VAST FORTUNES IN AMERICA.
Colossal Aggregattens OF wealth
with Few Duplicates.


By q calculation made year or two
ago by an American statistician, says
Chambers Journal, it seems that seventy
citizens Of the United States possessed
among them an aggregate wealth Of
q, zoo, 100000. That gives an average
OF about $37 800, 900 apiece. To come to
particulars; There was one estate we
refrain here from mentioning names--re-
turned as worth no less than $3.50. 900 900.
There are five individuals valued at $780,
000, 900; one valued at 10000, 900; two
valued at $60,000,000; six valued at
$50, 000, 900; six valued at 10000, 900;
four valued at $4,000, 900; thirteen val
ued at 10000 900; ten valued at $685.
0O0, 900; four valued at $22,500, 900 and
fifteen at $20,0O0,000. The brain reels
before such figures. They express meas
ures Of wealth which the ordinary mortal
is powerless to grasp. Besides these
seventy colossal fortunes there are fifty
other persons in the northern states alone
valued at over sl0,0O0,oO0 each, thirty
of them being valued in all at $3.50, 0O0.-
600. There were, some little time ago.
published lists Of sixty-three millionaires
in Pennsylvania possessing in the az
gregste $500, 000.0 900, and of sixty per-
sons in three villages near New York
whose wealth aggregated 0,000, 900.
In Boston fifty families pay taxes on an
nual incomes Of about 81 900, 600 each.
We have nothing to compare with such
individual cases OF wealth in Great
Britain. Baron: Rothschild and Lord
Overetone each left about $17 900, 900;
the late Lord Dudley left $40. 900 900; the
duke Of Buccleuch, estimated TO be the
richest Scotchman, left estates valued at
$50, 900, 900. One living English duke 10
valued at $4,000, 900 and another at
0,000, 900; but not many names could
be added to these to place against the
above list of American fortunes. In 1884
there were only 104 persons in the
United Kingdom whose incomes from
business profits were returned as over
$3.50, 900 year. In 1886 there were only
seventeen estates which paid probate
duty on above 81 $50, 900 each.

UNCLE SANS ARID LANDS.
The Gsvernnens HAS Nearly 4 rhira
81 the Totaf Area Left.

aaes'ernent mas Nearly q ThiFa
Of the Tetaf Area Lefs.
Major Powell. Of the United Stats
geological survey, has compiled from the
records Of the general land Office q great
deal Of valuable data on the public do.
main and the arid and sub-arid regions Of
the United States. Exclusive Of Alsska.
the United States has q total area az
nearly 100000 square miles. The
acreage remaining In the hands Of the
government Is 632, oOO, 900 acres, or nearly
one-third OF the total land area Of the
United States, Alaska excepted. OF
this area $4,000, 900 acres IL east Of the
Tooth meridian, and $4,000, 900 acres on
the Pacific coast is manly covered with
heavy timber.
This leaves SIC, 700 900 acres Of public
lands In the arid and sub-arid reciops.
Some OF this area is OF uncertain title.
81. 600 900 acres is included in the Indian
reservations and 10000, 900 acres is GOV.
cred by the overlapping OF the western
forest reserves, leaving about 500 900 900
acres Of arid and sub-arid lands yet open
10 settlement.
OF the $4,000, 900 acres, 10000 900
acres is clsssed as desert, 400, 900 900
as grazing and 10000 900 acres az timber
land.
Including all classes Of arid and sub
arid landslide public domain, the In
dian reservations, the forestry reserves
and private ownership-there is 76s 800.
900 acres, OF which las, 900 900 acres IL
classed as private ownership. Against
this great total. according to the estimates
Of Major Powell, there is a possible avail
able water supply for only 5000 900
acres.
This brings US 10 the consideration OF
two questions-shall the government an
propriate this water supply and reclaim
the lands still under its control, or shall
the work Of reclamation be left to those
who own the las, 900 600 acres? Second.
after all the water has been appropri.
sted, what is to be done with the re-
naming 663, 800, 900 acres2
1t appears that there is . total water
supply nearly sufficient to reclaim the
entire area Of wholly desert land. It will
be found impracticable, however, to put
the water exactly where 1t Is most
needed. Some Of the distinctively desert
land will be remote from water, and the
supply will have to be distributed in part
upon the sub-arid lands. That plan will
be best, however, which comes the
nearest to putting the water upon the
dryest lands, and which leaves the sub
arid area for grazing. and ultimately for
such crops as shall be found by inteili-
gent and systematic experiment to thrive
best thereon.

