Oh no. the members of the Tariff Commits
sion don't starve. They are not that kind OF
men. And, besides, nobody whose expenses
are paid by the government was ever known
to lack a sufficient supply for the inner
man. This supply becomes luxurious when
the government places o fixed allowance for
expenses, but just settles the bills. and that's
the way the members Of the Tariff Commits
sion have been living since they went to
work" To cite an example: One of thu
Commissioners was in the city few days ago.

Bat the event Of the evening was the
reading Of some OF lsis humorous sketches
=by "Mark Twain" himself. He said it
was the first time lie ever read any of his
own writings to an audience, and did SO
only at onr urgent request. We thought
we had thoroughly appreciated the rare
hrmor embodied i'll the rassa yes he read
aloud, IL score of times before, but we
had never till now heard Mark Twain :"
read aud cal, i,.st describe tn you how
it seemed, like uneovering a Golfer where
in lay priceless jewels and rich treasure
never truly revealed to us before.
Mr.. Clemens leaves to-day, taking with
him-he is kind enough to say-many
pleasant and abiding memories of the
Crescent City and she new friends lie has
made. Our lasting regret will be that
he did not lecture, at least once, while
here. The New Orleanians are, unfortu-
nately, not a ;lecture-loving people, and
actually did not invite him, l learn, to
address them. What an oversight! And
believe he would have enjoyed lectur-
ing to new audience, and would have
assented. Well, enjoyed rare pri>i-
lege, anyhow, and actually feel very
sorry for a whole "cityful" who did not
make the acquaintance of" Mark Twain"

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A peculiar and newly observed prop
erty Of tin is being investigated by q
| Moscow scientist. Some tin cans kept in
one Of the Government buildings during
| the cold weather showed blsters, then
holes, and finally fel! to powder.
Insects, caterpillars and larvae are not
destroyed-as is often belieyed-by in
tense cold Or heavy frosts. After an ex-
| posture to q temperature Of eleven de
grees below zero the common caterpil-
lar has revived on the return Of sufficient
| warmth.
DR.. Wollaston's observation that Ger
| tain sounds are inandibie to many ears
was recently illustrated by Prof. Tyn
dali. During 4 lecture he blew a small
whistle, the low, shriIl note Of which in
stantly agitated the sensitive flame,
while full half Of the audience failed to
hear the sound.
The theoretic work obtained from the
consumption Of All ounce Of various sub
stances is thus stated by Prof. Sylvanus
Thompson. One ounce Of hydrogen gives
1925, 600 foot pounds; Of coal, G9o,Oc0
foot pounds; zinc, 10000 foot pounds
gnnpowder, 100000 foot pounds; and
copper, 50, 600 foot pounds.
Prof. Fairchild thinks there are rea-
sons for believing that the common
honse fly, with its numerous lenses,
capable Of change Of focus like the
human eye, can avoid the difficulties we
encounter il microscopes, and may dis
tinctly recognize objects only twenty
millionth Of an inch III diameter.
The path Of destruction Of American
tornadoes has averaged 1885 feet i'll
width, according to Sergeant Finley.
The storm cloud moves at the rate Of
twelve to sixty miles All hour, while the
wind within the vortex sometimes
reaches the tremendous velocity Of 300
miles an hour-392 miles being the aver
age.
In concludinga course Of lectures upon
the "Ancient World and the Appear
ance Of Man," Prof Boyd Dawkins said
that a study of the past had shown that
Continued struggles with nature had de-
veloped mans powers until lie had
reached his present condition.; and it
was his belief that i'll coming ages man
would be elevated as far above the level
of culture Of to- day as we are advanced
from the state Of savagery of the prime
val man.
Prof. Foote Of Philadelphia has
group of quartz crystals measuring about
four feet by three i'll superficial area. A
group in the University Of Naples weighs
| nearly halt Il ton. A crystal at Milan is
three and quarter feet long and five
| and u half in circumference, and weighs
$40 pounds; and another crystal, ut
Paris, is three feet in diameter and the
| same in length, weighing 300 pounds.
Fifty tons of crystals were discovered in
one cavity at Zinken, more than CEN
fury ago, and were sold for $500, 600.

There was great force and sweetness in
his remarks, which were doubly appre-
ciated from the fact that he is Northern
man. The selection recited was one Of
Father Ryan's poems, "The Blue and
tie Gray" Then lie spoke of the strong
sympathy existing now between the
Nortl, and the South, and its steadily
increasing growth. The annual address
by Hon. S. II. Robertson was very appro-
pirate and touching.
Hope, don't dare tell you of tlse im-
provements, for half the people outside
oar town don't believe ns when we talk
Of them. They can't imagine that such
energy, action anl spirit Of progression
can be developed SO suddenly. But see
ing is believing, and any one who visits
our town can see the change. We go
walking every day SO as to see things
assume a different shape gradually. l

a week, she would need a guide for fear
Of getting lost, il going up town, for a
