Foreign New jersey.

The origin Of the ~allusion to New jersey as
a foreign country is rs follows: after the
downfall Of the first Napoleon his brother
Joseph, who had been king of Spain. and his
nephew, Prince Murat, sought refuge in this
country, bringing with them great wealth.
Joseph B%onaparto wished to build a palatial
residence, but did not wish 10 become a citi-
zen, having hopes Of returning 70 Europe.
To enable him as an alien TO hold real estate
required a special act of the legislature. He
tried 10 get one passed in several states. but
failed. He was chagrinel especially because
Pennsylvania refused. After this he applied
to the New Jersey legislature, which granted
both him and Prince Murat the privilege of
purchasing land. They bought a tract at
Bordentown, built magnificent dwellings and
fitted them up in the most costly manner.
Rare pictures, soul ptureS, etc, were profuse
and selected with the greatest care. and tho
grounds laid ont with exquisite taste. joseph
~Bonaparte's residence was, perhaps. the finest
IN America. Thousands Of people from all parts
Of the country visited him and were treated
courteously. He was extremely liberal with
his money, and gave great impetus to the
business Of the little town. The Philadel-
phians, finding that he had apparently no end
81 money, and that he used it 70 benefit busi-
ness generally, regretted, when too late. that
they refused TO let him locate among them
selves, and, to keep up their modification.
would continue to taunt Jerseymen with hay
Ing a king-with importing the king of Spain
TO rule over them. They were called Span
iards and foreigners on that account. But
these tauuts harmed no one, as the Jersey
men lost nothing by allowing him 10 settle
among them, and thus foreigners jok-
ingiy applied to Jerseymen. has com

Phase of the Faith Care.''

The blood of dying gladiators in the
ancient amphitheatres was popularity be
lieyed To be a remedy for the failing

not died GU even in the Nineteenth cent
ury. Dcs Elanges, in his edition of the

Adobe Houses.

Adobe houses arc made Of unburned brick.
They are in COMMON use in Texas, Mexico,
Central and South America. The bricks arc
made Of ioamy earth, containing about two.
thirds fine sand and one-third ciayey dust.
This mess IS mixed with water and then
pressed into molds Of the required size. Taken
from the molds the adobes are placed on edge
on the ground and left to harden in the sun.
In a few days they are hard, compact bricks,
without a crack. They are laid with mud
mortar, and at the completion Of every two
feet Of the structure, an interval Of one week
IS allowed fO~r-drying, and a similar space Of
time between the completion Of the wailsand
the putting on of the roof, The houses are
usually one story high, and the inside is
plastered before the roof is put on. The dura-
ton Of these houses IS much greater than
would be supposed, as there are a number
now in existence which have stood for more
than a century.

working ON SPACE"
Results of Paying Tor Newspaper Work
"by the 1ard'-fhc Bohemian'- Hope.

~ ~ ~ = W
One Of the most demoralizino features
Of newspaper work is the space system as
10 IS practiced in many newspaper Offices.
II may be the cheapest for the paper, but
1t Is neither fair 10 the writer nor the
public. Under the space system the man
who knows enough 10 stop when he gets
through has no show. The successful
writer is the man who can reel his story
of through a Wearying eternity OF yer
biage. and who has the skill to write so
that 10 IS difficult 10 cut his matter down.
Thus the public. which pays for the pa
pcrs, frequently gets a infinitely circnm-
stantial and heavily padded account Of
somc matter which might we'll he CON
deuscd into Il few lines. Quality does
not seem TO enter into the question, and
brains are sold, like calico, by the yard,
and they do not bring much better prices
ia some markets, either. The supply Of
WOrdy writers has become 50 much in ex-
cess Of the demand that space rates have
steadily gone lower ana lower.
IL is the conscientious men, too, who
suffer most. The writer, honest to his
paper and himself, who writes his story
for all IL IS wOrth-and no mOrc-is handi-
capped by the facile "fakir," who has the
knack Of writing columns and saying
nothing. Again, the uufairness Of the
space rule is seen in the fact that in most
Offices the writer has no guarantee a. to
the size Of type his matter may be set In,
1t may begin loaded and run down 10
solid, or a story may be finished in u
smaller face Of type II the exigcncies Of
make up demand il. The Harper's sys-
TEN Of so q thousand words is fairer,
and, in a weekly publication, is the only
method of fair compensation which can
be made.
Bnt the great objection IS the element
Of chance III the space system. which tends
10 demoralizc the working newspaper man
and keep HIM poor His string may
only measure up $50 this week, but there
is always the glowing hope of "a "big sen
sation' next week, which viii run ii up
into the eighties or hundreds. As Il mat
ter of fact, the working journalist makes
a- much money a. the average young pro-
fes,ioual man. But his business makes
him q gambler in spite Of himself. lie is
looking for a change in his luck.
lie may stumble on to "a big story to-
morrow which will pay all his debts and
him 10 take a vacation besides. II
is not from choice that there are so many
B0hemians in journalism. They are
forced 20 Bohemia by the men who buy
heir work. The ambition to make large
has been one cause Of the space
The value OF a newspaper has
to be judged, pot by the amount Of
news it contains, but 10y the number Of
pages its news items are stretched out to
over. When news is beaten out TO cover |
10 much space. like gold leaf, 1t becomes
very thin.-Thc Journalist.

