Immigration to Australia.

A short time ago leading Scotch
newspaper printed letter from q cor
respondent who sought for information
and advice in regard to migrating to
Australia. The expectation was that the
inquirer would get some advice from
some Australian reader of the paper. He
did. A man writing from Sidney offers
the following advice to the eager Inn
migrant: II. Change your mind.
2. Take course OF lessons from an
acrobat In lightning changes. We
have no climate, only samples. and we
show q great many In twenty hours.
8. Take life belt. 4. Lot your
clothes be mud color. They will as
sumo this hue very soon, anyhow.
8. Take few hogsheads Of carbolic
Geld. The people have never seen
their'way to knock q ten per cent. divi-
dend out Of drainage scheme, hence
they do without one, and ask you:
sWhat do you think Of our tramways?'
8. Buy return ticket"

How Fashionable Women Are Likely tu
Contract Throat Troubles.


Contract Throat Troubles.
Society 'eadcrs must face another

Dispatch. representative, ''vcry often
suffer from 4 peculiar throat trouble as
a direct result of their society af;lli-
ations. 1t is not caused by decollctc
dresses, as might be supposed, either,
or tho rapid transitions from hot rooms
to the cool outer air, although these
things nre not conducive to robust
health. The affection refer to comes
from a straining of the vocal cords, and
often takes on the form of tonsilitis.
Anyone who has attended half-dozcn
fashionable receptions, and especially
those at which women only are pres
ent must have noticed how the clGmor
OF many tongues in crowded rooms
makes it necessary for one to raise the
voice to be heard. The fact is that
when fifty or one hundred women meet
in parlor, often a ridiculously small
room for such gathering, the average
woman who wants to get q word in
even edgewisc must shout at the top of
her voice. Let her keep this mp for
half an hour in generally superhcated
atmosphere and her throat is bound to
suffer. When she gets home she feels
as if she had caught cold, and very likely
for day or two after she will have an
aching in her throat which she will
blame on the abominable climate, that

ton OF the Drive WhC6L
The number of scxhausts" emitted
by an ordinary locomotive Is four for
every revolution of the driving wheel,
nnd these con be easily counted when
tho engine is leaving station with a
good, heavy load, as 1t moves slowly
and the ''puffs" are distinct, nnd take
place as the crank pin passes the right,
upper, left and lower centcrs. AS an
example, will take Midland express
engine and work out the number of
"puffs" it ernits in going q given dis
tance, says "a writer in tho Enquirer.
We will take the run from London
(St. Pancras) to Leicester, 100 miles
(0oA miles is the correct distance, but
for simplicity we will take the former
figure). The diameter Of the driving
wheel is about Z feet; this, multiplied
by 3.14i5, will give Us the circumfcr-
ence, which comes to nearly 22 feet,
which we will consider as correct.
Now, if we divide 100 miles (the dis
tance traverscO by % feet (the cir
cumferenco of driving whecD, we
shall get the number of revolutions of
the main wheel in running this dis
tance. There are $4,000 feet in 100
miles; this. divided by s2, gives $4,000
as the number of revolutions. Now, as
there ure 4 ''puffs" to each revolu-
ton, 24,ooox4 will give us the number
of ''puffs" in running 100 miles, which
amounts to $4,000. The express trains
are allowed a little over two hours to
do this journey, but have q record be-
fore me which gives the details Of a
F.. fine run by the Scotch express from
Leicester to London on April 2S, which
journey was accomplished in 1 hour
and 40 minutes, or an average rate
of nearly 81 miles. This was alto
gether an exceptional run. So, we will
allow two hours for the journey, when
we shall find that the number of
"puffs" per hour is $4,000, or an average
Of 800 per minute. Edinburgh is 400
miles from Kings Cross SO that IN en-.
gine with the same size of driving
wheel as just mentioned would give O
grand total of 3o4, 900 "pufss'' in accom-
plishing that distance.

