british Capital in NIexieo.

Mexican FinancierI
In recent issues we have noted the
organization of number of new Brit
ism companies for mining aud other
operations here, and, If, during the
remaining weeks of the year, the
same proportion of companies should
be formed tor business in this country
the list of British-American compa-
MES will be as long as that of 1883.
British capital seeking investment
here flows in two channels, mining
undertakings and land purchases. 1t
would not be surprising, however, If,
following heexample of many firms in
the United States, some mercantile
and manufacturing concerns here
should reorganize as stock companies
of limited liability, British capital be-
ing invested therein. There are I'M
doubtedly some excellent opportuni-
ties for this sort of investment which
have as yet not attracted the atten-
tion of the industrious and ingenious
promoters of companies. 1t Is to be
borne in mind, by any one studying
the growth of British capital entering
Mexican Investments, that the forma-
ton of new companies does not indi-
cate with precision the real amount of
capital placed here. A great deal of
money comes over the ocean for
private investment and never re-
ceives mention in the public jour-
nails. If the favorable opinion
entertained of Mexico in England
continues, and we see no reason for
the slightest abatement of the conf
dence of the British investor in this
country, the total British take In
Mexico will, in very few years,
equal the amounts placed by the
same bold and successful nation in
Chill and Brazil. There are two ad-
vantages which Mexico has to offer to
the British investor, and these are
matters which, by tradition and ex-
perience, he is inclined to regard with
a high degree of favor; we refer to
Mexico's metallic currency and her
strong law-enforcing government.
Another point which has not escaped
the attention of the English people is
the neighborhood of Mexico to a tre-
mendous country like United Staets
which today offers this country the
best market for tropical products on
the globe. Ten years from now when
the 81 ,000, 900 Inhabitants of the Great
Republic shall have grown to So, 000,-
COO, the resources of Mexico will have
to be thoroughly developed to meet
the demands of the northern market.
The Anglo-Saxon nation across the
Atlantic is largely investing its capt.
tai here because it believes that Mex
leo will share in the prosperity of the
Anglo-Saxon nation this side the
ocean.

Is Consumption Conquered at Last?

Consumption is foe which has
blanched the cheek of many man

the lannon's mouth. Insidioua. in
exorable, pitilessly winding Its slow
coils around the citadel Of life, it
shares in the universal human heart

many it frightens more. Scarcely a
train leavea great city but bears some
pauic.stricken fugitive fieeting the
dreaded phanten. At one time
they hurry to Minnesota, at another
to Florida. They hide in caves, they
seek the mountain tops, they breathe
the healing odor of pine forests, they
cross the seas. The fashion changes
but their flight never ceases.
No wonder, then. that the alleged
discovery by Prof. Koch of a method
of curing this dread disease should
have instantly arrested the attentio u
of the world. 1t would be premature
to pronounce on the merits of this
discovery-it is almost too soon even
to hope that such discovery has
been made. At the same time it must
be allowed that this new con-
tribution to therapeutics has been
launched upon the world in way

Venice and stolen Property.

Venice, in fact, is one vast museum
of stolen property. A self.righteous
inscription over the gateway of st.
Marks informs the visitor, with much
show of conscious probity, that the -four
famous antique bronze horses above the
portal, removed by the rapacity of
the enemy TO Paris " under Napoleon
l., were again restored to their proper
place by that incorruptble champion of
strict international morality, Emperor
Francis. Butthat glorious team, work
of sculptors of the Neronian age, had
previously been stolen, in the thir-
teenth century, by the Doge Danidolo
from Constantinople, whittier they had
been carried from Rome, for his own
glorification, by Constantine the Great,
who had filched them himself from the
triumphal arch of Trajan, who in turn
had borrowed them, as seems probable,
from the similar monument of his prede-
cessor, Nero. Such are the humors
of the world and whirligigs of time.
Indeed, if every man had his own
again, one might almost say there
would be no Venice. The column of
st. Mark, with its winged lion, would
go back to Syria; the square pillars by
the Doge's palace would return once
more to st. Saba, Ptolemais; the ala
baster supports of the inner canopy

Thrift in France.

