ECONOMIC kNOWLEDGE.-A circular has
just been issued by the English educational
authorities which proposes plans for teach
ing economic knowledge to children. It
says that much may be done in this direc-
ton by means of "simple lessons on
money, on the conditions which affect the
rate of wages, on the relations of skill,
prudence and knowledge to industrial sue.
cess, and on the right ways of spending
and saving" The Pail Mall Gazette says !:
ut would be an excellent thing, if side
by side with the general savings bank
small banks could be worked within the
schools themselves, in which the scholars
could make deposits for near and special
ends. The elder boys and girls might be
allowed to manage them-of course under
competent supervision and in this way
they would learn to keep real accounts,
and be accustomed to the responsibilities
as well as the enjoyment of money. Then,
if the purposes of the banks were wisely
chosen, they would serve to encourage
reasoning tastes in the children. Saw
ings could be collected toward payment for
books, or pictures, or tools of superior
sort to those that children pick up for
themselves-for things which they regard
as out of their reach, but which they are
only too glad to acquire when they are
shown the way. By these means their
pence would be continually and rapidly
converted into solid possessions in which
they could find immediate pleasure and
profit; and at the same time they would
be daily experiencing that delightful sense
of steadily increasing having which is
the most certain as well as the most legiti-
mate reward OF the exercise Of the eco
nomic virtues

AFTER coNKLING, WHAT?

Unless the men who have deposed Conk
ling are determined to do better with the
political situation in New York, the change
may after all prove to have been delusive
as regards tie prospect of reform. To
have exchanged one IS Boss for another
would not have been worth while. 1t is
true that in some things Conkling was Pc
culiarly offensive, but it was not necessary
to make deadly war upon him for these
matters alone. His objectionable sin was
that of his "Bossship, and that it is which
must not be restored in any form. Col
lector Robertson has given some hope of
better things by stating upon assuming
Office that he intended to make no present
removals, and none at all save for the pub
lie benefit, but of course when men talk
about the public benefit they may mean
anything or nothing. and it would have
been much more satisfactory had Mr.. Rob-
ertson plainly declared that he would
maintain and abide by the rules already in
force IN NnS new OEh SuotOHi-uOuoS' L nv
friends of Conkling talked for time of
making fight against the party in New
York this fall, but the indications are that
nothing of the kind will be done, because
Conkling will have no followers left by
that time. The opportunity OF the re-
formers, however, has arrived. 1t is their
duty to step to the front and see that the
old machine is not restored. 1t is OF
no use pulling down one " Boss " merely
to put up another, and it is to be hoped
that if President Garfield survives he will
put his hand to the plow of civil service
reform, and help those who in New York
have yet to fight more than one battle
against the spoils system before they can
claim to have succeeded in destroying it,

UNHAPPY SEQUEL TO ROMANCE
Mention was made few days ago of the
romantic marriage of a young lady of
Richmond, Va, who answered an adver-
tisement of an Ohio widower for a govern.
ess to take charge of young child. The
widower's name was Thomas Marvin, and
he represented himself to be wealthy. He
proposed marriage to the young lady, was
accepted, and the ceremony took place as
soon as possible, the husband settling $780,
600 on his bride on the wedding. day. The
telegraph announces an unhappy sequel to
the romance. The alleged wealthy widower
was fraud of the first water, his wealth a
sham, and he sustained his pretentiens by
forgery. He has capped the climax Of
infamy by DESERVING his wife, who is now
en- route homeward, while detectives are
on the track of the scoundrel Marvin, who
is supposed to have fled to Canada. There
is moral in the transaction which young
ladies susceptible to the destinations Of
supposed wealthy strangers would do we'll
to heed. Marrying such parties in haste
is risky business, and may lead to repent.

SPECIAL STEELs-A special steel for
traps, called mild -centered cast-steel, is
made by converting cogged ingot of
very mild cast.steel, 30 that the addi-
tional carbon penetrates short distance.
These bars are afterward hammered or
rolled down to the size required, and
have the advantage of possessing a hard
surface without losing the toughness of
the mild center. Another special steel,
somewhat analogous to mild -centered cast
steel, is produced by melting a hard steel
on to a slab of iron or very mild steel,
heated hot enough to weld with the molten
steel, SO that a bar may be produced one
half of which is iron and the other
half steel, or three.fourths iron and
one-fourth steel, as may may be required.
a third kind of special steel, which is
used for turning tools, for chilled rolls,
magnets, and some other purposes, is made
by adding certain percentage of wolfram,
or, as the metal is more generally called,
tungsten, sometimes with and sometimes
without carbon, sometimes to such an ex-
tent that it can be used without harden
ing in water. Special steel of this kind
is the finest grained that can be produced,
but it is so brittle that, in the hands of any
other than exceptionally skilled workmen,
it is useless. The addition of-chromium,
instead Of wolfram, has somewhat the same
effect.

u. Sir John Lubbock has just recorded
some interesting facts concerning the effect
of light upon ants. His conclusions are
that these insects must have very differ
emit perception of light and color from what
we do. We all know that ray of white
light passed through a prism becomes
broken up into beautiful band of colors-
the spectrum. To our eyes it is bounded
by red at one end and violet at the other.
Bnt ray of light contains other rays not
visible to our eyes, called, but not with alb
solute correctness, heat and chemical rays.
The heat rays extend beyond our limits of
vision at the red end, and the chemical
rays at the violet end of the spectrum.
Sir John undertook to determine whether
the limit of visibility of these rays is the
same with us as with ants, and in series
of interesting experiments has become
convinced that they perceive the ultra
violet rays which are quite invisible to us.
These must appear to them as a different
color, of which we can form no idea, while
white light with this added component
may not appear the same to them as to us.

Concerning Applause.

The New York correspondent Of the
Rochester Democrat writes: Now that
the theaters are open for the season,
twenty-one in number, including con-
certs, the question of applause is one
of much importance. 1t is we'll known
that not only the players depend on
their friends to start these fattering ex-
pressions, but the managers also en-
ploy leaders to strike in at the sensation
al occasions. 1t may be added that ap-
plause as part of public performances
is as old as history itself. The Isthmi-
"a games were accompanied by loud
vociferations, which were heard as far
rs the sea. From Greece the custom
reached Rome, and Seneca speaks of
clapping the hands and waving robes.
The Romans had three kinds of ap-
plause. One WAS the bombus, which
resembled the loud buzzing OF bees,
and was made by the mouth and hands.
The next was the imbrices, caused by
beating on the sounding vessels placed
in theaters for that purpose, and the
third was the tesla, which was merely
an increase on the last mentioned.
From the theater the custom passed
naturally to the church, and though
this was censured by Augustine, it was
still common to greet fine passage in
a sermon by demonstration. Some
pious people carry out this very idea
when they utter their fervent amen "
as the preacher pours out his eloquent
and moving utterances. Some of the
clergy are gratited at such things, as it
shows that the congregation is listen
ing, but the custom is generally on the
decline.