Washington dispatch: Perry Belmont.
OF New York, reached Washington from
Chicago, where he had been to attend
the conference regarding changing the
date for the Inauguration exercises Of
the Worlds Fair next October. The
differences between New York and Chi
cago over the date upon which the two
cities will celebrate the 400th anniver-
sary OF the discovery of America were
amicably adjusted at the conference,
and the two celebrations will not con-
flict in any way.
Messrs. Belmont. r. b. Roosevelt and
Secretary Wall, of the New York Citi.
Zens' Committee of 100, and the Board
Of Control of the Columbian Exposition
were parties to an agreement drawn up
by Director General Davis and Mr.. Bel
mont, by the terms of which the officers
and others interested in the Chicago
celebration will make no opposition to
the efforts of the New York gentlemen
to secure the passage of a Joint resolu-
tion by Congress changing from Oct Il
to Oct. Fl the date on which the ami.
versary exercises at Chicago shall take
place.
The celebration at New York city,
which will include the naval display OF
all nations, is fixed for Oct. u, and that
day has been declared legal holiday
by the Legislature of New York. II
was out of this conflict of dates with
the Chicago celebration that grew the
controversy which has been raging fol
some weeks, and which threatened tc
seriously interfere with the success OF
the events in both cities. But by this
compromise those interested believe
that the interest in the two will b,
heightened and their success increased

uNLucKY 1892.
The Most Disastrous Year tho United
states Has Ever Known.


II the remaining six month OF this
year shall duplicate or even approx
mate to the record of disasters which
have occurred in the first six the year
1892 will be set down as the most fatal
TO life in the United States that has ever
been known. Fires, floods, explosions,
mine casualties, cyclones, wlnd-storms,
lightning-all the elemental forces in
deed seem TO have combined with human
agencies to destroy life, and to present
parison with which ordinarily terrible
events seem to lose their significance or
attract personal attention only.
Since January there have been four
destructive wind storms, killing nearly
200 persons, viz. April /, Missouri and
Kansas, rs; May, 16, Texas, Is; May
81, Wellington, Kan, SO; June 16, South
ern Minnesota, so. In the same period
there have been four great floods, viz.
April IL, Tombigbee River, $50: May 1S,
Sioux City, Iowa, 35; May 20, Lower
Mississippi, 36; June 5, fire and flood,
Oil Greek, Pa, 1875. There also have
been four mining disasters, viz: Jan.
z, McAllester, 1. T., Co. April 20, Miners
willie, Pa, II; May 10, Roslyn, Wash.
A; May IA, Butte, Mont, IL. Three
fires have been unusually disastrous
to life, viz: Jan. 21, Indianapolis
Surgical Institute, 10; Feb. z Ho-
tel Royal, New YorlR, 80; April
2S, theater, Philadelphia, ~. Besides
these there were on March 81 an ex-
plosion at Jordan, Mich, by which 10
lives were lost; June 13, the explosion
at the Mare Island Navy Yard which
killed 15; and June 15, the fall of the
bridge over Licking River by which 80
lives were sacrificed These are this
principal disasters of the year thus far,
and they involve an aggregate of 96s
lives. Adding to this total the sum OF
losses by minor accidents as reported
in the newspapers, we have the follow
ing sad and unusual record: By fire,
S76; by drowning, 1864; by explosions.
313, by falling structures of various
kinds, 267; by mine disasters, 30S; by
wind storms, $40; and by lightning,
l2O; grand total, 1858. The total
loss OF life by these causes during
the whole of last year-and 1891 was
one Of the most destructive years on
record-was 5,762. So it is evident that
1892 will far surpass its predecessor. II
is sad and appalling record, this, of
great disasters following so closely upon
each others heels. 1t recalls the days
OF the war, when one took up the morn
ing paper only to read the list of killed
and wounded in the previous days bat
tie, and with the same result then as
now, viz, that the great battles so over
shadowed the smaller ones that little
attention was paid to the latter. So
now the great cataclysms so far eclipse
the smaller ones that the latter, though
they would be considered as shocking
and exceptional in any ordinary time,
are now hardly an hours wonder.

A Party OF Aeronauts Precipitated
the Ground.


the Ground.
A frightful accident occurred at the
Crystal Palace, London. piece being
given at the palace lately is called THE
Tragic Episode, but Wednesday the
audience witnessed a real and terrible
tragedy. Captain Dale, the well-known
aeronaut, was TO give a balloon exhibi-
ton in the presence of thousands OF
Sunday school holiday seekers. The cap
tain invited any who desired to accom-
pany him on his voyage in the air. Sew
eral volunteered and the balloon started
on its upward flight, the great multitude,
largely composed of children, watching
1t with wondering gaze. Suddenly the
balloon burst, and a cry of terror arose
from the audience as the balloon col
lapsed with noise as of the discharge
of huge cannon. The aeronaut fell to
the ground dead, and three OF the pas
sengers were seriously injured.
