The Number of Breadwinuers.

In 1870, says Carroll ID. Wright in the
September Atlantic, there were IL, 800, 923
persons engaged in supporting themselves
and the remainder Of the people-that Is
to say, 82. 43 per cent Of the total popula-
ton were so engaged. In 1880 the number
of breadwinners was 1899, 099, or 34.67
per cent of the total population. In 1890
this number had risen to 90, 735, 66l, or
80. 81 per cent of the total population. BY
breadwinners is meant all who were en-
gagged either as wage earners, or salary re-
delivers, or proprietors, of whatever grade
or description, and all professional persons
lin fact, every one who was In any way
employed in any gainful pursuit. The fig
ures quoted show that the proportion OF
the total population thus employed Is con-
stantly increasing. Analysing the statis-
tics, we find some remarkable results, and
In general that the number engaged In the
lowest walks of business, laborers and the
like, is decreasing In proportion, while
those employed In the higher walks are
increasing In number relatively to the
whole population.

Nearer to Perfection.

The immense amount of study and time
applied by Ambrose Swasey to the con-
struction of an engine of perfect precision
for graduating the Circles" of a telescope
has been rewarded, Casters Magazine as
serts, by the production of a dividing en-
CINE unsurpassed for accurate measure
ments. This, considering the difficulties
involved in he case of such engines, Is sci
entihcally noteworthy. Thus, as one-third
of an inch subtends an angle of one seq
ond of arc at distance of one mile, IL Is
manifest how minute must be the meas
urements on the periphery of IA circle, say,
of feet diameter, and, as there are 1896,
600 seconds of arc in IA circle, and as all
seconds must theoretically have the same
value, the difficulties of dividing circle
in which the errors shall be less than a
second of arc are obvious. Homogeneity OF
material, proportionate parts that VIII
equally respond to slight changes of tenn
perature and various other factors enter
into this difficult problem, aside from the
final corrections of the dividing mechan-
ism. Every approach to perfection, there
fore, be 1t never attained absolutely, brings
greater assurance to the astronomer of the
accuracy of his measurements.

SALVAGE MONEY.
Large Sums Earned by Assisting Disabled
Vessels Into Port.

Large Sums Earned by Assisting Disabled
Vessels Into Port.
Owing TO the high salvage money OBJ
tanned by rendering assistance to a dis
abled ship at sea, many steamers and sail
ing vessels carry on an irregular sort of
''wrecking business by always being on
the alert for stranded ships. A tramp
steamer that could bring great transat
lantic liner into port In disabled condi-
ton would realize more money than its
owner would make in trip across the sea
with a full cargo AS an illustration OF
what salvage money is paid for towing
steamers into port, mention can be made
of few conspicuous cases. In 1882 the
City of Richmond was towed into Halifax
harbor and cost her owners $1,000 (e7,-
000) in salvage money. In the same win
ter the City of Boston broke her shaft mt
sea, and her owners were compelled 10 pay
bill, for towing and other aid, of $40, 500
(99, 300). When the Atlantic liner Paris
broke down of the Irish coast in 1890, she
was towed into port at an expense of $780,
600 (e6,000).
So rich are these prizes that the coast
wrecking companies frequently send pow
erful tugs to sea just after storm In
search of disabled vessels. If "a steamer Is
several days overdue, the tugs may go
hundreds of miles off the coast, and In this
sense the companies extend their labors
into new fields, practicing wrecking upon
the high seas.
When the fast Atlantic liner New York
made her first voyage from the port OF
New York, she ran aground off Sandy
Hook, and the owners had to pay nearly
500, 900 (420, 00O) to float her again. One
of the Red ID line steamers stuck on the
Brigantine shoals off New Jersey in 1889,
and the wrecking company that pulled
her off received $40, 900 (RS, 000) for their
services. The more recent work OF float
ing the American line steamer ST. Paul
from the sand off Long Branch recalls the
difficulty of hauling one of the great
transatlantic liners off sand bar or mud
6at Both the Chapman and Merritt
wrecking companies of New York com
bined to float her, and the salvage money,
amounting to about 100000 GEO, OOO),
was divided among them.-George Il.
