A New Ticket Tariff.

The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad has adopted a new ticket tariff on
all its lines. The new tariff, in substance,
figures distances down to fine point,
charging odd cents for odd miles, etc. 1t is
rumored that other Southern roads will
soon follow the example Of this line. The
question which now presents itself to rail-
road men is, who win Ire required to have
the proper change the purchaser Of tickets
or the ticket agentl If passenger calls at
the ticket ofiico for a ticket and neither he
nor the ticket agent has the odd cents
change, and the passenger gets on the train
without ticket, whose fault will it be If he
is compelled to pay &c. per milel These are
questions that will interest railroad men
and the travelling public.

BASE BALLS OFF WEEK.
INTERSTATE LEAGUE PLAYERS TO
HAVE A REST.

the Charleston Leaguers - Last
Weeks Games in the Professional
Leagues-Birminghan Still Ahead of
the Southern Clubs-Chicago Holds
Its Own in the National League while
Brooklyn and Cincinnati Change
Places in the American Association.
This week will be an off week in the In
terstate League. There will be no more
league games until June IL. In the inter-
val the Savannahs will play the Charleston
Southern League team here on Friday, and
in Charleston Saturday. These games are
looked forward to with a good deal of in
terest, and they will show the comparative
strength of the amateur and professional
teams.
THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE RACE.
There was no change last week in the
standing of the Southern League clubs.
Memphis, by her unexpected victory over
Birmingham Saturday, still retains second
place, but is closely crowded by Charleston.
The Sea Gulls, by their five successive vic
tories over Memphis and New Orleans, are
now well up to the leaders, with every pros
pect this week Of dislodging the Bluff City
representatives from second position. New
Orleans is still suffering from disorganiza-
ton, and will require considerable strength
eulng and bracing up to recover the ground
that she is now fast losing.
Memphis and Birmingham will play at
Birmingham Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, while New Orleans plays in
Charleston to-day, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. The clubs will then lay off
for one week until Thursday, June %, when
Charleston will resume play at Birmingham
and New Orleans at Memphis.
The lay off has been provided in the
schedule in order to extend the season into
September. The rest will give the clubs a
chance to brace up and prepare for the
great race that is now before them. A few
days more and Charleston will be racing
neck and neck with Birmingham and Mem
phis. The real race for the pennant will
then begin, and it promises to be the most
brilliant and exciting in the history of the
Southern League. The following are the
records up to date:

Chances for Inventors.

/ have often taken occasion to remark
that the world is awaiting the appear
ance of three inventors, greater than
any who have gone before, and to whom
it will accord honors and emoluments
far exceeding all ever yet received by
any of their predecessors. The first is
he who will show us how, by the COM
bustion of fuel, directly to produce the
electric current; the second is the man
who will teach us how TO reproduce the
beautiful light of the glow-worm and
the frehy-a light without heat-the
production of which means the utiliza-
ton of energy without that still more
serious waste than the thermo-dynami
now met with in the attempt to pro-
duce light; while the third is the in
ventor who is to give us the first prac-
tically successful air-ship. The first
two of these problems are set for the
electrical engineer, and we may be par
doned excess of faith, should it prove to
be such, when, contemplating the enor-
nous gain to humanity which must
come of such inventions, we look con-
fidently for the genius who is to multi
ply the wealth of the world to an eX-
tent beside which even the boon con-
ferred by the creators of the steam en-
CINE and the telegraph will not appear
overshadowing. When this inventor
comes forward, and most probably not
until then, it is very likely that we shall
see steam superseded by a rival

The People Of Barbados.

l think the density of population is
what impresses a stranger most. 1t is
like living aboard man-of-war, where
men are as thick as bees and space for
another one seems difficult to find.
There is absolutely no privacy. Out
from the town of Bridgeport, as far as
you choose to go, the roads are like
streets, with little boxes or houses along
the wayside, each holding numerous
family, while troops of negroes stroll
along the white way. Sit for moment
beneath lignumvit@ or bread-fruit
shade, and negroes spring up from the
ground to gaze and wonder who you
are. This teeming concentrated human
life is the first novelty that tourist
sees. In an area of one hundred sixty
six miles one hundred eighty thou
sand human beings live, and apparently
live comfortably well. 1t is, perhaps,
the most densely crowded territory
known, and this state of affairs makes
itself evident at once in every part of
the island. Streets are crowded from
building to building all day long, as a
New York pavement is in the forenoon.
The people are almost entirely good
humored blacks, clean and neatly
dressed in white. --Dr. w. F. Hutchin-
son, IN american Magazine.

A Wonderful Printing-Machine.

The american BOOkmdker describes
machine which takes in paper at one
end and turns out completely bound
books at the other at the rate of five
thousand copies an hour. There are
three great iron cylinders, segemental
in form, and each having diameter of
six feet and weighing about three tons
each. On one of these are the forms
which do the printing in quadruple
series, the other two acting solely as
impression cylinders. In combination
with the cylinder carrying the printing
forms are ink fountains, form and dis
tributing rollers, while in combination
with the impression cylinders are novel
appliances for handling automatically,
revising, assembling, folding, covering
and delivering the complete books.
This remarkable continuance requires
eight tons of paper, with a correspond
ing amount of printing ink, and this
it turns into books in single day, and
it requires twelve box-cars of thirty
thousand pounds capacity each to
transfer the output for single week.
This machine is built in Philadelphia
by its inventor and patentee, at whose
establishment the visitor may see in
daily and nightly operation no less than
six of these mammoth machines turn
ing with surprising rapidity and regu-
larity their miles of paper into printed
matter ready for the perusal of the
reader
