till few days ago, he was improving.
but Saturday he suffered a relapse and
gradually sank till the hour of his
death. He was unconscious during Sat
urday or at least unable to speak. The
doctor thinks this may have resulted
from paralysis of the vocal chords. A
few moments before his death he
seemed to recognize the members of
the family, and with a smile and a look
of recognition he passed away.

parade when the mass meeting of the
year was TO be held and the streets were
black with people. every Clay man wore ,

Daniel Webster, the biggest card at the
meeting. spoke for Clay and wore one OF

Mexico's Soda Lakes.

THE Mexican Investor calls attention
to the fact that the Mexican govern
] ment owns a valuable property in the
famous carbonate of soda lakes OF the
Bay of Adair, near the Gulf of California.
The Investor says:-
Under the blazing sun OF the desert, sur
rounded by barren and bleak sand dunes
lie vast lakes Of crystals Of carbonate OF
soda, to all appearances great masses Of
snow aud ice, but in reality a substance
from which will be made millions of tons
Of soap and millions OF panes Of glass. Al
only one other place i'm the world is nat
ural soda found under conditions which
admit Of industrial development, and at
that place II must be shipped several hum
dred miles by rail. and many tons of water
must be evaporated by coal to obtain a ton
OF the product.
The Mexican lakes are within 5000 yards
of the sea and the fierce sun and heat Of
the desert attend to the evaporation. The
worlds consumption is very large.
amounting 70 several hundred thousand
tons annually, and at present nearly all
OF 1t is manufactured from common salt
with the use Of expensive machinery. At
Adair Bay. when the temperature is right,
the water Of the lake ccyst1llizes into pure
carbonate OF Soda nature doing what man
requires expensive machinery snd vast
amounts Of coal to 10.
Inc Mexican government decilneS 10 as
pose of these lakes to any one, President
Diaz believing that they may become
sources Of enormous income TO tia coun-
try, just as the nitrate OF SOFA beds are
to Chill
What It may mean TO the soap and glass
industry OF Mexico may be judged when
/ II is stated that at present manufactured
soda. one Of the principal items Of cost,
sells for S75 per ton in parts OF the country,
while the same article from Adair Bay
may be delivered for less than one-third OF
that price. An estimate OF an engineer Is

European States are far behind. France
produces 10000 tons, Holland $500, Bel
GUM 1000. Greece 1,400 and Russia and

American Pianos in France.

~ EPDYING TO a'request for informa-
/tion, Consul General Robert p Skim
N ner, Of Marseilles says that the most
famous and also the most expensive
plano in France bears a we'll known Amer
team name, mainly because Il has been the
concert plano OF preference Of a number OF
great artists. Mr.. Skinner adds:-
ITS price prevents it from becoming
very popular instrument in spite Of It's
recognized superiority. The piano Of COM
merce must sell at retail for between 500
and 500. The old fashioned square piano
Is no longer manufactured and is seldom
seen IN this country. The ordinary French
upright plano has a range of seven octaves
and the grand piano (piano queue) seven
and one-fourbh octaves. The favorlte
woods for plano cases are poplar and wal
nut, and these are not highly vanished. as
In the United States, but are waxed and
polished The present range Of prices for
French pianos is for uprights. $50 to S32S
wholesale and SIG TO S347 retail. and for
grand pianos S251 to S733 wholesale and
$3.50 to SIP retail. The retail dealer makes
small profits-about $50 on an upright in
strument and $40 on a grand piano Ameri-
can pianos already have a high reputation
in France, by which our excellent low
priced instruments might profit provided
they could be exported and support the
French duty. which IN the case Of Ameri-
can pianos would be 60f. (s115s) for each
upright piano and S5f (si640) for each
grand piano

" LONDON photographer has been
l making a series of experiments IN the
Nway of posing animals In the Zoo and
making unusually fine pictures OF the
creatures residing therein. The officials In
charge of the collection were much inter
csfed I'm the experiments and gave the
artist every assistance Ia his work.
According to the photographer the great
dlnculty with the CRATES Is that their
anatomy Is too extensive IL YOU go very
near tho ratings. SO as 60 avoid including
them In the photograph. you Will generally
find that by reason OF their long necks
they have gotten partially out OF the pic
ture. which makes g awkward, and very
inartistic. TO give the public a picture OF
a giraffe with thirty or forty feet OF is
neck missing would never be understood
and the photographer would be blamed for
what he really could not help.

One day the little dog picked up a pipe

A Balloon Inclined Railroad.

It consists Of a stationary balloon. which
is fastened to a slide running RIong a sin-
gle steel rail. The rail is fastened to ths
side Of steep mountain, which ordinary
railroads could not climb. except through
deep cuts and tunnels. The balloon Is to
float about thirty-five feet over the ground,
and a heavy steel cable connects II with
the rail. The conductor can at will make
the balloon slide up and down the side OF
the mountain. For going up the motive
power is furnished by hydrogen gas, while.
the descent is caused by pressure of water.
which is poured into a large tank at the
upper end Of the road, and which serves as
ballast. Suspended from the balloon is a
circular car with room for ten passengers.
The cable goes from the bottom OF the
balloon through this centre Of the car to
regulator OF speed. which is controlled by
the conductor. The inventor of this rail-
road claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out Of existence.

Paper from Cotton Stalks.

THE manufacture OF paper from the
fibre of the cotton stalk is one Of the
] latest inventions which are said TO
have passed the experimental stage
II Is asserted that all grades OF paper.
from the best FORM OF linen 70 the lowest
grade, can be manufactured from cotton
stalks. In addition to this. a variety OF
by-products, such as alcohol, nitrogen,
material for guncotton and smokeless
powder can also be secured in paying
quantities. Mills for the use OF cotton
stalks in that way may become general il
the cotton growing States. 1t is estimated
that on an area of land producing a bale
Of cotton at least one ton of stalks can
be gathered. Upon this basis. from 10
100000 to 100000 tons of raw mat a
could be secured for the production OF
paper. which would increase the value Of
the south's cotton crop nearly Slo,OooOO0. .
