TEMIzEo INFORMATION:

The longest distance over which CONVEX
| sation byEelephoue is maintained is about
$50 miles, namely, from Portland, Me-, tC
| Buffalo, n. Y.
THE most widely-separated points be-
tween which it is possible to send tele
gram are British Columbia and New Zear
land, via America and Europe.
THE maximum power generated by an
electric motor is seventy-ive horsepower,
but experiments indicate that one hundred
horsepower will soon be reached.
THE fastest time made by an electric rail
way is a mile minute by small expert
mental car; the fastest time yet attained
by street railway system is twenty miles an
hour.
THE four new States bring in an area
about equal to that of all New England
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana combined. II
is an area three times as great as the British
Isles.
A CLoUD-BURsT is a violent downpour OF
rain in large quantity and over very linn
tied area. 1t is caused by the accumulation
of clouds saturated with moisture within a
certain area, until the pressure becomes sc
great that the whole mass of water is sud
denly precipitated, and naturally causes
great destruction.
THE ''Victoria Cross" is a Maltese cross
of bronze, with Queen Victoria's crest in
the center, underneath which is an escroil
bearing the inscription ''For Valor." 1t is
awarded to officers and men in the British
army who show conspicuous bravery in the
presence of the enemy. The order was in
augurated in June, 1856, at the close of the
Crimean war.
AMONG precious stones the ruby, the to-
paZ and the sapphire are composed mainly
of alumina, colored with different earthly
and metallic salts. The diamond is a car
bon crystallized, as everybody knows; the
garnet is mixture of silica and alumina
the opal, silica and water; the turquoise,
phosphate of alumina, colored with salts of
copper, which also turns silicate of mag
nesiainto the cleaning green malachite.
NINETEEN HUNDRED will not be leap
year, because the length of the year is not
exactly 1851 days. 1t is really little less
eleven minutes and fourteen seconds), and
as the difference keeps increasing from
year to year, it is necessary to drop out the
extra day every hundred years or so, to
bring the calendar right. Even this correc-
ton IS not quite exact, but it will serve for
a great many centuries, so there is no press
ing need of reform.
THE wedding anniversaries are named as
follows: First year, cotton wedding; Sec
ond year, paper wedding; third year,
leather wedding; fifth year, wooden we'd
ding; seventh year, woollen wedding;
tenth year, tin wedding; twelfth year, silk
and fine linen wedding; fifteenth year,
crystal wedding; twentieth year, china
wedding; twenty fifth year, silver we'd
ding; thirtieth year, pearl wedding; for
tieth year, ruby wedding; fftleth year,
golden wedding; seventy-ffthy year, diamond
wedding.

Two British AdmiraIs.

The youngest Admiral of the British
fleet is Sir Godfrey Horribly. The
Oldest is sir Provo Wallis, 6. c. B.
Admiral Wallis is ninety-eight years
old. 1t is eighty-ive years just the
year before Trafalgar-since he first
went to sea- And it is more than
seventy-six years since he fought
in that famous sea fight between the
English Shannon and the Chesapeake,
of Boston-the latest fight between
England and her American offspring,
and may it be the last. 1t is pleasant
to think that this grand old seaman,
contemporary of Nelson, is still in fair
health and strength. Cor, Detroit

