Letters from Besieeed Parislans.

From the Seine, neal Villeneuve, not
far from Paris, has been taken a Curl
Gus reminder of the days of the Paris
siege. 1t is a zinc ball, which con-
tanned over 300 letters, written In De-
cember, 1870, when the German coil
was tightening about the French cap
ital. At that time, besides the balloons
and carrier pigeons as means of COM
munication with the outside world, the
people of Paris inclosed letters in small
zinc globes, sealed the receptacles her
metically and dropped them into the
Seine. The friendly waters drifted the
globes down until they reached the
French lines below. After a while the
Germans learned of this %expedient, and
placed nets in the river above the
nets of the Frenchmen and captured
the globes. A little while ago a fisher
man near Villeneuve found one OF
these globes, and with a sharp knife
opened it and extracted the letters.
The old letters still legible. were sent
to the postofice, and such of the ad-
dresses as can be found will receive
the missives twenty-eight years over.

THE x-RAYs AND LONGEVITY.
German Doctor Says You Can Find Out

German Doctor Says You Can Find Out
How Long You Will Live.
The other day a German doctor, M.
Richter, sent a communication to the
Imperial college of medicine of Ber-
lin, which has made quite a stir in
Germany. He AYERS that by a thor
ough study of the organs by "a of
X-rays one may determine pretty ex-
actly the length of life Of a human
being. It was known for a long time
that the size of the heart, the lungs,
the digestive organs and the brain
might be considered among thu best
conditions of longevity; but M. Richter
goes still further. He holds that there
exists a close correlation between the
length of life and the dimensions. of
the different organs, and it is upon this
supposed correlation that he bases a
system supported by numerous obser-
vations and statistics. Richter admits
himself that there are individual ex-
ceptions." Without those exceptions
his discovery might be considered n
of the most terrible plaques that ever
threatened humanity. The idea Of
changing the entire world into M
immense troop of people condemned to
death, and knowing the precise hour
when they would quit this world could
only originate in the brain of a Ger
man. Notwithstanding this. M. Rich

"She starts; she moves; she seems to
feel
The thrill of life along her keel.
And then, with one exultant bound,
She leaps into the oceans arms"

sci of the good, old-fashioned kind, or
a modern battleship, the process is no
different, and old ocean receives her as
he always has, with the same spark
ling hospitality.
The launching of a ship is one of the
most impressive of sights, and par
ticularly is this true If the vessel be
a grim war-dog for the navy. When
the Wisconsin was launched, Nov. rs,
1885,. at San Francisco, thousands OF
people thronged the shipyard and the
territory adjoining for a glimpse of the
spectacle. 1t was a gala day in the
history of the city, and the whole COM
munity was out en- fete to participate
in the festal occasion. High above the
pigmy crowd the vessel lowered, al
most as Bunker Hill monument towers
above the buildings which surround It.
Near her bow stood the reviewing
stand, with it's load of notables, among
them, the observed of all observers, she
with the bottle of champagne with
which the vessel was to be christened.
Far down beneath the keelson of the
vessel stout hammers began to knock
and beams gave out the sound which
signifed their capitulation before the
fierce onslaught of the enemy. Stead
lily rained the blows, till all at once,
with a creak and a lurch, which settled
into a gliding motion, the great vessel
started down the way, her cutwater
glistening with champagne from the
broken bottle.
Il christen thee Wisconsin," said a
sweet voice, as the vessel swept away
from its birthplace, and found rest on
the bosom of old ocean amid a throng
of fussy, inquisitive little tugboats
which thrust their impertinent noses

OUR IMMIGRANTS.

Scientific classification Of Those Who
Are Coming to This Country.
The first step in statistical tabnla-
ton is classification, and classification
invariably starts from an assumption
of real or supposed resemblance. Not
to dwell on such fundamental distiec-
lions as those of color, race and ma
tionality, we encounter the more ype-
cial resemblances of agreement in re-
ligious belief, agreement in industrial
preference, agreement in political con-
viction Gas shown in election returns),
similar susceptibility to emotiona]ism,
similar capacities for rational compre-
hension, similar imperfections of ma
ture. which result in lives of crime or
pauperism. Remove from social statis-
tics this p%ostulate that blood kinship
or mental resemblance between one So
cial unit and another Is the basis Of
social phenomena, and the statistics
themselves would cease to exist. Stat
istics reveal also the consciousness
which men have of their resemblances
and their differences. It is statistically
known that the geographical distribu-
ton of n%ationalities is not accidental
or capricious. Immigrant Italians, Ger
mans and Scandinavians find their way
to those parts of the country where
men of their own blood and speech are
already established. Intermarriages OF
men and women of different %nationali-
ties are statistically known to be fire.
quent where no differences of religion
exist, and %infrequent where different
nationalities profess different faiths.
The statistics of political elections are
quite as much statistics of the con-
seriousness of kind as of differences of
mental type itself. The most signifi-
can't fact of all, however, has still to
be named. 1t is this: From the first
known beginnings of statistical re-
search to the present time every extern
sion of statistical inquiry has been In
a large measure due to the conscious
ness of kind. The first statistical sur
veys of communities of which we have
| any record were such tribal enumera-
lions as those recorded in the book OF
Numbers, the avowed object Of which
was to ascertain the strength and re-
| sources of the various tribes by clans,
/ lesser gentle groups, and households
not more for unitarian reasons than
for the. qualification of gentle and
! tribal pride.-In Appleton's Popular

produo,r. Of New Books,

According to recent writer, Great
Britain produces fewer than a third
Of the number of new books published
by Germany, not more than half of the
new books produced by France. and
considerably under the total produced
by Italy. The numbers given are: Ger
many, $4,000 new books per year;
France, 5000; Italy, $500; Great Brit
ain, 1900; United States, $500; Neither
lands, $500. If. however, Great Britain
is thus low in the general production
of new books, she leads in the produce
ton of novels, heading the list with
2,43s. Germany leads in educational
works, with SAP; arts and sciences,
with 1888; bellies l%ettres, with 2,453,
and travel, with 1.139; while Italy
leads in political economy, with 1884.
