The result was that 200 clergymen, by ac-

nue. hotel, made their little speech on NOR
ais and were answered by the Plumed Knight.
Republican newspapers talk about the vast
outpouring, and say that over 1000 minis
ters met Mr.. Blaine. This is not true. The
whole number, as said before, by actual
count, was 206 when Mr.. Blaine made his
moral speech. The Republican newspapers
talk over 1000 is admitted to be bosh, and

grab at such stories, as a welcome

a SmokeleSs Engine.

There has been running on the
Eastern Railroad, between Boston
and Portland, for three weeks past,
Il locomotive engine that emits no
smoke. 1t is the invention of DR..
G. Holland, and the result of many
years Of experimenting. Its con-
struction is thus described Its
tender has a water tank somewhat
larger than the usual size, and
within this is a tank holding 900
gallons of crude naptha. This
and the water from the outer tank
are forced by a donkey pump
through small valves into four re-
torts under the boiler, and are there
decomposed, the oxygen of the
steam uniting with the carbon of
the oil at the great heat, and leav-
ing the hydrogen free. The fire
can attain its highest degree of
heat IN ten minutes from the time
it is lighted. The estimated cost
Of running the engine is SIX cents a
mile-a saving Of about fortv-fvc
per cent. on the cost of coal. The
oil is entirely consumed, and there
is no escape of smoke or cinders.

Life Lengthening.

Much is said about the degeneracy of our
age. 1t is thought that We have lost the
vigor and strength of our fathers and are
growing weak and sickly. But statistics,
carefully gathered, tell very different story.
The average size Of Englshmen is larger
than three centuries ago, for the armor worn
BY the knights OF that time cannot be put
on to-day save by small men. The average
duration of life is also longer. Accurate
registers have been kept in Geneva since
1860. The average of life was then only
twenty-five years and six months; it is now
over forty wears, or nearly double. In
France. four hundred years ago, the annual
mortality in Paris was one in sixteen; now
it is one in thirty-,wo, which shows about
the same ratio as in Geneva. In England,
two centuries ago. the annual mortality was
one in thirty-three; now it is one in forty
two.
Ii is pleasant to know that the world is
improving. and that the vigor and health OF
our race are gaining, instead Of declining.
