PARIsiANs scanned.

Paris, France, was startled by me-
neurological phenomenon. The sun was
shining brightly, the weather cold, and
the wind due north. Suddenly, with
out an instant's warning, it became
dark as night. A black cloud enveloped
the city. Snow fell in binding thick
ness for few moments, then there was
an actual blizzard. Horses trembled and
ran into each other; carts and cabmcn
came into collision. Then the blackness
and snow suddenly vanished as If BY
magic, and the sun shone brightly again,
but in that short space Of time the city
was covered with an inch and half 81
snow.

The New York Herald calculates that
ga single year of failure in agricultural
production would bring famine the like
of which has never been in the history Of
all the centuries since civilization began
and yet we have philosophers posing

vored political party"

1t is asserted by the Rural New Yorker
that ''More sheep and lambs are killed in
New York than in any other city in the

Defending Our Sea Coast.

Lieutenant ZaliAski, who invented the
dynamite gun, and who is genius, says
GIVE me all the gas-pipe aud soda
water fountains that want, and will
defend New York and other seaboard
cities, and the defences will be ready in
surprisingly short time in the opinion Of
the public"
"What would he do with the gas-pipe
and the saltwater fountains?"
snake dynamite guns with them; the
gas-pipe would form the long barrel of
the gun, and compressed air for pro-
peling the dynamite shells could be
stored in the iron cylinders of the soda
water fountains. Zalinski, who'll is a
methodical man, has the situation of
every soda-wat fountain and gas pipe
manufactory marked out on the map of
New York city. The dynamite gun is
certainly success. 1t can throw dv-
Mantle shell with safety, and when such
she'll explodes upon ships deck, its
effect will be terrible. The gun already
has a good range, but look to its hav-
ing greater when it is perfect. BY the
way, there IRE two or three unexploded
dynamite shells lying about on the bot
tom OF New York Bay now, thrown by
Zalinski's gun before he had discovered
how to fire the shells by electricity. 1t
was the theory that the shell, upon strik-
ing the water, would be exploded by
conclusion, but the plan did not work.
Now the shell is exploded In very
simple manner. There is little electri-
cal apparatus on the head OF the shell,
which, when wet by water explodes it.
So that if the shell strikes the water, in
a second 1t is exploded. The shell, in
many cases, would thus explode beneath
o ship although it would be exploded
by conclusion if it should first strike the
ship. Mao York Tribune.

Italy is rearranging her railroad system
on the plan of her great neighbors, SO as
to make it more efficient in carrying

comments the Cincinnati Enquirer, as if

frightful rate since 1870 that every one
who can is running away.
