Curious Calculations.

If we suppose the distance between
the earth and the sun (about ninety-two
and one-third millions of miles) to be re-
duced to O dozen rods or more, the size
of the two globes to be reduced in the
same proportion, the distance from the
earth TO the nearest fixed star would still
be, on the same scale, about 8, 600 miles,
and to the more distant ones it would be
not less than Is, co., 600 miles.
From those more distant stars the
light must travel for sixty centuries be-
fore it reaches 1s-and yet light travels
30 fast that it would circle round the
earth more than seven times In single
second of time. III the sun could be re-
duced, in imagination, to 1-lO0 OF an
inch in diameter, the earth would then
be of microscopic size, about lilo, 900 of
an inch, but the distance between it
and the nearest star would not be less
than three miles. III the sun were q
hollow sphere and the earth were placed
at its center, with the moon revolving
around it in its established orbit, there
would still be distance of 200, 600 miles
from the lunar orbit to the surface of the
solar sphere.
If these relations of size and distance
are inconceivable, the forces which COM
pei the planets to move in their ellipti-
cal orbits are quite as much beyond our
comprehension. A bar of steel three
inches square will sustain weight of
$40 tons, but bar having section of
IA square inches would sustain S,640
tons, which upon a railroad would re-
quire 864 cars to support it and twenty
three locomotives TO transport it. To de-
fleet the moon from straight course into
it's present orbit, or, what Is the same
thing, to retain it in its pres
emit course, would require the united
strength of not less than eight
steel bars, each 100 miles square, or,
more accurately, single bar whose sec
ton is 81, 800 square miles-more than
large enough to cover the States of New
York and Ohio together. If this force
were represented by a web of steel
wires, each one-quarter of an inch in
diameter, stretched from the earth to
the moon, they would be distributed
over our earth on the moon side only
six inches apart, and If n similar web
were stretched from the earth to the
sun the force exerted between these two
bodies would require the wires to cover
one side of the earth as close together
as blades of grass upon lawn.-Prof.

The Locomotive Engineer.

The London Telegraph pays splen-
did and deserved tribute to the men who
hold the lives of hundreds in their hands
the locomotive engineer. 1t says /:
"Most passengers are rs ignorant, hap
PLY, of the pitfall under their feet rs one
is of the intricate process OF digestion, or
of the anatomy of the human frame
They take their journeys ~ they take
their food, trusting blindly that, some
how or other, it will he all right, and
that the narrow corners will be shaved,
and it seldom occurs to them to express
their thankfulness for the manly devoI
ton which contributes to their safety.
While faith is the guiding rule of the trav-
eler, duty is the absorbing principle of the
railway servant. But does it never occur
to the wakeful traveller as the lamps flash
past him, as the trains PUSHES over the
bridges and through network of signals
as the tunnel seems a duller roar and the
lighted station suppressed scream,
when the pulse of the motion never stops
and the impetus Mt times becomes almost
terrible, what sense of gratitude there
ought to be toward those lonely men, who,
faithful to the end, turn this point and
that, shift the lamps, keep watch and
ward, aud clear the way for the swift
express? Those who have trusted them
selves to this splendid power are utterly
powerless. Their lives are in the hands
of the men who drive the train, and of
the signal men who watch. Yet there
is no sleep in the signal box or at the
tunnel mouth there is no conversation,
no distraction, nothing but dull mo
notony of duty. A score of things may
have happened the staff may be short
handed, some one is unexpectedly on the
sick list, some good-natured fellow may
have done double duty out of pure com
radeshIp; but this makes no difference
in the safety of the line. There need be
no cause of fear when such men know
their duty and do it.

Pins. Past and Present.

10 the young lady whose intricate
overskirt is held in innumerable folds b.,
many pins, it may seem a hardship thai
her yearly allowance of pins is oaly
about one hundred and forty. Snci,
however, is the case with each individual
in the United States on an equitable
division of the pins yearly sold in this
country. But the Indians in the West
are not supposed to use their full allow
ance, and collar buttons have so far done
away with the use of pins by gentlemen
generally that the young lady may per-
haps provide herself with some one else Is
allowance. The pins made in the United
somewhat scattered as to locality, but
chiefly in New England. Their annual
production for several years past has
been about 1000, 100000 pins. This
number has not varied much for some
years, the demand remaining about the
same. A few of these 1000, 000, 000 ase
swallowed by children, number are
bent up in schools and placed in vacant
and inviting chairs, and some millions
get into cracks of floors, and the rest for
the most part are scattered along the
byways and highways where they have
dropped from dresses and been left to
work their way into the earth.
Two years ago the competition among
the nine principal companies then exist.
ing for the manufacture of toilet pins led
to such cutting of prices that the bust
ness became Improbable and the mar
ket was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fami-
lies even bought in wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago n combiua-
ton was formed of three wire companies
and now oil of the pins made by them
are shipped to New York, and handled
by the head agency in this city. From
their common warehouse they are sent
to every part of the country in quantities
varying according to the female popu-
lation.
The importations of English pins are
small, and the expectation of pins from
the United States is confined to Cuba,
South America and parts of Canada,
where, however, but few pins are sent.
England supplies almost the whole world
outside of the United States, although it
is claimed that the American pins are
not inferior in quality. Quality. how
ever is a matter which but slightly con-
Germs the retail buyer. To him paper
of pins is paper of pins SO long as they
don't have heads on both ends.
The raw material-the brass and iron
wire from which all American pins are
made-is from the wire mills of this
country, and much of the machinery for
their manufacture is of American inven-
ton and patent.

