1t is often asked. regarding the sea
sons, whether they alter from year TO
year, whether there is positive change
in climate from century TO century.
The general opinion seems to be. ac-
cording to the New York Press. that
the springs and summers are cooler
than they were once, and that the win
tiers are less cold.
The records of thermometrical obscr-
vations show that the temperature Of
the month Of May is diminishing. but
that the temperature of the year, taken
together, rather tends TO increase
Taking into consideration a period of
fifty or sixty more years, there has been
observed an actual diminution of the
mean temperature in the climate of
France. But observing a longer period
comparing, for example. the earliest
centuries of French history with the
present time-no sensible difference of
the seasons can be established.
For example. the Roman emperor.
Julian. was very fond of living at Paris.
and about A. d. 800 he made several
long sojourns in that city. In his Mis-

a DIFFICULT JOB.
The Mending of the Suspension Bridge at
Niagara.

NAaEafsi
The cables of a suspension bridge are
subjected TO great strains. and are
therefore firmly anchored TO heavy
masses Of masonry by means of long
bars Of iron or steel having holes at
each end by which they are bolted or
pinned together. The Engineering
News SAYS that one of the bars in the
anchorage Of one end of the smaller
suspension bridge al Niagara was found
recently TO be broken. The problem of
replacing ii was difficult. since the wires
attached to il had 10 have the same ten
sion when II was in place that they had
when the old bar was intact. The new
bar was formed of Piece of steel
twenty feet long, six inches wide and
three-quarters of an inch thick, with a
hole in one end and band bolted TO the
other. This band was designed TO pass
around an iron bar in the abutment and
resist the pull of the wires. When
the band had been placed about this
pin in the masonry and bolted to its
bar the bar was carefully heated by a
wooden fire in a trough below until il
had expanded sufficiently to allow the
end of the wire cable 10 be connected
with il. As il cooled II contracted until.
when it reached its normal temperature
the wires attached TO il were strained
TO the same degree as the others, and,
in this way, a difficult problem was
easily and cheaply solved.

There is rumor TO the effect that an

the current of European emigration
from the United States TO that coun-
try. There is room in Mexico for many
more people, but ii is 10y no means as
sparsely inhabited a country as many
Americans think, says the Denver Re
publican. In area it Is about one-fourth
as great as the United States. Its pop

in the United States would give this
country about -, ,OOO, 900, which is but
100000 less than the census of 1850
showed our population to be in that
year.
Mexico needs a different kind Of
population, rather than an increase.
About one-half the people are full
blooded Indians, and of these onc-half
are uncivilized. There are about 1.OOO,
OOG whites, the majority of whom, of
course, are of Spanish descent. The
remainder, with the exception of few
negroes and Chinese. are of mixed

therefore, in the people who have In
dian blood. If they shall not develop
10 high civilization the country will
always be governed by small class,
composed chiefly of the whites.
Fortunately the civilized Indians of
full blood are a quiet, orderly people,
capable Of performing a great deal of
labor and attaining to proficiency in the
mechanic arts. Juarez, one of the
greatest of Mexican statesmen and gen
erals, was a full-blood. The hybrids,
like hybrids generally, are worse than
their paren IS of either stock and have
caused great deal of trouble Immi-
grafton Of good class from northern
Europe would do Mexico good. because
the immigrants would set an example
of industry and thrift to the natives.
But there is not much inducement for
immigrants of the laboring. mechanic
or agricultural classes TO settle in Mex
leo. The demand for labor does not
equal the supply, and the farmers would
find but poor markets for their prod
ucts Mexico is a good country for men
with money TO invest in mining and
other industries requiring large capital.
but TO immigrants without means the
field is not inviting.

Now let Us start with the most common

are favorable for a change from

Following up this line of thought IL has

INSURANCE AGAINST BORES.

From London comes news of the or
raniZation of a Social Demands lnsur-

of the question that each man and wom-
an puts TO himself: How much can
give without seeming shabby when
asked To give money To objects for
which they have no sympathy, but 70
which tradition or some sense Of reel
procity obliges contribution
There are always restless people
about getting up statues, testimonials.
anniversary gifts, from silver dinner
services down to quill pens, whom one
wishes in Jericho, but are impossible To
refuse. To thus tighten these needless
burdens of life comes the Social De
mands Insurance company.
According u a writer in the London
Times this society, on receipt of sub
scription graduated according 10 the in
come and needs of the members, viii
transact for them the whole business on
the cheapest possible scale. The So
ciety will not be afraid of being called
shabby, having no corporal delicacy Of
feeling.
Members (who have paid in their sub
scriptions) viii merely send TO the sec
retary each week their social begging

rupt stock of clocks, epergnes, brIc-a-
brac. silver, books. Thus il viii be able
TO furnish suitable presents at reduced
prices.
The London society goes far in engag-
ing a staff of sculptors, ghosts, impress
sionist painters, in acquiring a collec-
ton of painters misfts that can bc
easily altered To suit the occasion. and
other artistic refuse that may be util-
lied at reasonable terms.
The subscription of a duke, for ex-
ample, TO the Social Demands Insurance
company is put at go los, while per
son of letters would not be charged
more than Is. Sd.
In this country. until the tariff is re-
duccd. the subscription of the rich men
ranking with the English dukes would
be approximately $40, while writers
would be proportionately charged not
more than g a year. These sums. how
ever, are initiation fees, and engage
