures OF
. city scattered, the leaders Of q mob do
not know where to look for them.
When, however, proclamation 10 made
to the whole world that In cartain we'll
known places are stored the money,
jewels and securities OF all our wealthy
people, the leaders Of . mob viii know
where TO 60 TO spoil the rich Of their
portable possessions. The history of all
large cities shows that at one tune or
other the desperate classes obtain tenn
