There have been sunk in bank fail* vres in Philadelphia in the past eight years a sum estimated by the Phila delphia Press at $8,000,000, a part of which has been public money. Towa is considered a very slow go ing, conservative State, and yet in 1897 she very quietly extracted from the earth more than $8,000,000 worth of coal, zinc, lead, iron, gypsum and clay, to say nothing of the millions upon millions of dollars' worth of corn, wheat, oats and other agricultural products. Of such is the West. One of the leading statisticians of Germany Axes the world’s population at the present time at 1,535,000,000 souls, making the total gain for the year immediately preceding 23,000,- 000 souls. To this increase Europe is credited with contributing 5,700,- 000; Asia, 0,200,000; Africa, 7,500,000; America, 3,200,000. The United States, with its groat growth, esti mated by this authority at 72,300,- 000, represents more than fifty-three percent, of the entire population of North and South America—a circum stance adduced as highly significant and occnring in no other part of the earth. The population of Europe was increased to 378,600,000 which is about a quarter of the entire popula tion of the earth. Says the Chicago Evening Post: There will bo general approval of the ordinance just passed limiting the height of buildings in this city to ten stories and 130 feet. This may prove a hardship to the owners of some high- priced central real estate—the value of which is raised by the presence of some neighboring skyscraper. But the public welfare, pleasure and safe ty are paramount to private interests. All Chicago will bo benefited by a reasonable limitation on the height of its aspiring office buildings. There is plenty of office and store room in the business district below eleven stories for the accommodation of the bnsinoss of a city of 10,000,000. When Chicago has reached that pop ulation it will have oatgro wn its pres ent busiaess center.

THe.report that the woman in San Francisco from whom the entire stom ach was removed over a month ago is alive and doing well and the probabil ity that the patient in Zurich from whom the same organ was extirpated in September last is in the same con dition tends, thinks the New York Herald, to upset many of tire popular notipns regarding what [is generally considered a very essential part of the digestive function. In view of the successful issue of these surgical ven tures, aud in the light of past experi ences following similar but less exten- eive operations, the possibilities of compensatory intestinal digestion are quite clearly demonstrated. In one case occurring in Stettin in which the major part of the stomach was re moved, in 1895, the patient lived two aud a half years, the upper portion of the attached intestine having formed a new stomachal poach capable of holding a pint of fluid. It is well known that dogs can survive the de privation of this” organ for a long period, and one animal now famous in the annals of physiological experi mentation lived thus for five years. It would appear from these and similar studies in alimentation that the stom ach when organically diseased may be come more a passive than an active agent in the digestive process. Es pecially is this possible when the or gan is gradually deprived of its func tion by a steady and slowly infiltrat ing cancerous deposit. Practically, then, in the severe cases requiring operation the stomach itself virtually has become a supernumerary part in the organism. The results in these cases prove not only the wonderful adaptability of nature to imperativo requirements but open up a new ebap- tef in the history of surgical triumphs and life-saving measures. A Writer Whom Boy* Love. Jules Verne, the French author who wrote “Twenty Thousand Leagues Un der the Sen,” and many other tales of adventure, eats almost nothing but eggs and herbs, it is said.

He arises early In the morn ing and works steadily till 11 o'clock. Strangely enough, though he has writ ten many books of travel, Mr. Verne has not traveled much, but haa secured his information from reading stories of the travels of others. An Ostrich's Appetite./ It swallow's oranges, small Iturtles, fowls, kittens and bones. A South African writer tells of one swallowing a Ikjx of peaches, tennis balls, several yards of fencing wire and half a dozen cartridges. One followed the workmen and picked up the wire as they cut it. Most frequently the ostrich does not swallow each dainty separately, but collects several In its throat and then swallow’s them all at once. Sometimes It Is strangled. Its windpipe is then cut, the obstacle taken out and the wound sewed up, when all goes well again. Two Masquerader*. These two unique and saucy doglets hall from Australia.

A never-failing stream of Ice- cold water flows into this old house, forming a iiool several feet deep. Here, since John Ritchie left Lynn’s fort and built himself an indeiwndent dwelling, it Is alleged a giant buff frog has had its home. As the frog family Is en dowed with great longevity, It is said by those w ho ought to know that It is reasonable to believe that the frog Is the same one which took up Its resi dence in the Ritchie springhouse in pioneer times. What lends color to this theory is the fact that there has never been but one frog seen In the neighborhood of the old spring and Mr. Stephen Ritchie, now a man well advanced In years, states that this same frog, or one very similar to It, had Us home in the spring when he was a child and that he has often heard his grandmother term the frog her rain sign. The frog is said to be of vast pnqiortions, with a thunder ous voice that can be heard a great dis tance. It Is very active and shows no evidence of Us century or more of years. He Knew the Beat. “Tommy,” said the younger lady, sharply, as her little brother opened the door softly, and was about to enter the parlor, “you shut that door from the outside and then take yourself off to bed at once!” Then she went on: “No, Mr. Borem, It is with the deep est regret that I say it, but I can only be a sister to you and ” “Never mind the rest of it, Misa Chil ton.” interrupted Mr. Borem, sadly; “I shall follow the example of my brother and take myself off to bed at once.” And, crawling Into bis fur-lined ulster, he lighted a cigarette and waded out into the gelid night WONDERS OF WELBECK. ^markable l mlerjpronnd Ballroon Tunnel*. Everybody has heard of the under ground ballroom at Welbeck Abbey, where the Price and Princess of Wales have just been the guests of the Duke and Duchess of Portland; but com paratively few know the real extent of the buried splendors of Welbeck. Theso wonders of Welbeck were the work of the present Dnke’s father, who in the latt&r years of his life avoided completely the society of his fellow-creatures, with the exception of a few trusted personal attendants. His first step, says a correspondent of the Chicagcx News, was to take exception to the p^"Iio right of way across his park, anV. counteract this his grace had paths sank six feet below the sur face, covering them with an arched roof of alternate turf and glass and having them lighted where necessary with gas. There were two miles of these tnnnels made from the Duke’s own designs. After this his grace be gan the remarkable series of subter ranean structures which cost him, it is said, nearly $10,000,000, and kept 1500 woikmen employed for nearly eighteen years. So enamored was the Duke of this subterranean idea that he had all the buildings of his thirty-five park lodges constructed in the same fashion and flighted with bullseyes from the top. They cost nearly $5000 each to build. But everythiug at Wel beck is on a colossal scale. There is a wonderful old oak tree in the park which has au arch cut through its trunk through which a coach and four oould be driven, aud its grapevines are so magnificent that some years ago one huge bunch of Syrian grapes was found to weigh nearly twenty pounds and was carried by two nndergardeners on a pole to Wentworth i House, Rother ham, as a’ipresent to the late Lord Fitzwilliam. The kitchens at Wel beck are marvelous both in dimensions and in the perfection of their equip ment, and the dishes are conveyed from there to the dining-room by means of a miniature underground railway. IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED. Preartrve* For Wild Bird*. So deeply interested have the friends of the feathered tribe become in their preservation that efforts are being made to establish preserves for wild birds. Game laws have proven wholly inadequate to protect many of our most interesting and attractive birds, and many varieties are threatened with entire extinction. In England, Wolmer Forest is suggested as a suit able park for this purpose. For the last two or three years earnest efforts have been made to protect a few of the most timid wild birds. Herons have in consequence multiplied rapid ly, and other birds show decided evi dences of increase. It would be well for the Congress of the United States to pass a bill setting apart for this purpose some of the almost useless swamp lauds iu our domains. There are many tracts of no great value where wild birds of all sorts could find a refuge. The laws of protection shfuld be supplemented with provisos (Verest penalties for tbffir violation. It should be made au offence to kill a wild bird within a certain limit of this reserved forest. Of course, the birds would emerge from their seclusion and fly abont the neighborhood, but if they became troublesome they could be driven back by the firing of blank cartridges. Un less some special measures are taken, it will require but a few years to drive all of our choicest wild birds from our hedges, and they will in time perish entirely at the hands of cruel and avaricious sportsmen.—New York Ledger. Captain Sigsbee’* Valley. The deepest valley in the Gulf of Mexico is named “Sigsbee’s Deep,” after its discoverer, and the scientific name of Sigsbeia murrhina is given to one of the rarest species of deep sea fauna. It was Sigsbee, too, who dis covered near the Moro light, not far from the spot where the Maine now lies, many beautiful specimens of the Pentacrini, or sea lilies, and who, while in command of the Blake, placed at the disposal of scientific investi gators the first extensive collection of this ancient genus. Thus has Captain Sigsbee associated his name with the harbor of Havana both by scientific investigations and by exhibition of the highest qualities of command. We have the authority of Professor Alex ander Agassiz for saying that the suc cess of the scientific party in the Blake was largely due not only to Captain Sigsbee’s capacity as a com mander and to his active interest in scientific investigation, but to the numerous improvements in the appar atus for deep sea dredging and sound ing originating with him.—New York Independent. Two Carton* Clock*. The ingenuity of the scientist who •stablished a “clock of flowers” by planting in regular order specimens whose corollas opened at specified hours has been matched by a German who has composed a “clock of birds.” This is especially a night clock. The birds and hours of their songs are at follows: The chaffinch, 1:30 to 2 a. m.; the titmouse, 2 to 2:30; the quail, 2:30 to 3; the redstart, 3 to 3:30; th« ousel, 3:30 to 4; the warbler, Ato4:30| the marshtit, 4:30 to 5; the sparrow; 5. This arrangement is, of course, good only in the Old World and not in America. Tnunp* Avoid This Woman. A Michigan woman has found a plan to get rid of tramps. One came to her house a short time ago, and, as she is a Christian, she requested him to kneel in prayer and ask God’s blessing be fore he ate. This he did after much hesitation. Then she made him read over a chapter in the Bible, after which she gave him a good meal. Strange to say, she has not been troubled with tramps since. A Change Likely to Be Made la the Money Order System. That feature of the money order system which permits the sender to waive identification will very likely be changed within a short time. It Is be lieved by some that this feature is con trary to law, aud it la understood an investigaation is now being made of the law to determine the question. If it Is, the right of a person to waive Identification will be immediately de nied. If, on the other hand, it is found there is ample warrant of law for such a practice, a bill will be introduced in Congress which will abolish the pract ice. Those who have this subject directly under consideration agree that this ele ment of fraud should be removed. It was to the recently developed frauds in connection with spoiled money orders that this matter was fairly be fore the authorities. Had the thief not been able to waive identification it would have been much harder for him to obtain the money. The department even now is engaged in closing the accounts of a postmis tress who got into trouble because of this feature of the system. It appears her father, a good-for-nothing drunk ard, had such an influence over her that he practically ran the office. He be gan pilfering, and the post-office in spectors found him out. When be found he was trapped he filled out a number of money orders payable to himself without identifica tion at a number of post offices along the road and skipped. He collected $2,400, which he spent before being apprehended. It was claimed when the Post Office Department sought to close the account that the department was lax in permitting the inspector when he knew of the wrongdoing of the man to leave the office open, when he should have taken charge of it and closed it. The department acknowledges that It erred, and is now dickering for a com promise. Money orders upon which identifi cation is waived have been a blessing to many. Actors when on the road re sort to this fneans of saving money and buy at different points along the road money orders payable in some far western city, where they fear their company will be stranded. They could not do this with a check, because Identification is required by the bank. But the system has been abused to such an extent that the government has suffered so much through the losses that it is about settled that in the near future no money will be paid unless the person drawing the same is identified.

Some Lost Diamonds “Glad I am through with it,” laugh ed the traveling man who has for years been selling diamonds by sample or directly from the stock which he car ried about his person. ‘T’ve been followed for hundreds of miles and kept on the alert for twenty- four hours a day, but the biggest scare I ever had was in that lower part of imttois known as Egypt. In hurrying to catch a train I had placed a book of the sparklers in my overcoat pocket and forgot all abont them until I reached the hotel at my next stopping place. They were gone, and I felt worse than any man who has lost his all through speculation, for I was the victim of my own carelessness. I re called taking off my overcoat and sit ting in the same seat for some time with a man who looked and talked like a countryman. But you can never tell. I have a habit of drawing such people out, more for my own entertainment than anything else, and I recalled his having told me where he lived, but he might have been fooling me. “I telegraphed the house that I was sick, for I was, and then went in search of the old farmer. I was sur prised to find him, and still more sur prised to have him hand me the book of diamonds as soon as I had been made welcome. “ ’Didn’t ever cackalate to see you ag'in.’ he said heartily; ‘but I reckon you was takin’ them there shiny stones home fur the kids, er they mighter been some kind of a keepsake.

The method of testing coal by X rays is being employed by many manu facturers. who state that it makes a considerable difference In their fu=l bills. It is found that by turning the rays onto the coal they can tell how much of It will remain as ashes after it is burned, and how much will es cape as gas. This is manifestly of the first importance to all users of steam power. The lowest-priced coal is not necessarily the cheapest. The per centage of ash Is one of the best indi cations of the steam-making qualities of coal. A coal which leaves a large amount of ash has, of course, a rela tively small amount of combustible constituents, and vice versa. The shadow produced upon the fluoroscope by a piece of coal of a given size and thickness Is apparently dependent for its relative density upon the amount of ash-producing material In the piece of coal. A number of samples of uni form thickness of various kinds of coal having known percentages of ash are prepared. The density of the shad ow cast by these in the fluoroscope is compared with that of the coal to be tested, and the quantity of ash per ton in the sample under consideration Is Immediately shown with considerable accuracy.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
