A Just Criticism,

In the box with me was q German
who was seeing New York for the first
time, and studying the fashion of the
people after the thoughtful manner Of
Teutonic philosophers. He had been
listening with an air Of grave and judi
cial attention to the beauty in the right
hand box, when there was a rush and
rustic next door, and two young girls
and a man strolled into the box on the
other side of us. They were all New
Y DIRK girls. The newcomers were not
in the "best" society, though, doubt
less, they were people of soEle social
pretenslOns. They were perfectly
dressed. That was natural enough,
because they were both Americans.
After he Lad looked at them for some
time the German officer leaned over and
paid them a simple but tremendous
compliment.
What magnificent looking Great
ures," he said, softly. 81 believe that
nowhere in the Old World could you
match them. Pretty girls here are end
less in number, but is there not some
thing about them ?" he asked, dubious
ly.
Before [ could explain what this
something was, if l really knew 1t, the
younger of the girls nodded half-saucily

a bright smile of derision on her face.
"What startling old guy that was"

brightly.

girl, sedately. ''Sucn a sight ~

"Looks like the Whitechapel fend,"
interpolated the man who accompanied
the two young women, with broad
grin.
The whole tone of their talk was on
this slangy and guying level. | watched
the German closely. He was too polite
to criucise them till 1 asked his opin-
ion, and then he sighed and said softly,
as he shook his head: "The girls Of
New York are beautiful and happy.
Why is it that they do not speak their
own language ?"

"Ihe CrInllnai Type"

An important result Of the recent
Congress at Brussels on criminal an
thro pology has been the discrediting of
the so-called criminal type" or habit
ual criminal. The person who was born
a criminal, and must be one "nolems
volens,' was supposed to have a smaller
capacity OF skull than the average, a
more retreeting forehead, the back OF
head large. the lower jaw very strong
and pronounced, the ears often de-
formed, the hair coarse and thick, the
beard scanty, and SO forth. DR.. Tar
novski, of St. Petersburg, and DR..
Naecke, from very large collection of
data, maintained that there was no
special popularity in the physique OF
criminals, male or female, and the gem
eral tendency of the papers read and
discussions on the subject was to regard
crime as the result of social and psy-
chical rather than physical peculiarities.
1t is true that physical departures
from the normal type are commoner
among the criminal classes than the rest
of mankind, but no constant relation
ship between these and crime can be
detected. Many criminals inherit a
tendency to some form OF mental ir-
regularity. but many also ''go to the
bad" simply from deIeterious personal
and social influences. Society, it would
appear, is far more to blame for their
delInquencies than has been recognized,
or at least acknowledged, and if crime
is to be- stopped we must institute
sounGer moral teaching in schools, bet
eT systems OF local procedure, and an
improved doctrine of punishment

To Guide the Mariner.

The lighthouses of the world are in
round numbers 5000, with about $50
lightships. OF these lights Europe has
| $500; North America, !, 329; Asia, 476;
Oceanica 319; Africa, 219; South Amer
lea, 100, and West Indies, 106. The
coasts OF the United States are illumi-
mated by SO2 lights, distributed as fol-
lows: Atlantic coast, 467; Gulf coast,
7y; Pacific coast, 38, and the northwest
ern lakes, 21S. Of these lights thirty
two are displayed from lightships, near
ly all of which are on the Atlantic coast.
The most famous lighthouse of which
history gives any record was the light
house OF Pharos, on the eastern end of
the island of that name in the Bay of
Alexandria. 1t was begun by Ptolemy
Softer and was finished by his success
sOr, Philadelphus. 1t is said tohave been
400 feet high and to have cost 800 talents
equivalent to 81 100000.
The oldest lighthouse in the world IS
at Corunna, Spain, 1t was built in the
reign OF the Emperor Of Trajan, and in
1854 was reconstructed. England and
France have towers erected by their
Roman conquerers, which we're used as
lighthouses. Contrasting them with
the light-towers that have been built
for the benefit of commerce we see that
the lapse Of time. The great improve
ments of the later towers over their
predecessors is that the stones Of each
course are now dove-tailed together
laterally and vertically. Formerly
metal or wooden pins were
used or dependence placed entirely
in cement. The modern method was
first used at the Hanois Rock light, on
Guernsey. On the upper face and at
each end of one block are dove-tailed
projections, and on the under face and
at the other end, are dove-tailed linden
tations. The upper and under dove
tails tall into each other, and when the
hydraulic cement is placed on the sur
face it 30 locks the dove-tailing that the
stones cannot be separated without
breaking. So, when the cement is set
and hardened the whole Of the base is
literally one solid mass OF granite

The Latest Crank Idea.

