over some of the London etreets,while 34,000
miles of similar wires worm their way under-
ground, fn company with 3200 miles of gas
pipes and 4500 miles of water mains. There
are well on to 14,000 street hydrants in
London. Twelve per cent. of the .water
supply is drawn from artesian wells, and in
one moat ar

over 87,000,000 gallons of water daily from
their famous river.
London has the distinction of being the
first city to use coal. Its use was shortly
after forbidden, and one man was actually
executed for violating this. law, .About 6,-
000,000 tons of coal are required to produce
the gas consumed in London every year.
Four and a half million pounds are paid-

e profit of £1,500,000. The profits of the

gallons of water are used every day by Lon-
doners, and that 45 percent• of the water
supposed to be used for domestic purposes
is. wasted. It took 21,000,000 gallons of
water to extinguish the. 2300 fires in Lon-
don last year ; this gave an average
of 44 fres a week, the greatest number
of which occur on Saturdays, the clays on
which the most crimes are perpetrated.
Firemen save over 100 lives annually, yet
London loses moreinhabitants by' ire every

Of late years there has been a considerable
development of the coal traffic of London,
nor can this be wondered at when we recol.
lect that there are about 700,000 houses
which, on cold days, consume 40,000 tons
of coal, emitting 480 tons of sulphur, .A.
few years ago £70 worth of gold was collect-
ed from the soot of the chimney in the
Loudon mint, and £600 a year is extracted
from the soot of the large refinery in Lime-
house. The soot recovered from the Lon-
don chimneys every yeas yields an annual
revenue of £45,000. It is not a pleasant
reflection for people with delicate chests
that fog hangs over the metropolis for over
40 days per annum, and that a soientiat
says that this average cloud is 3000 feet
thick. The weight of the smoke -cloud
overhanging the city has been computed by
a professor at 50 tons of solid carbon, and
250 tons of hydro -carbon and carbonic acid
o , gases for each day of the year, audits value
at £2,000,000 sterling per annum.

He considers Edison the most wonderful
man of the age, and says that his -life s
work will outlive that of all the statesmen
and politicians of the present day, Glad-
stone included. And yet he says there is
nothing new under the sun. All that Edi-

years was known to the ancients, and a
great deal more. It is well known now
that a more perfect system of telephones
was in•uae long before King Solomon lived,
and ships were
•NAVIGATED IN THE AIR
over a thousand years before Christ. Ten
years ago Jules Verne was considered a
crank, while to -day scientists agreed that
he was the most advanced thinker of the
age. Verne had frequently stated that his
constant study had been the ancients, and
that from thein he had secured his ideas.
No man could at the present time foretell
how far electrical science would advance
within the next 25 years. He believed that
before that time air -ships capable of ac-
commodating 2,000 passengers would be
propelled across the Atlantic within 24
hours, that horses would no longer be used
for road travelling, and that men would be
able to sign contracts by wire between
India and London. A great deal had been
written reearding the new American system
of electrocution, and it had been considered
very wonderful. Six weeks ago a young
Greek scientist had

tached. He had made a thorough study
of the machine, and was convinced that a
man would die instantly by simply reclin-
ing in it. He was at present working on
it, and would probably have it in America
before another year for trial.
" What do you think of the trolley sys•
tens ?" was asked.
He replied that for the present it was
the best known, but that there were sev-
eral eminent men at work in Germany on
the subject, and before another six months
he expected to see a system without over-
head wires which would prove satisfactory
in every particular.

that the Arctic waters of the Kara Sea
might be utilized for commerce between

River. He is in command of an expedition
sent out by the Russian Government to take
to the Yenissei two light -draught steamers
that hava been built on the Clyde to navi-
gate the great Siberian waterway. These
vessels will leave England toward the end
of this month. They will be carried by the
Arctic vessels Blencathra and Orestes and
the last-named vessel will take as part of
her cargo the first consignment of rails ship-
ped by Sea to the Siberian railroad. W hen
the Orestes reaches . the mouth of the river
at Golcheeka the rails will be trans -shipped
to Russian river steamers and taken far
south, to where the railroad is building.
The Blencathra and the Orestes will then r -
turn to England, where Capt. Wiggin giu l

When burglaries are committed, brawls
indulged in for diversion, and midnight

such a way that 'relatives will

the cause of morality and religion and at

AGreat Ohicaeoan,
Philip D. Armour is a short -set, broad -
built, prosperous -looking man, with a
ruddy open face, darkly side -whiskered.
He is severely self-made. Six -and -forty
years ago he drove a mule -team across the
plains of California, and invested what
little. capital he had in the grain business
in Milwaukee. Then he bought an interest
in a pork -packing establishment, and to.
day his fortune is established at something
like fifty million dollars. He is now perhaps
the most conspicuous of all Chicago's multi-
millionaires, and is growing richer every
day; yet withal ho is as modest as the
proverbial aohool-boy ever was, and is one
of the plainest and most quiet -doing of men
both as to manner and mode of life. Of
late ill health has obliged him to restrict
his diet to bread and milk. This would be.
a sad affliction to some rich men, but Mr.
Armour has never cultivated his palate to
an appreciation of. ortolaus and truffles, and
he likes a baked apple for breakfast as
much as Beecher or Jay Gould need to. His
recent gift of a million and a half of dollars
to the University of Chicago brought him
into prominence as a practical philanthrop-
ist. "He is the hardest man to go against
in a grain or provision deal that I know of,"
said a friend of his recently, "but in au
emergency where 'money talks' he will
cough up a cool million as indifferently as
another man would order a chop in a res-
taurant." Withal lee is at his desk daily,
summer and whiter alike, before the clock
strikes seven, and he habitually ,wears a

A BRAVE NOVA SCOTIAN.
Lost 11L9 Life to Save Ul9 Cabin T,oy.
A New York, special says : Alexander
Howard Cann, first mate of the Nova
Scotian barque"Lillian," now here, lost his
lite at Demerara June 20, from carbonic
acid gas arising from the vessel's carg of
sugar. He sentthe cabin boy, Douski, to
the chain locker to haul in the cable. The
boy was below so long that the mate slid
down the companion ladder and went for-
ward to the locker.
Ten minutes passed and neither the mate
nor the cabin boy appeared. Then the for-
ward hatch was pulled off and a heavy
cloud of vapor came 'from the opening.
The crew saw the mate and the boy lying
unconscious on the lower deck, both black
in the face. One of the crew tried to get to
them, but was driven out by the fumes of
the sugar. Then a rope was twisted about,
the boy's leg and he was pulled up. He
was unconscious and remained in a coma-
tose condition for an hour and a half. When
the mato was finally raised by the same
means he was dead.
Doctors from shore resuscitated the cabin
boy. Cann undoubtedly saved his life, as
he swooned at the further end of the chain
locker, with his head projecting beyond the
door. The authorities investigated Cann's
death and held the vessel four days. At
Cann's funeral at Demerara a big demon-
stration was made by the people. They
made Cann out a hero, and his last cere-
monies approached in dignity the funeral of
a statesman.

It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar:.
It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest MUk.
This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great
South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative
agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians,
who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the
general public.
This medicine has completely solved the problem Of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is
also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities
which it possesses, and by its great curative' powers upon the digestive
organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares
with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength-
ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in
the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption
remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv-
ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical
period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine
Tonto, a11lit1st constantly„ for the space of two, or three years. It will
carry them safely over the danger.. This great strengthener and cura-
tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great
energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten
or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen
bottles of the remedy each year.

NERVOUS ISEASES
As a cure for every class of Nervous. Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con -
taro a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves,
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed, This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.
