St Louis now finds that she has
1854 population, an increase of near
ly $4,000 last year. There are only
$500 negros in the city, and the pro-
portion Is steadily decreasing, as the
death rate among this class greatly
exceeds the number born or moving
into the city. This increase of popula-
tion. while 90 per cent more than st.
LOUIS had according to the census of
1900, still keeps her in the fourth rank
among the cities Of the United States.
Those ahead of her are New York.

The wind-wheel was 16 feet In diame-

high. 1t had three tails, one being
fixed and the other two attached to be
rotated. The two movable tails were
arranged to swing out automatically
when the velocity Of the wind rose

ing from 500 to 1000 revolutions per
minute. The current was used to
charge storage battery. 1t is only a
question of time when large portion
of the power used in farming and other
operations will be derived from the
wind. and therefore every experiment
in this direction is Of great interest.

The French are going to make their
small change of aluminium, and have
already begun the coinage of five and
1t-centime pieces of that metal The
extreme lightness is one of its chief
recommendations, and also it is found
that it wears less than gold, silver or
even bronze. AS there are $10,S00, 900
worth of this small money in France,
the change will be great work, and it
is proposed to make it in lots of 50,-
100000 francs worth. The five-centime
piece will be about one inch broad, but
1t will weigh only 81 grains, or less
than half that Of the bronze pieces.

The battleship North Dakota, which
is now nearing completion, is of inter-
est, because she is our first ship of the
Dreadnought type and also the first
battleship to be moved by steam tur-
bines. She will have two of these, each
having 2.500-horsepower, and they
will use the steam in nine stages. One
of the turbines will be for reversing
the motion of the ship. The engines
are of the Curtis type, embodying all
the latest Improvements. and are spe-
cially marked by the nicely of control
of the steam admission.

According to the new designs adopt
ed by the Treasury. the IS note, wheth-
or silver certificate or q greenback,
will carry the portrait of Lincoln. Ten
dollar gold and silver certificates and
United States notes will have that of

the $50 of Grant. the 500 of Franklin,
the $500 of Salmon P. Chase. and the
1000 that of Alexander Hamilton.
The different portraits will thus indi-
cate the value of the notes, and the
eagle, the buffafo and the Indian head,
which have been used, will be abol-
ished, since 1t is found that they are
too easily counterfeited.

In her eager search for new sources
of revenue, France has decided to i'm
pose a cure tax upon all the foreign
ers who come into the country to re-
ceive medical attention, either at the
springs or in the sanitaria. It would
look as If this was killing the goose
that lays the golden egg. A large por-
ton of the revenues of Frenchmen is
derived from foreigners who are either
sick or, what is worse, they think they
are sick.