onl Of my readers as 1t was 10 me. A

Superstitions concerning the effect Of the
moon on the earth are very common, but are
wholly without foundation in reality. The
relation Of the moon 10 the earth is simply
that Of a satellite, whose attraction ha an
important influence On the motion in its
orbit, and on the shifting level Of its oceans,
causing the tides. 1t might be supposed that
If the moon can attract the water upon the
surface Of tho earth She can also attract its
atmosphere, and thus, through movement u
the air currents, have u p%erceptible influence
upon the weather. But investigation shows
that as the aeriel mass is in no way confined
in cstuaries or CULTS, its tide caused by ex-
ternal attraction must be- slight. So far as
can be indicated by the barometer it IS too
small TO be worth reckoning, being leo than
.001 Of an inch.

why the Year 1900 Will Not he Counted
Among the Leap Years.

The year is 3Gj days, 8 hours aud ~ minutes
long; eleven minutes are taken every year TO
make the year 3G5 IA days long, and every
fourth year we have an extra day. This was
Julius Caesars arrangement. Where do these
eleven minutes come front They come from
the future, and are paid back by emitting
leap year every 100 years. But if leap year
is omitted regularly every Tooth year. in the
course OF 400 years it is found that the eleven
minutes taken each year will not only have
been paid back, but that a whole day will
have been given up So Pope Gregory IIf.
who improved on C8sar's calendar in 1852.
decreed that every centurial year diyisibIe
by 4 should be a leap year after all. SO we
borrow eleven minute each year, more than
pay our borrowings back by emitting three
leap years In three centurial years, and
square matters by having a leap year in the
fourth centurial year. Pope Gregory's ar
rangement is 50 exact, and the borrowing
and paying back balance SO closely, that we
borrow more than We pay back to the extent
Of only one day In 1856 years.

Milking an ArtiGclal SIX.

Gardener recently announced TO the
French Academy Of Sciences theresults Of
his experiments in making an artificial
silk, which are certainly of a remarkably
ingenious nature. To a solution of nitro
cellulose gun cotton IN alcohol and
ether is added a solution Of ferr-
nose chloride in alcohol and also some
alcoholic solution Of tanniu. The liquid
thus obtained is elected from fine ducts,
like the apparatus in a silk worm As the
thread comes from the duct it is received
in water a|cidulated with nitric acid, from
which it is drawn out, dried rapidly and
reelcG up. 1t can be obtained Of any color
by cOlOring the mixture from which the
thread is made. This new thread is trans
parent, pliabic, cylindrical or fiat, and in
appearance and feel like silk. 1t is very
strong II burns, bnt the fire does not 20

Many persons who experienced The
earthquake in the Riviera have since
suffered seriously from nervous shock,
although they did not at the time appear
10 be greatly disturbed. This indicates
that more injury may be done TO the
nerves by an undue excitement than is
perceived at the time. The nerve centers
may. as an English medical journal sug-
gests, be likcned to batteries. and re
