The only solution of the problem is further vote of money from the treasury vault to feed the red paupers.

 From El Paso to the City of Chi huahua ny the Mexican Central Tail way, the distance is 232 miles, l3u of which is ironed, and ali the bal 4nce of the road graded except about s miles. The track layers are close up to the bridge men, who have been delayed somewha, by having to make so many culverts, as great many of lhe same were considered necessary. The first hundred miles of the road has been accepted and the govern ment subsidy of $900,00O is now due, which will probably be received hy tie company in a few days. Quite d number of workmen from he front are returning to this city and like the migratory birds, are vending their way northward for summer work.

From The DetrGit Flee Presr
 One day in the years agone a stranger arrived in Dearborn, in this county, and inquired for a citizen commonly known as Uncle Ike. The old man was soon found in grocery, and after the usual "how-de do" the stranger said:
 "Do I address Uncle Ike Barlow:"
 "You dew," was the reply.
 Well, my name is Thorburn, of Ann Arbor."
 "Jess so."
 "They tell me that you are great horse trader"
 "WelI, dew make trade now and then. What ;e go;?"

HEAT. LIGHT AND POWER"

Under the above heading the New York Broker and Banker says an ex. hibition has just been given of tn, Holland fuel process.

Following is wha, the Banker and Broker says of tn, test:
 An exhibition has just been giver of the Holland fuel process.

J. The experiment demonstrated the Ca pacity of the process to get up sui ticirnt heat for the ordinary locomo tive within 12 to l5 minutes, and showed that this heat was under such command that child could regulate its opening, closing and intensity. The fuel is naptha and water, and the process is simpl, and oxy-hydrogen blow pipe on SC economical scale that, practically. water becomes the fuel. There is neither smoke nor ash, and the ex pertinent seems to fully justify oui prediction that this process would be adopted for our railroads at an earl> day, and that the first to use il would be practical masters Of the situation Among those present at the expert, ment were Mr. Patton, ex. x.publshel of the World, Mir.

Arthur's Objections to the Chinese
 RtlI

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The pres ident's veto of the Chinese bill Was received and read immediately. The president said that after careful con- sideration he returned the bull with his objections. He held that it con. flicted with treaty obligations and violated the faith of the nation, and hoped congress wou d "ndeavOr t. find another that would meet the cx
 pectations of the people of the United States and not conflict with the rights of China. In discussing the meaning of the word "laborerS " '" as used in the treaty, the president concludes it Is intended to include artisans or skilled Iaborers. In re- gard to the terms of suspension, he says, "The examination which have made of the treaty, and of it's declarations, which its negotiators have left on record, of the meaning of its language, leaves no doubt in my mind that neither of the contract ing parties in concluding the treaty of 1880 contemplated the passage of an act prohibiting immigration for twenty years, which is nearly a Uen eration, or thought such period would be reasonable suspension or limitation, or intended to cha the

of the earth is bounded approxi-
mately by a circle, and mathemati.
clans divide all circles into 800 de-
grees. Hence, if we can measure
accurately the 1850 part of this
great circle, and if, when we have
got that measure out into miles, we
multiply 1t by $50, we get the cir
cumterence of the earth, that is to
say, the whole distance round it..
Then by dividing this result some
thing a little over 3 Is -14l6. the ra-
ito OF the circumference OF the cir
Gle to its diameter) we find out how
tar 1t is from one side of the earth to
the other.
This gives US. the diameter of the
earth. AS a result OF long series
OF observations, it has been found out
that degree measures as near as
possible on the average CO., miles.
~ O"h w otoCSO III lHcueS, OuG IL is

ment of result that it is about 69J
miles; and if you take the trouble to
multiply 699 miles, the average
length of one degree, by 800 degrees,
the number OF degrees that there are
all round the earth, you will find
that the circumference is something
like $4,000 miles, and therefore that
the diameter Of the eartl is some.
thing like 5000 miles. Mark well
the words con the average" In
truth, the earth is hattened at the
poles, so that the length of the de.
gree varies from the pole to the
equator, and hence the diameter in
the equatorial plane is in excess of
the diameter from pole to pole.
THESE two diameters, expressed in
feet, are as follows: Equatorial, A.
