erly Used for Preserving Fires.
From the Cornhill Magazine
There exist still few--a very few
contriyances for this perpetual fire in

not in England but it is in the atrium
outside the remarkable church of s.
Ambrogio at Milan. 1t is block of
white marble on u nodded base, now
broken, but banded together with iron.
1t stands feet 10 inches high, and is
feet inches in diameter at top. 1t con-
sists of Il fiat surface in which are de-
pressed nine cup-like hollows. These
were originally filed with oil, and wicks
were placed in them and ignited.
.@-In England one is still in stu, in the
Church of Lewannick, in Cornwall.
There it is not far from the door. 1t
consists of Il circular block containing
on it's flat upper surface, which is %
inches across, cup-like hollows ~
inches deep. The stone stands on Il
rudely nodded base, octagonal, and is III
all about , feet & inches high. In
Furness Abbey, among the ruins, has
been found another, with 5 cups i'll it !;
at Calder Abbey another, with is such
cups for oil ana wicks. At York is an

DETECTIVE CLUB.

The badge was made of brass with
raised letters. 1t was four inches wide
and one-half inch thick.
Following his dramatic utterancc he
pulled CLUB, pair of handouts and a
revolver from the recesses Of his great
coat.
The boys began to cry and Il large
crowd collected.
At this juncture the two officers ap-
peared on the scene, and the detective
was hustled down to Station 4.
On being searched II false mustache, Il
set of false whiskers and several boxes
of face paint were found.

VancOuVcr'S Big Bridge.
From the Columbian


The great steel bridge across the
Columbia River at Vancouver will be Il
mammoth concern. 1t will be 5000
feet from the Washington to the Oregon
shore. 1t will be doubletracked, with
roadway on top for teams, and will be
erected upon pneumatic piers. The
pivoted pier, or draw pier, will support
Il draw which will give an opening OF
200 feet space ON either side for vessels
to pass, and the span immediately south
of the draw span will be 375 feet. The
whole structure is to be of steel, built
ten feet above the high water of 1875,
and forty feet above low water. On
account of the sandy formation it will
be necessary to go down eighty feet be-
low low water to get firm foundation.
There it rests on foundation Of coarse
gravel similar to that upon which the
great bridges across the Missouri River
are built This gigantic structure will
cost over 81 900, 900 and employ
hundreds of men III its erection. 1t
will be Jan. |, 1892, before the cars can
pass over it. The company is pushing
its bridge and also its road as last as men
and money and its present perfected
plans will permit. They have now be-
tween here and kalama over 1000 men
and 800 teams at work.

Some Famous London Fogs.
From Macmillan's Magazine.


Early in February, 1850, Il dense fog
hung over London. The long-continued
and intense gloom, accompanied by
cold, largely increased the mortality,
and whereas the death rate for the
week ending January "a was 27.1 in
! 900, that for the week ending February
7 had risen to the enormous figure OF
49, in 1000 The total deaths in
London for the latter week We're, in
fact, 1876, which was | ,657 above the
average for the time of year, while of
these ,557 were due to diseases Of the
respiratory organs, which number was
again / us above the average. While,
doubtless, some portion of the deaths
was due to the increased cold, it is
pretty clear that the number to be
attributed to this cause was only small.
from the fact that, while the death
rate in this foggy week in London rose
to 4S.1, the death rate for the week in
nineteen provincial towns, where an
equal cold prevailed, but no fog, was
only 1858. 4 gain, in the foggy week of
December 1878, the deaths in London
were more than 700 above the average !;
and though some of these, no doubt,
were due to the causes arising indirectly
out of the state of the atmosphere, such
as accidents, the great majority must be
ascribed to the actual vitiation of the
air. On December 10, during great
part Of the day, lit was not possible to
see across a narrow street. and in the
eveninga choking sensation mot alas a
very uncommon thing was felt in
breathing. Of three young men who
were out together in the evening of the
worst fog, two Immediately fell i'll from
its effects and died, and the third had a
sharp attack of illness Thousands OF
people were thrown so much out of
health that they did not recover for
some weeks" C'London Fogs," by
Hon. Il. Russell, +. NJ. S. And, to
complete the tragedy, many OF the fat
cattle exhibited at the great show at
Islington actually died then and there
of sutfocation! Mr.. Lee, formerly
medical officer for Manchester, in a
report to the corporation of that city
gives us the solid and gaseous
constituents of ordinary coal smoke,
tabulated as follows: Solid constituents
black tuliginous matter, salts of am
monia, bituminous or tarry matter;
gaseous stituents-carbonic oxide,
carbureted hydrogen, sulphureted
hydrogen, carbonic acid, sulphurous
acid. OF these, the first, or black
fuliginous matter, is simply the common

Fast Pneumatic Tubes,
From the New York Press

From the New York Press
The proposition to unite New York
and Philadelphia by pneumatic tubes,
which will require but twenty-five min
utes for transmission, is entirely feast
BILE. The pneumatic tube between
Twentv-third Street and the Western
Union building in this city takes letters
up and down town in three or four
minutes, and there is no reason why
the system should not be widely ex-
tended over the country.

While waiting for the close of IL

only is maternal comfort sacrificed for
their children, but every emotion OF
the human heart, except so lar as these
emotions can benefit Jack and Ethel, is
also sacrificed Relationships are care

4 gentleman went into savings

small amount of money for each OF his

it. however, is interesting to describe.
He had to sign his name III trust for
each Of the children, 20 give his age and
birthplace, the age and birthplace Of
the children and bis wife's name. He
was also asked to give the name OF his
eldest son, to which he replied that he
had none.
'In case anything happens to you,
YOUR children cannot draw this money
until they become u years of age" he
is informed by one of the clerks.
"Well, can't my eXecutOrd rawlt? ~ he
asked
"No, guardian must be appointed
for the purpose"
A bank book was then handed to him
for each of the children, showing that
he had deposited the amounts in trust.
He saw that only the initials of his first
and second name appeared. He asked
that his first name be written out III
full, because another member Of his
family has u name which begins with
the same initial.

clerk, $50 that if your book should be
