The World,s Tsllest Chimners.

The tallest chimney in the United
States, says the Boston Globe, is claimed
by Kearney, near Newark, N. j., it
being 1856 feet high, IS feet in diameter
at the base, and containing no less than
]. 697 COO bricks. Enormous as SOME
Of the American smoke shafts are, they
are but pigmies BESIDE those in the told
country" Scotch md English chimneys,
it seems, are famous for their cloud-reach-
ing peculiarities. At the Dobson s.
Barlow mills, Bolton, England, there is
an cctagon stack, 1884, feet in height and
over 80 fee; in diameter at the base.
Glasgow, Scotland, is famous for its tall
chimneys. ,Fennnt Sc Co. have one
which runs up 4s55 feet, with base Of
80 feet, 'ghile the great Townshend
stack, in tile came city, towers 46S feet
into the all from the foundation, with
big lase measuring SO feet in d.
ameter. This is generally spoken of as
the tallesi chimney in the world, al
though tho men of Paisley declare that
they nave one $40 feet high. In Hal
flax, lsughind, there is an octagon tower
rising 3S1 feet, With base of 80 feet
and weighing 10000 tons. In Bradford
there is a stoIe shaft rising 800 feet
above the ground being nine feet at the
summit. At tbeshel foundry of Wool
wich Arsenal thae is a chimney 223 feet
shove the grouni and 16 feet below it,
with a Portland stone cap weighing
seventeen tons. At the Edinburgh Gas
Works there is ole rising BAL feet into
the air, and Hsidersield has a cirular
shaft Of S21 fee.
In France the tallest smokestacks are
built of iron, tie most notable being
two at the Cruso! works, one being 1877
feet high, and tt other 27g feet. Liver
pool, too, has OF, cloud TOUGHER in the
shape of 3 chimney at Musprat's works
z06 feet high
Taken BY themselves, these attitudes
do not, perhaps, convey any very striking
idea to the reader, but when placed in
comparison with the height of other
structures it viii been seen that they
rank among tie highest constructions of
the world In fact, there are but two or
three of the r,markable columns, monu-
ments, towers, ETC., that lift their heads
above the highest of these tall ehimneys.
The Washington Monument is only 55
feet higher than the Paisley chimney,
and only one pyramid, that of Cheops, is
higher than the Townshend smokestack
in Glasgow. The Dartholdi statue, which
is 329 feet high, IS II feet shorter than
the chimney of the Edinburgh gas works,
while the towers of Notre Dame, Paris,
the porcelain tower, China; the spire of
Trinity Church, New York, and the lofty
tower Of St Botolph's Church, Boston,
England, are all exceeded in height by
the Bradford stone shaft. The City
Hall tower, Philadelphia, is only thirty
seven feet higher than the Paisley smoke
stack, while Dobson s. Barlow's chimney
Is nearly twice as high as the leaning
tower Of Pisa, and is eighty feet higher
than the dome of the Capitol at Washing
ton.

4 Chinese custom practised at San
Francisco is the throwing into the ocean
of thousands Of pieces of paper when
friends are about to sail away. Each
paper bears, in Chinese characters, a
prayer. At a recent sailing the women
sat on the dock and uttered these paper
appeals to the sea gods, the friends on
the steamer doing the same thing.

A BOYS Diet.

The food of growing boys, and espe-
cially of those who are students, demands
careful attention. While they should not
be allowed to cram themselves with all
sorts Of gweets and rich things, neither
is a meakre fare at all advisable. The
following is the dietary of one of our
better boarding schools; Breakfast-Oat-
meal, with an abundance of pure milk,
bread and butter, little meat or eggs,
but not both. Lunch-Fruit, rolls, buns,
Albert biscuits, milk, PANIED oysters, in
season or sardines. Dinner-This meal
should be served after study hours, and
should consist of at least four courses: A
light soup, two kinds of meat, potatoe.
and another vegetable, salad with crack
ers and cheese, and plain nounshini
budding. If the dinner is served EARL,
than o'clock, we would suggesta wal
with a tumblerful of milk at 8. As
boys require fat, and universally disli
fat meat, leaving it on their plates, it
well to give them light suet buildings o.
similar dishes, with fats nicely blended
iroughout.-Nels York Dispatch.

