COST OF THE CRIMEAN WAR.
John Bull Paid an Enormous Price TO Keep
Russia Out OF Turkey.

John Bull Paid an Enormous Price TO Keep
Russia Out of Turkey.
On July 10, 1856, the Crimea was final
ly evacuated by the British forces after
the war of over two years, says Spare
Moments. All the remaining stores
and the establishments having been
embarked, q company of the Fiftieth
British regiment was posted outside
the town of Balaclava to receive the
Russian troops, and on their approach
marched in with the Russian guard,
which was composed of about fifty
mounted Cossacks and similar num-
Der of Cossack infantry. The usual
salute took place, the Russians placed
sentinels where they wished, and the
English troops marched on board 81.
M. S. Algiers, Gen. Sir William John
Codrington, chief in command of the
forces in the Crimea, and who died in
1854, embarked with his personal staff
at the same time. During this war the
British lost $500 killed in action or
died from their wounds; 4,244 of
cholera, and nearly 10000 who sue
cumbcd to other diseases, making a
total of 23,744, of whom 27O were Off
GERS, and besides these 2,s73 were dis
abled. The loss of French allies was
estimated at 60, 500 men, while the loss
of the Russians on the opposite side
was reckoned as high as 100000 men.
The war added to the British national
debt over $200,O0O,0OO. Notwithstand-
ing the enormous amount expended
Britain asked from Russia no pecunia-
ry compensation, nor gained one inch
of land; but the defeat of the Russians
kept them out of Constantinople and
made the way to India and the east
clear. The memoirs of Earl Russell
show that it would have secured for
the Turkish empire much internal ben
eft if the French had been as disinter-
ested as the British, and not required
in that case some territory for them
selves.

MAN-eATeRs OF THE PACIFIC.
Sharks That Are the Dread of the Cali
forniA Fisherman.

ctSnermon.
The true man-eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coast is known only as a
man-eater. The shovel-nosed sharks
are sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even a yellow dog. The thirty-four
foot shark, captured by some fisher
men, of the true man-eater variety
tcarcharodon carcharias), seemed brave
enough and savage enough to attack
anything within it's reach. This mon
sters mouth was wide, the teeth long
and sharp, with an inward incline.
The stomach would hold a full-grown
man easily and good deal besides.
The fish became entangled in net off
Point Lama. Two boats attacked the
vicious creature and finally succeeded
in punching an iron into its vitals. The
side of one boat was stove in by blow
forcible enough to knock one fisherman
overheard.
These sharks, says the New York
Tribune, have been known to attack a
small boat, upset it and eat the oars
man. A man-eater over forty-two feet
long has been reported below San
Diego. The natives are said to live in
fear of this awful fish, which already has
the record of having eaten six men. 1t
has been shot frequently. The water
about it has been discolored with blood.
Yet the shark still lives. The tiger
shark is as ferocious as the man-eater.
Another large shark hereabouts is the
basking shark. 1t is taken measuring
fifteen to forty feet in length The
skin Of one thirtytwo feet long is at
Stanford University museum. It was
captured last March. This skin alone
weighs over fifteen hundred pounds,
while the sharks liver produced one
hundred and eighty gallons of oil.
These sharks, however, are sluggish,
lazy and do not bite people. Their
gill-rakers are on the whale model.
When entangled in a net they fire.
quently suffocate, as the net restricts
the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
five-foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long,
weighing three hundred to five
hundred pounds. Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines. When hooked
the fish is allowed to swim about the
bay towing two-inch plank. When
he is exhausted the line is hauled in
and the fish killed with an AK.

HOW THE DUST FLIES.
Patient Observation on the Limit of Sigh
Under Varying Conditions.

