At the depth of about $500 feet
 in the ocean, waves are not felt. The temperature is the same, vary ing only trifle from the ice of the North Pole to the burning sun of the equator. A mile down (5,2SO
 feet) the water has a pressure of over ton to the square inch. fla box six feet wide were filled with sea-water and the water were allow ed to evapOrate under the sun, there would be two inches of salt left on the bottom. Taking the average depth of the ocean to be three miles there would be layer of pure salt 23O feet thick on the bed of the At lantic, if the oceanic water were to evaporate. The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In many bays on the coast of Norway the water often freezeslat the bottom before 1t does above.-New York Ledger.

It would appear from the high rates of exchange and gold exports that the foreign trade balance is still turning against us. Exports of breadstufs in January were less than year ago, but in cotton and provisions there was a gain and there is a lot of cotton and grain to go outyet. Still, unless a larger foreign demand for American se- curities appears than at present, we shall probably lose more gold. But money remains comparatively easy in London, and the bank rate of discount was not advanced last week.---Springfield Republican.

There is no doubt but the form of a roof has much to do with the draught of chimney. The flat roof offers no resistance to the pas sage of air, but as the pitch is in- creased the current is more and more disturbed, until with high pitched and many-g -gabled roof it is broken into innumerable eddies, some of which are sure to curl down and force the smoke and gases in the hue into the rooms below. Chimneys on such roofs should be built higher than ordinarily.-Sci- entifc American.

An interesting exhibition of a working locomotive model supplied with an invention owned by the Ries Electric Traction and Brake Company, was given recently in Philadelphia. The purpose of the invention is to increase the adhe- sion between the wheels of steam locomotives and the rails. The in vention consists of a small dynamo and an auxiliary engine placed up- on the locomotive il such 6 way as to be easily operated, furnishing a current of small force, but large quantity, which is made to pass from one pole of the dynamo to one pair of driving-wheels, thence along the rail to the other pair of drivingwheels, thence to the other pole of the dynamo, thus forming travelling circuit, moving at all times with the locomotive. By means of this current an incipient weld is caused between the wheels and rails at the point of contact, and the company claims that the slipping of wheels will be entirely avoided. The working model of the device shows an increase of 400 per cent. in the hauling power of the locomotive.

The shipments of flour, and pro- visions from Chicago to the sea- board by the lines in the Central Traffic Association last week aggre- gates 45,222 tons, against 4O,676 tons for the week previous, an in. crease of 4,546 tons and against 52,315 tons for the corresponding week last year, a decrease of 7,O93 tons. The Vanderbilt lines carried 54 per cent of the traffic, the Penn sylvania 15 per cent, the Chicago and Grand Trunk 23 per cent, and the Baltimore and Ohio s per cent. New York Times.

It is doubtful if there has been for years so uneventful a week in the stock market as last week. In New York the total sales of listed stock were only 5S0,00O shares, of which 36O,000 were furnished by ten stocks, while in Boston the sales for the week were only 92,0O0 shares. Spite of it's extreme dullness the market has been fairly steady, and at the close of the week those stocks which show net advance are in the proportion of four to one, which show a net decline.- Boston Advertiser.

From all accounts we are likely to have another gold rush" in South Africa. Cablegrams from Kimberley announce that an official of the British South Africa Compa- ny has returned from Mount Shan kuru, and reports the discovery of large deposits of alluvial gold, while further advices from Manica- land confirm the reports of rich discoveries of the auriterous lodes. Attention is, therefore, being direct ed to the shares of the Zambesi Gaza and the Zambesi Sofala. Each company owns 500 claims, with a capital of 942, 800 but both are managed by the same board. These 1000 claims are situate in country where the reefs have assayed from ' ounces up to 209 ounces per ton, London Times.

When clergymen like Rev. Drs. E. B. Hale and Phillips Brooks, of Boston, Heber Newton and c. c.

Tom Fitch ceased his worship at the Ciceronian altar long enough, the other day, to add another lau- rel to the multiplicity of his pro fessional attainments. This time he engaged in the purchase of a gold brick with the usual results. In going from San Diego to Los Angeles an apparent Apache Indi- an and a rough looking miner sue ceeded in selling the oleaginous Thomas and friend a gold brick at Oceanside. It cost them $2,650 after a good bit of haggling, since which time even Toms silver tongue is not long enough to com pensate for the gold that is gone :; the brick proved to be a copper al- Joy. Most old Arizonans would be willing to swear that the Hon. Toms training and experience in Arizona as an orator, miner, an attorney, a class leader, a lecturer, a newspaper man, legislator-es- pecially in the third house, an op- era house builder, a star actor, a horse fancier and a railroad man, should have furnished him sufli- cient experience in life without en- tering into this new field; but there is no estimating the possibilities of existence ill his case.-PhGnix Herald.

