the crusaders. In 1166 the king of Sicily
gave the monks of st. Benedict's oloisper
a mill for expressing the Juice from the
cane and granted them the right OF
manufacture and sent them skilled work
men. In Germany, even as late q the
end of the seventeenth century, sugar
was so costly that only the wealthiest
families could afford to use 1t. In 1745

Reduction of the Fusing Temperature.
Among the other valuable properties
of aluminium the reduction of the fusing
temperature OF its alloys is notable. A
very small proportion, about 5-100 of ]
per cent. of aluminium, In the form of 7
or 8 per cent. aluminium alloy of cast
iron. is added to the charge about sixty
pounds) Of wrought iron in the crucibls
the moment this has been melted. The
fusing point is at once lowered some 500
degrees, and the charge, now an alloy Of
iron and aluminium, becomes extremely
fluid and can be cast in the finest molds,
while the great difference between its
temperature and its fusing point gives
all the time necessary for manipulating
it without danger of it so~lidifying. The
extreme fuidity Of the charge allows the
ready escape of the gases, which other
wise would make a porous casting. and
the result is a remarkably fine, solid, and
tough casting Of what appears to possess
the properties of wrought IRON Chicago

Washington society was, before the
war, under southern influences. The
wealthy men in high places here who
kept open houses and made friends f,r
themselves, and influenced new members
of congress and public opinion at large
by their Inequalities, were formerly,
with rare exceptions. southern men. The
south gained strength, as is well known
by sending to represent her people and
states men of distinction At home; men
OF education, wealth and social position,
and then by keeping them long in Office.
The north acted very generally upon the
theory Of rotation in Office" and her
representatives for the most part lived in
tho hotels and boarding houses; and
when they went into society, were pre-
ssnted to elegant ladies and Jared stump
tuously, it was at the houses Of the
southern members. This state Of affairs
for many years had an easily traced and
intellectually great influence. BEN. Per-

THE ouEEN-MorHER OF AhAM.

Details Of = Visit Paid Her by the
French Minister Resident ~
A correspondent OF The Temps gives
some highly curious and interesting de-
tails of the visit paid by the French resi-
dent to the queen-mother Of Anam.
She is blind. probably with cataract,
which is very prevalent among old peo-
pie there. In spite of her great age and
infirmities, her influence over the affairs
Of the nation is enormous. The king
obeys her most positively. The visit
was not an easy matter TO bring about,
.s, according to the custom Of the III
try, nc strangers are allowed to enter
that part Of the palace occupied by the
queen. NJ. Paul Bert was accompanied
by his wife (who, by-the-by, is a Scotch
LADY, and followed by a suite of twelve
persons I.I uU a'C '
On arriving at the gates of the palace
the French cortege was conducted
through a number of narrow paths
walled in on both sides. Here the SEN
tinels cease to be men, and are formed
Of old women dressed in queer costumes,
bearing scimitars sheathed in silver scab-
bards, who turned their faces to the wall
IN the sight Of the Europeans. Squads
Of eunuch and female f~unctionaries ad-
vanced, while weird music was heard in
the distance. AT length, after winding
and turning through a labyrinth of ave-
nues, the party reached a spacious court
yard, paved with marble. Fifty to sixty
women of all ages and in all sorts Of
dresses were there, some bearing para
soils and banners and others playing on
flutes and tambourines; they resembled
FOR all the world a batch of used-up bal
let dancers. 81 .u SEQ
The cortege slowly traversed the court
yard and entered a long. narrow, dark
hall, where the audience took place. The
King was present, as gracious as ever, but
more silent than usual. A solemn still
ness pervaded the place. Suddenly a
slight noise was heard at the end of the
approached the wall and knelt down be-
fore a mysterioua curtain. This was
raised in a few minutes. and behind it
appeared a kind of obscure arcade by
which the audience chamber is connected
with the private apartments Of her
majesty. The queen-mother could now
be family distinguished, immobile as a
statue. Her existence being proved to
the company. the curtain was let down
again. Thus hidden, invisible but pres
ent, her majesty communicates with the
outer world, including the king himself.
The king, still on his knees. beckoned to
the interpreter to approach and kneel
down.. He hen said something to the
queen, who replied from behind the cur
tain, and the visit ended.-Pall Mall Ga

able for a Good Crop in 1887.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The following crop
review will appear in this weeks issue of
the Farmers Review: The reports from
the center wheat-growing states indicate
that the conditions are generally favorable
for the growing grain. In eighteen counties
of Illinois, SIX report an increased acreage,
six an average acreage and two decreased
acreage, indicating that the average for the
state will be fully equal to that of the pre-
ceding year. In twelve counties in Indiana,
five report an increased, five an average
and two decreased acreage. In eleven
Kansas counties three report an increased.
two an average and six decreased acre
age. In six Michigan counties, one reports
an increased, four an average and two
decreased acreage. In fourteen Missouri
counties, four reports an increased,
three an average and seven de-
creased acreage. In fifteen Ohio counties,
four report an increased, tell an average and
one decreased acreage. In nine WiScon-
sin counties four report an increased, three
an average and two decreased acreage.
In Missouri and Wisconsin the outlook for
the winter wheat is reported to be unusually
fine. and in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Kansas is generally fair to good. The aver
ages Of the yield of corn do not vary but
slightly from farmers reports. Very COM
plete reports make the average yield per
acre as follows: Illinois, 261z bushels;
Iowa, 27A, Kansas. 2111; Wisconsin, 81;
Missouri, 25A; Indiana, 3254; Ohio, 81;
Minnesota. 3415; Michigan, Az: Nebraska

complete as from ths other states. and the
average cannot be taken nearly as accur-
ately as those of the other states.

The Rest gsse.xunner.

The best base-runner in the league is
Andrews. of Philadelphia, who is an
nounced to have retired from the ball field.
Not only did he steal the most bases fifty
six), but he participated i'll twelve less
games than Kelly. who stole fftythree,
and in twenty less games than Hanlon,
who stole fifty bases. Hanlon is really next
to the best base runner, inasmuch as Kelly.
while he has stolen three more bases than
Hanlon, and participated in eight less
games, stands first in the batting list, while
Hanlon is only 6fty-nine. 1t is easy to see,
therefore, that Kelly has had far larger
number of opportunities than Hanlon.
Andrews is forty-fifth in the batting list,
but is not as successful in getting to first on
short hits or On bases on balls as Hanlon,
1t is clear. therefore. that the young Phila-
delphia player is entitled to be called the
champion base-runner of the league.
