tea. In other places the European mer-
chant can only buy his teas al the port

Ten drinkers should be grateful for
the interest the government is showing
in them. There have been 50, 900, 900
pounds of tea imported to New York
since the law requiring inspection went

The introduction 81 steam pipes into
enclosed spaces for the purpose OF ex-
tinguishing fires has been successfully
tried in Berlin. The owner Of q steel
pen factory in that city, in consequence
Of the repeated outbreak of fire IN the
dining-room, had steam pipes placed IN
three of the rooms, this appliance being
shut off by short, soldered pipes of an
easily flowing alloy Of lead and tin, ar
ranged to work automatically. One
day a kissing noise made the foreman
aware that one of these appliances had
been called into action. 1t was found,
on investigation, that the contents Of the
drying-roonl had become ignited, but
| that thessteam thus set free had extln-
guished the fire before it could spread.
In six years Henry M. Stanley has
succeeded in establishing q chain OF
international stations across the African
continent. In 1880 he. founded Viva,
the first Of the series Of stations in
Western Africa. Before the end OF
the third year Leopoldville, q station
on Stanley Pool, at the head Of the
lower cataracts, and the key of Upper
| Congo, was founded, and feHT steamers
were launched on the great river. In
1883 the station Of Stanley Falls, 1000
miles up the river, was founded. About
1000 miles Of river transit of the Congo
and it's tributaries are open to commerce
by this chain of stations. The imports
to the West Coast of Africa last year
were over $22 100000, while the ex-
ports were over $27 100000.
