A French company, with a capital of $17,â€" 000,000, is said to be waiting for permission from the Russian Gevernment to begin work ona canal that will unite the Seq of Azov and the Black Sea. The canal will be 118 kilometâ€" res long, willitakefive years to construct, and will benefit the southeastern districts, which produce grain, salt, minerals, and fuel. A native of Finlard, named Runen, was sent two years ago by the Government to try to discover the art of Persian carpet weayâ€" ing. He finally obtained employment in a small factory in Smyrna, where he acquired the desired information and made a design of the loom. A Persisn carpet factory has now been established in Finland and great results ae expected. The Berlin Homcopathic Society recently learned that it was the custom of many drugâ€" gists to put up on homceopathic prescriptions merely some simple compound and label it as whatever was wanted. To test this eighty different burlesque prescriptions were written out in Latin and sent to as many different druggists. Seventyâ€"seven out of the eighty swallowed the bait, and put up what purâ€" ported to be the dose required by the bogus prescriptions. The other three sent the prescriptions back, with the remark that they did not understand them. The income of Oxford University for 1887, was $326,000. The British Order of Odd Fellows shows a membership of 52,000. The magnificent Vatican exhibition now being held must be closed ** on account of the rats." The pilot boat Aibion was run down and sunk with six men by a steamer off the Devâ€" anshire coast . â€" It was not foggy or dark. The price of diamonds has fallen. It was over 22 shillings per carat in October, 18987, and it is now less than 18 shillings. A big spiler was placed on a roek in the centre of an aquarium in a recent experiment and a larva of a water beetle put near, The beetle promptly seized the spider and pullâ€" ed it into the water, but after a sharp strugâ€" gle the spider broke away and escaped. The beetle soon afterward renewed the atâ€" tack, and fastened itself on the spider by its pincers. _ The spider also got a good hold, and the duel resulted in the death of both. It is said that if two of the larvse are placâ€" ed in the same aquarium they will fight until one or the other is dead, and the victor will decapitate the dead one. 4 The British army authorities are pushâ€" ing experiments in military cycling. A reguâ€" lar bicycle corps has been formed, with 120 men, of whom eleven are officers. The field of invention is still open for a perfect lifeâ€"boat. The Royal National Lifeâ€" boat Institute reports that "Medals were ofâ€" fered for a mechanically propelled lifeboat, but none of the various designs received fulâ€" filled the requirements." started off, bus, not having enongh mon y‘ take me to America, I followed Buifalo Bill to Manchester, and have been at the show every day. I still intend to go to America, and even if I shall get ten years for this ofâ€" fence, I shall go afterward." The bridges over the Tay and the Forth in Scotlard have attracted much attention as engineering works, the i‘rst named viaduct peing notable as the largest bridge in the world ; it is only one link in the line of northâ€" ern travel. The second, or Forth bridge, from North to South Queenstown, and which is scarcely less important, will have the disâ€" tinction of being made of steel throughout its entire length of more than 5,000 feet, and when completed according to the vast and admirable design of its projectors will be one of the greatest marvels of engingering construction which Europe can show. The island of Incligaryle, in the middle of the arm of the sea which it crosses, enables the bridge to be in four spans, only two of which are over water ; these two principal spans are each of about 1,700 feet and the height above the sea of each of them is 200 feet, all of the most massive masonry. Of that vast work, as projected, the ship canal between Bordeaux on the Atlantic seaboard and Narbonne on the Mediterâ€" ranean coast, it is stated that the cost will be some $30,000,0(0 and while its .Xength would be about 330 miles: the use of it would be a saving of nearly 700 miles by a speed of seven miles an: hour may _ be maintained both day and sight, as during. the hours of darkness the canal might be illuminated with electric lights, There would be, according to the plan, thirtyâ€"| eig ht locks in the, eangl, and . the depth: of l water, twentyâ€"seven feet, would ‘ perthit French armorâ€"clad vesséls to pase through the canal, thus naiting thg two sea coasts of the country and avoiding the, passige through the strait o‘ Gibraltar; which might in time of war be blockaded by, the 1g25 of an ensmy, and would deprive the E’ng'flg.gn' af certain advantages: which they now Have in the Cibraltar fortificatiogs. It is thought that, «for commercial, pirposés, the" pat" ronagp of the canal will be stfficient to pay a good return on the money, i‘ngegsi:ed in its construction, | si 0d Lrya tieâ€"tWiie tm wessels going from southern Prance OYT morthern Italy to the northern Atlantic.
