A Magnificent Building.

Ten years ago the Hotel de Vile, at
Paris, was destroyed by the Commune.
Four years ago the blackened and
crumbled walls stared at the passers-by.
But now comes the announcement
that the new Hotel de Vile is nearly
finished. 1t is magnificent building
and has already cost vast deal OF
money. The estimates for doors, win
dow frimes, glass and locks amounts
to $3.50, 900, and over s4O0, 900 is al
lowed for interior decoration and fur
nishing. The Partisan journals give a
detailed description of the new build
ing, from which it is learned that on the
four fronts LOG statues, each eight feet
in height, will be displayed in inches.
All these, says one journal, will be
representations of persons born in Paris
and raised by their genius, patriotism
or public service to eminence, and it is
gratifying to learn that nearly fourth
OF the number will signalize the merits
and the labors of literary men.

An Extravagant Mormon.

John Taylor, the successor of Brig
ham Young, intends to live in sumptu-
oIs style. If the Salt Lake Tribune is
to be believed, Taylor is fitting up the
amelia Palace" luxuriously. "Yester-
day." one reads, six loads of magnifi.
cent chairs and sofas we're dumped
down in the back yard" The cost OF
furnishing the s'Palace" "with $500 car
pets, $3.50 sofas and SIS easy chairs" is
estimated at S75, 900 or 100000. Tay-
lor's excuse for his extravaganza is that
he is preparing TO receive "the princes
and potentates of Europe and senators
and congressman" who may go to Utah.
The cellar is to be well stocked with the
best champagne for the entertainment
of visitors, ''but when John Taylor
thinks bottle is liable to spoil he feel
at liberty to slip downstairs and save
the wine"

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Star-fshes and sea-urchins are de-
veloped from a secondary larva, which
appears to be produced within the body
of first larva
NJ. Richenbach, in noticing the state
ment that DIR. E. G. Spitzka found in
the egg of q turtle live maggot, says
that he once found in a hens egg
small piece of printed paper.
Mr.. Maxwell Hall has succeeded in
establishing regular system of mete-
geological observations throughout the
island of Jamaica, and both shipping
and agricultural interests have the bene
fit of weather forecasts.
A society for the promotion of expeli-
mentation in navigation of the air has
been formed in Berlin. All plausible
ideas and inventions in that direction
are to be encouraged, aided and thor
oughly tested. A permanent station
for giving aerial voyagers good start
on their flying trips is to be provided.
The main object of the association will
be the attainment of some practical and
Trustworthy method of steering bal
looms or other air ships, this being the
first point to be overcome, and no pro-
gress being possible without it.
DR.. de Plongeon, of Mexico, has made
some interesting excavations in the ruins
of Uxmal, near Merida, Yucatan. He
has found well preserved bust of the
god Cay, with al inscription in the
Mayo language, stating that the god is
Isaa, i. e., necessary revealer OF Mes
siah. Near the bust was an altar with
cabalistic signs. Other articles in the
ruins bear striking resemblance to
those discovered at Heliopolis and
Memphis, and he believes he has traced
Chaldaic words in the inscription on a
stone forming part of Free Mason's
lodge of the first class. He has placed
dynamite cartridges round the ruins in
order to prevent the Indians from COM
ing to them.

FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS.

Antiquarians say that the umbrella was In
vented shortly after the food, and has been the
least improved upon of all appliances for human
comfort, the shape being now Us 1t was in those
youthful days of the world. An umbrella is
much like pigeon as to the question of posses
sion-the last one who gets it owns it. The fol-
lowing facts about umbrellas especially the last
one-may serve every reader a splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your umbrella in rack
lndlcatesthat it is about to change owners. An
umbrella carried over woman, the man getting
nothing but drippings OF the rain, indicates court
snip. When the man has the umbrella and the

that an eye is to be lost by the man who follows

Telegraph.Pole Curiosities.

