J. Hcilister. secretary Of the Chamber OF
Commerce Of that city. says in the Tribune:
.'Comparing Salt Lake City witty Denver.

its proximity 10 the great mountains, and
70 the salt sea, and its possession Of copious
hot springs within its limits, IL seems TO
me that its natural and legitimate field OF
empire Is very much more extensive than
that Of Denver. Denver has the Sierra
Msdre: and section ~ the base thereof
and reaching out on the plains as far as
man can make any use OF the plains,
which IL not . very great distance.

Grand and Green river basin with
Denver. her natural scope will reach from
about Green river on the east 70 the Sierra

only BY the Pacific ocean. II the Denver

Bonds of Lesser Denomination.

The denominations and the distribution
of railway bonds deserve criticism. Ordi-
narily the denominations are $500 and
$1,000, but $40, 900 bonds are not I'M
common and some are issued for $780,
600. These denominations hinder the
wide distribution of the securities among
the people, because they are too large to
secure purchasers among persons of
moderate means. Only the rich can
afford $500 or 81 900 Investments; many
people of less means would gladly invest
in safe railway securities of $50 or 500
denominations.
To reduce the denominations of rail-
way bonds would enlarge materially the
home market for them. 1t would give
the railways a larger constituency of in
terested investors in the territories they
serve, a constituency competent to
restrain in marked degree the excuses
of i'll considered hostile railway legisla-
ton, and to contribute in many ways to
railway stability and prosperity. 1t is
pertinent to inquire who is likely to be
able most intelligently and effectively to
participate in adjusting fairly the fire.

The Output of Our Mines.

1t is very imposing showing that the
bureau of mining statistics makes in its
report of the production of metals in the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value of the output of our mines is set
down at $3.50, 056, 345-fgures whose
significance can only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
partments of production. 1t is difficult
to estimate the amount of labor that
went to the making of this enormous
total. The census of 1880 ranked as
miners some 234, 1888 persons, not includ
ing 7,340 oil well operators, and not
counting at all those engaged in the care
OF mining machinery. It would prob
ably be safe to put at $50, 900 the number
OF those who are now directly engaged
In all departments of mining industry,
and such a calculation may at least serve
as basis for determining the productive
value of the army of laborers thus EN-.
ployed.-The Epoch.

a Popular Boston Chestnut.

The tale is to the effect that DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes and the venerable DR..
Peabody, of Cambridge, once had an ap.
pointment TO see statue OF Eurydice.
DIR. Holmes arrived first, and when q few
moments later his friend drove up in a
cab, no greeted him with the very OBJ.
vious pun:
"Ah, You rid, I see."
Or. Peabody was wonderfully pleased
with this sally, and on his return home
attempted TO repeat it for the benefit Of
his family.
"Dr. Holmes was extremely witty this
afternoon" he said. 1--WE went to see
the Eurydicc, and when I drove up he
said just as quick as fash, 'Ah, doctor.
! see you camo in a buggy"

Preparation of Fruit syrups.

Everybody knows, says NJ. Manche, in
The Archives de Pharmacie, that syrups
prepared from the fresh fruit juices are
far preferable to any others; but that
these syrups in their fresh state contain
q large amount of carbonic acid is uRu-
ally forgotten. When the process usu-
ally in vogue is followed, and sugar is
added to the juices in the cold, liquid
is obtained which soon becomes SO dense
that the acid finds it difficult to mako its
escape when heat is subsequently ap-
piled, and the consequence is foaming,
and sometimes partial caramelizing of
tho sugar, from the fact that the syrup
makes denser layer at the bottom while
the lighter juice is forming on top. To
avoid all this NJ. Manche recommends
That the juice be boiled before any sugar
is added, replacing less from evaporation
by distilled water. The result is said to
be better III every way. Scientific Amer
