yet largely inadequate to their demand, and
also beginning 10 refine the crude which
they import from the United States and
Russia. The most of the refined oil which
they import from this country comes from
Philadelphia. Their native oil is similar to
the Pennsylvania oil. but a little darker
and of 43 gravity. The present price of oil
there is FROM SIS % TO 50 20 a barrel, or in
their native currency from yam and 30

That is the gen erai opinion of those who

There are only abput four or five varieties
of fish which viii keep in an aquarium

They must be fresh-water fish, in the first

Secondly, there must be no Handspring.

The first symptom of this disease which

CIPHER FOR A TYPEWRITER.
A Code Might Be Easily Devised by
Transporting the Letters.

American Architect.
A curious suggestion in regard to certain
possible uses of the typewriter is made by
NJ. Erve. 1t is well known that a favorlte
form OF cipher writing consists in substitut-
ing certain letters for others, each party to
the correspondenee having the key by which
he can substitute the letters that are in
tended TO be read. N. ErVe points cut that
a secret correspondence of this sort can be
carried on very readily by means of any
typewriter All that is necessary is TO
tTansDose certain types on the type bars,
so that, for example, touching the key
marked i will print c, 3 will print Z and
so on. After one instrument has been so
tTanspoSed the other is to be correspond
ingly arranged, so that key will print
a, the key X viii print u and so on. Then

on receiving q cipher dispatch from the
other. Y, has only TO copy it on his type
writer. TIE machine TetranspOsinG the
letters automatically, Will at once give an
accurate translation, while Ks reply, writ
ten on the same typewriter which trans
lated Us original dispatch, will form an
uniuteiliglble string of letters, which by
copying on Us typewriter will be in its
turn translated. a cipher correspondence
OF this sort has an advantage over the oTdi-
nary kind. in that the two parties use
different, although reciprocal ciphers, and
comparison of dispatches captured from
each VIII give little clew TO the meaning Of
either. Moreover, it would not BE very
d.fficult with some typewrteTs which have
two space keys, to make the space keys
accurate types, so thatthe documents should
be an uninterrupted string of letters. Such
wTtingis very difficultto decipher from the
tmpOssibility of telling where the words
begin or end, yet the corresponding instru-
ment by mere copying would translate II
per'e'uy.
Another use OF the typewriter which NJ.
Erve suggests Is an instrument for short
hand writing. Most stem ographers. in ad-
dition to the characters for sound, employ
large number of abbreviations and signs,
usually of their own devising, which nc one
but themselves can understand Hence il
comes that stenographers cannot read any
one else's writing but their own, and occa-
sionally fail to read that when their use of
Authorizations has been too liberal. NJ.
Erve says very truly that characters In
dicating sound with sufficient accuracy can
readily be found in the typewTiter's alpha
bet, while a code of Authorizations might
easily be agreed upon among stenographers.
With such phonetic system of using the
characters and reasonable numb Der of alb
breyiations it would be easy to write 400
words a minute on a typewriter, which
would be fast enough for the most rapid
speaker while the stenographic writing
would have the great advantage of being
legible TO any other stenOgrapher besides

CANALS OF MARS.
Prime KrapOtkin Explains the Popular
Error.

Nineteenth Century.
As to the so-called "canals," which are so
much spoken Of now and are supp0s ed to be
the work of human beings, Mt. Lockyer
has already shown in a very interesting
paper how the incorrect translation of the
Italian canal by "canals" instead of "chan-
nels" has created misunderstanding as
regards their real nature. The fact is that
the continents of Mars-which are easily
distinguished by their brighter reddish
color from the darker and greenish seas
are intersected by many sinuous lines which
may be 0nsideTed as foIds and inlets, as
well as by straight lines, which at q certain
period OF the Marian year have been seen
as double lines by so clever an observer as
Schiaparelli, and rs single lines at other
periods. That these lines, which run for
immense distances parallel to each other
and 80 to 200 miles apart, cannot be "the
banks OF artificial canals" is almost self
evident.
And, after all that has been written upon
me suOIect, II becomes more and more Ger
tain that Sthiaparelli did not take q simple
optical Illusion for reality 1t also seems
dlthcult TO admit that the double lines rep
resent parallel rivers or inlets which
periodically are freed from snow or become
filled with water-the lines are too straight
and regular to he rivers or f0rds like ours
So the explanation is still to be found and
new hypothesis are now being discussed
According to one of them, the lines, both
single and double, which intersect the con-
tlnents may be crevices of the solid crust:
similar creVlces nave been obtained in our
laboratories, when experiments have been
made with rocks and glass. in order to imi-
tate the crevices and mountain chains of the
earLh's surface. In such case the channels
would be natural creVices, widened by the
immense masses of water which pour into
them during thawing of the sn0wcaps: they
would be sort of canyons, periodically
filled with water. One fact is, however,
certain. The same double channels have
been seen this year by Perrotin, who re-
marks that no unprejudiccd observer could
fail to recognize them; but their positions
and the shape of Schaparellfs Sea of the
Sun" seem TO differ from what they were in
1877
