LESS BUSINESS DONE. A Noticeable Decrease in the Volume of General Trade Caused by THE HOLIDAY AND HOT WEATHER. Lessened Speculative Interest at Leading financial Centers. "WESTERN CEOr TEOSPECTS GOOD. m-ECIAI. TM.XORn.lC TO TBI Hit PATCH-.! Sew Yoke, Julv 4. Special telegrams to Bradstreet's indicate that the volume of general merchandise, while larpe, has de creased pcrce jitiblr, as is to be expected at this season and the week, practically two days short, has rather tended to restrict operations. Sin Francico, Kansas City, Memphis, Cincinnati Philadelphia and Boston all report a restricted distribution, and many Western cities note a check to trade to the prevalence of prolonged and se vere hot weather. Iron and steel are steady, and anthracite coal is really in better de mand at improved prices. At the "Westhogs are in free movement to interior markets, and prices are weak and lower. Cattle are dull. Products barely hold their own as to prices. Wheat is up lc on less encourag ine reports from abroad and a heavy de crease of domestin stocks. Corn and oats are fractionally higher. In California the outlook is for a heavy wheat crop. Our Melbourne cable states that wheat stocks in Australia and New Zealand out of larmers hands July 1 equal 4,973, 000, uaint 2,391,000 bushels one year aco. The holiday interruption causes dullness in the stock market, but prices tend to advance on investment buyine and prospective amelioration of the railroad rate situation. Bonds are in fair demand. EFFECT OF LABOR TROUBLES. There were 84 strike?, involving 33,909 strikers, reported to Bradstreet's in June. For the six months there were 681 strikes, involving 174,263 strikers, against 319 strikes, Involving 93.3J8 strikers last year and 436 strikes and 172,432 strikers in 18S8. Bank clearings Jor June at 51 cities showed the effect of lessened speculative in terest at leading markets and quieter gen eral trade throughout the country in a de crease of 13.C per cent, from the May total. But they are larger than in June last year by 7.3 per cent. For the six months the clearings at 37 cities aggregate 529,638,050, 815, again oer last year ot 9.2 per cent., over 1888 of 26 per cent, and over 1887 of 14 per cent. The New Tork clearings, which aggregate 18,789,627,149, or 63.6 per cent of the total, show a gain over last year of 7.7 per cent. The daily average ol clearings at New York for six months aggregates 5123,615,968, which is nearly 7 times that at Boston, 10 times that at Chicago or Philadelphia, and 50 times that at Balti more or San Francisco. STATUS OF THE GBAIK MABKET. At this, the close or the crop year of 1889 90 Bradstreet's reports point to 52,000,000 bushels of wheat carried over, against 37, 000,000 bushels same week of last year. Farmers' stocks are 7,000,000 heavier than on July 1, 1880, and to-called available stocks 8,000,000 bushels. These totals point to the wheat crop of 1889 having been 470,000,000 bushels instead of 490,000,000 bushels, stocks ot Indian corn (.available! carried over are 19,251,938 bushels, against 12.361.565 bushels a vear ago; stocks ot oats are 7,287,424, against 7,470,989 bushels; of barley, tssT.ZSS bushels, against 404,10 bushels, and of rye, 908,702 bushels, against 986,345 bushels. Stocks of wheat flour at leading points of manufacture and accumu lation in first and second hands (exclusive of jrew York City) equal 1,429,378 barrels, .8 sAnst 1,317,800 barrels one year ago. Coffee is dull speculatively and slow of sale for actual lots, with rates practically unchanged, though the current month's con tract is 10 points higher on the week. Kaw sugar is 1-lGo lower on increased supply and anticipated smaller takings during the ensuing holidays. Refined sorts are Bteady and unchanged on fair demand. DEYGOODS HOLDIJTG FIBSI FBICES. An average midsummer trade is reported by agent'. Stock-taking has engaged job bers' attention. The cotton goods demand is steady with firm urices. Woolens are being delivered in good volume, while some lines of new business are more active. But the outlook for the woolen goods trade, as a whole, is unimproved and a large amount of machinery is idle. Baw wool is very dull, and the outlook is for lower rates than higher prices. Cotton is 1-lGc higher on better demand. Copper holds steady at lGJf17c per pound. A further diminution oi the visible supply is reported. Production, on the ct'ier hand, is increasing. Beports to Bradstreet's of mercantile fail ures throughout tne United States during six months of the current year show a total of 5,46G, against 5,918 in the first six months of 1889. The aggregate liabilities of fail ing traders are gS2,667,9G2, against 67,411, 711, and actual assets 30,025,116, against $32,803,940 in the first six months oi 1889. HORSES ABE DEGENERATING. The Tendencr at Present la Toward Sprint er. Not Endnrlns Racer. Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat. At the present rate of affairs on the turf it will not be long before we get back to the quarter races that years ago were the attrac tion at the country fairs. What with three fnrlongs, and half miles, and five-eights, and only once in awhile a mile race, the horses of to-day are only "sprinters," not racers. What has become of the four-nule heat racer, the three-mile and two-mile dashers. In those days there were horses with stay ing qualities. I believe turfmen will agree with me that no son is ever as good as his sire. Where now are the stallions to breed horses with endurance and speed combined? There are no Longfellows in these days. A good mile horse may get a good five-eighths liorse; he in turn may get a half-mile won der, but the result will be that they will keep on breeding so fine that in years to come a horse that can rnn a very fast quarter mile will be looked upen as a marvel ot speed and endurance. CEAZY OVEB CRICKET. The Natives of Snmon Neglect Tbclr Crops to PIht tbo EntjlUIt Game. I'll Mill Budcet.: A cricket mania has broken out in the suany isles where Robert Louis Stevenson has established his borne. "Cricket," writes a colonial newspaper correspondent from Samoa, "which was introduced here a few years ago by some of the more energetic British residents, has now become a nui sance, owing to tbo manner in which it is played bv the natives. It is no uncommon thing to see a game being played in which the players number from 80 to 150 a side, and which lasts for ten days or a fortnight. The natives have beccome so crazy over cricket that they neglect their food crops during the whole of the season, and the consequence is that during a great part of that year they are in ajtatc of poverty." .No wonder King Malictoa is seriously considering the absolute prohibition of the English game within his dominions.

H Backward Season nnd Few Early Home Bailed Tegetnble for Sale Good Trade at tbe Bfnrket Stall Froa-a In Big Drmand. In the line of garden stuff the features of the week have been the windnp of straw berries and tbe heavy supply of home-grown raspberries. Our nearby gardeners are also bringing to market their first installment of cabbage, and by another week home-grown tomatoes and potatoes will be in fair sup ply. In ordinary seasons Western Penn sylvania gardeners are permitted to partake of home-grown potatoes the Fourth of July. This season is behind the average, owing to a cold, wet soring, and not many will be able to eat the home-grown potato this Fourth. At the Diamond market fruit and vegetable stalls a good week's trade is re ported. N Iu the line of dairy products the supply exceeds demand and prices ot last week are barely sustained. Eggs are firmer, and iancy stock will bring 25c per dozen with out difficulty. In oceau products it is to be remembered that this is the quiet time ot the year. The supply of Eastern fish, however, is not up to demand. In accordance with Ohio laws, nets are now out of Bike Brie, and the Western fUh now on the stalls are from Port Huron, and other fishing stations where Ohio laws are not in force. There is a big demand for frogs and soft shell crabs, and prices are moving Howard. The supply of frogs is far below demand. Florists are entirely satisfied with the week's work. Demand is good and prices are a shade higher for all things in floral lines. The patrictic sentiment, whieh was never deeper or stronger than on our 1890 national birthday has made strong demands on floral offeri gs. Following are the latest retail prices ol market basket materials: Staple Menu.

