-Four Kinds of Parisi,n Re,,aurant..

The Parisian restaurants LEY bc divi-
ded into four classes. First 'ome the
"Cremeries, a kind Of da.Iv eating
house, and chiefly supported by the lower
classes; the Establishments DIV al. +" the
restaurants "a fixe prix" and u, restau-
rants "a la carte" To the last q lass be-
long. Of course, the fashionable md ex-
pensive cafes of the great bOuhyards,
such as the Anglais, the MaisOl Doree
and the Cafe Bignon. The lat men-
toned, by the way, is in the Champs
Elysees, and its scale Of prices is outrage
Gus, probably due TO the fact that its pa
tronage is almost entirely English and
American. A little further down in the
scale come multitude of restaurants "a la
carte, - all good and comparatively rea-
sonable. The great trouble is that one
dining alone must either be prepared TO
content himself with very simple din
ner as far as variety is concerned, OF else
be obliged 10 order twice as much as he
can eat at proportionate addition 10 his
bill. One portion for two people is the
almost invariable order in Partisan res
taurant "a la carte, and some of them
will even serve portion for three. Un-
less one dimes there in company with a
friend or some accommodating stranger,
he will find that the saving, as compared
with Delmonico's in New York. is little
or nothing, except, perhaps, in the single
item of wine.
The dinners "a fxe prix" vary, Of
course, in quality and variety, according
TO the price. The table d'hote at six OF
eight francs is far superior to anything
outside Of France. and from that one
may dine as low down as a franc and
quarter. But the cheap French table
d'hote is the worst atrocity that reckless
man can infict on his long suffering self.
The service is always poor, the room al
ways crowded. the table, linen and glass
ware always dirty. and the cooking, with
but few exceptions, always bad. The
only thing that is almost invariably good
is the bread. but then the restaurants
themselves do not make it, but buy it
from the bakeries. Cor. New York

"ratteninv" Camel. for the Market.

The method by which camels are sud-
denly '.fattened' for the market is thus
described:

and secured by a silk cord. There il re-

moment.
When a merchant who is not acquaint-
ed with the blowing up trick comes to
buy a camel the dealer takes two tubes,
each a ward long, and inserting one end
of each in the small tubes Just described,
through the other ends two Arabs blow
with all their might until the animal has
attained the requisite degree of plump
ness. The initiating tubes are then with
drawn and the air is prevented from Is

A Steel Cable In China.

A remarkable engineering feat has just
been carried out in China in the face Of
unusual physical obstacles. This was the
stretching Of a steel cable Of seven strands
across the 6uan river by Mr.. a. de Linde,
a Danish engineer, aided only by UNI
skilled Chinese labor. The cable is strung
from two points 4,6is feet apart. The
height of one support is 447 feet above
the present level Of the river and the Sec
ond support 737 feet above it. The vertex
over the water is se~venty-eight feet. The
Chinese cable is the longest but one in the
world. The telegraph air cable across
the Kistna has a span Of 500 feet; two
similar cables cross the Ganges, one 2. 900
and the other $3.50 feet. A third line Of

An Inyentior for windmills.

Windmills are a very ancient inven-
ton, but are not of much practical value
in a country where fuel is cheap, from
the extreme irregularity Of the wind
upon which they depend. 1t is hoped
that a remedy for this defect has been
found by the Due De Feltre in the trans
formation of the surplus energy Of windy
weather by causing it to drive a dynamo,
thus converting it into electricity, with
which he charges batteries Of storage
cells. These in turn can be utilized to
drive the machinery in time OF calm.
ANY such plan is, Of course, attended by
q very large waste Of power, but when
the original quantity is so enormous as it
