oopenhagen's War Against Rats.

So great a nuisance have the rats recently become in Copenhagen that efforts are being made to exterminate them. In order to encourage the new occupation of rat hunting for profit and pleasure combined, premium of 10 ore per rat is being paid for every one of the rodents produced whole but dead. For the past three weeks war against the rats has been waged. In the first week 6,094 were officially re- corded as killed; the number grew to 6,616 in the second week, and for the last week it had swelled to 6,780. It is hoped to reach weeks mortality among the rats of 10000 in two or three weeks unless the supply becomes exhausted in the meantime. It is pro- posed to extend the rat-catching op- eration to the whole country. The crusade has become of national in- terest

An Interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment is about to be made by the government of Bos- nia and Herzegovina in connection with the subject of the migration of birds. A number of observatories are to ba established throughout both countries on the coasts, plains, mountains, riv- CTS, lakes and at all points which seem likely to yield results of interest to those engaged in researches on bird migration Under the auspices Of the government of both countries a meet ing of ornithologists has been convened to take place at Sarajevo during the current month, and proposal will be made to other governments to insti- ute similar plans of observation, the intention being to unite them all in common and unifernl systeTn-
 Tine 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. Imni- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining 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 in- crease in the ten years of only 24.S per cent. H. T. Newcomb. statistician of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of "A, ,480 ,o00, which would be an increase over 1896 Of less than 19 per cent.

Wedding Houses,

Tn olden times certain towns and villages in England used to possess wedding house, where poor couples, after they had been welded at church, could entertain their friends at small cost, the only outlay being the pur- chase of such provisions for their guests as they brought with them, the house for the day being given free of payment.

 Skating on Water.
 According to Prof. ]. Joly of Trinity College, Dublin, a skater really glides about on narrow film of water. con- tinually forming under the skate, and resuming the solid form when relieved of pressure. He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of the skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which Is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to liquefy a thin line of ice, and this gives the skate it's ebite.' When the ice is very cold, the pressure Is sometimes inadequate to reduce the melting point sufficient ly, and then, as all skaters know, 1t is difficult to make the skate bite. For very cold ice Prof. Joly recommends hollow ground" skates, because the effective pressure increases with tho tbinness of the edge.

cURFEW IS UPHELD.
One Town Which Finds the Evening
 Bell a Success

Elmira is trying Che virtue of cur few ordinance. It's express purpose is to keep out of the streets the c.aildren who have been permitted to frequent them in the evening without restraint heretofore, says the Elmira Advertiser. 1t takes effect at 9 o'clock in the sum- mer and at 8 o'clock during the win ter. The effect of the rule has been watched with interest, and no one can doubt that the new rule will be as faithfully enforced hereaftev as it has been during the first week. Only one arrest has been made, but that was sufficient to show the intention of tho police department to enforce the ordi- nance in fair and reasonable man. ner According to all the testimony at hand it aceomplishes the purpose for which it was passed. Children, and young girls in particular, are no long CT seen promenading the streets in groups or singly, and the gain for or der is plainly noticeable. There is a disposition shown in the press of other cities to poke fun at the course pur- sued here, but our citizens care nothing sor that They are trying honestly an experiment from which much good is hoped, and their expectations have met no d.sappointments up to today. Instead of laughing at our village similarly afflicted communities would do well to adopt tho same course of treatment for what Is everywhere ac- knowledged to be a serious evil If large numbers of the young can be kept out of temptation and from evil courses by so simple device, it is far wiser to try it than to jeer at it. It is not laughing matter at all, but one of grave moment 10 the welfare of nearly all large towns. Our experi ment is worthy of general imitation. for 1t IS a great success In it's begin hing.

 Cigarettes.
 Taking the population of Great Brit. ain and Ireland at s, 8,000,000, trade journal assumes that 10 per cent, are cigarette smokers, and that they con- sume on an average five a day all the year round This would give total of nearly 1000, GOO. The tobacco contained in this number Of cigarettes would weigh over $500 tons, and if it were slowed in carts, each carrying a ton, and the carts marshaled in a llHe Wlln lWeHly i6et TOT 6ach horse and vehicle, a procession would be formed over thirty-fve miles long, the total length of 1000, ,00e.oo0 of them would be upward of 331 600 miles, or more than enough to circle the globe nearly fourteen times. It would make a line from here to the moon, and nearly half the way back again.

Yield of Gold in the Transvaai.

The latest published returns show ing the yield of gold in the Transvaal are said in London to be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial ly interested in the Rand. The entire Transvaal yield in June was 467,2n ounces. or 819 ounces better than in the preceding month, the latter return be- Ing the previous best on record. So far this year each monthly return since February has been over 100000 ounces better than the corresponding yield in 1893. In fact, up to date, the 1889 yield is some 625,00o ounces above the showing f the corresponding period in 1s99s Here are the total yields of the Transvaal since 1894, when the records showed 2,024, 159 ounces: In 1895, 2.2T7, ,635 ounces; 1896, 2,2S0, ,S85 ounces; 1897, 3,034, ,474 ounces, and 1898, 4,555,- 0o0 ounces. London finaneiers do not deem 1t possible that this extraerdin- ary showing can be maintained throughout tke year, owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu- larly. to the fact that the exodus of labor from the Rand seems to be as- suming serious proportions

FoREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIoNs.

c. Schumacher & Co say that the decline In ster-
ling exchange while II lasted, was undoubtedly due
to Overwhelmingly large receipts Of cotton bills
The reaction came when IL became evident that the
rush OF cotton TO market was about over and
the supply of exchange from that source must di-
minsh for time. "On the other hand, some new
gold engagements abroad for shipment to this
country did much toward bringing about the recov-
cry So did also a moderate investment demand
for sixty days bank and bankers bills. Just how
the investors figure out profit in this opera
ton is hard 10 see. but this investment demand
actually exists in spite of 4d41a per cent money
market here against ga per cent in London.
Grain shipments have been on a fairly liberal
scale this week and engagements for late delivery
from until next spring have also been quite
large. Between cereals and cotton without count
ing provisions, petroleum. metals. minerals and
manufactured articles OF every description there
is altogether enough exchange in sight 10 warrant
the expectation OF a season OF low exchange bar