1t is an ascertained fact that, under
certain circumstances, telegraph poles
are subjected to tie attacks of birds
and animals. 1t seems that in Norway
there is variety of the woodpecke1
which is very destructive of the poles.
The bird is to be seen pecking away at
the wood until, with that hammar-iike
movement of the head peculiar to the
woodpecker, he has bored hole through
the post. In studying why these wood
peckers should be SO busy with the
poles, the solution is that the bird,
hearing the vibrations of the wire so
distinctly carried through the wood,
imagines that there is an insect con-
cealed in the heart of the pole, and ac-
cordingly tries to get at it. But larger
creatures than birds are deceived by
this vibration. Bears in Norway are
very destructive of telegraph poles.
This same vibratory sound they fancy
is ''the grateful humming of the bees,
and rushing to the post they look about
for the honey" Fancy bear at the foot
of pole, his mouth watering for the
luscious food, and not morsel OF the
dripping sweetness to be foundl His
anger is at once aroused, and in a most
reprehensible way bruin scratches at
the pole, and carried away by his pas
sion works away at the stones placed at
the base, doing his best to bring down
the pole, not exactly satisfied in his
own mind but that after all there may
be honey hidden somewhere. "Indis-
putaDle traces of bears about PROSTATE
posts and scattered stones prove that
this BIAS really happened" writes MIR.
Nielsen, of Christiania. who has studied
this subject. But on the other hand
telegraph poles seem to frighten away
the wolves, who look with suspicion at
the stretched wires, imagining them to
be some kind of trap devised for their
destruction. ~s' When twenty or more
years ago telegraph line was carried
over the mountains and along the val
leys the wolves totally disappeared, and
a specimen is now rarity" says Mr..
Nielsen

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.
The Importance of timely legislation
with respect to the ascertainment and
declaration of the vote for Presidential
Electors was sharply called to the at
tention of the people more than fouI
years ago.
It is TO be hoped that some well de.
fined measure may be devised before
another national election, which will
render unnecessary resort TO any ex.
pedient of a temporary character for the
determination of questions upon con.
tested returns.
PRESIDENTIAL DISABILITY.
Questions which concern the very ex.
lstercc f the government and the lib
critics of the people were suggested by
the prolonged illness of the late Presi-
dent and his subsequent incapacity to
perform the functions of his office. 1t
IS provided by the second article of the
Constitution in the fifth clause of its first
section, in case of the removal of the
President from Office or of his death,
resignation or disability to discharge
the powers and duties of said office. the
same shall devolve upon the Vice-Presi-
dent. What is the intendment of the
Constitution in the specification of ina
Dlilty TO discharge the powers and .du-
| nes OF said office as one of the contin-
gencles which calls the Nice-President
to the exercise of presidential functions ?
LIS the inability limited in its nature to
longg-continued intellectual incapacity.
or has it a broader import? How must
Its existence be established? Has the
PRESIDENT whose inability is the sub
lect OF inquiry any voice in determin.
ing whether or not it exists. or is
the decision Of that momentous and
delicate question confided to the Vice
President, or is it contemplated by the
Constitution that Congress should pro-
vide by law precisely what should con-
stltute inability, and how and by what
tribunal or authority it should be ascer-
tanned? If the inability proves TO be
temporary in its nature, and during its
continuance the Vice-President lawfully
exercises functions of the Executive. by
what tenure does he old his office :?
Does he continus as President for the
remainder of the four wears term:
or would the elected President, if
his Inability should cease in the in
terval, be empowered to resume his
office? and if, having such lawful au-
thority, he should exercise it, would the
Vice-President be thereupon empowered
to resume his powers and duties assuch /?
l cannot doubt that these important
questions will receive Your early and
thoughtful consideration.
Deeply impressed with the gravity Of
the responsibilities which have so unex-
pectedly devolved upon me, it will be
my constant purpose to cooperate with
you III such measures as will promote
the glory of the country and the pros
perity OF its people.