Col. R. G. Head, a st)ckman
 known all over the west, makes the following statement to the Mexico
 Stock Grower:
 l am often asked what price I
 think steers will command this year, It is the most difficult ques- ton to answer that can be asked Every indication makes it reason ably certain that this year will wit ness shortage in steer cattle of all kinds, and the natural conclusion would be that higher prices will prevail than have been paid for sev- eral years and for we'll graded cat tie l believe such will be the case, but for owners of scrubs I see noth- ing to encourage their hope for higher prices in the signs of the times. Nearly alll who have han dled scrub stock in the past few years have nothing but a tale of woe to repeat, and while it seems that the advance should be gener- al, 1t is certain that the owners of scrubs will be able to realize but a small percentage of the same in the present condition of sentiment in the matter of blood.

Fifteen years ago it was only in teIegraphing that electricity had large application in this country
 Now MT. Edison estimates that $6OO,O0O,OOO are invested in electri- cal industries. The growth has been phenomenal, and has added great ly to the conveniences and to the sources of wealth which the people enjoy. But, nevertheless, it would
 be interesting to speculate on the uses to which that $600,000,000 of capital would have been put had re- cent discoveries in electrical science not been made.-Macon Telegraph.

Some nickel-steel plates recently tested at the Carnegie works, the specimens being cut from a three fourths inch plate,g gave excellent re- suits. The elastic limit is said to have been 5000 to 6O,OOO pounds, and the ultimate strength 100000 to 102,000 pounds. The reduction of area was 294 per cent and 263 per cent respectively.

According to the latest observa- tions, which Dr. Finsterwalder has published, as stated in The Scottish Geographical Magazine forFebruary the region occupied by advancing glaciers is extending from west to east, and has lately crossed the lim- it's of the eastern Alps. The gla- ciers in this region have been reced- ing during the last thirty years, but now there is undeniable proof that those of the Ortier group, at any rate, are in a state of progression.

Major W, II. H. Lewellyn, the energetic live stock agent for the Santa Fe road, stated recently to the Stock Grower that the company he represents have arranged to ship cattle through from De,ning to St. Louis in palace stock cars, with out stopping to feed or water en route-the cars being provided for such emergencies. This service which should be extended to all points, will be of great benefit, f. nancially as we'll as otherwise, to shippers of cattle.

An eminently practical German scientist is said to have applied a mild current of electricity to swarm of bees, quickly causing them to fall to the ground in a stu pefed condition. The bees could be safely handled while in this con- dition, and if the electrical current were not too strong no injury was done to them.

Probably a Fatal Blow.

Washington dispatches of tn 24th, though meagre, indicate tha the Senate of the United State has approved the disgracelul join resolution of the Candler smelling committee which passed the House of Representatives some days since.
 In all the history of congress the leaves will be searched in vain for such insulting and disgraceful ac- tion as that taken in reference to Worlds Fair matters. The blush of shame mantles every honest face at the thought, of congress, the great representative American body, boldly declaring against the Colum- bian Exposition-disinheriting it's own child. This is what the pass age of the joint resolution means.
 Deeming it proper and fitting that America should celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christo- pher Columbus, congress passed a law authorizing the governors of the several states and territories to nominate commissioners and di- recting the President to commits sion them. This same law defined the duties oft the commissioners and under its provisions they proceeded to work. If the law was not pro perly interpreted by the Ma tional Commission the fault lay with congress in not clearly defn- ing the scope and powers of the commission.
 Now the congress says 10 the commission, "Gentlemen, there is nothing more for you to do-go home and let Chicago hold a local Fat Stock Show, as she has beeh accustomed to do for years. The government washes it's hands of the whole business and from this time forward is not responsible for its own act. Go home."
 Not only is the action of con gress in this case disgrace to the whole people of the United States, but it is an insult to every Nation on earth. The President, acting in good faith as directed by the act of congress, issued his proclama- ton inviting all peoples to partici- pate in a great national and interna- tional exposition to be held in Chi cago in 1893 and promising the protection of this governmental all visitors.
 Now congress steps in and gives tie lie to this proclamation by de nationalizing the fair and setting up the claim that the child is ille- gitimate and not entitled to sup port, A most dastardIy and cow ardly attack in the rear.
 Seemingly there is but one thing left for the National Commission to do. That is to meet in April and by resolution return to con- gross the naked child that august body has basterdized and then ad- journ sine die.-Northwestern Live Stock Journal,

