Chinese Competitive Examin alton.
TBlackwood's Ma1azine1

From first to last IL is all ire
mendous effort of memory, each stu
dent, as he enters his cell, being
searched to make sure that he has not
concealed any scrap of paper on which
he might have jotted helpful notes,
or, worse than all, a miniature edition
of any part of the classics. Each man
may bring his own Indian ink and
brushes, but he may bring no paper. To
prevent all possibility of fraud; he must
at the last moment, and at an exorbi-
tant price, purchase paper which has
been stamped with the official seal.
Provided with this he enters the cell,
and then only is the subject of examina-
ton announced. ....
These subjects are all themes from
the fossilized Confuc'an classics, or
essays on the history of China, its laws,
its rites and ceremonies. At ore of the
examinations each man is required to
write poem of twelve lines. Happily
for the examiners the length of the
essays is limited-720 characters being
the maximum and $50 the minimum
necessary corrections being provided
for, in the allowance of 100 characters,
which may be marked on the margin.
The greatest stress is laid upon excel
lent handwriting, and as a highly edu-
Gated Chinaman is expected to be famil.
iar with six different styles of writing,
he has a somewhat perplexing choice.

Drying Up the Zuyder Zee.
[chicagc Tribune. ]

The project of drying up the huge
Zuyder Zee Is again being urged with
some vehenence. A ''State Socialist"
argument is now freely used; it is said
that the gigantic task will find rich en-
ployment for the Dutch working class
population for many years, among
whom social democracy is increasing.
The provinces of Utrecht, Gelderland and
Groningen, and most of the municipal
ties whose cities and towns lie upon the
sea, have given their adhesion to the
scheme, and have empowered commits
sion of experts to report on the probable
cost. ~ 4 t
On the other hand, few of the
towns, including Monnikendam and
others, protest eagerly against the
scheme, since its execution must in
fallibly convert them into truly dead
cities" If the sea should ultimately be
turned into dry land the kingdom of
Holland will be enlarged ty the addition
of new province twice the size of the
province of Utrecht. The new country
has been already provided by anticipa-
ton with the name of "Wiltemsland."

Origin OF salutations.
lBrOOklyn E'x.el

Solicitations is some countries have
7ery dissimilar characteristics, and it
may not be uninteresting to explain
lew of them. Most of our own gestures
Of salutation and civility owe their
origin to the warfare of the days Of
.hivalry, indicating Difference, as from
one conquered to the conqueror. The
head movement was simply the hand
lnarmed; the helmen being removed,
he party was at his mercy. The hand
ungloved was in like manner the hand
ungauntleted. Shaking hands was a
token of truce, in which the parties
took hold of each other wea2 IN hand
to make sure against treacheiy. We
consider it an incivility to shake hands
with gloves on, and it is contrary to the
etiquette of the European courts to
wear gloves in the presence OF the
queens.
A gentleman's bow is but the offer of
the neck to the stroke of his adversary;
md the lady's courtesy is but the form
Of going on her knees for mercy. The
theory of firing salute is that
it leaves the gun harmless and at the
mercy of the other party; and this is so
true that firing salutes with blank
cartridges is modern innovation--oc
casioned, however, by the fact of com,

meant to honor. When an officer

designated presenting arms"-that is
presenting them to be taken.

