" Tnr. proposition to turn the waters oi th Colorado river into the great Salton I .: i or desert and make it a fertile tract f prehistoric times is not yet taboo ;t country that prides itself on its i a. t; aiity. The cheapest internal im i i ivement perhaps ever suggested to ac- wonderful results is that of r.-.j.'-ning the old canals and channels of ! : lower Colorado valley and irrigating :' irom enl to end. "What the red citi ; ! of a long-extinct semi-civilization do the white citizens of an ad- i ! civilization surely may do. The 'tontdo river itself has pointed out how .-.-v the task is by breaking into the i- - rtand leaving in the valley the seeds t i -g tation and the Water and soil nec- - ary for its germination and growth. Tin' problem is very different from that I i evented elsewhere in the far west the - : river solves the difficulty at ismall ulay of capital. Wkktiieu there will speedily be a war in Km ope is a question that no cne can iner, or rather one in regard to which n answer is worth the paper on which it is written. At no period since the era (f the great Napoleon have there been Mich vast armies in Europe, and either the Continental powers must reduce their forces or they will soon, one and all, be ruined. The richest country is France, lut there the taxation is enormous. 1 lot li Austria and Germany are compara tively poor; Russia's credit is only main tained by the French being rgady totmy its bonds; Italy is practically bankrupt dlieady, and, notwithstanding this, all these countries are engaged in an insane struggle to compete with each other in amassing the material to, wage a success ful war. Tin-: rapid growth of the industrial applications of electricity has placed the 6tudv uf electrotechnics on a footing with the older branches of engineering:, if, indeed, it has not already outstripped them. Statistics show that the number of students who choose the electrical studies at our large universities and tech nical schools is yearly increasing. At Cornell University, for instance, the number has increased from 8 in 1881 to ., 2.o in 1802; and this is only a specimen of the continued grow th in other institu tions. - Evidence is not wanting that the coining year will be no less a prosperous one in this respect for the universities than the preceding ones. Tin-: Hungarian Government does not sell any part of its forests, but buys more each year. In some parts of the country, as in the eastern region of the Carpathians, woods are found of several thousand acres in extent, consisting for the nuxt part of red beech. This is used for firewood, carriages, staves and agri cultural implements, and in the manu facture of bent wood. There are few tires, and they seldom permanently dam ago the woods. There are large resinous forests iu Transylvania; but they are not very accessible, and there are also some in the district of Mnrmaros, in the north east of the country. Cyci.inw of all kinds has become very popular in this country, but the love for "wheels"' has not yet become a ' raze, as it has in some parts of Europe. In London long tandem bicycles, capable of seating eight or more passengers, have been introduced, and one is now being 1 used as a rival to the tram or street cars. The ow ner of the vehicle occupies the frout seat, collects the fares and steers, but the pa?seugers have to provide the motive power, and if they don't move their feet freely very poor time is made on the journey. It is said that iu Lon don the seats are booked and paid for a week in advance. Frmi-Fs ok Edward S. Holden, the astrouo'iKr. aud Director of the Lick Observatory in California, is hot very hopeful about the present investigations of the planet Mars. "YVheu we come to an examination of the particularities of Mars surface we riud dissimilarity and not likeness to details of the earth's," he says in the Forum. "Under these cir cumstances, and so long as sifch widely d vergent views can be advocated by competent observers, it appears to me that the wise course is to reserve judg ment and to strive for more light." Filial respect in the Orient presents some features unique chough to attract attention. For instance, a Japanese young man, having decided to adopt the profession of burglary, attempted to strangle his aged mother that a knowl edge of his calling might not pain her. His solicitude was futile, for the police caught him administering the solace pre scribed by his conscience and checked his career as a dutiful son.

There are only two positions, as postmasters, now vacant in large cities, viz: Charleston, S. C-, and Vicksburg, 31is. In the former office A. H. Mowry, appointed during the Cleveland administration, is postmaster. He was appointed in March. 1887, and his commission expired in December last. Dr. Crum,- a colored tnan, was then nominated, but the nomination was subsequently withdrawn. It is probable that no appointment- will be made and that the President will permit Mr. Mowry to remain.

The discovery has just been made that the wheat crop of Minnesota and the Dakota, is millions of bushels above all estimates. The re ceipts yesterday at Minneapolis were oyrr 1,100 cars, the heaviest day's busi ness of the seasn, but on many other days during the past month receipts hive run up to nearly 1,000 cars. Grain men have been estimating the crop from 85,000,000 to 105,000,000 bushels for the three big wheat States, but they are all beginning to hedge now. Th' se who put their figures at 100,000,000 have ad ded from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 more, and those who figured higher than that originally have gone up as high a 130,(00,000.

