as dangerous to open windows as 10 keep

To meet this difficulty DIR. Brown Sc

of his invention. A reversed funnel, the
shape Of a lamp shade, is placed at the
end of a tube. so arranged in its curves
and angles that when it is placed beside
a bed the reversed funnel will be above
the sleeper, and draw up the air he
breathes. The other end runs into the

The Chinese in California do not de-
post their savings in our banks, but
leave their surplus earnings with some
~storekeeper for safety until they are
ready to send the money 10 China. The
storekeeper does not pay the depositor
any interest; on the contrary, he charges
him a small sum for taking care Of the
money. The result is some Of the prin-
cipal merchants in San Francisco have a
large amount of money in their hands
all the time. The danger of being robbed
is very slight, as all the employees and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night but what
some one is awake and moving about.

Denth Ratc In Ru.sIa.

In the thirteen central provinces, the
heart of Russia, the rate Of mortality is
as high Us G2 in /, 200 per year. Accord
ing 10 the last report Of the director Of
the medical department-that issued in
October. 1Ss1-it appears that ia some
parts Of the empire mortality reaches the
high rate Of 60 10 50 deaths per ! 900 in
habitant7. The death rate among chill
dren is still more frightful, being 90 per
cent, and ia some districts even 20 per
cent, of the whole mortality. According
10 the same unbiased authority, Of the
2,900,0 600 persons who die yearly in Rus
STA, 1000, 900 are the victims Of ''sani-
tary conditions, which means hunger
and want, because the sanitary conditions
of our people have always been what they
are now, that is 10 say, very bad.
Notwithstanding the high birth rate,
which is as per 1000, due 10 very early
marriages, the population Of Russia in.

Possible Uses for the Phonorraph.

In all that has been written about the
uses TO which the forthcoming Edison

said Of the facilities it will give people
who can neither read nor write for cor
respondence. Indeed, there is no doubt
but there will be an immense demand on
the wonderful powers of the instrument
from this class. The instruments into
which books have been read will also
repeat them to the blind, and those thus
afflicted can have the choicest treasures
of the libraries of the world at their
service day or night.

away or busy or asleep, can hive his
faithful reader always at command. But
all these things are not pertinent 10 this

gc,tcd the paragraph is this. What a
valuable thing a phonograph would be on
a rapidly moving train durlnS a long
journey. Ii is hard on the eyes of many
to read in travelling, or at night the light
is insufficient OF the car is darI,ened Tor

have lbs faithful phonogrph in his berth,
and with the earphonr adjusted can listen
TO its sweet voice at will, without dis

An Astronomer in Command.

Gen. Mitchell was at this time 70 years
old. He was If an extremely wiry
frame, and was possessed Of wonderful
endurance. His hair had lately grown
gray, which made him loolto!ier than he
really was. He was accustomed TO ride
a horse whose gait was n pace. On this
horse he was all over the camps al all
hours Of the night and day. The guards
were never certain of his coming. The
men soon learned u his previous occupa-

When we como 10 the question of color
in dress, as il appears relatively 10 the
decorative tendencies of the New York
street, we must look for its handspring,
in some degree, to American social n
ditions. American women, as a rule,
make more display Of magniicence in
the street than the women Of any other
nation. To them the street means a
show, a parade, in which they play an
important part. In adopting the modern
ERglish aesthetic idea of color in dress,
American women have applied ii extern
siyely 10 street costumes. The Use Of
brilliant reds in street gowns and hats
having spread throughout Europe is
now n~ationalized on American soil, and
adds checrfulness TO life and landscape.
The approaching change in the costumes
Of men is likely to result in a freer use
Of color. The English movement against
the monotony Of male attire is finding
followers in this country, aud already
many men are beginning 10 appear in
p,blic in c0lors that We're until recently
