NO. 52: Tenement bouses comprise thirty one per cent, of the buildings in New York, nnd firty per cent, of tho fires in the metropolis occur in them. During the first ten months of 1894 Great Britain exported agricultural machinery to the amount of $8,450, 000. A very largo proportion of this Went to Russia and the Argentine. Count Castellano, tho husband of . Anna Gould, can trace his familv tree back to its roots in the tenth century. "So far as known, the tree has never borne any $2,090,090 plums before," observes the Syracuse Post. Scientists now consider the exis tence of a new element, argon, as proved beyond a doubt. It is an in ert gas, forming somewhat less than one per cent, of the air, and has aa yet no useful task assigned to it. The official utterances of the Ger man War Minister aro unusually pa cific this year, admits tho Chicago Herald, but the fact remains that moro than 3000 workmen are kept engaged night and clay in making cartridges and other ammunition. Forts along both the eastern and western boundaries have been newly equipped, and, while thc Empire is talking of peace, only the button noed ho touched to bring about a trans? formation for war. A protest against the denudation in order to secare material for railroad ties is made in a report issued by the Agricultural Department at Washing ton on the uss of metal railroad ties and preservative processes and metal tie plates for wooden ties. It shows that about twenty per cent, of tba railroad mileage of tho world, outside of the United States and Canada, is laid on metal. In the United States little practical progress in metal ties is reported. The proportion of track laid with metal ties to the total length of railways throughout the world has increased from seven per cent, in 1890 to ten per cent, in 1894. Houseboats are gradually develop ing into a recognized feature o? American summer life-west os well as east of the Bocky Mountains. The fashion has been imported in the last place from England; but its origin may be traced to China, India and other Oriental countries, a large pro 'prtrfi'r.TT.rtf w^psfrvftopalaikm- is.__born, lives and dies on these floating homes. Tho New York Tribune thinks it will doubtless be news to many that house boats can be leased quito as cheaply as cottages for tho hot months of the year, and that they offer many ad vantages, which are afforded neither by the country villa nor by the sum mer hotel to those in search of change of scene and air. "The click of the American clock is heard around tho world," says an Eng lish newspaper. We sell clocks to the value of nearly Sl,509,000 yearly in the markets of tho world. , England is the largest buyer, tating almost one-half of that amount. Wc import directly to every country in the world but Turkey, Switzer lani aud Bou mania. In Australia, China anl Japan we have hardly any rivals in thc clock trade. Not only are our clocks the best timekeepers iu tho world, but they exist in such great variety. Every sort of material is used-glass, ivory, pearl, plush, marble, metal, paint, porcelain. All sorts of devices are at tached for special purposes. Clock making and hat making are two orig inal Yankee industries. In the latter, 6tates the New York Advertiser, we have not kept pace with soma other countries, but in clocks we lead the world. _ The Chicago Bscord says. The Scientific Library of the Paten* duce -now numbering p^ut 05,000 vol umes-is the best ^chnical library in the United Si?^8? and ope high authority has declar^-tilt-vi has no superior in the world. Among :fs reference collections, it contains a se ries of English patents from their be ginning in 1G17 to date, comprising upward of 5000 volumes of text -ind plates; a series of French patents numbering about 900 volumes ; 800 volumes of German patents ; and com plete sets of the patents of Victoria, 1 Queensland, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Bussia, Austria, Norway, Belgium and Sar dina, each containing less than 10C volumes. The whole collection rec ords more than half a million patents, or just about the number that has been issued in thc United States alone. Since the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876, the first great exposition in America, the patents taken out in tho United States