WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
Great Sum of Foreign Securities Held in
 England and Ftance.

0feaG sum or Foreign Securities Held in
 England and Ffance.
 The reported valuation of all proper ty in the United States by the census of 1890 was s65, ,037, ,091, ,197, or s1 ,O36 per capita for the entire population. This enumeration, however, dealt with prop erty in the United States and did not go into the question where it is owned. If the estimate of MT. Robert Giffen is correct that s5,OOO, 100000 in foreign capital was invested in this country in 1880, probably an even larger amount is so invested at the present time. De duction should also be made for the high value put upon waste public lands in the census, with the net re- suit that the, per capita valuation of the United States would be reduced to about s950, or s4,75O for family of five. Estimates made by careful econ omists, who come pretty near agree ment among themselves, put the valua- tion of Great Britain about nine years ago at $50, 900, GOO, ,000 and that of France at $40, ,000, ,0OO,00O. This, says the United States Investor, would afford a per capita valuation of s1,33S for Great Britain and s1,0S1 for France, making the valuation for family of five 6,690 in Great Britain and 5,405 in France. The figures of France are placed some what higher by some authors, and the total in both countries includes careful estimates of the large holdings of for eign securities, some of them covering property located in the United States
 The great holdings of foreign securi- ties, estimated to amount in Great Brit ain to about sS,0OO, 100000, explain to a large extent the adverse bal ance of foreign trade constantly shown by the British statistics. Great Britain would long ago have been denuded of her gold and become bankrupt if the excess of imports over exports shown by her trade statistics were a true measure of her financial condition. The fact that about S40O, ,OO0,0 1000 is due her annually in interest charges upon British capital placed abroad ex- plains how she can afford to import several hundred million pounds sterling of foreign merch andise in excess of the domestic merchandise which she ex- ports. France is estimated to hold S4,- OOO,OOO.OOO of foreign securities, largely Italian and Spanish, and she also has been able to show large balance of imports of merchandise over exports during the last two decades, while pill ing up in the vaults of the Bank of France and distributing through her monetary circulation larger mass of coin than any other commercial coun- try.

Bumps oa the Earth.

The alarming theories propounded by scientists make one sit up at first glance. For example, M. de Lapparent read paper before the scientific con- gress at Paris the other day in which he labored to prove that the mountains ofsthe earth are decreasing in size, and that they will ultimately vanish alto gether The tremendous friction of the atmosphere is wearing them away. The Alps, he said, exemplifed the youth, the Pyrenees the maturity, the mountains of Provence the declining years and the central plateau of France the death and dissolution of mountain ranges. But don't worry. Four or five hundred thousand years must slip by before the bumps on the earth's surface are raZed.

Angels Could Never Ely with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.

Angels Could Never Ely with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.
 Did you ever notice flying angel? l do not r-ean the animated article. but the winged and robed creatures you see occasionally in frescos and friezes.
 If so, you have doubtless marked the horizontal and unearthly position of the body.
 The hands are gracefully disposed along the sides, just as if flying were no particular effort, and the feet are trailed straight behind, though no man has ever found out just what holds them there.
 It has been so since the time of Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the New York World. Those old masters were probably among the first offenders against physical possibilities. They frescoed the wall and ceilings of an- cient cathedrals with ethereal beings with enormous wings sprouting from their shoulder blades and their feet trailing straight out behind.
 Since then every artistic Tom, Dick and Harry in the world has followed the impossible lines laid down by the old painters, and although science has been developed and human ideas have changed greatly since Athens was in its prime, the absurd form of the ideal an gel has not changed particle.
 Anybody can see at glance at the pictures that this position in flight is an impossibility. Possibly at speed of a mile second, and with the wings beat ing at the rate of one hundred thou sand times minute, the position might be maintained.
 The point of support is the shoulder blades The center of gravity is no- where, apparently.
 It may be possible that painters de- sire to represent an angel doing some thing that human being would find impossible to do. At any rate, they have done so.
 With the wings at the shoulder blades the center of gravity would ex- tend directly downward from the points of support. It is not very graceful, but it is true to science and the law of gray itation. It will be long time, howev- CT, before painters consent to paint angels in other than impossible posi- tions.
 Everybody remembers how reluctant artists were to accept the positions of running horses developed by the cam era. They were so absurd that it was with difficulty that the negatives could be believed
 In order to carry the body in hori- zontal position the wings of an angel should be placed in the small of the back and the vertebra stiffened with a board. Then, perhaps, there would be some sort of an agreement between art and physical possibility.