Able 70 support Themselves.

The imperial family of Germany is
quite able, to support itself. If the Crown
Prince were deprived OF his inheritance
he could easily win bread and butter by
his skill as u turner; while his eldest son,
Prince Wilhelm, is an excellent amateur
artisan. On the Emperor's cabinet are
several samples of his dead grandson
Waldemars proficiency as bookbinder.
This acquisition of trade is in accord
ance with the Evolutionary customs in
the royal family, which prescribe that
every Prince of the blood shall learn
some useful handicraft, SO as to strength
en- his spirit of independence and make
him wise through actual contact with
the material world

The Cofee.Planter,s Life.

The coffee planter lives free and jol-

Perhaps it may be little monotonous,
as his territory is small and the thing
grown is only one. 1t liz all coffee

the barbacues, coffee in every twist of
The planter seizes on probably one OF
the most lovely spots on the earth for
his operations but he does not improve
the aspect of it. The shrub itself is
pretty enough at all times, but it is not
allowed to bear luxuriantly, and the dry
red earth is always visible through il.
The land must not bear weed nor u
blade of grass, that is thought worthy of
producing coffee. Looking down from
height, the stranger will Mt first think
plantation fair enough to the eyes,
but when he is among the sunny paths,
with the soil itself close to his eyes--the
red-hot soil--he will hardly long be fas-
cinated with the look of the place. The
bungalow stands probably Ill the middle
of the plantation, and here the master
is informed, few minutes after 6 in the
morning, how many hands have been
mustered to the work for that day. At
isthe labors of the day are over but it
A to be remarked that the Tamil labor
er works throughout the day without
rest or food. What he wants in the
morning he takes before 6. and then
wants nothing till he goes home at 4 to
cook his rice and curry. These men live
in little villages on the plantations,
which are called coolie lines and at no
great distance, on the nearest high road,
there is always q coolie bazaar, in which
the Tamil laborers make their purchases.
A coffee planter, think, should be mar
ried. l do not understand how other
wise he is to get through with his even
ings. That theory of working all day
and reading the history of England on
other improving books, with teapot be-
fore one, till bedtime, has never held
water yet.

Suicidal Facts.

The Frenchman kills himself to q very
large extent. No less than 149 French
men commit suicide every year. This
is what we might expect of people
struggling to remember day by day
whether they are living under King
or an Emperor or one of two or three
kinds of republics. The reading of
French newspapers must else be pro-
litic cause of suicide. The reader is liza
BILE at almost any time to be shocked by
finding news paragraph setting forth
some occurrence of not more than three
days old. Of course, Frenchman of
nervous temperament would be serious.
ly disturbed by succession of such
shocks happening within space of six
months, and would very likely in his ex-
element seek the sure serenity of death.
Life is hardly worth living in country
where you may be dragged out of bed Mt
any hour in the night by excited patriots
and required to lend hand in upset.ing
the Government The wonder is, not
that SO many Frenchmen commit sui
eide, but that suicide is not the univer-
sal practice.
One would imagine that the Danes
WOulu NcIJ StluOul NIL blltlliotlNtb.
They have a small country, the geogra-
ply of which they can master in half al
hour, and they are believed to be pros
porous and happy people, exempt from
revolutions and elections, and to very
great degree from daily newspapers and
malaria. Nevertheless, out of the small
population of Denmark 25S persons kill
themselves every year. The fact admits
of but two explanations, neither of
which will be felt to be fully satisfa t.
ry. We may assume that as a nation
the Danes are still trying to understand
what was the the famous Schlesw1g-
Holstein question which led to the war
with Russia and Austria, and that many
of them are thereby reduced to such 3.
state of disgrace that they seek refuge
in death or, we may suppose that the
Muhlbach novels, which few years ago
devastated this country, have been trans
lated into Danish and are universally
read. These two causes would undoubt-
edly be sufficient to account for any
quantity of suicides, but it is not GER
tain that either the Schleswig- Holstein
question or the Muhlbach novels engage
TO any extent the attention of the Danes
of the present time. -NeW York Times