Neil's Estimate of the CTOp Shows an Alarming Shortage. New Orleans, La., Henry M. Neil has just issued his circular on the condi tion of tbe cotton crop. He lowers his estimate to 6,500,000 bales, and sajs: "During the last two week we hive re ceived careful and complete reports from almost the eatire cotton area and the unanimous opinion is that the shortage is so great as to amount to a real calamity. These reports do not come from planters only, but also from people who are look ing for cotton for the purpose of buying it and whose interest it is to exaggerate the prospect ot supply not to underesti mate it. We have now reached the per iod when the receipts are always found to be governed principally by the size of the crop, ss the time j has passed: when the lateness of maturity has any effect. The weather generally has been favora ble for transportation and the facilities, which are, of course, greater everj year, and the price have advanced far beyond what planters would have expected or been satisfied with had they had good crops; there is, therefore, no possible ex planation of a lights movement but the one that the crop is very short. Per haps the 'planters are holding back some what, they must be doing so or the crop could not be even 6,500,000; but does any one suppose that at these prices planters could hold back if their crops were large? sud yet port receipts to No vember 10th inclusive, are just equal to those of l886-.'87, a 6,500,000 crop, 500 000 bales behind those of 1887 '88, a 7,000,000 crop. A3 Scott From Horseback. x 4If you want to experience a norel sensation," said a gentleman who sports a Colonel's uniform as member of a Gov ernor's stall whenever said Governoi turns out on parade, "just get on horse Lack and take part in some great pro cession like those which marked the Columbian festivities. 'lt is the most curious feeling that you ever experienced, I will wager a hat. It beats hasheesh or opium smoking all to pieces. It is unlike any other thing that you ever saw or heard or felt. 'At first you are all right, and you hear the bands and see the great furrowt of humanity on eithet side of the way as distinctly as you ever saw anything in your life. But after a while things be gin to grow blurred to your seusos. The music dies away aud there is nothing but a dull roar in your ears, while the crowd becomes merely a dull and indistinct mass without form or meaning in your eye3. "But now you begin to see singel figures. Men haaging from the eaves ol high buildings, boys perched on chim neys or sigu boards or in some haairdaus place. You watch one of them with fascinated eyes, expecting every minute to see him fall and bo dashed to piece on the pavement. You are constantly filled with an overwhelming feeling that you are to be witness to some dreadful accident, but for the lite of you you cannot turn your eyes away from it. After a while you cease to be a human being at all and become a mere automa ton. .You are not controlled by human emotions, but by the magnetism of the crowd. Itris some such sort of hypnotic state, I apprehend, which men get intc during a battle and which makes them so unlike themselves." New York Herald. A Cow iu a Bear Pit. A comic scene took place a short time ago at Berne, Switzerland. A peasant from Ostermundingcn was driving a cow into the capital, and had arrived at the Muristalden when the animal bolted, aud, jumping the rails round the well known bear pit, arrived at the bottom without injury. The proprietor thought that his cow was lost, but he was mis taken. She attacked the bears bravely, who, utterly routed, retired into tbeir den, into which she would have fol lowed them had she not been prevented by the keeper of the animals, who let down the trap door. Then the cow went to the slaughter house and fulfilled her destinv. New York Times. White-Tie Races.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. Gov. Tillman Says in His Message that the School System is a Humbug. Columbia, S. C. The General Assem bly of South Carolina convened and will continue in session thirty-one days. The make up oi the two house show that rotation in office has taken hold of the veters in South Carolina in earnest. Much of the "driftwood' of which Gov. Tillman complained has been set afloat and newer timber selected. Out of 125 members in the House of Representatives, onlyy thitty- six of the old members have been returned.

