Pipes by the Million.
[From the Providence Journal.

From the providence Journal
The red clay pipe is made in thfs city
at the rate of about two million year,
worth five or ten cents apiece, or ten or
twenty thousand dollars. The clay comes
from Martha's Vineyard, Governors Is
land, N. Y, and Lake Michigan. Three
hundred tons are used in year. The
three kinds of clay are mixed or ground
together. A workman with pile of
clay beside him makes from it single
rolls Of clay, each large enough to make
pipe. The next worker places the clay
in pipe mould, runs wire into the
stem part, puts it under lever and makes
the bowl. Fifteen hundred day are
moulded by one man. The moulds may
be of various designs to form the decor
ated bowl. The latest is the land
league" representing eviction on one
side and prison life on the other. In
pipes, as in other things, novelties must
be given the smoking public, and as those
interested in land leagues are fair smok-
ers, this Will be bought for use and for
patriotism.
After the moulding process the pipes
are laid away to dry or drain until the
water is well out of them. They are
then put in fre-clay receivers, one hum
dred and ninety in each, and placed in
the furnace kiln to be burnt. They oven
holds seventy thousand pipes. They are
then heated to white heat The red
clay pipe has wooden stem and a silver
band The stems are made from maple
by machinery designated for the pur-
pose. They are made black by the pro-
cess of enameling. The band is made
from circular piece of brass, that is
to say, circular piece of brass without
break or seam is turned into cylinder
about an inch in length. Some of the
pipes are stained, while others are left in
the color of the clay to be stained or col
ored by the smoker.

Where there are No Sunsets.

The following is Congressman Cox s
description of a scene at the North
Cape: 'Here in the uppermost point
In Europe and at this midsummer sea-
son there is no sunset Bring burial
weeds and sable plume, for there is no
sunset Lift the funeral song of woe
no more, and yet [ live! And must /
now be disenchanted =? Do I live, and
is sunset no more? Do see country
where the sun is going down, amid a
mise en- scene equal, if not superios, to
that Ohio evening years ago, which I
tried to portray with my poor pen, and
yet it does not go down? Was it not
enough that for ten long days there was
no night for as, and that the sun by
gliding and glowing in the north with
out any respite had disturbed our GUS
tomary experiences? The reaction
might be too sudden. The failure of an
old orb to set might-well, there is no
telling the cataleptic and other dire con-
sequences. But here was the patent
fact; here were clouds and lights; all the
hues of the prism in splendid display,
and yet no sunset after all The I'M
setting and unsetable sun Midnight,
and yet light all aglow! No gas, no
candles, no stars, no moon only the
fiery orb and his travelling clouds of
glory.
"But is not the sun all-sufficient
without other fires? If he stays up
and sets not, what more can the human
heart desire What wonder that the
oriental mind clothed the sun with the
majesty of divinity, and that the Magi
saluted his coming with worship as the
source of life? What wonder that his
beams evoked music from Memnon Is
he not the creator of health and the
great benefactor And we have found a
land where he will not rest p

A PRAYER.
BY KENNETH LEE.

Father when erring feet like mine shall turn
To thee with steps repentant, though so late, &c
learn
The narrow way.
Do not refuse to hear, but let me see
Thy hand in love outstretched to me
So long astray.
[ wandered like sheep from out the fold,
And now affrghted at the dark and cold
long for home;
And here, humble in heart on Bonded knee pray
That on my lonely road one little ray
Of light may come!
Long have struggled, fearful of my doom,
Long have wept; now in the deepening gloom
long thy face to see;
And if through WEAKNESS of wandering past
faint or falter, Fatherl hold me fast,
Nor set me free
If when Thou leadest me where storm winds blow
stand alarmed, half-doubting where to go,
Be thou my guidel
And when, at last lifes burdens all laid down,
After my weight Of cross may receive my crown
And rest safe at thy side!

