TuE ship canal connecting Man- chester, Eng., with the sea will be completed within four years. The canal ia to be thirty -five miles long and from 170 to -''JO feet above and 130 feet wide at the bottom. The minimum depth will be 'J' feet. The contract for digging the canal haa been taken by a com- pany of engineera for io, 750,000. Such a '.waterway will be of incalculable beoedt to the whole of England. The Engliah naval authorities propoae to construct two war veasela. which shall jurpasa anything of the kind yet built by that country. They will be named respec- tively the Hood and the Hawk. The first will be ot 14.000 lona meaaurement, and •ivill have engines of ''O.OOO horse-power. The second will also be of 20 000 horse. power, but the tonnage will be little more than half that of the first mentioned, oi 7,500 tons. EsiiLA-ND owns over half of the eotire coean tonnage of the world. The eiact figures are .'•! -i per cent. The increase of the steam tonnage of the world in l^s'^.S was 033,9-18 tons, and half of thia increase was built by British owners. In the same year the l"uited States added to her ton- nage only twenty. seven new steamers and 10.'.'71 tons. Evan Japan baa gone beyocd thia figure in the aame periol, by the addi lion of fifty steamera and 36.0S4 tona. The Johnstown diaaater has aroused oablie apprehension in England, lest simi- lar aocidents may occur there. There are many large storage reservoirs in various parts of Great Britain, and Parliamentary inouiry ia to be made into their condition. There ia an immense reservoir in Wales, from which Liverpool ia supplied with water. It is four times the size of the Conemaugh lake, and is formed by a wall of solid masonry ninety feet thick. This wall, thoagh comparatively new, is said to hive shown signs cf weakening, and an im- mediate inquiry is demanded into its con- dition. M. ToriN.iup has been making a statisti- cal inquiry into the colors of the eyea and hair in France, and from his ISO.OOO obaer vationa he dedncea many interesting results, one of the moat curious being that where the raoo is formed from a misture of blondes and brunettes the hereditary blood coloring oomea cut in the eyes and the brunette element reappears in the hair. To thia tendency, probably, is to be at- tributed the rarity of a combination of light hair with dark eyes. Several ob- servers have asserted that the American people, who are pre eminently a mtxed race, are becoming a dark haired and blae-eyed nation, and if thia be true such a develop- ment must be owing to the working of the law formulated by M. Topinard. The same trouble with pavement is met in European cities as in American, and ex[ieriments have been made with all sorts of materials. The use of wood haa met with much greater succeaa there than on this side of the Atlantic. The reason is aaii to be that a solid foundation of cou orete is used upon which the blocks rest. Owing to its hardness and resinoua quality -Vmerioan yellow pine, it is said, haa be- come the favorite wood for this purpose in Berlin and Uamburg, and an ofticial report says that I'rederick's Bridge, Berlin, which waa paved in the spring of 1S7'J with the wood in question, ia atill in good condition, while the approaches, paved with granite blocks, have twice since re>iuired repaving. A iMU.E deapatch announoea the death in the Caucaansof Frince Nicholas Dadianiot Mingrelia, al one time a candidate for the iJalgarian throne. Frince Nioholaa was about 52 years old. and had been divorced from his "wife, who waa the daughter of General Count Adleberg, aide de-camp to the Emperor of Ruaais. and a former maid of honor to the V'.mpress. He held the rank ol colonel in the Russian army, and waa described aa a man ot the world. He was married in ISiHI, and ten children were the fruit of the union. In the early part of 1S87 Russia pressed Prince Nicholas for- ward as her candidate for the throne of Bulgaria. For a time all Europe talked about him. Little waa known about him or hia family, however, but that little waa eagerly devoured. The Bulgarians were not pleaeeii with his nomination. They were violently opposed to any one proposed by Russia and bitterly fought againat her candidacy. After much delay the Bobranje declared it would not have him. and aa a ruler had to be api'ointed at once Prince Ferdinand was given the throrib. A iU>i.K despatch announoea the death of Sir Salar Jung, K.C.8.1 , formerly Uewan or Prime Minister ot Hyderabad. He wa the descendant ot a line of atateemen who have directed the a£fairs of the Ni/.am of Hyderabad since the beginning of the 18»h century. Engaged in otVioial work from his vonth, he saooeedeii hia uncle, Surdj nl- "Mulk, aa l>o*an in 1853. The State waa » prey to anarch v, the capital was terrorized by Arab meroenariea. and tho Uritiah Oov- ernment had recently deprived the Nizam ot the Province of Berar. It was evident, indeed, that Lord Dalhouaie oonleniplated the annexation of the remainder of that ruler' a dominions. To avert the supreme disaster and to g»ia back Berar was the the laat pretext the Calcutta authorities could possibly entertain for annexing the country. The death of the Nizan, in liOJ, gave Salar Jung a free h:ind, the new sovereign being a mere child, and the State being administered by a regency composed of the chief of the cobility, Amiri-Kabir and Salar Jung. What abuses remained were promptly swept away, and Hydera- bad became a model State. In l-'76 sir Salar undertook a voluntary misnon to England in the hope of procuring the restoration of Berar. In that ho waa dis- appointed, but he must have found some consolation in the genuine admiration entertained for him by Englishmen. He was knighted and created a K. C. 5. I. •- FOB HOT WEATHER.

