Most-Spoken Languages.

The most-spoken language is Chi
nese; but as there are so many dia-
lects In the language, and as these
differ so greatly in the confines of
Mongolia and Tibet from those around
Pellln, 1t is scarcely correct to say
that the 3S20OO,00O celestials all
speak one language. Putting, there.
fore, China aside, the most-spoken
languages in the world are as follows,
in millions: English, 1870; Gel man,
7O Russian, 6S Spanish, A; Portu-
guese, 80. If we were to measure
these in ratio on a two-foot rule, we
should get the following results
Portuguese, four inches; Spanish, five
and one.half inches; Russian, eigh.
and one-half inches; German, eight
and three-quarters inches; EnglisA,
one foot and three inches.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.
British Refused to Adopt Successfu
Breech-Loading Gun.

Representative Webb of North Caro-
lima entertained the house the other
day with a historical account of the
battle of Kings Mountain, one of the
SAYS the Boston Transcript. 1t was
fought Oct 7, 1880, little more than a
year before Yorktown, and proved one
of the events that contributed to the
ultimate defeat and surrender of Corn
wallis. 1t was achieved at a time
when success was greatly needed to
raise the dropping spirits of the patris
OTIS.
Mr.. Webb thinks the United States
should rear a monument on the battle
field. To the military student, Kings
Mountain will ever have an interest
from the circumstance that the British
commander, Maj. Patrick Ferguson.
who was slain, seemed far in advance
of the time in his efforts TO improve
firearms. He had invented breech-
loading musket, which fired seven
shots minute. This somewhat
crude, but effective weapon, was tried
before a British military board in
Great Britain, and its performance was
all that its inventor claimed. But the
board reported against it on the
ground that it would be productive Of
wastefulness of ammunition. Fergu-
son was powerless to procure a re
versal of the verdict. He is said to
have armed some of the Tory corps he
commanded with the weapon at his
own expense, the government stead
lily refusing to adopt 1t for the army.
1t Is interesting to put down the his
tory book as Thackeray says, and spec
ulate on what might have happened,
but for what did happen. Such an in
teresting speculation is What would
have been the course of American his
tory had the British army entered the
revolution armed with breech-loaders
against the muzzle-loaders of our pa
triot sires? Such speculation leads
one to think of the many inventions
of presumably conquering value that
men and nations have missed in cri-
ses of their fate. We know that the
inventor of the needle gun was work
ing Paris when Napoleon was striving
TO carry his military equipment to the
pitch Of perfection, and we know that
Fulton was unable to get through the
hedge of officialdom to have direct
speech with Napoleon. But is that
really any stranger than that five
years after the Clermont walked the
waters like a thing of life" the United
States should not have had steamer
in its navy when it threw down the
gage of battle before Great Britain?
In 1861 we began great war that was
fought with muzzle-loaders, eighty
years after Maj. Ferguson was buried
wrapped in a raw beefs hide" at
the foot of Kings mountain, where
the grave may be seen to this day.

That the Horrible Disaster
Was a "Misadventure."

Hongkong, Oct. 31.-The coroner's
jury in the steamer Hankow fire dis
aster has found that it was a "misad-
venture but the jury added a rider to
it's verdict to the effect that the prac-
tice of ships carrying an inflammable
cargo unprotected on the main deck
was a dangerous one. The services OF
the police and others to save life were
highly commended, and it was recon-
mended that the owners of two junkS
which were burned while being en-
ployed in saving lives be compensated.
The British steamer HankoW, with
1000 Chinese steerage passengers,
burned at her wharf Oct. II. Most of
the Chinese either persisted in the flames
or were drowned. Seven European pas
sengers and the crew escaped.
