practicability of extending the graveled

willing TO give help either in money or
work. If work can be started the battle
is half won.

teen in number, are made of gun iron,
and the teeth are machine-cut, epicy-
cloidal in form. 1t took two of the
most perfect machines in the world 100
days and nights to cut the teeth alone,
and the finish is as smooth as glass.
The wheel is to be driven by pinon
of gun iron containing 80 teeth of
equal pitch and face and will run at a
speed of 600 feet per minute at the in
ner edge, where 1t will be equipped
with 4oS steel buckets that viii lift the
'tailings" as the machine revolyes and
discharge them into the lake. The
shaft of the wheel is Of gun iron. and
its journals are Y inches in diameter
by 3 feet 4 inches long. The shaft is
made in three sections and is 80 inches
In diameter in the outer center.
AT first glance the great wheel looks
like an exaggerated bicycle wheel, and
it is constructed much on the same
principle, with straining rod that run
10 centers cast on the outer section of
the shaft. The steel buckets on either
side OF the gear are each 4 feet IL

MRS. MlKADO.
The Japanese Empress Evidently Clever,
Kind Little Woman.

Her imperial majesty is not quite on
the crest Of the wave that is bearing
her humber sisters onward in Japan,
says the London queen. She was not
educated abroad or according to for
eign ideals aud she knows only a few
words in English. Her culture il high
ly and perfectly japanese. The Gull
ture of a japanese lady is very like a
minute and wonderful growth of flowers
within the compass of fnger-ring.
She can play tender strain on her
fayorite musical instrument. She can
paint with grace and elegance. She
can read the Chinese written charac-
ter, and she is perfect repository of
social and ceremonial tradition. She
can write that wonderful japanese
poetry which it takes so many years to
learn. One OF her ladies-in-waiting is
styled the chief poetess. The duties of
the chief pOetess are not strictly deiin-
ed, but it is understood that she is
sort of lightning conductor for intro
ducing inspired ideas TO her imperial
mistress, and she enjoys the privilege
of correcting the proofs of her majesty's
poetical illusions.
Whatever may be thought of the real
personal quality OF the empress SYM
patty with western civilization there
is no doubt of her desire to help its pro-
gress in Japan, especially those move
ments which affect the softer sex. She
encourages the education OF the ''com-
ing women who are beginning to
wrinkle their small foreheads over
higher mathematics and materia medi-
ca, and she listens with exemplary I'M
comprehending patience to essays upon
the genius of Browning in academies
with imported instructresses. She
takes an interest in the new arts
and the new music which the west is so
kindly trying to teach Japan. She is a
deyout believer in her Shinto faith,
but she looks with pleased tolerance
on the efforts OF Christian missionaries.
She often goes to the hospitals and
watches with keen attention even the
surgical operations, while many stories
are told OF her kindnes to the sufferers
there.
Ten years ago, under the customs
then prevailing the empress stared inn
passiyely into the space Immediately
surrounding the PROSTATE inquire OF the
person enjoying the honor of presenta-
ton to her. like japanese doll on ex-
hibition for its inability to wink. Now
she smiles and bows, and to certain
privileged people she gives her hand.
Two chamberlains and the court physi-
clan still sit at the door of the state
diniug-room to taste the dishes and to
expire first in polite indication to their
imperial majesties that the cook has
put strychnine in them; but the official
banquets now begin with soup and end
with sweets, in total supervision of the
old Japanese system, which began with
sweets and ended with soup. Their
imperial highnesses occasionally go out
to dine with some of their subjects of
sufficiently exalted rank, but even on
these occasions the chamberlains and
the court physician accompany their
maiesties to act as taSters of the dishes
prepared in the entertainers kitchen.

BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND.
Steady Decrease in the Rate Principal
Cause of Loss of Vision.

The number of the blind in the United
Kingdom according to the last census
was 81. 296, being at the rate of $40
blind persons per 1000, 900 Of the gem
eral population rs compared with $50
in 1871, g64 in 1861, and l ,02l in 1851.
The decrease in blindness would thus
appear to be gradual but steady, says
the London Times even allowing for
the fact that many who have very de-
feetiye sight and are practically blind
object to return themselves as such.
The number of those OF school age in
England and Wales is LILO. or one
thirteenth. a surprisingly small pro-
portion, which points to the fact, well
known to the specialists, that blindness,
as a rule superyenes in later life, the
average are OF the blind being 49,
Their general condition has been much
improved OF late years, owing TO the
prevalence of more enlightened
notions and the increase of special in-
situations. But the commissioners re-
mark that, ia spite OF the large charita-
bile funds and phiIaurophic efforts de-
voted to their welfare. they feel con-
WINGED much may be done to better the
condition OF the blind and render them

at present.

INFLUENZA SOMETIMES FATAL.
Paris Hospitals Overcrowded and Tents
Put Up for Patients.

The epidemic has assumed q graver type In
Paris and many cases are now complicated with
pneumonia. In consequence Of the constantly
increasing crowd at the hospitals the authori-
ties are erecting tents for the sufferers. The
undertakers are overworked and many of their
employees are down. In consequence of the in
crease in the number of funerals the system of
draping the churches with enormous hangings
Of black and the expensive parade of various
emblems Of woe has been dispensed with by
authority. The official return of deaths for
the week gives two hundred more deaths than
for the preceding week.

managers OF the gas works have notified con-
sumers that the supply will be short tor a time,

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE ACCOUNTS.
Examination of the ex-President of the
League.

The examination of Jas. P Foster, ex-presi-
dent of the republican league Of the United
States, was continued in New York yesterday in
the referee suit Of Tallmage l. Martin against
7. G. Lounsbury, as treasurer of the league, to
recover S1l, 500 for stationery supplies and
printing furnished during the campaign of
1885, Mr.. Foster was called ON behalf of the
plaintiffs to show that the league authorized
the contract. The general drift Of his testi-
mony was to prove that such was the case.
The plaintiffs offered in evidence a report of
the auditing committee appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee at Baltimore, but the de-
PENDANT objected on the ground that the COM
mittee was appointed for the sole purpose of
passing upon the accounts of Mr.. Foster. 1t
was alleged by the defendant that the bill of
the plaintiffs had been smnggled into this COM
mittee and passed upon without authority.
The referee reserved decision upon the admis-
sion of the report as evidence.

are painted red and white. At the top, where
the ladder tapers to point. there is a square
block of rubber, 80. that when the ladder is
placed against window, on account of the size
of the block and the elasticity of the rubber,
