1t is stated in regard to the new mon
ster sailing ship Potosi, recently launched
at Hamburg, that some difficulty was en-
countered when it came to distinguish be-
tween the five masts. 1t was finally de-
cided to call the one in the bow the
foremast and then, following aft, they
were called the greatmast, the middle
mast, the crossmast and the besanmast.
Similar German names were invented for
other parts of the brig.

A report from Sidney, Cape Breton, N.
S., says: 1.-THE fishing industry, which
means nearly everything to a great num-
ber of our people, is very poor this sea-
son. At almost all the fishing places
the fish are reported very scarce. This,
with the very low price which is being
offered this year, makes it exceedingly
hard for our fishermen. The bait which
has been so scarce all along is, however,
becoming more plentiful, and it is to bG
hoped that the fishing will improve"

The durability of wet timber is some
thing remarkable. Recently, according to
Vienna paper, one of the piles sup
porting the bridge built across the Dan
ube by the Emperor Trajan was taken
up. Although driven seventeen centuries
ago, it showed no change, except that
it was petrifed to the depth of three
quarters of an inch. The chestnut, beech,

Taking the mileage of coast in connec-
tion with leading lights, the Neither
lands supplies one lighthouse for every
nine miles of coast; England France and
Denmark, one lighthouse for every II
miles of coast; Ireland one lighthouse for
every 16 miles of coast; Scotland one
lighthouse for every 10 miles of coast
Germany one lighthouse for every 20
miles of coast; Norway and Sweden one
lighthouse for every 25 miles of coast.
Scotland is therefore worse off than Ire
land by IS per cent and worse off than
England by 5S per cent in the matter of
the provision Of lighthouses.
Mr.. Paul T.. Stevenson, of Kennebunk
port, Me-, thinks that Captain Campbell,
of the British ship Drumalis, recently at
Frisco, was not the original inventor
of triangular courses He writes to
the Marine Journal: From my personal
experience l should say that others have
an equal right to be considered the in
ventors. Last year 1 was passenger on
the British ship Bangalore, on "A voyage
to Calcutta, and we bent a cross jack
and 1 think main sail of the same cut
as the sails you speak Of while rum
ming down our casting in the southern
ocean. the Bangalore's master assured
me that he had used triangular courses
for many voyages. During the passage
referred to above they certainly were
very successful"

ALTGELD'S TIRED FEELING.
 Gov. Altgeld hurls at the Illinois Legislature u tome of some 9, 900 punctuation points instersprersed with words both inclusive, which is denominated message. In it he remarks about the President order ing troops to Chicago last summer, and goes into a tedious homily about the autonomy of States, Fed eral intervention and sacred rights generally, which are alleged to have been ripped up the back by one Grover Cleveland under a pretense of removing Instructions to the pas sage of Uncle Sam's mail Then there is whole lot about labor troubles, much of which is true, though triie, together with a great leal of stuff about tRussianizing the American public. It is q good thing Aligeld has no more public service to perform, for now he can go and get his liver mended which is evidently much out Of repair.

Sine Startling Experience Of MontanA
 Man, Who StiI Survives the Shock.
 Charles E. Hoffman, of Butte, Mont, was standing at the mouth of a mine nat long ago when he was struck by lightning The thunderbolt, he thinlcs, first struck the straw hat he was wear Ing. and it tore hole in the hat that cut part of the rim. Then it tore his clothing into shreds and left him naked. Both his overalls and the shirt he was wearing presented the appear ance of having passed through sau-. sage mill. Nobody can tell him why. he was not killed by the lightning. The bolt, he says, after passing through his hat, struck him on the shoulder and ran the full length of his body, burn- ing the skin to a crisp on the side and legs. It also cut his left foot on the side and bottom, breaking the bones of the foot.
 My clothes were torn to pieces and thrown from my body" said Mir. Hoff- man to writer for the New York World. land my shoes were torn from my feet"
 He became unconscious as soon as he was struck by the lightning and did not revive for an hour and a half. When he regained his senses Hoffman was in great pain and he was confined to the hospital for nine weeks. When Hoifman's clothing was examined after the accident 1t was seen that in many places the lightning had cut the cloth as neatly as if 1t had been done with 8 of ,%e 1r,, straight. The lightning took his clothes off quicker than he could have undressed himself, and it threw them in pile on one side of the track, with his shoes carefully deposited beside the pile. The clothes seemed to have been neatly folded until they were exam ined and found to be pile of rags. Hoffman's pants" had been yanlSed off him without the formality of pulling them over his feet. This seemingly im- possible task was accomplished by the lightning first cutting each leg open, and then 1t appeared to have talk en them by the seat and dropped them on the coat, and to- finish the job by depositing MT. Hoffmans straw hat on top of all After it got through with Hoffman this remarkable streak of lightning ran along metal erach into the Glengary mine. at the mouth of which he had been working, ran to the end of the shaft, which is four hundred feet below the surface of the ground, and then it ran along 'cross cut two hundred feet where 1t branehed off and for sixty feet followed s'winze." There were several men at work at this point, and all were more or less stunned. The bolt of lightning went into the earth when it reached the end of the "winze." Hoffman is now known In Butte as 'sthe human lightning rod"

THE FIRST BookBlNDlNe.
It Was Done in the Third Century, Before

It Was Done in the Third Century, Before
 the Birth of Christ
 It was only when writing was made upon separate pieces, O. sheets, Of piiable and perishable material that binding proper was invented to hold the pieces or sheets together and give strength to them and protection and beauty.
 But here, again, we must distinguish. The pliable written sheet may be either rolled or folded, each giving rise to 8 form of binding peculiar to itself. The rolled sheet is bound by fastening each sheet to the other sideways and rolling the whole from end to end, the last sheet serving as a cover to all the rest. This form of binding is no doubt the more ancient of the two, and it was for a long time in general use. It was used, for example, by the Egyptians it was probably invented by them and it was used by the Greeks and by the Romans, and great libraries of rolls existed for some time after the Christian era, and many indus tries were engaged in contributing to the perfection of the binding. It has, however, been superseded for many centuries by the folded form Of literature, the invention of which is attributed to Eumenes, king of Per- gamus from whom, toe, comes our parchment, or skin, prepared for writ ing on), in the third century before Christ. But, if the form has disap- peared, the terminology of the roll has survived, and the word volume" or iginally thing that is rolled or wound up, l. e., roll, is now applied indis- eriminately to it's substitute, the book of folded sheets.
 The folded sheet or section, as it Is called, is bound by simply sewing or otherwise fastening the parts of the sheet to one another at the back crease or fold, and a number of sec. aions are bound by fastening each of them to some common support at the back, so that when all are sewn or oth- erwiss fastened they may yet be free to open and to shut at pleasure at the front or fore edge"
 The invention of the folded sheet thus gave rise to the invention of mod ern binding, which In it's essence is the union at the back of the folded sheets, which together constitute the folded book, or, IS I may say, despite the la tent contradiction, the folded volume. --FortnightlY Review.
