IMMIGRATION.

The number of immigrants arriving
in the United States during the fiscal
year was 343, 267, of whom $40, 46S were
permitted to land. and 2,799 were de-
barred on various grounds prescribed
by law and returned to the countries
whence they came at the expense of
the steamship companies by which they
we're brought in.
The increase in immigration over the
preceding year amounted to 81, 1871 1t
is reported that with some exceptions
the immigrants of the past year were
of hardy laboring class, accustomed
and able to earn a support for them
selves. and il is estimated that the
money brought with them amounted
to $4,000 GOO, though ii was probably
much in excess of that sum, since
only those having less than $50 are re-
quired TO disclose the exact amount
and it is known that many brought
considerable sums OF money to buy
land and build homes. Including all
the immigrants arriving who were over
IA years of age, 2S.63 Der cent were
illiterate. as against 20.37 per cent of
those of that age arriving during the
preceding fiscal -year. The number of
immigrants arriving over IA years old,
the countries from which they came
and the percentage of illiterates among
them were as follows: Italy, 57,515,
with 54.59 per cent; ireland, 81, 1876, with

The cost of collecting our internal

brandies, was SS,5sS.703 taxable gal

was also an increase of ], AS, $40 gallons

Ball Bearing Tires.

From the Providence Telegram.
Ball bearings on bicycles are TO he fol-
lowed by ball tires, If the plan now being
tried by an inventor is successful The
idea is the latest in development of the
many improvements that have been sug-
gested on the pneumatic tire Some years
ago an Englishman brought out tire
which had the interior filed with hollow
rubber balls, but the plan did not work
well. The new plan Is TO, place the balls
outside the rim, so that they will take the
place of tubing.
The new tire is an arrangement of in
dependent detachable hollow rubber balls
held in position by a channeled aluminium
rim. The balls when inflated will stand a
pressure of twenty-five pounds to the
square inch. The outer surface touches the
ground, and as the wheel revolVes three
of the balls are always in contact with
the surface and bear the weight of the
rider.
The great advantage of the ball tire"
says the inventor, lis that If one is pune
tured the buoyancy of the others will pre-
vent the tire collapsing. One-third of the
balls might be punctured without causing
bicyclist to end the trip, for the tire
would still be buoyant enough to support
his weight When necessary a used-up
ball may be taken out and a new one in
serted with but a few minutes loss Of
time"
