DEMAND FOR LossrERs.
Six Tons of Them Sent

Six Hundred Tons of Them Sent to
Europe.
Despite the fact that the lobster is
growing so scarce that the demand is
now hardly met during ten months of
the ear and cannot be supplied in
February and March, a steamer sailed
from Halifax, N. S., one of the few
great sources of the American market,
recently, carrying to Havre $4,000 cases,
weighing 900 tons and valued at over
$4,000. The foreign demand for this
rustacean is increasing prodigiously,
avs the New York Evening Post, max
ng still further demands upon the
supply source. Three years ago lob
ster at 10 cents a pound was consid-
cred expensive; the cheapest price it
brings today is double that sum. The
reason assigned for the heavy orders
from abroad is the presence of num-
berS of Americans in Europe at this
time. 1t is impossible to ship live lob
sters to Europe, for even in the jour
ney from Portland, Me-, to this city,
from 10 to 20 per cent of those shipped
in barrels-the usual way-are dead
when they arrive in the markets. For
export, Holsters are canned. The de-
mand for Holsters in New York at
present exceeds the supply. The rea-
son for this is that the lobster is made
the basis of one of the most delicious
salads, and in the summer every one
wants it. The government is trying to
check the growing scarcity by enforc-
ing strict laws regarding the size and
weight, and by stocking southern and
western waters. Portland, Me-, pro-
duces the best and most delicate lob
sters, and most of those consumed in
New York, but. it cannot give enough
now for this market.

of the formation the water from the
cloud descends until it meets the water
of the sea. After the union of the two
the water of the sea probably ascends,
taking the water from the cloud back
with it.
1t is said that many seamen believe
that waterspOuts may be precipitated
and completely destroyed by a we'll
directed shot from a cannon. It is even
related that upon a number of occa-
sions this feat has been accomplished.
The theory is that the conclusion of
the air from a heavy gunshot is SO
great that it overcomes entirely the
force of the whirlwind and dissipates
1T to such an extent that the gyrating
condition qulLe disappears. The best
method of bringing about this result
is to fire an explosive shell directly at
the water column. II a shell with a
time fuse can be thrown so much the
better, especially if an expert in cut
ting fuses of right length for estimated
distances is at hand on board the boat.
A shell exploding near a spot is guar
anteed to kill it so dead that it will
never rise again. Upon the ocean
numbers of w~aterspouts will sometimes
rise within a comparatively short dis
lance of each other, and when the
spouts are Of great size, as they some
times are, ships in their path are in
actual danger.
The same theory in regard to the de-
struction of waterspouts by firing
shells at them is held by many in re-
gard to the humiliation of cyclones.
The project of using guns on these de-
~vastating and death-dealing storms has
been seriously considered in a number
of towns in the west and northwest
which have been visited by disastrous
cyclones. The scheme which has peer
preached contemplated the placing Oh
a cannon or shell-throwing gun upon
some eminence in the town and pro-
viding it with a sort of ~lifesaving
squad of volunteers from among the
citizens. Upon the approach of a storm
this squad, Dr. a part of it, would man
the gun and be ready to hurl a shell
at any ~gyrating cloud of dangerous ap-
pearance as soon as it should come
within gunshot of the town. Although
this project has been discussed a num-
Der of times, it has not yet been puk
into execution.

New York, Office of Maury Smith, in
1871. Mr.. Smith was manage of the

said the stranger. Mr.. Smith noticed
that the applicant appeared to be quite

thousand word message. Edison, for

as the instrument began to click he
dashed off the copy in a large, round,
legible hand. While deaf to all other
sounds, he could catch the faintest
metallic click. On came the message
faster and faster, twenty, thirty, forty
words a minute. A crowd of operators
gathered around, curiosity and then
amazement depicted on their faces.
Page after page was reeled off, with
never a break, and with the last click
of the instrument, the forty-minute
message had been received perfectly

Chinese Pawnbrokers.

Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the usual one-
stored or low constructions. Some of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at a considerable dis
lance above the ground, and no out
side projections by which thieves
might get in. These establishments
are called pawnshops. But they APP
pear to more resemble banks. 1t is
usual among the Chinese to deposit
their possessions of value, when not
in use, in these establishments. The
people also store there in summer
their winter clothing, on which money
is often lent. To have dealings with
a pawnshop is in no way considered
derogatory to a Chinese gentleman's
dignity.
