BITS FROM PARIS.

An international congress of eth
nclogy will be held at Paris in connec-
tion with the exposition from August
26 to September 1, 1900.
Among the sights of the Paris ex-
hibition will be the Horrors of War;
building which NJ. dc Bloch is fitting
up with pictures, models and other
means of exciting feeling against war
fare.
There will be over 1000 exhibitors
at the Paris exposition, and the United
States is in the first rank of the ex-
hibitors- The display will be strictly
representative, and will show in an
adequate manner the excellence of our
productions. In 1873 we had less than
seventh as many exhibitors.
a map of France in stone, which is
being prepared in Russia for the Paris
exhibition. is a wonderful example of
the lapidary's skill. It shows each de-
rartment in colored jasper, the sea is
represented by lapis lazuli, the rivers
by platinum and the log towns are
represented by precious stones. The
neigliEol ing countries of France are
shown in gray jasper, and ii islands
are represented in the same color as
the nearest mainland. The map is
mounted on a marble slab about three
feet Square, and it will be inclosed in a
silver frame.

FISHING OFF A MANOR WAR.
One Particularly = Exciting Catch
which Rpised a Row Among
the Jackies. y

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board man-of-war are wont to ply the
gentle art with line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening. A
sublieutenant, who was not particular
ly liked by his junior messmates, was
one day SO engaged, when midship-
man, seeing the line depending from
the chains" above, reached out of one
of the main deck ports and gave it a
couple of violent tugs, in imitation of a
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity, but of course with no result.
Once again the "sub" essayed to catch
this big, fish that had given him SO
heavy bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting companion to
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, he hauled up the lower
part of the fishing line and attached to
the hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
a holy stone and sardine tin. Having
carefully lowered these to the full ex-
tent of the line, he gave it a-more pow
erful pull than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above hauled in as fast as
he could, hand over hand. But his lam
guage when he discovered the nature of
his 'catch" is too much to ask even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
cold type.

tered. Ten years later there were 40
suits among 23,coo,oGo population. In
1881 there were 6lS out of &c. 1000, and

the husband and plead the best of all
causes. In England in 1897 only nine
suits arose during the first year after
marriage, but this number trebled the

Ever since saw-lnills have been
known in thus country the question of
disposing Of the saw dust has been a
serious one. For many years saw
mill men thought only Of finding
some inexpensive and easy methods
of getting rid of the big saw dust
piles, which grew n sizes so rapidly
around their mills, aud never dream
cd of realizing a profit from this
refuse. Recently, according to Con
sui Hughes Of Coburg. a new indus
try has sprung up in Austria, and
briquettes made of sawdust impreg
mated with tarry substances, are now
manufactured at a cast of 16 c,nts
per thousand and sold for about 81
per thousand. One factory turned
out 100000 last year, a press being
used which makes nineteen per
minute, each brIquette weighing
about two-fifths of a pound and
measuring 6x2 1x2 ! inches. As
respects heating power the new fuel
has the same value as Ignite and
leaves but + per cent of ash. In
making the briquettes the mixture of
sawdust and tar is passed by means
of a screw cOnveyer over an iron
plate heated by steam to press,
which ompresses the material to the
required shape aud size.-Times
