For Highway Improvement.

A plan to establish a division dealing with the geology of highways is in con- temptation by Director walcott of the United States geological survey. It is proposed to establish a laboratory for testing all material used in the con- struction of highways. All roadmaking materials submitted for examination by road commissioners and those interested in the building of highways will be test ed and reported on so far as the present means of survey will permit The prop osition will be submitted at once to tho secretary of the interior, and an esti- mate of slo, 900 for the work probably will be transmitted to congress. Survey officials look upon the contemplated work as of great value in bettering the conditions of the roads of the country.

 It Is noted that nearly all the furnaces in the region depending on Connellsvillc coke and lake orc arc now in operation, with ! an output of Sa. uO1 tons weekly out of q maximum in that region of "i, i,COu tons, but Bcssemer iron is rather weaker at Pittsburg, and prices for finished prod ucts of iron and steel have not improved. Some of the wirc rod malls have closed for lack of orders and a few of the large stcolmakinG concerns have reduced hours of work At the same time there Is q dc- 1 cided improvement in the tone of the
 market and n general confidence that the business will now improve.
 The boot and shoe manufacture has
 been doing relatively as well as usual, though the season is about over. and the orders running into the future are, as hitherto. almost exclusively for goods oi the cheaper grades No change in prices | has been noted, although manufactur- | CTS still complain that present prices Ot 1 boots and shoes are not Temunerativc with ] current prices for leather.
 In the textile industries thero Is rather
 moro hesitation than appeared n week | ago. Print cloths are lower. having de ] clined to 2, 63 cents, and some of the cot | ton mills have discontinued production l because the demand Is unsatisfactory, the | shrinkagc in tho western and southern

A Yearly Newspaper.

What would you think of a yearly newspaper-one that is only printed once through the twelvemonth? There are at least two such in the world, and there may be more. One is called The Eskimo Bulletin. It is issued every year at Prince of Wales Cape, Boring strait, on the arrival at that isolated place of the yearly steamer. This brings news from the outer world. and the paper that has something to print besides its local news. that everybody knows at any rate. The other paper is printed in Paris, and it comes out once a year now, just to preserve its name, The Twentieth Century. Its publishers think that will be a very fine name for a journal when the twentieth century is actually here, and for fear some one will get ahead of them in it they will issue their paper once a year until 1900, and thus be first in the field.-New York Times

SPEED VERSUS SAFETY.
A Sea Captain Tells How and Why II,
 Must Make Quick Time.

Sea Captain Tr.ls How and Why He
 Must Make Quick Time.
 A passenger on one of the European liners made q jocose remark to the cap tain one night as they were chatting familiarity on deck.
 You sea captains, he said. "are the only absolute sove=eigns now left in the world. Wbes the ship leaves port, your will is law. Every one on board recognizes yoIr supreme authority. From your decisions there arc no ap- pealS. Every life is ill your keeping. You are sea kings indeed" "
 No. We are bondmen of the com pany managers. was the bluff old cap tain's reply. We are under obliga- tions to make fast runs, yet never to take any risks. It is no longer possible exercise discretion.
 Why, on my last run across the At lantic," he continued. rapidly warming up, II had bad weather nearly all the way. When the wind was not blowing q gale, there was dense fog, and didn t dare to run at full speed The ship was 3G hours behind time i9 reaching New York. v
 The captain and the passenger were intimate friends and talked without re- straint.
 II went 70 the main oil e." the cap tain continued. and was received cold lv Ey the manager. He told mo that had made very poor run. I tried to explain how bad the weather had been, but he listened impatiently. He re- minded ne that other ships leaving England on the same day had arrived much earlier, although they must have had similar weather. He said that the day for cautious, old fashioned captains had gone by. The reputation of a shiI for speed must be maintained, and cap. tains must bc brisk and wide awake, oI their usefulness would be at an end.
 You may have noticed, the captain added after pause, that We have beer running at full speed all day i'll a heavy fog. Your king has been profiting by the reprimand which he received, ant he hasn't known q comfortable moment until the fog lifted an hour ago. ''So you see that the kings of the se: are the managers bondmen. If they are cautious and avoid risks. they ar, considered sleepy and slow. If they ar, veItureSonc and the ship goes wrong then they are condemned as foolhardy That's the tyranny of the sea, even i We are kings on deck. '-Philadclphi; | TIn,S
