dogs overturn the soil on the areas they
occupy with considerable rapidity. Still
as the number of these creatures in any
given district is not great, their infu-

The foregoing considerations make it
tolerably clear that our ants are. in

lant agents in overturning the soil and
in comminglinC the superficial organic
matter with the mineral material OF
which it is composed. Although on a
field of Il certain class, those which are

are probably more efficient soilmakers
than the ants. this latter group appears
to be, at least in the eastern part Of
North America. on the whole. by far
the most effective in the preparation OF
the soil for the needs of plants. They
do not, it is true, take the soil into their

earth-worms do. but they accomplish

BANKING IN CHINA
How PigtaiIed Tellers Handle Scraps OF
silver and Clumsy Bank Notes.

How Pigtaiied Tellers Handle Scraps oil
silver and Clumsy Bank Notes.
A curious place that we looked into
on our way across the city of Canton
was Chinese bank. where the counter.
part of the brisk young cashiers, tellers
and accountants of our home banks
were sitting in pigtails. and the long
blue blouses Of gentlemen and scholars,
shoveling silver Mexicans from basket
to basket. and letting them fall on the
stone floor with deafening ring and
clatter. A Chinaman can do nothing
quietly, and noise is his necessary &C
compartment to every action. Every
one of the pewtery-looking dollars is
weighed and stamped by the bank, rung
on stone slabs and fully tested, and
there are baskets full Of fragments.
halves and chips Of silver dollars that
pass as smaller coins. These scraps
and bits of silver pass current by their
weight and their purity is tested by the
ring. The Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking corporation issue paper
notes of different values that save
one from carrying loads of these
clumsy Mexican dollars about with
one, but the bank notes are as
clumsy in proportion. They are all
over six inches long and four inches
wide. of tough. tibrous paper. as thick
as blotting paper. and as habby as so
much dirty calico. which they chiefly
resemble. Those diploma-sized notes
of the Bank of England are small and
compact by comparison, and every
common-sense traveller cries for Nit
kiewicz and his syndicate to come with
the great bank and DO away with the
ugly Mexican and the clumsy English
noses. A great proportion of Chinese
talent must be employed in counter
feiting Chinese dollars. to judge from
the numbers about and the wariness
with which every one accepts one of
the coins. A most clever counterfeit
passed off on me was one that was
plainly pure silver and newly minted.
An expert raped it sharply with his
pen-knife, and the top fell off like the
lid of box, and disclosed an interior
of pure pewter filling in the thin shell
of silver. At the American schedule of
wages, two dollars of silversmith's
time had been used to plane off in r
thin shaving the top of the dollar. dig
out the solid part and fill up the cavity
with lead, and bring the deceptive
seventy-cent dollar down to silver
value at ten cents or less.-Cor. 81.

New silk mills are springing up
everywhere, and the immigration OF
foreign weavers has almost stopped.
Never in one season was there such
a demand for oak to go into house

Red and white oaks are particularly

"A new attachment to the micro

1t is estimated that the sum spent
on new buildings in this country last
year was $4,000. 900. OO0. and that the
transfers of real estate amounted to
SO, 100. 100000.
Careful experiments have shown
that waste silk is the most effective of
all non-conducting coverings for steam
pipes. and the demand for this purpose
is great in spite of the cost.
The values of the exports of min
eral oils from the United States for the
year ended December 81. 1887. showed
a decrease of s2.5S4.977 from the values
of the corresponding period OF 1886.

A recent chemical examination of

in one case not a trace of real lard

than the genuine article is.
