FACTS AND FIGURES.


Germany has now 5000 miles of
The Suez Canal shares bought by
the Beaconsfield Government at 20 in
1875 are now worth 78, q profit of over
fifty millions.
The so-called Turkish bath, which
sweats the patient with dry hot air, is
not known in Turkey. 1t originated
with DR.. Barter, at Blarney, in Ire
land, in 1856, and was soon adopted in
England.
"A vessel recently arrived in London
from the River Plate with $4,000 car
cases of sheep on board, which were
brought over in a frozen state. They
weighed on an average thirty-six pounds
each. and fetched AID. per poundin the
market. They sold as fast as possible.
Arabic land in England has been
gradually decreasing in area, the de-
crease in five years being AZ, 900 acres;
and there has also been q decrease in
the number of cattle, decrease of no
fewer than 5000. 900 sheep since 1874.
and an appreciable reduction in the
number of pigs and horses.
"A diamond which has arrived in
London from the Cape of Good Hope
is attracting much attention. 1t weighs
an ounce, and is superior in water to
the Kohinoor; $75O,OOO has been Of
fered for half share in it, uncut as it
is, and has been refused by the lucky
owner.
The waste of material in coal min
ing is enormous. It is estimated that
only two-thirds of the coal in workable
veins is taken out; there is further
loss of twenty-five per cent. in the
preparation and delivery. The Read
ing Railroad Company has spent $780,
600 in the attempt to utilize waste coal
by burning it in locomotives constructed
for the purpose.
"A Mr.. Perkins, of England. has
designed an ocean steamship which he
says on q consumption of fifty tons of
coal day of twenty-four hours will
cross from Queenstown to New York in
four days, and on occasion can make
forty miles an hour. The suggested
steamer has twin screws forward and
aft, the bow screws pulling and the
stern ones going ahead.
According to statistics published in
the Ceylon Observer, there are now S5,-
900 acres in the island planted with
cinchona, the total number of plants
being nearly 100, 900, valued at
$40. 600, 900. About 10000 acres are
planted with tea, giving an annual yield
of 100000 pounds. The relative inn
portance of coffee in Ceylon has greatly
declined.

A Curious Phenomenon.

A correspondent writes to Nature:
"As was riding along the highway
late this afternoon. my attention was at
tracted to phenomenon no less curl
GUS than beautiful. A couple of days
ago there was fall of a few inches of
very damp snow, after which the tenn
perature fell rapidly, and this morning
everything was frozen hard. A large
dog had trotted along in the snow while
it was yet damp, and where it lay upon
the old drifts by the roadside. To-day
the sun has been shining very warm.
cutting away all the new snow and
leaving the tracks of the dog in exquis-
itely perfect ice-casts, thin as writing
paper, and standing on the most deli
cate thread-like columns. about an inch
above the surface Of the old snow."

EBB AND FLOW.

Life throba with tides that cbb and fiow,
With things that come. and things that 70.
The mtsts that rise when morn IL fair,
That rise and float, then melt In air,
Are not moro transient In their stay
Than are tho hours that sped away;
For often life seems ike n dream
So quickly Hash with glance and Rieam
A thousand things that come and go,
And cause the tidcs to Obj and dow.
A sad sweet strain that's borne along
BY breath OF wind; q bit of song;
A few fond words when dear friends moot;
The music OF laugh that's sweet;
The sympathy that prompts q sigh;
A winsom face that passes by;
Brief Joys, that stay their little while;
A kindly glance, o loving smile
Thcso ever come, and ever 20.
And like the tides they ebb and fiow.
A lovely landscape, fair and bright,
One moment seen. then lost to sight;
Tho GORGEOUS clouds Mt set OF sun,
That crown the day when IL Is done;
The frosty pictures on the pane,
That fade, and come, and fade again:
Tho curling smoke that fioats away;
A snow wreath on q winters day
All these like waves that ebb and How,
With ceasolcss throb still como and go.

Miss Marianne North, an English
lady, daughter of the late Frederic
North, NJ. p, and sister-in-law of John
Addington Symonds, may be said to
have put garland about the earth, if
not girdle. For the last ten or fifteen
years she has been travelling quite
alone all over the world, everywhere
painting its rare trees and flowers with
O bit of landscape to show their habi-
tat. Bearing credentials from the
Secretary of Foreign Affairs in London,
the Government houses in all the col
onies have been open to her, and every
facility afforded for the prosecution Of
her object in the way of guides, escorts
and provision for her personal COM
fort. She has climbed mountains,
been rowed down strange rivers or
hoated down, supported by inflated
skins and been driven through wild
places in camel wagons, guarded by an
escort OF natives. During these travels
Miss North has made more than 600
studies of trees and plants (some Of
which have been before unknown even
to the botanist), and each picture con-
tanning bit of landscape showing the
habitat of the plant. This valuable
collection she has presented to the
Kew Gardens, where she has herself
built gallery for them. Miss North
has Just reached New York, via Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Tasma-
MIA, New Zealand and Borneo. In the
last named island she was the guest of
Rajah Brooke, nephew and successor of
the late Raiah, Sir James Brooke,
whose remarkable career forms such a
romantic episode in history.
