" Atlantic steamships are being fitted with furnaces which bum the snioko and gas from the coal One third of the fuel Is saved. The new furaaco Is of simple construction. The coal is put in at a door in tho top of the furnace. It falls upon a grate, beneath which is a tunnel running out nndeT the boiler and finally into tho flues. Drawn by the power of the draft, the smoke and gases from the burning coal are conducted into the tunnel beueath the grate, thence through the boiler tube. They find their way Jnty the fnujiel, where they are drawn into the furnace again. Thus all gases and burned particles of carbon are onanmed. Fresh air is supplied frouTthe vessel's funnels.

The original inventor of paper was the wasp. The common horse fly has 16,000 facets on its eyes. Female frogs have no voice; only the males can sing. A flea's mouth is placed exactly between his fore legs. There are more muscles in the tail of a rat than in a human hand. The spider web is constructed according to the best mathematical principles. All kinds of insects, so far as known, are afflicted with some form of parasite. The bullfrog, by a peculiar ar rangement of his larynx, has a bass drum in his throat. An elephant Is fifty to sixty years in attaining maturity, and will live a century and a half. The most valuable scavengers about the streets and in the of a large city are the rats. sewers The offspring of a single fly in one suinmiT, if none are destroyed, may number 2,800,000. If a snail's head be cut off and the animal placed in a cool, moist spot, a new head will be grown. One authority on botany esti mates that over 50,000 species of plants are now known and classified. The smallest bird is an East In dian 1 umming-bird. It is a little larger than the common house fly. The wettest place in this country is Neah Bav, in Washington ; over 123 inches of rain fall there every year. There are insects which pass sev eral years in preparatory states of existence, and finally, when per fect, live but a few hours. A fish caught and thrown on the bank will rarely fail, when endeav oring to escape, tojunip in the di rection of the water. A microscopic examination of a hair will determine, wiili almost infalliable certainty, to what kind of animal it belonged, The flesh of the upper portion of a beaver's body is said to taste like beef; that of the lower portions is said to resemble fish. At the end of each hair of a cat's whiskers is a bulb of nervous sub stance which converts the hairs into exceedingly delicate feeleja. Frogs and toads are ef inestima ble benefit to farmers ami gardners; each creature is estimated to devour every season fifty-seven times its weight of insects.

The jury before whom Parker was being tried witnessed the lynching. They slept In the jail and were awakened by the noise. None of the lynching party are known. One of the most original and daring attempts to break jail on record was frustrated by officers at Pern, Ind. Four prisoners secured a rubber hose used for scrubbing purposes and fastened one end over a natural gas flambeau. By lighting the other end they could reach any part of the cells with the flame. With this the solid stone walls were heated, and by dashing cold water on the walla they cracked and they made a hole four feet square. When discovered they were nearly through the outer wall and almost suffocated by the escaping gas. Miss Eleanor Marks, aged 23, of Mt, Prospect, Intl., several, days ago was seized with a severe cold. She rapidly grew worse and apparently died. She was prepared for burial and funeral services wore held. While the coffin was being borne from the hearse to the grave, a faint tapping attracted the pall bearers, and upon the coflln lid being raised she was found to be alive. She was taken home and rapidly recovered.

