SPANISH FINANCTERING.

SPANISH F1NANCEEhENG.
 Portugal has just shown what she can do in the way of fnanciering, and now Spain steps to the front Spain, it appears, has been running steadily behind for more than ten years. The floating debt is now more than S6O,O0O,OO0, and another at tempt is to be made to relieve the strain. The Bank of Spain is to loan the govern ment s3O,0OO,OOO for thirty years without interest, and in return for this favor is to receive highly valuable considerations. In the first place, it's charter, in cluding the exclusive privilege of issuing bank notes, is to be extended seventeen years. It would expire in 1904, but is now to run till 1921. Then no limit is to be put upon its issue of bills. The banks capital is at present $50, 900, 900, and it is not autho- rized to issue notes beyond the amount of S150,00O,000. With it's capital thus null tiplied by five its privilege is already i'm mensely valuable and enables it practically to absorb all the banking business of Spain. The removal of all limits on its circulation and the doubling the time it's charter has to run will give it advantages which it will probably not be slow to use.
 With Portugal, Italy and Spain in acute financial trouble, with France shaky, Ger many not over confident, and England slowly recovering from last years crash, the financial outlook in Europe is not very cheering This country is doing as well as could be expected, and the indications now are that she is going to do still bet

Under the Earth.

From GOldthwaite's Geographical Magazine
 The workmen in the deepest mines of Europe swelter in almost intolerable heat,
 and yet they have never penetrated over one seven-thousandth part of the distance from the surface to the center of the earth. In the lower levels of some of the Comstock mines the men fought scalding
 water and could only labor three or four
 hours at time until the Sutro tunnel
 pierced the mines and drew of some of
 the terrible heat, which had stood at one hundred and twenty degrees. The deepest boring ever made, that at SPerenberg, near Berlin, penetrates only four thousand one hundred and seventy-two feet, about one thousand feet deeper than the famous artesian well at St. Louis. While borings | and mines reveal to us Cnly few secrets | relating solely to the temperature and con | stitutiOn of the earth for a few thousand feet below the surface, We are able, by means of volcanoes, to form some notion | of what is going on at greater depths | There have been many theories about the causes of volcanoes, but it is now general
 ly held that though they are produced by
 the intense heat of the interior of tho
 earth, they are not directly connected witf

ABOUT ALUMINUHI. |.

As aluminium will soon be in common use anything concerning its qualities is interesting. A ''chemist' wrote the other day to the New York Tribune and made some very derogatory remarks concerning the metal. But Mir. Hunt, who makes al minimum, and therefore ought to know something about it, sharply assails the chemists statements. He quotes the chemists assertion that aluminium cannot be soldered reliably, and says fiatly that it can be. It is ''one of the most ductile of metals, and when the artisan knows how to work it it is one of the easiest working metals.' Therefore it can't be lone of the nastiest metals in existence" as alleged by the anonymous chemist. Tests for roofing purposes "do not show it to be inferior to galvanized iron." "The staten ent that for vessels employed in the kitchen it could only be used where salt is kept away is not true. I have had culinary articles in my house for over a year and they have stood very well-much better than vessels of copper lined with tin" MT. Hunt also says. contrary to the chemists assertion, that aluminium is much stronger than iron, weight for weight Instead of being four times as bulky as iron it is but 2.9 times as bulky, i. e., lighter. MT. Hunt goes on: The "scientist" also states that for articles that are to be handled aluminium is no better than tin and soils the hands like lead. The untruthfulness of this statement is clearly shown by the fact that for the last twenty years the finest opera glasses that we know any. thing about have been of pure aluminium
 and to-day aluminium opera glasses are the most desirable. Certainly nothing is handled more than opera glasses.
 Probably it will be found that aluminium | will not climb trees, but there is good evidence that it will be very useful.

Everybody knows that many rocks are formed on the floor of the ocean, and 1t has been found that twentieth to @ seventh of their weight is made up of i'm prisoned water. Now these rocks are buried in time under overlaying strata which serve as a blanket to keep in the enormous heat of the interior This heat turns the water into super-heated steam, which melts the hardest rocks, and when the steam finds a Assure in the strata above, it breaks through to the surface with terrific energy and we have a yolcs- no. We find that these outpourings that have lain for countless ages many thou sands of feet below the surface are well adapted to serve the purposes of man. Many vineyard hourishes on the volcanic ashes from Vesuvius, and volcanic mud has clothed the hills of New Zealand with fine forests and its plains with luxuriant verdure. The most wonderful display of the results of volcanic energy is seen in the northwestern corner of our own land, a region of lofty forests and of great fer ility.

