LARGEST EVER ouARRIED.

Eight OF the largest blocks Of stone
ever quarried In this country are lying
at the works OF the Bodwell Granite
company at Vinal. Maine. awaiting the
completion Of a great lathe which Is to
turn and polish them. They are to
be used IA columns for the Cathedral
OF ST. John the Divine. New York city.
The weight OF the stones In the
rough Is from 120 TO 1870 tons each.
They are from ffty-seyen to sixty feet
In length and about seven feet In d.
ameter When ready for shipment each
stone Will be n round column six feet
in diameter and ffty-six feet IN length
and Will weigh more than sixty tons.
The contract price for the eight stones
Is 100000. something more than s25..
600 for each column.

will be put in the lathe which will

The monopoly which the Carthu-
sian monks have heretofore enjoyed
In France, and which has netted tho
French government 100000 francs q
year, is sustained under the eccles-
iastical law. as II has been under the
civil law. These monks make the ia
nous ehartreuse liquor. and employ
everybody in the whole province OF
Grenoble. where is their mother house,
called the Grande Chartreuse. The
recipe for this liquor is known only
TO these monks and only by three OF
their number at that. In 1892 a sec
ular priest named Clotti, who had
been a Carthusian at Grenoble and
obtained the secret while there,
started the making OF the liquor in
Rome. His competition becoming felt,
the powers at Rome were petltioned
and supported the monks In their con-
tention. Father Ciottl took his man
ufactory 20 London. where he still
maintains It. The profit TO the Garth
usians from this liquor making is
counted to be 100000 francs a year.

TO XIII MOSQUITOES.

Some time ago we illustrated in de-
tail the experiments which are being
carried out In the Roman Campagna,
Italy, for the reduction Of the mos
quito plague. II has been established
beyond doubt that these insects are
the cause OF the dissemination OF ma
larial microbes. and further light has
been thrown upon the subject by Maj.
Ronald Ross. II. A. NJ. O., who re-
turned TO England from West Africa
on September 2. after having con-
Quoted extensive investigations into
the origin and spread Of malarlal fever
At Freetown the investigators en-
ployed workmen 10 destroy mosquito
larvae and within thirty-four days
they had cleared more than 1000
houses, with the result that the num-
Der OF mosquitoes has been largely
reduced, and II was hoped that there
would be corresponding abatement
in cases Of malaria. This week we
illustrate and experiment which has
been made at Staten Island by DR.. AL
yah Doty, health officer OF the port OF
New York. His method was to de-
stroy the mosquitoes with petroleum,
and he attacked Muller's pond, which
has for years been breeding place,
TO the discomfort Of the inhabitants
OF Concord where malaria has been
prevalent. Doctor Doty proposed to
distribute oil over the water, and for
that purpose he contrlved wooden
font eight feet long and four faat
broad. Within this, in a manner some
what resembling a harp. were placed
pipes perforated with small holes six
inches apart. A hose, connected with
a tank filled with crude petroleum. and
a pump were then attached to the
pipes, and petroleum was driven
down through the water with consld-
cradle force. There is thus formed
upon the surface an oily scum which

Is THERE A PLANET BEYOND NEP.
TUNEY


This question was revived before the
Royal Society of Edinburgh lately by
Prof. George Forbes, who called atten-
tlon TO the fact that there are seven
comets whose apholion points, accord
ing TO their calculated orbits, CORE
spond with the position OF planet re-
volying around the sun at distance
100 times greater than that OF the
Garth, and having n period OF about
1000 years. He suggested that the dis
turbing attraction Of this supposed
planet had altered the elements of the
orbit OF the great comet seen in 1864
and 1856 80 that II did not come back
when expected in 1S4S. This comet, he
thought, might be identified with the
third comet OF 1874 or the second
comet Of 1sl3. Its return having been
hastened by the perturbation OF tho
planet.

During the firing of minute-guns by

occasion OF Queen Victorla's funeral.
the sounds were heard at surprising
distances inland, and the English sci
entifc journals have since published
many interesting facts about these

that not only the direction OF the wind
but Its relative velocity at different
elevations from the ground, affected
the direction of the sound-waves. In
some cases. contrary winds refracted
the sound over the heads OF observers
between 10 and 45 miles from the
ships, so that they did not hear tho
guns, but the same waves were after
