There were 1600 patents issued by tho United States Patent Offico for electrical inventions during thc year 1804. Tho detailed report of tho Health Department shows that Brooklyn is healthier than any other of tho world's great cities. Tho trolleying process goes on, notes tho New York Recorder. Ne w Xork Central is to inn its excursion business between Eufialo aud Niagara Falls by trolley. John Schultz, of Lautonbur- Wost Frnssia, has invented a new kind oe paper, but tho authorities will nut allow its manufacture because whai -^IlLyaiB ?ritten on it may bo washed Oil' easily. Tho French idea that France is a good country to live ia is illastr.-its.l by tho fact that the French immigrant to this country iu the last fiscal year numbered ou?y 3G?2 persons-2112 men and 1350 women. "Thc advantages of kissing," FOJS Dr. A. E. Bridges iu tho British Hied: cal Journal, "outweigh its infinitesi mal risk; for impr?vidos us with mi crobes useful for digestion.'" Even the strongert advocate of kit-sin? will admit, opines the New York Tribune, that this is a somewhat grewsomo aid unpleasant view of osculation. There is still mouey iu real estate iu New York City, as is tkown by a tran saction of two young brokera, F.ako aud Dowling. Last December they bought the old building on the south west corner of Nassau and Liberty streets for $031,000. They sold out the property recently to a synd-'ente for SI, 150,000; a profit of $300,000 in three months is not so bad. Secretary Morton declares that tho plow has been less improved than nuv other agricultural implement, and that it packs down tho furrows it turns over, making them impervious to rainfall. Ho regards this matter of 6nch importanco that ho has Chan cellor Canfield, of tho Nebraska Stato University, to ask the 1600 students of that institution to try to invent a new plow. in tho atmospheTo^^vTi?cl unite with any other substance, prom ises to be followed by other equally important revelations in science. It may bc, suggests tho San Francisco Chronicle, that tho end of this century will be marked by discoveries a3 far reaching as those which revolutionized science when Darwin's great theory was given to the world. In an articlo on tho commercial value of weather forecasts published in the Engineering Magazine, by E. B. Dunn, he says that tho value of lifo and property 6avcd in a single great 6torm more than compensates for thc cost of maintaining tho Weath er Bureau. And doubtless he is right, adds the New York World. The world owes an unimaginably great debt to Matthew Fontaine Maury, tho inven tor of tho science of meteorology. A well-known European engineer who has been exploring the Panama Isthmus for many years reports that bo has discovered a route along the Toto, Javiesa and Tayra Eivers by which tho two oceans can be con nected by a ship canal at a total cost of not more than $13,000,000. The most important work on the route would be a tunnel under the Cordilleras two miles long, which could bo built for $11,000,000. Only two tidal locks, ono on each sido of tho mouutaiu, would be required. The London Spectator praises Lord Kosebcry for grauting a pension of o hundred pounds a year to Y/illiam Watson, and thinks he might also have conferred the laureateship on him without risking tho condemnation ol any judgment worth considering. It regards Swinburne as Watson's oulj rival, and thinks that not even the richness and melody of Swiuburne'e early plays could outweigh "tho lofty and sinularly crystal beauty of Mr. Watson's eleg?aos aud the delicate humor of his more familiar verso." The recent voto in the British House of Commons on the navy estimates was more than ordinarily significant aud impressive, declares the New York Tribune. Tho estimates, as is well known, aro unprecedentedly large. They pr?vido for au increaso of naval strength so vast as to startle even those who are most familiar with the "bloat ed armaments" of Europe. They com mit Great Britain definitely and em phatically to tba c <nstruction and maintenance of a fleet 1 trgcr aud mor J powerful than t?c combine 1 fleets ol any other two Powers, if not, indeed, of all the European Power-. TLioy are such as would a few years ago have aroused against them the opposition of a formidable party in both House and Nation. Yet on this occasion not one man of serions importance raised bis voice against them, and they went through the House with culy luirtj ??f9 dissenting votes. A Sim T SCENE. HOW MADAGASCAR'S QUEEN DE CLAKED AGAINST E1?AXCE. "nrefootcd, and Clothed In n Second Uand Whit? Satin Ball Dress Madcby Worin, ShcEx Iiorts Her People. ' Il ANGE'S enemy in Madagas car, the dusty Queen Ean avoloua Hf., against whose army tho French invaders aro advancing, on slate occasions appears wearing a second-hand Worth ball dress of fashion long gono by, and with a bnrboric crown on her head and nothing on her black feot. She appears in tho great square of AndriJho, at Tananarive, tho capital, where ehff issues stirring proclama tions to her people. Tho scene is a picturesque one. With one hand she grasps a sword and with vehement gestures emphasizes her exhortations, and with all tho pas sionate eloquence of her race threat ens, commands and prays her hearers to take np arms against and exter minate the hated white men who for ten years have held tho Nation in enroll. The war is a holy one, sho declares, ind the choicest blessings of the here lfter will bo tho reward of thoso who ?all. She also promises substantial rewards to tho victors who survive. Tho Prime Minister's dress is no ess striking. Its principal features ire a sort of dolman of purplo satin panglcd with gold, short trousers of flute silk and long boots. About ns waist ho wears a belt of yellow eather studded with gems, from whioh lADAGASCAE'S QUEEN IN A WORT! (From a s rings a Eword in ? golden scabbard, ho aunt and sister of the Queen wear ie nativo dress, with bare arms, their mg black hair streaming over their loulders. The military profession has been an npopular one in Madagascar of late ears, because the amount of booty nd pillage to be obtained has beeu mall, and it has therefore boen diffi ult to keep tho ranks filled. In timo f peace recruiting goc3 on for three nonths each year, but as eoon as a nfficient complement has been ob ained and drilling begin, desertions ommence, and in a short timo tho anks are badly thinned. Desertions .re rarely punished unless the}' fail to ?ribo their superior officers; thoo hey aro shot. Under the present cir inmstances, despite tho Queen's burn ng proclamations and harangues, the volunteers have been few, for tho na ives fear the French and do not ove their tyrannical ruler. Tho real monarch of Madagascar, lowever, is not Queen Eanavolona DI., or as sho prefers to be called, Ka aavolomanjaky UL, but it is the Primo Minister, Rainilaiarivony, whom tho curious law of tho land obliges to bo tho husband of the Queen. Ho is now past seventy years nf ago and has held his post for more than thirty years, during which time ho has been tho husband of turco dif ferent queens. Ho it is who decides all questions of state, and tho Queen's part is merely to indorso his judg ments, which she invariably docs. The French Protectorate, which was established after tho war of 1885, has been bitterly opposed by Ilain ilaiarivony, and his hatred of the whites has brought about the present conflict. Thc French, however, havo moro to fear from thc fevers of thc country than they havo from tho un trained troops which aro being gath ered with so much difficulty. The Queen is well educated, thirty five years old, and is fond of playing draughts and chewing betel. Her private expenses are paid from a fund to which all who enter her presence; are required to contribute a fivo-frauc piece (ono dollar).

