Tho city Of Venice is built on 80
islets, which are connected by nearly
400 bridges Canals serve for streets in
Venice, and boats, called gondolas, for
carriages. The bridges are, as n rule,

In China firecrackers can be purchas
ed at cost Of 90 cents fer 10, 600, al
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This is but little more than
the actual cost Of manufacture. The
straw paper used is of the cheapest
grade. The powder is also of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably ac-
counts for so many "sizzers" in every
pack
Most of the firecrackers are made by
women and children at their homes, and
rapid workers are able TO earn from 5
60 cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents while a novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
