The Union street railway line of
Baltimore has introduced in one of
its cars 4 new contrivance for re
ceiving and depositing fares. 1t
consists of two brass rods connected
with the fare-box at the front of the
ear, and extending along the sides
of the car to the rear. At intervals
along these rods are diminutive fare
boxes, into which passengers can
drop their nickles without leaving
their seats. The fare thus deposited
drops into a groove in the rod, which
IS sufficiently inclined to give the
coin an impetus that sends it rolling
down into the fare-box in the front
of the car.

THE SUN
NEW YORK. 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umnS of all The sun printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip or interesting
IntOrmatlOn common sense wisdom, SOUND
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COperniCuS in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But The sun is written for the Inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe tWenty-seYen or
twenty eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over 1t,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has at
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions Of
American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
/ is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be-
/ Heves that the Republican party must go and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know TIE sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
! know THE Sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.

regions of this southwestern section of the
state for the support of the dairy. The rich,
luxuriant native prairie grasses furnish not
only splendid pasturage, upon which the
cattle feed with the greatest relish, but the
quantity of the milk produced from herd of
a given number of COWS, surpasses that of
those pastured on the finest of tame grasses,
while the quality of the butter and cheese is
of most superior degree of excellence.
Vast quantities Of hay are annually cut
and pressed for shipment, while
enormous quantities stand uncut
with each successive season.
MINERAL RESOURCES.
The formation at and near Mankota is sub
ject full of the deepest interest to geologists
and of vast importance TO the city, as in the
different stratas are contained the elements
of enormous wealth which are to be found at
no other point in Minnesota or the north
west.
The most thorough, careful and painstak-
ing researches continued for years have
failed to discover in this vicinity any cvi.

which marks their presence elsewhere do not
exist here, and we are compelled to believe
that the glacial period must have been omit
ted for the purpose of leaving the formation
pure and free from foreign substances that it
might be made available for means use.
The formation may be termed slower siluri-
am with each strata as before stated free
from all impurities. Its rock clays and sand
form the chief elements OF value.
MANKATo STONE.
The rock formation at Mankato has thus
far been utilized for three distinct purposes,
Wis : for building and bridge stone, for burn
ing lime and latterly for the manufac-
ure of cement. The building
and bridge stone which the
quarries north of the city and partially within
its limits contains is in exhaustible in amount
and of superior quality to any stone found
anywhere in Minnesota or the northwest for
building or bridge purposes. The following
table prepared by W. B. Craig & Co., de-
scriptive of the several kinds of rock which
their Empire ledge contains, will be found
accurate:

$4,000. The buildings consist of ware
house 50x250, cement mill, 40xS0, engine
and boiler room, 40x40, cooper shop, 40x125,
all two stories high, beside office, blacksmith
shop, room for twisting engine, etc. The
kilns, five in number, have an aggregate ca
pacity of 1000 bbls. per day while the mill
has capacity for 1,50O barrels. The motive
power is furnished bv an engine of 200-horse
power, and the fuel is deposited at the side
of the kiln from the side tracks of the differ
ent roads which enter their yard. The prac-
ticJl tests in quantities have fully equaled
expectations of the company who began to
manufacture towards the close of last sum
mer, and the coming year will see lively
times at the cement works. The following
chemical analysis, made by Prof. E. T. Cox,
state geologist of Indiana, and competent
analytical chemist, assisted by some English
gentlemen of six different brands of cements,
including FIVE Portland cements of English
and German manufacture, and the Mankato
cement is herewith presented:

100. 1Oo. 100. 100. 1Oo.I 100.

A careful inspection of this table will
show that the Mankato ground stone cement
compares very favorably with the best made
Portland cements, possessing but 55-1OO
per cent. of the worthless substances while
it has an average of essential parts equal to
the best of the cements With which it is
combared. The recent test at the Office of
Burnham, Burr & Co., who handle cement,

the city testing apparatus with a briquette

REUNION.
4 Family Brought Together After z
Separation Of Twenty Years.

Quite an affecting scene was Wit.
messed q few days ago q. No. 81
South Halsted street. Chicago, where
Henry Schoen resides and keeps a
saloon. what took place there being
the finale of q story dating back
nearly twenty years. In 1866 q Hun
garian named Henry Friedman came
to this country with his two sons.
Jacob. aged Is. and Joseph aged Is.
Two years later he returned 70 his
wife in the old country, their daugh.
ter having died there, but left his
boys with q friend in Chicago. They
swore TO him that they would always
remain together, but this oath was
forgotten as they grew older, aud
finally Joseph went to Detroit and
Jacob TO Alabama. Then the former
went west and wrote to his brother
advising him Of the fact, but Jacob
also changed his residences at that
time, and the two brothers Lost track
OF each other. Joe wandered over the
west and ultimately located in Ds-
kots, where he is in business now.
Last week it occurred to him to visit
Chicago in search of his brother,
whom he had endeavored in vain to
find by letter. He came and began
tour among the Hungarians, and a
few nights ago found himself in
Schoen's place. There be related
his story. and Sohoen's son promised
to join in the search the following
day. The two went to the theater
during the evening. and while they
we're there q young man who bad
heard the story in the saloon posted
off to q little candy-store on West
Chicago avenue and returned to
Echoen's place with an aged couple
who appeared to be an1iously ex-
pecting something. Then the young
man sent to the theater for Fried
man, and it was when the whole
party had been gathered together
that the affecting scene took place.
OF course, the old couple were the
parents of the wanderer from the
west. They had long supposed him
dead. The aged mothers joy go
overcame her that she tainted then
and there. The brother for whom
Joseph searched is engaged as a |
travelling salesman for u Chicago
jewelry house, and it was he who |
brought the old folks to America az |
ter the supposed death of Joseph

