A oity auction houso ia noon to be bnilt by tbo Berlin mnnioipality as the best means to do away with the pres ent abuses in tbo Biiotion business. The ring of dealers now prevent any outsiders from buying, and tho thing has assumed the proportions of a pub lis nuisance Tho Chicngo Times-IIorald remarks: A tax of $1 per year upon each wheel would yield nearly $200,000 in Chicago nloue nnd would bo opposed by very few wheelmen if it were applied di. rectly to rondmaking. Ibis is morcly ono of tho numerous plans suggested for inaugurating tho movement in Ill inois. A dollar a wheel would build more highways than a thousand "good rondo" planks in National platforms. Tho latent oducational agitation is to institute schools on wheels. It is pro poned to lit out railroad trains, fur i lulled with dining and Bleeping oars, no that pupils can combine travel and study, halting nt various sidings for vhe study of ininerology, botany, ge ology, and so on. Of courso, only pupils hnviug money could patronize this sohomo to bjo tha wholo country and study its resources nt the tamo time. This way of railroading knowl edge iuto pupils i an advanced theory of education. If it is proposed to take tho pupils in tho railroad schools out into tho region of train robbers, it will aleo be necessary to teach tho young ideas how to shoot. Ono pleas ing feature of tbo plan, suggests tho New Orleans Ficuyuuo, is that should tho scholars prove refractory it will bo veiy easy to switch them. "It is nunccessay to explain at length why tbo South will continue during the next ton years to grow ateadily," declares tho Fiuancior, of New York. "Its destiny ns a manu facturing f eotiou is as certain as any thing human cun well be. It has every udvuntago that other sections lay claim to, and the development of tho South ern railroad will make it as acoossiblo to murket as Ntw England is to-day. With mountains literally coinposod of rich irou ore, with coul cropping out on every hilluido in tho mineral bolt, with litncstono uud timber in abund ance, the SjutU cau manufacture iron nt a price which no other producing region can meet. Tig iron is beiug mndo in Birmingham, Ala., to-day nt a cost not exceeding $5 a ton, and tho fact that the Teuuesseo Coat and Iron Company a few days since Lad orders booked for nearly 270,000 tons of n-on, an increase of 122,000 tons since Muroh 14, is on indication of tha troud of tho market toward tho South. Eights per coot, of tbe iron made in tho Birmingham region is now being shipped to other points for conver sion iuto stcol and the higher grades of the manufactured product. This will not contiuue indefinitely. Tho loss on freight, which now has to bo counted in estimating cost of produc tion, offers a sufficient profit to induce change of location, and tbo ooutre ot stool production ultimately must be within the radius of the cheapest market for tho primary material out of which steel is made. Tho Tennes see Coul and Iron Company recog nizes this fact, as witness its deter mination to build a million dollar pluut at Birmingham. With chaip steel a fuctor it is equally certain that industries depoudent on this material as applied to higher uies will follow, and the next decade ought to bring about the erection ot new factories, or tho removal of older oues to tho South. Tho climate, tho labor, aud tho fuel invito the change, aside from other consideration. Aud it is not alone in rou and steel that this change will b felt. The South is being dotted with new cotton mills, forced by the Banio primary reason to desert the Kant, and tho exodus of industries, if such ft may be called, is bound to continue. Shrewd observers say thut cotton man ufuctirrora have not gone South far enough, and that tho mills might with equal advantago locato nearer the fuel supply, since tho railroads at those points ruu through rich eottou ooun try, and ull'ord belter luoilitios for reaching Northern and Western mar kets. Bearing all these facts in mind t is not strange thut far-seeing in vestors und manufacturers predict that within a circle fifty miles m diameter, tukiug tho ceutro of the Stuto of Ala lmmu us a bturtiug point, will be locat ed the future great inauufucturiiig city ut the South, and, for iUat ratter, of thw Nation," !