Domestic Markets. Domestic markets furnished few items of importance yesterday. Shippers rocognized the fact that the national birthday was here, and witheld their stuff for a more con venient season. Produce commission men kept open for a few hours to dispose of what little perishable stuff arrived. About all in this line were raspberries and black berries. Demand was fairly good for all that appeared. While trade was quiet, as it uniformly is on a holiday, prices were well sustained. The Grain Exchange and wholesale grocers are celebrating the birth of tbe Bepublic, and hence there is nothing new to report in these departments of trade. THEODORE MOSS'S PET SPIDER, The Slnsrolar Occupant of a New Tork Ulan afferlal liar. Theodore Moss, manager and proprietor of the Star Theatre, and member of the Board of Electrical Control, is nourishing a pet spider, which sends shudders through his friends when he exhibits it, as he does when ever he can find anybody to look at it, and inspires him with thrills of joy, because he regards it as a harbinger of good luck. Mr. Moss appeared recently in a white beaver hat. That was not unusual, as he al ways wears a white beaver in summer; but it was unnsual to see him take off his hat whenever he met an acquaintance, point to the interior, and then to note the long and appirently interesting conversation that took place between him and his friend. The mystery of these frequent sidewalk confer ences was explained yesterday, when Mr. Moss met a New York Ttmes reporter. The manager and Commissioner promptly took off his hat jnd held it in his left hand, while he grasped the hand of the reporter with his right. The sun had just forced his way through the clouds and beat down upon the unprotected head of the manager, but he heeded it not. Pointing to the interior of tbe hat, he said: "Do you see that, my boy?" "That" was a diminutive specimen of the genus spider, which swung contentedly from the middle of a web which he had spun about half way up the hat, covering the en tire snace from rim to rim. "Five or six days ago," he said. "I found that this little spider had built him a home in my hat How he came there I don't know, for he is the first of his kind that we have seen at our Seabright cottage. There he was, however, safely ensconced, and I rescued him and his house from destruction when Mrs. Moss and the children proposed to annihilate both. I told them that it was bad luck to kill a spider, and good luck to carrv one around with you, and I put my hat on my head, spider, web, and all. There the spider has remained, contented and happy, ever since. "Has he brought you good luck, Mr. Moss?" the reporter asked. "Well, was the slow response, "I am not superstitious, as you know, but within two days after that spider took up his abode in my hat I was paid an old debt of 51,900 that I never expected to get." And the manager- and commissioner walked solemnly away, leaving the reporter staring after him in blank amazement. AMERICAN FLAGS FLYING. The Naitonal Holiday Appropriately Ob- cived Montreal. MONTREAL, July 4. It was not forgotten here to-day that this was the American na tional -holiday, and there was a noticeable increase in the amount of bunting displayed, as compared with other years. Flags were flying from all places of busi ness whose proprietors or partners are Americans, and the streets presented almost as gay an appearance as on a Canadian holi day.

ASTBOHG, CONFIDENT UNDERTONE. The Signing of the Scale Basis for Operations. Gives a OTHER MARKETS IN THE EAST AND WEST Changes in the iron and steel situation have been very slight. This is the season of the year when the mills ordinarily close down for repairs and stock taking, and as a resnlt transactions have been light. Most of the mills laid in large supplies in the latter part of May and early part of June. There is not mnch inquiry at this time, nor is there any special reason for buying. It has been the rule for these many years for manufacturers to express fears as to labor troubles in the month of May, and their cus tom has been to buy heavily in that month. Now that the Amalgamated Asso ciation has signed the scale for the year be'ore ns, there is a strong undertone of confidence in the future of iron and steel markets. Though midsummer's quiet is fully on, there is a healthy tone to markets and out look for a good fall trade was never better at this season of the year. Some of the mills now closed down will no doubt Btart up next week, and in a week or two more all are expected to be down to work. Unless all signs fail the balance of the year will show "great activity in iron and steel products. Our hardware dealers show no disposition to push fall trade, as their faith is strong that higher prices will be reached.

Tbe Gastronomic Recklessness ot Member Is CaoalDE flinch Trouble. New Tork World, The scandal occasioned by the public con sumption of a ham sandwich by a member of the Calumet Club at the window of the club house has traveled further up the ave nue. A member of tbe Knickerbocker Club is now undergoing a discipline for indulg ing in a light luncheon of cherries in the brazen publicity of the big bay window. To add to the enormity of the offense the cherries were contained in a vulgar brown paper funnel, in which they had been purchased from the barrow of an itinerant vender at the clubhouse door. The offender, in view of the deep contrition he expressed for his crime, has been let off with suspen sion from tbe privilege of the bay window until the fruit season is over. If the barrow man who tempted him to his fall is discov ered the miscreant will, if the club can compass it, be sent to State prison for life. The case of this misguided young aristo crat is more than paralleled by one which has given the Governors of the Union Club frequent disturbances of mind. There is a member ot this club who combines with somewhat mature age and a fortune which two-thirds of the other members envy him a predilection amounting to a positive mania, for dried herring. He carries a supply of this desiccated delicacy in his vest pocket and consumes it in association with his juleps, sours or cocktails to what many members of more exacting gastro nomic tastes consider an offensive degree.

