A writer in THE Westminster Review upon
the characteristics Of American cities points out
an interesting fact which probably many Amerl-
cans have never needed. This is the large number
of cities that are crowded near each other-the
last thing to be expected, apparently, in new
country Boston, with its 10000 people and
its score or more of tributary cities each ranging
from 10000 to $4,000 population, is but SIX
hours from New-Yorlx. with 100000 and BROOK
lyn with 500, 900, Jersey City with 100000 ETC.
Close at hand are Newark with 100000 and
number of minor cities on the route to Philadelphia
with its 100000, Baltimore with It's 100000
and Washington with its 100000. The writer
adds: There are no such city centres as these
in most Continental countries, and in Greao
Britain nothing exactly comparable to It, In
Latin country il would be impossible for two
cities of the size Of New-York ana Philadelphia
to exist within three hours of each other. The
Capitalization would inevitably build up one at
the expense Of the other Another thing arous-
ing the admiration of this writer, as of all in
telligent foreigners, was to find the English
language spoken throughout the vast extent OF
our territory without any trace OF distinct dia-
lect This paper by the way, is so well written,
and contains so many shrewd and interesting OBJ
servatiOns as to make it pleasure TO await other
papcrs that are promised from the same hand.

The WORLDS Oldest Rose bush.

The Oldest rose bush in the world is at
Hildershein. 1t was planted moro than l 200
years ago by Charle-nagne in commemora-
ton of visit made him by the ambassador
Of the Caliph Haroun-al- Rascbid, of Arab
ian Nights" fame. y few years afterward
when Louis the Pious, the son of Charlie
uaSpe, was hunting in the neighborhood,
mass was said in the open air. On returning
to his home, the officiating priest fond that
the holy image was missing. Returning to
TO the spot where mass had been said, he dis
covered the missing image in the branches of
a wild rose tree. As it miraculously evaded
his grasp he went back to Louis and his suite
and told them of the wonder They all
rushed to the spot and fen on their knees be-
fore the miraculous bush. A cathedral was
built above it, its roots being inclosed in a
sort of coffin shaped vault, under the middle
altar of the crypt This crypt was built in
the year SIS, and with the rose tree it sur
vived fire which destroyed all the rest Of
the cathedral in lI46. The roots are over
1000 years old The rose plant was, when
described few years ago. still living and
blooming profusely, and was twenty-SiI feet
high, covering thirty-two feet Of wall,
though the stem was only two inches in di-
ameter.-Sophie B. Herrick in The Cosino-

Deaths from Lead Poisoning.

In the list Of deaths from poisoning in
Great Br!tain-511 in single year
ninety five, or over one-sixth, were caused
by lead The people of all civilized coun-
tries are in need of special caution con-
corning the use of lead Lead pipes, lead
faucets, lead solder, and in many other
forms, lead is a subtle and terrible dan
ger Thousands suffer from lead poison
ing who do not die Thereby. 1t should
never be used, when by corrosion it can
become an element in food or drink. Tho
symptoms are so easily laid to other
causes that it can do serious mischief be-
fore its presence is suspected. It's use in
red precipitate as a solder on pipes is
specially dangerous. Next to lead, the
cases of poison most numerous were from
opium, then from carbolic acid. Bella
donna and alcohol, aconite, chlorodyno
and hydrcchloric acid follow in the list
with nearly equal pace. For suicidal pur-
pose carbolic acid was used in forty-two
cases, morphine, opium and laudanum in
forty-one. The fashion in suicide is very
variable.-Globe- Democrat.

