The Westminster Gazette reports that the final volume of the British Mu- scum catalogue of birds has just been completed. This undertaking, by far the most important of it's kind ever at- tempted was begun quarter of cen tury ago. The catalogue professes to be complete list of every bird known at the time of publication. It contains an account of 11,614 species of this class of vertebrates, divided into 2,255 genera and 124 families. The number of speci- mems referred to in the work cannot fall far short of 100000. about 350,OOO of which are to be found in the cabinets of the British Museum. The catalogue, which is illustrated by innumerabie woodcuts, consists altogether of twen- ty-seven bulky volumes, and for eleven of these Dr. Bowdlar Sharp himself is entirely responsible.

One of New York's fire ingines has been provided with rubber-tired wheels and the first trip with it's new equip ment was altogether successful. The machine rolled along almost as smooth ly as a bicycle, and the horses showed that they appreciated the difference in their favor in the amount of muscle re- quired. Fire department officials were greatly pleased with the result of the experiment, and 1t is said to be only question of time when all the apparatus in the city will run on rubber tires. When the change is accomplished, 1t is expected that the cost of repairs will be reduced one-halt.

Diyersificaton of crops is doing much for the farmers of North Carolina, ac- cording to the testimony of the Char lotte Observer. The cotton crop has not been decreased and is not likely to be- while cotton mills are multiplying in the State, but it is ceasing to be the farmers main reliance in many of the counties. He is turning his attention more largely to the cereals, grasses, and live stock-his idea being to make enough of all products for his own con- sumption and with some to sell, and to pocket his cotton money as so much clear gain, instead of paying off mort eages with it, as formerly. He has learned, too, that the profit per acre from many other crops is much larger than that from cotton. His conclusions in this particular are supported by q report recently made by the State Lab or Commissioner, showing the average profit per acre of seventeen of the p:in- cipaI crops grown in the State. based on returns from all the counties. The figures are: Cotton, s5.92; wheat, si.97; corn, S3.53; tobacco, S20.s7; sweet pota- toes, s29.56; Irish potatoes S2S.S7; pea nuts, ,s23.23: sorghum, S19.S5; hay, S14sS; rice. s122 25; beans, s9.S0; barley, SEGA; peas, s5.67; broom corn, $3.6O; fax, SS.15; rye, s2.sS; oats s2.51.

In Cincinnati Catholic churches have been forbidden to allow the singing of certain masses because they too closely resemble operatic music, or, to use the words of one of the leading priests Of the city, are 'too stagey."

The Czar has just sanctioned the establishment of an agricultural col ony at Djenan-Abad, in the govern nent of Bessarabia. This is the first of fcial departure from the law forbidding the residence of Jews in villages. The movement is due to Baron Horance Gunsburg, who has granted 1850 acres on his estate to be set apart as settle ment for Jewish agriculturlst3.

An interesting investigation las
been made recently in one of our cities
as to the reasons why children OF
equally good capacity should rank Sc
unevenly in their studies in the
schools. Pains were taken to learn
from one class of fifty-fve pupils
enough about their habits out OF schoo,
to enable judgments to be made. The
investigation showed that thirteen
boys were permitted to be on tbs
streets at night as late as half-past
nine o'clock. Not one Of them ranked
as high as thirtieth in the class. An
other Grade class of fifty-fve was tried
in the same manner; eight boys were
habitually on the streets il the Cven-
ings. Not one of them ranked as
high as fortieth in the class. Anothe.
class Of thirty-five investigated show
ed that six were allowed the freedom
OF the streets at night, and every one
OF them had spent two or three years
passing the fourth and fifth grades
One boy OF fifteen years of age had
spent nine years in getting four ami a
half years OF schooling. lnvestis ION
also showed that in these class,s ex-
amined, eighty-five per cent OF the
girls remain at home and read good
books, and about one-third only CT the
boys ever read at all.

that marvellous electrical instrument
with which Mr.. Tesla was able to
transmit messages without wire or 9TH

the same result was achieved by 9TH

The vicissitudes of artistic lie are
given vivid and pathetic illustration
in the impending separation Of
the stage careers of Sir Henry
Irving and Miss Ellen Terry.
These two artists have been SO long as
sociated in modern stage productions
that the theater-going public of two
continents has come 10 consider the
successes Of one the success Of both.
We now hear disquieting rumors OF the
detection Of Irving's public from the
former master and idol and in his loos-
ening grip there arises the opportunity
for a successful rival to WOO the gifted
Terry from her allegiance of life
time. With the parting of Irving and
Terry we will receive fresh demon
stration of the fickleness of Dame For
tunes favors. Not even the heights Of
Parnassus are secure from the corrod-
Ding touch of a waning popularity.
