CONTINENTAL NEwsPAPERs.

From an article in the November num-
Der of the Pail Mall Magazine:
The person who would wish to learn
something about the chief newspapers OF
foreign countries must first grasp the fact
that they are in two or three most i'm
portant points very different from the
great English journals with which he is
familiar. In the first place they very sell
dom make any striking pretense of being
''up-to-date' ws-purveyors for the pub
lie, in the sense that we understand that
term in relation to the British and Amer
lean Press. In fact they give some few
items of fresh news here and there in
their pages, but 1t is in most cases a very
desultory kind of rechauffe.
Secondly, newspapers on the Continent
are seldom or never sold so widely on the
STREETS to every passer by as ours are;
they are nearly all subscribed for by adj
vance payments, and then are delivered
by hand or post at the houses of the var
ious subscribers as they are issued. It
Is true that in Paris. Berlin, and one or
two other lthge towns, one can buy a pa
per at the kiosks which are in many parts
of the city, but this system is nothing
like so universal as our news agents
shops
Again, the Continental papers. almost
without exception. devote large part of
their space to a short story. or continue
ton Of serial one. daily: and they have.
comparatively speaking. much more space
given up to advertisements than our pa
pers have
Lastly. there are few papers OF Europe
outside Of our own country which exer-
else any important effect on the public
opiniontrega rding political events. such as
is exercised every day by the great Lon
don and New York journals. Though
foreign papers pretend to be Liberal or
as the case may be- the
meaning Of these terms to them Is quite
different from what II IS TO us. Roughly
speaking, they may be taken to be OF two
classes. either supporters Of the Govern
ment or opposed to It; few pretend to
be of no politics at all.

Whitney Mockridge, the leading concert

supported by q select company including
Jeanette Lands Weakley, contralto,
Ralph Dunbar, cello, and Mrs. Whitney
Mockridge, pianiste, and the entertain
ment given win be Of the highest order
Of merit 1t is seldom that the public

probation of the enterprise displayed by
the local management in securing an at
traction Of this kind.

JOSHUA sIMPKINs. /"

The sensational rural comedy drama
Joshua Simpkins' will be produced at
the Crawford theatre Saturday next,
matinee and night The play contains an
interesting and ineligible plot, but it is
not allowed to interfere with the fun,
which is said to be in abundance. During
the run of the play some startling scenes
and situations are seen, principal Of
which may be said to be the country saw
mill, in the third act, shown in complete
operation cutting up real timber. The
saw used is the genuine article same as
used in large country saw-mills. Two ex-
cellent bands and a fine orchestra accom-
pany this attraction. The bands will pa
rade at noon, when some good music
may be looked for, one of them being
dressed up as countrymen.

Uniformity and fxfty have been the
striking feature OF Chinese dress for CEN
turtles. The same may be said of their
habits. John Thomson, in his recent hook
Through China with a Camera noted
that their oshuses everywhere preserve
one uniform level" the monotonous ap-
pearance produced by them being broken
only at rare intervals by a tall temple or
lofty pawnshop. The interior OF these
houses is as uniformH as the exterior.
Another investigator whose attention was
ATTRACTED by this remarkable popularity
concluded, after diligent inquiry. that the
meagre furnishing and the extreme plain
ness which marked nearly all the inter
iors he saw were due to a national trait.
and were not enforced by poverty nor
lack Of things with which to make the
home beautiful. This opinion is borne
out by the personal observations OF the
writer, who has found the houses or ap-
artments Of the more prosperous Chinese
merchants of San Francisco plain 20 Sc

employ Chinese as domestics that they

TO do so.
This latter trait is significant. When
we are told that in a great Chinese city
like Canton most OF the workshops are
kitchen, dining-room and bedroom too
and that in these the workmen break
fast on their benches, and az night stretch
themselves out on them TO sieep." We
may readily suppose that the density q

FRACTIONS OF A SECOND.
Wonderful Apparatus for Measuring
Time Invented by
Berliner.

Herr +. l.. Lobner, of Berlin, who has
gained a European reputation by The
invention Of an apparatus for mcasur-
ing time 20 the one-hundredth part OF
second, has again excelled himself,
and has now perfected a mechanism for
measuring and recording the one-thou-
sandth part OF second, says Inven-
tion This wonderful machine consists
OF a clock mounted on a movable ear
rage and with dial plate three me-
tiers in diameter. AZ the edge Of the
latter are two concentric rings, the
outer one marked with 800 degrees and
the inner one divided into 200 parts,
The clockwork moves the single hand
al such n rate that il can make five com
plete turns In a second, thus enabling
the one-thousandth part OF n second TO
be read on the inner ring. AS. how
ever, the instrument would be ruined
by stopping the hand suddenly, and as
moreover. the eye could not follow the
pointer, Photographic apparatus Is
used to record the exact time. Twelve
open cameras are arranged in circle
behind a revolving disk two meters in
diameter. which is provided with
hole for admitting light TO the plates
as it passes before them. The disk re-
wolves at the rate of twenty times in
one second, so that light Is admitted
into the 10 plates one after the other in
the space of one-twentieth OF a second.
The pictures thereby obtained show the
position Of the hands on The dial and
the object which is being observed.
The apparatus will be useful in measur-
ing the rate OF speed OF flying bullets,
OF falling objects, etc. II is possible
