M. Eide has recently compared the
figures for the motive power used at
the different expositions which have
been held in Paris. In 1867 the total
horse power was S54. furnished by fif-
ty-two engines averaging 16 horse
power each; in 1878 the total was
1888 horsepower, given by forty-one

The figure for 1889 is $500 horse-pow-
err; only thirty-two engines were used,

1900 the total power of the engines
and dynamos used to supply the ener-
gy is S6,0S5 horsepower, supplied by
thirty-seven machines, giving a mean
of 975 horsepower. The French sec

also unearthed collection of letters
and biographies. deciphered the in
scriptions OF many newly discovered
tombstones and monuments, and es-
pied, finally, best Of all, 5000 Official
documents of inestimable value to the
student Of ancient history. The net
result of our journey consists so far
,of $4,000 stone writings"
