CURIOSITIES OF LONDON.
4 The Pablle Mouses Blics Trades, Ktc.
la a notice of the new "London Directory,"
te London Times fcivn the following cuiioH
g leaning's from that volume:
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
. U anybody is curious to know the relatlvo im-
CrtaDce of each trade in London, jtulfretl by
c number of thoe who follow tt, you can eet
this information without much ditlicnlty trom
ae trades directory. The publicans appear
to De far and away the moot numerous.
Tals volume containt the names of ubout
4700, not inclutHnR 300 hotels, tavern,
or coffee-house of a superior class, which
are ranged by themselves, and 100 private
botels not licensed. of Deer retailers
tbeTe are not lea than 1700; of wine merchants
an equal number. Even this etstimate Ov no
neans exhausts the list of those whose business
Hi'ia to supply London with stimulants more or
less gentle. Some 150 brewers are in the list:
and then the brewers' agents, the distillers, and
spirit merchants, the dealers in liquors, cider,
a-udfperry have still to be reckoned. It U pro
liably below the mark to say that 10,000 persons
in this ''Directory" are shown to be engage I,
either wholly or partially, in what teetotallers
call the "liquor trallic." Of course, this does
not include a whole army of brewers' men,
draymen, waiters, barmen and barmaids, tap
sters, ci'llarmen, pot-boys, and bangers-on of
all sorts, whore interests arc also bound up ia
tats trallic. We don't veuture to estimate their
numbers, but the Alliance may do so and
tumble.
VARIOUS TRADES.
After the publicans, the bootmakers take
rank. Of these there are over 3uuo all, we
presume, keeping something like a shop and
300 wholesale makers. Too grocers and tea
dealers are less numerous by a hundred or so.
Neit comes the tailors 2600; the bakers, 18i0;
the butchers, 17ft0; the tobacconists, 1500; and
the milliners, 1400, as numerous a body as the
greengrocers. The lodging house keepers own
to a strength of 1350, but must reallv be a much
more imposing body. With these the dairymen
Mid the builders take the same rank. The linen
drapers only muster some 1100; but then the
haberdashers, 400; the hosiers, 600; and the out
titters, 250 strong, march in separate companies.
Of private schools tnere are nearly 1200.
PUBLIC-HOUHB BIONS.
The public-house signs, all ot which are duly
set forth in the "Directory," have often fur
nished a chapter to the antiquary. They are of
interest, too, in showing the vast limits of a
metropolis which can permit the repetition ot
bo many ol the popular signs without practical
confusion. As one might expect, the chief run
is upon such emblems as loyal men woul.i natu
rally select. The King's Arms heads the list;
thi re are 87 such signs in London. The Queen's
Arms only number 23. Delicacy seems to have
suggested to mine host the choice of her Majes- j
ty's heat, arid accordingly there are 49 Queen's
aid 60 King's Head". The Koval Oa' st.mds tor '.
26 signs; the Royal Standard for 12. The Cron
gives a name to 73 nonce?, let alone 18 Crown
and Anchors, 6 Crown and Cushions, 10 Crown
and 8ceptres, 46 Rose and Crowns, and
17 houses where this emblem of royalty
is found in more questionable society, such
as the Crown and Anvil, the Crown and Apple
Tiee, the Crown and Harley Alow, and the Crown
and Can. To Prince Albert 23 public houses
are dedicated; to the Prince ot Wales, 49; to
the Princess of Wales, 8; to the Princess Royal,
8; to Prince Alfred, 10; to Prince Arthur, 3;
the Princess Alice, 2: and the Princess Beatrice,
1. The Duke of Wellington has 20; Lord Nel
pon 22, next to whom in popularity comes the
Marquis ot Granby, with 16. Of animals the
king of the beasts is naturally the favorite,
tfcrventy-four siens bear the proud emblem of
the Red Lion; there are 17 Golden Lions and
2t White Lions.
