Dime Novels In snaIn.

Benjamin H. Ridgeley, American
consuIgeneral in Barcelona, reports
that French translations of the OLD
style American dime novels have
been selling well at the newspaper
kosks In that Catalan city. The books
sell from Al to cents American a
copy.
The consul-general was asked re
Gently by American publishers about
the chances of Spanish editions of ev.
erything in the dime novel series
His Investigations brought him to the
conclusion that there wouldn't be
much outlook for profit, because the
French editions have taken the edge
off the popular demand With the ex-
eeption of Barcelona and Madrid the
reading public is not large.
The best profits from this class of
literature are earned in South and
Central America.

The Earth's Mean Rainfall.

The discussion OF observations on
rainfall made firstly Sir John Murray
and later by Bruckner and Fritsehe
permits an estimation to be made OF
the mean rainfall on continents.
which is found to be about thirty
inches per year. The rainfall on the
ocean is more difficult to measure, but
it has been estimated by Supau; and
Frftsche. taking account of all the
known facts, estimates the mean an.
nual rainfall for the entire surface
OF the earth at about thirty-si1
inches. Making use of this numbe
1t is easy to calculate that the total
rainfall amounts to 464 million mil.
lions of metric tons per year, 1879
thousand millions of tons per day,
fifty-three thousand millions Of tons
per hour. $50 million tons per min.
ute, or fifteen million tons per second.

Danger in Ice Water.

Avoid fee water II you would be
considerable Of your stomach this hot
weather. That is the advice given
by a prominent physician, a stomach
specialist. In his opinion the chilling
Of the stomach with ice water and
other iced drinks is one Of the most
frequent causes Of summer stomach
disorders. Ice cold beverages may
be taken safely by slipping, letting
them become warm in the mouth be.
fore swallowing. But when gulped
down they excite the stomach, causing
rush of blood to that organ, fol-
lowed by a feeling of depression and
faintness. No animal will drink ice
water. Nature teaches them better,
says this physician. Water and other
drinks which are Just cool, or even
lukewarm, are far more refreshing
and invigorating, although they may
not please the palate at onee.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Note ON the Black Snake.

I have never seen black snake
over seven feet long, and much doubt
If they grow to greater length.
They are not hard to catch, though
in an open field they can run about as
fast as a man can. When caught they
struggle desperately until they find
there is no opportunity to escape.
when they will give up fighting and
may be handled with impunity.
Last spring, when / was walking
over the Brandywine hills, black
snake stuck his head out of hole in
an old apple tree about six feet from
the ground. He lodged back out Of
sight when he saw me. Then /
lighted a piece of newspaper and
dropped it into the hole. In just
about second the snake started out
again, and just as he poked his head
through the hole my companion
grabbed him around the neck.
took hold of the tail as 1t ap-
peared and we stretched him out tG
full length and measured him-fve
and a half feet. He did not fight
much, but this may have been caused
by his tust having shed his skin. He
was turned loose, and went wriggling
OFF into the swamp. Farmers in that
part of the country do not like to
have the black snakes killed.
One day a few weeks later, was
walking through a laurel thicket and
heard great commotion in the
leaves. A black snake had been dis
turbed by the noise l made.
He rushed toward me until he saw
me fix my feet to stop him, when he
turned and ran of in the other direc.
ton into clump of chestnut sprouts.
Up these he climbed for about
twenty feet. gliding from one branch
to another, but not at any time en-
circling the trunk or a limb.
AS | went toward him he would go
Off from the top of one tree to anoth-
er, stopping now and then to look
back at me- l brought his skin home
and it measured Just six feet.
l have never found these snakes to
be vicious; they can be handled cas-
lily, and their bite is harmless. They
can squeeze pretty hard If they get
turn around your wrist, but not hard
enough to break a bone.-Forest and

A NEW TEXTILE FIBRE.
It is Obtained From the Dwarf Palm
Tree in Algeria.

