NOTES AND COMMENTS. Ic Dr. Koch's remedy for tuberculous diseases is able to check the advance of any form of leprosy, as a special London cable hints, the benefit of the Genuau investigator's discovery to the human race will be great indeed. It may not -ure, but it will do incalculable good. THE uew gun throws shells fifteen miles.

Rockfelier is figured out to be : the richest American, lus wealth being estimated at $1:15,000.000. Ir is safe to j say that no country editor is worth quite this amount. OUT of 110,000 answers by farmers to : inquiries addressed to them by a combi- j nation of New England and Chicago; agricultural journals it was learned that' sentiment at the time of the poll was pretty evenly divided between those who ' favor and those who oppose government ! ownership of railroads. A large number j who oppose the ownership advocate con- j trol by other means. A majority urge ♦ government aid to agricultural cduca- | tion. AT the dedication of the New York World building Mr. Pulitzer was pre sented a beautiful model in silver of the Pulitzer building. 'The model is 31 i inches high from the foundation to the ' top of the flagstaff, ami is placed on a silver plaque, 24x20 inches. The whole j is incased in a frame of quartered oak. j The silver used in making this model was < received over the counter in payment for ' copies of the World, but the cost of the j memorial was defrayed by subscriptious from every member of the* World staff. j BARON Hruscu is the greatest philan- j thropist in Europe.

Wood, of Brooklyn, offers to eudow the Young Women's Christian Association, of that city, with $125,000 if the associ ation succeeds in raising an additional SIOO,OOO within the coming six months. Such a proposal is certainly an incentive to earnest endeavor, and Mr. Wood de serves additional praise for inaugurating his good work while he is alive instead of leaving it to the uncertainties of a last will and testament. THE second day of Murch. 1801, prom ises to mark one of the most important epochs in the history of Australia. On that day there will assemble in the city of Sydney the representatives appointed by all the Australasian colonies to consider the projected union of those portions of the British empire under one great con federate government.. As matters at present stand, there is every probability of the scheme being carried to a success ful issue without any long delay. A DEVOUT Itussian residing near Arch angel, on the coast of the Polar Sea, ar rived lately in Odessa, on his way to the Holy Land, which he proposes to ex plore from one end to the other. He lias made the entire journey on foot and entirely without meant, trusting to the support of God and of the human hearts he may move for his sustenance. 11c eats nothing but bread and salt, and carries no baggage to speak of. The journey of this man is a most wonderful undertaking, considering the wilderness-like condition which for thousands of miles exists in the stretch of country he is traveling. A WRITER in the Chautauquan gives a description of "How the People are Counted," and says that women seem to be better adapted than men to the nim ble work of managing the machines used in the Census Office. He quotes from the Superintendent of the Census as follows: "The overage number counted by the woman clerks was 0,500 families, or 47,050 persons, and by men clerks tt,587 families, or 32,985 persons. Thus it will be seen that women aver aged nearly one-half more than the men. It is also worth nothing that of the forty three who counted more than 10,000, thirty-eight wero women and only five men." HENRY M. FTANLKY does not converse freely about his plans for the future, but people who know him say that he will never agaiu indulge in an African adven ture, It is over twenty-two yenrs since he went to Africa with the Abyssian ex pedition, and twenty years since he left Zanzibar in search of Dr. Livingstone, and his various expeditions since then have given him all the experience as a discoverer that he desires. He now seeks a life less harassing, and would like to enjoy domesticity as a married man. If, however, abe fitting post of duty as Governor of some part of east ern Africa were offered to liini, he might not refuse the offer. GENERAL O. O. HOWARD attributes much of the uneasiness of the Indians to the influence of the women of the several tribes. "I remember an incident in the Nez Perce war which will illustrate what I want to show," said the general. "The Indian youths separated themselves from their baud and managed in some way, the particulars of which 1 do not know, to capture a score or more of horses and blankets. When they returned to camp they were simply idolized by the maid ens of their tribe. You see, they say to the young braves of the tribes, 'Why don't you go and do as your forefathers did? Fight the white man, capture his horses and be braves.'" TIIE inspec ion of the garrisoned posts by General Breckinridge's subordinates has resulted in the collection of some in teresting statist os. These show that in height tnc enlisted men of the United States army vary from a minimum of 4 feet 9 inches to a ma, mum of 0 feet 4 J inches, the soldier of this latter stature, for whom old King Frederic would have jjivena bonus, serviug in the Department of Arizona. In weig t there is a range from the minimum of 97 pounds to the maximum of 280. with an average | through the army of 1535, and the fair. average height of 5 feet 7 inches. 'lbe 1 youngest soldier enlisted is 1(1 years of age, and the oldest (Id, while the average is about 30 years. There are some inter esting figures. too, about the horses. Those of the cavalry average about 10J years, and stand 15 j hands high, with a girth of (I feet, and weigh about 1,010 pounds. The artillery horses aierage about half a year older and 110 pounds heavier, with corresponding increases in height and girth ONE hundred million of sheep—such roughly speaking, is, according to Mr! W. A. Temperley, the total wealth of Australia invested iu those bleating flocks which were the staudard ami out ward tokens of riches iu the pastoral communities ot the ancient world.

