Two fine steel cruisers, the Etruris and
the Umbria, have been launched from
the yard of Messrs. Orlando Brothers, at
Leghorn. They are provided with ar.
mored bridges, and are each Of the ca
pacity Of about 2, 800 tons. Their length
is so meters. beam IL meters, and depth
Sc meters. The engines. which have
been constructed at the works of Messrs.
Orlando, are on the triple expansion sys-
tenn, and develop 6 800 horse power. A
speed of nineteen knots per hour will be
attained. The designs of these vessels
have been made by the italian naval au-
thorities, and the engines have been de-
signed by Messrs. Orlando. The engines
are intended to develop the maximum Of
power with the least possible weight.
and are said to combine all the latest
improvements in naval engineering.

Sanitary science, says the Sanitary
News, is . science that does not relate
70 the earth we live on or to the heavens
we live under, bat to the conditions Of
the homes we live in. We can live on
the earth or under the heavens without
knowing much about them, but to live
best in our homes we must know them
we'll. Geology cannot change the eondi-
tions of the earth beneath us, or astron-
omy those of the heavens above US, but
sanitary science can change from unheal-
thy to healthy the conditions of the homes
we live in. Is it not then q science wor-
thy Of study. 1t touches the highest
interests Of mankind, c~leanses and puri-
6es the present generation, and will
strengthen and will glorify posterity.
The effects Of obedience to its laws are
not remote but immediate. They touch
the everyday life of all, and enter into
all the relations of life. They give
strength and vigor to whatever capacity
in which human endeavor is put forth.

The great treasury vault at Washing

The great treasury vault at Washing
ton. built not long ago. covers more than
a quarter Of an acre and is twelve feet
deep. In its interior there is q cage OF
iron lattice work, the bars Of which were
riveted together with red-hot rivess at
ter the lattice work was put up. 1t took
100, 600 rivets 10 fasten the iron work OF
this vault together, and the lattice had
to be very strong, as the silver is very
heavy. The amount OF silver now in the
vault weighs over 5000 tons, and you
could put these 800, 900, 900 on one side
Of the scales, and $4,000 men, each
weighing $50 pounds. on the other side.
and the silver would outweigh them. 1t
would take It's freight cars to carry this
silver to the sea coast If America should
be conquered and the treasury vault was
looted. And still this is only a small
part Of the coin in the treasury. There
is another vault which contains S59,0O0,.
