 HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens k
 Virtually Unmarked.


 From the London Mail: The sugges. ton has been made that monument to Charles Dickens should be erected In one of the public places of this city. It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly 1t might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickens. from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes: T conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial, whatever. I rest my claims to the re- membrance of my country upon my published works and to the remem- brance of my friends upon their ex- perienee of me in addition thereto" To this wish the members of the fami- 1y have always given the strongest adherence and have already diseoun- tenaneed and will continue to discour- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell a gifted American seulp- tor. completed in marble a fulI-leEgtb portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who, out of respect to the wishes of the novelist refused to eonntenance the movement, the offer was declined In these cir cumstances it is hardly probable that any memorial, at least of public char aeter, will be attempted.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Much Sickness Prevented by It's Sub
 stitution for Gas.

stltution for Gas.
 There are no stronger advocates for electric lighting in houses than medical men, who say that an immense amount of sickness has been saved since the electric light took the place of gas in modern houses. There can be no doubt that in the matter of maintaining the purity of air during incandescence, electricity stands without a rival Air IS composed of four parts of nitrogen combined with one part of oxygen The nitrogen, in sense, modifies the too active powers of oxygen, which, if undiluted, would make every one in- haling 1t so excessively energetic that the human framework would speedily be racked to pieces. When combus- tion takes place oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide Ca poisonous gas) is given off. The act of breathing pro- duces similar effect, and thus resem- b1es the burning of lamp or candle. Air containing as little as per cent of carbon dioxide is difficult to breathe in, and when it is considered that a medium gas burner produces as much of this gas as eight or nine men (about six feet per hour) it naturally follows that air in room so lighted soon be- comes dangerous. Besides carbon di- oxide, there are other impurities in gas, such as sulphurous acid, ammonia, sHlphuretted hydrogen, etc, which vary in quantity according to the purity of the gas. Each has it's own deleterious effect on the air and surroundings, ana most of them cause flame to be less luminous. With an electric incandes- cent lamp there is nc combustion. The filament merely becomes incandescent by reason of its resistance to the pas sage of the current, which is compelled to exert q certain amount of energy in travelling through it. This energy is given back by the filament In the form of light, but the whole being hermetic- ally sealed in vacuo, there is 10 ex- halation from the process of incan- descence, and the outside air remains unvitiated by it.

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES
Frauds in the Construction of the si-
 berian Railway.


 berian Railway.
 It is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tutelage of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would have been apt pupils. They certainly have a trick or two that would put their American compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works have been executed in a man. her that shows very little conscience. Everything, or nearly everything, will have to be done over again before the authorities can think of throwing open this gigantic line to regular working. In very many places the road gives way on the passage of train little heavier than usual or travelling at a speed of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage Is demanded of any one undertaking a journey on this rail way. This construction Ia Russo has already swallowed up hundreds of mill lions of rubles, or, to speak more truthfully, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how it will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are, moreover, closely controlled by the local censors, publish the following statements: For several months the navvy contractors have not been paid in cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de- clared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at S1a per cent. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and i'll consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as intermedia- ries between the government engineers l and the contractors. It was only when one of these engineers, Prince A. 1 who had made a fortune, undertook l to be personally responsible to the banks that they resumed the functions of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly. seeing that he claims little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing l to the clause inserted in all the con- l tracts to the effect that disputes be- Sween the engineers and the contract 1 DTS of the line have to be settled i'll | St. Petersburg. To lodge complaint 6,O00 miles from the spot where the l circumstances have occurred is at least inconvenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu- nate navyies themselves can be imag- ined from the treatment of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very irregularly and always with deduc- tions. Badly fed and badly lodged. il is not surprising if they give only hall heart to the work
 I As an extra precaution every cooking school should be run in connection with an eating school.

The Coming United States Census.


 It is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade. Immi- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is daclining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of the next decade was enormous. and yet the Porter census for 1890 showed an ia crease in the ten years of only 24.8 per cent H. T. Newcomb, a statistician of the agricultural department. estimates for next year a population of n. .480 900, which would be an increase over 1890 Of less than 19 per cent.
