Thk Bellows Falls (VU Times building and a number of stores were burned. Loss $30, 300; partially insured. . The Presbyterian General Assembly (Southern) concluded business at Chattanoo ga, Tenn., and adjourned. A band of six horse thieves, who stole 500 horses from San Miguel County, New Mexi co, were arrested by Sheriff Loper, and 350 of the horses were found in their possession. Thk Rev. H. Greenfield Schorr, aged twenty-nine, the assistant rector of St. Paul's the oldest and most fashionable Episcopal church In Baltimore, Md., has committed suicide. The cause was unrequited love. President Harbison, Attorney-General Miller, Private Secretary Halford, General George B. Williams and Representative Anderson, of Kansas, left Washington for a trip down Chesapeake Bay on Mr. Wana maker's yacht Restless. They spent Sunday in Hampton Roads, off Fortress Monroe. GnmuL Lsw Wallace and Nathaniel B. Tucker have been appointed Commis sioners by President Harrison to go to Hayt i and endeavor to secure coaling stations at Mole St Nicholas and Samana Bay for the United States. The marriage of ex-Secretary Bayard to Miss Mary Willing Clymer, is announced to take place on June 12 in St. John's Episcopal Church, Washington. Sbvkkax. warehouses in Lubeck harbor, Germany, were burned and $400,000 worth of cotton and flax was destroyed. POPULAR SCIENCE. THE GREAT EXIBITION. America's Part in the World's Fair at Paris. The base of celluloid is commor paper. Wet compressed gun cotton is the safest high explosive yet produced. A report from Elba states that th whole of the island is infected with phyl loxera. . Lime burners are free from consump tioo, on account, it is- suggested, o breathing dry, hot air. Never enter a sick room in a state oi perspiration, as the minute you become cold your pores absorb. A useful piece of apparatus has comt into use in Germany in the shape of t traveling electric light. An exaggerated sense of the danger ol falling from high places has lately re ceived the name of "acrophobia." Experiments made for the French Min ister of Agriculture indicate that sugar i a better preservative of meat than salt. A new bronze, patented by Passed As sistant Engineer John A. Tobin, United States Navy, has lately received very high commendation. The air of the sick chamber should b kept so fresh that there will be no per ceptible difference upon coming into il from the outer air. It is proposed to bring the waters ol l'Oegern Sec to Christiania, Norway, through an eight-mile-long tunnel through gneiss rock. It is said that a fatigued eye recovers last the perception of the color by which the fatigue has been induced, and first re covers the sensitiveness of the comple mentary color. A complete list of the flora of New foundland and Labrador, in preparation by Rev. A. C. Waghorne, will contair about 900 species of flowering plants, about fifty ferns, and over 250 mosses and lichens. To distinguish cotton from flax, dip the mixture in a boiling solution of caus tic potassa, and let it remain for twe minutes. The flax will assume a dark yellow color, while the cotton will be s light yellow or nearly white. A mechanic of Danzig has constructed a hand fog horn that may be heard tec miles. With a second horn of lower pitch to mark the divisions between letters, whole sentences can be clearly trans mitted by the Morse or other code of sig nals. Dr. Charcot's new treatment of locomo tor ataxia, or muscular irregularity, if coming into vogue. It consists in sus pending the patient by the arms for a fe minutes daily until cured. This, it ap pears, stimulates the circulation of the blood in the parts affected. Professor Pickering, of the Harvard College Observatory, estimates that 400C or 5000 nebulal.e not yet found by dired I observation would be shown in photo ) graphs of the entire sky. By photo j graphic aid he has dicovered a number oi these objects surrounding the great nebula of Orion. Vesuvius Clad in a Mantle of Sncw. Naples, Italy, and the country round about have been treated to a phenomenal meteorological experience. A violent storm of wind, sleet and snow came from the north. Vesuvius was completely wrapped in a mantle of white. Ths olive and orange orchards of Sorrento were badly damaged. Many olive trees were uprooted or broken off, while the fruit of the trees was blown to the ground in immense quantities. Had the jtorm come two weeks later the olive crop of the season would have been en tirely destroyed, for the trees would then have been in bloom. San Fro.ncitco ChrvnkU. The Machinery Palace of the Paris Exposi tion is the largest building ever constructed under a single roof . A remarkable feature of the building is that thereof has no interior support, except twenty great arches, hinged at the foundation plates and apex so as to pro vide for expansion and contraction under changes in the temperature. The root is glazed. The lower jwinels are decorated with heraldic designs. The ends of the building are fined with toned glass. Light is abundant, and the effect of the decoration is magnificent. The length of 'the building is nearly 1400 feet, its width 3T0 feet, and its height 170 feet. A gal lery thirtv feet from the floor extends the en tire length on both sides. At the four corners are steam generators for driving the entire ma chinery. The power is communicated by shafting placed on four rows of trellis girders lying parallel with the lensth of the building and placed in subways. The engines are now vorking and there is more power than is re quired. An idea of the colossal character of the exhibition may be gained from the fact that the power available this year is four times as great as that furnished during the exhibition of 1878. The American machinery exhibit occupied one-third of the entire space in this building, and is, in all respects but one, more imposing than the exhibit at an v previous international exhibition. The exception is in agricultural machinery, in which ive do not show progress corresponding to that manifested in other