The apparatus for producing this light cousists of a blast engine for driving. the air through the pumice and a number of other accessories, all of . which take up but a raall space, and which are enclosed in a glass case for protection from the element ,as the light is especially designed for coast illumina tion.

Statistics show that the people are paying an average iu tercst of 7 per cect. on their indebtedness, and that the average iucrease of wealth is 4 per rent. If this is true how long will it be before those who hold this debt will own all the wealth of the nation? A syndicate of politicians raised $50, 000 to expend iu breaking up the Alliance. They established their ageuc' in Cincin nati. He sent out his confidential propo sition to a number cf reform papers and offered e cc-h $1,000 if it would publish thirty ni tides against us.

It costs from $ GO ) to $700 to seud a car load of straw berries from Floii'a to New York, a freight car cost about $800. When we cons der that the road is only out of the car about five days and gets nearly rst cost for one load of freight, it looks iike an argument in favor ol ' government ownership. But never mind about that. The foot who raises straw beities, com, wheat, oats, cotton and such things ought to be fi ied for it, any how.

Italy and the United States Once More in Fall Harmony. BAROIV FAVA. Baron Saverio Fava, Minister Plenipo tentiary from the Italian Government to tho United States, has, after a year's absenc?, returned to resume his Ministerial duties at Washington. The Minister reached New York on the steamer La Oascojne. Baron Fava's departure from this coun try about a year ago was uua to the strainel relations between the United Mtntes and Italy, which followed the Ivncliinj of elevjn Italians by a mob in Nw O 'leans on March ir, 1892. The tliffereico; bavin been amicably a-3 juste t, Carou Ktva is sent baci as proof of the kindly relations which tha Italian Government wishes maintained b9 I ween itself and the United State.?, The welcome to Baron Fava by his Italian-American friends was on an extensive scale. The steamer Laura M. Starin was chartered, and about 500 Italian? went down the bav to meet him. It was the intention of the reception committee to take the Baron off the ocean steamer to tli3 Laura M. Htarin, but therd was a heavy sea tind the captain of the pleasure boat refused to go alongside the bi ship. Consequently the Minister remained ou La Gasco.na until Bhe reachel her pier. It was here that the Italian Minister was formally welcomed by Coroner iv'essemer, the Honorary President of the United Italian Societies. The Barou was not taken to a hotl from the pier. He was escorted aboard the Laura M. Starin, -which sttamed up aud down the North River until it was time for him to go to the Pennsylvania station and take the 3 o'clock train for Washington. To a reporter the Baron saidt 'Tha New Orleans trouble will not have any effect in prejudicing: Itlay against the United States iu the Bering rie-i arbitration. , L3t by gones be bygone. The King an 1 Queen of Italy take a great deal of interest in the com ing World's Fair and send a private com missioner to this country. In regard ta any special mission outside my regular diplo matic work, the only thing to cement more firmly the freudship of oar two coun tries." A Better Outlook m the South.. Our advices from various centres n the South indicate a steady improvement in general business conditions. The wide spread depression, resulting li st from the financial disturbance of eighteeu months ago, and greatly augmented by the ab normally low price of cotton, is gradually .cring away and confidence is being re stored. Money is more abundant in Sou he rn banks aud loaus ale icadilly ob tainable upon good security. A general spirit of economy aud an effort to pay debts are two significant features of the s tuationthat lend greatly to improve credit. The unprofitableness of the last cotton crop, aud the caution of factors iu making advances lor this season, are di verting the attention of planters to au unusal degiea from cotton to food crops The .iron industry is dull aud prices are still abnormally low. The lumber tra U at all points iu the South is in good con dition and prices have been advanced in several lines. The demand is active and shipments hive been very heavy, but the dis.urbed condition of the building trades iu the North and East ai: likely to cur tail shipments to those sections for a time. There Is little teudency to speculate in any directiou, aud whatever is be ugdo;:e of this character is conducted on a t onserv ative basis. Manufacturing intere-ts in the South are in a good cmiditiou, and apart from the iron trade, factories are well supplied With woik and making full time. A large amount of capital is seeking good investment in the South, and our reports of new enterpr ses projected aud estab lished show a healthy growth.