A vegetable fibre obtained from
the dwarf palm tree now forms one
Of the staple products of the AL.
gerian region, and the industry has
lately taken great extension. The
dwarf palm was heretofore consid'
cred as having no value for CONNER.
cial use, and even as harmful plant,
but owing to the method of extract.
ing the fibre from the plant which
Is now so successful, the use of the
product is on the increase and 1t can
be employed to advantage to replace
the animal fibre or hair, which is so
extensively used for mattresses, WOW.
en- products, harness and carriage
work, and these industries are now
commencing to use 1t and are plac
ing large orders for the fibre. BE.
sides this, the railway companies both
tinent are beginning to employ the
fibre for military bedding purposes
While horse hair appears to be easily
attacked by moths, the f1bres of the
dwarf palm resist the attacks of in.
sects; and besides the above uses
for it, we may also mention the manu-,
facture of various tissues and even
of hats. Algeria seems to have the
monopoly of the fibre industry for the
present. The natives collect the raw
material, consisting of the leaves OF
the dwarf palm, and bring them to
the factories. Here there is installed
carding apparatus, the old method
being to work 1t by hand, but recent
ly form of steam carding machine
has been used, and it givea much
better results. BY this process the
leaf is transformed into vegetable
fibre, which is afterward spun and
braided, this being done generally by
hand. In the primitive state the vege.
table flbre is valued at 50 to $12 per
ton. When 1t is dyed in black, the
price is very nearly doubled. In AL.
geria theer are already number oil
these factories, which are scattered
in different localities. The depart,
ment of Algiers has the best plants
and is thus able to manufacture a
superior quality of fibre. Cords
which are made from It are remark
able for their length, fiexibility and
elasticity. -Scientiic American.

The Victories OF Peace OuEiast the
Victories Of War.
international peace is best !

International peace is best pre-
served by satisfactory trade relations
ships. War means disaster even with
victory. Large fleets OF battleshipa
and great standing armies may have
their value In preserving harmony
among nations. But the increase OF
commercial relationships with for.
eign country and the weaving of an
intricate net Of international inter
ests is a much better way to keep the
peace.
These are the sentiments expressed
20 his American countrymen by the
italian Ambassador at the close Of a
busy week in Chicago. They are
words of truth and soberness. They
are supported by many illustrations
in the history OF the United States.
They are splendid suggestions in con-
nectiOn with the work of the newly
formed Italian Chamber of Com
merce. The clash of arms plays havoc
with commercial interests. The men
who will lose most usually are slow
est in their advocacy of resort to
war. That this feeling can DO made
q powerful factor in international
peace was declared in striking SEN
fences by the Ambassador from Italy.
Where solidarity Of interests exists
between representatives Of the COM
merce of different nations the chances
for arbitration Of disturbing ques-
lions are far greater than those for
war. The conclusion follows that
the more general and involved the
lines Of trade become, the less danger
there will be Of armed conflict.
From this point Of view the con-
sular agents of the United States are
doing a splendid work In the interests
of peace. The great manufacturing
concerns Of America which are reach
ing out to all parts of the world may
prove more effective forces than the
steadily developing feet. Such agen-
cies are friendly. They leave no Bit
terness for years to overcome. They
work quietly, and every contract or
new business connection is just one
more element against war.-ChicaEO

Meeting Hard Times.

Times are hard. We cannot change
that fact; but we can change our
mental attitude towards it, and hope
to find peace in the adjustment, if
we will. We can make up our minds
to do without the accustomed luxu-
ries. just as our mothers did of the
generation before, and find peace in
that sacrifice. We can resolve that
pleasant house is better than a
show at the club, and the decent chill
dren in the Sunday-school better
than the extravagant hat in the con.
gregation. We can hope that decent
men will curb minor expenditures
that are large in the aggregate. and
bring home the economies for the
comfort of wife and children. In
other words, if we will, we can ac-
complish, measurably. a degree OF
contentment that is not conspicuous
in the present day manifestation