JUMBO was guilty of only one piece of
mischief in all the fourteen days of the
voyage. A sailor was washing some
clothes one day within easy reach of him,
and slapped bis trunk in what was ap-
parently an offensive way to Jumbo.
After the sailor had nicely washed and
rinsed his clothes, Jumbo reached out,
grasped them, dragged them into the
dirt under his feet, rolled them over and
over until they were as black as the deck,
and then threw them back.

huge water-snake called the "sucuruyu, u

Cost and Traffic of Railroads.

The average cost of British railroads
according to the latest returns, has risen
to $197 SOL per mile, while the average
of American railroads was but 6O,65l.
The net earning of the British ROE IS
were $9654 per mile; OF the Ameircan
roads, only $1,000 per mile. The net
earning were 4,3S per cent, on the
capital in Great Britain and FER cent,
here, not as much as the average differ
ence in rates of interest in the two
countries. The traffic of the British
railroads is on the average much greater
than that of ours, but average rates are
much higher there for freight, and the
difference is not in proportion to the
difference in earning. There are many
roads with much larger traffic than
the British averages-ome with q freight
traffic probably above the British maxi
mum, and passenger traffic nos much
less-but there are only three or four
roads whose capital is equal to the Brit
ish average, and only one of these, we
believe, pays any interest on all its
capital. The capital of the New York
Central and Hudson river is S1S4,610
per mile of road owned; of the New
York, Lake Erie and Western, $685., 660 ;
of the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, S314,O00. The latter, however,
pays interest on less than one-third of
its capital; the Erie, so far, on Only one
half of its.

Myriads of Army Worms.

The army worm, in millions and myr-
lads is moving from almost every quar-
ter toward Philadelphia. In Delaware
and on the eastern shore of Maryland it
has appeared in countless thousands,
and is oyerrunning the country from
Kent county. Delaware, and Caroline
county Maryland, to such an extent as
to fill the farmers with great alarm.
Large numbers are moving north, and
some of them have got into Newcastle
county as far as Wilmington. They
attack timothy fields and destroy every
leaf on the stalks. In the fields where
there are mixed grasses they eat up the
timothy without disturbing the others.
Fields of young corn have been stripped
to the ground, and even the stalks OF
tough, well-grown corn have been de-
stroyed by the devouring millions.
Fortunately, the wheat is beyond their
reach, and no harm has been done to
the ripening grain. At points on the
Delaware railroad and the branch
Pennsylvania roads the restless masses
of insects have in crossing bean en-
countered by trains which have been
detained, because the engines in passing
over those on the rails have crushed
them into a slippery mass. On the
Delaware & Chesapeake road recently a
special train which had stopped to avoid
collision with a drove of cattle, was
started again with difficulty, on account
of the large number of worms which
were crossing the track, it being impos-
sible to get the wheels of the locomotive
started for some time. Reports from
New Jersey and upper Pennsylvania
say that the army worm is also sweep
ing over large sections Of country, de-
stroying the hay and damaging the
young corn. The worms seem to be
moving to the south and west, and a
those from Delaware and Maryland are
moving north, all Of them may meet
somewhere near this city.-Philadel-

Barrels of Human Ashes.

The students at the University of
PENNSYLVANIA have nearly all completed
their years work in the dissecting room
and that department will be closed in a
few days; in consequence of which the
interesting experiments IN crematlng
the dead bodies brought to the Univer-
sity will be discontinued for the pres
ent. It is not generally known that a
crematory has been erected in the new
college building, and that the bodies,
after they have been used by the stu
dents, are sent down to the furnace and
burned to white ashes. This DISPOSE
ton of the dead bodies is considered by
the University people much better than
the old way of throwing them into a
pit and allowing them to decompose.
The crematory furnace is large one,
built after the pattern of the one at
Washington, in this State, and will burn
as many as eight bodies at a time. As
result of its frequent and successful
use recently, the superintendent of the
crenatory has on hand several barrels
of ashes, the mortal remains of more
than hundred subjects The great
problem now is, what disposition shall
be made of the accumulation? 1t would
not be exactly proper to dump it in the
common ash heap and send it to the
fertilizers, although such q proceeding
has been proposed. The subject seems
