President Schurman of the Cornell university and all his subordlnates and his assistants are heartily in favor of the maintenance oe the gold standard. Some of them have been figuring how unlimited silver coinage would affect that institution. They have an endow- ment of $10000, 900, of which $6, 300, 900 is income producing funds More of this money is invested in municipal bonds than in any other form of security. Real estate mortgages are second in amount and railroad bonds third Only five per cent. of all the university's se- and interest in gold.

These salaries would soon have to be in creased, to make up the loss of 47 per cent. by the Appreciated dollars.

Recent reports from Mount Vesuvius say that it's eruption is steadily increas- ing in volume. A broad stream is flow ing down north of the Atrio del Cavallo in the direction of the Fosso della yetran, and the cone of ashes, with the crater of Vesuvius proper in the center, is visibly growing The interior pla- teau which stems the lava flow appears at night all on ire.

Professor Bouvier, at the Paris Acad- emy of Sciences, has been describing the destruction of 0 telegraphic cable by insects. The cable was laid in Ton kin in 1894, and was composed of seven copper wires protected by an insulating envelope coated with cotton and jute. In addition to this, 1t was placed in 0 leaden pipe. Notwithstanding all these precautions, the cable, which was laid on a marshy soil, began to show signs of decay in 1885, and it was found nec- essary to replace it in the spring of the present year. On examining the cavi- ties in the protecting envelope M Bou- vier discovered that they had been made by termites. MT. Milne Edwards, commenting on the Professors address, said that it was not the first time that injury to metals by insects had been noted. During the Crimean war bull lets were found to have been perfor- ated by hymenoptera, which came from the deal boards of which the pack ing cases had been made. M Bouvier advised the use of sulphate of copper as a preventive measure. He contend ed that to protect a cable it would suf- flee to steep the cotton and jute in so- lution of that salt.

Advice to those about to marry is given in businesslike way by this mo- tice pasted on an English country church door: "We desire that in future many will come to be married in - 5000 there certainly ought to be large number of marriages in the year. Fees vary from 10s upward. Those desiring a fully choral service, with organ, can have same at days notice, at from two to five guineas. It is to be hoped that many will take advantage of these choral marriages, as the fees will be helpful for the heavy expenses of the choir.'

hit upon a novel plan to get some
whisky. They went into a saloon
with Il gallon jug and had it filed with
liquor and offered a dollar in payment.
Or course the bartender refused to ac-
cept the money and emptied the liquor
back into the barrel and the tramps
took the jug departed. Later they
were seen to break the earthen vessel
over q stone and squeeze u over a
pint of liquor from the sponges which
had been placed on the inside.
