THE second volume of the census on
manufactures is full Of interesting fig
ure. 1t shows among other thing that
the steam power of the country far out
runs its water power. Out of 3,41O,S37
horse power in all employed in manu-
iactures, onl Y one-thTd consists of water
power. These figures would be still
more one-siled if the power of grist and
saw mills was excluded. These kind of
mills are chiefly driven by water power
and they are not considered as strict y
manufacturing esta blishments. In manu-
features proper steam power il probably
used four to one. Wherever coal can be
laid down at three dollars ton, water
power is no longer considered preferable,
no matter what the fall or quantity of it
may be. Steam is a better servant at
all times than water, and it is rapidly
supplanting it where the fuel supply is
not prohibitory.
In the grlst and saw mills Of Georgia
there are 36.655 horse power. but all tho
power does not add to the wealth of the
tate as much as does the horse power
lis d in our manufactures proper. We
use in this way 1896 horse power.
These are not immense figures when
compared with those of the great manu-
featuring states of the northeast; but
they show that Georgia leads in manu-
features all the other cotton states. Ten
ne see uses l4,379 horse power, Virginia
1925, North Carolira 1862, South
Carolina $500, Alabama 1850, Missis-
sippi 2,613, and Florida SOl.
Pennsylvania is the great manufactur-
ing state of the union, using 354, TIA
horse power; New York commences
next, using 2sOO99; Massachusetts with
279,ll4, follow closely after; Ohio has
1926 horse power, and little Con
nrcticut shows up with 1O4 552. Con
necticut is a marvskkaf manufacturing
industry TheEa only 100000 peO'
pie in the little hte, but she uses more
horse power than all the south, exc nd
ing Missouri, West Virginia, Maryland
and Delaware. The south has no reason
however, TO be discoDeged, for she has
only just entered upon an industria
career, and few years will be apt tc
change the relative figures very mate
rally. At present the three states
Pennsylvania, New Yo k and Massa
chuse.ts, use more horse power in manu-
factures than all the other states and thu
territories combined. d.-Attdnta Constitu

the subject in hand. He thought but
one course was practicable. He would
send a strong ship to get to the ice bar

make her way north rs she could. If by
the last of August or early in September
Mr.. Greedy had not been reached n

landed for the winter, when tine vessel
should come south. The winter party
should send expeditions north TO find
Greedy and relieve him. He should be
brought south in the spring to some
point to be agreed upon before the ship
left. Lieutenant Ray described the
methods of the sledge travel, in which
he has had much experience, aud de-
scribed the whaling vessels and their
equipments, of the Northern Pacific.
After describing his method of life at
Point Barrow he said that in his party
of nine men during the first year and
eleven during the second there had not
been moments sickness from begin

ture was 7, the mean winter tempera-
ture about 20. The lowest extreme
was 5S. The men were required, in
addition to their regular duties, to spend
one hour out of twenty.four in the open

telling Jokes and anecdotes. Among
them was also cranky individual who
positively refused to enjoy the fun, and
after each yarn he would remark;
"rhat's nothing new. l heard that
years ago."
"Did you ever hear the anecdote about
George Washington and the railroad

"Why, certainly" remarked the

Mr. A. M q. SEBILLor proposes to
construct steamer which wi make the
trip between New York and Europe in
four days. The vessel will have virtu-
ally two hulls, lower and upper the
lower in the center to be deep, long,
narrow, and at the bows very sharp, re-
ducing the angle forward by the line of
the bows where they cut the water with
the line of the vessels motion from one
of fifteen degre s, as now, to even three
degrees. When the vessel is deeply
laden it will barely rest upon the water.
The calculations show that steamer so
constructed could obtain a speed of pos
sib y thirty-fve knots an hour, and ut
that rate four days would be sufficient
for passage in calm water from New
York to Europe in four days. If Mr..
Sebillot makes a success, it is probable
that passenger steamers will be built
after the new fashion, while the old style
steamers will be devoted to the freight
traffic.

A NUMBER of New York capitalists
have recently organized stock COM
pany for the purpose of advancing the
cause of cremation in New York city
and its vicinity. 1t is proposed to con-
structa crematory in Riverside avenue,
rorth of One Hundred and Fourteenth
street. The plan of the furnace will diff.
ter materially from that of lie Moyne's
crematory at Washington, Pa. The
movement has its origin in belief that
the desire to be cremated is more pop
ul,r than is usually supposed, and
steadily growing, and furthermore, that
ultimately cremation will become a sani-
tary necessity in New York and all large
cities. 1t is asserted that by the Teth-
cd of cremation the ashes of an ordinary
human body can be reduced by compress
sion to the size CT small apple or
turnip.
