number of arrests has fallen of, and drunk
enness has decreased in the large cities by
30 per cent There is also an improvement
in the quality of men who keep the saloons
for the business has grown to be more de-
cent and respectable, so that even those who
sell liquor acknowledge that the law is
working benefcially.
The report from Cairo is that disorder
ly conduct and arrests have decreased not
less than so per cent" from Quincy, that
. it has materially lessened the Police
Court cases for drunkenness :" from Spring
field, that the number of arrests has di-
minished over 10 per cent" From the
rural counties equally favorable reports are
sent.
The taxes of the communities are lessen
ed, and their expenses for maintaining
public order are decreased. The liquor
business gets into the hands of better men,
whose interests induce them to assist in en-
forcing the laws, and both those who drink
and those who refrain are better served and

CALCULATING MAcHINE.-Says the New
York Stss:: The calculating machine, in
vented by Professor Thompson, appears to
excel, in its ingenious adaptation to vari-
ETY. of results, even Babbage's wonderful
apparatus. By the means of the mere
friction of disk, a cylinder and ball. the
machine is capable of effecting numerous
complicated calculations which occur in
the highest application of mathematics to
physical problems, and by its aid an I'M
skilled person may, in given time, perform
the work of ten expert mathematicians
The machine is applicable alike to the cal
culating of tidal, magnetic, meteorological
and other periodic phenomena it will
solve differential equations of the second or
even higher powers or orders, and through
this same wonderful arrangement of me-
chanical parts. the problem Of finding the
free motion of any number of mutually
attracting particles, unrestricted by any of
the approximate suppositions required in
the treatment of the lunar and planetary
theories, is done by simply turning a
handle"

BITS OF SCIENCE.

At the late meeting of the French Asso-
citation at Grenoble, after long discussion
the opinion was almost unanimously ex-
pressed " that there can no longer be a
doubt OF the existence in the tertiary period
OF an ancestral form of man."
A new alloy, combination of manga
nese and tin, has been introduced as suit
able for bearings in which shafting is
required to run at a high speed, and for
other articles for which high degree of
tenacity and great closeness of grain are
required.
An association for the protection of wild
plants has been organized in Geneva The
projectors state that they will cultivate the
Alpine varieties, and sell them at such
prices that it will not be worth any ones
while to dig up the wild plants, which are
being rapidly exterminated by botanists,
collectors and tourists.
Frobach has discovered q method of
making sugar without crushing or press
ing the canes. The cane is cut into
strips, and the water is extracted
by alcoholic yapor, which leaves
the saccharine to be dissolved into
liquid. The alcohol and sugar are filtered
out by means of lime and chalk 1t is
claimed that this process of manufacture
will add one-third to the production over
and above any process now in use.
This is the Bruce system of balloon sig
mailing: An ordinary balloon of very trans
lucent material is employed In the
inside of the balloon electric. glow
lamps are arranged. The balloon is a
captive one, and the rope which attaches
it to the earth is utilized for the support
of wires to convey the electricity to the
lamps. When the balloon is sent up at
night the lamps are caused to illuminate
the balloon at intervals of longer or shorter
duration, so as to present signals to the
distant observer, in accordance with the
Morse alphabet.
NJ. de Parviile has published paper on
the presence of bacteria in the air we
breathe. He says that the proportion of
bacteria in a cubic meter is six in sea air,
one in the air of high mountain, sixty in
the principal cabin of ship at sea, 200 in
the air at the top of the Pantheon in Paris.
$50 in the Rue de Rivol of Paris, 5000 in
the Partisan sewers, 36, 900 in the old Paris

the Hotel Dieu, of Paris, and 10000 in the
old hospital of Pitie in Paris In RYDER

air contains only 240 bacteria, whereas in
the Rue de Rivoli the same quantity of air
contains $50.

