American Morocco Leather.

Very little morocco leather is now i'm.
ported into this country. Up to about
the year 1880 nine .tenths OF the morocco
used was imported, and the amount
manufactured here was quite small. The
proportions have been about reversed
the last twelve years, aud now the out.
put OF Philadelphia, Wilmington, Bos.
ton and Lynn is far greater than the
total consumption was ut tie time
named. There is absolutely no reason
why any of this article should be i'm.
ported at all, and the home e-madc grades
are really better on the average than any
that can be imported. One American
house now turns out 10000 or $4,000
skins day, a1d the slaughter OF goats
for the purpose is quito extensive. 1t is
estimated that as many as 80, 100000
goats are slaughtered for their skins
every year, and this is probably true,
although most people would be apt to
doubt whether there ore as many OF
these interesting animals in existence.-

The MysierY Of Plant Scx.

1t was demonstrated by America,
botanists several years ago that whether
flowers were male or female was wholly
a matter OF nutrition. Whcre the re-
productive cells at the time of fortilizl.
ton were so situated as to be able C.
avail themselves of abundant nutrition
femal, flowers result. Where these cells
are not adven,ageously situated in this
respect, the result is male flowers. One
OF the strongest demonstrations of this
fac, is furnished by coniderous treed
Tne fema or t-oearing, flo wers all
borne or the strong and vigor m
branches, 'ly exposed to the light, ash,
tue most lntageously situated
upper po DL of the tree. .Thesp m,

in time to '..., oak, as they do by shad.
ing, or the weakening Of their power to
obtain full nutrition, they produce male
flowers only. Under this law there
ought to be cases on the boundary line,
where tho balance of nutritiyc power
should be so even, that tendency to
hermaphrodis II, or at least closer re-
Iation between the separate sexes should
exist than is usually the case in conif-
crous aud related plants. This closer
relation is often seen in the Indian
corn, where some OF the male flowers
produce pistils as we'll as stamens, aud
then grains OF corn occur in the tassel or
spike of male flowers. But IL Is not
often that couiferouS trees themselves
furnish the illustration. But Japau

instance which it figures. The pine

There is one thing about the Presi
dental election of 1892 which, says tac
New York Sun, will always keep it,
memory green in the field of American
politics, aud that is the facs tina. no ewo
people are, or probably ever will be
agreed about the figures of the result.
ANY concordance of the totals on the
popular vote seems TO be out Of the ques
ton, and yet the matter is probably as
nearly settled now as it ever will be, all
the States having cas-, their electoral
votes, and the total in each having been
officially promulgated. According TO
Democratic figures Mr.. Cleveand's net
popular plurality was 3S2, 2,342, though
hc was in an actual minority, according
to these figures of 959, ,225 on the total
vote. According TO the Republicans,
whose authority is the Tribune Almanac,
Mr.. Cleveland plurality was 3j5, ,2ll, and
he fell short OF majority Of the whole
vote cast by 1,O03,6S5. The discrep.
auces in the count arising from the
fusion electoral tickets which were vote
in many States. Thus, for instance, in
louisiana a ticIet was made up OF four
Republicans aud four Populists, and
there is no way OF determining how
their joint vote should be apportioned,
In Texus there were two Harrison cleo.
toral tickets, one of which received H..
900 votes, white the other received less
than 1000. But as the Democratic vote
in the Lone Star State was 339, 900, the
Republican division made no particular
difference. One popularity of the Pres
idontial election is the fact-a paradox.
ical one, indeed that though Mr.
Cleveland got no votes whatever iu
North Dakota, he got one electoral vote
there. Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and
Wyoming were the four other States
wherein he did not received a solitary
vote, while in Florida Mr.. Harrison re.
csi votes, no Republican electoral
liz g run.

Labor papers IN Italy have recently
copied articles appearing in New York
papers describing the miserable condition
OF Italian laborcrs living in the novels
of Mulberry street aud vicinity. Tho
Italian editors appear to be Mortified a.
the spectacle presented by the American
press, and they besecch their fellow
countrymen not to emigrate to this
country, as they are better or at hon,
than thcy would ever be in this city.

BY series of calculations it has been
demonstrated that it costs a railroad
company ten ceuts to stop locomotive

senger does not discover that he or she
land it is generally wonan) makes no
move to leave train until the order is
given TO 80 ahead, and Il train must be
brought to stop again to let the slow-
going passenger of. This little incident
costs the railroad company sixteen or
twenty cents, sometimes as much as the
tardy passenger has paid. This is one of
the little leaks that n railroad company
undertakes to guard against, and the
number of coaches TO train is limited
as well to save expense of stoppagcs a3
well as to lessen the number of pounds
OF coal consumed aud wear aud tear ol
its running gear.