As Accomplice of Bnrke'a la Traced From Winnipeg to the West Ho Left Two Ilonra After Bnrke'a Arrest Mysterious Actions of Implicated Parties. Winnipeg. July 4. Detective McKen lie, the officer who discovered Martin Burke a year'ago, and undoubtedly prevented the escape of the notorious Cronin murderer, has struck a clew to an important bit of evi dence that may eventually remove the veil of mystery from the Cronin case. At tne time Burke was arrested through some mis chance or stupidity the police forgot to look after his baggage, It was not until Chicago detectives went to Winnipeg that the sub ject of tbe baggage was broached and then it was too late to get any trace ot it. Sub sequent developments proved that Burke not only had a big trunk which he brought from Chicago, but that he had been careful to dispose of it as well as his railroad bag gage check. All efforts to find the trunk which is supposed to contain positive evi dence of Burke's connection with the mur der have so far failed. While the trial was on in Chicago detec tives from that city made periodical trips east and west on the Canadian Pacific in searchrof the missing trunk, but they were never able to get any trace of it, and finally concluded that it had been taken by friends oi the fugitive murderer. The finding of Br. Cronin's clothes and instruments in an Evanston avenue sewer while the murderers were on trial pnt an end to the search for the trunk so far as the Chicago police force was concerned, but Detective McKcnzie has never lost sight of the fact that it may yet prove an important factor in the famous case. He has found out that when Burke came to Winnipeg he was accompanied by a mysterious friend, who left here for the West within an hour after Burke's arrest, He had to purchase new tickets, recheck two trunks which had been checked to Mon treal, and he also made an effort to dispose of a ticket calling for transportation to the latter city. It is now believed that one of tbe trunks was Burke's. This assumption is based on the fact that on Friday, June 21, 1889, there arrived in this city from the South a man who regis tered at one of the hotels as "James Mc Carron, street, Chicago." The street number was first written by the guest, but a lew minutes afterward was erased with a penknife. The man made himself acquainted with one of the regular boarders in the house and through him was introduced to tbe police and some business men, pretending that his object here was to establish an agency, though in subsequent interviews he unwittingly acknowledged that if Burke had not been arrested he would never have been in Winnipeg. It was noticed that he carefully watched all trains from the West, and after he had been here six days he met a party that alighted from the Atlantic express. A mere nod of recognition passed between them at the station, but the new arrival proceeded np Mtin street, followed at a re spectable distance by McCarron. Turning into one of the hotels the two men selected a side room, where they were alone and in consultation some time. Notes were com pared and some papers exchanged. Mc Carron paid his bill and announced his in tention of returning to Chicago next morn ing, The supposition is that the stranger from the West came through with Burke and proceeded on his way, taking his trunk with him, while Burke intended to have gone East irom here. THE CENSUS IN GERMANY. One Day Suffices to Get the Population of tbe Whole Empire. In Germany they have a different way of taking the census than the one in vogue in the United States. There they take the census every five years, and cover the whole empire in one day; font only questions in reference to domicile, name, sex, age and social position are asked. Several days before December 1 the enum erator goes around iu his district and finds out how many persons live in each house. For each person he leaves a card containing the questions, and on each card is written the number of the house and district. A duplicate of each card so filled out is kept in the central station. On December 1 the enumerator goes around and collects the cards, the heads of the families, agents or owners being under penalty to fill ont the cards, or have them filled ont, and to return them. By the duplicate a check is kept, so that the enumerators cannot skip a house. In that way the exact number of persons living in the German Empire is secured on the first day ol December. A DUEL WITH H0WITZEBS. How Tyro Army Officers In Mexico Settled a Qaarrel nt Long; Range. A strange duel was fought iu a sparsely settled