Slowly Dying Gut.
A gentleman who for a numbe

A gentleman who for number
 of years has been q merchant do
 ing business in Taiohas, a seaport
 of the island of Nokohiva, in the
 Tahitan group, arrived in thls city
 a few days ago for the purpose oi
 purchasing supplies for his estab- lishment there. In speaking of the
 condition of the natives in the
 group he gave a startling and la
 mentable history.
 He denies positively that the na- lives are in prosperous condition, but on the contrary he says they are deterlorating and rapidly dy- ing out. He estates that there is lit tie or no encouragement given to settlers, that the natives have grown so irdolent from disease and excessive debauchery that 1t is al- most impossible for the European merchants to secure help, and that the tenure of service of the few they do manage to secure IS fckle, as the Government cOmpels them to work Q certain number of days in the year on the roads in pay ment of the taxes levied. It Is al- most a daily occurrence to have a Government official bounce upon a farm or plantation, and, notwith- standing the existence of labor contracts, which the Government claims to ackno wledge, the labor CTS are taken from the fields and forced to work the roads.
 To make the existing state of af- fairs worse the natives arc rapidly dying off either from the effects of that dread disease, ieprosy, or oth- CT diseases which are the result of their excesses. Independent of these terrible maladies the majori- ty of the natives have contracted the opium habit. The habit is not confined to the adult population, but the children also are hopeless victims of the drug.
 Although the restrictions placed upon the importation of the drug by the Government are very lax various and ingenious devices are resorted 10 to secure It's possession. It is concealed in the pOpoe, or mush, which composes the princi- pie article of food, and is often times concealed in the center of the taro plant, which is imported | from Honolulu. Unless some ac- tive and stringent measures are ta- ken by the Government to restrict its use and importation, and to seg- regate the lepers, the future of the island is very gloomy. Scores Of tho inhabitants are daily dying, while new settlers are few in num- bcr.-S. F. Chronicle.

Women in the Medical Profession.

A score of years can make,
 must be admitted, very materia
 changes in public opinion. We hay
 in mind the very suspicious and al
 together unenthusiastic hearini
 given by the public to the subjec
 opened for discussion some year ago by the graduating to the prac
 tice of medicine of Emily Black
 we'll and other progressive women Dr. Blackwell claims, we believe, tC
 have been the second woman grad uated in medicine in the United States. In a recent interview with a Boston Herald reporter this emi. nent woman sums up the points in the present aspect of the woman question as related to the study oi medicine. She advertS 10 the two strong influences which have pro- noted the cause of such education. The first which has been a favoritc subject with the press at large is the demand for women to practice among the women of Eastern coun- tries. It has been the case for sev- eral years that the demand is large ly in excess of the supply. Schools for the study of medicine have been established in Hindoostan, while women from India, China and Per sia are among the students of the American colleges. The Eastern woman, 1t seems, has decided that she will join the "woman move. ment" to the extent of refusing to die unaided; and now calls her Western sisters to her relief, Cairo sends to America for woman phy- sicians, going so far as to pledge the Egyptian Government as guar antee of the salaries. These sala- ries, by the way, are such as are calculated to open wide the eyes ol the small practitioner who carries in his saddle-bags the nostrums for his man -worshipping clientage and in his cranium an ineradicablc opin ion concerning the indclicacy at tending wOman's assumption of the role of healer and comforter. The second influence remarked Is the powerful and satisfactory impulse given by the indirect influence of lhe high grade literary colleges now open to women. Tbe medical schools are showing steady ad- vance in the character, intelligence, and cultivation of their matricu- lates. Going out as graduates these young women later do much to broaden and deepen the position and influence of the woman phvsi- clan. It is claimed that the high est health statistics furnished in New York two years ago were from asylums whose homes were under the charge of a woman resident. Last year the New York legislature passed a law requiring that one, at least, of the resident physicians in every state insane asylum should be a woman. The absolute exclusion of women from the great public in stitutions endowed for the purpose of giving post-graduates the advan- tages of wide hospital and dispen- sary experience is serious bar to their progress. All the indications, however, are that at 3 date not far distant this great field of labor will be equally opened to both men and women, and the freest scope given to their united efforts.-Macon Tel egraph.