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE REPTILES

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE REPTILES
Reptiles are at present small and
dying race. They have seen their
best days. But in the great secondary
age, as Tennyson graphically puts it.
"a monstrous eft was of old the lord
and master of EARTH" At the begin
ming of that time the mammals had
not been developed at all; and even
at its close they we're but feeble folk.
represented only by weak oreatul es
like the smaller pouched animals Of
Australia and Tasmania. Accordingly,
during the secondary period, the rep
tiles had things everywhere pretty
much their own way, ruling over the
earth a. absolutely as man and the
mammals do now. Like all dominant
types for the time being. they eplit
up into many and various forms. In
the sea, they became huge padding
ensliosaurians; on the dry land, they
became great erect dinosaurians; in
the air, they became terrible flying
pterodactyls. For vast epoch they
inherited the earth; and then ct last
they began to fail, ia coLapetition
with their own more developed des-
cendsnts, the birds and mammals.
One by one they died out before the
lace OF the younger fauna. until at
last only few crocodiles and alli-
gators, q few great snakes, and few
big turtles. remain among the wee
skulking lizards and geckos to remind
Us of the enormous rePtilian types
that crowded the surface OF the liassic
oceans.
Long before the actual arrival of
true birds upon the scene, however,
sundry branches of the reptillan class
bad been gradually approximating 10
and ioreshadowfng the future flying
things. Indeed. one may soy that at
an early period the central reptilian |
stock, consisting OF the long, 1.-THE,
four-leRged forms like the lizards, still |
closely allied in shape to their primi-
tive newt-like and eel-like ancestors.
began to divide literally into sundry |
important branches. Some OF them
Loot their limbs and became ssrpents;
others acquired bony body-coverings
and became turtles; but the vast ms.
iority wento1 in one of two directions,
either a. fsh-like sea saurians, or az
bird-hke lsnd-saurians. It 10 With
ibis last division alone that We shall
have largely to deal in tracing out the

Pennington.

Mrs. Foster has just given a week to New
Jersey, speaking in Hackettstown, Lambertville,
Pennington, Washington, Jersey City, Camden
and Woodbury.; everywhere she met with large
and appreciative audiences. At Pennington the
Baptist church, which will hold twelve hundred,
was filed. The w. C. T. u, 40 strong,
marched in body to seats reserved in the centre
of the house, and received the "Chatauqua
salute " from the vast audience. Bless those
white ribbon women, bless those white ribbon
women" was the heartfelt utterance of Mrs.
Foster as she sat upon the platform and looked
into the faces of that earnest body of women.
Your corresponding secretary presided. The
different pastors took part in the opening exer-
cises. The Glee club of Reform club gave ex-
cellent music, and "the best of all God was
with u.s." For two hours Mrs. Foster held her
audience without break, listening to her grand
argument for constitutional prohibition. The
seed sown must take root and bring forth fruit.
Quite large number of lawyers were present,
and evinced by their earnest attention and APP
preciative applause that her argument was
thoroughly practicable.
The following evening the ladies of the w. C.
T. U. gave supper, fine affair, and cleared
$1,000.
Pennington is still all alive with temperance
furore; instead of decreasing, as some predicted,
it is increasing. May it go on and on, until
final victory shall be ours. Mrs. j. T. ELLIS.

The temperance sentiment here is intense.
By invitation of the Y. NJ C. A., Major Scott
devotes the next two weeks to Morristown and
one or two adjacent towns April 18th he
begins series of meetings in Boonton, to be
followed with several nights at Plainfeld His
time is filled to May. From this with the other
fact that temperance lecturers and workers are
continually busy in our state, one can see that
New Jersey is to-day the most active in the
temperance field. All along the lines the COM
mand to go Jor,oard is heard. Let the state be
thoroughly canvassed by speakers, and by
organizers, blue and red ribbon clubs be formed
temperance literature be scattered broadcast
and the able and fearless TEMPERANCE GAZETTE
be placed in every home, in every public read
ing room; were this to be done the Appomattox
of our hopes would soon be reached Then
millions of voices would blend ia one grand
diapason of victory, shout of joy would roll

would shout in rapturous acclaim-Thank God