part of Sonora, Mexico, about IS years ago. Captain Yillenueva and a lieutenant of a battery of light artilery be longing to one of the posts had some trouble about who was the best shot with the moun tain howitzer. They quarreled and agreed to settle it with the howitzer at S00 yards. They took neither seconds nor assistant gunners, but from the top of small hillocks they fired explosive shells at one another. The cap tain was wounded by a fragment of a shell, but they fired ten shots before either was disabled, though each was covered with dust. Finally the captain landed a shell under his adversary's gun and the explosion so mangled the lieutenant that he died before they could remove him to the post. WORETNGHEN'S MASBIAGES. In Spite of Lord Derby' Opinion lie Had Better Toko a Wife Early. Fall Mall Budcet.) In the debate on sweating yesterday, Lord Derby was eloquent about the wicked ness of early marriage among the working classes. But is it not about time that some one should point out to critics of the upper and middle classes the plain fact that for a workingman the improvident thing is to marry late. The workingman does not, like the commercial or professional man, earn more at 40 than at 22; on the contrary, he is apt to earn less, because young men are pre ferred to him. If he marries young, he has a reasonable chance of earning his highest average income during the years that his children are dependent on him. If he de fers his marriage till 35, the chances are that his incomp will begin to diminish when his eldest child is not more than 10 years old. THE G0LDENE0D BEATEN. Country Slaldena Prefer tbe Rose for Amer ica' National Flower. New XorkSun.i School children in this city who recently voted with such unanimity for the golden rod for America's national flower are very much chagrined to find that they are likely to be outvoted in the rural districts. So far as the returns from the interior ot this State have been heard from, the vote is almost entirely in lavor of the rose. The goldenrod is nowhere. City children who admire goldenrod so much will, no doubt, be pained to learn that their country cousins regard it as a commonplace weed, the growtb of which in some instances is destructive to crops. The rose is the country maiden's favorite flower. SICK HKAJACnECsrler,,LlttleIjT,,P rills. SICK HKADACHKClrt,irJuleuyerFms. SICK HEADACHE..,, Llttw Liver Fills. 'HI. u Jll... 3UJII. v a' w !"

Pittsburg's Evolution from a Hamlet on the Yerge of Civilization. FAIRI TALES BEATEN BI COLD PACTS A glance at the material growth of Pitts burg and the country since the establish ment of the Government, should be in place in this time of anniversary rejoicing and recollections. When the Declaration of In dependence was promulgated, the number of Sutes was 13, occupying a narrow strip of territory on the Atlantic coast. All else was primeval wilderness, occupied by sav age Indians and beasts. Pittsburg was a village remote from the center of civiliza tion, and of no importance except as a bar rier against the encroachments of the In dians. The first census that of 1790 showed a total population in the 13 States and the territorvon each side of the Ohio river, of 3,921,326. In the Northwest Territory the population was so small that no return was made. The great central States of the Union had not even been explored. The census of the present year will show a population ap proximating 70,000,000. Commercial Progress. The commeicial progress of the country ban been equally rapid. It has kept step with the vast increase in population and the amazing growth of the cities. At the birth of the nation the manufacturing interests were of little importance; but since then there has been an amazing expansion in every de partment of industry. The little village at the "lorks of the Ohio" has become the chief manufacturing city of the country. Railroad development has kept pace with the increase of population and expansion of commerce. The first line constructed in the United States was the Quincy .Railroad, in 1826. Tbe second was the Maucb Chunk Bailroad, in Pennsylvania, in 1827. The rapid growth of the railroad system of the country since that time presents a striking evidence of the activity and enterprise of the people and tbe civil progress of the nation. The number of miles of railroad now in operation is about 125,000. The first line of telegraph was erected in 1844, between Washington and Baltimore. From this small beginning a vastystem of telegraphic lines has been constructed, by means of which all the great centers of trade