s writer in the London Journal of
Science dwells upon the advantages af-
ferded in Germany to technical education
and asserts that Chemnitz has already
undermined the glove trade of Noting
ham, and that in the opinion of many
the hosiery interests of the same town
are being slowly undermined. The in
habitants of Chemnitz cannot compare
either mentally or physically with those
sof the English manufacturing centre,
but they have far superior eductional adj
vantages. In Boon there is quite an En-
glish town s~srissing up, inhabited al
most entirely by English families who
reside there for the purpose of giving
their children q practical education.

In the United States there are seventy
ne railroads which report an average III
earnings during August offs per cent.
over the earnings of the corresponding
month in 1882. This is significant from the
fact that the August railroad earnings OF
1882 gave a total of 10 per cent. increase
V e those Of 1881, % per cent. over
those Of 1880, and 81 pei cent. over
those orlS79. Thus for the four years
the increase of August earnings has
been 80 per cent.

The trial ofO'Donnell, the slayer ofCa-
rey, is likely to be a notable one, for
length at least. The fact Of a criminal
being tried al a place as far from the
scene of his crime is an unusual one,
except in the cases of mutineers an"
murderer at sea. Those who svmpa-
thize with O'Donnell and the number is
a large enc, are trying to u the ser
vices of Charles Russell, NJ. P, to take
charge of the defense. They are san
guine of acqUittal if only eminent coun
sci can be obtained. 1t is doubtful
ifO'Donnell can escape.

1t was also asserted that diphtheria
was increasing slightly but steadily III
the North Atlantic and eastern cities;
It is about equally prevalent in this

cent, of all deaths; malarial .~feyers %;
scarlet fever Is; pneumonia 3. 4; mea-

Official inquiry has now apparently
well establishedt that one hundred thous-
and lives were lost by the recent earth
quake and volcanic eruptions in Java.
History does not record an equally cal
amitous conyulsion of nature. The
earthquake Of Lisbon on November /,
100, caused the death of thirty thous-
a persons; and che great earthquake
that occurred in Sicily in 1893 killed just
double that number. Another formid
able earthquake was that Of IRsiiobamba
IN 1877, which swallowed up fully forty
Thousand human beings, and the NOR.
