AMERICAN SHOE INDUSTRY.
The Output of Footwear In This
Country Is Something
Enormous.

The books, shoes and slippers made
by machinery in the United States
every year would provide a pair of
some kind for more than one-seventh
of the inhabitants of the earth. If
they were arranged by pairs, heels
and toes touching, they would make
a belt that would encircle the globe,
with enough to spare to stretch
across the North American continent
from New York to San Francisco.
Placed singly, heel and toe, they
would GO around the world two and
a half times. If placed on the tracks
of our great trunk railroads, the
rights on one rail and the lefts on
the other, they would cover the irons
from the Atlantic to the Pacific of all
the continental lines that now cross
our country, says a shoe journal.
The hides and skins used to form
this immense quantity of shoes come
from all over the world, but chiefly
from the East Indies, South America
and Europe, and if they were sewed
together in one sheet they would
make tent large enough to cover
Manhattan island.

COLUMBIA WAS FAST.
OuteaiIed the Reliance Yesterday After
noon in Sharp Brush.

The Reliance and Columbia met
yesterday afternoon near the entrance
to Glen Cove and for nearly half an
hour were in close company. For
about fifteen minutes of that time
they were reaching on the starboard
tack toward Red Springs Point, which
is at the eastern side of the cove, then
they hauled on the wind and made
two tacks, one across the entrance to
the cove and the other heading to-
ward the town. These two tacks last
ed for Just thirteen minutes. 1t was
confidently expected by all the ad-
mirers of the yacht that she would
easily draw away from the old de-
fender of the Cup, but much to every
ones surprise the Columbia made the
better showing. On the reach she
outfooted the Reliance and when on
the wind she increased the distance
between the tow.
The wind was light from the south
west and it was estimated that the
yachts were travelling through the
water at the rate of five or six knots
an hour. They could not have finish
ed Cup race within the time limit
at the rate of speed they were going
through the water so that the brush
must not be taken as meaning any
thing very serious. Then the Colum-
bia is in the trim in which she sailed
twossyears ago, except Gthat she has
new sails, which yesterday did not fit
at all we'll, and she is sailed by Capt.
Miller, who two years ago, was the
mate of the yacht.

~DIvine. rreen Of Ind,a

The "divine" trees of India are com
monty freaks of nature; for instance,
two trees of different species united by
kind of natural grating. There is a
very good example at Colomb bo, in the
Island of Ceylon, where a slender and
graceful borassus palm can be seen
growing out of the heart of the banyan,
or Indian fig tree. The trunks of these
alien trees are so strongly joined that
only violence can separate them, and
it will not escape the attention of the
reader that the aspiring palm is pro-
tected against the fury of the wind by
the sturdy branches of the surround
ing fig tree.-Chicago Post.

TALL MEN ARE FREAKS.
Learned Authority Upon Giants Says
They Have Small Brain
Cavities.

Prof. Cunningham, who has been
appointed to succeed and serve under
his old teacher, Sir William Turner,
in the chair of anatomy in the Uni
versity of Edinburgh, is the greatest
authority upon giants, says London
paper. He is at present occupied in
celebrating the proofs of his belief
that a giant is morbid phenomenon.
A man or woman who is more than
six feet five inches, or, at the outside.
six feet six inches, cannot be regard
ed as merely abnormal, the professor
thinks. He has shown that the men
tai characteristics of giants-easy
good nature, sloth and poor intelli-
gence-are those shown by victims
of rare disease of overgrowth
called acromegaly. This is due to en-
largement of an appendage of the
brain, and Prof. Cunningham has
personally examined every giant
skeleton in the British and continen-
tai museums, and found that the lit
tie cavity in the skull corresponding
to this part of the brain is enlarged
IN all of them.
