Monaghan Child Vendors.

In Nankin and Kai-fun children from
6 to II years of age are sold out by tens
of thousands. Not hired out or trans
ferred-but sold for a small sum of cash,
in consideration of which the progenitor,
by a tacit understanding, renounces all
parental rights, even the right of inqui-
ring into the fate of his offspring. The
purchasing trader may be the middle
mar of a Well-to-do childless couple, or
the agent of a wholesale tea-planter, or
a coolie-breeder, raising and training
slaves for a foreign market. For the
equivalent of 3 pounds sterling any
commission pedler will undertake to
adopt" the same number of young
Mongols in the name of any employer,
and at very short notice. The authori-
ties might object to a formal and public
purchase, but the meaning of the adopt
ing transaction is well understood and
connived at.
1t is a lesser evil, and few parents ask
any questions. Rather than see their
children starve they win resign them
to any fate-with one exception; the
orthodox BuddhiSts seem to have evinced
occasional %scruples IN delivering up
their youngster to proselytizing mission
aries, whom they suspect of all sorts of
damnable practices. But even such
scruples can be readily outweighed by a
few extra dollars

DR.. Calling, the inventor of the fam
Gus Calling gun, will Dol have ready
a new form of his machine-gun specially
devised for use by the police in great
cities. 1t will be constructed on the
same principles as his large street and
field gun, but will be very light and
compact. The barrels of the guns are
only twelve inches long, and the whole
thing, when mounted on a police wa
gon, viii not weigh more than fifty
pounds. HIS idea is to have two or
three of these guns mounted on apolice
wagon, which a be driven rapidly to
the scene of a threatening riot. Each
gun will fire at least 100 shots a minute,
and the Doctors notion is that the
mere knowledge that such weapons are
in possession of the police will of itself
prevent apy violent action by a mob.

One of the most interesting recent
discoveries in science is the fact that a
ray Of light produces sound. A sun
beam is thrown through a lens on q
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored silk, or worsted, or other SUD-
stances. a disk having Sits or open
lngs cut In it is made to reyolve swiftly
in this beam Of light, so as to cut 1t up,
thus making alternate flashes OF light
and shadow. On putting the a to the
glass vessel strange sounds are heard
so long as the flashing beam Is falling
on the vessel. Recently a more won
derful discovery has been made. The
beam of sunlight is made to pass
through a prism so as TO produce what
is called the solar spectrum or rainbow.
The disk is turned and the colored
light OF the rainbow Is made to break
through it. Now place the ear to the
vessel containing the silk, wool or other
material. AS the colored lights OF the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
given by different parts of the SPECTRUM,
and there will be silence IN other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains red
worsted and the green light hashes
upon 1T, loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard when
the red and blue parts of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no sounds at all. Green SILK
gives sound best in red light. Every
kind of material gives more or less
sound in different colors and utters no
sound in others.

The. London Times. referring to the
deep shaft being sunk neal Schladebach
by the German Government, with the
special object of obtaining reliable data
concerning the rate of the earth's in.
creased temperature toward the lnte'
rior, concludes, from all that has thus
far been developed, that the earth's
crust cannot be more than about one
ninetieth of its radius. 1t seems That
the plan pursued has been to ascertain
the temperature at successive stages by
means of a special thermometer, the
principle of construction being. that as
the heat increases, the mercury will ex-
pand SO as to flow over the lip of an
open tuber the difference of the over
flowing giving the rate of increase OF
the temperature. AT the depth OF 1872
metres the temperature indicated 49 de-
grees C~entigrade, or 100 degrees Fair.
If the temperature increases regularly
at this rate, the boiling point of water
ought to be reached at a depth of 30O0
metres. or nearly two miles, and at
forty-ive miles the heat would be that

common waterlng-pot. When grass

salt in the grain may be applied to kill
