The Weight of Compact Bodies.

The load which Is produced by
dense crowd of persons Is generally
taken at eighty to 100 pounds pc.
square foot and is considered to be the
greatest uniformly distributed load for
which IL floor need be proportional
That this value may be largely ~.
ceeded i'll an actual crowd was pointed
out by Professor W. c. keruot. OF
Melbourne University, Australia, IN
recent paper before the Victorian In
stitute of Engineers, copied into En-.
glneer News. In An actual trial, n elias
of students averaging 1888 pounds
each i'll weight were crowded in lobby
containing 1923 square feet. making
an average floor load Of 1874 : pounds.
There WAS still room to have placed
another man, which would have
brought up the loading t. 1871
pounds per square foot Professor
kernot also quoted from Stoncy, who
placed tifty-eight laborers, Averaging
l45 pounds each in weight, imam empty
ship deCkhouse measuring tifty->cyrH
of l47.4 pounds per square foot. In
another test, with sevcntythrce labor.
ers crowded into hut nine feet by
eight feet eight inches, Stonry pro-
duced load of ZAP pounds per square
foot and estimated that two or three
more men could have been squeezed in.
1t appears from these experimentsthat
while the figures ordinarily assumed Of
eighty to 100 pounds are sufficicntly
correct for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 40 to ljo
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places ofpubhc as.

Cost of Discovering America.

Professor Ruge, one Of those Ger
mans who are all the while finding
something out, has learned from the
archives of Palos that the actual expenses
of the first Columbus voyage of dis
covery amounted to lao, 900 mara
vedis. Professor Rugc has found no
record of the cost of the caravels, and
he therefore offers no estimate of in
terest of the capital invested in those
vessels or the expense due to natural
deterioration, repairs, etc.
1t is only very moderatively interest
ing to know that the expenses amounted
to Il certain number of maravedis, be-
cause the average reader may not know
the present value of maravedi, much
less the value of that coin 400 years
ago. Many people do not even know
that coin of II given denomination
changes in yalue-in purchasing power
with the lapse of time, and many more
have only vague notion of the extent
of the change. 1t is, in fact, matter
of great difficulty to translate the money
ent time SO rs to get clear idea Of the
relative cost of commodities and SER
vices.
In the present instance Professor
Ruge attempts To translate maravedis
of the time of Columbus into German
marks, and we have to translate marks
into dollars with much liability to err
ror because given quantity of gold
and silver will to-day buy more of
most things i'll Germany than in the
United States. AS the result of the
double transaction we have the csti-
mate that the cost of the first voyage
of Columbus was about $500. That
looks like very small sum, but We get
Il modified idea of it when We are told
that the yearly pay of Columbus HIM
self was 1920, of the captains 1892 each,
of the pilots from $l32 80 to S153. 50
and of n surgeon only S3S.2 %, while the
sailors received less than $50 year

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW,
Senator Stanford No Longer Opposed
to this Immigration


Some surprise has been caused by Senator
Stanford's denunciation of Chinese exclu-
sion or restriction and OF the Geary law. In
an interview printed in San Francisco he
said:
1T is n serious thing to throw any impede
ment In the way of our Chinese trade. There
should never have been restriction law
passed in the first place and the Geary law
which has followed, is an outrage. did
not oppose it, for 1t appeared that some of
the people wanted 1t. | will admit that
one time | had fears Of the Chinese over
running this country, but for some years
have had none.
1--WE need the Chinese here to work in our
fields, vineyards, and orchards, and gather
our fruit aud do the common labor of the
country. do not know what We would do
without them, and l undertake to say that
they are the most quiet, industrious and alto
gether commendable class of foreigners who
come here. There Is no other class so quick
to learn, and none so faithful.
81 am persuaded, too, notwithstanding all
that has been said about the majority Of the
people being opposed to the Chinese, that
they are not opposed to them. 1t is only the
few. Our intelligent men are not opposed
to them, neither are the mechanics, because
the Chinese do not take up the trades. They
do simply the commonest kind of work, and
III doing so they do not really come into
competition with white labor.
Congress has nude no appropriation tor
paying the passage of these people back to
China, and the transportation companies are
not going to do II for nothing. 1t is estlma.
ted that OF the 10000 Chinese in the United
States 10000 Of them are in California. Ii
costs $50 each to send them back from here.
"They can talk about deporting them, but
as said, the steamships will not do II for
nothing. | know one steamship line, the
one am president of, the Occidental and
Oriental Company, that will not do 1t.