How a Free Library Pars.

One OF tho ,hniest institutions in this
city, says the New York Star, is the Mott
Memorial Library. DR.. Valentine Mott
left it behind him because he could not
conveniently carry it into another world,
and it has since been maintained as a
public Institution. 1t IS strictly medical.
chiefly surgical, almost entirely confined
TO the period Of twenty-five years ago.
The library and various busts and por-
traits Of its original owner are housed in
adelightful old brlck mansion in Madison
avenue. The books are carefully locked
in eases aud seldom consulted. Mean
while the whole house Is exempt from
taxation. OF course it Is wicked to tax
free library The rooms in which the
unused library Is situated, however, are
rented, doubtless at a fair price, in the

The Sound OF Light.

One of the most wonderful discover
les in science that have been made
within the last year or two is the fact
that Il beam of light produces sound,
says the Americdn Art Journal. A
beam of sunlight is thrown through u
lens on glass vessel that contains
lampback, colored silk or worstcd, or
other substances. A disk having Sits
or openings cut in il is made to rcvolve
swiftly in this beam of light, so as to
cut it up, thus making alternate flashes
of light and shadow. On putting the
ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam
is falling on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight
is made to pass through a prism. so as
to produce what is called the solar
spectrum or rainbow. The disk is
turned, and the colored light of the
rainbow is made TO break through it..
Now. place the ear to the vessel con-

An Incident.

George ID. Barrows. seth H., says
that the picket lines in front OF Peters
burg were so close together that the
pickets would have TO be relieved mt
night, as the slightest sound on one
side would bring the fire from the
other. One hot day in July the boys
on each side drew so heavily from
their canteens that they were soon ex-
hausted, and in the afternoon all were,
OF course, very thirsty. The lines
were about 40 rods apart and just be-
tween them was little branch of the
James river. The water looked so
tempting that one of the boys called
out, johnny, give me drink" The
answer came, "All right; flirt your
shirt and come ahead The PROPOSE
ton took, end in spite of the yelling of
the officers, nearly every bayonet on
each side showed something white,
and in less than 10 minutes about
every Yank and Johnny was filling his
canteen. When this was done there
was the usual trading of tobacco,
coffee and newspapers, with good
natured chatting. About the last to
arrive at the stream was long-legged,
thin, red-haired, freckle-faced Johnny,
and one of the members of the 39th
Ill. sang out, johnny, why didn't you
come sooner?" The Johnny walked
straight up 20 him and drawled out,
How do you know came from North
Carolina?" Then they went at each
other and had regular knockout, the
Johnny getting rather the worst of it.
just as they had compromised and
were shaking hands, one of our shells
burst close by, and in less than five
minutes every man was back in his
place, as anxious to shoot as he had
been ready to shake hands before.

tanning the silk, wool, or other mate
rial. As the cOlored lights of the spec
trum fall upon it sounds will be given
by different parts of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, il the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon it loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard when
the red and blue parts of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no sound at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others. The discovery is a strange one.
and it is thought that more wonderful
things will come from it.

SCHOOLING alone will not make n
good doctor. He must be man with
natural aptitude for his work, AMI with
the education which comes from prac-
teal experience as we'll as that which
is gained in schools. But without the
latter he is apt to be bungler. unless
he is genius of uncommon brilliancy,
and even in that case scientific knowl-
edge acquired in the usual way will
greatly facilitate his progress and in

PUBLIC policy should determine what
kir,d of punishment should be in
flieted on murderers. The leading
object of it should be to lessen the
frequency OF the crime OF taking
human life. The question is not one
of sentiment, but OF eXpediency. Most
persons who have carefully studied
the matter have come to the conclu-
sion that fear OF the death penalty
does prevent many from taking the
life of another.