BY CLINTON BOSS. tiiu scandal mon gers of tho wheel areconfinod most ly to those who eannot,or do not, wueei. jNot so long ago women were likely to wako mental faces at other women who rode, bnt as soou as tboy themselves were spinning alone with a freedom they never had fancied, they straightway wondered at all theso allegations. And how, indeed, does a brisk turn under tho sky, and between the fields, drive away cobwebby no tions. In the old days a canter might do it, bnt a horse is a luxury, and, even if you cau afford it is evr get ting out of condition, and to be fit must havo a modioum of constant ex ercise Bat now all go a-spinning,tho horseman as woll as the onetime long distanoe walkers, tho sinners,1 and those who strive to regain this old world from the curse. Among these latter, no one is better equipped for tho nnoiont light than tbe rector of Saint Mattbew-iu-tbe-Purk, tho Kev. Lemuel Springer, With body and mind attuned to a fine healthfnlness, at thirty, he believes etrougly, and preaches and nets his belief, aud in these days when clergy men sometimes forgot that their duty is but to heal the heart's wounds, and to preach the reward of simple hon esty and cleanly living, it is a doligbt to sit of a morning in a pew of Saint Matthew-in-tho Bark and listen to the direct and human religion its othleo tio young rector expounds. I, myself, remember him when he was No. 3 on tho 'Varsity crew, And a very great man. lie still conld poll that third oar as strongly, but the only sport his duties now permit him is wheeling, and if yon go to the park of a morn ing you may see him going np and down hill and doabtloss meditating those words for the soul cheer afforded by his bits of sermonizing, put always in English tersely stroug. And yet he has all his troubles, his experiences, bis questionings, his sin, his falsity, and if you will follow my story, you will see how it was all due to tho wheel that be once forgot him elf. Of a May day the Rov. Lemuel was coasting down the long hill into the straggling village of Bonndbnsb, Westchester. It was his day of outing, and now at noon he was hungry after a twenty-mile exhilar ating spin; and tho world had put its oare away, and his blood was tingling and his heart singing liko the birds in the fields and the treotops through the windy blue spaces of that sunny spring-day sky. The old tavern at Koundbush bears on a creak ing sign a distorted likeness of our first groat President, and after long years of desuetude again has found usefulness through the revival of the road, and flaunts a noon placard: "Lnnohcs for Bioyolers." Yet this afternoon tho Reverend Lemuel thought that he had it quite to him self, as tho fat landlord pushed his shirtsleeves further above his brawny elbows and said he guessed he could give his visitor "somcthin' that was fit eutin'." And Lemuel will drop his title thought the broiled chicken dolioious and sauntered iuto tbo par lor, dark after the sunshine, with its haircloth chairs and its colored prints of "Washington Crossing the Dela ware," and "John Brown's Capture," and certain photographs of prim rural folk. Now, usually, Lemuel was most ob serving. Yet he had been in. that room fully five minutes before ho no tioeil a ngure stretoued out on a conch ; at the dark side, to bo sure, so that it may not have been so strange that ho had not seen her at hrst lier face sunk in a pillow, she seemed to be sobbing. Lemuel at once made for the door, when he heard a sweet and strangely plaintive voice: "I'm such a fool I Oh, I beg your pardon I" she added, with such evident confusion that Lemuel turned about hastily to see tho prettiest figure of a woman in a witching bicyolo costuuie ; BDd whut she wan like I'll leavo you to luncj; just luucy, that is, the very fj! W nicost girl of yonr acquaintance, nnd you will see her as Lomuel saw her much more easily than from any de scription of mine. "Oh I she said hastily, rubbing uer eyes. "I bog your pardon," said Lemuel. "It was my fault," she said, looking him over demurely. "I iorgot this was a public room." "I am sure it was mino," said Lem uel, hastily. It was all rather strange and sudden, and yet he decided at onoo that sho was a wollbrcd young person. "Oh, I am glad," sho exclaimed. "I don't soe why," ho blurted out, in astonishment. "Because yon are Mr. Springer of hoint-Matlhow-in-tbe vk. Ho bowed, remembering with a bit of oonooit that a lot of people doubt less know hi in whom bo uidn t know from Adam or Eve. "I need a olergymar," she said. Now at this astounding statement Lemuel stared his niter astonishment Did she need his spiritual advice? She looked a bit worldly. "That is rather a surprising state ment," sho added. "I don't know," he said, hopelessly. "I mean," she said, "I want an es oort to Greenwich, and with a clergy man there can be no question." "I don't know," said Lemuel again. "You mnst think me strauge." He looked nt her for a moment, and made a very worldly reply : "I think you delightful." "You will let me go with you then?" "Why of course, if you Bsk me," ho said ; and why in the world did he say exactly that. "I do and we must be started be fore him." "Him? I don't understand." "I will explain later ; we must be started now. We have no time." "Ob, no time?" "Can you oblige me, Mr. Sprin ger?" And with tboee eyes on him he could and did, and having paid his reckoning he was in the saddle, this graoeful young person beside him, again and again looking over her shoulder. She kept np a brisk paoe, neither saying a word, although you may beliove he was wondering at the impulse which had brought hira to such sudden com plaisance. What, if any ot his par ishioners should sea bim as he was now, tearing madly np and down hill with this nudeniably very pretty young woman, and running madly for Him? Who tbe deuce was "Him ;" only, ot course, Lomuel didn't say, "who the deuce." 