Queen Anne will hava much to an swer for if she is held acconntablo for all the architectural abominations that have been erected in her name. During- the earlier days of this coun try, tho major part of tho dwellings tyere simple and plain and could give but little direct offence to aesthetic taste, even if lacking in some of the prime requisites of beauty. Thc larger and moro expensive honses were, happily, almost without excep tion, of tho ColoniaL etyle. and were dignified, stately, comfortable and substantial. But ns wealth became more widely diffused and the tastes of tho people grew moro pretentious, architecture developed along lines t?at wore ugly almost to tho verge of the grotesque. Simplicity gave place to elaboration that was without rhyme ar reason. Instead of utility adorned, which is, or should bc, the cud and iiui of architecture, ornateness was sought even at tho expense of utility. Thc hideous structures of tho "GO's iud 70's," which line "every street of the older cities and dot every suburb, svere tho result. Gradually these ibominatious grew to havo a certain limilarity and a name was needed for he style. Among tho different architectural ty les tho Queen Anuo seemed to invo the leant strongly marked pecu inritios. It was a sounding title, and he public, when it could not place a [welling as Gothic, classic, Renais anco, Colonial, or what not, gravoly ubbed it Queen Anne. So it has como bout in tho usage cf uninformedpco lo that tho Qaccn Anno style of arch I GOWN AND BARE FEET, DECLAP ketch mad? by a French resident ia Madagc ecturo has been widely perverted om its technical aud original signiQ mee.

This inoludes man tels but not the range and heater; the estimate based on New York prices for materials and labor, but in many sections of tho country the cost should be less. The name "Queen Anne" is quite misleading, for the stylo partakes more of tho nature of tho buildings of the earlier Renaissance or of the Elizabethan period than of those of Queen Anne's reign. It has also bor rowed from tho Renaissance of Ger many and France, ns well as some of its best features from the classic and tho late Gothic styles. The Queen Anne stylo is best fitted to villas and structures of that order. Veterans ot Foreign Birth. In tho Togus (Mo.)

Great quantities of tea aro exported to Bussia and Mongolia overy year in: the sbapo of bricks, writes Frank G.' Carpenter. These aro made of the lower grades of tea and of tea dust. The leaves are ground up and steamed and cooked until they aro soft and mushy. They are then put into molds about tho size of an ordinary brick and aro pressed into shape, so that they become as hard as chocolate cakes. The finer varieties aro molded into small cakes, in fact, of just about the size of tho small cakes of sweet ?hocolate which you buy in the candy ?tores. I visited several of the fac tories in Hankow, which make this dud of tea, and the process was even ess appetizing than that which I de scribed as to the ordinary tea. The 'actories, in the first place, are very varna. The steaming tea is handled ay dirty coolies, and is sweetened by jerspiration. After the bricks aro inished they are carried by boats up he rivers and canals to Tientsin, and rom thence go on camels into Mon golia and on to Russia,.
