Ii Hung Chang Abroad.

Ii Hung Chang speaks no language
but Chinese and had seen nothing OF
the outside world before starting on his
preseut tour. Doubtless his eyes have
been opened to the wealth, resources
and civilization which exist outside OF
the Flowery Kingdom, and his ohserva-
tons should be of benefit to his country
upon his return, should he maintain the
favor of his sovereign. The war with
japan must have impressed upon the
ruling classes in China that their nation
les far behind the age. Lis visit abroad
must convince them that the civiliza-
ton Of dragons, kites and paper UNI
brellas cannot Withstand the civiliza-
tior of Europe and America.-Philadel.

MUSCLE VS.. MACHINERY.
Facts Shown: tho Man Power Modern
Primo Mover Represents.

Facts Shown: tho Man Power . Modern
Primo Mover Represents.
What a puny thing is muscular pow
err, whether animal or human, when
compared with the vast efforts exerted
nowadays by machinery was illustrated
recently by an English scientist, Sir
Frederick Bramwell Contrasting a
galley, for example, vessel propelled
by oars-with a modern Atlantic liner.
and assuming that prime movers were
non-existent, and that this vesse; was
to be propelled after galley fashion, he
proceeded thus: Take the length or
the vessel as 600 feet, and assume that
place could be found for as many as
400 oars on each side, each oar worked
by three men, or 2,40O men, and allow
that six men under these conditions
could develop work equal to one horse
power. We should then have 400 horse
power. Double the number Of men and
we should have 800 horse power, with
1890 men at work, and at least the
same number in reserve il the journey
is to be carried on continuously. Con-
trast the puny result thus obtained
with 1880 horse power given forth by
a larg, prime mover of the present dag.
such a power requiring on the above
mode of calculation III, 1000 men at
work and III, 900 In reserve, and these
to be carried in a vessel less than 600
feet in length. Even were it possible
to carry this number Of men in such
vessel. by no conceivable means could
their power be utilized SO as to impart
to it a speed of twenty knots an hour.
/. This illustrates how a prime mover
may not only be mere substitute for
muscular work, but may AFFORD the
means Of attaining an end that could
not by any possibility be attained by
muscular exertiOn, no matter what
money was expended or what galley
slave suffering was inflicted.
Take, again, the case Of railroad
locomotive, in which from 400 to 600
horsepower is developed in an imple-
ment which, even including its tender.
does not occupy an area Of more than
fifty square yards, and that can attain
a speed of more than sixty miles an
hour. Here again the prime mover
succeeds in doing that which no ex-
penditure Of money or of life could
draw from muscular effort.-New York
Journal.

No, All Lawyer. Good wr.n......

Some Of our clever lawyers are not
clever at all when they are called upon
to give evidence. They can hack and
tear testimony to pieces. but when it
devolves upon themselves to make state
ments from the witness stand they are
not 'in it," Proof Of the truth Of this
assertion came out ut trial day or
two ago. One Of our celebrated lawyers
was called upon to testify. Instead Of
giving direct answers to his interrogation
las he himself would insist on having
. witness do-his replies. or, rather.
statements, were entirely foreign to the
line Of his examination. He was repeat

ing testimony. but the warnings might