'Oh I oh I "she cried suddenly. "AW, what's the matter?" said ho slowly. "If he should appear, and attempt to speak to mo, you must knock bim down." "That would be rather unolerical, wouldn't it?" said Lemuel. "You must," said she. ."Oh, if 1 must," said he, looking at her, and knowing he certainly would. The road forks half a mile further with, at tho poiut, a bitot wood and thicket. As you near tho wood, you have the stretch ot the road to the left, and now as they camo into that view, Lemuel's companion criod out: "Oh, I saw him I" "Who?" "No matter; we must hide. I don't belie vo he could have Been me," she added quickly. Aud dismounting, she dragged her wheel after her int)tbe bushes. "You stay there," she called. "If be Bsks if you have seen me, vou mnst ssy yon haven't." And she disap peared. "that would be a lie, would nt it? "I have no patienoe with a man who can't lie when it's neoessary," came back the answer. And all was still, save for the rural noises of the sunny May day. But at last about a torn came a wheelman. . He was young nd well groomed. Seeing Lemuel, he paused. "Have you passed a young lady, sir?" "What sort of a young lady?" said Lemuel, avoiding the lio direct, "Wheoling." " halt dozen, I think. "said Lemuel truly, breathing a sigh of relief. 1 or our young gentleman was in nis saddle and teaiiug on. Five minutes passed ; but presently a face appeared in a leafy frame a laughing, tantalizing faoe when she followed dragging the wheel. "He didn't see mo." "Now what does this mean?" Lemuel asked rather angrily. "Is your patienoe worn out? ' said she demurely. "Yos, I think it is. What s your name?" "Augelo," "Augela what?" "I am not going to tell you." "But you know mine." "Everybody does," said she with gentle flattery. "Oh, I don't know. But what does it mean?" "Now, pleaso don't bo angry please." And she added : 'You've been bo good." "Have I?" said he. "Yes; I don't know what I should have doue if you hadn't appeared jubt th'Si. You make me able to suy if uny oue should see me, 'Why, I um out with Mr. Springer, and he is a olergy meu.' " "Ob, dear?" said Lemuel. "Now, don't bother, please I We'd bettor be on the road. And she mounted. "Come on I" she cried. Aud when he was by her side she began again : "I'll explain as Iouht. There was a girl, and she thought she loved a inuu." "Yes, I have hcurd of girls liao that" "But she didu't really." "Ves, I know." "How do you?" "Hunt I have a paritjh." "So you have. Well, to go on. When she hears that man is engaged to another girl, sho tries to 'cut' tho other girl out ont of pique, not love for the man, you understand. "No, I don't." "Well, yon ate not so clovor as I thought. But to return to this girl " "Angela?" "Yes, sho was Angela, if you will. Angela encourages the man ' ' "The man who jnnt passod?" "Tom, we'll call him." "Yes, Angela encourages Tom ; and Tom succumbs " "Do von think so?" sho said, look- Jng at him mischievously. "Yes, ho did ; I must bo frank with you, a clergyman. And it goes on in a conntry houso in Westchester in May. But there's small chance in a house party, yon know." "Yes, I know," said ho. "Of course you know because you are a young clergyman of a modish church. Now to go on with the story Angela ngrees to meet Tom on the wheel. Sno wheels for n long time bofore the appointed hour, aud, get ting tired, stops, as you know, and, being tired, her conscience pricks her." "I know of such cases," said Lemuel laconically. ' "And she thought of tho other girl, and remembered how wicked she ho? been, because she has been 'encourag ing Tom just for fun." "She should have folt wicked," said Lemuel severely. "Just then she sees a very promi ninent young clergyman." m "Ob, no," said Lemuel, becomingly. "Woll, at once she snatches the chance. She will appear to Tom when be meets her to be out with the clergy man. If he speaks she will ignore him. Should he persist, the clergy man, who is tho stronger, will knock him down." "Will he?" "Yos, ho promised." "Did he?" "Yes, becauno Angela wished it." "Well, perhaps. But when Tom ap pears why docs Angola , ruu to the bushes?" "Don't you think it was bettor to avoid the meeting?" "Possibly." "And now," she said, dismounting and extending a band, 'good-by." "You are going to leave me?" "I live over there." "There are a'lot of houses. Green wich, isn't it?" "Yes, Greenwich; but no matter wbioh house. You are going back to town. I am ever so much obliged to yon. You have been ever so good." "Angela," ho said, "must it be good-by?" "Yes." "And yon won't flirt any more?" "I never do." "Bnt you have confessed to it with Tom." "I never will again. Now good-by, Mr. Springer." And she was in her saddle, anl smil ing back at bim, nnd vanishing over the slope, leaving bim rubbing his oyes. At first he thought ho would fol low, but then in Greenwich ho likely would meet some one who knew hira, and he conld not afford to appear ri diculous, particularly after such an es capade. Yet, as ho wheeled, he regretted his resolution, aud he