Among the hill tribes of the Wynaad j ! there is a novel method of netting and , j destroying a tiger, which has somewhat , of the character of a religious festival, ' ! aud which is attended with much excite ! ment and some danger. Quite recently j ! there was, reports a Madias paper, such i < an exhibition at a place called Kunti- ; I chadi, uot far from the borders of the j Rock wood estate, at which, the paper i ! in question informs us, several European j ladies and gentlemen were present. It ! was determined by the Chettiar and the j inhabitants of the neighborhood to get rid of an immense tiger that had already j destroyed several heads of cattle, and a J carcass was traced into the midst of a I neighboring piece of juugle on the slope j of a hill, about a mile and a half from ! the hamlet. Along the lower sides of j this jungle a line was cleared, aud nets, | made of coir rope, were set up on posts, ; some eight feet apart, while above an entrance was left for the tiger. At night the villagers and their friends mounted tree* aim other points of vantage, and waited, armed with spears some eighteeu and twelve feet iu length, ■ for the advent of the tiger. lie did not disappoint tlieni, but appeared during the \ night, and entered the enclosure of nets through the opening left for him. After ; invoking divine nssistunce, encouraged 1 by one who was believed to be under in- 1 spiiation, the watchers descended from their posts, and with yells and shouts ! drove their royal victim into the middle of the enclosure, when they closed the entrance with more posts and rope net ting. The men remained around the jungle all night, lighting fires to prevent any attempt at escape; and at noon the following day, after more ceremony and much feasting, the whole company turned out in holiday attire to witness ! the work of destruction. The tiger, | which was a fine brute, measuring about ten feet, was then roused up to bestir it- j self, by sundry stones and sticks, and it ! made several furious rushes at its tor- j mentors, only to be foiled by the net. It ! was a magnificent sight to see it spring j forward with a mighty roar, and dash it- ! self against the net. After several j charges, however, he got disheartened j aud retired to the middle of the cnclos- ; uie, from which nothing would induce it j to move. The circle of rope-net was j then drawn closer round it until the tiger could lie reached with the spear. It made one more mighty charge, after demolishing several spear-handles, and was pierced below the neck and fell dead. The beast was skinned, and the skin retained by the head of the hamlet as a trophy of the event.—(St. James's I Gazette. FISHES' COLORS. Why They Are the Most Decorative of Animals in Existence, "There arc lots of funny things to be told about fish scales," said a naturalist the other day to a writer for the Wash ington Star. "The surface of the scales ordinarily is covered with a thin, silvery | coating, which derives its brilliant me tallic luster from the presence of many crystals composed of lime and a sub stance known as 'guanin.' This coating is easily rubbed oif and in one sort of European carp, called the ' bleak,' the crystals are so numerous that metallic pigment is derived from them, known in the arts as'argentine,' which is used to impart luster to the glass globules sold under the name of 'lloman pearls.' When the silvery coating is absent the scales of a fish are lustcrless and trans parent, as in the case of the smelt, the abdominal cavity of which, however, has a brilliant silvery lining composed of the same substance. "Every one knows from observation that the fishes of the world are most gorgeous of all animals in point of coloring. The colors they exhibit are often duo to a simple arrangement of pigment cells, but the brilliant and changeable hues which constitute the greatest beaut/ of these creatures are de rived from two causes very wide apart. An illustration of one of these may be observed in the scales of the herring, shad or mackerel, being a true irides cence similar to that seen in the pearl and due to the reftu :tion of the rays of light as they glunce olf the surfaces of the thin plates of which the scales are composod. More importantly, however, the coloration is dependent on the ar rangement of the pigment cells that lie in the lower layers of the outer Bkin of the fish. A Heroic Corps. A recent chronicle of the deeds of the Tweuty-eighth Regiment of the line of the French army has urought out some stirring incidents in the history of that corps during the period alluded to. In ITUU the Twenty-eighth—then called the Twenty-eighth Half Brigade—was sent to take an entrenchment of the Aus trians in the heights of the Simplon Pass. Arriving at the point they found the enemy Bolidly entrenched in w hat ap peared to be an impregnable position. In front of their redoubts, and qu. te separa ting them from the French position, was a deep chasm, through which ran a mountain torrent. Col. Walhubert, who commanded the Twenty-eighth, had no id. a of being stopped by what seetned an impassable obstacle. He found a long, straight tree, with a tiunk almost a foot in thickness. This tree lie ordered cut down, and the trunk was thrust across the chasm under a galling tiro. Then ho started his command across the log, one man at a time. The first soldier who stepped upon it was shot ami fell into the chasm. Ho with the second and the third; but the French crowded on after these, aud presently several succeeded in crossing. Then \Y alhubert himself passed over the log in safety, and, organizing his little party | on the other side, he made an attack up j on the Austrian redoubt, his men clam j bering