Walter C. Whipple,. a son OF Adju-
tant-General Whipple, OF General Han a
cocks staff, aged "a years, q student
at the University Medical College in
New York, fatally shot himself at his
boarding house, in East Twenty-third
street. He was about firing a third
shot when Mrs. Brengenann, who:
keeps the house, rushed in and wrested
the weapon from his hand. He fell to
the floor, and his broken conversation
showed him to beinsane. When asked
why he did it, he said: "Ask Christ.
Christ loves me; it's all right. Ask
me---nOt---in mOurnful numbers" He
soon died.
A great curiosity in the way of
watches was recently exhibited in &C.
neva. This wonder is nothing less
than a watch with one wheel, manu-
featured in Paris in the last century.
| This wheel which gives the watch its
name occupies the bottom Of the case
and the center OF the plate; it has six
| ty teeth, and is 33 nm. III diameter.
It's axis carries two pinions, one Of
which receives the motive force from a
barrel and the other carries the min
ute work. The function OF this great
wheel is quadruple. First, it acts on
a lift, then on a lever operating on an
other destined to lower the axis Of the
watch, and lastly on a third lever, the
latter serving to return power to the
great wheel at the moment when the
action relents by the risk of the axis.

which lifted g. part OF the roof of the
mill and broke almost all the windows.
There can be no doubt that the ma
jority OF dust explosions are, like mine
disasters, due to open lights, and as
this danger can be practically avoided
| by the use Of the incandescent electric
lights, there seems to be no valid rea-
son why it should not be introduced
more generally.
The population Of Stockholm in
creased between 1856 and 1854 from
100000 to 2O5,O00.
So far this year only 451 miles OF
new railroad have been constructed,
of which 43 per cent lie in two South

construction OF 1885 is about one
sixth of that of1sS2 III the correspond

The growth Of some OF the Southern
States is illustrated by the statement
