LOSSES ON SILVER.

The recent and continued fall in the
price OF silver has invited attention
to the losses the government has sus-
talned on account of the silver pur-
chases made during the years Begin
ming in 1878 and ending with the re-
peal OF the silver purchase law in 1893.
The figures OF the total loss are quot
ed at S221, 5SS, SIS. AS the balance
now stands the total amount of silver
bought by the government was 459. 946-
1ol ounces, costing S464, PIC, 1862. The
average price paid le. ounce for
the silver was S1.O093. The price of
bar silver in New York is 52a cents
per ounce, thus reducing the present
commercial value of the metal bought
by the United States to S242, 622. OS4. SO.
The difference between this present
value and the amount paid for the
silver presents what would be the loss
to the government if all the silver
purchased should be sold at the price
OF silver today. There still remain in
the treasury more than 112, 900, 900 un-
coined ounces of silver, purchased un-
der the act of 1890, at a cost of SlO4.-
PSI, O76.25 the loss on this bullion
alone, on the basis Of the present
| price, is nearly $50. ZOO. 600.

Worth Saving.

The people of Belgium evidently be-
1ieve in training their children in hab-
its Of economy. Possibly no better
method of convincing the young folks
of the wisdom of looking after small
things could have been found than that
<resorted to in the public schools of
Brussels. The Outlook gives the result
of the experiment.:
Some time ago the children were re-
quested by their teachers to gather up
all the waste and apparently useless ar
ticles that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them
to their respective teachers.
For eight months the work of collec-
tion went on. Such objects as tin foil,
tin cans, paint tubes, bottle capsules
and refuse metal were especially looked
latter. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five
pounds Of tin foil rewarded the chill
.sdren's efforts, together with 1900
pounds of metal scraps, 4, 400 pounds Of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes that
i'm the aggregate weighed 920 pounds.
But it was when the articles were
disposed Of and the money applied to
snseful objects that the full force Of this
seconomy was manifest The proceeds
eacompletely clothed 500 poor children
land sent 90 invalid children to re-
cooperation colonies, and there was q
;sgoodly balance left to be distributed
among the sick poor Of the city.

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST

So. by Customs Law, This Steamship Pas
senger Was Not Passenger.
A passenger on one of the transatlantic
steamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line of people who
were making their declarations before
the customs officer and told his name.
Cant take your declaration, I" the
officer said after examining the passen-
ger list. 81 don't see your name there. :"
tBut ! got my ticket on Friday
night" the passenger responded. "and
the time was too short to have allowed
of my name being put on the list
"That makes. no difference" an
swered the inspector. "Unless your
name is on the list you are not pas
senger, and cannot take your declara-
tion. Nobody not on the list can be re-
garded as a passenger. /"
The New Yorker said few things,
thought good many more and dropped
out of the line. Then he went in search
of the captain The captain came up
and wrote the passengers name on the
inspector list and the declaration was
duly taken. After this formality had
= 49,
Deen finished the passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
his declaration in the first place. To
this question he added the remark that
son number of trips to Europe he had
left at such short notice that his name
had not got on the passenger list, but
he had never had any such experience
with the English inspector.
81 don't know anything about that, !"
the official replied, ''but the rule in
the United States is that unless mans
name is on the passenger list he is not
officially regarded as a passenger and
we cannot recognize him as such until
his name appears there. You were all
right as soon as the captain wrote your
name, but until then you had no stand
ing as passenger. New York Sun.

Broke the Spell.

Up to the time of Cleveland IS election
it was popular superstition with poll
ticians that no candidate whose name
began with the letter G could be elected
to the presidency. The idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, mo- matter
how strong he was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls There
were two Clintons. George and Dewitt,
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and number Of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with defeat when
it came to the test. Several Of the C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance, were strong candidates several
times, but never could make the
rifle. Pittsburg Dispatch.

There is another direction in which
the airship would be seriously defective,
and this is almost always overlooked,
and that is in the matter of making
landings. Being large body, it would
necessarily be unwieldy, and it's motion
in any direction could not be arrested in
very short space of time; therefore it
could not make landing within a linn
tied area. In dead calm it could proba-
bly, be lowered in nearly vertical line
and thus make landing in contract
ed space, but if the wind were blowing
even at a. moderate velocity the case
would be different AS the wind is al
ways blowing more or less, and as it fire.
guently changes its course in few Sec
onds. the ship would be tossed about
quite lively before it reached the ground.
If it came down at the rate Of 800 feet
per minute, which is high velocity,
and the wind were blowing at the rate
of ten miles per hour, the side drift
would be three times as great as the
vertical descent, and if this were coun-
teracted by imparting velocity to the
ship equal to that Of the wind and OPP
posed to it the side drift would be
doubled if the direction Of the wind
should suddenly reverse. 1t must there
fore be evident that to be able to make
landing safely, without running the
risk of colliding with church steeples
and modern .skyscrapers. it would be
necessary to have large open space. -

Monthly.

A NOVEL Bridge at Rouen.

This novel engiaeering work is called
a s.pont traasDordeur" and is designed
to fulfill all the purposes of a bridge,
while it will offer no obstruction to the
passage Of ships with towering masts.
On each side of the river will be erected
a small Eiffel tower. about ITO feet in
height, and these towers will be joined
at the top by a latticework bridge upon
which lines of rails will be laid. On
these rails will run skeleton platform,
which can be pulled from side to side
by the agency of steam or electricity.
From this platform, which will be 100
feet above the quays, will depend steel
wire ropes, which will support at the
level of the river banks a slung carriage
large enough to accommodate tram car
full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
It is intended that this novel form of
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river,
SO that passengers can be carried across
the river without leaving their seats in
the cars. The work of building the tow
ers has already been commenced, and it
is expected that the bridge will be open
for traffic in is months time. 1t issaid
that the only contrivance bearing any
resemblance to this ''pont transbor-
deur" is in operation at Bilbao. Cham