up the sharp rocks to the assault. | This diverted u part of the Austrian's tire from the log. The Freueh kept crossing, one at :t time, though many among them w<*nt down to death in the chasm. The attacking column increased \ little by little, and, by a mad charge, in which the assailant* were partly protect ed by the roughues* of the soil,succeeded in dislodging the Austrian? from their first and lowest line of entrencliuients. j When the French—as many of themashad ! survived the fearful passage—had crossed [ the <-hft*u), Walhubert formed his half i brigade, stormed the enemy's position, j carried it, and captured 1,200 men and a . number of gtini. Times-Democrat. THE ARCTIC OWL. How His Presence May Indicate Coming Cold Weather. > The returns of our Summer birds, after | Winter has passed, is quite generally j noted. Hut it is doubtful if nearly as ! many people note down the dates on ! which our birds leave in the Autumn. It they did, very possibly we would have predictions of cold or mild Winters, based on their early or late departures, i as well as by the advent of northern , birds, .such as the arctic owl. The arc tic owl is very likely now most abundant in regions not very far to the northward ;ol us. The region around Hudson's ; Hay is specially frequented by this bird. • He has come southward with the dc ! climng sun, and perhaps a few of thespe | cies, wearied by a long flight, have been caught by a storm a* uiey neared the end I °f their journey, and, unable to resist the | great northwest gales, have moved with I them until they were left as far south as | this latitude. It is not unlikely. The I great March blizzard of 1888, with its strong whirling gnlcs. westerly on the Carolina coast, swept killdecr plover from the coast of North Carolina around the circle by south far over the Atlantic, until finally they were whirled inlund by the southeasterly and easterly gales and lauded on the bleak coast New Eng land. A great many strong ships sank, while these little birds noatcu in the storin as a rowboat sometimes rides eas ily over the waves that buffet ships. Thus the arctic owl may have been ' blown many hundreds of miles south ward in the storm currents without even i meeting death by freezing. That there is truth in the assertion I that weather predictions may be made 1 from the flight of birds the writer docs ' not doubt, but, iuasmuch as no explana tions arc offered, it seems that man, as well as other auimals, reasons by instinct rather than by thought when making the predictions. It is demonstrated that these signs arc sure, otherwise man would not continue to profit by them. An explanation of why the presence of the owl in this latitude foretells a cold winter is as follows: The bird is, with out doubt, driven here by strong gales. Now it is obvious that there would be no gales if there was not an excess of air to the northward—colder than the air j in this latitude, because it is further ; from the equator. As the sun moves ; southward (apparently) this cold body of air always presses southward ; when ever opportunity offers at any point along its southern boundary it comes with a rush in the form of cold northwest gales, generally as clearing gales following a storm. Thus the presence of the arctic owl proves that this great body of cold air lies not far to the north of us, and as the season advances rushes of cold air in the iorm of gales from northern points will frequently occur, making the winter of 1800-91 memorable in contrast with the mild one preceding.—[Boston Jour nal. The Forests of Canada. From present experience, says the Toronto (Canada) Empire, the varieties most promising for Manitoba and the northwest are as follows: "Box elder, variously known as Manitoba maple, ash- | leaved maple and negundo maple, when grown from northern seed. These lead in hardiness and general adaptability. American elm and white ash also do well when grown from Manitoba seed, and show in a marked degree greater hardi ness than those raised from eastern seed. Yellow canoe aud white birch, as well as the cut-leaved varieties, are promis ing. American and Europcau mountain ash arc showing udaptu ility to soil and climate in a surprising degree. Of the maples, the soft maple and Norway maple are partially successful at Indian Head. The Russian poplars, remarkable for their hardiness and rapidity of growth, arc destined to be of great value to our settlers in the western prairie region, where they form shelter belts for ten derer varieties in incredibly short periods. Experiments on the branch farms at Brandon and Indian Head thus far have demonstrated that in the lino of shrubs, elcagnus arireiitca, and alca;nus augus tifolia—this lust commonly called Rus sian wild olive—Siberian pea tree and several varieties of the lilac, the Japanese rose will also be useful. Chinese Physicians. The Eastern cities are repeating Cali fornia's experience with Chinese physic ian ■♦. Ihe facts about Chinese medical science are that they have no adequate conception of anatomy, physiology or pathology. During centuries of expe rience they have recorded and piled up a mass of observations, and have learned to produce certain effects from certain causes, but all this body of knowledge if it may be dignified by that name, is undigested and void of scientific system. Sometimes they happen to hit the dis ease and the remedy, and a great outcry about Oriental wisdom is raised, but it is almost purely a mutter of accident. Those who put themselves in the hands ol these humbugs run serious risks, be sides the chance of imbibing cone ctions of lizards, spiders and sundry other ver min whose pulverized bodies compose the bu'k of Chinese medicines.