Aluminium As an ALLOW,

But the chief uses of aluminium are in the
forms Of alloy, which seem destined to take
the place Of steel, iron and other metals
where they are exposed to heavy work, its
tensile strength being far greater than that
Of steel. The chief alloys are copper and
antimony, but alleged with brass it gives
out g clear, ringing sound when struck and
makes an excellent metal for bells. Alu-
minuIn bronze is used in making propeller
screws, it not being affected by water, and
neither does it corrode. Aluminium iron
holds its color, gives finer grain and pre-
vents sand holes in the casting. Alloyed
with zinc, copper and nickel it has a pale,
yellow tint, while with 5 per cent. aluminium
and the rest copper it takes rich yellow
similar to brass. These alloys are used for
harness. or wherever yellow metal is de-
sired. They are rapidly taking the place Of
brass, being far less apt to tarnish and much
more easily cleaned The new White Star
steamers now being made in England are be-
ing fitted with this metal in preference to
any other. There would also seem to be a
large field FOR it in the manufacture of Inusi-
cal instruments that are now made of brass.

The "Upsetn Canoe Race.

Z There is one event in every canoe regatta
that auluses the lay spectatof-the ssupsetn
race. The sailing races may be tiresome,
aud devoid OF interest through lack of wind.
The padding races may be exciting; but for
pure fun the upset race is sure to cary of the
palm. It is, to begin with, q short race, Of
about 200 feet. The canoes are started Just
as in padding races, and when wen under
way, signal is given from shore, at which
every paddler must Immediately capsize his
canoe, turn it completely over, regain his
seat, and paddle to the finish The overturn-
ing of the whole feet of canoes at the same
instant is novel and ludicrous sight, and
the struggles Of the paddlers to crawl over
the sides Of the canoes, without again upset
ting them, are very funny to watch.
These races have produced more skill in
handling the canoe under difficulties than
any other event. The contestants must be
good swimmers and strong They must be
active and thoroughly accustomed to the
water, and must have practical knowledge
OF balance. Ii an upset" or imam over
board" event should be added to rowing re-
gattas it might go far toward reducing the
annual number Of accidents and fatalities
from this fine sport. The fun comes in OF
canoe upset" race mainly from the entire
absence of danger. Risk is lacking simply
because the men who compete are all skillful
hands. The training is invaluable to the
canoeists, and it has prevented many an ac-
cident by giving the paddlers confidence in
the canoes and themselves when accidentally
placed in trying circumstances

Curiosities of Vegetable Groufn.

1t is a singular and as yet unexplained fact
that in certain species of vegetable growth
there are found a variety Of stones supposed
to be formed and deposited in their tissues
from the siicious and calcareous Juices cir
culating in their organisms. Thus, in the
bamboo round stone is found at the joints
Of the cane called ''tabasheer." Another
curiosity Of the sort is the ''cocoanut stone,".
found in the endosperm of the coceanut in
Java and other East India islands. DR.,
Kiminins describes it as q pure carbonate
of lime. 1t is sometimes round, some
times pear shaped, while the appearance is
that of a white pearl without much luster.
Some of the stones are. as large as cherries
and as hard as feldspar or opal They are
very rare and are regarded as precious stones
by the orientals and charms against disease
or evil spirits by the natives. Stones of this
kind are sometimes found in the pomegranate
and other East India fruits. Apatite has
been discovered in the midst of teak wood

A Peculiar Love Charm.

In the south of France they make a
very peculiar love charm in very pecu-
liar way. Under certain ceremonies which
] do not understand very well the young
woman catches and boxes up frog in
box with a lot of little holes bored in the
wood. The casket is then buried in an
mt hill and left there for two weeks.
The ants of course attack the prisoner
and eat up all his flesh, and all that is left
is the creatures bones. Among these is
shield shaped bono about as large as
ones thumb nail, upon one end of which
Is little hook. The girl takes this bone
and has it blessed surreptitiously by the
priest without his knowledge-that is,
she exposes it during the benediction at
the mass-and then she hooks it on the
clothing of her sweetheart that is to be.
/ was gravely assured that the charm.
when properly prepared with all due cere-
mony and care, had never been known to
fail.-Chicago News.

How q Iithograph Is Made.

