A Colossal Statue of Beroliua.

The colossal statue of Berolina, the
allegorioal representative of the city
of Berlin, in the Alexander Platz, of
that city, will soon be unveiled with
imposing ceremonies. 1t is twenty-five
feet high from the feet to the crown,
and will stand on pedestal of red
granite of equal height. Dressed in a
coat of mail and covered by a flowing
gown, the strong but still well-rouuded
shape of the figure is shown TO best
advantage. The left hand is held out
as if extended to welcome, while the
right Is resting on a shield. On the
breast she wears on long chain a
copy of the gold medal with the por-
trait of King Frederick William III,
which was given by that monarch to
the Mayor of Berlin, to be worn as an
insignia of his office. The sculptor,
Professor L. Hundrieser, has been sig-
nally honored by the German Emperor
for the work.-New York Tribune.

The New York Medical Record re.
fers to the TACT that DR.. Snow, to
whom Great Britain owes its first i'm
munity from epidemic cholera for the
last twenty-five years, and, of course,
for all future time, is almost forgotten
in that country. In commenting on
this fact, Sir Richard Quain recently
said: 'Dr. Snow made us masters of
the deadly plague of cholera. He
thereby saved millions Of lives. The
sole reward which England has con-
ferred upon him is midnight obsourity.
If he had been soldier" he con-
tinued, "instead of doctor, if he had
slain his thousands, instead of saving
his millions, every town would have
hailed him as hero, and the Nation
would have honored his memory with
monuments more enduring than
brass" DIR. Shows work consisted in
discovering that cholera is water
born disease.

In technical sense we have no Ma
tional holidays, as there is nowhere a
power to set apart such days and COM
pei their observance, declares the New
Orleans Picayune. A State can only
establish holiday within its own
borders, and the authority of Con.
gress in that direction is limited to
the District OF Columbia and the Ter.
ritories. OF course a holiday practi.
cally becomes National when it is eel
ebrated by all the people of all the
States and Territories. OF these we
have only two. Christmas and the
Fourth of July. The days which Con.
gress has set apart as holidays are New
Years Day. Washington's Birthday,
Inauguration Day, every four years,
Fourth OF July, Decoration Day, In
dependence Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. However, these days are
not celebrated as holidays in all the
States. New Years Day is not a holi-
day in Massachusetts,, New Hampshire
or Rhode Island. Mississippi, Arkan-
sas and Iowa do not celebrate officially
the birthday of the Father of their
country, Decoration Day is observed
only in the North, and Labor Day is a
legal holiday in only about half of the
States

In "a Glimpse OF Longfellow," pub
lished in one of the magazines, Rev.
Minot j. Savage calls him 'the most
widely read poet of the English-speak-
ing world" This is approximately
true, observes the New York World,
and the cause for it is found in the
poets universal sympathy with the
literature OF all times and countries.
He is the most widely read poet of
America because of all American poets
he read most widely. The extent of
his studies is astonishing. In his
youth he went deep into the early lit
erature of England, and added to the
usual college acquaintance with the
classics knowledge of the Anglo-Sax-
on language and literature which did
much to insure his success. He went
from Saxon to the scandinavian Ian
guages and to old Morse; then to old
High German and from that to Ital-
ian, making translation of Dante,
which if lacking in the high poetic art
of the original verse will always be
respectable. AS result of wide lit
erary sympathies, be was able to APP
peal to the universal human nature.
If he had something of natural pro-
vineiGlism in his youth, his maturity
knew no boundary OF section or coun-
try. His works have been translated
into all the principal languages OF
Europe because by long labor he
learned to understand the common
humanity that underlies all differences
of Nationality. The central fact OF
his career was his great capacity for
work. 1t made him the greatest OF
New England poets and one of the
most useful men OF his century.

What Causes Hot Waves.

Hot waves are caused by low areas
appearing in the northwest and NOV
ing east and south, thus bringing
about warm winds from the south, and
disappearing as the development Of
nigh areas in the northwest. One of
the accompanying phenomena Of hot
waves was hot winds coming from the
southwest, their cause being sOme-
what obscure. DIR. Frankenheld
states that as a rule they move in mar
row belts, ranging from 100 feet to
half a mile in width. No good cause
can be assigned for this, save, proba-
bly,,local topography. Boston Guilt

Electricity has been successfully en-

An electrical publication says that
on December l, 1895, the length of
telegraph lines in the world was 904, =
701 miles, and the total miles of wire
used on the same 2,6S2, ,583, or enough
to go around the globe at the equator
over 107 times. The miles of line in
the United States January l, 1895,

A new application of calcium carcide
has been discovered by M. Rossel. By
heating powered carbide with mag
nesium in a current of air he succeeded
in fixing the nitrogen in the air, the
products being lime and nitride of
magnesium. This compound immersed
in water decomposes, giving out am
monia. NJ Rossel has also obtained
combinations of nitrogen with alumi-
mum and iron.
A small living South American ro-

been found to be closely related
to, and a surviving representative Of,
some of the fossil marsupials recently
described by the Portuguese geolo-

beds of Patagonia. 1t is, therefore,
supposed to belong to a new family,
quite distinct from all marsupials
hitherto known.
