The suffering in Germany for lack
of employment is great, and the
natural gain in population is about
500 900 year. Under such circum-
stances several German statesman
are convinced that emigration is in
evitable, but they have begun to
argue that the great stream of peo-
pie pouring out might better be
utilized for the benefit of Germany
than in enriching America, England
and many other countries all over
the world. But colonization has not
yet been favorably looked upon by
the German Government, whose
aim is the concentration of its pow
ers within its own compact domain.

INV [
A Strange Experiment.

Nature says: "a curious and lit.
tle-known experiment, showing the
resistance of air in guns, is described
by Prof. Daniel Colladon, Of Geneva,
in a recent letter to Nj. Melens Bul.
letin Belg. Aead. No. 81. He fully
charged with compressed air the hol-
low iron breech of an air-gun, serv~
ing as reservoir. Having screwed
up the gun he introduced round
ball running freely, but nearly filling
up the bore; then placing the gun
vertical, he seized the upper end and
pressed his thumb vigorously on the
mouth. The gun was then Hired
by an assistant, while the thumb re-
manned in position, and the ball was
heard TO fall back in the bore. There
upon after recharging the breech and
with the same ball he shot the latter
at pine board 04 inches thick or a
pane of glass, and it passed through.
M. Colladon says the experiment
is without danger if the operator is
sure of the strength of his thumb, If
the gun is more than thirty-two
inches long, and if the ball is spheri
cal and nearly fills the gun, in which
it must act like a piston. The pres.
sure of the thumb must cause an
hermetie closure of the bore or the
thumb may receive serious injury"

About Cairo.

Cairo the modern capital OF Egypt,
and the largest town in Africa, IS
sit uated on the eastern bank of the
Nile, twelve miles above the apex OF
the Delta. 1t is surrounded by walls,
and lies in the midst of gardens and
groves; but the streets are narrow
and crooked, though very consider
alb lie improvements have been made
of late years, especially in the Euro
pean, American, and Jewish quar-
tiers. The bazaars are numerous and
splendid, and are well supplied with
goods of every description. There
are upwards of 400 mosques in the
city, and the tombs of the Caliphs,
which are, however, on the outside
of the walls, are magnificent speci-
mems of Arabian architecture. On
the opposite bank of the river is the
small town of GheZeh, in the neigh
borhood of which are the three larg-
est of the Egyptian pyramids. To
the south of the city is the site of
the ancient city of Memphis. The
city of Cairo occupies an area of at
least three square miles. 1t is the
official residence of the Khedive, and
of the various representatives or the
European Powers. Its inhabitants
are Turks, Arabs, Cops, Jews, Ar
menians, Syrians, &c, the ruling
class being almost all Turks. The
population of the city in 1878 was
349. SS3.

Greatest OF All.

The Buffalo Express of a recent
date, has the following concerning
Forepaugh's colossal show. 1t was
published after the exhibition had
departed from that city. As Fore
paugh is coming here on Monday,
October Both, we copy the ntterance
of the Express
The old way with the circus men,
at least a good many of them, was
10 advertise more than they had.
Often the bills made considerable
. more of show than was to be seen
in the show itself. People went
with the expectation of being dis
appointed and were; vowed they
would never attend the circus again
and pushed for the front seats ut
the next one that came along. But
Mr.. Adam Forepaugh has quite
reversed this order. He actually
shows more than he adVertiSeS; and
he is a liberal advertiser, too. His
establishment came TO the city by
ats own railroad trains yesterday
morning, and two exhibitions We're
given. The first one was attended
by the largest crowd ever seen at
any afternoon entertainment in
Buffalo. The evening attendance
was yet larger, 80 great that al
though the ring pavilion viii ac-
commOdate 1900 with seats, the
doors had to be closed and thOuS-
ands turned away. OF the show
itself, and as a whole, the statement
may at once be made that IL proved
the best that has been here under
canvas, which is broad assertion,
but is warranted by the facts.
The feature of the forenoon was
the street procession. Immense
crowds were out to see the pageant
of which the attractiveneSs had not
been magnified, even by the ford
descriptive text of the bills. The
people were all seemingly agreed
that il was free show par excel
lenee.
In speaking of the performance
in and above the two rings it is
difficult to determine where TO
begin and where TO leave off. For
the most we must perforce general
iZe, and say that there is complete
novelty, with positively every part
IL
There is nearly too much. One is
almost wearied by the almost inter
minable succession of surprising
tcats on the track or in mid air.
There are the traditional clowns,
good ones, and some other features
of the old fashioned circus, but the
great portion OF the entertainment
il strictly new. The daring, thrill
ing aerial flights of the SilbOn
troupe are alone we'll worth going
a long way and paying good price
to see. Signor Leonati's ascension
and descent of a lofty, narrow, spi-
raj roadway, mounted on bicycle,
is an astonishing feat of balancing,
which must beSeen to be fully COM
pretended. Louisa RentZ is one of
the most graceful riders we have
ever seen her SOmerSaults make
the eyes of the lookers-On open
wide with wonder. These perform
ers, with many others, hardly loss
worthy of note, are all new to the
American public. The accomplish
ments Of the educated horses and
the trained elephants surprise and
delight.
Forepaugh will exhibit here
Monday, Oct. 80.
