German PIpea.

The town OF Ruhla In Thurlngia is
noted as being the locality where the
largest proportion Of German pipes are
manufactured. and these are exported,
It may be said. to all parts Of the world.
The German papers give some remark
able data as to this industry, as car
ried on at the Ruhla works. showing
that for some years past the annual
production Of bowls. independently Of
stems or handles, amounts to $4,000
meerschaums and nearly 6,600.000 Of
imitation meerschaums; the total Of
wooden bowls produced is not tar short
of 5000. 900. while the average number
Of that popular variety, the china pipe,
attains the prodigious number of be-
tween 10000. 900 and 13.000. 900. of these
about $500, 900 being of common porce-
lain and the remainder of fiue ware.
But in addition to these there are also
produced some 100000 of pipes made
of other materials than those enumer-
ated above. The same manufacturers
are engaged in turning out annually
100000 of pipe stems of different
kinds, also millions Of accessories, "
such as flexible stems, chains. shoppers,
etc.

Tho Dingo.. Of Australia.

The dingo is the WIND dog Of Austria.
liza. II Is strong. fierce. ugly. elum.
sy looking creature. which can run
very quickly and which can hardly be
tanned. The dingoes often combine
into packs. for the purpose OF hunting.
and by helping each other this way
they can often seize and kill even such
very swift runners M the emu. The
emu ls n curious bird that can outstrip
the quickest greyhound. but by d.
yiding themselves into groups, the din
goes can tire II out, and then they all
feast on Its big body. The chase often
lasts n whole day. and both hunters
and hunted may travel thirty or forty
miles. Some years ago the dingoes
used to do great damage to sheep and
other live stock belonging to the set
tiers. but they are now reduced In
numbers. and do not appear to be so
fierce and wild as they once were. But
they have nearly hunted the poor emu
out of existence.
