GREAT CITIES COMPARED.

New York and Paris Have Costliest Gov-
ernments Per Capita.
The five great cities whose munich
pal expenses are usually compared are
London, the most popalous city IN the
world; New York city, the greatest
city of the New World: Paris. the
oldest of the European cities OF the
first class; Berlin. the European city
which Is growing most rapidly In
population. and Vienna, whose affairs
are administered under conditions
which have changed little since me-
dieval times. London had by the last
census population of 100000; New
York. 100000; Paris, 100000: Ber-
lin, 1885 900 and Vienna, by the cen.
sus Of ten years ago, 1865, 900, which
has probably been increased to 1,500,-
900 now. The cost Of the government
of London is approximately $65. .000,-
900 year or at the rate Of about SIS
per capita. The municipal expenses
of New York are s98,0nO0 900 a year,
or at the rate of about $2S per capita
The municipal expenses Of Paris are
100000, or about $2S per capita,
the same as New York, though Paris
has burdensome municipal debt and
has been expending for many years
millions Of francs on adornments and
embellishments. The municipal ex.
penses Of Berlin are s21 ,OCO, 900 year
or at the rate of about s12 per capita.
and the municipal expenses of Vienna
are Sl2,000,000 a year, or at the rate
of about So per capita, the smallest
average among the five cities Lon.
don expends more for education than
New York; New York expends more
for its police department than Lon
don; Paris expends more than either
London or New York for the improve
ments of its streets and the enforce
ment of laws as to buildings. Berlin
has nearly twice as many city en-.
ployes as Vienna, but the latter has
park area so per cent greater than
New York and larger than any other
continental city. with the single excep

horizontally on a pivot in q vacuum
surrounded by glass and which re-

under the scientific direction Of Prof.
E. F. Nichols Of the Yerkes observa-
tory. Prof. Nichols recently took the
heat OF an ordinary candle at the dis
tance of one meter (39.37 lnches) as a
basis, and determined that his instru-

ten-milltOnth the amount OF that heat
from Arcturus, the great star of the
first magnitude in the constellation
Bootes. Jupiter-a giant among our
planets. but absolutely insignificant
when compared with the distant
Arcturus-gives rs twice as much heat
as that star. Through the blue-white
star Vega. the brightest in the con-

Teeth Pulling with the Fingers.

1t ic stated that an Indianapolis
dentist has abandoned entirely the use
of forceps in pulling teeth, and has
adopted the primitive method Of the
Chinese, using his forefnger and
thumb only for this purpose He
maintains that much Of the terror peo-
pie have in having their teeth pulled
is due to the sight Of the instruments
and that the shock from this cause
produced in nervous people Is some
times serious. He also claims that by
the manual process there is really less
pain, and that he can take out the
most firmly rooted double tooth quite
as expeditiously as with forceps. He
learned this art from Chinese practi.
