Washing Away the Earth.

A French gcologist made a careful
calculation of the amount of solid
matter yearly carried off into the
ocean by the action of the rivers of
the world and other causes. lie csti-
mates that the reduction of the aver
age height of the surface of the solid
land is 0.0O6 inches each year. Making
allowance for the corresponding rise
in the bed of the ocean, and taking no
account of the occurrence of volcanic
and other exceptional phenomena
the general tendency of which is to
hasten the process of disintcrgration-
the period at which the bolid land will
have ceased to exist and tho surface
of the Garth will be covered with
water has been estimated. As, how
ever, that period is 4,500, 00o wears
distant, the prediction need cause no
immediate disquictude. = Pittsburg

Tact is the Thing.

Tact Is one of the first qualifications
of business man, and the following
little incident in the history of ono Of
the most successful merchants shows a
development of this trait early in his
business career.
Coming to New York from the
country, without friends and with
very iiftle money, he found his way to

into the counting room and waited
modcstly aud patiently till he should

"Well. what can You do2"
The boy answered eagerly:
"Most anything, sir"
Mr.. w, partly for Joke and partly
TO rid himself Of tho almost too conf
dent boy, said:
"Ah, ahl Well, just 60 ont and
borrow me couple of thousand dol
lars"
The lad placed his hat on his head,
walked out of the store, then passed
slowly down Front street till he came
TO another large store in the same line
of business, our friends of the past,
Messrs. S, G. & c.. then with a bold
but honest look he walked up TO the
head of the house aud said
"Mr. w. of w & Co. sent me
down to borrow S2000."
"IIe did, my son? How is business
up at your place."

UnprOgresSiye Mexico.

A recent traveller in Mexico says the
natives are unwilling TO adopt modern
ways, and it is nearly impossible to
make them change. An Englishman
engaged in mining put up hoisting
plant. but found at once that it was
money thrown away, as the workmcn
would not consent to its use. They
had long been accustomed TO carry the
ore in sacks supported by broad can
vas band passing over their fore
heads, and to receive SO much for it
at the mouth of tho shaft. To get it
there an ascent of over 200 feet had to
be made by means of ladders, and ac-
cordingly progress was very slow.
But nothing would induce them to use
the hosting machinery, and it had to
be abandoned, every man working in
the old fashion. -[Chicago Herald.

One Of the curious reo;ils efs The
financial success of The Eiffel tower in
Paris has been the institution of a

projectors argue that there is evidently
a latent passion in the human breast
to ascend to high elevations and gaze
upon extended views, and they pro-
pose to travel throughout the country
with captive balloons capable of lift
ing spectators to height one-third
greater than that of the Paris tower.

result of continued cold weather in

How long they will hold up, no one
seems to know. They are liable to