and population in the world bave been brought into instantaneous communication. Pittsburg is no longer insular nor isolated. ' Now and Then. That the pioneers of Pittsburg builded better than they knew is too apparent for argument. In 1800 she had a population of 1.B55. In 1890 it will reach 250,000. In 18U4, a citizen writing to a friend in Phila delphia, said: "Do not be surprised when you are informed that tbe value of the arti cles manufactured in Pittsburg last year amounts to upward of $350,000." From the best estimates at hand the capital invested in 1889 in the nearly 4,000 industrial estab lishments of the city aud vicinity, approxi mated 5200,000,000. Tbe value of the iron and steel output was about $250,000,000, and of glass $8,000,000. The first bank, a branch of the Bank of Pennsylvania, was established iu 1804. There are now more than 70, 26 of which are working under the national system. Ex changes last year reached a total of 654, 080,350 93. They will not fall much short of $800,000,000 this year. The founders of the city paid very little attention to real estate. It had no fiscal valve, and not much of any kind. Tn 1792 tbe square on the west side of Smithfield street, between Diamond and Fourth ave nue, was sold by tbe Penns for $60. It is now worth several millions. Iu 1810 the grandfather of a prominent bank" officer sold a lot on Filth avenue for $100 a foot front. It is now worth $5,000. At that time the outlying districts were wildernesses. They are now covered with handsome houses and thickly populated. Onward and Uptrard. Both Pittsburg and the country are in the full swing of progressive development, and while their growth since the Government started upon its career has been unparalleled in any other part of the world, they are destined to accomplish still more wonderful results and achieve still greater triumphs in civil progress. It will be a long time be fore the New Zeatander will be given the opportunity to sit on a broken pier of one of the river bridges and lament the down fall of Pittsburg. She has brains, energy and wealth enough to keep her going for another century at least. nioTemcnts In Real Estate. James W. Drape & Co. sold a house and lot in the Fast End for $2,100; also a prop erty on one of the main avenues of the Fast End for a figure approximating $22,000 cash; also a transaction embracing two houses in the city and a property in the sub urbs tor $20,0U0; also placed a mortgage on a farm ot $2,200 at 6 per cent; also a mort gage on two houses and lots on Washington street of $4,500 at 6 per cent; also four mort gages on properties iu McKsesport and Du quesne of $13,000 at 6 per cent. EASTEE ISLAND EELICS. The Monoliths of Human Shapet Idols and Other Wonders) In Stone. Mr. Walter Hough contributes to a recent number of the American 2Toturali$t a paper in regard to the monoliths of human shape found on Easter Island, in the South Pa cific. One of the idols is in the National Museum, together with smaller stone images, painted slabs and other evidences of the curious civilization of the islanders. The deep, wide eye-sockets of the big stat ues were carved for eyes of obsidian, and doubtless one reason for the extreme rude ness of the sculpture consists in the fact that the statues were once decorated so as to conceal their defects of anatomy. The quarry whence the monoliths came is 12 miles from the spot where the largest num ber has been found, and the way is difficult. Many are in the quarry, half finished. Others are abandoned on the way, yet one in place weighs about 50 tons and is 60 feet high. The islanders had no metal tools and were ignorant of the wheel. Yet they built small heavy-walled houses of stone, lined and roofed them with slabs of stone, on wbich figures of animals of eccentric form were painted. Doors are very narrow and the roofs are covered with tnrf. For writing they used very curious and beautiful letters, carved with sharks' teeth on slabs of wood. These letters are not alphabetic, of course, but are condensed pictures which recall the past events, lifee the "talking sticks" used by the medicine men of North American tribes. C0L0B OP HOT STEEL. The Influence of tbo Composllion and tbe Duration of tbe Temperature. Engineering and Mining Journal. 3 Messrs. Schwerkers have demonstrated in an experimental way that an increased hardness of steel necessitates an increased heat to produce the same annealing color, and that the composition of the steel affects tbe conditions of the appearance oi the dif ferent colors in a still higher degree than the hardness.