have far exceeded in number all that the Government had previously issued. But the impulse of the exposition was not immediately felt, being first perceptible in the number of patent applications in 1830. : We are now, in the opinion of the Commissioners of Patents, and prob- j ably of other thoughtful men, in a season of reflection or of the maturing of inventive material, and we may confidently expect soon, as a conse quence of tho World's Fair at Chi cago, to enter upon a period of still greater activity in the field of inven tion than has hitherto been known. CHURCH OS WHEELS. BISHOP WALKBK'S NOVEL PLAN IN DAKOTA. A Portable C?iurcb, in Which thc Prelate Travels to Many Places Remoto From Ordiuary Pulpit Influence. AROMET went to thc mountain because the mouutain would not come to him. lu liko manner, pays tho New York World, the Protestant Episcopal Church in North Dakota bas built a cathedral which goes to the people. Taking the sug gestion from the inissiouary ships which fly from island to island in Oce?nica, Eight Ber. William David Walker, bishop of tho missionary diocese of North Dakota, got together the necessary funds nod built a port able church. In 1831 "Thc Church of the A'ivcnt'' was l.iuuched unou its mission among the widely t-cattcred villages on the linc of thc Northern Pf ciiic, Chicago, Milwaukee r.nd St. Paul, Great Northern and "Soo"Eail TRAVELING CHURCH OF E PISCO! roads within tho limits of North Dakota. This was and is tho only cathedral j car in the world. Its success induced John D. Rockefeller to defray thc cost of a car, which is being operated over the entire line of the Northern Pacific Railroad by Boston Smith, a Baptist evangelist. A movement is also on foot to construct a car for missionary sorvice among the colored people of the Southern States. There have been at various times missionary boats on the Western rivers, the Evangel bcicg au especially elaborate affair, with a oeatiug capacity of 309. "Thc Church of tbc Advent" differ?, however, from all of these, in that it is but incidentally a missionary car, being^priniurily the cathedral of the diocese, and it will remain as such until the further development of the State warrants a moro conventional arrangement. North Dakota has eighteen estab lished churches und forty-five missions of the Episcopal faith. The growth has been very slow, as the bulk of the immigration into the State has been from countries where the English Church is np known. The majority pf tho Episcopalians in the^St?te are from Canada; the remainder are English people and Easterners. Tho cathedral car was built at Pullman, 111., and cost $3000. Its principal external featuro is the Gothic projection, or transept. Charles G. Haight, a New York archi tect, drew the plans. Tho car is sixty foot long. At one end is the chancel, with altar, lectern and font. A cabi net organ occupies a position at ouo side of tho car. The body of tho cathe dral is equipped with eighty chairs. In the rear of the chancel is a snug lit tle apartment, which Bishop Walker facetiously calls the Episcopal palace. INTERIOR OF THE TR AV By day this serves as a study, rectory, robing-room, and, on occasion, as a kitchen. At night a berth is let down, and the Episcopal palace becomes tho bishop's bedchamber. The body of the interior of tho car ?? Arched in antique oak. The church idea is very emphatically impressed by the Gothic panels and the carvings of sacred symbols. Nearly every Episco pal church in America contributed its mite to the construction fund. The altar was tho gift of a church at Sum mit, N. J. The lectern was furnished asa memorial by a Philadelphia clergy man, the son of tho late Bcv. Dr. Con rad, of tho Church of the Heavenly Rest. Mrs. Colt, of Hartford, Conn., gave tho silken cloth and the linen was the offering of tho wife of the Bishop of Fredericktou, New Brunswick. Tho bishop's chair came from Daveuport, Iowa. St. James's Church of Brooklyn donated tho altar books. Tho font was the gift of Calvary Church of New York. Chicago sent tho solid silver communion service, and the Young Ladies' Missionary Society of the Church of the Heavenly Rest presented the organ, which is a high-cluss instru ment. Bishop Walker sends placards to the railroad stations he intends to visit, I by which