POPULATION OF CANTON.

The following particulars are tax
EN- from the North China Herald:
In recent census taken by order
OF the viceroy at Canton, the inner
and outer cities are shown to con-
tain 401 streets and lanes, 24,962
houses, 233 temples, 107, O35 males,
and 63,975 females. The eastern
suburb has 1913 streets, etc, 1927
houees, 81 temples, 23,7 males,
and 1882 females. The western
suburb contains 875 streets and
lanes, 1922 houses, 226 temples,
1872, 249 meles, and 1885 females.
The southern suburb contains IS
streets, 3,476 houses, 33 temples,
1892 males, and 6,4O2 females.
Altogether there are 1876, 754
males and 1854 females, SO,OO7
houses and SOC temples. There is
also the boat population, which
sixty years ago numbered $4,000,
giving, at three prisons per boat
much too low an average-a popu-
lation then of $4,000. This num-
Der must be now largely increased,
and $4,000 to 100000 would prob
ably be nearer the mark-children
are not included probably. This
brings up the population to 1000,
900. In sixty years this population
should nearly have doubled itself,
and the estimate now given by for
eign observers is 100000 A poll
tax is levied on persons without
house property, and there is ten
dency to underrate the number of
persons avoiding taxation. The
great discrepancy between male and
female population is noticeable. 1t
is ascribed to the fact that the
wives and families of most of the
workers live in the netghboring
country villages. The women live
in cheap houses in the country,
and the girls stay with their moth
ers till they are betrothed, and then
60 to their mothers-in-law. While
men abound in cities, the village
populations are chiefly female.
Representative male heads of fam
lilies live in the villages, and there
is sufficient adult male labor to
cultivate the fields. The brothers
and sons go to the city.
Canton is a city of workshops,
printers, crrpenters, workers in
lacquer ware, sailmakers, silver
smiths, braziers, workers in ivory
end tortoise shell, painters on
glass, on paper, and on silk; glass
blowers, fire-work makers, mat
weavers, cloth weavers, makers of
china ware, of grass cloth; and
Jade stone turner's. Of all these
trades, women only are engaged in
embroidery. In addition. men in
China cook, run errands, sweep
floors and wait at table. Women
only do the washing; hence the
marked preponderance Of males
over females in the city. 1t may
be added that life in the country
is much more moral than in the
cities, chiefly owing to the family
institution being in full operation
in the villages.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1a.-The resignation
of every Tammany head of a depart
ment may be placed in the hands Of
Mayor Strong when he shall take Office
on January at noon. Many of the
best politicians in the organization ad
wise that such a course be pursued. The
people. by their votes. have decided fol-
a complete change in the municipal ad
ministration, and politicians of Tam
many hall believe that no obstacle
should be put in the way.
Speaking on the subject member
of the Tammany hall executive com

very best thing for the organization
If our administration of affairs is cor
rupt, the reformers should have imme
date opportunity to cleanse it. That
Mayor Strong may not be hampered
the present Tammany board of esti

SPLITTING SECC-
How Minute Intervals of Time Are AeeuP
ately Measured.

AccUR
ately Measured.
The measurement of minute inter-
walls of time is one of the most difficult
subjects met with in the laboratory,
and this is more especially the case as
the apparatus employed is often little
adapted for the use of those who lack
experience in the precision gained by
years of experimental work in physics.
A Frenchman has recently devised q
photoehronograph which comprises a
metallic disk, turning freely on an
axis passing through its center. The
free end of a spring carries a needle
point. which bears against the disk; this
spring is timed to give five hundred
vibrations per second. This rate is de-
termined by timing the spring so that
it vibrates between known vibrations
of 493 and 522 periods per second.
ANY want of extreme accuracy in the
determination of the intermediate
point is not of great Importance, as it
can be shown that the difference only
affected the fifth place of decimals Of
single second. OF course, any var
iation in speed of the disk does not
influence the number of vibrations Of
the spring. BY means of a magnesium
light traces of the path of the spring
are left upon a sensitive plate mounted
upon the disk The apparatus is GER
tainly not new in principle, but the
arrangement is one which has not been
described in this particular form

CATTLE HERDS OF MISSIONS.


Under Many Favorable Condittoas ths
Trade Has Prospered.
The growth of cattle herds in Cali
fornia from the early settlement of the
country, and for sixty years or more,
despite many untoward circumstances
md unfavorable conditions, such as
protracted droughts, and the inability
to protect herds from inclement
weather, and the ravages of wild
beasts, was indeed, remarkable. In
ira there were distributed among the
missions, then established. only 204
head of cattle. Twenty-Five years
later this number had increased to
"a, 600, and from the beginning of the
present century the herds increased so
rapidly, that in time it became a serious
question q to how pasturage should
be found for all the stock, II becoming
necessary in many instances to kill off
hundreds of horses and old cattle to
make provision for the herds.
The padres of this missions were the
first and for maify years the heaviest
cattle owners. and at one time, had il
not been for the restrictions of the
existing government. they were in .
way to build up gigantic monopoly
in the beef, hide and tallow trade.
The government established ranches

all private herds was each year set
aside, branded with the royal brand
and turned loose on the ranges belong

That the oleomargarine fend has in.
vaded England, too, is plain from tho fol.
lowing from London Graphic:
Tho fact that this favorite sort Of but
ter is selling in London for less than at
tho chief Brittany towns has attracted
tho attention Of English farmers, and
inquiry has elected that the French law
against adultoration with margarine
practically allows tho adultorator 10
per cent margin even in France, while
the Brittany butter "for export only"
IL said to escape even this very modcr
ate requirement of purity. The govern
mont is, We believe, to DO pctitioned to
represent to tho French that such laxity
il good for neither country and may
lead to II prohibition Of imports Of but
ter from France except where the con-
signmcnts havo been examined by IN
expert mt the custom house. The strug
giles Of the British dairy farmer are hard
enough without this additional compc-
tition of an adulterated article. We note
that groccrS are now sending out circu-
lars dvcrtiSing ''frcshly clurncd mar
garino' ut nincpcnco per pound, This
ingenious phrase, freshly churnod "
evidently il intended to suggest to tho
masses certain intimate connection
between margarine and tho COW, such
ms, in brutal fact, does not exist. The
reluctance Of successive governments to
deal firmly with clear nttcmptsa at fraud
Is ono of tho most astonishing things of
the present day. Obstacles are met with
in the most unexpected quarters, and
nothing but very strong pressure from
the agricultural interest will secure u
remedy oven for this foreign adultcra-
ton. We are disposed to think that the
present high standard for fatty matter
in milk might be somewhat ahatcd, the
strong hand of the law being moro cspo-
cinlly directed against tho addition of
foreign substances A sugggcstion has
recently been made that II seller of butter
should not be allowed to be also u seller
of margarine. and yico versa This
would prevent many minor frauds.