Last Friday afternoon a district tele- graph meesengor who was speeding along the street with a telegram valued at 15 cents a minute, wtu ran over and seriously injured by a blind man named Standfast. Standfast is a cripple, having a wooden leg. He had taken his leg off to rest it, while be sat by the wayside and 4>egged. and aouie mischief' loving boys had taken the leg and hid it. Btandtaat missing it. waa groping along the sidewalk feeling for it, and in- advertently moved right in the messenger boy'a wake. Several peraona, aeeing that he would run the boy down, shouted to the latter that the blind man was after him, and the boy, realizing hia peril, made a desperate sprint for his life, and for a few feet gained on hia puraaer. but before be was far enough ahead to turn oat with safety the cripple was upon him and ran dear over him before he could be stopped. The boy'a injuries were ver^ serious, as he fell upon his wrist, spraining it so that it will probably be two weeks before he can hang on the steps of an omnibus going in the wrong direction. It was reported late that night, owing to hia inability to utilize hia favorito official time killer, the tioy had delivered one message nearly on time, but the rumor waa indignantly denied at head- quarters, the auperintendent olTering to prove by the books that auch a thing had never occurred ainoe the invention of hcman apeed.

MAKING ANAliBAMs. A Pleasant Diversiun for a <>ulet Kvenlnc Hoar at Home. Making anagrams is a pleasant diversion for a quiet evening hoar, aays the New York n'jrld. Let oar boys and girls get out their paper and pencils and prove this. In the first place, though, let ua find out what an anagram ia. An anagram is the diasolving of a person's nam^ or some familiar phraae, his'.orical or otherwiae, into its letters, aa element^, from which, without addition, aabtracticn or change, a new sentence or connecsiou of worus is made so as to form complete aenae. The more applicable the sentence so formed is to the subject annagrammatized so much greater is tQe merit of iheauagram. A good sabjec; for our young people to try first is their own or the name of some friend, and if there is a ^ood sprinkling of vowels in the name selected aome sur- prising results may be reached. The pith of the anagram is. of coarse, that it shall ia aome wiy relate to the person wbose name is used. Cornelias Vanderbilt s name has been aptly transformed into " On curb death in silver, " but som'. one has done even better than that by iis- covering that it also may be made to read : " Vanderbilt rules coin." From Lord Beaconsfield s ::tine ia gleaned " I faced nobles, " and • I moyi in law " ia a good transposition of William Noy. who was Attorney -General to Charles I. The datierers of James I. of England proved his right to the British monarchy as the descendant of the mythical King Artbar, from his name, "Charles James Stuart," which becomes "Claims Arthur's Seat." An author, in deiioaung a book to the aame monarch, finds that in " James Stuart he baa " a just master." Comparatively few people are aware that the :'.ame of Voltaire, the witty Frenchman, is Francois Marie Aronet. and that the as- sumed name (Voltaire' IS simply an a::a- gram of Aronet, 1- j. ie jeunej, u being synonymous with v, and j with i. See if our young people cannot make aome eiiually happy hits aa the atove. Anagram. making is no recent institation, but baa long been a fashionable amusement ol the witty and learned. .\t the court ot Louis X\ I It waa the leading pastime, and the King, it is saiJ, empl o> .i a learned uian especially for the purpose cf composing these fancies of wit for the amusement of himself and court.

This certainly is most singular.

But aometimea there waa great stringency in the acrap-iron market. This fre- quently happened when circuses came a few weeks apart, and after the first one folks learned to carry in their garden tools and kettles nights. In such events competition ran high to secure a situation aa water earner to a Prohibition elephant. In default of aecaricg this there .vaa no recourse but to crawl :inder the canvas.

Such is progreas. Such are the brutal tactics indulged in by the exponents of the tent-show renaissance to popularize the ticket-waggon.

The great crowd has been attracted by the Exposition, and many of them being voucg men with plenty of money, have been ili'eced by the gamblers. Gambling is not allowed on board of the steamers, but how can you help it whev. it la done in private atatercoma, where no one aees it .'

There is hardly a ship that leaves the city but carries one or more professional gamblers on board, although none of the agents of the big lines wonld sell tickets to them it they knew it beforehand. Men love gambling too well to be deprived of il and they will have pro- fessional card players so long as they are willing to put up small or large stakea. It ia hard work to amuae oneaelf on the ateamahipa during a long voyage, and it is only natural that many should take to their favorite game cf cards. They gamble in a friendly way . make aojaaintances until they find that they are deeced out of large amounts by some profeaaional. Then, rather than let it be known, they fail to report it to the proper authorities. I know of two or three club men from New York and Philadelphia who were tleeced out of several thousand dollars this summer in coming from Queenatowu to New York.