he announces his coming. These are posted ten days ahead, in order that news of tho approach of the Church of tho Advent may reach the ranchmen and farmers of the sur rounding district. On tho appointed day the biuhop is prepared to admin ister the sacraments ol the communion and confirm?t iou, solemuize marriages, administer the rite of baptism or or dain qualified applicants in the mis sionary service of the church. The car is hauled from place to place behind freight trains, the Presidents of the four railroads over which it runs hav ing agreed to transport it free of ohurge. In Bishop Walker's most re cent report to tho Episcopal Board of Missions ho speaks of hav ing just returned from a trip embrac ing eighty towns, villages, hamlets and "vicinities." In no instance was his congregation less than seventy-five souls, although the immediate popu lation of the point visited was in many instances less than forty. Rauchmen nnd farmers with their families would often ride a distance of fifty miles to attend services in tho traveling church. Many people attended, no doubt, through a feeling of pure curiosity. On this point the bishop tells tho story of tho old Scotch woman who boasted to her rector of having at tended church on the previous Sun day, but when catechised she could re call neither tho test nor a single point of the sermon. "What good, then, doc3 it do yon to go to church?" tho rector asked. For answer tho old woman pointed to a lot of freshly-washed linen hanging on tho lino and asked him whether there were any signs on it of the soap and water through which it passod, yet it Was better for its experience. The cathedral car is especially pop ular among the railroad men and they attend the services in largo numbera. 'AL DIOCESE OF NORTH DAKOTA. Bishop Walker travels with a single servant, who acts also as sexton of the cathedral. On rare occasions the bishop has been called upon to offici ate at funerals. Bishop Walker was born in New York City in 1839, aud after ordina tion served for many years as assist ant in charge of Calvary Chapel. In 1883 the missionary district of North Dakota was created, and he was as signed ta it. He became conspicuous in church history by his labors among the Indians, and in 1887 ho was ap pointed by President Cleveland as one of tbe National Board of Indian Commissioners. Tho cathedral car is on the road fully niuo month} ot tho year, and the bishop has at timed suffered much privation during the winter months. Giant Among Sailing Ships. When the Wilson Line steamship Persian Monarch ran ashore on a Long Island sandy beach about nine months ago it was several days before she was dragged off and hauled to Erie Basin, where it was found she was badly etove-in forward. The vessel was a big iron steamship, with aTTr?n?e?dous cargo-carrying capacity, but she was slow. Her owners, who were willing to seil, could not get a price big enough to enable them evento pay tho wreck ers' salvage, so she was put up at pub lic auction to pay tho latters' claims. She was purchased "for a song" by Charles K. Flint, who has had the old craft converted into a sailing vessel. The transformation from a low, raking steamer to a sailing vessel with sky scraping masts has been completed. The Persian Monarch is the largest sailing ship afloat. She is 411 feet BUNG CATHEDRAL CAR. over all, When the canvas on hor tall spars and wide-spreading yards is thrown to tho wind there will be an oxposod area of 10,000 square yards. Mr. Flint will fly the Stars and Stripes from the maintopmast-head of tho great vessel. Her measurement is 3923 tons. Her masts tower 184 feet from the keel, and tho great fore, main and jack cross yards aro ninety-five feet long. Tbc four great masts and spreading yards aro all of steel. The bowsprit and jib boom extend out forty feet; tho royal yard is fifty-six feet ; tho topgallant yard is sixty-five feet, and the upper topsail yard eighty-five feet. The spanker boom is fifty-six feet in length. Approaching tho Persian Monarch in sizo the French bark Franco is 3624 tons, the British 'hip Liverpool is 3330 tons, and the handsome clipper bow American five-masters Shenandoah and Roanoke are 3400 tons each. A peculiar feature about tho Monarch ia that her straight steamer bow remains unchanged.

