International Signal Code.

On July 2, 1855, a committee was ap-
pointed by the British board of trade
ito inquire into and report upon the
subject of a code of signals to be used
at sea-" In September of the following
year this committee presented a code
made up of eighteen flags and pen
ants. representing the eighteen onsO-
nant letters of the alphabet, out Of
which 1852 combinations could be
made for words and sentences. A sig
nal book of combinations, with The
words, sentences. names of places and
ships which these combinations repre-
scented, was prepared, adopted, and
afterward translated by many foreign
nations. This code has now become es-
tablished all over the world, and is
known as the international Signal
Code. Now when Il ship meets another
ship at sea, her captain looks In his
signal book for the combination of
flags which represent his ships name,
and hoists them. The captain of the
other ship looks at the combination In
his book, and reads opposite to 1t the
same name. Then he tells his ships
name in the same way. Then he may
ask questions to tell anything by look
ing in the signal book for the sente noes
or parts of sentences, he wants, and
hosting the combination of flags which
makes them. In his own language, the
other captain will find the same SEN
fences opposite the same combinations
of flag letters in his own signal book.

Art In Ordinary Hardware.

Not only have the designs of Amer
can hardware improved in late years,
but the finish is much finer. The first
condition is due to the employment of
trained artists familiar as were the
madieval workmen with the conditions
and quality of metal. The second o
dition is due to the use Of new process
es. A machine can be paint d my
color without increasing its efficiency,
but it Is curiously true that handsomely
finished apparatus stands Il better
chance than that which is rough of
getting well treated by the men into
whose hands it falls. A recent writ r
remarked that in this direction p T.
haps the most important invention has
been that If the Bower-Barff process.

favorable circumstances lis pract cally

use of wrought iron in a manne that

European artists of The past. The dull,
lusterless, black color thus gwen to
iron is in most appropriate keeping
with the various lighter colors of hard
woods, and when used for hinge st APPS
for doors is exceedingly effec i've with

From Woodstock, Va, Herald.
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both these wars without a serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him -four years age 1t nearly
killed him. Who can o o on the in
firmities of n veteran without a feeling
of the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too,
and as he attempted 1t. he often
stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years.
and gave up finally in despair. One
day. however, he was struck by the
account of a cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He Immediately ordered a box
and commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood ound it's way
to his fingers and his hands which a
been palsied assumed a natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an ex-
tent that he Is able to chop wood. shock
corn and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock. but a walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift a fifty-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
DR.. williams Pink Pills ave done for
others, but knows that they have done
q great work for him..
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises Of the
medicine hat a given him so great
relief. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.

One Hundred Million Stars.

Let us see what richness of stellar
distribution is implied by this lumber
of 100, 200, 600 of visible stars. 1t may
be easily shown that the area of the
whole sky in both hemispheres is A.
255 square degrees. This gives 42i
stars to the square degree The moons
apparent diameter being slightly over
half a degree (31 minutes 5 seconds,
the area of its disk is about one-fifth
Of n square degree. The area of the
whole star sphere is consequently about
200.0 900 times the area of the full moon.
A total of 1OO,OOO,0O0 of stars gives,
therefore 500 stars to each space of sky
equal in area to the full moon.
This seems a large number but stars
scattered even as thickly as this would
appear at a considerable distance apart
when viewed with a telescope Of a high
power. AS the area Of the moons disk
contains about 76O square minutes of
| arc. there would not be an average OF
even one star to each square minute
A pair of stars half a minute. or &c
seconds apart, would form a very wide
double. and with stars placed at even
this distance the moons disk would
cover about 5000 CT six times TIL
actual number visible in the | rstst
telescopes. :,

In 1870 the United States covered
the same tract of the earth's surface
as now, amounting to 100000 square
miles. Hardly more than a fifth of
this represented the United States of
1879. About a third of the vast do
main was settled, the western frontier
running irregularly parallel with the
Mississippi, but nearer to that stream
than to the Rocky mountains.
The center OF population was forty
eight miles east by north of Cincinnati,
having moved westward forty-two
miles since 1860. Except certain we'll
peopled sections on the Pacific slope,
and little civilized strips in Utah, Col
orado and New Mexico, the Great West
had but one tenuous population. Over
immense regions 1t was still an Indian

a wondrous climate.

The English Novel.

The adjustment of the three-vol-
NJ novel in England has resulted in
er type in the %One-volume substitute.
This has been made necessary by com
pressing three volumes into one. The
average English novel is between 49,
900 and 10000 words long, and in
t~hree-volume shape there was ample
room for wide margins and good type,
which there is not in the single book.
There is not much chance of the novel
list making their books any shorter.
as they are paid by the publishers so
much per thousand words. Fol them