In THE LAND OF THE KAzH-The Afghan
women, of whom we saw perhaps a dozen,
wore no bonnets, but simply a long vail of
gauzy stuff. Look at them in the right
way and they are pretty. Their counte-
nances have Jewish cast, but they are not
bruneties. Their skin is pale strikingly
so, and they wear their hair tied over a
ball, so as to make them look more than
naturally white. They walk remarkably
well and in the management of their walls
display much grace and elegance. OF the
men | may as well say that they are not
unlike what cross between a Hindoo and
a Persian would be. Athletic, fair and
weIl-bearded, they have aquiline faces
with the foreheads shaved, and the hair on
the sides hanging in curls that fall over the
shoulders in a picturesque, shaggy, man
like way. Their carriage is full of resolu-
ton and pride, and from one corner of the
country to another you cannot but remark
that they remind you of bantam ROSTERS.

FEATHER TRIMMIYGs.-The new, graceful
and airy feather trimmings are two and
three inches wide, in bands of black, wine
color, two shades of green, two of olive, two
blue in dark shades, and charming evening
hnts of rose. light blue and white. The
tringes are five inches deep, of ostrich in
the shape of tails in some shades, others in
mingled colors, as wine and white amber
and white, two olive tints or olive and chin
chilla. In other fantastic styles the feath-
ers lie in reverse oYerlaid with small plu-
mage of fowls. There are thick rich ruches
Of green gold feathers standing out in high
relief from the stem. Others for ball cos
tunes are III d6wny pink, white and blue,
light as thistle down. Another exquisite
style, of band of creamy white, resembles
the softest and finest fur. Dark, lustrous
feathers lie overlapping with their points
raised, intersparsed at regular distances
with curly, delicate brown gossamer tips of
great beauty. This is duplicated in mix
ture of softest dark garnet and sea green
blended in irregular patches.-[Philadel-

THE LARGEST SEWER IN THE WORLD.
There is being built in Washington CITY a
sewer which is larger by seven feet than
any other sewer in the world. In its small
est part it is larger than the largest of the
sewers in Paris. For over 1000 feet it is a
circular sewer of % feet in diameter. There
is connected with it a sewer 5000 feet, or
nearly one mile in length, of 20 feet in d.
ameter. A fully equipped palace car, loco
motive and all, could be run through it
without difficulty. This enormous sewer
is intended to drain the immense water
shed lying to the north of the city. Be-
sides that it viii carry to the eastern branch
of the Potomac all the contents of the
smaller system of sewers in the northern
part of the city. 1t will take probably a
year to complete the work The Boundary
street sewer, with its connecting systems,
will cost when completed over 100000.
At present the excavation is made by ma
chinery operated by steam power, which
lifts the dirt out and lands it on the com
pleted part of the work by means of a sys-

Ex-sENAroR SHARON.

The death of ex-senator Sharon was the
matter chiefly discussed during the week.
During the period of his health and con-
stantly increasing financial prosperity
there were few indeed, outside of those de-
pendent upon him, who sang his praises
If he did much good with his enormous
wealth it was performed with the right
hand so that the other should be left ignorant
of the act, and your correspondent is fully
familiar with this subject. There is no
doubt that the dying man performed many
acts of charity-his devotion to his bene-
factor, the late W. C. Ralston, when the
hands Of ali his former friends were Philis-
tinically turned against him, on that dread
full day in August, 1875, proves that. But,
Comparatively, he never looked after his
less fortunate contemporaries as do Senator
Jones and John W Mackav.
There are no other wealthy men in this
city whose riches are so greatly Underesti
mated as those OF Senator Sharon. His
possessions are now valued at about SS,
100000, but his will will show that his
estate foots up nearer S1S,000,000 than the
former sum. There is only one man IA
miliar with the approximate value of his
wealth, and that is his private secretary,
who has been in his confidential service
nearly sixteen years. The woman claim
ing to be Mr. Sharon's wife, who
purposed appearing at the Baldwin Theater
soon, has temporarily relinquished her in
tention, and it is believed that she will
now appear on the streets, making dis
graceful exhibition of herself attired in the
deepest of deep mourning. That this
woman will receive enough to keep her for
life, now that Mr. Sharon is dead, is not
doubted by her bitterest foe. Of course
the divorce suit is virtually ended but she
may be able TO contest the will until
great portion OF the estate becomes absorbed
by litigation. The impression prevails that
she can be bought off with two or three
hundred thousand dollars and that, in the
face of the promise exacted by her alleged
husband mot 10 settle with her upon any
basis, the heirs will find il not only profit
able, but expedient in many ways, to COM
