PERQUIsITEs OF SENATORS.
Freedom of the Bath and Barber shop and
Other Little Things.

Freedom Of the Bath and Barber shop and
Other Little Things.
New York SUM-
There are many other perquisites and
privileges besides ample clerical assistance
enjoyed at Government expense and that
cause jealousy to rankle in the bosom Of the
members of the Lower House. For instance,
the Senators are bathed and shorn and
shaved free Of expense, while all that the
Representatives get free is an occasional
bath. Their tonsorial privileges they mus
pay for like an outsider. The Senate barber
shop and bathroom is q delightful place
with its marble doors, lace curtains, steam
heat, and perfumed fountains. It is
so attractive that Senators will patron.
iEe no other shop under any circumstances
and it is fact that certain old gentlemen
who once were Senators, but now are not
still patronize the free barber. Some oil
them who live in Washington come early
and often, evidently thinking that Senator
once is Senator always. Others only call
on their occasional visits to Washington.
In addition to the barber shop the Sena'
tors use the big mail wagons to transport
their household goods about when they
leave or arrive in town, or when they
change their domicile; they keep their
horses in the Senate stables BY the paymen,
of nominal charge, and they do not hesi-
tate to use the public laborers at their
residences when occasion requires. So ac-
customed do Senators become to sponging
on the Government that sometimes they
store their household goods, including baby
carriages and ohildren's bicycles, in the
Capitol corridors

Packing for Foreign Markets

The desire TO secure economy in the mat
ter Of packing often leads to the exercise Of
considerable sagacity. A visitor to an sx-
port shoe factory was surprised at finding
cooper and all the surroundings of o first
class distillery in the packing room. On in
yestigation he found that the casks he saw
were being used to pack boots and shoes for
foreign shipment. The goods were going
10 a market where these casks were wanted
for wines, rum, etc. ,and brought good price
aside from the sayingof the cost Of the
usual package. In another instance some
shoes tor the South American market were
packed in wicker baskets so as to meet
certain demand at the point OF destinationj
the shoes were carefully wrapped in paper,
and the baskets well lined with some ma
terial salable in the southern ports, the lat
ter, of course, being used only as packing,
and going in as such. 1t has long been the
custom in the wheat trade to ship all grain
TO South American ports, Portugal and
Spain, in bags manufactured from the best
quality OF drill, and made of such dimen-
SONS that the cloth, which thus evades
usually very high duty, becomes avaiisbls
for many uses.

Peculiar Little Creature That VIII Hunt Up
Any Dirt In the Optic.
Did you ever hear Of an eye snailf It IL
found on the coast of some of the South Pa
cifc islands, product of the sea, and in
appearance not unlike the half of dry
English pea. The fat side is slightly con-
caved, and by close inspection the numerous
small legs can be seen in readiness for bust
ness, closely folded together.
Now comes the most singular part Of the
story: Place the little animal under the lid
Of the eye, and be springs off. running all
about and around the ball apparently in
search OF anything of foreign nature.
which, should he find, he will seize and
come out of the eye, evidently satisfied with
having performed his duty. Stranger still,
the thing remains lifeless in the pocket
until immersed in little vinegar, where
upon it begins jumping about, signifying
its Willingness to work. Although the thing
resembles the half of an English pea, there
is nothing irritating about it in the eye.
Whites are made acquainted with its use by
the natives, who frequently get grains of
sand in their eyes v hile diving.

Illumination for Light Houses.

A few months ago special committee was
appointed in England to investigate the
present method of illuminating light houses,
and to determine the best mode of securing
better results. Following on the repor. Of
this commission are two inventions which
have been put before the Royal Dubli,
Society. One of these is burner by means
Of which gas made from ordinary coking

arrangements OF lenticular apparatus, .
power could be evoked for the benefit Of the
mariner in foggy weather equal to about
5000, 900 candles, which, owing to the com-
position of the gaslight and its great volume,
would have an effect on fog or haze very
much greater than that of the most power
full electric light hitherto used. This light
would be six times as powerful as that OF
Tory Island, which is the largest light
house flash in the world.

