 Lack of work is 70 keealy and generally felt in the towns and provinces of Italy that the projects and royal governors are issuing vigorous proclamations calling upon all own- err of property to scrape up some kind of employment for the unoccupied, who arc literally psnniless and at the door of starva- ton.
 The government of St. Domingo, which claims to have the only original bones of Co., lumbus, is desirous of forwarding them to tho United States for use in 1892, provided there be given in return for them $20, ,000, cash down, and 20 per cent. of the receipts on public exhibition of the same. Cheap enough.
 The measure passed by the lower house of the Virginia legislature to ascertain the amount of taxes paid by negroes Is said to be preparatory to movement to give the col ored people only such schools as can be sup ported by the taxes they pay. This was urged in the last campaign by prominent Demo crats. Nothing could be meaner and more unwise than such action.

NEW NAVAL WEAPONS.

Jules Verne's imagination has been made fact by the ingenious constructors of subma- rine vessels. Several apparently very suc- cessful inventions of this kind are now being tested in Europe. A Spanish torpedo boat Is attracting 6 great deal of attention. It can be submerged to any desired depth and raised again at will; 1t can be kept perfectly horizontal in the water; 1t can be propelled backward and forward under water at a fair speed; the torpedoes can be discharged with great accuracy and with perfect ssfsty to the boat. and the boat can cruise under water at the rate of six knots an hour. On tho occa- sion of one trial 1t remained under water for forty minutes and then appeared again at the surface, three and half miles away from the spot whsre 1t was submerged. The new French boat, the Gymnote, is equally effee- tive. She is spindle-shaped, sixty-avs feet long and six feet beam, she weighs thirty three tons and is driven by Afty-hve horse power electric engine. At given signal at . recent trial the vessel gradually disap- psarsd and was sunk about seven feet below the surface 70 that her movements could be traced. The boat made several runs, and re- mained about quarter of an hour unde, water. Her course was directed by gyro- scope, but she left no trace of her passage on the surface. She remained on the trial fully four hours, three experts and ono seaman constituting the crew, and at the close of the experiments the air in the interior was ''aa easily brsathed as at the beginning" The Nordenfeldt boat, tried only short time age
 in Southampton, England, was said to hay.
 been success. She is steel vessel sixty feet long, and carried . crew of four mon who proved that they could live under watel for moro than six hours by being supplied with compressed air.
 Those who go down to the sea in warship will have reason to be troubled when thel
 are obliged to!aght. They can be suddenl!
 and violently surprised by being blown 'sk! high" by one of these vicious submarine tor psdo boats. It bids fair to be as dangerou l to fight on the sea as on the land.

A NOTABLE PETITION.
 Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love, and it is an appropriate place for the forma- ton of an association to do what can bs done to improve the condition of prisoners in Siberia. This association has prepared . petition which it will circulate through the United States and then present to the czar. The petition Is rather queer one. It refers to the friendliness of the two nations, says that we do for ourselves what it is the prov tnos of the ear to do f9r & Rgsst ths end. lasd kinas If Both agasovsS 4aaptsi iahs,asndhe sslne, fhe stssngthH hHs and true grandeur of the state and the welfare and happiness of the people. It refers to the good will of Russia in our civil war, compares Lincoln and Alexander II, who, by kindred deeds of humanity, and through common martyr dom, linked their countries together by enc during ties, and then proceeds zas follows: That your majesty will personally ytskel note sof swidespread interest among us in the s~orkihgs and effects of the Siberian exile system. We do not forget the penal reforms already accomplished in the Russian empire. We arc not blind to the mental and physical sutferings that, of necessity, are . part of any system of punishment for crime against individuals, society or state; nor are we unmindful of the need of reforms which are actively engaging the attention of philan- thropists in our own methods of dealing with convicts. In this we are but giving expression to the feeling of friendly peo- pie, that in the punishmens of some of her subjects Russia, whether from causes pe- ouliar to her people or on account of ans olsnt custom, is not in all points in har- mony with the humanizing sentiments of the age.
 Probably this petition will receive numer. ous signatures. Perhaps 1t will reach the ozar and perhaps not, and if it does it will probably not do much good. The ozar may look upon it as a very impertinsnt and un. warranted performance.

out that, while the Pullman palace car oom- pany was assessd in 1874 at $2, 100, ,OOO, in 1888 the company paid taxes on only $285, ,OOO.

 The question raised in Minnesota and sev- eral other western States by the laws design- ed to shut out dressed beef sent from Chicago and Kansas City will como before the courts of Virginia in new form. The western laws, all of which have been pronounced un- constitutional and void, forbade the sale in the State of beef that had not been inspected Con the hoof" in the State. The law that has been enacted in Virginia provides that all beef from animals killed 100 miles from the place where it is offered for sale shall be inspected by county officers, to whom the owners of the beef shall pay fee of one cent pound. This imposes on beef from other States tariff duty of one cent a pound for the protection of the local butchers and own- CTS of beef cattle.
 They feel quite comfortable in Chicago. Thus saith the Herald of that city: New York herself would never have had the energy to put in claim for it but for the fear she felt that her primaoy among Ameri- can cities was trembling in the balance. The position of Chicago therefore will be in any case greatly altered and improved before the country and the world. She has become in the eyes of all the predsstined first city and capital of the American continent. New York is to be the porter's lodge, at the gate way of the continent, and Chicago the na- tional palace of trade, wealth, fashion and culture. Chicago will never. again need to solicit worlds fair or any other national celebration or festival whatever. She vii only need to spread her lap and catch the favors which nature will shower into 1t.
