THE SCULPTOtt.
The distinguished Fronoh sculptor,
Frederic Augusto Bartboldi, by whose
hands tho ropounso statue of "Liberty
Enlightening tho World" haa been
, shapod, was born nt Colmar, in France,
and is nbout 60 voars of age.
Aa a pupil of tho famous Ary Sohef
for, hla artistic ability waa rocognizod
lu the bas-relief of "Francesca do Rim
ini," oxocutod in 1852. His namo waa
lirst brought into prominence^Jlow
ovor. In the United Statoa in 1872,when
his well-known stntuo of L:\fnyotto waa
forwarded aa a gift Jrom tho pooplo of
Franco and placed in Unton Square,
New York City.
At tho Coiiionnlal/whoro ho waa one
of the Fronoh Commissioners, he waa
awardod a medal for the' exhibition of
tho bronzo statuos of "Poace," "Tho
Young Vino Growor," and 4lGonlus Id
tho Grasp of Misery." Ho - is also o
Chovalior of the Legion of Honor In
hla native country.
It waa hla wish that France should
present to the pooplo of the United
Btatea a suitable gift oommemorativo
of the traditional fooling of good 1 will
existing betwean the two Nations^ Ho
thoroforo volunteered his artistic ser
vices for the construction of an cnor
moua iiguro roprosouting "JLlborty En
llghtenfng the World to bo plaoed on
Uodloe'a Island in New York Harbor,
and* ho became ao enthusiastic in car
rying on tho projoot that whon sub
scriptions lagged ho plodgad hla own
private tortuno to dofray the running
cxnonsos of tho work.
Bartboldi has mado his mark in Pa
risian art, and ia at prosent ongagod
in the aoulpture of a masiivo lion out
of tho aolld rock in tho side of a moun-?

Twenty miles is the distanoe peno

In use. Thts power, it ippears, Is
gained by two slotted oyttnders, one
xed and the other revolving in it
Tho slots, aa they pass ouo another,
stop or out off tho paUagfli.of coimpress
ed air or steam, thus causing a sorios
of vibrations, and, oonsoquontly, a mu
sical note, tho pitch ol which depends
upon the speed of the revolving cylin
der. In ordor to vary this note it is
only neoespary to oontrol this velocity.
The doublo-note horn is formed with a
casing, within which area fixed slotted
cylinder and a revolving cylinder mov
l-~ upon a swindle. Tho slots are
mea in eaoli oylinder at opposite in
olined angles, so that the motive fluid
impinging against a number of inclin
ed planes causes tho inner cylinder t&
revolvo with groat rapidity, oarryiug

common spindlo, and upon their peri
pheries are pressed lovers, under tho
uotion of small pistons oporatod by dia
phragms, lo tho outer surface of which

of an apparatus consisting of a boiler

sufficient to resist 800 pounds prossure
por squarfl Inoh, and has a track ex
tending for its whole length along

this they avo a second time rollod into
balls, and finally transformed into
pulp, rice-water boing mixed with it.
Tho subsoqu nt treatment of the pulp
is idontlcal with that of tho ordinary
manufacture of paper. "Leather pa

of many shoots of the material previ
ously stooped iu "yonoko," pressed,
and glazed with "sheilas."
Tho operation has been eucoe^sfully
accomplished by a Gu'inui) chemist of
soparatln^ rags of cotton and wool
mixed by subjecting thom to tho action
of a jot of suporheatod stoam. Undor
a pressure of live atmospheres tho
wool melts and sinks to tho bottom of
tho reoeptaole, while cotton, linen, and
other vegetablo fibres stand, thus re
maining: suitable for paper manufac
ture, The liquid mnd which contains
the wool preoipitated by this means is

is given the namo of azotlneL is com*

S)ttb quite at important a growth as i
at of goot|i, in the "Jtovlow ot the
World'? Economy," Already named,
tho number of passengers carried by
all the railroads In all parts of the
world, In 1889, is estimated at 2,400,
000,000, or nn avorAgo of six. and half
million A day. The Absolute number
of passengers carried on eteamort is
finmltor; but boro, AS WAt also tho oaso
with goods, they are oarrled for longor
distance*, and moro days' Journeys,
then on railroads; so that, ostimated
by the milo of the day* tho Amount
both of freight and pASsenger work the
steamers do will appoar to much hotter
advantage. '
Tho ?Jgnlfloanoe ot tho facilitation of |
passenger transportlon is dorived prln
oipally from its effoots on soolal oondt
tions, civilisation, and customs. One
of tho piost important of those effects
is illustrated in emigration, whlph has
assumod grand dimensions under the
oporatlon of tho new methods of eom
jauinlotitlon. Of tbe twelve and a half
million emigrants who wont to the
United State* botwoon the rop<>g?Stlon
of their Indepondonco and 1888, not
more than o million belong to the time
previous to the establishment of reg
ular passonger oommunloatlon by

A result Of the nHtabllsbmont of this
mothod of oommunloatlon, and of tho
building of railroads that oponod the

An inoldent that occurred at Moscow
in Deoember, 1880, affords an apt illus
tration of the trivial causes from whioh
disorders sometimo arlso. Prof. Zorn
off was giving a leoture on anatomy to
an attentive audlonoe, when nil nt onco
a loud and unusual nolso was heard in
the noxt room, and most of tho stu
donts ran out to see what had happon
od. Nothing particular had happened,
but the professor, annoyod at tho in
terruption of his locturo, mado a oom
5Taint to tho authorities. Tho next
ay it was statod that tho complaint
had lod to tho oxpulslon of sovoral
members of the anatomy olasfl. A
punlshmont so sevoqp for nn offonso so
Venial kindled gonoral indignation. A
mooting was oulled and a resolution
passed calling upon the rector for an
explanation. But instead of tho rector
aamo tho ohlof of tho Moscow polloe,
followed by a great array of gen
darmes, Cossfeoks, and infantry, who
orderod tho meeting to disperse. The
young fellows woro now greatly ox
Oited, and, though they would havo
llstenod to reason, rofused obedionco
to the behests of brute foroe. On this
the aula was surrounded by tho 4ol?
diord, all tho issuos wore boset, the
4tudent9 to the nutnbet of four hun
dred were takon prisoners, and amid
a square of bftvohoU nturchod off to
jail. Affairs ol this sort do not always
olid with simple arrests. At the least
show of reslstanco tho foot soldiors
make froo uso of tho butt ends of their
gaskets, tbo Cossaok* ply thoir whins,
tho faces of the Btudonts stroam with
blood, somo are thrown wounded to
tho ground, and thero ensues a terrible
sdono of hrmod Vtolouco and unavail
ing reslstanoe. It happonod thus nt
Knarkoff, in Novomber, 1878, when
some troubles aroso from a mot-o mls
understanding botwoon a profossor at
tho veterinary colloge and ono of his
otasses, a misunderstanding whioh a
few words of explanation would have
to removo. It was thus at
Mopoow and St. Petersburg during tho
d^order# of 1801,1808, aud I860, npd I
lii o&rtaln ohoumstances the law sanc
tions oven grossor outragos. In 1878
an enactment, tho cruelty of which it
f isimposslblo to oxaggerato, was pro
mulgated. "Con<ldorttig," It ran,
