Egyptian Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre-
sents the most advanced attachments Of
the Egyptians in arithmetic and geom-
etry. It is remarkable that they should
have reached SO great proficiency in
mathematics at SO remote a period Of
antiquity. But strange indeed is the
fact that during the next 1000 years
they should have made no progress
whatsoever in it.
All the knowledge Of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars Wis.,
tied them, six centuries B. c., was
doubtless known to them I, 1000 years
earlier, when they built those stupen-
dous and gigantic structures, the pyra-
mida. An explanation for this stagna-
ton Of learning has been sought in the
fact that their early discoveries In math-
ematics and medicine had the misfor-
tune;of being entered upon their sacred
books, and that in after ages it was
considered heretioa1 to augment or mod
ify anything therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to progress.

The greatest wedding Of the next year
or two will be that between New York
and Brooklyn. Staten Island and outly-
ing towns will be taken in as members
of the family. New York will then be
the second largest city Oh earth, only
London being greater. BY the time the
consolidation is effected the united pop
ulation of this wonderful city will be
not less than 5000, 600. London has
been 2, 900 years heaping together her
population of 4, 100000. New York will
have accomplished the same in 800
years. The first settlements were made
on Manhattan Island in 1914. By 1914
New York will have 4, 600, 900 inhabit-
ants. .e.as H$S.u 5.

WORDS AND MEANINGS CHANGE

"Af1licted Relief Is Hardly Good English
Nowadays.
1t is interesting to notice the change
In the meaning and use of words that
time brings. Just fifty years ago the
National Portrait Gallery OF Distin-
guished Americans was published in
this city, says the Boston Globe.
4 In the account of Mrs. Washington
we read that ''when ladies called at the
presidents mansion the habit was for
the secretaries and gentlemen of the
presidents household to hand them to
and from their carriages, but when the
honored relicts of Greene and Mont
gomery came to the presidoliad, the
president himself performed the COM
pliment himself"
We do not call a widow 1.-The afflicted
relict" nowadays; at least, when we
mean to be respectful. But Mrs. Wash
ington is spoken Of in these terms two
several tines in the portrait gallery.
Later on we find that Com. Macdon-
ough married member .'of high
ly respectable family" nowadays we
use that expression only when speak
ng Of a criminals family.
OF DR.. Samuel Latham Mitchell's
father this gallery remarks that he
lived to see most of his children ''repu-
tably settled in life;'' and it seems to
think it speaks well of him. In this
agetwe might think that we spoke kind
lyof 1nan, though not well of him, if
we said that. ." ~
All the children of Col. Thomas Mar
shall, Of Virginia, females as we'll as
males, possessed superior intellectual
endowments." Henry Clay's father, we
learn, was a respectable clergyman
an avis less rara in those days, we
should have thought, than now; and
even now we would hardly say that a
clergyman was respectable.

Horsepower of the Worlds Engines.

Horsepower of the Worlds Engines.
A steam horsepower" is equivalent
to the actual strength of three horses Of
the average weight and size, and each
horse represents the strength Of seven
men of the average weight of 154
pounds. The total horsepower of the en-
gines of the world (not including loco
motives, of which there are l05, 100, with
total horsepower Of 5000, 0O0) is 49,
900, 900, which represents all the force
that could be !exerted by 1000, 900, 900
men, or more than twice the total work:
ing population of the entire globe. Four
fifths Of the power machines now in ac-
tive service have been made during the
past IS years. This country has the
highest amount of horsepower, $780,
600; England comes second, with {, 000,-
600; Germany third, 4,5O0, 600, only
two other countries, France and Aus
tria- Hungary, having engines represent
ing over 1000, 900 horsepower, that Of
France being reckoned at 5000, 600 and
Austria-Hungary at 100000. The
above figures are for 1891 and are the
very latest Oh that subject. -St. Louis