Newcastle Chronicle. The necessity for constructing works to keep in check the fury of the ocean has en gaged the attention of engineers from the days of the Ptolemys, hut it is remarkable how litlie advance we have hitherto made on the science of the ancients as applied to such structures. The oldest breakwater known is that of Fnniagusta in Cyprus, nnd simply consisted of a mass of rocky mate rial thrown into the sea and allowed to shape itself to the heating of the waves. On this plan, which is known as the "talus" system, have been construct ed the breakwaters at Portland and Plymouth, while at some places the talus deposit is merely used as a founda tion for a superstructure of masonry. A great objection to this method is that the base has to be so wide that it often seriously interieres with the entrance to tbe harbor, while walls of vertical masonry are very costly, and not always permanent. But after following in practically the same rut for so many centuries, a novelty is at length snggested, and the War Secretary has ap pointed a committee to inquire into the efficacy and practicability of the suggestion. The new method is to be tried in the Bristol Channel, where the "bore" is as trouble some as the waves of the sea, and the harbor of Mombasa, our new port to the north ot Zanzibar, is also to be constructed on this plan. The new system consists in lowering a number of iron rods vertically into the water, and tying them together by crossties and rack bearings. The roughness or smoothness of the bottom of tbe water does not affect tbe principle or tbe application of this system. When the rods are placed in position and braced together, so as to forma kind of iron basket work, the framework is filled with stones. If a solid casing is deemed desirable, perforated blocks of con crete or stone can be slipped over three or more of the rods, down which they will slide, binding the rods into position and forming a sheath, for the framework. The specific gravity ot the material nsed is of importance, arid Btone would be better than concrete for most situations. Iron, though it corrodes rapidly when exposed alternately to water and air, does not rust when beneath the surlace of the water at a greater rate than a quarter of an inch in three centuries. The advantages of the new method are that its cost is about one-fourth of the talus sys tem, and that it gets rid of the objectionable spreading base of the old style of breakwater. THE STAGE AND THE LEPERS. A Flay at Madras Whicb Make nn Advance In Treatlns the 8ofiVrer. Tbe Chautiuquan. We hear of a theatrical entertainment given not long ago by lepers to lepers, at a hospital in Madras; one of the plays was called "4 Side-Splitting Farce." Dr. Cook, the surgeon, placed one of his wards at the disposal of the amateur actors, who got up by their own efforts a fine stage adorned with a curtain, which last was painted by an artist who had only a thumb and half of a finger left him by the inexor able destroyer. A time of horrible experiences comes to nearly all, before the end; meanwhile, lepers are men and women, and so far as practicable should have the pleasures, even the cares, of healthy men and women, with as few reminders of their physical doom as possible. In this respect there is a marked advance upon the mediaeval charity. Until a protective virus is discovered to reduce the last traditional horrors of lep rosy, any maid or matron who at a safe dis tance sees a glimmer of romance in the career of a nurse to lepers, either in or out of a religions order, would do well to scru tinize severely her own motives before em barking upon such an undertaking. No transient glow ot enthusiasm, no skyrocket impulse, will suffice to light the path of duties that are inconceivable in advance; her torch must be kindled at an altar where the love of our common humanity burns as steadily as tbe watch fire of tbe vestals, and in the Holy of Holies of an individual heart. PH0T0GBAPHS IN IDD ATE. A Small Camera Sent Dp by a Rocket nnd Tbrn Made to Take Picture. FhUxdelphla Fress.l A curious form of photographic apparatus is being developed by a French inventor, M. Denesse. It consists of a photographic camera attached to a rocket. An umbrella like parachute is also fixed to the roccet stick. When fired into the air this Is closed, but as soon as the rocket begins to descend it opens out and the whole returns grace fully to the earth. In this the camera is cylindrical in form, and has round its cir cumference 12 lenses a sensitive plate in the center. The lenses are provided with a sbntter which opens and closes instantly on the camera commencing to descend. It is then drawn back to tbe operator by a cord attached be ore the firing of the rocket. EIVEE INTELLIGENCE. Business Quiet on tbo River Yesterday on Account of It Doing n Ilolldny. Despite the fact that the rain dampened the ardor of a great many people and prevented them from going ont on contemplated trips a large concourse of people wended to the wharf and took the boats to some place along the river to spend the day In some quiet secluded place w here the noise of tbe festive cracker y, ould not be continually heard going oil. Out side of the excursion business little was done. Th3 crews had deserted tbe boats and came un in the town to join in the general celebration of the day. Some coil barges were brought up from down the river and will be sent to the upper pool to be loaded. The river continues to rise slowly and if the expected rain comes the river will probably enable tbe coal men to make shipments. The mark at 5 P. si. showed 4 feet 6 inches, a rise of two inches since yesterday. Reports from np the river to-day lead tbe rivermen to be lieve that there will be higher water within the next 21 hours. Drlfiwood. Tne Twilight arrived at Cincinnati.
