the great interest attracted to these
trains by the people.
The show is not only a circus, but in
cludes menagerie, museum, aviary,
hippodrome, street parade and the
spectacle 1.-THE Fall of Nineveh." With
all these features, except the spectacle,
the public has been more or less famil-
lar. "The Fall of Ninevahn is, however.
a spectacle upon such scale of real
magnificence that it oyershadows pre-
vious attempts at spectacular display.
1t is the production of Rettig, the crea-
tor and originator of the great outdoor
exhibitions, "The Fall of Babylon"
"Rome under Nero" and several others
of that style. The following is recent
criticism on the exhibition, which we
endorse:
'Taken act for act and compared with
any other the programme must be con-
ceded the superior in both extent and
merit. One of the most notable features
of the establishment was its gentility
and tone in general. The utmost regard
for the comfort and enjoyment of the
audience was shown in every depart
ment. There was an unmistakable feel
ing of satisfaction depicted upon the
faces of the auditors as they left the
tents, and many were heard expressing
their qualification in having nothing
whatever to complain of except that
there was too much of it to see on one
visit, and they would have to see it
again."
The King in the Nineveh part is a
young man named Robert Whitaker,
who studied in Chicago. He has made
a decided "hit' in his role of King.

mitable Blodgett Ito whom we referred

A Few Pointers About the Dipper and
The North Star.
Mechanical News.
Mos, people on a clear day can,
without watch or other timepiece,
form closely approximate idea OF the
time Of the day by the position of the
sun, but few, perhaps, have guessed
at any similar method of computing
the time during the night without any
other means than the "starry skies. "
notwithstanding, a fairly reliable
time Indicator can be found in the
northern skies on every cloudlcs SIS
night. AS is generally known, the
group of fixed stars called the "Dip-
per" makes an apparent revolution
around the North star in every "a
hours, with the two stars forming the
outer elevation of the bowl of the
dipper pointing nearly directly to the
polar star continuously.
II the position of the 'pointers" is
taken at any given hour, say O'Clock
in the evening winter time and as
soon as it is dark in the summer, the
hour can thereafter be pretty accu-
rately measured by the eye during
the night. Frequent observations OF
positions will have to be made at the
given hour, as owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position in
space, the position Of the "pointers'
in relation to our point of observation
and the star also change. Ohserva-
tons taken during a year and i'm.
pressed on the mind will make yer,
good time indicator of that part Of the
celestial space.

CALIFORNIA ORANGES.

This Years Crop Very Unsatisfactory
The Seediess Navel Practically
an. g."
The California orange crop is de-
c'dely unsatisfactory, this year. The
few dozen boxes first received here
were almost tasteless aud many were
partly or wholly rotten. A later lot
Is much better, yet even it leaves
much to be desired. The fruit seems
to be dry, to have so thick skin as
to be almost "more peel than orange"
and to lack much of the flavor 90
priced in that fruit.
To be sure, it is known that the
frost greatly damaged the crop, and
no one, therefore, expected fully as
good fruit as was grown in more
favorable years; but better fruit was
looked for than has been received here.
That there are oranges and oranges
is we'll known; and this is why River.
side fruit, for instance, is preferred by
connoisseurs to almost any other raised
in California. But even there does a
great difference exist between varieties.
The "seedless navel" for instance,
which has heretofore been the very
primest favorite here, is so no longer,
because it is too dry and tasteless.
and the rind is too thick. What the
preferred variety will be in future it
is impossible to say; but that it will
not be the seedless navel is certain.

The report OF tire Brooklyn Depart

New York Press, pays an unconscious
tribute to the Mckinley bill which,
however, is not referred to directly or
indirectly. 1t shows that during 1891,
the year follow NC the passage of the
bill, that no less than 276 factories
and work hops were erected or pro-
iected. This is the largest number in
the history of BROOKLYN, which ranks
third as manufacturing center. One
of the factories will be devoted to the
manufacture of tin, and 500 men will
he employed in it. During 1890, be-

Navigating the Air.

From Flying Machines" by Julian st potolphe,
in North American Review for March,
If, then, a great weight should press
for only an instant against small
resistance-as that Of the ART
would for that instant be sustained
Hence it is only necessary for the
weight to move fast enough horizon
tally to rest for only an instant upon
any given mass Of air, in order to be
sustained. AS it moved from mass to
mass is would not have time to fall
through any one of them. The prin.
ciple is strikingly illustrated by Mr..
Lang, OF the Smithsonian Institution,
by comparing such mass to skater
moving rapidly over thin ice. The
briefest pause or diminution in his
speed, and his support would instantly
yield; but it is only necessary for him
to move fast enough to glide over a
film as thin as tissue paper. Here.
then, is the problem Of aerial naviga.
ton theoretically solved. Given a
mass Of any size or weight, spread
la,erally SO as to rest upon a suffi
GENTLY large mass Of air. and moving
with sufficient speed horizontally, and
your flying machine, so long dreamed
of, and so ardently sought, is achieved
Such is, or is to be, Professor Lang's
Aeroplane, the realization of the
magic carpet of the Arabian Nights.
May fortune and his happy genius
bring speedy success!