The spell of our visitors politeness was upon us all. What was to beco ne of our friend? The boat still moved on, but there was no interruption to the conyersa- tion. At last servant appeared, made bow to our visitor ard retired. He then rose and said that this happiness mIst come to an end; that time had passed faster than he thought in such instructive and agreeable conversation. He took down the name and address of each of us, and hoped that something would give him the pleasure of seeing us again, though he could not suppose that we should think it worth while to revisit Su-Chau. It was clearly his purpose to leave the boat and get beyond the reach of our thanks before we should discover that the gates had been opened, our three boats taken through, and that we were nearly at the end of the suburb, with a free course down the ca- nal We held short consultation about money. We had been told that every off cial in China, whatever his rank or digni- ty, would take money, if not bribes. We had not found it so thus far, and to offer money to such being as this, to do him that wrong, being so majesticall We agreed that MT. Syle should make him speech, telling him that we were aware that some poor men at the gates must have been put to labor beyond their hours: that we could not think of leaving with out making them compensation: that we could not find them, or know how to distrib- ute it properly; and would he, might we presume to ask him to take charge of small purse, and let some one distribute it in our name! But no, he detested the slight est scent of money, and the manner in which he waved away MT. Syie and the whole subject was incompatible, I may say indescribable. He did not utter a word; but look of distress,-I cannot say of even the slightest reproach,-a wave of the hand, bow, and the imme- diate resuming of the conversation where it had stopped combined in the decisive result of humbled acquiescence on our part

\ Horse,s silent Suffering.

From Blackwood-
 It is pity that horses suffer Mutely. Ii they could express their torments by yells as piercing and loud in proportion to their size, as for example,a wounded hare utters, we should soon be enlightened as to the amount of suffering in our streets. Some of the hanson cabs which ply there are admirably turned out and driven, but there are still many whose owners act on the principle of a minimum of corn and a maximum of whip-cord. In one such was travelling one day; the driver piled his whip vigorously about the tenderest parts of his horses Hanks and awkwardly allowed the last to strike me across the face. The pain was acute, and 1 did not suffer in silence; yet for one indirect cut that l received in that journey, the unfor- tunate quadruped received scores. He re- ceived punishment at the rate of about fifty lashes n mile. which if his average | daily task is moderately computed at twelve miles, would give the hideous total | of six hundred lashes day.
 This incident took place in broad day light, but cabmen's night-horses are in- | deed pitiful class. Nearly all of those | that ale assembled nightly in Palace yard I when the House of Commons is sitting are suffering from nayicular disease. caused | by fast work on hard pavements You | may see the unhappy animals standing | with fire. ore foTefOot, then the other, l pointed forward to relieve the pain, which must resemble toothache on a large scale, for it is caused by the decay of bone
 nearly two inches long in the center of the I foot. Would society endure horses being worked in this condition ii they could sig

 The barbarity of tight bearing reins was | forcibly exposed and condemned by wri-
 ter in ''Maga" of June, 1875, and certain | ly the excessive use of them thereafter be-
 came less common; but it Is still too often | to be seen. Ii would not be seen at all ii | people in general understood the peculiar

An Indian prince went to Paris and had a high old time. He lived on the Boule- yard Haussman and, in Indian prince fash ion, treated his apartments rather roughly. The landlord demanded S4 ,000 for repairs. The Rajah refused pleasantly and left Paris one day by special train with all his be- longings. The landlord got an attachment on the baggage and served it on the direct ors of the eastern railroad before the Ma harajah's special train had reached the French frontier. But the directors let the train pass or, and the landlord now turned and sued them for damages. They replied that the security of public travel forbade them stopping the special, as that would have meant alterations in the timetable of twenty-two other trains, which could not have been carried out reliably and safely. Secondly they urged that the attachment concerned the property of foreign prince who was not under French jurisdiction. Lastly the railroad direction disclaimed being the holder of the baggage, which, on the special train, was in the posses sion of its owner. The plaintiff was non suited