Either Double or Single Breasted-A Coat aud Skirt En Suite is Invaluable-Jabots and Collars? T has been decreed, says Ella Starr in tho New York Recorder, that tho applique of cloth upon cloth shall distinguish many of the tailor-mado costumes of the season. This does not imply simply an ap plied pattern of cloth upon a plain surface, but the idea is elaborated in a dozen and one different and charm ing ways. Ono delightful example recently displayed is in faced'cloth of thc new brown, with revers of biscuit colored cloth, covered .with applique designs in dark brown velvet. Broad, flaring turn-over cuffs . are made to correspond. The new coat is easy enough to COATS WITH THE I ! make when the cloth is thick enough to dispenso with lining, and then one length of silk will be sufficient, if cut down the centre, to face tho fronts and make a nice, neat finish. Some times the fullness at tho back is set in two box-pleats, cut in one length with the coat, as in the double-column illustration. The sleeves aro of mod erato size, with the fullness collected well round the top of the arm, and not spreading all down thc armhole, as this gives a broad effect and shortens the figure. The cuffs are mounted on stiff canvas, and the lapels aro also stiffened and lined with silk. A large number of tho new jackeis and coats display bishop sleeves aud very large revers. In most of these it is noticeable that the revers are double, the upper one being made of cloth, and tho under one of lighter silk or cloth, white being used to a very large extent. Tho object of these double revers is, of course, obvious ; forshould [ the light ones become dirty, aa they probably will, they can bo easily re moved to be cieaned, for they are made separately and buttoned on under neath. Jackets arc'short, and while]the skirt part of the backs are almost invariably itt ilutes, the fronts vary to a wonder ful degree. A great many have loose fronts, either single or double breasted, with pockets inserted in the sides, with or without lapels, and another grace ful shapo is slightly fitted in to the figure at the underarm seams, and is caught together at tho breast with a singlo button. For this season's wear, a coat and skirt en suite is surely invaluable in every wardrobe, and as tho warmer days approach, the skirt is of tho great est service to wear with shirt waists and blouse bodices. All kinds of faced cloth are largely used for theso costumes, as well as Amazons and habit cloths, coarse-ribbed sorge, and tho delightfully soft zibelines, with silky hairs strewn over the surface. These are all sown in the new tints, which are dull and artistic, and simply re peat old colorings in softer and more subdued tones. Tweeds aro also popu lar, but covert coatings will not en joy that extreme popularity which was bestowed upon them last season. SOME NEW EVEN'ING SLEEVES. Tho sleevo on tbe left of the dia gram is intended for gauzo or chiffon, and it takes two wholo widths of forty-three inch chiffon, or ono and one-half widths of gauze. This is gath ered up very full all round the arm hole, and left nearly double the length of thc sleeves. Thc lower edge is gathered along and sewn to tho bot tom of the sleeve, and a ribbon strap collects and holds some of tho fulness ab|ut two-thirds of tho length from tho top. Tho short sleevo on tho right of thc same diagram is suitable for two ma terials, such as satin and brocade, or satin and velvet, tho epaulette being always of the heavier fabric. Thc full puff is first arranged on a foundation of Jess size, and over this comes the epaulette edged with trimmiug, and left loose at the edgo and ends. Broad bands, covered with jewels or bordered with passementerie, aro equally as fashionable as frills, but require a well shaped and full arm to provo be coming. SASHES. Sashes arc to be worn with most ol tho inexpensive dresses, and some very pretty ones are made of long length: of fine grenadine, either in colors or black. These aj o finished with fringe of knotted silk or fine strands ol beads. One extremely handsome sash of grenadine has a fringe of black cord ' I Jg silk witjh alternate strands of very fine jet tippisd. with arrow-shaped heads. With this-sash is worn an adjnstablo yoko of* black velvet and grenadine. The yoko is cnt square across the front and bael.', and at the corners of tho front n?xt to the sleeves there are ro settes of.the grenadine with long tas sels of silk and jet to match the fringe of the sash. Fjom boneath those tas sels there aro velvet straps that ex tend to .the waist line, meeting in a point id front. These ure fastened un der tho sash. This makes on exceed ingly pretty and stylish trimming for an otherwise iimplo dress. ? JiB0T3 AND COLLARS. For half-long jabots, says the New York Prjess, de chino and monsselaine chiffon ;aro much used, principally witboufrtho addition of lace. Paris makes these articles in plisse, finished with o collar or thick ruche with How ers intermingled, principally daisies, the jabot itself being opsn in the mid dle, where it leaves free space for their display.? 