whu .rim onIt Riding.

He had in his time been as hard road rider as the state and county boasted of, but the time came when he betook himself to matrimony, and henceforth the road and he were stran- gers. Asked why this was, his wife in confidence told a visitor, and she in turn told a friend, and so on down the line until it reached the club in this shape: "Yes, Jim doesn't ride bicycle any more, because, you see, bicycling units man for the work of wheeling a baby carriage. The handle-bars on the carriage do not suit him. They are so high that he cannot crook his back enough, and he misses the bell to warn other baby carriages from the sidewalk" And poor Jim hasn't been to the club since the story got there. Just think what nice time he's going to have when they spring it on him !-The Wheel.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some s1.- S75,00o, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over s1,- 0O0,000, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of Camberwell amassed over $500,000, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personality to Sir W. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1S90 leaving $1, ,720,- ll0 behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for long series of years had been excellently invested
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is a large falling off in the amount, $1 034, 465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735, 900, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quain's, about $585,000.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were we'll under the S500,000 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,00O or $20,o00 a year is big income for a profss5ional man. but Nat one time Sir Wihap Gull's professional fees most eertaiAly averaged $1,00O a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clarks talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over Sl,5OO fer every six working days. There gre prizes in the(medical pro- fessicn without a doubt.

Strange Animal on Devils Island.

Devils island, made famous as the prison of Dreyfus, has a strange spe- eies of animal found nowhere else on earth. This odd animal has been called the eoati, and is peculiar eombina- tion of mammiferous, carnivorous plantigrade. It is about the size of a cat when full grown, with long head shaped like a pyramid, tremendous nose, making it the Cyrano of anil mals. The jaws are long, like those Of young alligator, and it uses it's fore paws to carry it's food to its mouth, as monkeys and squirrels do Henri Loustan, the superintendent of the penitentiary at Guiana, has sent a specimen to the Museum of Natural History at Paris, where it is attracting considerable attention.

Irish kieselehur.

At a recent meeting of the Dublin Royal society paper was read by MT. Pollok on some large deposits of kieselghur which occur on the banks of the Bann, at the point where it emerges from Lough Neagh. Kiesel- ghur is used now for several industrial purposes, and although the deposit in question is apparently not suitable for making dynamite, yet it is of excep- tional purity and if found in quantity should soon find a market It is stated to be in the highest degree probable that the whole bottom of the Lougn Neagh is covered with similar deposit of diatomous earth, which, as is we'll known, is formed of the silieous re- mains of low forms of aquatic plants. Under the microscope the Bann de- posit is found to consist of little cubic box-shaped diatoms. Chron- iele.

SILVER AND GOLD PRODUCTION

Tho increase in the worlds product OF
10Th sold and silver is one OF the most
,nterestine studies Of the time. II was
e,rrposed that because Of the low price
OF silver there would be decrease from
wear TO year in the quantity Of silver
mined but. on the contrary, the Fnan-
cisl Chronicle says that the output -
constantly increasing. that ia 1879
amounted 20 100000 ounces. compared
with 1Ss 100000 ounces i'm 1891, l6'wo'o"
ounces in 1896 and 100000 ounces In
1855 The production of gold has in
creased even more. the yearly output
having doubled within i've years. 1t Is
now TWO and half times as great as II
was ten years ago and nearly three times
as great as 1t was thirteen years ago.
Moreover it is believed that by reason Of
new discoveries and improved processes
IN mining gold. the output Of the yellow
metal will be larger in future years than
II has been In any year that is past.
We are confronted. therefore, with
these interesting facts, that there IS
pront In the mining OF silver at present
nrices. that the worlds supply OF silver
and gold Is growing larger each year
and yet CT airman Jones insists that the
mints OF this country shall be opened
10 the free coinage of both silver and
gold. that we shall coin as much Of these
two metals as the world may offer. that
We shall put the dollars which are thus
coined upon the same footing. that the
a0.00o.0o0 ounces of silver mined last year
at cost OF about sixty cents an ounce
shall be coined into dollars on the basis
of N.29 an ounce, and that each silver
dollar shall bc received IN payment OF
debts and for other dues upon an equal
footing with the gold dollar That Is the
issue upon which Mr.. Jones says the
battle OF 1890 will DO fought