HE ENJOYED HIMSELF.
How a New York Boarding House Swell
Invested HIS Money.
The facilities which man can en-
Joy in the way of display are very
wide and far-reaching in the immedi-
ate vicinity of New York. An anus
ing instance has fallen under my eye
this summer. l had a casual ac-
quaintance with a man of about thirty
years, who lived in a boarding-house
on Thirty-second street with his young
and pretty wife. They are conven-
tional people in way. The wife is
pretty, shallow, amiable and rather
pretentious. The man is smooth. has
been rather dissipated, loves gaudy
raiment, and has always posed as
sort Of society parsonage without any
tangible claim to the distinction. In
other words he was a clearinghouse
swell. The promoter of a big stock
company took fancy to him some
months ago, gave him a small in
terest in the enterprise he had
in hand, and about the 1st of
June the clearinghouse swell cleaned
up about $4,000 that he had made on
the deal Here was the nest-egg of
comfortable little fortune. Did he save
it? Not he! He Immediately disap-
peared from the face of thirgs munich
pal, and the next thing his friends
heard was that he had rented a place
in the country, and had turned out
bowling swell in fact. What he had
really done was to spend $500 or $500
of his money on clothes, and then take
p house in a fashionable suburb of
New York for the summer. This es-
Enlistment was type of hundreds OF
others that may be had for the money
in this vicinity. 1t is a Queen Anne
villa of pretentious design magnifi-
Gently furnished, with ten or twelve
acres of well-kept grounds, an extern
sive stable. and a complete stock of
horses, dog carts, gigs, fashionable
carriages, and so on. A coachman
and gardener went with the place, and
the cost of the entire outfit for two
months was set by its owner
at 81, $50 The clearinghouse
swell paid over the greater part
of this amount offhand, while the
owner took the money and went
off to see the Paris Exposition. My
friend and his wife drove the horses
and staggered around the neighbOr-
hood as people to the manner born
might have odone-for two months.
Then, August l. they moved back to
the old clearinghouse on Thirty-sec-
Ond street and took up the old lines
again with unwavering good nature
and amiability. Nothing could have
exceeded the placid and dignifed man.
ner tLoy showed when enjoying the
outfit that rightly belonged to a man
with an income of $4,000 or $50, 900 a
year. 1t was pure case of bluff with
them, but they played it out to the
finish and then retired from the game
as grac etully as they had begun.
81 suppose" the erstwhile swell re-
marked the other day. ''that it would
have been better if l had laid that
money away, but always wanted to
roll around loose in a plsc of that
kind, and it was not very expensive

GENERATING SOCIALISM.

The organization of trusts and the
growth of monopolies are assisting very
materially in the building up of social
istic ideas in this country. Without
knowing it, or even suspecting it, we
are gradually drifting toward doctrines
which few years ago we despised, and
which we profess to despise now. The
cry for government ownership of rail
roads and telegraphs is a socialistic one.
When the government controls our
railroads and our telegraphs the step will
be short one toward government con-
troll of other industries. This is to be
the solution of the strained relations be-
tween monopoly and the people. All
the signs of the times point to the ma
tionalization Of everything monopolistic
in its nature al the ultimatum towards
which we are rapidly approaching

paid, and yet no means afforded him of
doing either, no reliable barrier against
starvation but the poor-house-there is
another whom society is wronging and
tempting to wrong.
Still more, when poor widow, her
earthly reliance and solace lately
snatched away by death, finds herself
driven by necessity into some miserable
garnet, there to keep the breath of life
in her shivering children from the
earnings of her needle-at best hardly 25
cents day, however long that day may
be made--from which the food cloth
ing, rent and fuel Of that desolate fam
lily are to be extracted-there is not
merely grievous suffering, but fragrant
wrong, at which angels might weep
tears of indignant commiseration.
Worse still is the case of the young
maiden doomed to poverty and deficient
training in one of our great cities,
thrown early on her own guidance and
exertions, impelled to earn a livelihood
by sewing, book-folding, or any of the
principal avocations of women which at
best affords a bare subsistence-cursed
with ''the fatal gift of beauty" and
with the necessity of constantly expos
ing herself in the pursuit of her humble
calling TO contact with all that is cor
rupt and licentious, and at length
thrown out of employment by the par
alyzing touch of winter, with black me-
cessity drifting her to swift Despair,
while Infamy eagerly proffers life of
dazzling luxury and ease in exchange
for at best one of poverty and toll. That
the exchange is oftener spurned with
horror than accepted is honorable to
human nature; but it is not Arrays
spurned, as the streets and alleys of our
great cities mournfully attest. Ac-
cursed be the necessity which thus
tramples down Virtue! Detested be the
social injustice in which originated the
necessity!
And yet l have heard of such a
mockery of heaven as clergyman ris-
ing before wealthy and fashionable
congregation on Thanksgiving day to
express gratitude that, in this favored
land, every one acho chooses mag earn q
comfortable subsistence! What could the
man have meant? Where were his
eyes? He might as well have given
thanks that no person ever dies here
except by his own hand. | can testify
from personal experience that there is
not always work, even for the skillful
who diligently seek it, much less is
there for the unskilled and simple. That
industry, energy, skill and problty will
eventually lead to competence and re-
spect, may be affirmed without dispute,
but to what purpose? The vital ques-
ton remains: How shall the landless
and virtually homeless eui'1ce these
valuable capacities and thereby secure
immediate employment and ultimate
competence? How shall they live
while they are awaiting the moving of
the waters? 'It is tie first step that
costs!'' 1t is opportunity to exhibit the
desirable qualities and command just
recompense that plead for as the natu-
raj right of all men; and that this is not
now secured is the condemnation of
our existing social order. --Ertract from
Lecture by Horace Greeley.
