High Titles without Cost.

English folk are copying the Ameri-
can custom Of comforting titles upon
their children in baptism by using such
names as. Lord, Earl, Baron, etc. This
will mean more to the English child
than it has to the American.
One parent in the mid1ands bestowed
on his progeny military as we'll as social
rank. One of his children is christened
Baron, another Captain, another Colonel
and another Major General. London
Truth has this statement from one who
knows this titled family, and they are
to be found at the present time in the
neighborhood Of Birmingham. At this
rate every Tommy Atkins in the next
generation may be field marshal.

WAGES IN CHINA.

In Spite OF Their Lowness the Celesttals
Wax Fat.
How Chinese workman manages to
support his family and remain sleek and
fat on the wages he receives is an ever
lasting mystery to the European and
American. The Chinese are people of
marvellous economy. They will support
a family, furnishing food, clothes. shell
ter, from small garden which they
call q farm, but which in America
would not more than furnish an Amer
lean family with early vegetables.
In cities the laboring men receive the
merest pittance. In Canton, where Ia
borers are better paid than in other parts
of China, skilled workmen live on these
wages: Shoemaker, 81 per month;
blacksmith. IS per month; fine ivory
carver, $12 per month; tailor, IS per
month; fine embroiderer, 81 per month;
designer, IS per month; silversmith, IS
per month. +
The Chinese are superstitious, and
the workmen support, in addition to
their temples and pagodas and priests,
which receive more in proportion than
the churches of Europe and America,
idol makers, geomancers, fortune tell
ers, physiognomists, soothsayers, astrol-
ogers and interpreters Of dreams, who
exist by thousands and coin all the mon
ey they want. Another thing which
makes money for certain class is the
Chinese custom Of burning great guam
titles Of Esprit money imitation
coins, which are supposed to be legal
tender for dead relatives. One city
alone employs 100, 900 people in making
this cash for ghosts. 81
Peculiar superstitions embarrass the
workman. For instance, carpenters and
builders have to exercise great care in
selecting a ridgepole for . house. It
must have neither cracks nor knots, and
in it small hole must be made and
filled with gold leaf and the whole
beam painted red. This insures good
luck for the owner Of the house.
The tea trade employs thousands Of
persons. The laborers receive from 81
to $40 per month, according 10 their
| grade Of work. w. Chicago News

Energy From Volcanic Heat.

The energy stored in the coal beds
has rightly been referred back to the
sun, and it is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately attrib-
ute the heat developed at great depths
below the surface Of the earth. While
it is believed that no practical attempts
to utilize this subterranean heat have
yet been carried into effect, there ap-
pears to be no good reason why the at
tempt should not be made, especially in
volcanic regions, W here quite high tenn
peratures should be revealed at moder-
ate depths. 49, - -" :
In Colorado mining town an inter-
esting combination was recently OBJ
served which little ingenuity might
have converted into considerable
source Of power. Within 30 feet Of each
other were two springs, one Of q tenn.
perature of nearly 200 degrees F. and
the other not over go, the flow Of each
being very uniform and the temperature
quite constant. The theoretical efficiency
might readily be determined from the
we'll known law Of thermody namics, and
the use of one stream to- vaporize and
the other to condense some volatile
liquid, such as ammonia or bisulphide
of carbon, might enable fair percen-
tage Of the energy to be utilized which
is now running to waste. -Cassier's
