OCTOBER MAGAZINES.
The Engineering Magazine

for October opens with a strong paper
dealing with the subject of "A Rational
Basis for AngloAmerican Cooperation
1.-THE Industrial Interests of the United
States in the Far East are carefully con-
sidered by Wharton Barker. jacques
Boyer interestingly describes 1.-THE Latest
improvements in the French Lighthouse
System" One of the leading contribu-
lions to this number is 1.-The Working of
Railways in Military Operations" by w.
L. Derr. This article points out that this
is branch of study strangely neglected
by army officers. Several equally instruc-
tive papers, together with the usual de-
partments, complete a strong number.
The American Kitchen Magazine.
The current number of the American
Kitchen Magazine contains a long list of
interesting and helpful articles, among
which are noted the following: Home
life in India" Cooking and What Can
Be Done With It," Household Fuels
and Their Economic Uses" Good Teeth

for October" Mrs. Lincoln's department,
as usual furnishes many timely receipts

The Atlantic Monthly.
In the opening article in the October
Atlantic, Carl Schurz discusses 1.-The
Anglo American Friendship" and draws
many interesting conclusions. An article
bearing upon the same subject is con-
tributed by A. V. Dicey, under the cap
ton, England and America" The Sec
ond installment of 1.-The Unpublished
Letters of Carlyle is given and shows
this great writer in new light. Mark

On the assumption that Howard
Gould has forfeited $5,000,0O0 because
an unproven matter as yet-a statisti-
cal genius has dashed off the following
computations: Mrs. Gould's weight is
about ,140 pounds avoirdupois. This
equals 170,139 pounds troy. A troy
pound of gold is worth $24S, 064. Mrs.
Goulds weight in gold is $42,2 0536. She
is, therefore worth over 1SS times her
weight in gold on a basis of $1,000, 600.

Some very interesting figures and

Portland Advertiser: THE town is
without water supply and is absolutely
without means of fighting fire" This
is the old, old story of Maine villages,
told the other day of Clinton and now
repeated of Readfield. 1t is penny
wise, pound foolish policy that many
of the country towns pursue in neg
lecting to provide their thicllly settled
places with protection against fire. 1t
may work well for years, but sooner or
later there comes a time when fire
breaks out and in a few hours destroys
more wealth than reservoirs and en-
gines would have cost, many times
over. Providing these things is like
carrying revolver in Texas. You may
not need it often. but when you do
need it you need it badly.

In regard to the much debated ques-
ton whether our seasons are changing
and the climate of Maine becoming
more temperate, the Bangor CONNER
cial quotes from book on American
Husbandry,' published in London in
1875, which says 1.-The northern coasts
of Maine and Sagadahock are under
the fatal influence of that freezing eli
mate, which is bad enough in the south
parts of New England. but here APP
proaches to the severity of Nova
Scotia, though not so much involved'in
fogs.' and further recalls the fact that
even twenty-five years ago farmers
thought the time might come when ap-
pies could be grown in Aroostook, and
now there are large orchards in North
ern ArooStook. the owners of which
ship large quantities of splendid Fa-
meuse apples to the Boston market.
Corn is not generally grown there, but
once it was only grown on the highest
hills of central and southern Maine as
the valleys and plains We're so liable
to early and late frosts it could not
mature.

How MANY colonels-captainS-ha ever

The war revenue measure has given
such satisfaction that it is not likely
that any serious effort will be made by
the Democrats this winter to have it
repealed. 1t is true the, actual hos
tiiities are over. but the expenses re-
lating to the war continue, and must
do so for some time, for very obvious
reasons. The expense of administra-
ton in the new territory, the cost Of
maintaining the soldiers in these pos
sessions and of providing for an in
crease in the standing army, which
must be enlarged, and other OUTLAWS,
must be met. The revenue bill has met
the expectation Of the trainers. The
slight friction and iriregularity that
naturally attends the working Of a law
passed away, and the income to the
government is now collected easily and
safely. 1t will probably be some time
before revenue amounting to much can
be collected from the new territory
What will be gathered can be better
applied to improving the cities and
setting the people in the country on
their feet again. Experience has
shown that the law can be modified to
advantage. but the need of revenue is
such that it cannot be wholly repealed.

conclusion from the beginning of hos
tilities, yet Spain acquiesces with
cheerful alacrity in the evacuation OF
Porto Rico, an island which, COM
paratively speaking, was not FESTIVE
under the Spanish yoke, while she dis
plays reluctance and eXtemporizes de-
lays in withdrawing her troops from
Cuba. Two motives may be assigned
for her tardy REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba,
the desire to collect the customs duties
for as long period as possible and the
inclination to evade the stipulations of
the protocol. The United States is
standing firm. however, on the speedy
evacuation of both islands, and SPANS
"manana'' policy will be checkmated
despite her consummate capacity for
intrigue and procrastination.
