FACTS IN FEW LINES Hypnotism Is scientifically studied In some of tbe French medical colleges. At the German universities there were last winter 34,303 students, nt the French 20,901 students. The 31 beet sugar factories In this country now yield more than a third of our domestic sugar product. A searchlight on the electric tower of the Pan-American exposition Bt Buffa lo casts rays for a distance of 50 miles. For the first time for 1,000 years an ordination service In Bt. David's cathe dral, Cardiff, has Just been conducted In Welsh. A new Berlin municipal budget shows that 300 streets In Berlin are planted with 44,000 trees, which repre sent a value of SIOO,OOO. Cardiff has grown move quickly than any other large British town of late years. From 1881 to 1891 Its popula tion rose from 83,000 to 129,000. Canoe building Is one of the Indus tries of Kennebunkport, Me., which used to build great ships and even now launches an occasional schooner. A runaway horse In Denver the other day finished his flight by landing In the Interior of a rapidly moving trolley ear, where he rode for nearly a block before the vehicle could he stopped. By a law passed recently the most Incorrigible of the rateros, or pickpock ets, of the City of Mexico are to be put to work on the tobncco fields In the In terior of Tehuantepec. The number of arrests for drunken ness In New* Orleans, 5,000 in a year, Is larger than In Baltimore, although the population of Baltimore Is 508,000 and that of New Orleans 288,000 only. The king of Italy received 20,000 telegrams of congratulations In the first day or two after the birth of his daughter. lie also received 20,000 re quests for money In honor of the event. The total number of experiments on living animals In the United Kingdom In 1000 was 10,830, 2,370 more than In the previous year. It Is stated that but few of thcaa experiments were In any serious degree painful. The Loudon Lancet declares that "the prices asked for wine at big ho tels are so monstrously high and the wine offered Is so often bad that this fact alone accounts for an Increasing demand for whisky as a dinner bever age." Milwaukee has twice as many sa loons as Detroit, though the population of the two cities Is almost eiactly the same, but In Milwaukee, a beer drink ing city, the number of arrests for drunkenness Is considerably less than In Detroit. A strange sight was witnessed at iJologna recently. A bellrlnger at a church was struck by a great bell and thrown violently through the window of the tower on to the roof some 50 feet below. He escaped with nothing more than a shock. Last year the markets of New York paid as revenue Into the city treasury $258,000 from rents, exclusive of $48,- 000 collected from stalls and privileges In Walkabout market, Brooklyn, and $3,000 from market cellar rents, a total of more than $300.000.

