Carlisle and the Geenbacks.
(The Bond Buyer.

1t is notorious that Mr. Carlisle of Ken
lucky has never been able to manage,
without assistance, his own private finan-
COS. But Secretary Carlisle of the United
States Treasury has shown on several
occasions his confidence in his ability to
manage, without the advice of the ex,
perienced bankers of the country, the
finances of the nation. But while disre-
garding their advice he has not disdained
to receive their assistance on two occas-
ions to enable him to maintain the gold
reserve at a cost thus far in his two and
a half years career of about 5000, 600, 600.
Confident Secretary Carlisle has recent
ly been telling the bankers of Boston
Just why he has had to make this enor-
nous increase in the public debt. 1t was
owing entirely to the existence of the
legal tenders which he was compelled to
redeem in gold only to reissue again as
paper upon which gold could again be
demanded and so ad libitum. The solid
men of Boston doubtless smiled, but
through politeness concealed their grins
in their sleeves.
plain to his audience, what they already
knew, that during previous administra-
tions when the revenue of the govern
ment furnished surplus over and above
its expenditures, there arose no demand
for the redemption of the greenbacks
Nobody then wanted the demand notes of
the government redeemed at all, because
the government was earning money and
maintaining its credit by keeping con-
venient surplus on hand. But under
a new tariff which produces a deficiency
the credit of the government suffers; the
holders of the greenbacks want gold for
them; and they will not be as good as
gold until the revenues of the nation ex-
ceed it's expenditures
Boston bankers and New England
manufacturers know better than those of
any other section of the country that the
present tariff is at the bottom of the ills
they suffer from in undue proportion to
the bankers and manufacturers of other
localities. Industries in New England
have suffered more than those of any
other section, because the great industries
are located there Mills have been shut
by the Wilson tariff; and since it went
into operation wages have been cut down
nearly 30 per cent or stopped entirely.
The artisans of the country have been
compelled to accept the lower rate of
wages or see the mills closed while for
eign cheaply made goods fill American

TALL STRUCTURES.
The Highest Towers, Chimneys; Spires
Pyramids and Buildings.
(Ernnn Machinery. J

(From Machinery.)
The tallest chimney was built at Fort
Dundas, Glasgow, Scotland, 1857 to 1853,
for f. Townsend. 1t is the highest
chimney in the world (454 feet) and one
of the loftiest masonry structures in ex-
istence. 1t is, Independent OF its size,
one of the best specimens of substantial,
well-made brick work in existence. In
Europe there are only two church steeples
that exceed this structure in height
namely, that of the Cologne Cathedral
thedral (46S feet). The Great Pyramid
of Gizeh was originally 480 feet, although
not so high at present. The United
States outtops them all with it's Washing
ton monument, $50 feet high, and the
tower of the Philadelphia Public Build
ing which is 537 feet high.
The Eiffel Tower at Paris surpasses all
other terrestrial metal structure with it's
altitude of nearly 1000 feet. The "Great
Tower" for London, in course of con-
struction from designs of Mr. Henry
Davey, c. E., will outtop all metal struc
lures, being built of steel, and it's ex
treme height will be 1926 feet when fin
ished.

of this structure is 452. feet and 1874
feet in internal diameters. 1t is situated
on the right bank Of Nude, at an eleva-
tion of 219 feet above that of the foundry
works, so that it's total height above the
sea is no less than III. rs feet. The works
are situated on the left bank of th3 river.

The highest artificial structure in
America is the water works tower at Eden
Park, Cincinnati, o. The floor of the
tower, reached by elevators, is 522 feet
above the Ohio River. The base is 404
feet above the STRAIN. If the height of the
elevator shaft be added to the observation
floor and grand total height is $50 feet.
The highest office building in the
world is that of the Manhattan Life In

Its heigth above the sidewalk is 347 feet,
and the foundation goes down 53 feet,
the same. being 20 feet below tidal
water level making total of 400 feet.
The foundations consist of fifteen
masonry piers, and are carried by the
same number of steel caissons. The lat

A MILLION BICYCLES.
Growth, Influence and Effect of the Bicy-
Gle Habit.
(From Harper's Weekly }