Next in number comes the White Hart, of
which we find 62; there are 50 Georges, and 15
George and Dragons, 63 Coach and Horses. 4H
Grapes. 40 White Horses, 13 White Bears, 36
Dulls and Bull's Heads. 17 Black Bulls, 28 Black
Horses, 30 White Swans, 31 Globes, 32 Bells. 21
Feathers, 16 Green Dragons. 25 Green Wans, 21
rjwane, 13 Spread Eagles, 11 Turk's Heads and
2 Saracen's ditto, 26 Two Brewers, 23 Three
Compasses, 17 Blue Anchors, 13 Blue P"ts, 4
Bine Lasts, 1 Blue Pump (whatever that may
mean), and 1 Blue-eyed Maid.
THE NUMBER TIIREK.
mrce seems to oe reckoned v lucky number,
lor mere are a xnree t ompasses, ID Three
Tuns, and 9 Three downs. The number is
touud joined with alui09t everything animate
and iLanimate Castles, Cranes, Cups, Kings,
Kingdoms, Mariners, Goats' Heads Spies, Jolly
Butrhers, Sugar Loaves, Horseshoes, Logger
heads.tand Red Herrings. As befits so great a
port, the Ship serves for 70 signs, to say nothing
of such odd additions as the Ship and Shears,
the Ship and Blue Ball, the Ship and Shovel,
and a somewhat more classical sign the Ship
Argo.
Naval heroes are greatly favored; and Dutch
men may like to know that respect is paid to
Van Tromp, if the sign of that name, indeed,
refers to the famous admiral, and not to the
famous horse. The sua, whether rising, set
ting, or in midday splendor, shines from eleven
signs, and it also has queer allies in the shape of
Bun and Swords, Horseshoes, Last", Swiss Can
tons, and Apple Trees. It is hardly necessary
to say that among the names of persons the
great family of Smith is still pre-eminent.
' THI SMITHS, .browns, etc.
In the commercial directory, where the uaiiiiii
are entered in alphabetical order, over 1500
Smiths are registered, and the curious may like
to know that 130 answer to the Christian name
of John. Be it remembered that theae are all
householders and heads of families. If we add
the women and children, the lodgers and work
ingmen of the same clan all over London, whose
names do not appear in directories, we shall
have a population of Smiths equal to that
ef many considerable towns which return their
two members of Parliament. The Joneses are
only half the number of Smiths. Next to them
come the Browns, who tall short of 700; the
Johnsons and Williamses muster some 600 each;
while the htrdly less familiar name of Rooin
.son is only borne by about 250 persons.
Proiessor Blackle, of Edinburgh, recently
excused himself from haviug made a silly state
ment by attempting romake the "bluuderiug
reports-' responsible. The reporters held a
meeting, compared notes, and addressed a letter
fo the Proiessor, who was obliged to retract.
His true that reporters sometimes make non
sense of speeches, but it oftener happeiiu that
they make speecues of nonsense.
A Charleston (S. C.) letter says: "Many of
the sous of families formerly wealthy, and still
proud, fill the places of conductors on the cars,
and seem rejoiced to obtain a paying occupa
tion. The city police lorce, too, is filled up
with young men ot respectable connections,
who before the war would have deemed them
selves too good lor many a less humble voca
tion." The London Court Journal announces that
her Roy:vl Highness, the Princess of Wales, Is
, and the Princess Helena also is . In
the first case, "early in the ensuing year," and
in the latter, "in April," are the specified occa
sions. Miss Nellie Dean, of Chicago, cuts figures
on a Pittsburg skating pond as a professional
performer, aud gets two hundred dollars a week
and her expenses This is more profitable than
dancing in the ballet.
OavazzI, the famous priest, has disappeared,
and there la a great excitement among his
friends. When last heard from he was operating
against the Austrians in Venetia,
It in stated that the only son of the Hon.
William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, is to marry
the only daughter of Hon. George JI. Pendleton,
of Odk.
Mr. and Mrs. Chapin lately celebrated the
6th anniversary of their wedding at Grand

TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
FOREIGN SCIENCE,
Flint Initrnmtnlli
Two papers have been addressed to tho
I aria Academy of Sciences on fossil remains
and flint instruments. The nrt is from M.
Hueoon, who says that new excavations made
at the first entrance to the Labyrinth
(Trous de Sainte-Reine) have convinced him
cf the post-Alpine nature of the superficial clay
contained theiein.
