A Terrible Rita

The very latest invention in the way
of magazine small arms, and one not
yet submitted TO the United States army
board, is the gun that has just been put
in test by the Italian authorities The
rife is four feet long and of the smallest
cali6er yet attempted, .256-inch- Ths
speed of the bullet is 2 1850 feet-second,
and as regards its penetrative force it il
said that the ball viii pierce two mat
tresses and two planks five inches thick
at distance of nearly mile. Load
ing is effected by means of chargers
containing five cartridges arranged SO
that repeating fire may be obtained
until the magazine is exhausted. Many
sf the experts who attended the trials
are of the opinion that the weapon i,
the most destructive at present existing
among European armies.

Valuable Spoons.

Collectors who pick up strictly GEM
inc apostle spoons for couple of dollars
a spoon will be interested to know that
a Set of twelve such spoons was recently
sold at Christie's in London for two
thousand dollars. They had silver-gilt
stems, surmounted by gilt figures of the
apostles, but their great value arises
from the fact that they were a present
from Charles II. to the wife of Sir Rob
ert Clayton, lord mayor of London.

How Different Animals Eat.

The cat always turns rabbits skin
inside out, leaving it reversed like q
glove The weasel and stoat eat the
brain, nibble the head, suck the blood,
and leave the body. A fox always
leaves the legs and hinder parts 1t
generally bites the head off to begin
with, and then skins the body neatly,
as it hates the fur in its mouth a dog
tears it to bits, while crows and mag
pies peck the eyes out before touching
the rest of the BODY.

THE WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY.


When Mr.. Porter of the eleventh CEN
sus gets around to it he may be able to
show that the capital invested in COM
mercial enterprises in this country is
not far from $50, 1000, 900, 900. In 1880 it
was something over 100000, oo0, 900. 1t
has been estimated that Mr. Porter's
figures would show the present amount
to be $50, O00, 900 900; but have seen es-
Inmates which lead me to believe it
viii be $40, 900, 600, eco above these fig
ures. England can show nothsng like
it. This is an enormous increase in ten
years, and shows the earning power Of
the money which is invested in business
enterprises in the United States, and,
with a continuous stream from this vast
body Of capital flowing into New
York, IT bears out what my friend
has said, that this city will some day
be the greatest center Of capital
in the world. A very good idea of the
magnitude of some of the transactions
In real estate and other branches
Of trade can be had by an occasional
visit to the Real Estate exchange. Not
the largest sales are reported on the
open board, but In that atmosphere one
hears of the fat slices that are occasion
ally cut of, and in this way may obtain
an idea Of richest New York"

A NEW ''RiALTo.'

Among the notable changes in New
York city is the removal Of the "Rialto"
from Fourteenth street to the neighbor-
hood Of Twenty-eighth street between
broadway and Sixth avenue For years
the Morton house and adjacent cafes
constituted the resort of ali unemployed
actors and theatrical people aroand
town. 1t was here that they gathered
to gossip and guzzle, and one could find
at different stages of the season assem-
bled here every phase of Thespian, from
the track walker up to the heavy
"swell" who had played the whole sea-
son with Booth. But with the actors,
as with all things else, the movement
in New York is northward, and the
new "Rialto' is to be found on Twenty
eighth street now. Passing through
there, the other morning, / saw upon the
lofty steps of a new and pretentious dra-
matte agency at least twenty-five artists
of various degrees and classes. Grouped
about were other professional gentle
men, while up and down the street and
in and out the agency passed all shades
and phases of the professional feminine;
most of them bleached as to hair,
tavdry and loud as to attire. ! was
particularly struck with the appearance
of these male actors as compared with
the school of aqear-ter Of a century ago.
These fellows of to-day have the appear
ance of gamblers and men of sporting
proclivities. They run to checked
trousers, striped shirts, variegated belts
and stomach bands, russell shoes and
every conceivable shade of hat band.
The clerical-looking, high class actor Of
quarter of century ago, with his
turned down collar, dark garments and
long hair. is missing.

NEW ToRK AS A FINANCIAL CENTER
"New York Will some day become the
center of more wealth than any other
city in the world" So said business
man to me who has means of acquiring
important information in financial af-
fairs Either London. Paris or Berlin
can at present buy rs many times over"
said he. 1.-The ease with which the Bank
of France dumped enough money into
the Bank of England to avert panic,
which would have been worldwide in
its effects, is a splendid example Of the
fraternity of capital This fraternity
and good feeling is probably born of ne
cessity and expediency rather than gen.
uine affection; but in any event it ex-
lists. You may set it down as fact that
capital on one side of the world will
stand for and sustain capital in distress
on the other side When France needs
help England can be depended upon TO
come TO her rescue, even though she has
to pawn the crown jewels and cut the
prince of Wales portion There is less
/ asked my friend for some specific
reasons why he thought New York
would become the richest money center
In the world.
''It is the commercial and financial
center of the United States The natu-
raj resources Of this country are practi-
cally exhaustless- What our farms will
not grow we can dig from the bowels Of
the earth-coal, iron, oil. marble, gold,
silver, pretty much everything of great
value except diamonds. The country
has only begun to produce. The old
world is waning. Its mines are becom-
ing exhausted. The tin mines of Wales
are even getting down to hard pan, and
it is thought not to be worth while to
prospect for any others like them Our
American tin mines may be largely
mythical, but those of Cornwall cannot
always be depended upon The capital
of the country is flowing into New
York in golden stream The rich
men, and the money makers, who will
some day be the rich men, all graVitate
this way. There are over 100 million
aires in the city of New York now, and
a large percentage of these are
millionaires many times over. Think
of it! Fifteen hundred means the popu-
lation of a good-sized village, and
everybody multinillionairel'