A NOTED F0UGEJIY, One That Ia Without a Parallel In the History of Crime. A Clevor Negro Penman Who Used the Kama or President Grant to Gat Himself Out of the Pen itentiary. George Lewis (colored), formerly a member of the Ninth cavalry, who had been serving a long sentence in the penitentiary for forgery, was arrested on another charge of the same kind as he was leaving the prison gate the other day, after having completed his last sentence, says a Topcka (Kan.) corre- ' spondent of the New York Times. There was nothing remarkable in this ' except that his arrest recalls a story of forgery that is without parallel in the ' history of crime, at least in the west, j Lewis had been a messenger in Wash- j ington, detailed on duty at the war dc- partment. It was while there that he j committed tbe first forgery that led to his imprisonment. He had been in prison less than a year when he pro cured through the assistance of friends ; a blank pardon, such as is used by the ' president of the United States. This j he filled out and signed the names of President Grant and the then assistant ' secretary of war. Having completed ; this work, he smuggled it into the pris on mail, opportunities for which were plenty, as he had been detailed as clerk . in the warden's office. In due time the friend in Washington to whom it had been sent telegraphed the warden thnt the pardon hod that day been transmit ted, signing the name of the president's private secretary to the dispatch. hen the expected pardon was re ceived by Warden Smith the signatures were compared with others known to be genuine, not that there was suspi cion, but merely as a matter of precau tion, as had been customary. The par don was pronounced correct, and Lewis was called in and informed of its re ceipt and notified that he was a free man. Had he been satisfied with his freedom he would soon have been at lib erty, and detection of the forgery might not have occurred for years. When the wurden told him to prepare to change his clothes for those of a cit izen Lewis asked that he miht have the pardon, in compliance with a mar ginal note in the paper. This request, showing a knowledge of the contents of the document that had not lx-cn Khown him, excited tbe suspicion of the deputy warden, who desired to know whnt he wanted it for. The answer was ready: "For purposes of identifica tion."' He was ordered back to his cell, and the warden then telegraphed to lresitli-nt Grant inquiring if the par don had been issued onsnch a date. In less than four hours the answer was re turned that it had not been issued then, and that if such a document had been received it was fraudulent. When confronted with this message Lewis denied all knowledge of the trans action for a time, but the dark cell soon caused l.iui to confess. It was only then that another and equally bold forgery came to light, which was apart of bis scheme for providing for himself when frec- I Hi naa in some manner secured a draft on a Virginia bank, payable at one of the Louvcnworth national banks. The amount on the draft was one dollar, which he skillfully raised to twenty thousand dollars. This he sent to the First national of Leavenworth, with an order that two hundred dollar lie paid upon the amount and the bal ance deposited in a Uichmond (Va.) bank to bis credit. The two hundred dollars was paid and tbe deposit made as directed, but it was boon discovered that the draft had been raised. I.wb had miscalculated only two or three days in the time he had arranged for the pardon to arrive. He had intended, as soon as released, to take the pardon with hhu for purposes of identification, secure the ninutecn thousand eight hun dred dollars, and then leave the United States. After the complete exposure of all his schemes he was asked to write the name of Grants which he did so perfectly that the most expevt couTd jot distinguish it from the genuine signa ture placed beside it- Lewis claimed that he could reproduce the signatures of most of the public men in Washing ton of that time from memory. - This last arrest was for forgery and obtaining money under false pretense, being the utterance of the draft for twenty thousand dollars. He will pass the remainder of his days in the Kan sas penitentiary, which U used as a military prison as well as for state con victs. His forgeries were committed in the prison office, where his work as clerk gave him opportunities and brought him into communication with outsiders. His confederates were never discovered.

Ho writes: " For eight years, I was, most of the time, a great sufferer from constlpa. tlon, kidney trouble, and indiges tion, so that my constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven, bottles, with such excellent results that my Rtomncli, bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con dition, and. In all their funotions, aa regular as clock-work. At the time I began taking Ayer's Snrsnpnrilla, my weight was only 129 pounds; I now can brag of IS!) pounds, and was never In so good health.

On the day of its occurancc all business is sus pended by mutual consent throughout Victoria, tho banks and government offices are all closed, and by twelve o'clock the streets of Melbourne are as silent and deserted as if the city were stricken with a plague. For a week before the event, the railway trains from Sidney, to the number of seven or eight in a day, and all the intcr-colonial and mail steamers from that city and Adelaide, arc taxed to their utmost ca pacity, and the accommodations of Mel bourne, as well as all the neighboring towns, are taken up by the immense concourse of visitors. The facilities for reaching Flcmington are so good, how ever, and the course itself so spacious that even at the great race of the cen tennial year, when more than 140,000 persona were upon tho grounds, one saw the event with perfect comfort, and was transported to and from the course without five minutes, waiting at cither end of the line. The admirable temper and sobriety of the great assembly are largely responsible for such a result. During the four days' meeting of 1888 only five arrests were made on tbe grounds, and none of these was for seri ous ollcnses. The crowd at an Aus tralian race meeting is often rough in appearance, but in orderliness and good nature can hardly be excelled. Virginia laments that the unsenti mental authorities at Washington have interfered with the old-time spelling of the historic names of her counties and ! towns, and changed ISurnt Ordinary to Toano, Powhatan to I'owattan, New port's News to Newport News, Char lottesville to Charldttcville, and com mitted other outrages on the estab lished orthography.

Gennanv suffers from an intellectual overproduction, according to the Forum. All professions are overcrowded. It was fonflly believed up to our days that the state had no more important task than to render the acquiring of knowl edge as easy as possible, and for that purpose to establish many higher schools. Hut it was not asked whether there was room enough for employing men and women when their education was fiuiJied. Taking, for instance, the career of law iu I'russia, we find that there are 1,S51 men who have not only passed through the gymnasium and the university, bat have already served the state gratii f jr about five years, while the annual average demand is 100.
