Tho Secret of ouotabiIltr.

OF the great men Scott is the least
quotable, Dickens the most, while
George Eliot is perhaps more quotahle
than either. Writers Of maxims and
moral sentences are, of course, in a
class apart; they have achieved only
failure unless they furnish tags that
can readily be used in discourse. And
among these it is noticeable that the
greatest men, Swift for instance, and
Pascal, have the least currency be-
cause they cannot divest themselves
of their individuality, they cannot
think sufficiently like every one else.
La Rochefoucauld is in this group
what Horace is among the poets, the
most commonplace and the most sue
cessful of them all. With the excep-

simply crystalizes to a diamond point

A note by II. Henri Coupin in the
Academic des Sciences deals with the
sensibility Of the higher plants to very
small quantities of toxic substances in
a state Of extreme dilution, and the re-
markable character of the work lies
in the almost infnitesimal quantity of
such substances needed to cause seri-
GUS disturbances in the health of the
plant organism. The most deadly sub
stance discovered by M. Coupin was
sulphate of copper, of which only
one seven-hundredth-m millionth of it's
weight in water was sufficient to react
upon plants disastrously. The fore
going amounts, poisonous as they are
to plants, are altogether too small to
be detected by chemical analysis; and
the research raises the important Ques-
ton as to whether or not the charac-
ter of the vegetation of a country is
largely Influenced by minute quanti-
ties of such substances contained in

A scientific paper calls attention to
the importance Of keeping the ground
on hillsldes covered with grass or
with trees. A slanting cultivated Geld
washes away rapidly, and thus rich
soil that is the very life of agriculture
Is carried to the rivers, and thence
to the ocean, where 1t is not needed. A
muddy river means, therefore, a real
loss to the people, a loss that might
be avoided. There is no doubt that
many rivers that are now muddy were
clear before civilization carried tillage
to the regions through which they run.
Observations on the Isle of Wight
have shown wonderful results as to
the distance that an earthquake sends
its impulse. The instruments, in Sep
tember last, detected tremblings on
five different days, and subsequent in
vestigation showed that on three Of the
days they originated in Alaska; on
the fourth day, in Asia Minor, and on
the fifth day, in Japan. On two other
days of the same month there was an
earthquake in India, but the Isle of
Wight instruments did not feel the inn
pulse, because, it is supposed, the
shocks were due to local landslips.
The sea has flowers as the land has,
but the most brilliant Of the sea flow
ers bloom not upon plants but upon
animals. The living corals of tropi-
cal seas present a display Of floral
beauty which in richness and vivid
ness of color and variety and grace
Of form rivals the splendor of a gar
den of flowers. The resemblance to
vegetal blossoms is so complete that
some persons find it difficult to believe
that the brilliant display contains no
element Of plant life, but is wholly
animal in its organization. Among
the sea animals which bloom as If
they were plants are included, besides
corals, the sea anemone and the sea
cucumber.

Some interesting facts concerning the
comparative number Of particles of
dust and bacteria in the air were COM
municated to the Royal Institution re-
Gently by DR.. Allan Macfadyen. Using
Aitken's dustcounter. he found in an
open suburb of London 10000 dust
particles in every cubic centimeter Of
air. while in the heart Of the great
town the number of particles, in the
same volume of air, was 100000. In
the open air of London there was, on
the average only one micrO-organism
to every 38,300,000 particles of dust,
and in the air of a room amongst 1884,
100000 dust particles only one organ
ism could be detected. These facts,
Doctor Macfadyen said, illustrate the
poverty of the air in heterogeneous
even when it is very dusty. Their
continued existence is rendered diff
cult through the influence of desicca-
tlOn and sunlight Drying up is one
Of natures favorite methods of getting
rid Of bacteria.

A. MILLION CHINESE.
Proposition to Colonize in Mexico by
San Francisco Capitalists.

San Francisco, Jan. 18.-The Call
says that back of a steamship company
recently organized in this city with
a capital stock of $12,500,000 is the plan
to colonize Mexico with oriental Ia
borers. The promoters of the scheme
it is asserted, have obtained from the
government of Mexico, a vast conces-
sion of fishing privileges and lands ad-
jacent to the fishing grounds. They
propose to bring million Chinese to
Mexico and establish fisheries, can
neries and warehouses all along the
Mexican coast.
A circular has been issued in the
Chinese Language stating that the
Pacific Charter Company proposes on
behalf of the Mexican government to
encourage Chinese as well as Euro
peans to come to Mexico, where they
will have special privileges"
The circular adds that "there is
plenty of room for a million Chinese
fishermen" and invites Chinese mer-
chants to subscribe to the capital stock
of the company, which 1t says has
made contract with China and the
Mexican government to admit free of
duty for fifty years all Chinese neces-
saries, such as tea, rice, etc.

CALIFORNIA VS.. FLORIDA.
Reduced Railroad Fares to Both Sections

Chicago.-Radical reductions in pas
senger rates between Chicago and Cal
ifornia points will go into effect over
the Santa Fe and the Southern racine
and the. latter's connections next
month. s The fares announced are the
lowest ever made from this city to Cal
ifornia.
The one-way rate from Chicago to
California during March and April Will
be $50. From ST. Louis. Memphis
and New Orleans the fare will be- $27.5O
and from all Missouri River points 1t
will be $25.
The lowest second-class rate from
Chicago to California now is $52.5O,
the cut meaning a reduction OF $zz.oU,
or S45 in the round trip charge.
Tickets at the cut rate will be sold
every Tuesday during February, March
and April, the first selling date being
February 12 Tickets will be honored
for passage via the Santa Fe and AL
buquerque, the Southern Pacific via Ell
Paso and Deming and via all lines
from Chicago connecting with the
Southern Pacific at Ogden.
Just now there is a lively fight on

resort business. While the Florida
roads have done good business since

service, the California lines say 1t has
not hurt the travel over the latter. j.

Little Known TObaccos.

Among the little known tobaccos OF
the world are those Of Manchuria and
Mount Lebanon. Manchuria tobacco Is
said te be highly priced throughout
China, while the local consumption is
enormous. Travellers say that the IN
habitants of Manchuria, both men and
women, begin to smoke from the age OF
8 or 8, and continue the practice to the
end Of their lives.
The tobacco of Mount Lebanon is
that which finds most favor among de-
vout Arabs. Travellers in that part of
the world describe 1t as being exceed
ingly mild and fragrant. The dealers
who follow the hajj to Mecca and Me-
dina always supply themselves abund-
antly with Lebanon tobacco before
starting out, and no booty is so well
come to the Bedouin robbers Of the
desert as cargo Of this weed.

The end may not be yet for feeling
of uncertainty and unrest pervades

are candidly apprehensive. They are
concerned deeply over the future Of
