A Tax Upon Rentals.

The Russian government, which aban-
doned the idea of an income tax some
time ago, has now determined to impose a
tax upon the rental of occupied houses,
TO be paid by the tenants, says the New
York Post This impost will be levied
for the present only in 220 of the chief
towns in the empire, which will be di-
vided into four classes, according to the
estimated value of their house property
The first class comprises the two capitals
Moscow and st. Petersburg. The second
includes ten towns, namely: Warsaw,
Wilma, Kazan, Kiev, Kishinev, Odessa,
Riga, Rostoy-on- the-Don, Saratov, and
KharkoV:, There siXty-seven towns in
the third class, and 141 in the fourth
All of them are situated in
European Russia and Poland, but
the tax will be extended hereaf-
ter to other parts of the empire. The ag-
gregate population of these go towns is
about $780, 600, but the rating is arranged
50 as to spare the poorer classes. Thus,
the lowest annual rental subject to the
tax is 300 rubles (sl50) in the capitals.
and in the other three classes 225, $50,
and 100 rubles respectively. Arrange
ments have been made for a fifth class, in
which the lowest taXab BILE rental will be
60 rubles, but as yet no towns have been
selected for it. Besides the privileged
official and ecclesiastical classes, schools,
hospitals, and places of business (Which
last are already subject to
similar impost), the following
houses are specially exempted:
Workmen's barracks at manufactures,
etc, and the lodging places Of the poor,
small inns. night houses, etc. Moreover
any occupier changing his abode for one
at lower rental will be taxed as for the
latter, if the change be made during the
first quarter Of the the year. The tax is
calculated on rising scale, beginning at
about ~ per cent. on the lowest taxable
rental and reaching a maximum of 10
per cent. on rentals above 5000 rubles
$1,000 800, 5000, 2, 400, and / 200 rubles
respectively in the five classes, 1t has
been estimated unoficially that this will
produce a revenue of about $500 900
rubles 9475 900, two millions, or nearly
half, Of which will be paid by the two
canitafs

WHY OIL STILLS THE WAVES.
The Wind Passes Along the Oily Sur.
face With Reduced Power.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
A great deal has been written about the
influence of oil on waves at sea, and of the
practically useful action of oil in many
cases there is abundant testimony. but
little has been heard of the reason for the
results obtained. w. J. Millar has found,
from experiments made in shallow, bro
ken water on the coast, where the wind
aud tide conhicted, that little or no ad-
vantages can be traced from the use of
oil under such conditions; that is to say,
the wave motion being disturbed and un-
der forces not wholly those of wind ac-
ton, the oily film becomes broken up. In
deep water, however, where the waves
may be considered as wholly formed
by the wind, their forms are more
regular, and it is in such circum-
show to the best effect. These effects
suggest the real action of the oil. Accord
ing to some theories the oil acts as it does
when applied to bearings in machinery,
and thus the wind glides more easily over
the oiled surface than it does over the
water surface. 1t is difficult to see, how
ever that the FRACTIONAL resistance be-
tween air and oil should be less than be-
tween air and water, as the oil is a less
mobile fluid than the water. Again,
when we consider the surface tension of
fluids, and can often observe their re-
straining action on ascending air bubbles
or small floating objects in glasses of
water, we might suppose that by the ad-
dition Of the film of oil sufficient resis-
lance was offered to the uprise of the
upper part OF the wave, and thus the ten
dency 10 break would be restrained. Mr.
Millar comes TO the conclusion that the
action of the film of oil is one of separa-
ton. His view is that when we consider
the tendency of air to become satuated
with watery vapor due to evaporation
and of water to retain air
by absorption, we may read
lily conceive that the impact of
air on watery surface will tend to cause
a commingling at the surface of air and
water. which will thus offer sufficient re-
sistance to the motion of the wind to
throw the water and mixture into an I'M
ulabory movement, and, therefore, when
this forward movement has exceeded the
speed due to the periodic motion in the
wave itself, the upper part in falling
forward from the effects of the push of
air from behind shows foaming rush of
broken water; that is, the air incorpor
ated with the water and the water itself.
Arguing on this basis Mr. Millar sees no
difficulty in accepting the theory that the
film of Oil spread over the surface of the
water efectually prevents the formation
Of broken water; as the air and water are
kept separate the tendency to mutual
absorption at the surface is checked aud
the wind passes along the oily surface
with reduced power of wave making

ENeLAND's DEFENsEs.
Balfour Urges Preparations to Resist
France and Russia.

france ana Russia.
London, Jan. 22.-Arthur ]. Balfour
leader Of the unionists in the House Of
Commons, spoke at length this evening
before, a meeting in Manchester on the
subject of the imperial defense. This he
said, was at present of paramount
interest Any nation or combina-
ton of nations which was able
to wrest from Great Britain
her supremacy of the seas could bring
her to her knee without landing
a single soldier on English soil. He did
not believe any government was justified
IN accepting long era of peace. The
French and Russian governments were
pushing forward with all speed the work
in their dock yards. Certain movements
made of late years in Asia were only TOO
obviously directed against England.
While there were indications
that France and Russia were
earnestly bent upon peace, their main ar
rangements evidently were prompted by
the assumption of conflict with England,
sooner or later, singly or combined He
believed that the English people were
amlcably disposed toward France, but
must admit, with the deepest regret, the
conviction that the French were hostile
to England
Finally, MIR. Balfour appealed TO the
electors to influence their Representatives
in parliament by all possible means to
assist in quickly and efficiently strength
ening the country's defenses. He could
pledge the opposition, he said, to cooper
ate cordially with the government in its
every effort to increase England's naval
and military power.
