Vast Loss Entailed Upon the Cities Through Bad Streets. 1 omparinn of th Coat of Transporta tion I'pon Rnlva) That Are Im proved and Thnw That Are Neglected. Many people can only he induced to incur larpe expenses for street paving hy well-founded prospects of g-ain from it. They repard it as they would an investment. Though it is less desira ble when viewed independently of these very practical considerations, it may well be subjected to such tests of value, says Paving and Municipal En gineering. Its paying qualities are. to some extent, capable of demonstration. Its economies may le indicated by com parisons of the cost of transportation, of relative wear and consequent!: ' los and of maintenance of paved anu un paved streets. Thile there are wide differences in the resistance to traction of asphalt, wood block, brick and gran ite block road surfaces, the average where the streets of a city are paved in altout equal proportion with these ma terials is less than one-third the aver age resistance of the streets of a city havinjr only macadam, cobble-stone, earth and sand road surfaces in about equal proportion. As one horse can. therefore, draw for ten hours three times as heavy a load on streets of the first class as on those of the second class there must Ih an average saving of two-thirds in the cost of all trans portation by means of animals and ve hicles where paved streets are used. In other words, the city with well paved streets will pet at the same cost three times as much service as one with streets that are not well paved. The possible pain from this in dollars and cents is indicated by the statistics of freipht transportation. In the year lS'.Hl the railways of the I'nited States moved 701".:i44.4:i7 tons of freipht. which was probably hauled over roads or streets at the points of loadinp and un loadinp the cars an averape distance of half a mile each way. As a load weiph inp a ton cannot be transported a mile by means of animals and vehicles for less than 40 vents, which will lie used in this calculation as an averape charpe. the street haulape of the freipht moved by the railroads of the I'nited States in isim must have amounted to about ?-.'Sii.:i7.77."'.sO. It will be assumed, however, at the risk of tn-inp much too lilieral in a tendency to underestimate, that the averape street haul was only a quarter of a mile each way and that the cost was tiierefore ?14o.-jr,S.sS7.40. A savinp of two-thirds of this sum would carry to the credit of the economy account of street pavinp S,.'.'..ir,..V.il.Mi a year. or. without makinp any allowance for the annual increase of traffic. ?'.:... rj."...l" in ten years. The freipht moved by the railroads, it is supportable, was carried larpely into or from the -'." cities which constitute the principal markets or distributing centers of the country, but. after all. railroad Ireiplits repre sent only a portion of the street haul inp. doubtless much less than one-half, so that after much trimminp we are broupht at last to the conclusion that the cst of street traffic, larpely in cities of more than Iti.lKXi population, can W reduced ?l7,it'j.ls;i a war. or 8 l.70.-Jfl. in ten years, which, with interest at the rate of .1 iht cent, per annum, would make a total savinp in a decade of Sl.'.M;3.M.4'J3.riO. which would pay for -.044 miles of street pavinp at a cost of S70.000 a mile. A NOISY LIZARD. The Annoying foiivermttiun of a Tactoo with Himself. The tuetoo. or trout-spotted lizard, is eipht or nine inches in lenpth. with a broad and frop-like head, and eyes that stand out like those of a crocodile. Mr. uniinp, author of "Iu the Shadow of the I'apoda." was friphtened by a tuetoo dnrinp his tirst nipht in Hur mali. ami takes his revenpe by describ inp the creature with all the sarcasm at his command. He had pone to led and was just fall inp asleep when a tuetoo ske up from a spot al-out a yard and a half from the pillow. The new comer I miu in led out of bed and snatched up hi.s revolver. Happily a native was at hand and Miinted out the lizard. Kven then Mr. t'uminp could not Wlieve that so small a creature could seak with such a voice. The tuetoo. as if divin inp his listener's doubts, spoke apain. I have hated him from that hour," says Mr. Cuminp. His favorite resort is alout the an ple of the veranda wall and the eeil inp. and from that coipn of vantape he bi'puilcs the passing- hours after sun sct by law linp out his name at short intervals. If he would do mi once and have dime with it. we should not ob ject; but anything- like self-restraint is foreipi! to tuetoo character. "He wants to attract notice; ami he always Micceeds. He bepins b- re marUinp: Hr-r-r-r'." in a pleasant, eon ver.iitional tone; then 1'r-r-r-r:' a little louder, cs if he thoupht you had not eaupht what he said. After this he pauses a moment, and what was real ly wciphinp on his mind comes out 'i'uetoor "You mipht imapine that he was pavinp a visit, and pivinp his name to a very deaf u-rvant. for in a second out it comes apain. 7rtoo:' a third time, 'ri"." (Confound it, cant you hear?) "Then he recollects that he must not lose his temper with a servant, and re peats -Tuetoo" In a lanpuid drawl. He lini .lies off with a "t'rrr crrr vrrr of milled pride, w Inch seems to mean: 'Not a bad name when it's projH-rlv an nounced, von know." GLEANINGS.

WALKING BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Some Curiosities of Tattooing In the Islands of the Pacific (Irian. It is quite common in Fiji and Samoa for a man to War upon his arm or lxnly a certificate of his birth which is practically indelible, said a ploln t rotter to a St. Louis ( UoW-I cm cra t man. Tattooinp is carried on in these islands to an absurd extent, and it is the practice to tattoo on the hand of a mother the date of her children's births. Sometimes also an enthusiastic father will tattoo the date of the birth on the child itself, and no matter how limp it lives the certificate will remain easily decipherable. In some adjoininp islands every child is tattooed almost from head to foot on complctinp its twelfth year. The re sult is very remarkable, especially if the child is prowinp rapidly, so that the spaces letween the tattoo marks lm-r, ase in size vear b- year. I re-menilH-r one man who joitieil our crew when we were shorthanded who had every available space on his anatomy tattooed year after year, intil he ap-jH-ared to le nothinp but a walkinp collection of protesipie sipns and syin isls.

All the coins that dropped upon the fly-pa jier stayed there. and it was ainazinp how the bip pieces crowded the little ones otf.

A sinple barpe on a canal broupht up to modern' requirements will carry as much carpo as a train consist inp of forty cars. The dead weipht of the load to 1h moved, that is. of the barpe or truck, is very considerably in favor of the barpe: the satin- amount of ixwer applied in traction will move five times the load on a waterway that it will on a railway: the oripinal cost of construction and" maintenance of a canal is considerably hv s than that of the railway.
