GETTING ABOUT PARIS
The Street Cars and omnlbuses of the
 City and the Rates of Fnres.

Cliy and the Rates of Fares.
 The means of passenger transit in Paris is something that will interest a great many people the coming year, in view of the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- city, steam, compressed air and horse power. There are three tramWay lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and om- nlbuses are generally used throughout the city, One of the aforementioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie Generale des Omnibus, and the other two are practically controlled by the same company; so that it can be said to have monopoly of the entire pas senger transit, exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is a stock company, or ganized in 1855, having obtained from the city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another in the city of Paris. The concession expires on the Stst of May, 1910. The omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn by two or three horses, respectively The smaller model is arranged for 28 to 80 places (14 outside, ii lnside and two on the pIatform). The larger model affords accommodations for 20 on top and 20 inside, including four on platform. The fare on the top is 15 eentimes (near 3 eents); inside and on platform, 30 centimes (near1y eents). The payment of the last-mentioned faro anti+ioo +bo porropoa, 70 n aaor. respondenee" or transfer ticket to an. other connecting or interseeting line. No passengers are taken on when the places are filled, either at station or en route. At the starting points num- bered tickets are handed to the pas- sengers, and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- cedence is given to those holding the first numbers. The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncalled on the previous vehicle The same system prevails at the fxee stations en route for vacant places. No standing in the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: B lines of omnibuses (25 to 30 places), 50,030,- Q34; II lines of omnibuses GAO places), 79.349 ,631; 3 lines of steam tramways, 12,862, ,e90; 23 lines of horse tramways S7092 ,926: lines of compressed air and electricity, 10,7o5, $40; total, 240,- 040,291. The distances traversed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to little over four miles.

Inc world's Coal Supply.

COG, ,000. and the other European na- tions make up, in a few million tons each the rest. Spain contributes 20.- 900, 900 to the sum total, which amount is not sufficient for even home con- sumption. China, though rich in nat ural deposits, mines but little of her coal because of her use of primitive methods. It is prophesied that the in- troduction of British mechanical appli- ances in Chinese fields will send Up her coal supply at least 25 per cent.

DIAMONDS OF VARIOUS HUEs.
Most of Them Are colorless, But some

Are Red and Black.
 Although thousands of men and women in Chicago wear diamonds, at least on occasions if not constantly, few know much about the precious gems they value so highly While the largest number. of diamonds are white, clear, colorless, transparent stone is rarer than might be supposed. There are also red, blue, green, yellow, brown, black and pink ones. Heat often changes the color and after awhile the acquired hue becomes per- manent. Yellow diamonds perhaps af- ford the greatest variety of shades. Some of them surpass any other gem Of that color. Specimens of canary eolefed diamonds are quite common Ii the gem has a rose-colored tint it Is very valuable, while red tints, sur 1assing the ruby, and considered the most beautiful of all precious gems, are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record. One weighing ten carats Waa bought by Emperor Paul of Rus- sla for S100,000. A cinnamon, or brown, S'o'>S A9 uAuSSlidDIS, as It IS seldom pure A black diamond is nearly as scarce as red one Blue diamonds lank next to red ones in variety and beauty. Those of g. dark blue color, resembling sapphires, are handsome gems, differing only from the sapphires in quality and the beautiful play of eolors peculiar to the diamond. The only real blue stones are found in the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds, there are only two others in the world that are prop erly called blue diamonds. The green varieties are not as rare as the blue, black, red and rose-colored species, yet grass-green or fine emerald color is scarce. When it does occur 1t Is more brilliant than the finest emerald, There are several varieties of green tinted diamonds at the museum of nat ural history in Paris, but the best known specimen is at Dresden and is considered one of the five paragons of the world among gems.-Chicago Chronicle.

 FIRST POTATOES.
Tometoes and Chincon Trees Were Raised
 in Peru.


 Lima Cor. Chicago Record: Peru is the birthplace of the potato, which was first used as an article of food by the Incas and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over quinina bark and named 1t In honor of the countess of Ghincon, whose husband at that time was vleeroy. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal pur- poses as long as any one could renem. Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test it's efficacy, and 1t proved so excellent a cure for the ma- laria which saturates the atmosphere of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the medt- cos of the old world These wise old chaps sent it to Spain and Italy, and t is said that one of the first doses of quinine that was ever administered in Europe was swallowed 'by the pope. The unregenerate potato, which is still found in wild state among the moun- tains of Peru, is a delicate vine, which bears a fruit about the size of plum and as yellow as an orange. Cult1va- tion has increased it's size and im- proved it's flavor. The scientists say that the tomato also originated in Pern, and was known among the 1ncas as a love apple. possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery the same superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother Of cotton, but think Egypt will dispute that fact

Peor,s Manual Of Railroads.


10 roview Of that valuable publican

the year 1900, the Baltimore Sun says
that II maintains the high standard Of
excellence of previous years. Besides
the customary compilation,of the stats,

United States, Canada and Mexico,
there is an exhaustive account OF the
street railways OF the United States

directory of railway officials. This l,562
pages that constitute the Manual pre-
sent nearly every item of interest to
the investor and practical business
man. besides supplying the student
with material for profitable study and
Inference. The twenty-four maps add
largely to its value. Special interest
attaches to log pages given to the
Study in Railway Statistios," which
serves as an introduction to the
book. Persons concerned with the rail
way problem will find much in this
discussion to attract their attention.
Among other things it is shown that
the average rate of interest paid in
1899 was 4.24, against 4.T6 in 1882;
that dividends have declined from 2. 90
per cent to 80 per cent; that average
freight rate per ton per mile has fallen
from l.236 cents to 0.726 cents; that
tho average passenger rate has fallen
from 2. 447 cents to 2.002 cents; that
net earnings per mile were 80, 400 In
1899, agninst 5000 in 1882, and that
the percentage of EXPENSES to earnings