We have all by this time a pretty
accurate notion of the Effel Tower.
RECONSTRUCTED in silver, the money
value of this modern Babel would
| amount to two milliards of francs.
Some idea of mlliard may be gained
by the fact that as yet since the Chris
tian era not milliard of minutes have
elapsed. Well, two stages more would
have to be added to an Eiffel Tower ia
silver in order to represent the savings
of the French people now deposited in
the "Casse d'epargne," of savings
banks. Dry as statistics are usually
| supposed to be, such comparisons as
these appeal to the Imagination. In
aginary they are not, but emanate from
the highest statistical authority in
| France-namely, NJ de Foville, the
eminent Chef du Bureau de Statstique
du Ministere des Finances. The saw
ings banks and postal banks combined
now number 100000 deposits, repre-
senting, as we have seen, two miliards
and eight hundred millions of francs
Thrift in France, as in England, is
combated by one foe-the cabaret. In
the words of M. de Foville, war to
the knife is waged in every French
town and village between the savings
bank and the public house. In GER
tain communes of Brittany the estab-
lishment of branch savings banks has
been temporarily abandoned, so deter
mined is the hostility on the other
side. The annual outlay on the spirits,
| liquors, absinthe, etc., amounts to half
milliard of francs; that on tobacco to
nearly as large a sum. M. de Foville
concludes his summary with these wise
words " Pauperism, for which so
many seek utopian remedies, will
never disappear, rest assured of it, till
driven out of the world by thrift

An Immense Egg Farm.

The Farrollone Islands are about
thirty miles from the mouth of San
Francisco Bay, off the coast of Cali
fornia, and are the homes of innumer-
able sea fowls. When San Francisco
began to blossom out as a city her
constant cry was for eggs. There be-
ing no poultry raisers on the coast made
the egg want one hard to crafty. To
supply this want the project of stealing
the eggs of the guls and muhrs that
nest by the thousand on the Farrallone
Islands was tried, and proving success
full, has ever since been one of the
unique west coast industries The
birds of the island are too plentiful to
count or even estimate, as may be in
ferred from the fact that the egg gath
erers often bring in 500 dozen eggs per
day. This, however, gives but a par
tial idea of their immense numbers, a
great many of the nests being inacces-
sible and many others devasted by the
rivalry of the birds themselves. The
egg business of the islands is conducted
by company, who pay the collectors
five cents dozen for gathering them.
The season is from May to August,
which, even at 400 dozen day, makes
the annual harvest about 800, 900 eggs

Men Who Live in Trees.

DR.. Louis Wolf, who made the sem
sational discovery awhile ago that the
Sankakurn river afforded more direct
and more easily-navigated route to Cen
trail Africa than the Congo, made
another discovery in the course of the
same journey which was quite as re-
markable if not so important. On the
banks of the Lomami river, far toward
the center of the continent, he says
he found whole villages that were
built in trees. The natives, partly to
protect themselves f;om the river when
in food, and partly to make it more
difficult for their enemies to surprise
them, build their huts on the limbs of
trees, where the thick foliage almost
completely hides The structure from
view. The inmates possess almost the
agility of the monkeys, and they climb
up to or descend from their houses with
astonishing ease. 1t is believed that
they are the only Africans yet known
who live in trees. In Borneo some of
the natives are said to live in trees, and
Mr.. Chalmers, in his book on New
Guinea, tells of number of tree
houses that he visited on that island.
These huts, which are built near the
tops of very high trees, are used for
lookout purposes or a place of refuge
for women and ildren in case of at
tack. They are perfect little huts,
with sloping roofs and platforms in
front, to which extends the long ladder
by means of which the natives reach
their huts. Mr.. Gill describes one of
these houses which was used as a resi-
dence. He says that it was well built,
but that ii rocked uncomfortably in the
wind.-Selected.