WAsnrxaTox, D. C Senate. Tho ceremonies-attending Senator Barbour' funeral -were simple but impressive, and were unusual in this, that for the first time in the history of the Senate a priest of the Roman Catholic Church conduct ed the religious portion of the cere monies. At 11 o'clock, the body, escort ed by the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, was brought from the gray stone mansion on Capitol Hill, where the Senator resid ed, to the capitol and placed in the mar ble room, where, in December last, the remains of Senator Plumb, of Kansas, were in like manner placed. The hearse was accompauied by one carriage only. Beautiful calla lilies and other flowers covered the casket. The Senate met at its usual hour, at noon. Portions of the ; galleries had been set apart for visiting delegations from Virginia, who came to pay their last tribute of respect to their dead Senator. Pressure for admission to the other portions of the gallery was very great and the corridors were crowded. Hon. Juo. W. Daniel, Virginia's re maining Senator, beiug ill, Senator Ken na, of West Virginia, eulogized the dead. Mr. Kenna closed by offering the cus tomary resolutions of respect and regret. The Vice-President announced as tho committee to take action with the com mittee appointed by the House, Senators Daniel, Virginia; Kenna, West Virginia; Gorman, Maryland ; Walthall, Mississip pi; Carlisle, Kentucky; ttewart, Neva da; McMillan, Minnesota; Cullom, 1 1 lx nois, and Washburn, Minnesota. Tne Senators at 12:50 all grouped themselves on the Republicau side of tho chamber, and the Speaker and House of Hepreseutatives entered, the Senate ris ing to receive them, Speaker Crisp took his place to-the left of the Vice-President. A fev minutes later the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court entered, wearing- their sombre black robes of gros grain silk, which seemed peculiarly appropriate. The Justices took places in the first senatorial row to the right of the Vice-President. Scarcely had the houses of Congress resumed their seats after rising to honor the Supreme Court when they were again called upon to receive the C abinet. Secretary Blaine, walking firmly, leaning on the arm of Sec retary Foster, was followed by SecretaryEl kius," Attorney General Miller ;Secretari 8 Tracy, Noble and Rusk brought up the i ear." Mr. Wanamaker was not present. The cabinet took their places in front of the Supreme Court aud were immediate ly followed by the members of the diplo matic corps, very few in number, in or dinary private costume, who were seated behind the Justices of the Supreme Court. The mourning members of the family, six in number, entered the chamber, and. very shortly afterwards the funeral cor tege entered, the august assemblage ris irg as one body in reverential silence. The. services conducted bv Bishop Keane, assisted by Father C. Gillespie, of St. Alovsius church were very im pressive,- and the scene striking and so'- emu, witli the ricniy cmuroiuereu vest limn Is o f the micsts and celebrants. Ex cept the opefi invocation in Latin, all the exercises were carneu on in ingusn. Bishop Keaue's sermou was eloquent, polished and fervent, and at its close the funeral cortege, with the attendant dig nitaries, left the Senate chamber in re verse ordci, and wended it way back to the house of the Senator, whence, at 'J a. m , Weduesday.it was escorted to its last rest place. The. body of Senator Barbour was in terred beside the rem tins of his wife nt Poplar Hill Prince George county, Mary land. At the grave, Father Cunane read the nra vers for the de id, after which the i 'ass '-m Hied company retired. Measnrlnjr School Children' Teeth.";. We are nothing in Boston, writes Arlo Bates, if not original, and the latest ec centricity of genius which has come to the notice of the public is that of tho connection of the teeth with idiocy. At the meeting of the School Committee this week an order was introduced which gives to Dr. Walter Channing permission to take in wax the impression of tho teeth of the school children after -obtaining the written permission of their parents and guardianB. It would seem that it would have been simpler to let the matter rest upon the parents and not. bring it into the schools at all, but that; would not . have been sufiicjently, public, it is to be supposed. The pubiic might then have lived and died in ignoranco of the fact that D. CLanning has rnado his profound discovery; and of course that possibility had to be guarded against. tThedetaiU of the theory aro not made" rtuhjic as yet, but the iafomiH tion is vouchsafed that the back of tho front teetfi is the most significant portion of the mouth. The unhappy school children of the present day "hive to bo measured and weighed and molded and tested and to be treated iu so' many ways to furnish statistics, that one wonder that they have any vitality left to tako them through their other orleals in th j way of cramming for examinations.'
