Had Facts FOR Bnchelors.

Some curious figures have lately
been made public by celebrated
Berlin physician which seem to
point to the fact that If a man wants
to live long and preserve his health
and strength no ought to marry.
Among unmarried men between the
ages Of 80 and as the death rate is
~ per cent. Among married men
between the same ages it is only 18
per cent. For Al bachelors who live
to be 40 years Of age 78 married
men triumphantly arrive at the
same period. The difference gets
all the more marked as time goes
on. At 90 years of age there are
only % bachelors to 4S married
mem. at 20 there are II bachelors
to % who are married, and by the
time they reach 90 the married men
are three to one. for there are nine
Of them to every three bachelors.

The Power OF Cannon.


La Nature contains short note in
which the horsepower Of a cannon
is calculated. An Italian cannon of
100 toms, with a change Of $50 pounds
Of powder and a shot weighing
about Q. 600 pounds. will give an in
itial velocity OF 523 meters per sec
on6. The length of time during
which the power acts ia lesse than
one-hundredth of q second, from
which Il follows that the horsepower
developed is about II, 600, 600. The
writer adds that after about 100
shots the cannon is put out Of serv-
ice, and it's total active life is there
fore only one second. In large
modern cannon the Horsepower runs
as high as 24,O00,0 900. IF the writer
had csrried out these calculations
still further. he would have found
that, after all, this $4,000, 600 horse
power does not represent a large
amount OF energy, as it would be
just sufii icient to run 81 incandescent
Tampa for only one day.

Tho Views That Greet Traveller on the
River Havel.
Imagine a broad fiat bottomed
ut;a laa i11 ioct long win house upon
it! In the bow is good sized saloon
or sitting room, with ten windows
FIVE on each side-and door, half
glass, leading to an awning shaded
deck. From the saloon one looks
down corridor, so long and so mar
row that one almost expects to SEQ
ninepins at the far end. The cabins
are on each side. In the stern are
pantry and tiny kitchen. One
cabin is devoted to clothes, hanging
ON hooks and lying folded on the
unused berths; i'll another is large
bathtub, utilized only as a place in
which to store wine and soda water
bottles The clear river water on
all sides is so entic;ng to bathers
that tubs are not wanted.
The river Havel is full Of lovely
surprises. 1t widens out into quiet
lakes fringed with rushes, whero
water birds chirp and whistle, build
their nests and rear their young.
The shore is thickly wooded with
alders, white birches, lines and
towering fir trees, whose somber
crowns even the sunlight can scarce
ly brighten, though it reddens their
slender boles till at sunset they
gleam like copper The aoacias are
in3ull bloom at this season. Their
pure white blossoms hang high out
of reach and fling such a wealth Of
fragrance on the air that one thinks
of the lemon and orange groves of
the south. Flat, sandy Brandenburg
has no lovelier spot than the coun-
try surrounding Potsdam. The
neighborhood is full of palaces
Babelsbe-g. beloved by the old en-
peror; the marble palace, where
William II lived as crown prince;
Sans Souci, on which Frederick the
Great lavished Sc much care and
treasure; the new palace, which the
same Frederick built to prove that
the Seven Years war had not ex-
hausted his resources; the house on
the Pfauen i.iael (Peacock island),
which Queen Louise loved, and Gle
nicke, now Inhabited by Prince Leo
pold, the cousin Of the emperor,
who married the emperor's sister.
Near all these interesting dwell
ings, on n lakelike expanse in the
midst Of the charming balsamy
woods, floats the anchored boat
house, swinging in the breeze, until
to the inhabitants it seems as if she
had left. her moorings and had start
ed on a voyage Of exploration. The
quiet is broken only by the singing
of birds, and the persistent croak of
the frogs which hide in the rushes.-
