Land oil Low Salaries.

Japan is land of low salaries,
writes Frank c. Carpenter in the New
York Press. The Off cials do not get
one-tenth as much as ours. The
members of the House of Peers and of
the House of Represen tative receive
800 japanese yen, and their travelling
expenses. The yen is now worth
about fifty cents, so they receive in
reality only 300 year. Our Con-
gressmcn, you know, receive $4,000.
The Presidents of both houses re-
ceive 1000 yen. The Emperor APP
points the officers Of the House OF
Peers, selecting those of the House OF
Representatives. from three candidates
who are elected 10y the House.
All of the voting in the japanese
Parliament is done in secret ballot.
There is a great deal Of speechmaking,

cited when they discuss the measures
relating to the Government The
Emperor has the right TO dissolve Par
Lament, and he has dismissed the last
two houses because they seemed in-
clined to cut down the expenses be-
yond the possibilities OF running tho
Government. The dissolution caused
a great deal of excitement over the
country, and the new election was
much feared by tho administration.
The country seemed to be torn up by
the different factions, but this has
been all done away with by the war
with China, and tho Emperor will get
nil the money he wants from now on.
The Emperor has great power over
Parliament, and the constitution IS 50
adroitly worded that he can act indie
pendently of it. The laws provide
that Congress shall vote all the mon
ey, but that the last BUDGET shall bo
in force in case q Congress is dissolved
without passing new appropriation
bills. The Emperor can veto all laws
and ne can proclaim a law when Par
lament is not sitting. He still holds
the chief command OF the army and
navy, the right to make war or peace,
and 90 conclude treaties, and he can
confer such titles aud pardons as ho
plc1ses. Parlianent has no right TO
interfere with his household expenses,
and his Cabinet goes before the diff
ferent houses and defends the admin
istration. J don't know that the laws
provide where Congress shall meet, but
the fact that the Emperor has Gale I

nearly 400 miles west of Toxic, shows
that he can do as he pleases in this

Quickest Hanging on Record.

Captain j. b. Patten, warden of tho
Indiana State Prison at Jacksonville.
has the record for experimenting the
quickest legal hanging ever accom-.
plished in this or any other country,
says the st. Louis Republic. The
laws of Indiana prescribe that the
death sentence must be executed be-
tween midnight and the dawn of day
set by the court. A man named Stone
had butchered whole family in Davis
County, OF that State, and had been
condemned to death. The case was
a celebrated one, and newspaper men
from indianapolis and Louisville went
down to Jacksonville in a perfect
phalanX to witness and report the
famous criminals exit from this vale
of tears. They arrived in the eariy
evening, expecting to return to their
homes en- a train leaving Jacksonville
ABOUT one O'Clock, by which time they
expected the execution to be over.
TO their intense disappointment and
chagrin. they discovered that the last
train they could take departed from
the prison tOwl at twelve o'clock at
night.
Having determined this they set
about arranging matters so they could
see the hanging and yet catch the
train. They teiegraphed the circum-
stances ahead TO the conductor, asking
him to hold the train until after the
execution. He consented to hold it
five minutes only. They were filed
with despairl Who ever heard of n
hanging, including prayers, speech
making, ct cctera, in five brief minu-
ties? But nevertheless they COM
menced Co work on Warden Patten.
The result was that everything was at
once gotten ready for sending the
murderer to eternity. Promptly at
the stroke OF midnight 5ho parson
finished his prayer in five more Sc
conds the moose was around the cor
dcmnel mans neck, the black cap
drawn, the trap sprung and in two
minutes ana twenty-five seconds the
attending physician pronounced the
murderer % corpse. Carriages waiting
outside tho Enclosure bore the report
ers Co tho train in another minute,
aud with nearly seventy seconds to
spare, the tram pulled out.

Wind YoriIces.

That intelligent traveller in South
Africa, Mr.. Burchell, says that in the
dry season, when the thermometer
frequently stood at ninetv-six degrees
in the shade, he often witnessed small
whirlwinds which drew up pillars of
dust, and these passed rapidly along,
carrying every light substance TO tho
height of 100 TO 400 feet.
Professor Smyth, while at Teuerife,
noticed this curious effect. A small
whirlwind passed close 60 their tent,
and seized upon the end of q roll of
blue cloth that was hanging out of a
chest, uDrollcd it although it was
forty yards long, and carried il up
into the sky 50 high that it looked
like q piece of ribbon there it sailed
slowly round in a circle, accompanied
by some hats, caps and other smaller
matters, after which, descending leis-
urely, it fell about 400 yards away, -

Compressed air was the paint brush

gated iron plates for buildings. The
compressed air not only draws the
paint from the tubs To the place where
it is to be used, but, by atomizing the
paint, sprays it over Il large surface
and drives il into the wood. In the
big shipyards of Cramp ~ Sons, Phil

handled easily and at any angle. A
piston and spring shove the tool in
and out, and it can he so regulated
that the most delicate work can be
done with it.
In the slaughter houses in the stock
yards the cattle are jerked up from

have been killed, and in the rolling
mills steel rails are lifted from the
cooling beds in the same way.
Acids, which would cat no pump

are rung, furnace CRATES are shaken,

steam boilers, railroad switches are
thrown and railroad gates opened,
passenger and freight elevators are
lifted, grain is cleaned, the pressure
of natural gas is increased, letters and

dred other things, of which nothing
is ever said, are done by compress se /
air. And every week something new
is found for it to do. Chicago Record