50X-PLEATED BACK. Novelties aro plaited black tulle col lars with ribbon arrangement and a ribbon bow or several colored rosettes where il? fastens in the front. A fljujip collarette is shown herewith which coffers materially from styles hitherto|produced. A stiffened lining forms tile foundation, on which are sown lo?jps of satin ribbon with artifi cial flo\wrs arranged at regular inter vals in fjbeir folds. On either side of the centjfe front hang two 6o(tly plaited ends of chiffon, which match the rib bon in fiblor and are finished with a double felf-shirring edged with fine net-top applique lace. A NEW IDEA IN COLLARS. A band of satin ribbon overlaid with closely* clustered stemles? blossoms, finished with a large outstanding bow in the back where it fastens, consti tutes more simple style. OVER TUE EYES NOW. Tho latest hats are not perched on the extreme back of the head as they have been all winter, with an effect of being about to glido off backward. On the contrary', in tho present headgear the pendulum has swung to thc oppo site extremo, and tho dainty little confections of lace and jet aro tipped down over tho eyes. TAILOR MADE SUITS. Tailor mado suits of wonderful va riety are being displayod in tho Now York shop windows. These aro of now shades and principally of tweed, whip cord or cheviot. The short jackets of the suits to be worn this summer are very natty, some buttoning almost to the collar with a fly, and others open ing in front, and finished on each side with a large pointed rever. Expansion ol Water In Freezing. Mr. Prompt read a paper before tho French Academy of Sciences concern ing the augmentation of tho volume of water at the moment of its transforma tion into icc. His experiments wero maile with a view to ascertain the cause of this pheuomenou. To this ond he caused water to frcozo in a trans parent bulb. According to Mr. Prompt, inst a cloar aud trauspareut layer of thc ico is formed, then another layer traversed by streaks at the points of which gaseous bubbles appear. These bubbles, compresied moro and moro by the formation of tho icc, eventually break tho vessel in which freezing water is confined. By using distilled water from which all gases had been set free, aud protect ing thc water by covering it with oil, Prompt claims to have frozen tho water without obtaining any dilation of the volume originally taken up. La Nature. The city of Charleston, S. C.? has concluded the parchase of SOO acres of land on tho Cooper Biver, fivo miles from the city, for a public park. It has a vigorous natural growth of pine and oaks. An avenue 100 feet wida will be constructed.

Lane, writing in tho Pro gressive Thinker, gives tho following narratives ot experience .with Mrs. Isa Kay nor at Milwaukee, Wis. : "Tho feature of the evening was the 'fire test,' during which Mrs. Kaynor handled with impunity a very* hot cylinder, direct from over the flame of a kerosene lamp; also passing paper, bank bills, silk and lace hand kerchiefs through tho flame without burning them, although one of tho gentlemen of the committee chosen by tho audience was well blistered for daring to handle the same glass cylin der which Mrs. Kaynor had held to her face for over ono and a half minutes by the watch, while it was on the burning lamp. A boy of eleven placed his hand confidently in Mrs. Kaynors, and, thus protected, 6he pressed his hand "ghtly against tho hot cylinder for over half a minute, the boy experiencing but a pleasant sensation of warmth. After experi ments with the cylinder she took it off and proceeded to pass her fingers slowly through the flame, then the hand, and finally the whole arm up to the elbow. Before beginning opera tions Mrs. Kaynor had insisted on being washed in the presence of the audience by some of the committee who thoroughly soaped hands and arms, and demonstrated that chemicals were not used to protect her. Paper, and also silk, whisk- Mrs. Kaynor had slowly held in the flame, and passed through it without injury, were burned upon being tried similarly by others, when Mrs. Kaynor motioned them to do so." Smallest Crclist In tho World. In San Francisco thero may be seen any bright day a tiny figaro on a tiny bicycle, scurrying along the roadways of the park of that oity. This is little Laurino Devany, who is the smallest bioyolist in the world.

