THE ChsuPs ABROAD,

The year 1854 is now certain to be a
year OF more than average crops. The
wheat crop for the United Kingdom is
estimated at IS, 100000 bushels As the
public requirement falls short of 2OO,-
oVo,ooo bushels, the home product
Will fall short only about 10000, 900
bushels OF the importations. The pro.
portion usually is about one.t third home
product and two.thirds importation. In
France the public requirement is 49,
oJoO00 hectolitres, of which the esti-
mated home product is 10000, 900 hecto-
Aters. The difference--25, 600, 900 hec-
toliters-equal to about $4,000, 600
bushels will be the demand of France
from other nations. Rye is the great
cereal crop Of Germany. Exact figures
are not yet given, but the crop is known
TO be good one. The wheat crop in
ustro.Hungary is medium, which means
an excess over last years crop. In some
parts OF Russia the crop has been below
the average, but in larger localities the
harvest has been bountiful. The United
States, Russia and India are the principal
wheat exporting countries. The require.
ment for France and England, it is said,
will not exceed 2OO,OoO,OOO bushels. The
wheat crop of the United States will
probably closely approach 100000, 900
bushels.

Not LIN ON Science.

He sat by the stove in a Michigan
avenue grocery store for full twenty
minutes before speaking. He spread
out his legs TO encircle as much of the
fire as possible, drew his sleeve across
his nose ut regular intervals. and there
was strong smell of burning boot
leather as he finally looked up at the
grocer and asked:
"Can you tell me why combustion
causes draught?"
mo, sirl" was the prompt reply.
"It's positively wonderful how ig-
norant the masses are on scientific sub
jects," continued the man AZ he helped
himself to an apple. "Can you tell me
why this isinglass in your stove Is not
consumed by the heat?"
Il guess it's because you keep all the
heat off, was the sneering reply.
"You are liar, sir, and you say that
to excuse your ignorance! Now, then,
what pressure does water exert ON the
human body at depth of sixty feet p
"Ill exert pressure on your body
if you call me q liar again." exclaimed
the grocer. What do you want here ?"
Il want to ask you if you'understand
the principle by which birds hy?"
"You get out of this have no time
to fool away with such nonsensel'
"Nonsense!' piped the old chap
"why, don't believe You know the
amount of oxygen you consume at each
respiration"
The grocer laid hold of tho man to
draw him to the door, but he caught a
Tartar and was Topped on his back.
II exerted force of about one-eighth
horsepower to accomplish that said
the old man as he knelt on the pros
trate body. "A dead blow of twenty
pounds from my fist would fatten your
nose. while two pounds additional
would crack your skull.
"Git off'n me or I'll slay you."
Il seize your hair with clutch equal
to the grasp of hand lifting fourteen
pounds of iron and / bump your head
on the floor with force equal to nine
pounds"
Let go my ha'r!" yelled the grocer
as he kicked and struggled.
you are now exercising q force
equal to eight pounds to the square
him again, "but it is useless. shall
now exercise force equal to the clutch
of forty-eight grasshoppers to shut of
your wind, and / will then administer a
kick equal to the force necessary to up
set o cord of four-foot wood"
When the grocer got up Sthe man
was across the street.
Police police" shouted the victim.
"You exhausted six gallons of oxygen
in the first yell and five in the second,
called the scientist, "but it was simply
wasted. / will now make off ut one
quarter the speed exercised by an ante
lope in outrunning lion. Good-by,

Railroads Up Mountains.

America is. the scene Of many nota-
bic railway enterprises. We have such
diversity of surface that great en-
gineering difficulties have to be over
come which are not thought of in other
countries. One of the most difficult
feats is to get to the top of a mountain
in steam-car. This has been accom-
plished frequently, however, by differ
emit devices. At Mount Washington
the railway climbs the uprise, advanc-
ing forward like eat climbing tree
The iron clamps or claws are advanced
and the train of cars Is pulled up by
main force. 1t is novel sensation to
ascend Mount Washington, while the
descent seems still more perilous. At
Central City, Colo, a different method
obtains. The cars move forward, then
backward, but each change switches
them of to q higher elevation. After
plying to and fro like q bobbin in q
weaver's loom, the cars at length reach
the top of the mountain. 1t is now
proposed to build q railroad to the top
Of Pixies Peak, the summit of which Il
Ia, 900 feet above the level of the sea
that is, 5000 feet higher than
Mount Washington. In this case the
road viii run around the mountain, in
