A writer in the Scientific American
estimates that 1,500, 900 baskets are
used in the South for harvesting a crop
of cotton. These are made of oak splits
and generally last but one year. They
cost the planters about 81, 000, O00. He
asks, If it is not possible that a basket
may be made Of iron, either wire or
ribbons, which would last several sea-
sonsP The ribbons or splits might be
made of some cheap quality of steel so as
to be elastic, and il they could be made
to weigh not more than fifteen to twen-
ty pounds each, and not to cost more
than 50 to $3.50, they might prove a
great success.

Considerable amazement has been
occasioned at Piqua, o., by the convic-
ton of j. Manford Kerr, a prominent
young lawyer. politician, author. and
recently an editor, of a penitentiary Of
Tense. Mr.. Kerr has been doing a real
estate business for several years past,
and he was indicted and convicted on
tho charge Of selling land without a
title. A few months ago he married an
accomplished young lady, daughter Of
a prominent business man in Troy.
Kerr. himself an accomplished scholar,
moved in the best society, and was en-
tirely free from the petty vices to which
young men are usually addicted. 1t is
but Just to Mr.. Kerr to state that he
claimed to have q contract for the land,
but the paper had become lost. This
fact was also testified to by Kerris broth
or and another witness, but the jury at
tached no faith to the evidence of the
contract Public opinion is somewhat
divided, with the preponderance against
Kerr. Rumors are rife of other dishon-
est transactions perpetrated by Kerr.
but SO skillfully that he did not como
within the pale of the law.

What the Future Has in Store.

Prof. Perry, an eminent English saw
ant, in a recent lecture predicted that
the time WAS close at hand when all the
heating would be done without fuel or
fear OF conflagration; when all lighting
would be freed from grease, smoke or
odor; when all power would be supplied
without the chance OF explosion, fire or
exhaustion OF material; when the tels-
graph would send fac SMILES OF letters
and the mail would become obsolete;
when telephones would maintain neigh
borly intercourse a thousand miles
away; when photophones would render
audible the music OF the spheres, or the
awful bowling of sun storms through
hundred thousand miles OF cloud; when
microphones would collect the imper-
ceptible noises Of invisible nature and
teach us the song OF the animalculie as
We have been taught the song OF the
robin and the meadow lark; when one
pervading agency of nature, which IS or
represents no material, no destructive
process, but merely change OF condl
ton, and which is, possibly, the sole
power of all material existence is fully
applied. The possibilities OF science. or
rather of electricity, which is coming to
mean all OF science that regards energies
of nature, are amazing even to those
who are beginning to get used to whls'
pered conversation carried on over a
half dozen miles OF wire, by the light OF
a voltaic arc that closely mocks the sun,
timed by an electric clock that rocks the
cradle end runs sewing machine.

The Marriage Question.

Pail Mall Gazette.
II il significant OF the change which
is passing over the European concep-
tions of life and morality that at the
present moment nearly every Legisla-
lure in Europe is more or less pieoccu'
pied with the marriage question. In
Hungary they have just iegalized the
marriage OF Jews and Christians, and
are discussing the introduction OF oohg'
atorv civil marriage. In Denmark the
Folkethiug has been discussing the re-
marriage OF divorced persons. In Spain
the Sagasta Ministry IS busted about the
re-establishment of civil marriages. NJ.
Naauet's bill for legalizing divorce was
defeated short time ago by the French
Chamber, which is now called upon to
deal with proposals legalizing the mar
rage of brothers-in-law with their sls-
ters.in.law and the marriage OF priests.
In Italy the divorce question has been
brought before the Legislature by pro-
posal 10 sanction divorce when either
IKE husband or the wife has been con.
demned to penal servitude for life, and
to convert legal separation into Oh:
vorce when three years, in the case oil
childless marriages OF five years, II there
are children, have elapsed without re-
Cancellation after the judgment oil sep
aration was pronounced. By this pro.
posal every separation de corps"
would ripen into divorce by lapse OF
time. Ii will be interesting TO see how
so drastic a proposal will be received by
the Italian Chamber.

Camille was a scrub girl at Wizards.
She loved Pierre, young Republican,
who BACKED the bOSts OF guests. Pierre
did not know this. Often she stool at
the head OF the back stairs and watched
him scraping the mud from the shoes
and humming softly to himself the song
that he had learned when boy. There
was no hydrant in the little hallway
where Pierre had his Office, and often,
when the rush of visitors was great,
Pierre would have hard work to furnish
enough saliva TO properly moisten the
blacking. At these times, when he had
gone to borrow a chew of tobacco from
Ned Harris, the night clerk, Camille
would iun down the stairs and spit In

SciOusly she kept scrubbing away at the

Camille, because the latter had once
charged her with wearing striped stock

was seated and began talking to him.
