POPULAR SCIENCE.

The greatest depth, writes Prof See

earthquakes are known to originate is
about 30 miles. 1t has also been calcu-
lated that heat sufficient to melt gran
ite might occur at about the same

London barometers on January 0,
1896, showed pressure of 3O.934 inches
at nine o'clock p. IN. Only four times
in $50 years has a height above 800
inches been recorded. On the same day,
near Chester, the barometer reached
Blob inches.
a recent scientific traveller in Pal
estine publishes as the result of his OBJ
servations that the Sea of Galilee, which
is 500 feet below the level of the Med
iterranean, is fast becoming like the
Dead sea, with dense water and salt
formations on its banks. The traveller
believes that the bottom of the sea is
sinking, and that greater changes in ii
are impending.

Common Sense and the Money Question.
The money question is at the present
time confusing many people. 1t notonly
diSturbs those who make daily struggle
to get it,, but those who are burdeucd
with the question of how best to invest it.
The system Gf our present status may
be so digniied) of finances now in opera
tion is unsatisfactory to large number
of people and certainly needs improving.
1t seems that the few popular theories
that are offered are more or less extreme
and need to be considered carefully.
All theories present some facts worthy
OF consideration, and whoever forgets
this proves himself to be out of harmony
with the genius of modern government
and the spirit Of progress.
The article of Hon. w. H. Little. as
sistant postmaster of st. Louis, which
appears on the fourth page, is vigorous.
original, clean and able. Indeed, it is Il
financial theory that every statesman,
economist and fnancicr must reckon
with, to say the least. The real diff
Guilty in the way Of settling the financial
question is that too many men take sec
tonal views of it. Money is for the en-
tire people and not only for bankers and
mine owners. The interest and con-
venicnce of all should be consulted and
the needs of all met in reasonable way.
Another matter that should not be
forgotten is that denunciation and
bIustcr are not argument, and he who
INDUCES most in ridicule and brayado
unconsciously acknowledges that he is
weak in argument.
There will probably be two issues in
the next presidential campaign, the
tariff and money. The former has been
discussed so much that most attention
Will be given to the latter. 1t is emin-
entity important that a fair hearing be
given to all sides thus enabling lis to
get comparative conception of the
value of theories and the possibilities of
future legislation.
The situation is so serious. the need
so imperative, that we ought to have a
body of scientific eXperts-men free from
the influence of partisan bias-to
thoroughly investigate the causes of
trade depression and to present report,
with recommendations for such changes
as are necessary to overcome present
difficulties. We expect to give our
readers a number of able articles on
this question and bcspeall their serious
consideration.

One of the great balls of Paris is that
of the so-called "Bal des Gems de Mai
SON. at the Sale Wagram, which has
just been held. The Gems de NIaison"
are AN association comprising some
COCO of the superior servants, the
cream, in fact, and the aristocracv of
the 10000 domestics employed to wait
upon the well-to-do citizens of Paris.
The union is rich and eclectic. in so far

bon of the Legion of Honor crosses that
of President Faurc, received the guests
at the ball with just as much dignity
and statelincss as if he were the chief
magistrate of the republic in person.
The demcanor of the guests was ire
proachable, and the attire of both men
and women compared favorably with
that of the people present at the mu-
nicipal ball a couple of days previously.
The men were in full evening dress,
while the magnificent jewels that
adorned the necks, the arms, and the
cotfurcs of many of the women gave
evidence of the fact that their mistress
c9 had allowed them for the occasion
free access to their caskets.
These gems, however, and the costly
laces may be said to have constituted
the sum total of the borrowed plumes
for it was manifest from the perfect
fit of the gowns that they had been
made for their wearers. This is by no
means surprising when it is borne in

This Little Dialogue May Serve to Make

The palaces of America are the New
York hotels. The visitor from the back
district enters II New York hotel Office
in the same spirit that he would invade
ST. Peters, in Rome. There is some
thing in the architectural grandeur, in
the richness and extravaganza of form
and color, in the mellow light coming
from vaultcd ceilings and colored glass
that touches the spirit with a sense of
calm. And the man behind the rose
wood and onyx counter! What dignity
of micn! What austcrity of counte-
nance! What ,Jove-lille front! And the
gentleman coming yonder across the
mosaic floor. lie may be the head of u
great educational institution, or n
statesman, high in the councils of the
nations. He is followed by a black
servant in livery, carrying his personal
effects.
But, ah! Human nature is the same
in the midst of all its impressiveness as
it is in Princeville or Jackson's corners.
The distinguished-looking gentleman
seizes by the hand the dignitary on the
other side of the counter and says:
Hello! old stockin', how are you? You
look fit TO run four miles!'
"Bully! bully! Charley, old man!
