HANCOCK, - Proprietor. Local Reporter. EnUrrd at the Yutorficc at Xw tier. . J tecuml-cliut mailer. The governor general of the new commonwealth of Australia is to re ceive $50,000 ayear for bis services. It is an interesting fact that of (he 365 colleges of the United Stales, 204 are co-educational. Women at present constitute fifty-live per cent, of the under-graduntes in this country. President Diaz thinks that with 0000 miles of railway Mexico has enough for some years to conic and cannot afford to extend government aid to new lint. Attention has recently bcetca'led to the singular fact that unti' half a century ago tho inhabitants of the Philippine Islands wcro a day behind those of neighboring countries iu their reckouinsr. United Slates ccuts exhibited in con nection with a meeting of the Ameri can Numismatic and Archaeological Society show, nllcres t lie Chicago Herald, that tho earlier productions of these coins are much superior in their designs to oilicrs more recently issued. The most prized coins on account of their rarity are the issue of 17'J9. 1793 and 1814. Superintendent l'crlcr says that a compendium of the wink of taking the census will bo completed in time for the next Congress, which will be three years and a half ahead of the last census reports. lis states that tho compiling of special data will require longer time, but that the entire work will be completed about seven years sooner than ever before. Charles Emmott, the Oldham (K"g- Jand) cotton spinner, who is to marry , Lady Constance Campbell, daughter of the Duke of Argyle, is the son of a man who began life as a factory operative and is now the head of a millionaire firm. It is told of old "Breadbasket"' Emmott that he used to take his dinner along with him, wrapped in a handkerchief, when he went to Ihc Liverpool and Mnnches" ter markcts.and so saved i lie eighteen pence which he would have had to pay had he dined at nn inn. A company has recently been organ ized in New York: city which proposes to make its principal business the preservation of the health and comfort of citizens. It proposes to establish an institution to be known as a "Heaithery," similar in its nature to institutions of that name in London. It is proposed to make this an adjunct of the Board of Health. Three chem- : ists will be employed to make analyses of food, to conduct experiments as to . the value of various food preparations and to make examinations of any and ' all articles of diet which miy be sub- j mitted to ascertain whether they may j be safely used or not. Ono of the 1 provisions of the company is (hat it will hold each year an exposition of food products. ; Some idea of the magnitude of the postal service may bo gathered from the fact that the combined length of the railway postal routes of the coun try is 144,557 miles, while the trans portations of mails on those routes in 1880 reached the enormous total of 186,575,384 miics. Germany, which cjmes next, only ha 24,522 miles and a total transportation of 89,267,000 mile per annum. But while the rail way service is one of great magnitude, there are the star-route and steamboat service, which extend over 251,792 mile, wit!) a total annual transporta tion of over 12.000,000,000 miles. To eurry; on successfully this immense forvleo requires tho work of over t0,0bo persona. The postal corres- jtomlence of this country with forcigu land falls a litilo below that of Ger ;' itmity, Of the 90.000.000 pieces sent C'tfvwi last ybitr 70,000.000 wcro car ' ti.u,t Vy '.vumuIs" of foreign register. SCIOTIFIC SCRIPS. ' Watches an plated with palladium. ' Iron corrodes with real rapidity at or about tho temperature of boiling water. The class of buildings struck most frequently by lightning are, first, dwellings; second, barns and grana ries. Oil-tanks and oil-works come next. It is reported that through the Lick telescope the discovery has been made that one of the moons of Jupiter has a little moon of its own revolving around it. One dollar a minute is the charge for using the new telephone line be tween London and Paris. Distance about 280 miles. Forty cents a minute is the price between New York and Washington, about 240 miles. Object glasses for microscopes are now mude in Germany of glass that contains phosphoric and boracic acid. It is stated that with lenses made of this glass an object one-twenty-thou-eandth of an inch in diameter can bo distinctly seen. The wearing away of the cliffs on the shores of England has of late at tracted considerable attention, and the problem is being attentively studied with the view of preventing the ero five action of tho waves as well as the streams that trickle down. In England leaflets aio being dis tributed on the subject of the destruc- ! ion of crops in the rural districts, i Posters showing magnified ill list ra- : (ions of the Hessian fly and Winter j moth are being