Electric Shadows.

If you ever observe it, the electric light
is responsible for many grotesquerics
nightly painted on respectable walls and
matter-of-fac sidewalks. Shadows are
only shadows, but they give one the
shivers sometimes, especially at a late
hour, when honest folk are supposed to be
in bed. Giants of despair then stretch out
long arms at the corners of silent streets,
and strange protiles are thrown against
the unconscious houses, and weird tracer
les of dancing branches make the pave
ment rise and fall in style that must
puzzle person who knows he is sober.
Alone without the presence of humanity,
these electric shadows lend the sleeping
city mystic animation that even conven-
tional moonshine fails to dispel. The
sputter, the swish of the lights, too, add
to the uncanny effect, and their fluctua-
tons would in time drive the sane mad if
thought was taken of them. Luckily, man
can accustom himself to almost anything.

The south,s Prosperity.

Financially, the southern states are
glowing with health and promise and re-
joicing in the consciousness of their essen
tial greatness. No Juror has been created
by sensational advertising, but the world
has been astonished by the latest statis-
tics of wonderful growth, as shown in the
national census of 1890. The sum of all is
in the fact that the assessed value of prop
erty in nine states is estimated by the
census officials to have grown from $3,OOO,-
600, 900 in 1880 to Sc 900, 900, 900 in 1890.
The reports Of the census everywhere
tell of enlarged and charging areas Of Gull
tivation, of new mines of coal and iron, ex-
cellent in quality and inexhaustible in
quantity, of new manufactures in every
department of human industry. All the
bases of wealth and of sound and satisfac-
tory finance are here; and in my opinion,
southern enterprises are animated, sus-
tanned and fortified by as sincere and high
regard for commercial credit and personal
honor, and by as profound a conviction Of
the necessity of fair dealing, as are to be
found anywhere.-J. l.. Williams in the
Forum.

Magnetic Rocks.

In letter to Nature the following in
stance of extraordinary local magnetic
disturbance, due to the presence Of mag
netic rocks, is cited by Commander Creak:
"In September 1885, when Her Majesty's
surveying vessel Media was passing Bezut
island near COSSack, northwest Australia,
q steady DETECTION was observed. This re-
markable result has, however, since been
exceeded by observations made in the
Penguin on Nov. 6, 1890, the Penguin being
two miles north seventy-nine degrees east
from Bezut island, where q detection Of
twenty-five degrees was observed. The
ship was Immediately anchored, and some
hours of the next day were spent investi-
eating the matter. On Bezut island itself
the absolute values of the variation and
dip were normal, the dip being fifty deg.
one min. seven sec. But at position north
seventy-nine and half degrees east, dis
tant 214 miles from that on Bezut island,
the observed dip on board was eighty
three degrees south, with very small de-
Election of the compass. At 900 feet to the
westward of this the dip was normal, and
it decreased rapidly as the center was left
in any direction. At about one hundred
feet south of the center of the disturbance
the compass was DETECTED fifty-five
degrees. This was the largest DETECTION
observed, but the compass was disturbed
over an area of about a square mile. The
general depth of water in this area was
nine fathoms, and the quality of the bot
tom quartz sand. The observations of the
magnetic elements at COSSack and the
neighborhood showed little or no distur-
bance from local magnetic effects. 1t is
therefore evident that the disturbances
were due to magnetic minerals at the bot
tom of the sea-

having seen Robert Fulton many times

Tho venerable survivor is Christian Coop
er. If he lives until next October he will
celebrate the completion of his 117th year.
His advanced age is well established. If
the record of the Reformed Church at
Germantown spoke truly Christian Coop
er was born on October 25, IVA. His home
for many years was in a house built by
Walter Livingston in Columbia county.
1t will be remembered that Fulton married
a Miss Livingston, of Columbia county.
Hence the opportunities presented to
Cooper for seeing and knowing the inven-
tor of the steamboat. One can get q fairly
adequate idea of the span of this mans
life upon rejecting that when Robert Full

century ago Christian Cooper had been

A GREAT big scandal, involving,
through more than one Of its members,
the administration, may be the outcome
of the Itata business. 1t is whispered in
inside circles that the opinions of certain
people-the matter is entirely too serious
to use names upon no better basis than
rumor-have been influenced both for
and against the CHILEAN insurgents by
large sums of money, which has, &C
cording to the story, been furnished by
certain parties in New York who ale
heavily interested in CHILEAN commerce,
and whose business rivalry is thought
by many to be at the bottom of all tie
trouble in that unfortunate country.
Certain it is that Balmaceda and the in
surgents are both represented in Wash
ington by shrewd agents and lawyers,
the latter Americans, and the appear
ances indicate that both sides are well
supplied with money and that at least
one side has paid big money for the
right to use the news columns of certain
newspapers. The administration Off
cially recognizes only the Balmaceda
government, but Senior Montt, the repre-
sentative of the CHILEAN insurgents, or,
as he says, ''the only constitutional gov
eminent of Chilli" appears to be conf
dent that the Itata will be released by
the courts and that the insurgents will
soon be recognized by this government.

