mated the purchases of the whole world,
world, exclusive of the United States,
in 1889, as 1888, 100000. "Poor's
Railroad Manual" shows that the rail-
roads of the United States carried in
1889 total freight traffic of $685.
$50 tons. 1t is estimated that 25 per
cent of this was Implications, which
would pull it down to 460,352,92o net
tonnage. Thirty dollars a ton is the
usual estimate of of the average value
of this tonnage, and that would make
our home traffic worth something like
$14,050,587, $40. Deduct from this our
exports of 1892, ,557 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1889, and we have
as the net annual value of our home
market $l3, ,558 8,366,283.

A Libel on Sweet Woman.

Size of Propellers.

''The small size of the screw" says a
boilermaker, sis not due to the perception
of any inventor of its greater effect as com
pared with larger one, but purely to acct
dent. When | first engaged in the ma
chinery business screws for steamers were
made as large as possible, it being the
theory that the greater the diameter the
higher the speed. A vessel was placed on
Lake Erie with screw SO large that it was
deemed best to cast each blade in two parts
and then weld them together. During a
storm all these blades of the propeller
broke at the welding, reducing the diane
ter by more than two-thirds.
To the surprise of the captain the vessel
shot forward at speed such as had never
been attained before. Engineers then ex
perimented with smaller propellers, and
discovered that they were much more ef
fective than large ones Had it not been
for that accident we might have gone OF
using large blade screws to the present
day. n-Exehange.

recent discoveries have thrown doubt on
its elemental character-is didymium, and

metallic substance found in the beautiful
beryl, Is quoted at R675. Yttrium, q rare

the rose red color OF certain Of its solutions,
Is also G40O per pound. Vanadium, deriv-
ing its title from one Of the appelIations
OF the Scandinavian goddess, Freya, and

killing the Maori Women.

Hitherto we have been told that the
vices introduced by white men are de-
populating the South Sea islands, but
now it appears that white women are
responsible for the rapid depopulation of
New Zealand When female mission
aries went among the Maoris they in
sisted that the Maori women should wear
clothing. The latter could not be in
duced to overcome their prejudice
against skirts, but discovering that the
missionary women wore corsets they
decided that the latter was a garment
not wholly devoid Of merit.
The result is that every Maori woman
now goes about her daily work neatly
clad in corset laced as tightly as the
united efforts of half g dozen stalwart
warriors can lace it. Being unaccus-
toned to tight lacing the women are
dying off with great rapidity, and the
repentant female missionaries now re-
greet that they ever asked their dusky
sisters to consider the question of cloth.