Patient Observation on the Limit of Sight
Under Varying Conditions.
The other day Mr.. AitlIen laid be-
fore the Royal Society of Edinburgh
the results of $1,000 observations of the
density of dust particles made in differ
ent parts of the world during the last
few years. This is monument OF pa
tient observation, unfortunately made
in his search for health. 1t must be
kept in mind that the greater number
of dust particles found in the air the
greater is the condensation of the
vapor and the thicker is the atmos-
phere. The limit of visibility through
the haze is thus determined.
Mountains are fixed upon which
are at known distances from the
observer, say 20, so and 70 miles. II
the nearest moantain is just visible the
limit is 20, if half visible the limit is 40,
if the third part only of the farthest
mountain is visible the limit of visi-
bility is 210, and so on.
The observations were made at Elm
gairloch and Afford, in Scotland, and
at Rigi Kuhn, in Switzerland. fthese
were absolutely accurate, both as to
the counting of the dust particles and
the determination of the limit of visi-
bility through the haze, then the pro-
duct of the number of particles in a
cubic inch, multiplied by the number
representing the limit, should be a con-
slant The nearer the perfect ac-
curacy, the nearer is the con-
slant dust determined to the av-
erage of the constant. For example,
at Kingairloch, when the air was very
dry humidity Dom degrees to 10 de-
grees), the number of dust particles per
cubic inch was 23,68O, when the limit
of visibility was 100; therefore the con-
slant (the product of these numbers) is
2,S6s, 200.
Now, the average for several hun
dreds of observations, when the limit
of visibility varied from 10 to $50, was
2,95O,O4s, which shows the closeness of
the observations. Again, at Afford,
with the same humidity, the mean Of
hundreds of observations brought out
1887 as the constant; and at Rigi
Kuhn the constant was 1,9s7,376, re-
markably close figure indeed. This re-
markable result is sufficient test of the
accuracy of Mr.. Athens observations
in counting particles and in determin-
ing Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

Care of Fine China.

There is an English custom that has
been imported into this country with
pleasing results, and perhaps has been
handed down from mother to daughter
among an English descended family.
That is the habit of washing the fins
china at the mistress hands. A little
cedar tub is brought into the dining
room, after the meal, or, in some cases,
a large bowl is set aside for this pur-
pose alone. The lady of the house dips
the cups and saucers into the hot water
with her own dainty fingers. Her lit
tie daughter has been taught to care
fully dry them. Those who know the
dubious delight of owning fine table
ware, and sending it into the kitchen
to be Clipped and married, will appre-
ciate this alternative. Philadelphia

Tho Women to Blame.

Prof. Peal, the ethnologist, recently
described to the Asiatic society the
condition Of the head-hunting Nagas
on the borders of Assam. The women
are to blame for the continuance of
the practice; they taunt the young men
who are not tattooed, and the latter go
out and cut off heads to exhibit to
them, fully half Of which are those of
women and children. The area occu-
pied by the tribe is not more than
twenty miles square, but in it during
the past forty years more than twelve
thousand murders have been commit
ted for the sake of these CHASTITY tro-
miles

ROTATION IN OFFICE
GOvEROR ELECT CULBERSON
. WILL ADOPT THAT THEORY
In Selecting His Cabinet. II ANY Of III,
Present Force Is Rstsint d II will
Be Toe Keep ion Not The
Rule

Much speculation has been at.
tendant of late upon who would com,
prise Governor Elect Urloersou's cabs
met. The heads of the various an.
polntive departments have been al
restless as though they were standing
on a hot grid iron. They can res
IN peace from now on however as the
reliable information is furnished them
this morning thas they will all in all
probability step down aud out and
give place to new faces. The flood of
applications for Offices has been some
thing awful and if Governor Culbt r
son were to satisfy all claims, the cap
itol building could not possibly hold
the applicants.
Yesterday in an interview with a
well khown gentleman of this CITY,
who knows whereof he speaks, as to
the probable action of Governor Gull
berson a, to his appointments, it was
ascertained that he believes in rota-
ton in Office aud will appoint bis

is understood that he will retain some
few OF the present Incumbent, but
their retention will be the exception
and not the rule. He will give fore-
yeast of his appointments at an early
date, in order that all applicants, OF
(which there are quite large number,
may know exactly the con.
dition OF affairs. Another reason
\ he has for letting these probable ap-
poiutnents be known is that he de
sires to give the present incumbents
ample opportunity TO secure other pc
sttions in the ordinary paths of busi-
ness upon vacating their pre- ent POI
sitions. He has number of applica
tions from all sections of the state, for
positions, but OF course while there
are many called comparatively few
can be chosen. In selecting these APP
plicants Governor Culberson will seek
as far as possible to have every sec
ton of the state favored. He has
many personal friends among
the applicants and the se>
lection of the appointees will nCcs
essarily work a hardship on some
of the governors warnest friends He
appreciates his situation fully and
trusts that in looking at his appoiut
ments bis friends and the public in gen.
e al will view it as the survival OF The
5ittest.