SOME POINTED QUESTIONS.
They Were Put to American Travellers by
 the Viceroy of China.

the Viceroy of China.
 When Mir. Allen and Mir. Sachtleben reached Tien Tsin, after their long bicy- cle ride from Constantinople across Asia, they had a protracted interview with the viceroy-Li Hung Chang-the man whom Gen. Grant included among the three greatest statesmen of his day. He asked the young American travellers multitude of questions about the countries they had ridden through, and at last came down to personalities. The following were few of his inquiries: ''About how much did the trip cost you?"
 Do you expect to get back all or more than you spent?"
 "Will you write book?"
 "Did you find any gold or silver de posits on your route?"
 "Do you like the Chinese diet?"
 How much did one meal cost you?" "How old are you?"
 "Are you married?"
 "What is the trade or profession of your parents?"
 ''Do they own much land?"
 Are you democrats or republicans? ''Will you run for any political office in America?"
 ''Do you expect ever to get into con- gress?"
 "Do you have to buy offices in Amer ica?"
 The young men hesitateda a little over this last question, and the viceroy was good enough to say that they would be- come so well known as the result of their long journey that they might get into office without paying for it. "You are both young," he added, land may hope for anything"

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of
 dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec-
 tric car line which is now in operation. The
 lots are in the city and their occupants do
 not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD-
 port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, ca sh

1t Was Private Bill Day.

The result OF the revolt against Speaker
Reed in the House yesterday was the nat
ural outcome OF an effort TO bulldoZe Rep

fore seemed 10 prevail among those in
control of the House deliberations that their
interests must first be served. after which
party welfare, national legislation, lobby
measures, and private bills We're to be
taken up in the order named. Mr.. Reed
naturally thought because his boom had
the biggest buzz it was entitled TO first
place and that the entire business OF the
House should be made subscryient TO his
aspirations. The Chairmen OF the several
committees were selected with this one alb
Sorhing idea in view, and Reed for Prcsi
dent had been included in every important
motion or measure thus far brought before
that body.

and astheseveral lconstituenciesrepre
in the House are really disintegrated polit-
icai sections Of the general public, they are
entitled TO consideration before either the
welfare or party or individual, or the
schemes OF lobbyists should be taken up.
According to the House rule one day in
each week isset apart for the consideration
OF the bills OF IL local nature, but even that
slight display OF justice has been denied
by Speaker Reed and his lieutenants.
While no one objects to any reasonable
effort of Sreakcr Reed to further his
Presidential aspirations he should not be
permitted to obstfuct public business or
prejudice public interests to secure the
nomination. The ma jorty OF the House
are evidently of this opinion, or his attempt
to violate the rule yesterday by ignoring
private hilday would not have been 10 ticcd.
But the House has now gone on record as
farorng the consideration OF the bills
OF its several constituencies, and il is not
likely that another effort will be made
to thwart its will, especially on measures
of so much local Importance TO members.

An Inexcusable Inju stice.

Investigation or the privilege of substan-
tialing their testimony Captain Watson and
Sergeant Perry were ordered reduced to
the ranks.
1t is said that the chief offense of
Secretary Smith was not SO much the hui
initiation OF depriving innocent men of
rank and increased pay, but in his out
rageous way of doing it. He called them
liars and charged them with having falsi-
fled the returns, and also said he preferred
toacceptt he statement ofhis colored messen-
ger rather than their sworn affidavits, and
after driving them from his presence with
this vehement and abusive language, the
two diSgraced employees returned TO their
work
The fact that Rose Butler was frequently
absent from her duty at the Pension build
ing can be easily established. but it is not
believed that Secretary Smith has become
so reduced in circumstances that it is
necessary for him TO detail government
employees TO do his household work, there
fore IL is evident that she was away for
another purpose. II is further stated, by
good authority, that the two disgraced Of
ficers are men OF integrity, whose word is
beyond question, and whose social stand
ing is above reproach. Both are well
liked by their fellow employees, and neither
had reason to make a false charge against
the char-woman. For This reason it is TO be
regretted that Secretary Smith did not look
into The matter more thoroughly before act
ing 50 harshIy. In any event the preponder-
ance ofcvidence was in favor of the Officers
of The watch, and in justice to them they
should either have been acquitted or given
further opportunity to substantiate thei1
statements.