In the Senate the caucus system was inaugurated by the Tillmanites, who arranged the officers beforehand . Gov. Tillman's message was transmit ted to the Legislature and read. The message treats entirely of Stale issues there being no reference to Federal mat ters. The Governor pronounces the present school system a humbug, ' says that the slight iucrease of the assessed property during the sixteen years the white people have had control indicates that we are a very improvident and non progressive people, " or that there is a great deal of tax dodging. He calls up on the reformers "to keep their pledges and support the South Carolina Col lege, not abolish it, as recommended by the State Superintendent of Education. He declared that the adherents of the old regime have largely withdrawn their patronage from the college because they could not have their way in controlling it, and the county of Charleston, which has always supported the college zeal ously has at this time no student whithin its walls." The Governor pitches into the Judges for according what he terms "special consideration" to banks, an nd accuses them of having overridden their power and interfered with the Executive branch of Government. - The National Farmers' Congress. Lincoln, Neb. The National Far mers' Congress held its final session. The laxity of the inter-States commerce law was condemned.

The Shark's Curiom Ear. j Sharks have lately been affording jcon tributions to science. The biologists have been vivisecting them for the pur pose of finding out about the function! of the ear, which in fishes is made tc some extent on the same . pattern as in man. The fact has been known foi some time that the ear is not merely an organ of hearing. It hai to do with the sense of equilibrium. Light has been thrown on this matter by removing portions of tbe auditory apparatus of sharks, which are thus rendered unable to maintain their balance in the water. The part on which this faculty seems to depend is the "labyrinth," and the same effect is produced by cutting the nerves communicating with it. Drank the Whiskey and Died. Knoxville, Tenn.

Now cause the pendulum.! to swing after so regulating the length of the thread, that the lower point ot the match shall come very near the bottom of the plat and mark its passage in two small circular, piles of powdered sugar, designed to represent the circle of sand that Foucault arranged I upou the ground all around his pendulum. The plate represents thet earth. As long as it remains stationary, the match, at every' oscillation, will pass exartly through the furrow that it has made in the two piles of sugar. If, in order to represent the rotary motion of the earth, we gently revolve the : plate, aud consequently the forks and cork, we find that that has no influence upon the pendulum, which continues to oscillate "in the same place as before, and we have a proof of this iu seeing the match at every oscillation make a small furrow, distinct from the preceding. We can thus demonstrate in a simple and practical manner the principal of the inv ri ability of the plane of oscillation of the pen dulum, upon which ivai based the ce'ebra td experiment of the French scientist. Strati je Ejea of Bees. . , The directness of the bee's flight ii proverbial. The shortest distance be. tweea any two given points is called a bee line. Many observers tbiak that the immense eyes with which tbe insect if furnished greatly assUt,lf they do not en tirely account for, the arrowy sttaight ness of its passage through tbo air. Every bee has two - kinds of eyes, the two jiarge compound ones, looking like hemispheres, on cither side, and the three simple ones which orowa the top of the head. Each compound eye is composed of 350Q facets that is to say, an object is reflected 3500 times on its lurface. Every one of these facets h the ba3C of a hexagonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to tbe head. Each pyra mid may be termed an eye, for each hat its own iris and optic nerve. How these insect? manage this mar velous number of eyes is not known. They re immovable, but mobility is un necessary because the range of vision afforded by the position and tbe number of the facets. They have no lids, but are. protected from dust and injury by rows of hairs growing along the line at the junction of the facets. The simplo eyes are suppose to have been given tbe bee to enable it to see above its held when intent upon gatheriug honey from the cups Of flowers. r Probably this may be one reason, but it is likely there are other ues for the n not yet ascertained. A b3e flies much in the same way ai a pigeon that is to, say, it first takes aa upward spiral flight into the air,and then darts straight for the object in view. Now aa experi menter on insect nature covered a beei simple eye with paint and sent it int'c the air; instead of darting straight oT after rising, it continued to ascend. Apparently, then,, these eyej are usel in som-i measure to direct tbo flight. I'd sous tVeckly. "Compressed Tea.' A novelty for travelers who enjoy the: cup that cheers is "compressed tea." Tuis is put up by certain liussiaa firms resident ia China. It is made of the fine dust of tea-leaves, but is- none the less expensive for all that, for it ia com prise I by the powerful force of steam machinery into compact ublets which take up about one-aixth tbe space which the same amouat of looe tea-leaves Would occupy. Toese tablets are in turn enclosed in tinfoil, then in fancy paper wrapperj, and finally packed in metal lijned cases. Put up in this way, tbe tea is considerably easier to carry, and the fine dust of the tea which i usually sold at a low, price is mvle use of to good profit.. Taese tablets of tea i have been extensively used for some time in Kussia, for every Russian enjoys bis cup of tea and knows but little about coffee, though the Tarc, who is at bis very doors, makes the very best coffee in the world. Thui far these Ublets of tea have not been imported to any extent into our country.