lines. We are, indeed.at a double disadvantage in this, for beside exhibiting nothing notably new, European nations have been successfully overtaking us in the production of our own machines. This is especially true of Great Britain. Fiance, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In this respect, as in others of equal importance, we have supplied Europe with ideas. It will be remembered that Cyrus McCormick failed to secure in the United States the adoption of his agricul tural machinery until after its ex hibition in London in 1851. That international exhibition inaugurated a new era in machinery. In 1867 Thomas R. Pickering, engineer and inventor, who has been superintendent of machinery for the United States at the successive exhibitions at Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, Melbourne and New Orleans, brought about the exhibition of one fif tv horse power Corliss engine in this city. This engine was sold to a Frenchman. Tc-day, if no American machinery occu pied the space allotted to the United States, the entire area could be filled with the modi fications of the Corliss engine manufactured by Europeans. Two-thirds of the steam engines exhibited are of tho Corliss pattern. In 1867 there was an exhibit of ma chine tools by Brown & Sharp, . ol Providence. They were all sold. To-day tools made after the Brown & Sharp pat terns by Europeans are universal in tne ex hibition. When the model of the yacW America was shown in the United Statet it was rather scoffed at. Its superiority wai promptly detected by British builders, and il is row becoming a model on the Clyde. A Baldwin gas engine, built by Oti Brothe", attracts attention by employing gas to I li a dynamo for the purpose of light ing by means of incandescent lamps, the claim being that the light thus produced it more economical than gas itself. "Warner & Swazey, of Cleveland, and William Sellers & Co., of Philadelphia, are conspicuous by their exhibits of brass-working machinery. '-Printing-house Square" in th American exhibit will ran with electric pow er supplied by Pickering for the special ac commodation of the presses, which are not easily connected with the shafting. Neither Scott nor Hoe has any ex hibit, but the plant. when ready, will be considerable. The Campbell and th Golden Companies' exhibits are the.most im portant. Several typesetting machines ar exhibited, inoludin?; the MacMillan, the Thome, and Mergenl halor linotype machine. The last named presents the most striking features, as it does away with movabl type. The Edison exhibit oocupios one-half the en tire American frontage, covering 900 square feet. It is the largest single exhibit in the ex position. It is devised to illustrate in minia ture most of the grer.t practical merits of Mr. Edison's inventions. For instance, the lightin of New York city is shown by subways visibl in the flooring," with charts and apparatuj indicating the distribution of lamps and th control of force. His entire category of in ventions, numlering 4'.3, is presented eithei completely or by intelligent suggestion. II comprises his contributions to telegraphy, electric lighting, system of meters, dyna mos, motors, transmission of power, railway electro-motors, telephonic receivers and transmitters, and galvanic and secondary batteries as used in the phonographs and milling machines, the electric pen, type writer, shafting, the vocal cngini and fruit preserving. The pho nograph and the American writing ma chines are the popular delight of the expo sition. Among the less imposing, bu1 not less ingenious, machines, which are looked upon as Yankee no tions by Europeans, are machine! for salting and coloring butter, which i' matched by a French machine for desalting and automatic weighing; an automatic American machine for making corkscrew! out of wire, a machine for weaving the cover ing on rubber hose, and a bonbon machine. A Scrantou (Penn.) Savings Institu tion Robbed of $135,000. Cashier George Jessup, at the Scranton (Penn.) City Bank, was placed under arrest in the bank after the close of business at that institution. The arrest was made by order of the board of directors. He is charged with embezzling the sum of $135,000. The direct ors also decided to' close the bank, placing it in the hands of an assignee until its condition could be ascertained. The announcement of the cashier's arrest created intense excitement in business and banking circles, and especially among the depositors, many of whom had made deposits up to the close of business at the bank. A number of the depositors swarmed around the building decrying the dishonesty which was practiced by the officers of the bank in receiving their money, knowing that the bank was insolvent. Several women de positors, who were frenzied with excitement, fainted upon the street. The bank had been the depository of the city and school funds, but with the change in the municipal officers on April 1 $186,000 of the funds were withdrawn and deposited else where. The county is caught for upward of $10, 000. The funds of a number of secret and building societies were deposited with the bank, and it is believed the societies will be heavy losers. The downfall of the cashier is attributed to high living and speculation in unprofitable coal lands. His bond is only $25,000. iis father-in-law and his brother. Judge Jessup, are his bondsmen. The capital stock of the bank is $100,000 and the deposits nearly $500,000. Air. Jessup had been cashier and Vice-President of the bank for nearly six years. He is about fifty-five years of age and is a member of one of the t most prominent families in northeastern Pennsylvania, and was an officer in the Second Presbyterian Church. He was also a prominent member l X bicycle dub of tht city. President of the Pennsylvania State League of American Wheelmen and Vice-President of the National Association. He has two children, girls of twelve and fifteen years respectively. A noble heart, like the sun, showethits Greatest countenance in its lowest state.