Tho pictnro of her which is given here 6hows what a roguish little face she has, and what a chubby little sprite she is in her blouse and bloomers. Those who have seen her ride say it is THE BAD Y BICYCLIST. something to remember, as those twinkling legs churn tho pedals and the bright curls toss back from beneath the Tam o' Shanter as she races before the wind. Innovation in Ambulance Cars. An important test, with a view to mitigating the sufferings of those who are unfortunate enough to bo tho tem porary occupants of the ambulanco wagon, is now in progress. Tho jolt ing nnd noiso of the wheels as tho car is dragged rapidly over thorough pave ment of city streets often inflict the cruelest torture on tho palicnt who may be'already enfeebled by disease or bodily injury. Two rubber-tired am bulances, one equipped with solid and the other with pneumatio tires, are be ing experimented ?with. When ^up plied with rubber-shod wheels tho wagons, which usually have to bo made very heavy for the sake of greater sta bility and consequent reduction of vi bration, may be lightened at least 403 pounds. This lessens tho load for the horses and diminishes tho cost of con struction. So far it is found that from the great weight of the ambulance tho pneumat.o tiles collapse very often, and the severo strain tears the solid tires from tho wheels, but it is certain that the uso of rubber in some form wilVeventually bo adopted.-New York Advertiser.

Why should any woman be an un pleasant reflection of herself in the mirror is the query of varied curista of the day. There are tonics to fatten and exercises to reduce; athletics to produco strength and color and dyes to subdue or brighten the shade of one's hair. Is the complexion bad? Then cos metics and coloring matter are push ed aside to give way to massage and steaming, for the method of personal art is growing more healthful every day. The manicurist and the hair dresser care for tho two extremities in an artistic.manner and tho curves that nature or gymnastics have not sufficiently developed are left to the art of the couturi?re and the South's staple production. But-wail wom en !-given figure, complexion and coloring complete, one's features remain often a serious blemish. Just hero is where tho surgical curist, the dermatologist, steps in. These "promoters" of good looks claim to arrange a harmonious con tour in tho features that nature thought wise to neglect. Should the forehead wrinkle small slits are made at the junction where tho hair grows and the skin pulled up smooth and taut and a bit of adhesive plaster put on ; and the wound soon heals. If the cheeks ' aro inclined to be "saggy.'-' wrinkle deeply about the mouth andsoem to lack muscle the incisions are made in the extreme outer surface of the cuticle near the ears and the same method omployed. These bits of neat surgery require skill, but are not dangerous, as the operation is con fined entirely to tho top layer and not extending to dangerous depths. Also, the marking leaves no scars and the pain is incidental. However, there aro the siraploc operations. For the changing of tho features more skillful and compro mising treatment is advanced. Ono's nose can be enlarged or narrowed, the ears can be put at a different an gle, the eyebrows be thickened or thinned and the eyelashes mad? longer. This is done by fine instru ments and in the case of those suf ficiently venturesome to try the ex periment tho result has been most satisfactory to patient and derma tologist. A nobler test of the curist's art is to punctuate the eyes with a harm less solution that broadons the color line or deepens it, as the case is de sired. This is an operation that is doubtful and has been tested by a minority only. Puncturing the cheeks with a so lution of rosaline and glycerine with other component parts that aro not given away by the preparer is a trick of the trade that is more popular. Small needles are used, and the col oring matter injected under the epi dermis which produces a roseate glow that pervades for at least a year. As to the wisdom of these proceed ings toward personal adornment the individual must choose. One may question thc judiciousness of the course, but the fact exists that it is done. A Leading New Yo.?k Lawyer. Joseph H. Choate, who was presi isnt of the recent New York state constitutional convention, is re garded among -members of the legal profession as the most astute as well as profound lawyer of tho New York bar. JOSEPH H. CHOATE. His methods are genteel, but keener than a Damascus blade. Few wit nesses dare undertake under his questioning to weave a fabrication, and tho truth if told none too well is liable to get an opposing victim in trouble. Mr. Choates likes particu le rly to shatter the hypocrisy of a man's life. It was he who, without other provocation than his general dislike to Russell Sage's methods of obtaining riches, called him in open court recently a self convicted swind- , 1er and robber.
