A distinguished authority upou

A distinguished authority upon Jew
elry has an interesting article in the Jeu-
elers' Weekly, in which he argues that the
koh-i-noor, the great British crown
jewel, IS only fragment of the Great
Moguls diamond, all trace OF which was
suppose to be lost. That remarkable
stone has been regarded as somewhat
apocryphal, but this writer holds that
the Mogul's diamond did exist; that it
was stone Of 268 carats. If the koh-
i-noor is really the vast stone that the
great General, Mir Junila, gave to Shah
Jahan in 1867, the romantic history of
the great diamond will have to be re.
written and made the more romantic

1t is remarked by the Inspector Of
Explosives in England, in his fifteenth
annual report, that the number of
deaths by accident among 10000 per-
sons engaged in the manufacture of
explosives amounted last year only to
eight. For the seven years before the
Explosive Acts came into operation
there was an average of thirty-nine
deaths annually in this manufacture,
although the number employed was
very much smaller.

Some curious experiences are

Some curious experiences are re-
ported from Italy as to the effect of
colors on the nerves of the sick and
insane. In the hospital for the insane
at Alessandria, special rooms are ar
ranged with red or blue paint on the
walls. A violent patient is suddenly
brought into blue room and left to
the effects of that color on his nerves.
One maniac was cured in an hour:
another was at peace in his mind after
passing day in room of violet.
The red room is use for the common
est form of dementia-melanch
usually accompanied by refusal to
take food. After three hours in the
red room, patient affected in this
way began to be cheerful and ask
for food.

sa's the force Of the drain, and finan-
c'ers are disturbsA by the unusual
outlay that has taken place. It ia said
that the money is needed to renav
Russian loans that are about to motnra

of affairs on the continent it is more
than probable that in its treasury, as
we'll as in its war department, the
Muscovite government is getting
ready for the tremendous contest that
is impending between the great pow
ers. An accident may precipitate the
conflict, but it is evident that Russia
is determined to be prepared at every

Tho chief inspector of workshops
and factories of Ohio has issued orders
to fifteen cigar manufacturers of Gin
cinnati to discharge all the children in
their employ under the age of 16.
This order is based on law of Ohio,
passed last winter, prohibiting the en-
ployment of children under 16 years
of age at occupations injurious to
health. Mr.. Mcdonald, the inspector.
says that he has certificates from sew
eral prominent physicians that the to-
bacco manufacturing industry is in
furious to the health Of the young en-
ployes, and hence orders the children
discharged. The order will affect

An experiment was made the other
day on railroad train running from
Rome to Frascati with new combustible
prepared from Ignite, rich deposits of
which have been found in Italy. The
combustible was invented by Signor Sa-
pori of Siena. OF the new fuel 367 kill
ograms were used, doing the work of
500 Kilograms of coal. The discovery
is expected to prove valuable one, as
1t will DO away with the necessity of the
importation of coal. The new fuel makes
light smoke. In addition to the fuel,
Ignite also yields brilliant gas.

SHOCKED TO DEATH.
Four Wanderers Executed by Elec-
triCity In Sing Sing. N. Y.

At Sing Sing N. ", the killing of the foul
murderers, Slocum, Smler, Wood and
Jugiro, was done Tuesday morning July Z,
by electricity.
A number Of professional men, electricians
and the jury were present
At o'clock Slocum walked into the death
room accompanied by Father Creeden. He
seemed to be making tremendous effort to
keep his composure He had received Father
Creeden's last offices and had declared hims
self ready to die. He was then firmly strap
ped in the chair and the death current an,
piled. Death was instantaneous. There was
a sudden contraction of the nerves and then
all was over
Smiler followed next. Rev. Mr.. Edgerton
cheered him up. Before Smiler had time to
think he was strapped into the chair and in
an instant later the current was crashed
through him and sent him into eternity.
The next to follow was Wood, the negro.
He had been worked up to state of religious
enthusiasm, and it was while IN this frame of
mind that he was fastened into the chair and
killed by the fatal fluid
Jugiro was stubborn to the last and there
was the usual ferocious look on his face He
was closely guarded and short work yas
made OF him. There was no apparent bitch
in the four executions, and they were pro-
nounced successful. The death of the four
men appeared to be painless. Death came
like flash. 1t was one awful shock and
then oblivion.
Slocuin was killed at 4.4215 o'clock.
Smiler was put to death at IA o'clock
Woods met his doom at $50 o'clock and
Jugiro was killed at 500 O'Clock.
No outsiders were admitted and reporters
were especially barred, an armed guard
watching outside the prison walls. The an
nouncements of the several executions were
made by flag signals previously arranged
Warden Brown had arranged all matters
well and there was no hitch, as in the Kemm-
Ter case at Auburn year ago. The electrodes
were applied to the forehead and the calf of
the left leg The executioner was concealed in
a closet and turned on the current at signal
from Warden Brown. None of the men
struggled, although Jugiro the Jap, at first
refused to leave his CELL but when Connaugh
ton said, Come on, Joe. be brave man,
the Jap walked out instantly. Two al.
ditional keepers marched one ON each side of
the Jap, while the chaplains followed behind
the warden and his deputy.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

last year the figures were 1877 -~xssk
Dun's Trade Review says The unusual
conservatism which prevails in nearly all
sections and branches of business impresses
many as the most disheartening symptom,
but it may at least be interpreted as the very
best ground for confidence and solid improve
ment when the new and large crops come
forward more freely.
Prices Of materials and products are thus
kept in such relation that large and fairly
profitable business is possible, but will be
dazed when it comes upon the actual de-
mands of consumers and not upon inflated
hopes. This conservative attitude il more
necessary this year, because while money
is abundant here on call. the possibility Of
disturbance abroad, or of difficulty of obtain
ing needed money for crops at the West IL
not entirely removed.
Money remains cheap at London.
Crop reports are more full than thew are
usually at this time of the year, and thew
grow more clearly satisfactory. Spring
wheat is every day improving, also as to
other grains and cotton. Wheat has declined
2 cents during the past week, notwithstand-
ing the exports were as large as year ago;
but the immediate demand for corn has
caused rise of 4 cents, and oats are quoted
higher. Sales were but moderate, and Of
cotton only 10000 bales without change in
prices. The market for sugar has been
weaker, but grows steady, and refined Is In
better demand.
Reports from the cities show general dull-
ness in trade at the south.