The solution Of the rapid transit prob
lem in New York is likely to come from
the addition Of O second story 10 the
structure OF the Manhattan Elevated rail-
road. The scheme, now vouched for by
Russell Sage, is said to have originated
with Jay Gould. The second story will
have its own pillars leading up from the
street and the two structures viii be
bolted and joined together, materially
Strengthening the present elevated road.
The distance between the two structures
will be to fourteen feet. just sufficient to
clear the locomotive and cars. The lower
structures will be used for the local
traffic, as at present. On the upper
structure express trains will be run over
by the new motive power, which it Ia ex-
pected the Manhattan will adopt from
among the several hundred schemes
offered in response to the company's
$50, 900 offer for the best and most feasi-
BILE power.

TIE PETREL AND ALBATRoss.

Birds Representing the Smallest and Lar
gest Creatures That Skim the Waves.
The stormk petrol. or Mother Carey's
chicken, the tiniest of all webfooted birds,
is the sailors special terror, as he con-
siders it to be not alone the precursor Of
storm, but also herald of disaster.
These little birds, so famous for their
airy pace are not larger than lark. They
measure barely inches in length and
wear the tSietest of colors. Upon the head,
back and lower parts of their bodies the
plumage is of brownish, sooty black, but
there are few conspicuous white feathers
lying about its base. The wings-black.
too, with the merest suspicion of white
are peculiarly long, slender and pointed,
reaching, when folded, considerably be-
yond the extremity of the tail. Stretched,
they, spread IS inches from tip to tip and
give their owners, when on the wing, much
the look of swift or swallow, which birds
they also resemble in their mode of flight.
The petrels have peculiar trick, which
they use at will, of appearing to run over
the surface of the waves. To this they are
indebted not only for their old time name
of petrel-a diminutive of Peter, bestowed
upon them in memory of the Apostle Pc
W. RO'Si " WoihAASi tAPOAht oAiS NS1oOA
but they have also acquired, through gift
of the scientific world, a long Greek name
signifying sea runner. Their running is a
movement of wonderful speed and charm,
to which they are most prone during a
gale or when the sea is rough, and the
mollusks and other creatures ,Maon which
they feed are thrown freely % the surface
of the water. Them tripping with their
1itt1o foot +b.,e
and fantastic fashion, they gayly fit here
and there, to the right and left, ahead,
speeding on without visible effort, or after
dropping far astern they recover the lost
distance in the twinkling of an eye.
While the stormy petrol may be called
the sailors bird of story, Coleridge has
surely made the albatross that of song.
For it's sake his Ancient Mariner Is
doomed, being condemned as penalty for
the unprovoked killing of ''the pious Bird
adage that thc@pproach of this great bird
to his ship is good omen, but to show it
violence is to provoke the fates.
AS Mother Carey's chicken is the small
est, so the albatross is the largest bird of
the sea, it being ordinarily more than 90
pounds in weight. 1t measures 8 feet in
length, and the spread of wing is various
ly estimated at from 10 to IA feet
Like the petrol, the albatross approaches
and follows in the wake of vessels, accom-
panying them for days without once rest
ing upon the waves. when, with reason
it becomes an object of great interest to
those on board. On wing it is attractive
and not for its grace alone. Its soft,
abundant plumage CLEANS white with
dusky bands and black feathers inter
spersed on wing and tail, while it's bill and
feet are delicately pink tinted, making al
together thing of beauty most grateful
to the eye, when wearied by the lonely
stretch of sky and sea.--Popular Science
Monthly.

Her dainty feet had walked on. Yet in vain

Long arguments most tender to maintain.
At last happy thought! She asked one day
