proof Among europeans and Americans,

Nothing causes foreigner travelling in
China more trouble than money. Ths
coins issued by one province are frequent
ly at a discount in another. The circulat-
ing medium is the Mexican dollar, provin-
cial coins and bank notes. In a general
way it might be said that the dollar coined
upon our continent is the unit Of value.
Banks discount their own notes, as they
are generally payable in local currency
which think means their own note.
China never can be an imperial unity I'M
til she adopts a national coinage system.
Until that time she will be the sport and
playthng Of the viceroys and English
banks.

AN ELECTRIC RUNAWAY.
Worse Than a Runaway Horse or Un'
manaqeabIe Automobile.

A special dispatch from Joliet to
the Chicago Inter Ocean gives an in
teresting account of some of the wild
pranks played by an electric current
which broke away from its moorings.
According to the dispatch a feed"
wire of the Joliet electric railway. car
rying current of 5000 volts, broke
and fell across Western Union Tel
egraph Company's wire and the rail
road and telegraph company suffered
much damage
Fire started simultaneously in the
Santa Fe depGt at Romeo, the Michi-
gan Central depot at Romeo, the Mich
igan Central depot at Spencer. and the
Santa Fe depot III Joliet
The main switchboard of the West
ern Union was affected and switch
boards were burned out in several
stations along the lines of the Santa
Fe, Alton. and Michigan Central.
The depot in Joliet was partially
destroyed before the lremen could
check the flames, and the depots ct
Romeo and Spencer. twenty-five miles
apart, were burned to the ground
all from fires started by the great cur
rent turned on to the telegraph wires
by theb roken power line. Electricity
is a very useful servant. but it is more
dangerous than horse when it runs
away.

TalIest Building on Earth.

A New York dispatch says that the
tallest building on earth is to be erect
ed in lower Broadway if the present
plans are carried out. With five stOr-
les below the street level. forty stories
high from the entrance to the top floor,
and surmounted by siXty-foot tower.
the gigantic new building will have a
total height of 615 feet. making it over
twice as high as the Flatiron building,
and almost as tall again as the Park
Row building, which at present holds
the record.
This building would extend one full
block on Broadway. and its cost. in
Guiding the site. will reach $4,000, 900.
The land is said to have been secured,

Opals in Hiqh Favor.

In spite of the oldtime superstition
there seems to be grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds OF the girls of to-day. for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
more beautiful stone than the opal,
and jewelers. say that if they continue
to win their way in popular favor they
will become more costly. Hitherto
they have been cheaper than their
beauty led one to expect they would
be, but that was because the super
sttion about their ill-luck bringing
powers made people fear to own
them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal
surrounded by smaller brilliants
makes charming setting for ring.
The diamonds reflect the rainbow
tints of the opal and the combination
of stones is one which shows the
beauties of both to best advantage.
