PLENTY OF CHALK.
Great Block That Was Once as Large ~
the Continent of Eurone.

the Continent of Europe.
The small piece Of chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroom, the lec-
ture room, the billiard room and the
workshop has a strange history, the un-
raveling of which through all its COM
plexities is one Of the most difficult
problems with which the science of the
present day is called upon to deal. This
piece is in reality a chip of an immense
block Of chalk that once filled al area
the size Of the continent of Europe, and
of which even vet several gigantic frag-
ments remain, each hundreds Of square
miles i'll extent. These patches are scat
tered over the region lying between Ire
land on the west and China on the east
aud extend in the other direction from
Sweden in the north to Portugal in the
south.
IN the British Isles the chalk is found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast of England. A
sheet Of chalk more than 1000 feet in
thickness underlies all that portion Of
England which is situated to the south
east of a line crossing the island dag
Onally from the North sea at Flambor-
ough Head to the coast Oh the English
channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet
of chalk is tilted up slightly on the
west, and its depressed eastern portions
that dip toward the waters Of the North
sea are usually buried from sight by
means Of everything sands and clays.
Where the edges of the chalk floor come
upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik-
ingly grand and beautiful. Any one
who has once seen the magnificent rocks
Of Marlborough and Beechy Head, the
jagged stacks Of the Needles or the dir
~ mass of S~hakespeare's cliff, neal Do
yer, can understand why "the whits
cliffs of Albion has grown into a stool
phrase.
This massive sheet Of chalk appears
again in France, in many other parts OF
Europe as far east as the Crimea, and
even in central Asia beyond the sea O:
Aral. How far it stretched westward
into what is now the Atlantic may new
er be known, but chalk cliffs Of at least
200 feet in thickness are seen at An.
trim, in Ireland, and less conspicuous
formations are found in Scotland, il
Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be lit.
tie question that all these O isolated
patches We're once connected in a con.
tinuous sheet, which must, therefore,
have occupied a superficial area about
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broad,
an extent larger than that of the pres
ent continent Of Europe. - Pittsburs

Making Soups FROM rrul..

Fruit soups are made from sweetened
and thickened fruit juices and can be
made from currants, oranges, cranber-
ries and a mixture of currants and rasp-
berries. Press sufficient fruit to make
pint of juice. Moisten a tablespoon
full Of arrowroot in a little cold water,
add to it gradually a pint of boiling
water and add sugar according to the ma
ture of the fruit used. Let this PURGE
stand a moment, then take from the
fire and add the fruit juice. At serving
time fill a punch bowl half full of crack
ed ice, pour in the fruit soup, and it is
ready to serve. These fruit soups are
usually served at the beginning Of a
company luncheon. Mrs. s. T. Rorer

lnterdependency of Inventions.

The advent of important and valuable
inventions is often dependent, not upon
the brilliant inspiration of some indi-
vidual inventor, but upon the general
and gradual advance of the state of the
art to which they belong. making their
occurrence not only possible, but almost
inevitable. The bicycle is all excellent
example Of this kind of growth in me-
chanical construction, since, while it
is one Of the most important things,
both mechanically and commercially,
which has ever been produced, it owes
Its development to the parallel i'm
provements in metal and rubber work
ing, without which it could never have
existed at all, in the modern sense, Or
to any extent.
The clumsy wooden ve%locipede would
always have remained a useless toy had
not the Introduction OF drawn steel
tubing made the construction Of a light
and yet strong frame possible, while
the original leather tire of Dunlop could
never have led to the practical applica-
ton Of the pneumatic principle with
out the substitution of the rubber con-
struction which only the advances in
rubber manufacture made possible.
This IS but one instance of what is APP
parent in many other lines Of work, and
there is little doubt that if the patent
records Of the past so years were thor
oughly studied by competent specialists
many inventions which at the time of
.heir conception were failures simply
because Of the impossibility of executing
the ideas would now be found both
practicable and valuable. -Cassier's
Magazine.

the main influence at present is the
exceptional demand for reconstruc-
tion of the Austrian monetary system
and for Japan.
Securities have not fluctuated much,
nor have foreign operations materially
affected the market, as Americans
have been neglected in London. But
the demand for bonds has been con-
slant, though smaller than it was some
time ago. Railways are making quite
fair reports, when abnormal causes of
disturbance are considered, earnings
in April being only 10 per cent. less
than last year, and 6.5 per cent. less
than in 1892, and in east-bound ton
mage from Chicago the decrease is
smaller than is usual about the time
navigation opens. The stock market
has relapsed into slumber, and with
light trading has declined a small frac-
ton for both railroad securities and
trust stocks.

HUNDREDS KILLED AT PARIS.

Hundreds of lives were lost and as
many more persons injured in fire
which destroyed a charitable bazar in
Paris Tuesday afternoon. From 1900
to 1900 were in the place at the time
and a terrible panic ensued. The
bazar was mostly patronized by the
arlstocracy and the fire broke out
over stall IS, occupied by the Du-
chess Dues, one of the most promi-
nent society women in France. One
hundred corpses have been found and
it is believed that twice that number
lost their lives. Miss Elsie BushDeck
OF Philadelphia, was one vino escaped,
but it is thought that many from the
United States are among the unfortu-
mates.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

W
In spite of moderate improvement
in most of the great industries, bust
ness is Disappointing Expectations
of speedy end of war in Europe
through Turkish victory have helped
to depress grain. Demands of Austria
and China have caused exports of
Sc, 100000 gold, merchandise imports
are greatly increased, and final action
of Congress on the revenue question
seems more remote. Floods at the
West continue, and the new tariff
proposed for Canada is thought likely
to affect trade with that country to
some extent. Business in this city
was suspended a day, but the cere-
mony In honor of President Grant
brought hither such a multitude that
local trade has been remarkably large.
The country is just now unusually free
from important labor troubles, but
there are strikes in some cities in the
building trades, and others of magni-
tude are threatened in iron mines ard
manufacture.
Wheat rose last Saturday nearly
Cts, but has fallen since that day
about S cts. This is largely because
European markets did not sustain the
expectation of great foreign demand
after the outbreak ofwar, and because
events appeared to foreshadow speedy
peace, but the tidings from wheat
growing States, the receipts from
farms, and the enormous exports OF
corn, all had influence. Corn exports
have been 13,a5o,I97 bushels in four
weeks against 4,496,67o last year,
while Atlantic exports Of wheat in the
same weeks, -four included, have been
only 4,23I,34S bushels, against 4,3o7,-
aI5 last year. Nor is this surprising,
for If in use two bushels of corn only
equal one bushel wheat, the two
bushels corn would cost about 60 cts.
and the one bushel wheat nearly 50
cts. Western receipts have been re-
duced, perhaps in part by floods and
interruption of traffic. The cotton
market has advanced a quarter of a
cent, owing mainly to a speculative
impulse from England, but the delay
IN abatement of floods and their con-
tinued destructiveness afford an ap-
parent reason.
The exports or gold would not have
much influence if there were not an
extraordinary increase in merchandise
imports and some decrease in exports
from New York, large for the last
week and S per cent. for April. I'm
ports have increased about 60 per
cent. over last year for the week, and
for four weeks have been 80 per cent.
greater in dry goods alone $4,S6o,-
900, while the imports of wool have
been $3,749,439 here, and in sugar
and tobacco imports are also large.
AT Boston imports of wool have been
extraordinary, and at Philadelphia
they have amounted for the month to
$I,27S,ooo. The thought that this
abnormal increase may continue as
long as action on the revenue bill is
deferred tends to affect exchange, but
