At the United States government lighthouse station on Falkner's Is- land, on the Connecticut coast, there has just been °ratted the largest me- gaphone in. the world. It is seven. - teen feet long and seven feet in dia- meter at the mouth. • it stands upon a, circular platform twenty-eight feet in diameter, upon which it revolvee. The plan is to direct it toward the eight principal points of the COM - pass, one after- the other in regular rotation, and by 1.11CLI.I18 of a different signal sent. in each direction to tell any vessel which may be in the line of the axis of the instrument during a fog the exact position of the signal -station with relationi to the ship. The great difficulty ):Fvith sound sig- nals as aids to navigation in a fog Is that they, cannot be located with any accuracy. Cases are on! record in which two (lifters standing on the bridge of the same steamer have dif- fered As much as 90 degrees in their, estimate of the direction of a fog whistle which was distinctly heard by both of them. The apparatus at Falkaer's Island, vvhich is- the invention of R. F'. tosi. ter, is intended to locate the signa station accurately. The principl upon which this instrument works i very simple in theory, yet its pra ticability was denied by some of th most eminent authorities on aeons ticS. The mo'St striking feature o themachine is the immense mega phcine, which Is not- intencred to be spoken through, but is used as sound director, and when an ordina- ry whistle or siren is blown into the small end the sound it gives is pro- jected in a straight line, like the raye of a searchlight. At a recent test it was found to the surprise of all that, so far from the sounds sent at an angle of forty- five degrees being nearly equal to • those sent directly toward the ob- server, they were absolutely inaudi- ble at all distances beyond a mile, and even at half a mile it required the closest attention to hear them at all, while the sounds coming directly towiard the listener were extreme powerful up to eight miles, and at the shorter distances of one or two mills almost equal to the large steam whi tle, which WEIS sounded imme- dia ely after the megaphone, so that tho. e in the boat might, judge of thei • comparative strength. The experiments completely upset all the preconceived ideas of men who have made a lifelong study of the peculiarities of ,sound because they show' that it is possible to Con- fine a sound, even so powerful as that, from a siren, and to project it into space in a. given -direction with the same certainty and accuracy that we can project the rays of a search- light.

Of this amount nearly one-half has been paid for printing and binding, the remainder to be accounted for in salaries, rent, stationery and mis- cellaneous expenses, including the pur- chase of record from krivate indivi- duals, says Th St. Louis Globe -De- mocrat. It hai taken 10 years to complete this : work, which consists of 4,12 volume. T e largest bpok In tho world is in the Vhinese DePartment of the Brit- ish Mueetup ein.d *consists of 5,020 vOluines. Tillie wonderful production of the Chines,e press was purchased a few years ago for $6,000, and is one of only three copies in existence. It is an encyclopaedia of the literature pf Clhina, cOvoring a period of 28 cen- turies—from 1,000 B.C. -to 1,700 A. D. It (mils its origin to the literary proclivities of tho Emperor Kang -he, Who "reig-ned from 1662 to 1722. In the course of his studios of the an- cient literature of his country, Kang - he discovereit that extensive corrup- tion had been allowed, to creep into modern editions, and he conceived the idea of having the text and the originals reproduced and preserved in an authoritative form. • This was a mighty conception, and In its execution it remain unique down to the present day. For the purpose of carrying out the work, Kang -ho appointed a comMission of learned men to select the writings to be reproduced, and employed the Jesuit missionaries to cast copPer types, with which to execute the rinting, The commission was Occupied for 40 years in its great task. Before the work was completed Kang -he died, but he had provided that his successor should see the book com- pleted. The book is arranged in six divisions, each dealing with a. parti- cttlar branch of knowledge. The clivi- si oils are tAlis designated: First, aWriCinge relating to the heavens; se- cond, wri1ing.1 relating to the earth; third, writings relating to mankind; fourth, writings relating to inanim- ate nature; fifth, writings relating to phi' osophy; sixth, wri tings relatin g to political economy. Anchor of thy Ai mod a. The crew of a trawler ongag-ed in lobster fishing near Kinsale had .great difficulty one day lately iniet- tin 0- their anchor aboard, whichas fixed in a massive hard substance in the sand bank. With great trouble they succeeded in bringing to the sur- face an ancient anchor of five tons, the shank being over ten feet long and the bend of equal proportions. The anchor, which, f it belonged to one of the ships of the Spanish ar- mada which was wrecked on this coast, had been imbedded in the sand for upward of three centuries, was covered -With marine matter which centuries had converted into a. rock substarin.

He ma not have been so fussy in the aisles as hi successor, nor so clever at games, nor abl to make so fetching a speech on "Love, Courtship and Marriage." The members of h a congregation may not have called a "b ight man," nor said he was "great fun," or asked him so often to tea-parties, and it may be granted that he erred on the side f formality; but on the other hand, they poke of him as a "man of Godj" and a "goo man," and in the straits of life and in anxiety of conscience they sent for him. .They may not have liked him so Well as the modern man, but they respected and trusted- him, which is far more importa nt.

' A French eoonomist, M. Paul Leroy Beau' ieu, has been writing about the public debt of his country. He states that the public debt, including the floating debt and the guaranteed debt of the communes and departments is nearly $7,800,000,000, which is far more than the debt of any other country. The annual expenditure is nearly $800,000,000, and is increasing at the rate of about ri000,000 a year. Over $250,- 000,000 is received annually to pay interest alone. Meanwhile population is stationary and industry and commerce seem to be ret- rograding. France has reached this pitiful condition as a result of its irjmense expenditures for military purposes.j And its loss cannot be measured altoget er by debts or deficits. It must lose immeusely from the fact that • under its system half a million men are taken from productive work to spend years of 1.d1eness in the camp. Other nations, tholigh not so deeply envolved as France, feel the increasing strain of military bur- dens. With the example of the old world before us, we should shun militarism as W8 would shun a pestilence. • One LAXA-LIVER PILL every uight for thirty days makes a complete cure of biliousness and eon. ipation.

The treatment of women nd the rela- tions of the sexes are usuall regarded' as considerable factors in arrivi g at a ju fic:; Judging by that test, how the Jap n. .i ment of the civilization of a nati *o ese stand? How do the ma 0 "birds 4nd butterflies" oonduct them -Ives toward the females of their 'Teaks? I will endea- vor, as far as the limits,of t is letter will permit, to answer that ques ion. The Japanese, though a o rtain propori- tion of them wear ill-fitti g European clothes, and a still smaller ercentage are turned out as nearly as Bon street itself could make them, are still 8 rientals. The reforms of the last 80 ye s have been most wide -reaching, and vast changea have been effected. But it has been almost wholly a material re elution. The moral attributes of the •eople remain practically as they were. More partioularly has th attitude of the Japanese male towards his vromatt. kind remained unaffected. Man is here altogether the superior sex. The husband walks down the street tw> paces in ad; T111108 of his wife, who trots contentedlY at his heels. He steps in his earliese first, and she seramblem in afterward& She is literally of no imporsance except from the point of view of c ildren. And if she has no family a rival is soon open- ly introduced into the same house. This, deserves emphasis, if only t warn Eng- lish girls against the incred -blo folly of marrying a Japanese, as so e persist,in doing. Snob a union Is, i 99 oases Cut of 100 foredoomed to hideo s misery.