displayed in tho post- i offices to enable fanners to ieco"-nize them. M. Mascart, ono of the most emi nent Fieiich electricians of the time, says that t!ie use of the magnetic needle in tracing the underground geology, or, iu other words, the pas geography, of a country, is one of those triumphs of science which are almost tantamount to divination. One of the recent inventions for life-saving apparatus is the Irvine pneumatic gun for throwing a lino to ships iu distress or to persons in a burning house. The air is admitted from a reservoir to the chamber be hind tho projectilo at a pressure of 2400 pounds on the square inch. Pians proposed for irrigation both in Upper and Lower Egypt during the period of low Xilo include tho build ing of a high barrage across the river at the first cataract. Great opposition has boon excited against this proposi tion, as it involves the submersion of the beautiful island of Philoe and its magnificent monuments for several months each year. Contracts have been closed for the erection of a plant to manufacture smokeless fuel at Washington, Ind. The process was patented twelve months ago, but it will be the first factory put iu operation. Tho pro- ! c-'ss consists in extracting all of tho ; elements from coal save the carbon, : and this, when used as fuel, will make , no smoke. The capacity of the plant i will be fifty tons daily. Tho product j will retail for $4.50 per ton. Spines have been attributed by tel. ' eologuts to a necessity in the plant for protection against browsing an j nials,thongh American observers have 1 shown that iu Naturo spiny plants i abound, as on deserts, where browsing i animals arc least abundant, Mons. A. j Lothclier has recently communicated a paper to a French Institute, show- ! ing that spines arc produced on plants j more freely iu proportion to the dc- grec of light to which they are sub- ; jocted. As the deserts arc more ex- posed to light than the cloudy, rainy ! regions, there seems some evidence iu behalf of Lothelier's proposition. I A Reminder of Pioneer Days. An extra train arrived at Santa Rosa the oilier afternoon in charge of Con ductor James Van Winkle and Fred Hanschildt. It was not drawn by tho Hoskins motor, neither by a steam engine, but was a genuine '49 mule train with pack-saddles rigged upon each animal ready for business. They came from San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz and were en route to Rogue river, Oregon, via Crescent City, where the owners have takeu a contract to peel and pack out a quantity of tan bark at (7 per cord. The packing distance to a shipping point by scows is about one and a half miles. Fifty men and 100 mules will be employed on the job. Each mule packs about one-quarter of a cord of bark, "which weighs about 500 pounds. The mule train attracted considerable attention while it re mained in the city, aiid in one or two instances brought tears to the eyes of the pioneer mluer, who bad not gnz id upon such a sight before for theso many years.

IB Burling Slip, New York. sold by Iu H. CTTLER, Kew-Berae, N. C. fVVVSVV Tlie losses by tire in the Jersey pine forest Inst spring arc estimated at $200,000, nud the average annual loss by forest fires in (he slate is put at $1,000,000. "This loss is much more than tho mere value of the wood," re marks tho Boston Transcript. "Tho soil is impoverished by theee periodi cal burnings, which so deprive it of vegetable matter that its capacity for producing timber is mucli diminished.' During tlie seventy-five years that (he American Bible Society has been in cxistenco it has received in legacies and contributions $9,900,000, and gifts of Bibles and special funds con tributed made up a grand total of $20,864,000. Four goncral distribu tions of Bibles have been made in the United Stales. Every eighteen cents expended have represented a copy of the Scriptures. At tho last general distribution, beginning in 1882, 8, 000,000 Bibles iu twenty-seveu lan guages were sent out. . The United States is now tho great est iron producing country of the world. AVo hnve long been second only to Great Britain, and last year we passed our rival, going to tho front with an unprecedented produc tion of 9,202,703 gross tons of pig iron, an excess of 1,200,000 over tho highest figures ever reached by the furnaces of any country. Noting th's fact the Philadelphia Telegraph recalls that iu 1838 Nicholas Riddle and other citizens of Pennsylvania offered a bounty of $5000 for tho rt furnaco in continuous blast for a period of three months. It will thus be seen how brief is the history of this great interest iu our laud. It is true that iron was made in hat state many years before 1888, and wer exported pitr iron to England before the revolu tion; but it was not until 1841 that tlie prize for running a furnaco three months in continuous blast was won In Pottsville. . found by Lightning.
