New York sum A cloud of smoke
which poured up one corner OF the
banquet room and then spread tseli
over the ceiling preceded the dinner oi
the Legal Protective Association OF
CIgar Manufacturers at Delmonico' 5
last evening. President Heyman ncalled
the assemblage to order and intro
duced David llirsh, who, in speaking
Tor The Cigar Industry" referred to
Col. lngersoll as n divine who had
dignliied the gathering with his pres
ence. Col. lngersol kissed his hand i'm
recognition OF the cheers with which
this compliment to him was greeted.
Gen. Woodlford had sonnet hing to
say Tor "Our Commerce" in which he
referred to his near neighbor as the
Rev. Robert q. lngersoll, and remarked
that time had hung both their scalps
to his grtlle.
Col. Ingersoll spoke for Tobacco. ="
"As to badness being sign of age"
he SAID, "the youngest persons | ever

about the use OF tobacco; thousands

Think OF waiting for "a train without

All Use tobacco and are the better for

Growth of American Cities.

1t is clear that the cities of the United
States have grown fast enough, although
the larger of them have scarcely equaled
the general rate of increase throughout
the country. No other nation on earth
has more than one city containing mil
lion inhabitants, not even the great
British Empire with Its 800, 900, 600 peo-
pie and ones sixth of the land surface Of
the globe. The estimates which give
other Chinese cities than Canton 1,000,-
900 inhabitants or upward are unreliable,
and not to be placed beside census figures.
There are now certainly two cities in the
United States which have more than one
million inhabitants, and Chicago, thanks
to the annexation of great suburban dis
tricts, will probably either pass Phila-
delphia or be right on the heels of the
Quaker City, making three American
cities above the million line. New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago together have
more people than there were in the
United States at the close of the Revolu-
ton. Ten cities of the Great Republic
have nearly 1000, 900 inhabitants, and a
bakers dozen can be picked out with
about as many people as there are in
Ireland and Scotland together, or in
Switzerland, Greece and Denmark COM

promise that he would pay them bonus

An Ingenious Indicator of Speed.

An ingenious contrivance for indicat-
ing the speed of railway trains is a French
invention. The apparatus consists OF
simply putting in play cord giving q
normal musical note. Connected with
this is an arm carrying stylus which
marks its vibration upon piece of paper
covering a cylinder, which turns by its
own weight All this mechanism is in o
small box, which can easily be placed
among the ballast between the sleepers,
and which begins to register the moment
train reaches it, and begins to pass over
it. Additional features consist of tubes
secured to three wooden pedals placed
along the outside of one of the rails.
When the wheels passes pedal, little
cork button placed in hole in the pedal
is forced down, and the air which is
compressed raises valve and sets
spring vibrating. The wheel acts sim
ilarly upon the other pedals, and the re-
suit Is that three marks are made upon
the cylinder, which indicate the begin
ming, the middle and the end of the
operation. The three pedals are two
metres apart, so that there is space of
six metres covered by the system. The
speed of the train is then determined by
the number of vibrations indicated,
which, through the known number of
vibrations per second given by the musi-
cal note, can be readily ascertained, as
the more rapidly the train runs over the
distance between the pedals the smaller
will be the number of vibrations traced
on the cylinder. Convenient tables are
prepared, showing to the practical OBJ
server the exact relation the readings
have to the speed. Commercial Adver-
tiser.