envied Tom, and he couldn't think ot his sermon ; aud he really was on that ride simply to clarify his mind that he might make his next discourse a fitting one. And buck at his desk, it was tho same, and his sermon was singularly poor that next Sabbath morning. And he strove with himself; and tried to put her out of his mind ; and to think ot how scandalous it all would seem to any of bis parishioners who should hear of it Yet he yield ed, bo far as to find himself looking about furttvoly for Angela, He even, with some self-deception, wheeled sev eral times over the same roads. But when he understood how im pulse was carrying him, he lashed himself mentally as a hermit of old did bis flosh. And he wrote a mighty sermon, which quite astonished his congregation, aud after he had de livered it he was compelled out of con sistency to givo np bis ono indulgence surviving from a great career as a col lege athlete. Acd ho plunged deeper into his work and "God's poor" and suffering never had more attention in thut par ish. But he couldu't give up dinners and routs altogether, as a certain attend ance on these functions is plainly a clergyman's duty. And at oue of these he saw Angela and was present ed. And uuder her eyes he forgot him Belf, as, heaven knows, elergymen are as the rest of us. "Angela," he began, "I have been looking for you." "Have you?" (ho said. "And Tom?" he atked fenrfully. "Oh, he's married." "To whom? I didn't catch your name. Was it Mrs. ?" "No, it isn't. It was tho other Kirl." "I hope you hav3 followed my ad vice," he said, after a moment. "Not to . I told you I never did." "I wish I really wish you would make me tho exceptiou," said thd'liuv. Lemuel.

It takes the moon exactly 42,52 1 minutes (twenty-nine days, twelve bonrs and forty-four minutes) to make its revolution around tbe earth. Tbe first fossil insect ever found in tho southern cool field of Pennsyl vania, according to Naturalist W. Vic tor Lehman, of Tremont, Penn., wai sentj, by him to the Smithsonian In stitution lately. A new nse has been discovered for bops, namely, the onring of baccn. It is found that a sprinkling of hops in the brine when bacon nnd hams are put in pickle adds greatly to the flavor of both, and enables them to be kept an indefinite period. Paris gelee groseillee, which the careless take to the enrrant jelly, is simply agaragar, or Ceylon seamoss, flavored with chemical essence which give it tho taste of fruit. The au thorities refuse to interfere with the sale of the substance on the ground that it is harmless. M, Moissan is reported to havo dis covered a substance which is harder than tho diamond, in the form of n compound of carbon and boron. It is produoed by healfng boraoio acid and carbon in an electric furnace at u temperature of 6000 degrees. In np poaranoe the composition is black nnd looks not unlike graphite, A gas lamp for checkiug boilet furnaces, which performs for tho furnace what the manometer nnd steam gauge do for steam and water has been devised by Hcrr Walther Hempel, of Dresden. It shows at a glance by the fluctuations of tbe jet, what is the proportion of carbonic aoid and oxygen in the gases of com bustion at any moment, enabling the stoker to control the supply of air at once. An air-tester, for showing the de gree of contamiDa, ion of the air of a workshop or other place where people are crowded together, is an interest ing apparatus lately shown in Zurich. A closed glass vessel is filled with a red fluid having the property of being bleached by carbonic aoid. One end of a glass siphon dips into the liquid, and from the other end a drop fulls every 100 seconds, and glids slowly down a cord kept stretched by a weight The more carbonic acid the air contains, the quicker tbe drop loses color. The drop may turn white near the upper end of the oord, if the air is very foul, or it may pass nearly to the other end before the change taEes place, such graduations as "ex tremely bad," "very bad," "passable" and "pure" being marked on a scale for the guidance of tbe observer. The Zcrograph. Thezerograph, an instrument in ap pearance very niuoh like an ordinary typewriter, is being used in England for transmitting or receiving telegraph messages. One machine is employed at each end of the liue. In sending a tolegraphio message no special train ing is reqnired. Tbe operator do prossos in turn the keys ot what ap pears to be an ordinary typewriter keyboard, with the usual arrangement of the letters. The depression of a key closes the connection of a local battery of from Ave to ton small ac cumulators, whioh causes a curront to flow, not only actuating the printing aud inking mechanism of the trans mitting instrument, but also closing tbe line circuit, which in its turn com pletes the local circuit of the receiving instrument. The two niaohiuos are thus simultaneously aotuatod, aud as the operator presses the key he not only prints tbo nioasuge on his own instrument, but makes an exact re production upon the receiving instru ment. As soon as the end ot a line is readied the machine automatically moves tbe paper forward, aud, releas ing a spring, oauses the paper roller to move along ready for tbe first lotter to striko at the commencement of a new lino. The machine is thus perfectly nutomutio in its action, aud may safely be left to take oare of itself at the re ceiving end, tho messago as received being printed on tho roll of paper without auy attention beiug required. .