Tho most ambitious project yet

Universal motor is at present under con-
liberation at Quebec. 1t has its origin
IN the successful use already made Of
Aontmorency falls as the source OF
bower for lighting Dufferin terrace by
Electricity. 1t Is now proposed to put
he famous waterfall at work not only
% run short electric railway, but to
6rnish electric power supersedng steam
n all the factories and workshops of
quebec
The utilization of natural waterfalls
Tor this purpose is already known to be
entirely practicable. One of the first
electric railways built as a business en-.
ITQprise was that at Portrush, opened
'y Lord Spencer some years ago. II
derived its energy from q neighboring
nwater fall. Near Grenoble a similar
Experiment was made, the waterfall
Obeing made to work q printing-press, q
'sapd-mill, and other machinery in the
lefty. These, however, were small affairs
compared with the scheme now pro-
!posed in Quebec. Should that be sue,
'cessful, great waterfalls would acquire
value besides that of their picturesque
ress, and the practical man would no
longer lose his enjoyment OF their
beauty in his regret over the amount
of power allowed to 60 to waste.
Some other very interesting expert
ments in the use of electricity as a
motor are soon to be practically tested
In New York city experiments are un-
der way to use electricity instead of
steam on the elevated roads. What is
called the Daft motor Is to be en-
ployed. philadelphia expects to have
an electric railway under operation
within very short period. Electric
railways have been established for
years, on small scale, in Germany,
Austria, Belgium, and elsewhere, and
electric omnibuses and boats have been
used in Paris and Vienna Toronto,
also, put in operation last month an
electric railway about mile long, to
carry passengers to and from the neigh
boring fair grounds. But the question
of questions still to be solved is the
cost of electricity compared with steam

What the Crows Feet Mean.

M. Mantegazza, an Italian scientist,

in keeping these tell-tale lines off long
after they were due by means OF

IT'S Use In England in Reaching the Light
ships-successful Experiments.

-
ships-suecessful Experiments.
Boston Herald.l
An experiment of the greatest i'm
portance to the commercial world is
now being made on the east coast Of
England by the Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance company. For the
last eight months the company has had
several of its best operatives located
in the neighborhood of the Maze, of
which the most dangerous sands round
England are to be found. These
gentlemen are hourly in communica-
| ton by telephone with a lightship
which is anchored ten miles out,
in the vicinity of the Swim passage. An
ordinary telegraph cable has been laid
| from Walton on the Maze to the Sunk
lightship, and telephone and telegraphic
apparatus have been affixed to both
ends. -
II was considered improbable that the
human voice would be conducted ten
miles, especially in rough weather, but
this has been now proved to be thor
oughly practicable. A conversation
was carried on with Mr.. Stevenson, one
of the Telegraphic Maintenance com
pany's officials (who was on board the
Sunk lightshipJ, by telephone for con
siderable time. Mr.. Stevenson had
been month upon the boat,
and had experienced all kinds OF
weather, during which time he had
kept Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Pinkerton, his
colleagues on shore, fully informed Of
the state of the weather, roughness Of
the sea and passing craft, adding fire.
quently forecasts of weather which
usually turned out to be correct. A
month on the lightship is trying or
deal, but Mr.. Stevens was so satisfied
with the success that attended the ex-
pertinent, and knowing, if the advan-
tage of telephone communication with
lightships was understood and generally
adopted, what splendid boon it would
be to mariners and merchants, that he
spent his time busily in collecting in.
formation and watching the working of
his electrical machines.
In back room of the Walton postof-
fee are machines for utilizing magnetic
currents of all descriptions. A button
is touched, which rings a bell in Mr..
| Stevenson's cabin upon the Sunk light
ship, ten miles away, then voice-that
of Mr.. Stevenson--is heard inquiring
what is wanted. ''How is the wind2
"How is the tide2" ''Have you seer
such and such a ship pass" SHOW
much water is there in the Swim pas
sage" These questions can be answered
at once. Or the following is trans
mitted: "Signal such and such ship
that she is to put in at Harwich. =
Every ship passing is duly signalled
and her name and description telephonet
to the Walton postoffice. On an average
ninety ships pass in the day, and if was
known that messages could be sen
ashore no doubt the majority of thes'
would avail themselves OF the benefit
A considerable number of the ship
passing have come great distance with
out passing one of Lloyd's signalling
stations. The signalling of these pass
ing the Sunk lightship would be o
great commercial value, as their tint
, of arrival at any port they were bounC
for could be timed by the owners il
London accurately, and everything
could be made ready for the landing
, and sale of the cargo.

The Henry Clay bouquet Holder.

At the marriage of Mary Eleanor

Henry Clay stepped forward, and with
q rare grace presented the bride with a

When Mrs. Sherman's third daughter
was married, thirty years later, to

was carried in the Henry Clay holder.
At the latter wedding Senator Blaine
gave set of silver FISH knives and
forks, with his card, on which was
written: For the daughter, with as