Behring Sea.

1t is useless to attempt to disguise it.
We are at the brink of war with Great
Britain, which in all likelihood will be
under full Roadway within the next
three months unless the common sense
of the people asserts itself and arrests
those who are hurrying us into this
dreadful catastrophe. We must recede
from the position we have taken or we
must fight.
There is upon our statute-book an
act of Congress asserting exclusive
rights of the United States in Behring
Sea, which rights England refuses to
concede to u.s. The President is pre-
pairing to enforce the act of Congress
by naval and military power. Great
Britain notifies us that she will resist
the attempt with naval and military
power, which means open, fragrant war
between the two countries. We have
no exclusive rights in Behring Sea and
the seals there no more belong to us
than to any other people.
Are the people of the United States
willing to go to war to maintain claims
that should never have been asserted
Are they willing to go into such strug-
gle as a war with Great Britain meansi
The fearful destruction of life that will
ensue is small part of the disaster

The Eldest Sister.

How much the world owes to the
older sister in the home, writes /.
Dewitt Talmage in his department. in
the March Ladies' Home J0uradt.-
Born while yet the family was in
limited circumstances, she had to hold
and take care of younger brothers.
And if there is anything that excltes
my sympathy it is a little girl carrying
round a great heavy child, and getting
her ears boxed because she cannot
keep him quiet. BY the time she gets
to Young womanhood she is pale and
worn out, and her attractiveness has
been sacrificed on the altar of sisterly
fidelity, and she is consigned to cell
bacy, and society calls her by an un-
gallant name, but in Heaven they call
her Miriam In most families the two
most undesirable places in the record
of births are the first and the last; the
first because she is worn out With the
cares of home that cannot afford to
hire help, and the last because she is
spoiled as pet. Among the grandest
equipages that sweep through the
streets of Heaven will be those Occu-
pied by sisters who sacrificed them
selves for brothers. They will have
the finest of Apocalyptic white horses,
ana many VINO Oh edruH lOoheu uoWH
upon them will have to turn out to let
them pass. And this leads me to the
thought: Let sisters not begrudge the
time and care bestowed on brother.
1t is hard to believe that any boy you
know so well as you do your brother
can ever turn out anything very useful
Well, he may not be a Moses. There
is only one of that kind needed for SIX
thousand years. But I tell you what
your brother will be-either blessing
or curse to society, and a candidate
for happiness or wretchedness. He
will, like Moses, have the choice be-
tween rubies ana living Goals, and your
influence will have much to do with
his decision.

The Recent Lynching.

The Warrenton Virgi1liG11 in its &C
count of the recent lynching of Dye
and Hefiin, says:
''There were forty-fve members OF
the party divided in squads OF eight,
each squad with a lieutenant, and
captain who had control of all. The
band was not made up of lawless and
irresponsible men, but of the best ele-
ment of citizenship. The captain went
around two days before the lynching
and examined every horse to see that
all the men would be well mounted.
The prisoners were taken out OF the
ambulance and the ropes put around
their necks. Both of them commenced
begging, DYE protesting his innocence.
Afterwards Dye confessed, saying he
was forced into it by Hefiin. The fol
lowing was uttered by Hefiin Joe
Dye you know you killed the old wo-
man with stick of wood. l did the
burning and if | killed any one it was
the little child" This was all that
Hefin said and it was after his cOnfes-
sion of burning the house and killing
the child that the lynchers thought he
might as well hang with Dye. Dye
briefly confessed to getting a large sum
of money. When asked what he did
with it, he said, II spent heap and
nv wife has the rest.n There was no
confession on the following point, but
it is universally believed by the lynch
ers and all of the people in the neigh
borhood of the crime, that Dye and
Hefiin added worsd sin to that Of
robbery and murder. Dye was led te
a redwood tree and at the first effort te
hang him the limb broke. He was ther
hung to stronger limb on the same
tree. Helm was than strung to an
other tree close by. Their bodies were
examined and it was well ascertained
that they were dead before shot was
fired at either of them. By this time
nearly all of the lynching party were
present and before the lynchers parted
they fired into the bodies. The lynch
ers were all masked.