After the photographer has carefully
studied the original drawing before him
and laid out his plan he makes careful
tracing of it on transparent gelatine, on
which he indicates every line or shade or
graduation, and this tracing is carefully
transferred to previously prepared stone
and serves as key" to the entire work
and for ell the color stones.
The work on stone is drawn with
greasy black chemically prepared crayon,
which, by the way, has to be sharpened
backward, or from the point I'D, as its
very brittle nature will not allow of its
being sharpened in the ordinary way
The greasy crayOn penetrates the stone,
which is then subjected to solution OF
gum arabic and nitric acid, after which it
is carefully washed of with water. Tho
black drawing, however, still shows. but
is now easily washed from the face of the
stone with turpentine, leaving the sur
face, to al appearances, as clean as when
tho stone first came into the artists hands.
1t is then dampened with water. The
printer passes his roller, charged with
color, over the surface, and this adheres
only whore the stone is dry, or in other
words, where the grease of the crayon is,
and this color is transferred from the
stone to the paper.
The same process is employed for the
application Of each successive color, por-
lions OF the picture being drawn on'sev-
eral different stones to obtain what may
be called the composite tints, while others
are only drawn on single stone, when
the color in the picture is to be one Of
those directly employed - New YorN

Cory for the Editor.

Most editors dislike pencil copy. 1t is
hard to read and bothers desk editor and
compositors alike. News paper-paper
like that on which newspapers are printed
should never be used for anything but
newspaper copy. If it is used, the sheets
should never be larger than commercial
note size.
Editors may not complain of pencil
copy, but they prefer pen and ink copy
every time. OF course, If writer has a
regular and assured position, he may con-
suit only his own convenience and disre-
gard the wishes of those who handle mis-
copy; but if he is sending his matter to
an uncertain market the heater and hand
somer he makes it, the more likely it is to

The Pastine of Theft.

The sport of thieving, in its various forms,
is the most irresistible of all pastimes, writes
the late Chief Justice Cockburn in is re-
Ininiscences What have the moors equal to

community OF their own, the whole public

after being caught trespassing. If anything
could be required to whet their appetite for
this game. it would be its contrast with the
dizziness of good prison recently left. I
hope I'm wrong, but if there be thoroughly

a Shooting Incident in India.

Four Europeans who had been out after
tiger in the Maimensing district were, says
Calcutta paper, returning at the close of a
very long day, and had almost reached the
factory where they were to dine and pass the
night, when the captain ordered a halt. Toe
''linen at once pulled up, and he said: 81 bate

where there are children; propose that we
fire ours off," "All right" saic another,
'sbut we have not had shot all DAY; what
do you say to 'pool'a" ''Theres Nothing to
fire at" observed third. "There's that
ghurrah," said the captain, pointing to an
earthern vessel which some ryots who were
working at a little distance had, as usual,
brought their days supply of drinking water
In. ''Very good" said the fourth, ''but,
what with bad light and the distance, it's by
no means an easy shot. l propose we each
put a chick on" GLOW shall we decide as to
the order Of fringe said one. "Oh," replied
The captain, generously, commence at your
end of the line"
The mark was by no means an easy one to
hit, for the distance was well nigh hundred
yards, the guns smooth bores and the light
that deceptive kind which one gets just be-
tween daylight and dark. But, on the other
hard, the hunters were exceptionally good
men, all excellent shots, either of whom could
hit a running deer from the back of an ele-
plant twice out of three times. Fire away"
said the captain. No. 1 grazed the right side
Of the vessel, and it was thought must have
hit it. No. 2 went just over it. No 3 went
little to the left ''Thank you, gentlemen"
said the captain, ''Tll trouble you for those
L. rupees" He raised his gun as he spoke,
and the next moment the jar was covered
with earth; the bullet had cut tho ground
beneath it.
Presently the vessel was seen to wriggle
and then to kick, while feeble cry pro-
claimed it to be a baby. CONSERVATION was
depicted on every face. The elephants
oolted, the sahibs jumped down and rushed
10 the spot, the parents running from the op-
posite direction. The little mite hadn't been
touched, and was carried of by the father
and mother with great rejoicing. They also
took the ''pool' along with them, and right
glad the sahibs were, under the circumstan-
ces, to part with it.-New York Post.