(From Harper's Weekly,)
The historian who will write the true
history of the closing years of the nine
teenth century will be compelled to say
great deal about the growth, influence
and effects of the bicycle habit during
that period.
The points which he will feel obliged
TO cover are as numerous as they are in
teresting. The bicycle, as the legitimate
successor of the velocipede of quarter OF
a century ago, was taken up as an ap-
pliance for exercise and pleasure. These
it has furnished to ali extent not ant1ol-
pated by it's most enthusiastic devOtes.
In addition, it has passed beyond any
limits of mere pleasure or exercise. 1t
has forced itself on the attention OF the
great war powers of the EARTH 1t re-
mains to be seen what warllke purposes
it may serve; but it is safe to say that In
the next European war the first man of
the invading force in the enemy's coun-
try will be mounted on wheel. 1t has
conquered society. Aristocracy in Eng
land and France, as well as in this coun-
try, has recognized its worth. In adopt
ing it the idle and luxurious classes have
rendered service by enormously in
creasing it's popularity. The hundreds
of thousands who might have hesitated
between desire and dread in the uncer-
tainty as to whether it was the proper
thing have had their doubts cleare d
away. A custom which has the sanction
of the Faubou1g ST. Germain, of the
British. peerage, of the Michaux Club of
Newport and of the local four hundred in
each one of our great cities is as firmly
established as the Constitution with its
subsequent amendments.
In this country it is creating, as we
have said, social and economical con-
ditions worthy of the attention OF the
historian. 1t may not be true, as Mrs
Anthony says, that woman is riding
to suffrage on the bicycle, but it is un-
doubtedly true that she is riding to great
er freedom, to a nearer equality with
man, to the habit of taking care of her
self and to new views on the subject OF
clothes philosophy. The woman on the
wheel is altogether novelty, and is es--
sentially product of the last decade OF
| the century.
In this country alone the sales of bicy-
cles for this year are estimated at 500, 900.
The total number of bicycles in use is es-
timated at 1000, 600. These figures are
mere guesses, but there is nothing in
credible or improbable about them. 1t
is certain that we are only at the begin
ming Of what is called the bicycle craze,
and he indications are that the craze is
not getting ready to disappear, even If
| it is not getting ready, as is more likely,
to supersede all other methods of loco

China's Great Bell,
(From the Baltimore Sum-

(ffOm G00 bdlE1nOr6 Su1.
When the announcement of the mission
of the United States bell of liberty to the
Atlanta exposition appeared in the press
in April last, there rung out, far away in
the Celestial empire. the advent of peace
and Liberation from her foreign foes,
China's bell of liberty at Pekin, the
capital
For the last 400 years-that, is ever since
the discovery of the new world-thiS bell,
the largest and IN ost finished on the
globe, raised its tongue of peace and
prayer in China. The famous bells at
Moscow and Manda1ay are both hung,
the former being fractured and otherwise
defective, but the Pekin bell is ringing
on. suspended by its wooden beam and
sheltered beneath the roof of an open fan,
still as bright and sound as when it left
it's matrix.
China's bell of liberty is in many re-
spects the finest work of art III China,
a product of native skill which could
probably not be duplicated by the highest
ability or resources Of Western foundries.
1t weighs 1870, 900 lbs, stands "A feet high,
with circumference of "a feet and nearly
foot in thickness. Without a flaw or de-
feet, it is completely covered, in relief,
both inside and out, with myriads of
Chinese characters, each one an inch in
| size. They form prayerful extracts from
Buddhistic classics.
| 1t is one of the yagaries of Buddhism
that its prayers of the faithful may be
Indefinitely and acceptably repeated by
mechanical helps MS, for instance, by
revolving wheels So here, when the
lips of this mighty and eloquent bell gre
moved by fitting tongue, they breathe
forth in deep, sweet, prolonged and Won
derful vibratory voice these prayers to
Buddha, and call, as we'll, all devotees to
worship.
One of the chroniclers of the 18th CEN
tury states that it was period OF SUI
preme suspense in Pekin among all lovers
Of art and religion, from Emperor down
| to humble craftsman, as the day ap-
preached for pouring the molten metal
into that myriad lettered matrix, and for
producing Ta-Chung, the noblest bell IN
all the world, and no doubt the other day
an almost equal interest was awakened
when it rung out the advent OF peace
with Japan and the restored liberty to
the empire.
| The artists who successfully accom-
plished the molding and casting of this
great bell were not only congratulated by
| Buddgh1stic ecclesiastics and their fol-
| lowers, but they were ennobled by the
Emperor, while their work, ITSELF amid
changing creeds and dynasties, is imper-
| ishable, being as clear cut and perfect
today as when it first came forth from
the clumbling mold of sand.