The real Alpine drift only begins at a depth of
iwo nice niiy cent., wniie the superficial stra-
turn,
containing tossii Doncs ot the bear, c
talnly was disturbed by man at a comparatively
recent period, since ashes and organic remains
of moss and leaves are met with there;here also
we re found the impression of a human face, and
an amulet made of the antlers of either the
f tag or reindeer. He considers it certain that
the bear and hyena survived the period of the
Alpine drift, since the bones of tnfve animals
exist in the undisturbed strata. Nevertheless,
there are in these caverns a few passages en
tirely failed with what M. Elic de Beaumont calls
Urrains meulles sur des pentes, or shitting soil
situated on declivities. In the undisturbed
parts ot this M. Hudson has found numerous
portions of the jaws of bears and hyenas, a
remnant of the Jaw-bone of a borse, and nume
rous bones of the hippopotamus, rhinoceros,
tag, and reindeer. Some ot these bones were
split lengthwise, and bore traces of the teeth
and claws of carnivora; but one of tho most
curious specimens brought to light was a frag
ment of pottery and a bit ol coal inerusted to
gether in a stalagmitic conglomerate.
The second paper was sent in by M. Simonin,
cn certain flint instruments found in Central
America, and especially in the vicinity of
Panama. In 1869 a number of Indian tombs
were ditcovered in the environs ot the gold
placer of Clnriqui. Some of the Indians buried
there had been gold-seekers, and their imple
ments, and even some large nuggets, were put
into the tomb with them. The Implements
were: first, a chisel to cut the metal with;
second, a punch; and third, several burnisher-".
The chisel was triangular, 3.J centimetres broad,
and lOi in length. The punch was 1h centi
metres in length, H in breadth, and still bore
ti aces of gold upon Us surlace. The polishers
were mere smooth pebbles of the r.c of a
pigeon's egg.
! TunlngFork.
M. Niaudet-Breguet has described an oppa
j rutus of liis for prolonging the vibrations of the
i tuning-fork by means of clock-work; M. Du
hamel, and other philosophers after him, having
! ned the tuning-fork as a means of measuring
I small intervals of time. The new contrivance
I consists of an apparatus producing isochronous
I oscillations, and a combination of wheels acting
upon the other part by means ol an escapement.
Ihe tuning-fork regulates the motion of the
wheels, which in tlieir turn give the tuning
lork a slight shock, necessary to prolong i
oscillations. The inventor thiuks that his Con
trivance will be found useful in chronoscopic
experiments. ,
Shooting Stars.
At a recent meeting of the Paris Academy of
Sciences, a paper was received froni M. Edm
(iir.Ucmnn, who, on the 13th of November lan,
obeetv.d the phenomenon of shooting stars oiF
the Island of Florez, the northernmost of the
Azores. The horizon was covered with a nar
row band of clouds up o about 10 degrees.
Prom bthind this band a series of tiery trains
were seen issuing, apparently from the same
point, and bearing some resemblance to those
ot a rocket. Most of these trains passed
through the zenith, presenting the most ad
mirable spectacle. Tne average time employed
In closing over from one horizon' to the other
was about six second?.
Wasps,
A physician oi Bordeaux has made a dis
covery in regard to the wasp. GaUffiumi re
ports it as follows:
The wat-p Is stated to be a declared enemy to
all poisonous flies, the sting of which causes
carbuncle; it also destroys an immense quantity
of minute worms that get into iruit, and when
introduced into the stomach may cause great
inconvenience, and even diseases. Lastly, our
Bordeaux practitioner asserts that the sUng of
the wasp is a sovereign remedy for pout,
sciatica, and rheumatism. This may no doubt
be explained by the principle of couuter irrita
tion; but how does he apply this rerndy? It
seems that this is his secret, which he is not
willing to divulse. Let us, however, hence
forward desist, from destroying bd insect which,
however annoying, renders us some useful ser
vices. Dead of a Needle A lew days since a tailor
at Croydon, England, was carelessly bending a
needle with his teeth, when it suddenly snap
ped, and the greater portion of it passed tome
distance into his throat. Severe inflammation
followed, and the injury terminated fatally.
