Anthropologists all over the world are said to be aroused by the prop osition of Professor Putnam, of Harvard, to gather at the Worlds Fair in Chicago living representa- tives of every race of aborigines to be found on the American conti- nent, in their own houses and cos tunes. Should the proposal be carried out students of man from all overthe world will flock to Amer ica for the occasion and seize eager ly this only opportunity ever offer ed. The cave-dwellers whose mode of life Walt McDougall treats with much historical correctness in his recent fiction, will then be either de- monstrated as actually existing or proved to have died out.-New York World.

The telephone between London and Paris is proving big success, scientifically, commercially and ti- nancially. Electricians say there is no telephone circuit in London, or in England, that works so clear ly and perfectly. The tariff is s shillings, or $2, for three minutes use of the wire, and the average number of calls during the last few weeks has been fifteen an hour dur ing the busy parts of the day, and about 10S a day. From records kept ofactual business transacted 1t is estimated that messages are sent between London and Paris at the rate of five words for two cents, an enormous reduction on the regular telegraph cable rates. The tele- phone has been used through to Brussels, and also to Marseilles, the latter distance of 900 miles.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The correspondent of the London Times at Alexandria, Egypt, states that three colossal statues, ten feet high, of rose granite, have just been found at Aboukir, a few feet below the surface. The discovery was made from indications furnished to the government by local investi- gator, Daninos Pasha. The first two represent in one group Rameses II. and Queen Hentmara seated on the same throne. This is unique among Egyptian statues. The third statue represents Rameses standing up- right in military attire, a scepter in his hand and a crown upon his head. Both bear hierogylphic in- scriptions. Public Opinion,

Some Rain -Making Talk.

Canton, O., Oct. 29.-Frank Mel bourne, the ''rain king" returned to his home here this morning. In an interview he said: II have not sold my secret and never intend to. There is not money enough in the West to buy it. I have in my pos session a contract with the Kansas Land Company 10 bring rain in forty counties as required fromMay toSeptember of next year, for which I am to receive 10 cents per acre on 2,000,000 acres now under culti- vation there. pr. Cahill of Stock ton, Cal, charges me with stealing part of his invention in Australia. 1 never saw the man in Australia or elsewhere. His story is on a par with that of a jealous reporter of Denver, who started the story that I barely escaped lynching while at Cheyenne because I refused to al- low him to annoy me during my experiments. Certain parties in eastern Colorado have made pro- position to me to go there next summer. I have not accepted the offer and shall not do so until 1 hear from them. expect to go to Mexico next month and will make no further tests this winter unless in extreme southern States. 1 also have an offer from Brazil, but must decline, as I now have all 1 can han dle next year"

In spite of the fact that Tilden's s will was broken, his plan for New York Free Library will be carried through, owing to the liberality of Mrs. Laura B. Hazard, the grand child and only surviving heir of MT. Tilden's sister, Mrs. Pelton. Mrs. Hazard voluntarily yielded all claim to any sum over S1 100000, which at the lowest estimate will leave $2 100000 with which to found the library.

One of the most successful inven- tions of the day is the process of preserving fruit without cooking or the use of chemicals, which was re- gently discoverd by Miss Amanda Jones. A Woman's Canning and Preserving Company has been formed, of which the stockholders, and, as far as possible, the employees, are all women. One of the rules of the company, and, in fact, one oi it's motives, is to provide work for women at a suitable recompense. Miss Jones herselfis very remark able character, combining vivid and even weired imagination with most practical, business-like views. Although but a year or so old, the company has already declared a dividend.

Our old friend Frank Abrams, who is one of the most peaceable and orderly of our citizens. got in- to little racket with a Mexican Tuesday. It appears that the Mex ican had loaded up with Kingman tanglefoot and had entered the house of Alonzo Ferrar a day or two before and demolished consid- erable furniture, dishes &c. Mrs. Ferrar was very badly frightened and told Frank Abrams to inform the fellow that if he did not pay for the damage she would have him ar rested. Frank did so and thereby incurred the Mexican's displeasure and vowed he would lay for him. Tuesday afternoon he encountered Frank on the street and proceeded to do him up, but was wonderfully surprised when he got through with the "doi:g up" business. He re- ceived very ugly gash on the head and another on the bridge of the noise, while Abrams escaped with out scratch. He says the old man is pretty stiff with age and rheuma tism, but he can whip all such fel- lows as this Mexican.-Mohave Miner.

In conversation the other day with Joe Carter, he still maintains that Salton Lake is by no means q thing of the past and he thinks the sink will certainly fill up again this winter. He bases his belief on the fact that the channels are now cut all the way from the Colorado to Salton and the ground is thorough ly soaked. When the next high water comes all it will have to do will be to find the old channels wash out dritted sand and go on to Salton.-Yuma Times.

According to La Nature, many of the most prolific French writers are in the habit of using green paper for manuscript in preference to white, as being less fatiguing to the eyes. It has, however, the disad- vantage of making the writing ap- pear indistinct. Yellow and "mas- tic" (whitey-brown) are recom- mended as the best colors to use.

Some years ago Professor Rein planted in the Frankfort Botanical Garden some of the trees from which it is stated the Japanese ob- tain their lacquer or varnish. The tree Is known to botanists as the Rhus vernix, and 1t appears there are now thirty-four healthy trees, some thirty feet high. Professor Rhein has taken sap from few of the trees and sent it to Japan for trial by native artists. It Is, how ever, almost useless for Europeans to attempt to compete with the Ja- panese in their line, but the lacquer If 1t can be made from trees grown in Europe, may be used for other purposes than vanishing wood. The Rhus Curiaria, or varnish tree, grows in many parts of wlfat may be termed the Mediterranean dis trict, and it's juice is known for it's deleterious or injurious properties, and has consequently been letalone. fl'he Japanese, however, seem to un- derstand 1t, and it is certain they make a beautiful lacquer or varnish from the juice of their trees; but they keep the processes secret English Mechanic.

THE COMING NEW COURT.

Canvassing the Probable Nominees-The
Name of Marshall Brown, Esq, to Be
Strongly Presented-A Strong Petition
Preparing.
As the establishment of an additional
court to expedite litigation in Allegheny
county seems to be now quite certain, there
is more or less quiet canvassing and ex-
change of opinions as to the probable per-
tonnel of the new Bench. In most cases
mention of probabilities has been made only
in a casual way; but from this on, prefer
ences are likely 10 centralize on particular
aspirants. A very strong and respectable
movement in this direction has taken place
among leading members of the bar, both Dem
ocratS and Republicans. on behalf of Marshall
Brown, Esq, as one of the appointees. 1t was
talked of quite freely and encouragingly yes-
terday in legal circles, with such expressions of
appreciation of Mr.. Browns abilities and
character as to make sure that he will have
hearty and earnest support.
Mr.. Marshall Brown is the oldest son of Major
A. VI. Brown, and nephew of Thomas NJ. Mar
shall EsQ.-of the standing of both of whom
with the profession and wi Ii the community no
mention need be made-but it Is bv no reflected
light he shines BY his own abilities which
are admitted 20 be of very high order, Mar
shall Brown has won an honorable and valued
place in the profession, and. with it, in no cum
mon degree the respect and-t is not an over
statement to say-the universal good will of its
members
Mr.. Browns temperament and qualihcatio
are believed 70 fit him exceptionally well for
judicial work. From what is learned of the
movement, it is quite sure that his name will
support both from the bar and many influential
elements of the community.
