not grow very high makes up In length,
attaining, according to Rumphius, in some
instances a length of twelve hundred feet
The ordinary cane of commerce attains a
length of five hundred feet. The bamboo
must have been the bean stalk of legend,
as 1t has been known to grow one foot in
twentyfour hours in Glasgow hot house,
and in Chinese jungles it often grows from
two to two and half feet in this time,
the greatest increase being observed in the
night.
Some Of the palms are giants, even their
leaves being enormous. leaf Of the RAJ
phia, Brazilian palm, is seventy feet long
and forty in diameter. Another genus,
Maximiliana regia, has leaves fifty feet
long, while single leaf of the Talipat
palm Of Ceylon is used as a tent, some
times covering fifteen people.
But of all the leaves that strike us as re-
markable that of the Victoria regia is the
most phenomenal On New Year, 1887, Sir
Robert Schomburgh was sailing up the
Berbice river, when he discovered the ia
nous lily with leaves six and a half feet
across, with rim five inches high, bright
green above and crimson beneath. Large
birds are often seen standing upon them,
and one grown in hot house served as a
raft for little child.
The seaweeds include some remarkable
forms. On the south shore of Santa Cata-
lima Island the great beds of kelp form in
certain places a protection, and a small
sometimes anchored by hauling aboard one
or the enormous leaves. The MacrocystiS
pyrifera grows in Antarctic waters to
length of two hundred feet, and at Ker-
guelens Land 1t has been found growing
upward to a length of seven hundred feet,
and strong enough to hold a good-sized
vessel-a veritable giant of the ocean.

"IIusbands Ordered at Eleven"

Duplicate whist is the rage among the
ladies of Buffalo, and the Commercial Of
that city says that whist invitations now
take this form: duplicate whist al s:

may be ordered at H." Which moves the
cynical Rochester Express to remark: THE
breezy frankness of this is delicious, and
one can imagine Buffalo husbands rushing
about in desperate haste each evening at
IL. Doubtless they meet on the door
steps of the houses where the symposia
are held, and chat and jest together over
the charms and whimS Of their ladies, just
their own coachmen used to do in the
simple and good old days when husband
and wife went to balls together or played
hearts, each with the other for partner.
But those evenings are long past. The
ladies rule, and the only comfort that the
docile but freezing Buffalo husbands have
now is the remembrance that in those
same old days ladies sometimes fell in
love with cOachmen, and SO may yet smile

TORPEDOES FOR DEFENSE,
Some Interesting Experiments Made
Mt WiIlets Point.

From the New York Herald
Swimming over the bosom of Long Island
sound, either on pleasure bent commerce
bound, few people realize that every foot of
the bottom has been carefully surveyed
sounded and plated out for a most compre-
hensive system of torpedo planting, which
would make that approach to New York
harbor practically impassa BILE for an enc

carefully has it Eeen done that within a very
short space of time lines of electric wires
could be running from all directions con-
verging at Willets Point and leading to
big black engines of war underneath the
water, which could be touched of at will,
sending the most formidable craft to quick
destruction.
Most of this work has been done under
the supervision of Lieut.. Col. William r.
King, corps of engineers, L. s. A, who is
now the commander in charge of the mill
tary post and engineers school at Willets
Point. He is a most capable officer and has
brought the work there up to high state
of efficiency. Experiments arc being con-
tinualiy made with high explosives, tor
pedoes and new devices of various kinds,
in addition to the routine instruction and
practice of an engineers school

Everything is being done to make this
fertilization one of the strongest of the

While guns of large caliber and great
power are being thus added to the works,
constant improvement of the torpedo sys-

is considered the best for the location. The

miles to seward, are comparatively calm

selected, together with complete chart of

They MistoOk the Situation.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The driver of a one-horse vehicle loaded
with boxes halted on Gratiot avenue and
got down and stood off few feet and
locked earnestly at the horse. Four or
five pedestrians came to IL halt, and one
of them promptly called out:
'.That horse has got chill and you ought
to unhitch him!'

Hes balky, eh?' queried a fat man
as he forced his way into the crowd.
- "Holler in his earl" shouted boy, who
vas up on balky horses.
'All you fel1ers git hold and push the
Wagn!" commanded a citizen, who ap-
pcared to be a born leader of men.
The crowd grew to fifty-eighty-a hun
dred, and the street was blocked. Men ex-
amned the wheels of the wagon, the feet
of the horse and the harness. The driver
but said nothing and made no move until
a policeman forced his way into the crowd

morning paper, under the free trade influ-

writer. 1t is still carried on by his brother,
but having recently gone over to Catholic
socialism, it is in disfavor with the old
fashioned abbes.
Compared. as they must be, with the
morning papers, the Temps and Debats are
still grave. Indeed. few morning papers
have anything like the actual amount Of
news of either of these two great evening
sheets. OF their same class there are only
four morning papers, the Figaro the SOleil
the Eclair and the Matin. The Gaulois, on
account of it's being the organ of aristo-
cratic society, might be classed as a first
class journal; but those who look in it for
news must be content with the movements
of ducheSSes
In literary sense the Figaro has always
bates and the investigation of social ques-
TONS 1t Is quite on level with the great
English weeklies and even the monthlies.
Don't Care for News.
OF the second-class morning papers there
are the Echo de Paris and the Gil Bias,
both very literary and both devoted to the
demi-monde; the Evenen'ent which tries to
make a speciality of the Boulevard; the
Journal, which pays great attention to
literature; the Voltaire and the Consti-
tut!onelle. OF all these papers, first or sec
ond-class, the Eclair and Matin are re-
markable for news. But the third-class
morning dailies throw aside all thought of
news and revel in the eloquence of their
proprietors. Oh, that there was space to

A French Sleeping Woman.

From the Paris Republique Franchise.
AT the little village of Thenelles, near S..
Quentin, there is sleeping woman who is
alleged to have been asleep for no less a
period than twelve years. Her name is
Marguerite Bouyenval. Twelve years ago
Marguerite, then young and beautiful girl
of twenty-one years of age, was delivered
of child, which died almost Immediately
after it's birth. Some of the village gossips
would have it that the child had been MUIR
dered, and so persistent We're the rumors
that at length police magistrate deter
mined to investigate the matter. Accom-
panied by a couple of policemen, he called
on the young mother. At the sight of the
policemen she tainted away, and it is al
legged that ever since she has been in a
cataleptic state. Only once, when needles
were stuck in her flesh, has she ever ut
tered sound during that time. The doc
tors have tried in vain to awaken her by
means of electric batteries. She is artifi-
cially fed four times a day with pepsin and
milk. 1t is said that offers have been made
to her family by enterprising showmen in
France and America, who want to exhibit
her publicly.

Paris journalists say that the Parisians
do not care for news, it hurts their heads.
This idea does not gee with the eternal
gossiping which is the soIace of French
living. 1t is not consistent with the avidity
with which the readers gobble up the mea-
ger Fats Divers or local news, such as
a dog in Asnieres having Matched out
ducks eggs. Nor is it consistent with the
praise the evening papers give themselves
when they achieve beat. In the Paris
evening papers any bit of news is sure
beat, unless IL happens in a cafe where
there are thirty-fve reporters sitting all
day playing cards.
In the more important papers news. to be
printed even when got hold of. must have
certain character. 1t must be piquant, ex
travagant, possessing clements of surprise
or comedy. Political runners lending them
selves more readily to such distortion than