A wholly new thing in the way of q
slot machine is reported by an English
trade journal. The aim of ali previous
machines has been to capture the cash
of the curious, but this one gives out
nickels instead Of taking them in. All
that is necessary is to turn a crank q
given number of times and the money
is forthcoming. However, it is not
wholly charitable sheme. There is q
purpose in the turning of the crank,
and that purpose iS the storing Of cleo
trio energy. The power then produced
is transferred to small dynamo within
the machine, and the electricity pro-
duced is captured and held by stor-
age battery. When properly charged
the battery is removed and used for
lighting, running machinery, and the
dozen and one things TO which modern
genius has been able to apply the cleo
trio current.
The wide uses to which this machine
can be applied will be apparent at first
thought The tramp who asks for a
breakfast can be invited to earn it at
the nearest electricity-producer, and
the street beggar can be told to grind
out his own aims at the next street
corner. The brietless lawyer, the
patientless physician and the poorly

paid clerk can reap rich harvest of
needed nickels, and the limitless en-
ergy now going to waste in gymnasiums
can be held until called upon to minis
ter to the needs of mankind. With
such machines at hand the poor need
never want for bread so long as they
have the strength to turn crank, and
the great army of unemployed need be
idle no more.
The only danger is that in time these
machines may become so numerous
that there will be stored a surplus Of
power beyond all possible needs of
humanity. But that possibility is SO re-
mote that it can safely be forgotten for
the present. All can rejoice without
limit in the glorious opportunities in
volyed in cheap power, work for every
body, with prompt payment on the
spot. Haste the time when the nickel
out of the slot shall abolish poverty and
idleness and make the world prosperous
and happy.-IrOu Times.

How many remedies there are which merely
relieve without uprooting disease. The con-
tr8st with sterling medicines which such pal
latives afford, not only enhances the dignity
of the former, but serves to emuhasize the folly
of employing halfway measures when
thorough ones are available. A marked in
stance of this is the effect, on the one hand, OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of chills
and fever and bilious remittent and on the
other of ordinary remedies in maladleS OF
this type. BY the Bitters malarial complaint

type are completely conquered and lose their
hold upon the system. They are rarely If
ever disloged by the ordinary sources of medI-
cine. although their symptoms may unques-
tionably be mitigated through such means. The
same holds good of indigestion, biliouSness,

and debility. By the Bitters they are cured

Aluminium Bicycles.

According to recent statements some
of the most extensive manufacturers OF
bicy cles in Europe have for some time
past been using aluminium in the con-
struction Of that instrument, and it
would appear with considerable advau-
tage. For this purpose aluminium is
alloyed with a small percentage of tt
tanium, substance which is said to in
crease the strength Of aluminium very
considerably. The following are given
as the results of the tests of the alloy
and metal employed in this case: Ten
eile strength Of aluminium, q, 300 pounds
per square inch; titanium alloy, 1880.
These statements, if correct, show that
the alloy pcss esses very great degree
that Of wrought iron and steel-49, 900
to 81 900 pounds-though not so great
as steel wire, which has a strength of
nearly 100000 pounds per square inch.

Presentation of Pertinent Data I'm Regard
to the Hawaiian Group.
President Harrison IN one of his
messages recognized Pearl Harbor as
a central point for naval operations and
suggested that the commercial import
ance of the islands warranted the lay
ing of cable between Honolulu and
San Francisco. From the following
data it will be seen that the suggestion
is worthy of consideration. The data
are based on returns of 1890. The i'm
ports of that year amounted to 81, 000,
600. while the exports were $4,000, 900.
Nine-tenths of this business was with
the United States. The sugar interest
is the largest, and in 1890 the value Of
the amount in American hands was es-
timated at So, 900, 900; in British hands,
at $6,0O0,00O; in German, $4,000
while the natives had an interest to the
amount of only $266, 900.

Boston Street Amenities.

A young man who has lived in
Canada, and seen what Jack Frost can
do when ho is in an angry mood, was
walking across Boston Common yester-
dav morning when the thermometer
was registering below zero. AS he
passed d pretty girl and glanced at her
face, he noticed that the end Of her
nose was very white, while the remain
der of it was very red. He recognized
the symptoms in an instant. The flesh
looked as if it were on fire, except
where it was SO white, and there it had
the appearance OF wax. lie promptly
accoSted the young woman.
Excuse me, MISS" he said, but
your face is frozen"
"Frozen!' she said. "What do you
mean?"
s'I mean," he replied, "that your
nose is frostbitten, and very badly,
too"
Then he advised her to accompany
him to drug store and have the frozen
member attended TO at once. She sub
mitted without question, for the young
man talked as if he knew what he was
talking about.
After getting her into warm place
he rubbed the tip of the nose briskly
with snow, and the blood came creep
ing back into the chilled arteries. The
patient WINGED under the pain, which
could not have been greater if she had
had needles jabbed into every pore Of
the frozen flesh. She stood it bravely
enough, however, and when the circu-
lation of blood was restored the young
man left her in care of the druggist and
his liniments, and went on his way re-
joicing that he had been able to save
the pretty girl from Disagreement for
life.-BOStOn Herald.

A THIN Diet.

An interesting story is published in
the French papers at Montreal, which,
if true, certainly reveals most extra
ordinary case. A young lady named
Josephine Bedard, belonging to Tin
guich, in the eastern townships, was
taken sick with diphtheria, from which
she was dangerously i'll for some time.
She finally recovered, but since then is
reported not to have eaten a bite of
food, but has lived for 1850 days entire
ly on water. having no desire for food OF
any kind. She is said to be in perfect
health.

Maltese Caves.

The limestone caves of Malta are said
to contain the bones Of several extinct
species of elephant, hippopotamus, stag,
tortoise, and other animals. From the
fact that many of these bones were
gnaWed, it was inferred that some car
nivorous brutes were contemporaries.
John Cook has solved the mystery, by
finding in the Har Dolan cave, on the
eastern side Of Malta remains of the
brown bear and a species of wolf.