fore the Lexow committee have been
those that came lately. The sworn testi-
mony last summer showed the police of
New York city to be the blackmailers
of counterfeiters, bunko men and of the
keepers of illegal saloons and disorder
" houses. The evidence this fall reveals
them as those that regularly took money
from quack doctors who performed
criminal surgical operations.
Ona Of these quacks declared himself
"sick of the whole thing and took oath
before the committee that he had within
six weeks paid g, S25 to the police and
police minions The plan was for po-
liceman to arrest the man. A witness
would be ready to swear against him.
On the way to the station house the po-
liceman would tell the prisoner that he
must take certain lawyer to defend
him. If he demurred, they insisted and
brought means to bear on him such that
he was forced to accept their man. He
would be brought before the police JUS
tice, who made virtuous show of let
ting him out ON high bail. Once this
bail was fixed at 81, 500. Before the
prisoner could get it the lawyer the po-
lice recommended came to the prisoner
and told him if he would pay 10 per
cent of the sum to the lawyer the case
would never be heard of again. 1t was
customary to have some straw man go
the bail. Then the prisoner would be
set free.
The uuack asserts that the money he
paid was divided among the gang-the
lawyer, police justice and the police
Two police justices were accused OF
sharing in this blood money.
One woman swore she had paid the
police $50, 900 blackmail in seven years.

This only emphasizes the exclusive hui
Smanuess Of smoking. The monkey is

full enjoyment of all their faculties
and the right to pursue happiness
through cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack of opportunity to smoke is with
out doubt the most affective evil under
which a majority of men suffer. A
large proportion of men are employed
in offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working. To
Il do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge of the pleasure.
It is intemperance and dissipation. The
most expert wine tasters never drink to
excess, but find that in moderation only
does the palate retain its power to de-
tect the delicate flavor. So with smok-
ing. At night, after few pipes or ci-
CARS have dulled the edge of appetite, it
is allowable to smoke half dozen with
some violence to stimulate jaded pal
ate, but at other times pleasure goes
with moderation. To smoke after meal
is the imperative demand of the whole
system. Not to be able to do this is to
incur endless disorders of the nervous
system, the stomach and the entire dl-
gestive apparatus and sometimes to in
vite progressive decay Of the mental
faculties. There is no better preparation
for days work for the smoker than
pipe or cigar after breakfast.-New

UNCLE SANS NEW LIBRARY.

It Has Some Of tho Largest Bookcases n
the World.
No such library as this new one of
Uncle Sans was ever planned before.
You must imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each IS feet high, liz
feet long and As feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
In nine tiers. Each bookcase will hold
100000 volumes. The metal frame
work is made gridiron fashion to per
init the free passage Of the atmos-
phere, for books need fresh air as much
as human beings, else they rot The
floors are sheets of iron, and fire could
do no damage worth mentioning, for
books will not burn. They will only
smolder under favorable circumstances.
The library, says the Washing
ton Star, has 1900 windows. Those
which admit light to the great book
stacks above described are single
sheets Of fine plate glass. Looking
from the interior courtyards, the walls
inclosing the book stacks appear to be
almost wholly of glass. Thus the title
on the back of every volume may be
easily read. The shelves already pro-
vided will accommodate l,5OO, 900 books
twice as many as are now in the IL
brary.
The building has been SO constructed
% to afford space for other stacks,
which may be put up at any time, and
will hold 100000 volumes more A
million Of books in addition may be nc.

there is room for more besides. The

and it was and is still looked upon in

imagination. believe no one had
deeper doubt Of il than myself. But. !
doubt nc longer, for was on Il train the
other day right in our state Of New
York which was stopped by grlsshop-
pers as cffectually u, the engineer with
his airbrakcs could have stopped it.
The railroad was the Chautauqua
Lake railroad and the train was on it's
way between Mayville and Jamestown.
All that region has had Il most de-
structive visitation Of a.rasslloppers this
year, crops, foliage and even hay, cut
and housed, having been absolutely
eaten up clean by the ravenous insects.
This day the passengers on the train
noticed that frequently it would grad
ually slow up and come almost to a
standstill, but after awhile regain
somewhat of its regular speed. At
last, though, after slowing up and the
engine working in a way that showed
that the engineer was making his
greatest effort to overcome whatever
the obstacle was to the progress of the
train, it came to Il dead standstill. A
trainman was hurIying through the

the matter l,.=.- $.. MI
"Grasshoppers,' said he. We're
stalled again by grasshoppers.' ~
Nobody believed him, of course, but
got out of the car and it wasn't long
before found that he was in earnest.
Grasshoppers had effectually stopped
the train. The rails behind us as far
as anyone could see were two glisten-
ing lines Of grease. AS far as anyone
could see ahead the railroad tracks
were hidden by untold numbers of
grasshoppcrs. Men had to be sent
ahead to sweep or shovel or scrape the
insects off the rails. BY dint Of much
sand and steam the train was at last
got under way, but for nearly two

train could goits way without dangero Of
further stalling. / learned that the
trains on that road had been unable to
make anything like schedule time for
several days and that no trip had been
made on any train in that time on