wRrrrEN FOE THE DrsPAroH.1
The old ascription of the power to remove
mountains to such as had faith as grain Of
mustard seed, has come to be no mere
figure OF speech. The effect of the hydraulic
monitor, which is now used for the purpose
OF removing masses of earth, we'll nigh
passes belief. A stream of water issuing
from q nozzle or pipe, 6 inches in diameter,
with fall behind it of 375 feet, will carry
away a solid bowlder Weighing q ton or
more to distance Of 80 or 100 feet. The
velocity Of the stream Ia terrific, and the
column Of water projected is so solid that,
if crowbar or other heavy object b
thrust against It, the impinging object will
be hurled a considerable distance. BY
this stream of water a man would be in.
stantly killed if he came into contact with
it. even at a distance of couple of hundred
feet.
At 400 feet from the nozzle, q six-iDch
stream with 375 feet fall. projected momen.
tarlly against the trunk of tree, will In .
second den ude it of the heaviest bark an
cleanly as if it had been cut with an AZ.
Whenever such q stream is turned against q
gravel bank it cuts and burrows it in every
direction, following out great caves, and
causing tons OF earth to melt and fall and
be washed away in the sluices. The guam
tity OF material which can thus be removed
in a short time is almost inconceivable.
This quantity depends, of course, very much
upon the nature of the soil, whether loose
soil, ordinary gravel or cement gravel.
Some idea OF the immense amount OF earth
and gravel which has been removed In this
way may be gathered from some statistics
on the subject recently compiled in Cali
fornia.
During the height of the hydraulic In
dustfy there was in use from the Feather,
Yuba, Bear and American rivers and three
other streams of water, total of I8, $50, sos
miners inches of water every "a hours. At
an average Of 81 cubic yards OF gravel to
the inch, there was thus washed away daily
38, 600, 900 yards of material. This is low
estimate. and as an actual fact much mors
was carried away. The amount stated rep
resents mass of earth 500 yards long, 3S6
yards wide and 200 yards high. II such a
prodigious quantity can be washed away In
"a hours, it can require no great length Of
time TO remove mountains and cast them
into the sea.

Why the Topper Soon Gets So He Always Has
q Cigar Lighter.
The toddy blossom on the nose, says DR..
William Gray, Of Washington, has bsen for
years an atfiiction to the amateur inebriate.
Usually he is interested as to the philosophy
of the symptom. 1t is very simple. The
skin that covers the nose is very full oi
little blood vessels-highly vascular, as we
say. Alcohol weakens the nerves which
control the circulation of the blood. Thus
an accumulation of blood at the end of the
nasal organ closes mp the mouth of one of
the little sweat glands which are found all
lover the body. So the perspiration fails to
escape from the pore that is ordinarily
open; 1t forms clot. and nature seeks to re-
move the clot by Inflammation. That makes
q toddy blossom.
Long continued indulgence in an excess
of alcohol occasions a general clotting
of the sweat glands which results in
swelling OF the nose. so that a mans pro-
boscis may eventually assume the appearance
of sweetbread, through fatty enlargement
of the degenerated tissue.

pr.integration of the Earth's surfaos.

A French geologist has made q careful
calculation of the amount Of solid matter
yearly carried off into the ocean by the ac-
tion of the rivers of the world and other
causes. He estimates that the reduction Of
the average height of the surface OF the solid
land is O.0O6 inches each year. Making al
lowance for the corresponding rise in the
bed of the ocean, and taking DO account Of
the occurrence OF volcanic and other excep-
tional phenomena-the general tendency OF
which il to hasten the process Of disintegra-
tion-the period at which the solid land viii
have ceased to exist, and the surface of the
earth will be covered with water, has been
estimated. As, however, that period 10
4, 800, 900 years distant, the prediction need
cause no immediate dissuietude.

1t l. Mistake to Suppose That Any Pro-

Chief Engraver Casalier, of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, says, through
the pen of writer in the Washington Star:
Reports have been circulated to the effect
that Photographic processes of new inven-
tiou have rendered counterfeiting so easy
that it is mere bagatelle to reproduce our
own notes with such accuracy that we our
selves cannot distinguish the real from
the imitation. So far is that from
being true that we were never go sure as we
are to-day of the fact that such processes are
not to be feared, and that our work can only
be dangerously initiated by the art of the
skilled engraver.
Against the accomplished workman with
the graver's tools, whose facility in the art
is equal to our own, we can never be en-
tirely secure, although nothing that he has
done yet has been beyond detection.
