NOTES AND coMMENTA

IHE seat OF buc DlbtClCob
the Jews has been the city of Vienna
but vengeance seems 10 have come up
on it at last. A great event n Vienna
every year has been the international
Grain Market, the great market for the
continent. Last year 5000 persons at
tended it. But last spring Hebrew re-
sentiment was stirred to such a point
that $50 firms of Buda Pesth signed
ideclaration that they would not deal in
Vienna, and the movement was sup
ported In various towns OF Hungary and
I'm Prague. The Vienna Association,
seeing the dangerous extravngance to
which the anti-Semitic agitation had
been carried, petitioned the Emper-
OR to allay it, but the result could not
be avoided. The efforts OF the Jews
lave made the corn market of this year
comparative failure. Instead OF the
5000 merchants of 1888, there have been
but 1000, and II proposition has arisen
also to establish another international
corn market in Paris.
THE wonderful tales of the Arabian
Nights are told aga n in New Mexico.
In the Lincoln Mine, Mt San Pedro,
long productive of very valuable ore,
miners have found cavern about 10J
feet by so feet in extent, whose des are
studded with precio,s stones and metals
quite N the manner of the underground
garden where Aladdin went in obedi
ence to the command of the African ma
clan, and the floor s thickly strewn
with gems and ore bear ng pebbles, just
like Sinbad's Valley of Diamonds The
company only lately refused S2.0,0O0
for this nine, and are now hugeing
( themselves to think that they did so.
The camp is crazy with excitement, and
everybody fancies that he sees diamonds
as big as hens eggs hanging on the
trees and sparkling from the beds of
streams.
Mr.. JAMES M. SwANK,. in his report
on the mineral resources of the United
States for 1883, states that throughout
the world there are mined every year
more than 50,000,000 tons of iron ore
and more than 450, ,000,0 600 tons of coal.
vi the iron ore Great Britain contrib
utes about 29 per cent, the United
States "a per cent, and Germany q per
cent, these three countries thus fur
nlshing about IA per cent. of the total
amouLt produced The same three
countries furnish togther over so per
cent. OF all the coal raised, Great Brit
ain having produced last year about
1863, GOO, 900 tons, America about 129,-
OON 900 tons, and Germany about S0,-
O0O, 900 tons.
OREGoN is beginning to push Califor-
mia in the honey business. Pretty soon
it will begin to come East, for already
there is more made there than is needed
for local use. Dealers say the Oregon
product is richer than the California
article. 1t comes from wild flowers on
the mountains, and the bees gather it
into the trees with all the industry of an
Eastern bee that has learned to hustle
in Western fashion. Some of the swe ct
stuff is hard to get at, since woods are
accessible only by narrow trails, but it
ID found in such large quantities that it
pays to go for it.
The sight Of Japan taking long
strides in advance of it in modern things
has stirred up China, says an exchange.
The young Emperor is credited with some
ideas less than 1000 years old. The
government has decided to inaugu ate
great railroad system to cover in some
measure the entire country. The Amer
lean style of equipment and manage.
ment has been given the preference over
the European. While the government
will control, it is expected to enlist ma
tive capital and overcome the objections
of the conservatives, who want no inno-
vations.
SAYS London correspondents: "There
are only two courses now open to Bou-
LANCER. He must either return to
France in the avowed character of an
enemy to the Republic OF retire per-
manently from public life. If he does
the former bloodshed and disorder will
mark his path; if he quietly submits to
his overthrow at the polls his followers
will consider him weakling. He
seems to be between Scylla and Charyb-
dis"
THE Author states that the editor of
Harper's Magazine selects for publica-
tion each year about seventeen manu-
script stories, and rejects annually be-
tween fifteen and sixteen Thousand. The
magazine is published at yearly cost
of $3.50, 900 for original literary matter,
and the work of artists and engravers.
This sum does not include the expenses
OF printing or publishing the maya
zine.
EVERYONE who takes the slightest in
terest in natural history will be sorry to
learn that the kangaroo is in danger of
being extinguished. It's skin is so valu-
able that large numbers of young kan
Qaroos are killed ff6 hioh authorities
are of the opinion that, unless the pro-
cess is stopped, Australians will soon
have seen the last of this interesting
animal.
THE Germans are distinguished for
their love of titles. The climax in this
direction was reached q few days ago in
Darmstadt, when the Grand Duke Gre
ated man "Court Sauer- Kraut Cutter"
Hereafter he must be addressed, accord
ing to custom, as "Mr. Court Sauer-
Kraut Cutter" and he will be offended
unless the title is used.
MISS SUSAN B. ANTHONY has petit
toned the New York committee on the
Worlds Fair asking that the women of
the "New Word" be allowed the use of
one of the permanent buildings of the
Exposit on in which to celebrate the
virtues Of Queen Isabella while the men
are doing honor to Columbus.
