Miss ELIZABETH GREEN, Of Detroit,
seems to be the representative of Amer
lean beauty in Europe just now; she is
turning Partisan heads at present.
While at the silver wedding festivities,
the queen of Italy had her nephew
sent away on military service to keep
him safe from the pretty American;
the Roman shop windows displayed
photographs of Miss Green standing
beside this young count of Turin.
Still another conquest was the German
emperor, who said she was the only
woman he met in Italy sufficiently in
telligent for conversation, since which
speech the young lady has been called
"thc kaiser's Miss Green"

IT is matter of common occurrence
in England nowadays for an auctioneer
to sell q castle or an abbey, but it is
rare that an entire village comes under
the hammer, as will be the case when
the historic Aldermaston estate in
Berkshire is disposed of at anction
soon. This huge property comprises
the mansion house, situated in the CEN
ter of fine park renowned for its
ancient trees, together with the entire
village of Aidermaston.

SoME interesting experiments have
been made at Washington university,
st. Louis, with the largest hydraulic
testing machine in the world. 1t can
exert pressure of one million pounds.
Timbers such rs are used for pillars in
large commercial buildings were
crushed, not broken, lengthwisc \
piece of timber capable of sustaining
eight thousand persons was crushed
like an egg shell when placed in the
machine. The best brick piers two
feet square, columns Of granite foot
square and sandstone three feet square
are ground to powder with the great
est ease. The machine was designed
by Prof. J. 3. Johnson, who occupies
the chair Of consulting engineer in the
university, for the purpose Ct pursuing
Investigations being made by the gov
ernment of the strength OF commercial
woods grown in the United States.
The specimens crushed will form part
of an exhibit now at the worlds fair.

AN Economic Comnarison.

The United States is not in the lea st
dangerous to Europe in the matter of
present military power, but from an
economic point of view it threatens the
great military powers of the old world
with an industrial and economic COM
petition that may soon occasion all but
vital danger, according to the views of
the Paris Figaro. The debt contracted
by the United States during the civil
war will be extinguished before the
end of the century, whereas the total
debt of European countries is eSti-
mated at the enormous sum of $126,
OOO,OO0,OOO francs. The United States
has an army of $1,000 men, that is,
scarcely as many as one Of the nineteen
French army corps. In comparison
with these 27.C0O men, place the $780,
600 soldiers kept by the European
countries in time of peace, and it is
easy to see how much of their produc-
tive force the European powers an
nually sacFifce. Men thus taken from
peaceful cmployments are all in the
height Of their activity and at an age
when the character is forming. The
loss of revenue which results from
such a state of affairs is frightful when
it is looked upon as a factor in the in
dustrial war with the United States.
One must be blind not to see, in the
rapid development of the United States,
that Europe is threatened with such
competition that time will come
when the balance of industrial power
and political influence must be placed
to the profit OF the new world. That
movement threatens France and Ger
many more than any other European
nations, because they carry the heav-
lest loads and have the heaviest taxes.