The Eight Most Prominent Americans
Who are the eight most prominent
Americans?
That is an interesting question, and
question on which no two men will agree.
BY the most prominent is meant the best
known; the men for some cause or another
best known to the greatest number OF
people; the most eminent in their respect
i've walks of life. The question was asked
by many men yesterday, all of whom are
themselves well known in Atlanta and
over the State.
A learned young Superior Court Judge
from Eastern Georgia answered: Jay
Gould, Cleveland, Harrison, Blaine, Tai
mage, Ingalls,, Jerry Simpson and Edison.
A well-known merchant said: Harrison,
Blaine, Gould, Ingalls,, Sam Jones, Cleve-
land, Hill, Tom Reed.
A prominent physician replied: Blaine,
Harrison, Cleveland, Ingersoll, Talmage,
Sam Jones, Booth, Jay Gould.
minister answered: Cleveland, Henry
Watterson, Blaine, Carlisle, Wade Hamp-
ton, DR.. Palmer, Crisp, German.
An eX-newspaper man answered: Jerry
Simpson John L. Sullivan, Jay Gould, Edi-
son, Blaine, Cleveland Buffalo Bill, In
| gals.
| A prominent Atlanta lawyer replied:
Blaine, Cleveland, Harrison Gould, w. II.
Vanderbilt, John L. Sullivan, Talmage,
Hill.
Middle Georgia lawyer named:
Blaine, Cleveland, Mills, Mckinley, Ingalls,,
| Edmonds, Powderly, Gould.
A newspaper writer Of wide reputation
answered: Edison, Gould, Blaine, Tai
| mage, Pulitzer, Depew, Ingalls,, HILL
Another of different tastes called out:
John L. Sullivan Blaine, Cleveland, Tai
mage, Dana, Booth, Ingersoll, Jay Gould.
A South Georgia lawyer: Cleveland, Hill,
Blaine, German. Harrison, Gould, Edison,
| Mckinley
1t is rather remarkable that but one
| name is mentioned in each answer. That
is Blaine's. Cleveland is in every answer
but one, and Jay Gould is admitted by
only one. Tom Reeds name a few months
ago was upon every lip. Yet he is mem
toned by but one man in the ten quoted
| above, and Mckinley fares but little bet
ter. Even President Harrison is named

trict-


MONTREAL, July 15.-Fire destroyed
the entire block bounded by Paptneau
road, Shaw, St. Catharine and Kent
streets, which largely consisted of lum-
Der yards and manufacturing concerns,
When the firemen of the immediate
neighborhood reached the corner they
could not but look with dismay upon the
fearful task before them. The wind, as
il by magic, spranR upon and drove the
fire further into the large piles of lum-
Der and as ono after the other they
ignitsd, 1t became evident that more help
was needed. All the reserves were called
out, but to no purpose.
row of houses stood on Shaw street.
One after another they all succumbed.
Looking at the scene from Delorimier
avenue, it can best be described as an
avenue of fire, such as has been seldom
witnessed in Montreal
Volumes of fire belched forth until 10
seemed that the brigade were helpless.
When the wind suddenly changed new
fears were added to those which already
existed in regard to the safety of scores
of dwelling houses just east of the con-
fagration.
The fire continued to spread and was
licking up everything in its path when
the wind suddenly changed and drove
the flames back over the section already
destroyed. The 6remen then succeeded
in getting it under control.
The total loss is estimated 81 $100 900.

J. ALEXANDER LINDQUIST, who has
prepared tract on tin plates and the
tariff for the New York Reform club,
makes the point that the Increased duty
upon tin plates brought about by the
Mckinley law was intended, not SO
much to establish plants for the manu-
facture of this article in the United
States, as to indirectly afford hight r
measure of protection to the American
manufacturers of galvanized and other
sheet iron or steel, now used for rootiu G
and other building purposes. 1t is well
known that tin plates have come into
competition with these last named arti-
cles, and, obviously. if the price of tin
plates can be materially advanced, the
intensity of this competition can be re-
duced and larger market opened fer
this less desirable commodity.
