Hunorous Chinese Graft.

having told his men to have two ingots
Of gold sent to his treasury for pur-
chase the shopmen brought them In
and in answer to the query Of the tao
tai told him that the price was SO much
in taels, but added, "This is the or
binary price, but for your honor we
will knock off one-haif Of the price
Then the taotai said to his underlings:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only one-half price, just give them
back one ingot of gold and put the
other in my treasury, and thus their
account is settled Goodby." So the
underlings Of the yamen did so. but
still the shopmen hung around wait
ing. The taotai asked them why they
were waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shop
men. .Wn 4 did your honor pay your
humble servants?'' Then the maGis-
trate answered with a very fierce air:
"Taio nu ts-ai' Gmpertinent slaves,
did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your ac-

a SINGULAR Calculation.

It would require, according to the
calculations Of 4 scientist, the power
Of a 10000 horsepower engine about
7O,QO0OO0,000 years to lift the earth
a foot in height, and to do this work,
allowing thirteen pounds Of water per
horsepower per hour, would require
some 10000, 100000, ,0O0 100000 gallons
of water, or more than would be dis
charged at the mouth Of the Aississip-
pi in G.oO0 years. This would be
enough, the writer estimates, to cover
the entire surface of the earth to a
depth of not less than 300 feet, to
convert which into steam, using good
boilers, would require some 100000
600 100000 tons Of coal. If the latter
quantity Of the mineral was loaded on
cars Of twenty tons each it would de-
mand 2o0,0OO,00o,0Oo,000 such cars.
If the latter were thirty feet long and
all coupled together in one train 1t
would reach around the earth 45.00O,-
900 times and, if running twenty-five
miles per hour, would consume 25,0OO,-
900 years in running the length Of 1t
