opium shops opened in the outer city
of Pekin have been divided into fcur
classes and are to be taxed after GER
tain regulations. They are to regis
ter themselves according to their
classes and the number of lamps for
the payment of taxes so that inspec-
ton can easily be effected.
Shop owners are hereby Informed
of the regulations and that they are
to come to this department for regis
tration beginning from the 30th day
1st moon 31st year of Kuang Hsu. If
any one dares to make false declara-
tion as to his class or the number of
lamps, opens shops without license or
refuses payment of the tax if discov-
cred, the building used for smoking
opium will be confiscated and the
owners strictly fined as a warning to
these private dealers in opium shops.

Pekin, the capital of China, is fight
ing the "opium-shop evil" Efforts are
being made to reduce the number of
iens and to restrict the smoking of
the drug and to curtail the loafing
and vice that accompany opium smok-
ing by compelling each shop to take
out license and to pay tax accord
ing to the lumber of lamps" in each
shop. The shops are divided into four
classes and the fees are graded ac-
cordingly from 81 a month to twenty
cents for each lamp, payable on the
10th of every month. The recent
proclamation of the Pekin sanitary
department reads rs follows: Opium
smoking is extremely harmful TO the
health and the shops where opium
is smoked are the retreats of loafers.
Such places should really be alto
gether prohibited. so that the people
might enjoy more prosperity, and
dens of thieves would thus be done
away with. But as opium smoking has
become such habit it cannot be got
rid of entirely and at once. The evil
can only be removed gradually.

DO FISH REALLY FLY?I
OPINIONS OF EXPERTS DIFFER
One Says Fins Simply Act as Aero.
planes-Another Claims That
They Move Swiftly as Wings.

Two papers on the eternal flying fish
problem have appeared almost stimuli
taneously, and express widely diverse
views, says the London Field.
In the one published in the Jahrbuch
of the Austrian geological survey, Dr.
Abel, after describing the various
kinds of fossil flying fish, concludes
that neither the typical flying fish or
the flying gunards ever use their pect-
toral fins as active organs of fight.
On the contrary, the initial impetus by
means of which these fishes arc
launched into the air is due entirely to
powerful, screw-like movements of the
tail fin, and this impetus is sufficient
to carry them to the end of their jour
ney, the wings" acting merely as par
achutes. In other words the fight is
precisely similar to that of a fiat stone
when thrown up so as to ricochet from
the points where it touches the water
till it finally falls.
In the second paper, published in
the january number of the Annals and
Magazine of Natural history, the au-
thor, Col. c. ID. Durnford, takes the
precisely opposite view, maintaining,
on mechanical grounds, that the aero
plate theory, as the above may be
called, is an absolute physical impoS-
sibility, owing to the fact that the
wing surface is far too small in pro
portion to the size and weight of the
body to sustain the fish during It's
long fight.
This being admitted, the only alter
native is to suppose that the wings"
are moved with an exceedingly rapid
vibratory motion throughout the whole
flight, and are thus, after the first in
itial impetus, the propelling power.
The author further maintains that the
wing movements which many observ.
ers have noticed when a flying fish
touches a wave are not movements de
novo, but merely such slowing down
of the continuous rapid vibrations as
to render them visible to the eye. If
Col. Durnford's mechanical data are
Trustworthy they seem to be-his
case appears to be proved.
The next point. however. to ascer
tain is whether the muscles which
work the pectoral fins of flying fish
are really capable of imparting to
them the power of maintaining those
rapid and continuous vibrations which
are the essential part of the new the
ory.

THE MODERN BLACKSMITH

village blacksmith in a prosperous
town is as fine as that of the banker.
In a great many instances he has a
good store Of books; there are fine
pictures on his walls. The earnings
from his trade are invested in shops
that are equipped with every modern
appliance. and in many other ways
his general prosperity is made plain
to the world.
Men in the country now are more
particular about having fine horses
on their farms and naturally more
careful about the way they are shod.
There has been almost as much i'm
provement in fitting a shoe on the
foot of horse as there has been in
the work of dentist in repairing the

It was in 1858 that the first regular
stage coach began running between
the two capitals, London and Edin-
burgh. 1t ran once fortnight and the
fare was ga, which would be good
deal more than $40 to-day. The time
taken to the journey is not accurately
known, but between York and London
it was four days. This lavish system
of communication was not, however,
kept up, as in 1868 the coach ran be-
tween London and Edinburgh once
month only, taking fortnight, if the
weather was favorable, to the journey.
In 1854 heroic effort was made to
improve the London and Edinburgh
coach. The Edinburgh Courant for
that year contained the following ad-
vertisement:
