THE WOUB'SJMT THINGS. NATURAL AND ARTIFIflAL FSATURCS OF THE EARTH. Amtrfca Lrads all Natlais Is Many Dlmtlons When Fastness is Considered—A Chapter at Sur- passiag Interest Replete Kith Infnmatlnn. Now that we are enthusiastic over the “World’s* Fair,” whieh has sur passed all previous exhibitions in magnitude, beauty and complete ness, we are reminded that America holds the record in many natural wonders and trinmphs. The largest lake in the world (Snperipr), the longest river (Missouri), the largest park (Yellowstone), the finest cave (the Mammoth), the greatest water fall (Niagara) and the only natural bridge (in Virginia) are all to be found within the borders of the United States, and here the biggest fortunes are made, the most ener getic ecmmorcial enter] irises under taken, the largest deals are effected and tha most wonderful inventions are perfected, while the country pro- duces a greater amonnt of raw ma terial than any other. It is interest ing, however, to note where the champion examples of natural won- ders and mechanical skill exist, and in the list it will be found that America can claim many of these. Young as she is her generous patronage of all arts and sciences can be compared with great credit to •ther countries. Musicians, artists and *olher celebrities “on the roed” in America find such financial suc cess awaiting them that they regard it as a playground of delight, and her support to science is just as open-handed. Two famous work- houses for seientific purposes are also here; the Lick observatory ou Mount Hamilton, California, con taining the largest telescope in the world, with its lens of 36 inches and focal length of 56 feet, aud the laboratory of Thomas A. Edison at Orange, N. J., which wa* completed iu 1867, and is the largest private laboratory in the world. The largest farm in the world is situated in Louisians, owned by a Northern syndicate. Its area com- gaises 1,500,000 acres, which are threaded by private railroads and steamships and telegraph lines. The longest telephone line is be tween Chicago 'md New York, while the longest telegraph span (5,000 feet) is across the Kistnah river in India. China owns It? largest canal iu the world, which may be traced to a distance of 1,Q00 miles. The long est wall is also here, extending 1,250 miles, and the longest stone bridge near Bangang, known as the “Lion Bridge.” This continues for five miles over an area of the Yellow sea and is supported by 300 huge atone arches. The roadway is 70' feet above the water and is inclosed in an iron network. A nim ble lion SMeet long rests on the crown of each pillar. Fine as this is, it hardly seems so wonderful as the Brooklyn bridge, which is the longest suspension bridge in existence, being 5,898 feet, and looking from a distance like a delicate piece of lace held in midair. The longest iron bridge is over Lake Poachartrara in New Orleans, being 22 miles, though the highest is at Garabil, France, 413 feet in the air; the longest span-canti-lever over the Indus, in India, end the quickest ever built at Tyrone, Ireland, being a 74-foot span made in eight days. The longest tunnel is at Chem nitz in Austria, an . the. deepest artesian well ever hot 1 is at l\ ath in Hun •/, 8,140 feet below the surface' of the earth, where the temperature of the water is 158 degrees Fahrenheit The largest fortress is Fortress Monroe, Va., though the rocky Gi braltar is stronger than any ether in the world. “Osborne,” which is 14 stories high. The tallest monqment is the Washington obelisk, 555 feet high, but the largest monolith is in Kar- nak, Egypt, being 108 feet The highest chimney, 474 feet, is in Glasgow. The,largest aqueduct in use is the Cmton, of New York, which is 38 miles long, but thelong- est ever built is in Pern, 360 miles. The deepest coal mine is near Lambert, Belgium, 3,490 feet; the biggest dock iu Cardiif, Wales, and the strongest electric light at the Sydney light house, Australia, which is of 18,000 candle power, vvlTile the largest light*house is at Cape Heniy, Va., 165 feet high and eight feet thick. The largest bank is the Bank of England, in London; the oldest college iu Oxford, founded in 1050; the largest library, the National in Paris; being 2,200,000 volumes; the largest theater, the Paris opera house, covering three acres; the largest bronze statue, Peter the Greal, 1,100 tons, in SU Petersburg; the largest stone statue in Japan, 44 feet high; the largest railroad station, St Pancras, London, and the largest college iu Cairo, with 10,000 Mohammedan students and 300 teachers. Damascus has the honor of being the oldest of all cities. The most costly book in the world is a Hebrew Bible owned by the Ger man government, which a few years ago refused the Pope’s ofler of $125,- 000 for it; the greatest price paid for a modern painting was for Millett’s “Angelos,” which brought $110,600 bought by an Amcricau; the most costly medicine is metallic gallium, which sells for $100,000 a pound, and a man would have to be very ill before sending for a prescription that bore its magic formula. Though orchids frequently bring prices that make the poor man stag ger, the highest record price for a single flower was given for a tulip in Amsterdam by an enthusiast, who paid $250,000 for it. The Hon. Joseph Chamberlain always wears a rare orchid in his button hole, some times to the value of $1,000. The most expensive dress that has been worn for many a day was one lately purchased by the famous Mrs. Mackay, who paid $50,000 for it, the gown being embroidered with pearls disposed in a tasteful design of flow ers snd trailing leaves. Even this did not equal the suit of the cele-i brated fop, George Villers, the firs! duke of Buckingham, who, going as ambassador to France in the reign of Charles I, took with him a snit of white uncut velvet and a cloak to malch, both coversd with diamonds, a feather made of diamonds, and sword gifdlo and spurs set with the same gems, the whole costume rep resenting $1,000,000 of the present value of money. The most costly jewel iu the world is owned by the royal house of Ger many, being-a superb sapphire valued at $16,000,000. The largest bee owner is one Har- bisou, of California, who keeps 6,000 hives; the greatest cattle breeder, Gustay Jovanovitch, called the “King of the Steppes,” who pastures more than 1,000,000 sheep with 34,000 shepherd dogs upon his 6,000,000 acres in Russia. Semipalalinsk, in Siberia, holds the record for the most intense cold, as the mercury drops there to 76 de grees below zero, and some parts of Africa cannot be equaled in heat, as the thermometer registers 135 de grees. The Bay of Bengal and the Bay of Fnndy have the highest tides, measuring 60 and 70 feet; the deepest sea soundings have been male at Tristan d’Acunha, 46,236; the most northerly point reached waa by Lockwood in May, 1888, be ing 83 degrees, 24 minutes, 5 seconds; and the furthest south by Ross in February, 1842,17 degrees, 11 min utes; the highest altitude ever reached was in the balloon ascent of Coxwell and Glaisher, who attained 37,000 feet in 1862; and the high est inhabits altitude is the Budd hist cloister in Thibet Glass stands .firstof all elastic substances; pearl is the heaviest of animal substances; mercury is the heaviest liqnid; the heaviest woods are pomegranate and. lignum vitas; cork, the lightest wood; emmensite has the highest explosive power of any substance yet invented, and platinum is the most ductile metal capable of being drawn so line aa to be inyisible. Russia is the largest empire, China the most populous, aud Great Britain the largest exporting country, and the United States the greatest pro ducer of geld. Italy holds the re cord for crime, os 27,070 murders are annually committed there. The oldest printed newspaper is claimed by tho Chinese, as the pro prietors of the Imperial Gazette celebrated its 1,500th anniversary at Pekin in 1882. The oldest European newspaper belongs to Germany, da ting from 1447. The oldest Ameri can is the Boston News Letter, da ting from 1704. France expends more than any other country iu public works, and this same land has the biggest pawnbroking business. The worst riot occurred within her bounds at Mavence in 1349, when the citizens burned 12,000 Jews, so hated and pe scented in the middle ages. The tallest standing tree is in Tasmania, 350 feet high, but the “Mammoth” of California, which has now fallen, was a hundred feet taller. Though California grows the largest fruit and flowers, the most enormous flower is a native of Sumatra. The flower is nine feet in circumference and gives out a most repulsive odor like tainted meat, which is, howeyer, attractive to insects. The vulture beats the record of birds for flight, trayeling 150 miles an hour. The elephant is the longest lived, reach ing bis fiye score of years before be is gathered to his fathers. 'The flea is the strongest insect relatively, leaping 200 times his own length; bnt the beetle is the strongest of in sects, as it is able to move a mass 1,200'times its own weight, the Mordella beetle has the greatest number of eyes, possessing 25,000 infinitesimal orbs of vision. The Japanese rooster, Mino Hiki, has the longest tail feathers of any bird, as his vanities measure on the average 20 feet. The Australian jungle fowl builds the biggest nests, which are often 18 feet in height. America owns the key of the most famans prison, the Bastile, which may be seen at Mount Vernon. It also possesses the fastest trotters, ships and railroad trains, and it has been demonstrated that the fastest yacht, the Vigilant, is also numbered among its treasures. North Carolina’s First Railroad. The mother of the Confederate General, Leonidas Polk, was one of the earliest promoters of railroad en terprise. She projected the first line of railway in North Carolina. It was a cheap tramway, costing $2,250 per mile, running from the east portico of the capitol at Raleigh to a stone qnarry, but it was the pre cursor of greater things, and was "called the Experimental railway. Mrs. Polk was one of the principal stockholders, and the soundness of her judgment was amply vindicated when her profits of the enterprise amounted to 300 per cent of the original investment At a banquet given in honor of the first train drawn by steam entering into Ral eigh, a special toast was drunk “to the distinguished lady who suggested the construction of the Experimental railway; she well deserves a name among the benefactors of the State.” Gen. Kershaw to Do It. For the past year Adjt. Gen. Par ley, with a small appropriation aud with the assistance of many Confed erate veterans interested in securing an accurate revised list of the rolls of the various companies represent ing South Carolina in the late war, has been hard at work trying to get such a list. As was shown by his last annual report to the General Assembly he has the work well ad vanced. Within the next twelve months it is safe to 'say that these valuable historic records will be completed and printed along with a sketch of the most valuable historic incidents pertaining to the civil war and the part South Carolina played therein, from the pen of Gen. John B. Kershaw, of Camden. At its last session, the legislature appro priated $1,300 for the purpose of employing Judge Kershaw aud a clerk to superintend and prepare these rolls and write such a sketch as has been outlined. Gen. Kershaw will very shortly enter upon the work. A Novel Marriage. A special from Murphy, N. C., says: A rather strange and novel marriage ceremony was performed at Marble, this county, recently. The Valley river was swollen out of its banks by the continued heavy rains and Mr. John T. Wall and Miss Elber Baxter wishing to marry, Esqnire Joe Parker stood on one side of the river aud joined the happy couple on the other side for life. The man who thinks before he speaks Discovers with dismay That some one else has said the thing He has in mind to say. We each and all have faults, you know— Man is to error prone; But other people’s faults are so Much greater than our own. One Step More. What though before me is dark, Too dark for me to see, I ask for light for one step more; ’Tis quite enough for me. Each little, horable step I take, The gloom clears from the next I So though ’tis very dark beyond, I never am perplexed. And if, sometimes tbe mists hangs close ho close, X fear to stray ; Patient 1 wait a Iltlie while. And soon it clears away. I would not fee my further path, ’Tis mercy vcils tt so; My present steps might harder seem, Did I tbe future know. It may be that my uath is rough, Thorny, and barn, and sleep; And knowing this my strength might, fail, • Through fear ar.d terror deep. It may be that it winds along A smooth and tlowery way; But seeing this, I might despise The journey of to-day. Perhaps my path is very short, My journey nearly done;. And I might tremble at the thought, Of ending it so soon. <" Or, if I saw a weary length Of road that I must wend; Fainting, Pd think my feeble powers Will fail me in the end. And so I do not wish to see My journey or its length ; Assured, that through my Father’* love, F.ach step will bring its strength. Thus, step by step, l onward go, Not looking far before; Trusting that I shall always have Bight for just “one step more.” “The Fall of the Confederacy.” [To Gen. John B. Gordon. Jan. 27,1893.] Ont from the ranks of the vanquished, Bearing the banner that won; Freighted with words of healing For strife ndfc forever done; Under our sacred ensign, Loyal to every fold; In words of touching beauty The death of his hopes he told. Peans of praise for the victors; Laurels for all tbe dead Hung with adorning glory On each rare word ne said. Honor the gallant soldier Who lays his cause to rest Under tbe glorious symbol Of North, South, East and West. Valiant in day of buttle, Mighty in time of peace, Bidding with magic suasion Sectional strife to cease, Cheers for the Southern chieftain Rang from the list’ning crowd As beneath the folds of his country’s flag In gallant manhood stood Never more precious tribute On our country’s altar lay Than the loyal lyric chanted By the Georgian chief to-day. Into the ranks of glory, To place by courage won, Welcome we this proud soldier— Child of the Southern sun. Brother to all the victors; Comrade to all the slain; Living in song and story, Till sun and stars shall wane. —Mrs. Clara Bell Biown, in Washington Post. Expecting Little, Raviog Little. Surely h'npiness is relative. The very poor, invariably wretched as they must appear to the rich, have their compensations after all. One of these is the will, without ponder ing or self-felicitation, to do good where good is most needed and for tune most malignant. The poor, in order to be resigned to the world, must be optimists. May it not be tL.t, " who haye the least cause for coi.-entment possess the largest share? May not the poor be too engrossed in austere bread-winning to reflect on what constitntes con tentment? Is not their fo-mless faith generated by lack of leisure, by grinding, consuming toil ? Can this be another disguised compensation. The Jewish Messenger has been republishing a valuable series of ar ticles by Rabbi Adler on Jewish Sanitation.. The .writer shows how the dielic and social regulations of the Laws of Moses were admirably adapted to the life and climate of Palestine, and fitted the Jewish race to hold its own under all their trials. We have no doubt, says the South ern Presbyterian, that many of these old regulations would suit ad mirably our own Southern commu nities, who inhabit a climate a good deal similar to that of the Holy Land. If less fat pork were eaten by our laboring class, there would be an absence of much of the un healthy sallowness whieh is often so manifest in the people who live on fat bacon from one year’s end to an other. Chose the Least. Mrs. Nervus — “Johnny, quit thumping on that tin pan- I’ve got a frightful biadache.” Johnny—“If I quit you’ll hear sister Nell upstairs playin’ the piano.” Mrs. Nervus—“Go on thumping, Johnny.” A Million Friends.
