WHERE PARIS IS AHEAD.
Her Wonderful System of Pneumatic Tubes
 and Telephones.

Her Wonderful System of Pneumatic Tubes
 and Telephones.
 In Paris the pneumatic tubes used in the dispatch of card telegrams and lev ter telegrams from one portion of the city to the other are placed in the sew" CTS. The excellent sewer system mas helped the development of this handy means of communication in way which would not have been possible otherwise. It is ouicker than tho telegraph for mes- sages within tho city and would be per feet if the slow Parisian facteur were replaced by the smart LosNon boy mes- senger. As we stand below the tube we can hear tho whiz of the ''ehase" dis tinotly. There it goes at lightning speed, Ahearing, most probably, some tender message from loYesiek Jean at his office at the bourse to pretty Jeanette, who is toiling somewhere near the Bon Marche and fixing a rendezvous for tho evening after the day s labors are over Wonder fully cony yenient these telegrams for cor respondence-mores secret than the tele- gram proper, making no awkward mis- takes in times and places-and, best of all, preserving the oaligraphy of the sender.
 More serious things are doubtless pass- ing across the coils which cover the re- mainder of the roof of the tunnel. These are the telegraph and telephone wires, thousands of miles of them, connecting the BIO postoffioes and placing hundreds of subscribers in the city within ear- shot. Overhead wires arc prohibited in Paris, so are sky signs, and how much the city gains in beauty those only Sknow who have seen London, with its unsightly webs strung across the house. tops, spelling whatever of the piotur- esque there may be about the streets and constituting 0 serious danger to per sons and property.
 There is no comparison either in the efficiency of the telephone in tho two oities. 4 whisper may be heard in Par is, while in London telephoning is gen. orally most exasperating operation. A striking piece of evidence on this point Is afforded by tho fact that it is we'll nigh impossible to telephone from Paris to any given subscriber in London. and that before the instrument could be of any practical use for long messages the two great foreign news agenoies-Dal- 2iel's and Reuter- er's-were obliged to have special wires laid underground to their offices from St. Martins 8 le Grand. On the other hand, any subscriber in any part of the French capital may be heard with ease from the general post office in London. In this and one or two other matters already mentioned John Bull has a great deal to learn from Jaoques Bonhomme. Good Words.

THROUGHOUT MISSOURI.
Missouri school Of Mines.

Mr.. Courtenay DeKalb, professor of
mining and metallurgy in the Missouri
school of mines and metallurgy, at
Rol1a, in answer to the statement made
by the junketing committee of the
legislature that nearly all the appro-
priation for equipment had been ex-
pended in such a manner as to give the
students practice in the concentration
and development of gold and silver
rather than those minerals in which
this state is more particularly inter
ested, said:
This is an entirely gratuitous assumption OF
the committee. absolutely without foundation
in fact. and would Indicate that the committee
was unable to judge of the relative importance
OF the various appliances in the mining and
metallurgical plant OF the school Of mines The
truth is that out Of an expenditure OF slO.0Oo
for equipment. only e620 were expended Tor
equipment intended for the reduction OF gold
and silver ores. being one-sixteenth OF the to-
tai Part Of this gold and silver plant,
moreover. is equally applicable to the treat
ment Of copper ores. which are mentioned In
the'report among the products Of Missouri. so
that, deducting the cost Of this machine. there
remains an expenditure for plant adapted only
to the treatment of gold and silver ores the
Insignificant sum of t345. being merely one
twenty ninth Of the total outlay for equipment
The whole of the plant, excepting this small
outfit for gold and silver, is adapted to the
treatment of lead, zinc and copper ores, in addi-
ton to which it is applicable to the concentra-
ton Of iron and other ores OF less importance.
The criticism OF the committee. Therefore, falls
to the ground when tested by facts The labo-
ratory equipment of the Missouri school Of
mines consists of the best and most modern
apparatus. every appliance being OF standard
size, so that students will here be enabled to
fyain av IN
ores with identically the same machines which
are employed in the great mills and reduction
works OF Missouri and other leading mineral
states. Additional appliances are needed to
perfect the equipment but as it stands it is
capable OF treating all important ores"
