The criminal classes in London may or
may not be proportionately as numerous
as those of Paris But brutal as the class is,
it is yet true that there are not half the
murders among the 5000. 600 of that city
that there are among the 10000 of this,
and murderer rarely escapes arrest and
punishment OF those who have com
mitted murders on English railway trains
not one has escaped detection. Murders
of the same class in France have been
twice as numerous during the last twenty
years. and few Of the perpetrators have
been discovered. There must be reasons
for this which inhers in the police systems
of the two countries.
In London the preservation Of order is
intrusted to a uniformed force, supple
mented by a secret service that assists in
ferreting out mysterious crime. There is
no general system of espionage. In Paris
there are the uniformed police agents
whom one sees every where, and an army
of police spies whose numbers can never
be known, but who must be legion, and
whose place is everywhere. There are
also the gems d'arms, who are a sort OF po-
lice soldiery who perform special duty,
and can be called on in an emergency

Professors Ayrton and Perry, English
electricians. have accidentally observed that
on amalgamatsOn, or coating with quick
silver, brassS expands, so that if one side
only is amalgamated a plate of brass be-
comes curved. They imagine that this may
be the primary cause Of the phenomena Of
the Japanese magic mirror" which has
cast on its back pattern that is quite in
visible on the polished face, yet is mysteri-
Ously distinct in the patch of light reflected
by mirror upon a screen. Amalgamation
would affect the thinner parts made by the
pattern more than the rest of the plate,
giving the mirror the imporceptible uneven
ness that becomes plainly apparent in the
reflected image.

The Gray Squirrel VIII Probably Survive.

But if Professor Cunning should he
right that with II few exceptions the flora
of this planet will ultimately be reduced
to garden plants and the fauna TO barn
yard pets the few exceptions will probably
include the American gray squirrel. In
some way or other natural selection has
insured its survival by probably decisive
safeguards. 1t can run, it can climb, il
can swim and it can almost fly, for it can
not be killed by fall In its tree bur
rows it can survive the hardest winter. II
nuts should fail il can subsist on buds,
seeds and birds eggs. In spite of inces-
SAINT hunting it has thus survived in every
county of every forest state i'll the union,
and would possibly survive the entire ex-
tirpation of forest trees, FOR it is probable
that the prairie dog is nothing but modi.