A striking experiment which will show the enormous power of liquid air consists In pouring some over quicksil ver which hus been put Into a mold having a screw eye nt each end. In a moment the liquid metal becomes fro zen hard, and the screw eye Is tlnnly Imbedded In It. If a conl Is attached to one end and to the other a weight of 60 pounds, the weight will be suspend ed for 16 or 20 minutes at the ordinary temperature before the metal Is thawed sufficiently to allow the screw eye to be pulled out, anil nearly as long a time again elapses before the quicksil ver returns to Its ordinary liquid state. Alcohol, which, as no one can forget, Is used for measuring degrees of ex treme cold, ns It does not freeze until about 150 degrees C., Is easily convert ed Into what Is practically alcohol lee when liquid ulr Is poured into It First of all, however, It becomes ns thick us treacle and when lifted out of the con taining vessel can be still further fro zen stiff Into Icicles. The black magic, or what would In the middle ages have been cnllcd blnck tnagle, which can be performed with liquid air Is of so startling a character that It would have condemned such modern experimenters ns Professor De war to all the consequences which were visited on those who were sup posed to be In league with the devil. Everybody talks glibly of the Torri cellian vacuum, the space at the top of the column of mercury In the barome ter, which Is popularly supposed to have nothing In It Moisten a piece of cotton wool, however, with liquid air. Touch the glass which contains this vacuum. In a minute a shining silver ed mirror forms nt the point of con tact. The vacuum which Torrlcelll describ ed, the vacuum which the scientist would linve sworn existed, the vacuum which every student has received ns nil article of supreme faith, Is disproved! It Is a chimera, a vain Imagining. The vacuum contains the vapor of the mer cury In the tube. It Is but the merest fraction of vapor, go little thnt It ex erts a pressure of only one-mllllonth of an atmosphere lmpnlpnble, un thinkable. Yet under the alchemy of this force It reveals Itself to the eye of even the most careless observer.— Coasell's Magazine. Mary land Girls. Census reports are not generally In teresting to ladles, but some figures that nre printed in The Sun todny di rectly concern them nnd will doubtless attract their attention. It seems the female population of Maryland exceeds the male by 1),4!)4, there being 680,275 males In the state and 598,700 females. Maryland women, however, are not like those of Massachusetts, who are In a hopeless majority because the demand for them Is not equal to the supply. Maryland women are so attractive and so delightful that It Is necessary to pro duce them In large numbers to meet the demands of the matrimonial market abroad as well as at home. The appar ent excess of Maryland females Is only statistical. It Is not real or genuine. There could not be, In the nature of things, an excess of Maryland women. When the bachelors of other sections hear of Maryland's surplus feminine crop there will be a general rush from all quarters to secure as wives women who for sweetness, beauty, cleverness and capacity are chief among 10,000,000 and altogether lovely.—llaltlmore Sun. 1.011-R Lakt. Inhabitants of the Tyrol have lost a lake. The village watchman Is positive that when he pnssed the banks of the lake the night before the remarkable discovery It was In Its usual condition. The fact, however, remains that In the morning nothing hut the bed of the lake was left to show that It ever existed. On the trees growing near the lake some one had caused to be posted lurge notices, headed "Lost, Strayed or Stolen," to the effect thnt a reward would be paid for the return of the missing wnters nnd "no questions asked." Another notice exhorted the missing wnters to return and ull would be forgiven. There linve been many similar mys terious disappearances In different parts of the world. Quite recently a lake over one square mile In area dis appeared In Japan, and the place that It once occupied is now devoted to farming.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Platform Tickets. A German custom, which The Hall road Digest thinks might be Intro duced with advantage in this country, is the sale of platform tickets, which admit the bearer to the trains about to depart. The Idea Is to enable those ac companying friends to assist them with their hand baggage to their seats and help with the children when such are present. In most eases the assist ance Is denied, as those not holding tickets nre not allowed to pass through the gates, or at least not allowed to en ter the train. In Germany penny In the slt machines disburse these platform tiJkets, which entitle the bearer to ac company friends and to stay with them on the train until the moment It pulls out. ■lae sad Gray. Recently the Grand Army of the Re public organization In Atlanta re quested to be allowed to furnish a room at the Confederate Soldiers' home. Funds for the furniture of the room had been quietly contributed by the members of the post. The request was met In the same spirit In which it was tendered, and there will be an In scription over the door of the room Indicating that Its comforts were fur nished by veterans of the northern army. . , ] The Big Day Out!

Almot distracted by its constant crying, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching, she tries every thing possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees hsr little one drop off Into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous bnrden by a single dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola Is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic projterties which not only act U|on the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojs can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief ft ex perienced when administered to young children suffering from dlurrhu-a, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the iiowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invuluable. I.axakola, the great tonic laxative. Is not only the most efficient of family remedies, hut the most economical, because It combines two medicines, vlx.s laxative and tonic, and at one price. No other remedy gives so much for the money.

CBOWNISSHIELD. son competitor for the honor of defend ing the America's cup Crownlnshleld has won for himself a ranking with the foremost of American yachting ex perts. The Boston defender, Independence, Is a mngulflcent specimen of the ship builder's art. She will prove a worthy Competitor for the llerreshuff Consti tution and, should she come out victo rious against the latter, will give Up ton and his Shamrock II all the excite ment they are likely to care for. Crownlnshleld Is a graduate of Har vard university, having been a member of the clnss of 'IK). Ills father had mapped out 11 nautical designing career for him. Crownlnshleld buckled down Immediately to hard work. The first bonts he designed were very small, but he gradually went from one class to another. After successfully planning a myriad of 22 and 28 footers he tac kled 35 and 45 footers. The designing of the 1)0 foot Independence was the climax of his career. Designer Crownlnshleld Is naturally very sanguine as to the showing of the Independence In the coming trials with the Belmont syndicate craft, while he knows full well the wonderful ability of Nat llcrresliolT 111 bringing out cup winners, yet the Bostonlan has not a particle of doubt that his creation will prove the swifter. The American public Is awaiting with much Interest the outcome of the pre paratory rnces. The deckling of the American defender will, in fact, nttract as much attention as the actunl Inter national races with the British racer. P. T.
