y DESCRIPTION of the new Croton
sqUeduct, given in the Century, helps to
give some idea of the magnitude of
the work by comparing it with railroad
tunnels. It is slightly smaller in diam
eter than these tunnels, but very much
longer. The Hoosac tunnel is p, 900
feet long; the Mont Gents miles long;
the St GOthard, 81 miles; while the
new Crotou aqueduct will be nearly 30
miles long. 1t is very much greater
work in every way than the old Roman
aqueducts, about which so much has
been written, but less is heard of it be
cause it has been built IN this day OF
great things.

The Latest Lost Aeronaut.

1t was Joseph Lawrence, otherwise
J. l.. Van Tassell, who made the fatal
parachute drop on the 16th ultimo, and
not Professor u. V. Van Tassell. The
honolulu papers have nothing to say
about the ill-Iated aeronaut being de-
Youred by sharks, but say that he was
drowned and the tody not recovered.
Joseph Lawrence (pI Occasionally Pro-
fesSor j. J.. Van Tasseil) was native
of Salem, Ohio. He has been connect
ed with Professor L. A Van Tassell
for six months past, during which time
lie has made several parachute jumps
and made four straight balloon ascen-
: Ons. On one occasion, in San Fran-
cisco, while he was ascending for a
parachute jump. the rope became twist
d, and he could not jump. The bal
Icon scared upward to such a height
that the over-inflation caused a split in
the talloon and it descended with the
aeronaut from height of 5000 feet; he
fell with such force as to lie stunned.
The young man was about twenty-siX
Years of age, and leaves a mother, two
brothers and three sisters. The HG-
tCGiidn Commercial Gazette says, in re-
ference to the Honolulu ascension: "a
strong IT de WIND was blowing off
shore at the time, and the certainly of
the balloon and parachute be ng blown
# TO sea should have led to the adop-
tIon of some safeguard in case of ne
cessity. The most natural among
others would have been for the aero
naut to have put on or taken with him
a light life preserver, which is said to
have been provided for him, but which
he decliGed to take, and secondly, for
those in cha ge to have had a small
steamer ready to furnish timely aid i'll
the event OF being carried out 10 sea.
The lesson to be learned from this ia al
disaseer is that Honolulu is not the place
for balloon ascenslons."

BABES in Arabia Felix:
. Roval babv's first toilet in Arab

A Royal baby's first toilet in Arabia,
consists in winding a bandage about its
BODY, after 1t has been bathed and per-
fumed. The little creature is then
placed on its back, its arms and feet
are Strengthened, and the entire body
is swathed to the shoulders. In this
position 1T remains motionless forty
days, but the bandages are removed
twice a day, that the child may have a
bath. The Arabs believe that this pro-
cess will make the body straight for
life. If the child be girl, on the sew
enth day after her birth, holes, usually
six in number, are pricked in her ears,
and when she is two months old heavy
gold rings are attached to them, to be
worn throughout her lifetime, except
during periods of mourning for rel
atlyes.
On the fortieth day the baby's head
is shaved This operation Is considered
a very important one, and thirty or
forty persons are witnesses of 1t, for
the performance of certain rites The
disposal of the first hair Is regarded as
a very weighty matter; 1t must not be
burned or carelessly thrown away, but
buried, thrown into the sea, or hidden
in some crevice or wall This fortieth
day marks turning point in the child
life. Heretofore it has only been seen
by its parents, the slaves on duty, and
a few intimate friends of the family;
now, however, it may be seen by any
body, and is regarded as fairly launched
on the tide of exis. ence.
Several charms are attached to Its
BODY for protection against the ''ev1l
eye," boys wearing them to certain
age, and girls still longer. The favour
te charm consists of gold or silver
locket worn on o chain

THE city of Wheeltng owns its own
gas works, and furnishes gas to con-
sumers ut 20 cents per 1000 feet. The
cost Of making and distributing the ga
is 3jt cents per 100 feet. Out of the
profits the public buildings and the
streets are lighted without charge,
and last year S2T, 600 was turned into
the City Treasury. In the light Of this