The United States census aud assess ment rolls tell a wonderful story of the progress of the Northwest. Probably the most notable example is that of Fairhaven, Wash., the Puget Hound terminus of the Great Northern Bail way. June 1, when it was precisely one year old, the national census gave it 4,273: the assessor's value was a fraction less than $8,000,000, while the real value of the property created in one year was found to be a round $20,- 000,000. During this first year three lines of railroad, aggregating nearly one hundred miles, were built by local capital at a cost of $2,000,000, without flo&tiDg a dollar's worth of bonds or incurring any debt. Ten miles of streets were graded and paved at a cost of $600,000. Electric lights, gas, waterworks, paid fire department, model churches, schools, and other public improvements were made, alto gether costing $1,000,000, and the mar velous part of it is that Fairhaven lias no debt, bonded or otherwise, and has $50,000 in the treasury. It has one coal vein thirty-eight I'eet thick, said to be the largest vein of pure coking coal in the world, anil ten lumber mills in the vicinity have a total capacity of 300,000,000 feet per annum. Its har bor is described as the finest on the Pacific coast, and the Great Northern Railway is establishing groat shipping interests there. It now boasts of 0,000 people, and is probably the richest city in the Union. Its magic growth is mainly accounted for by its superior location, its vast wealth in coal, iron, and timber, and the indomitable pluck of its projectors and citizens. Singular Hygienic Contest. At the North London Collegiate School for Girls an athletic contest lately took place to test the value or otherwise of corset-wearing. With a view to obtaining some actual scientific data on disputed jroints, sixteen pupils wearing corsets were arrayed against as many abstainers, the trial including a high leap, a long leap, "lug of war," and running competition. In leaping neither side gained any signal advant age over the other. In the tug, for< which the girls had been well drilled, j the abstainers had far the best of it, twice dragging tlicir opponents over the line. For "endurance running'' the object aimed at was to tost the evidence of disturbance, as shown in an in creased respiration and diminished breathing capacity. The results showed a small advantage to the cor set party in the matter of respiration rate and a considerable advantage to the opposite side in pnlse rate, tint the most striking result was that while the effort of running diminished the breathing capacity of the corset-wear ers by .8 cubic inches that of the non corsets was increased by 4.4.

Brudin, of New York City, ias some very curious coins. He is a collector of coins from Fast Asia and las some pieces very old and interest ing. None are more so than the coin of King Wu Wang (1122-1110 B. 0.). It is called Pu, the word meaning cloth made from cotton or hemp. It is made )f bronze with raised letters and lines, die characters being in Chinese, hut of inch ancient date that the modern j (Jhinaman can't make them out. It is dill well preserved. Another is a knife-shaped coin. It belongs to the dynasty of Tsi (387-221 B. C. J. It is called Too, which means knife or sword. It must be very old and rare, because the letters are not raised but engraved, and seem to be gilded. Mr. Brudin says that the only Chi nese coin with gilded letters was coined by usurper Wang Mang (9-22 A. D.). and is called Tso Tas or "gilded knives." Those are, however, quite different from the knife coin here rep resented. It is supposed that the Chinese made money about 2,800 years before Christ. It was then called Kin Wilch, meaning metal or gold. Consistency Mot a Jewel. Actress (queen in extravaganza)— It seems ridiculous that I should wear diamonds about au inch in diameter.
