m fa MB j$to?fm ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY. ..AUGUST 23. 18Si It is figured out that 115,000,000 is the amount invested in theaters in the United States. Some of the newspaper carriers' routes in Philadelphia are "worth $10, 000 as an investment. One hundred and thirteen found -lingsrere picked up in New York during the last six months. A New Yobk printing press maker promises to produce a press that will turn out 960,000 copies per hour. A Pittsbubg man has gone to an insane asylum because both of his babies were girls. He wanted a boy. The American navy, 139 vessels, cost 816,000,000 annually; the French, 356, 41,000,000; and the British, 550, $51,800,000. i m A bbokeb at Macon, Ga., advertises for bills of sale of negroes, offering in pay dollar for dollar in Confeder ate money and bonds. The government building at Wash ington now jholds $200,000,000 in sil ver coin. The enormous mass of metal weighs about 5,000 tons. An unlucky prospector borrowed a pistol in a Denver gun store, slipped in a cartridge and shot himself dead. He was too poor to own the means of killing himself. Ohabi.es Mosheb of Troy escaped from the Poughkeepsie Lunatic Asy lum, and marched enthusiastically in an Odd Fellows' procession before he was caught. Br a new electric headlight for lo comotives thirty-three telegraph pole3 can be counted ahead of the engine on a dark night. Thirty-three poles oover about one mile. Doa stealing has been reduced to such a science in Boston that a pro tective society against it has been formed, one man starting it with a contribution of $1,000. Tebba ootxa is as nearly imperish able as any known substance. It will not burn, melt, decay or crumble, and it is impervious to the effects of water, air or the gases. Twenty-two thousand dollars' worth of twine was required to bind the 1884 crop of wheat in Kansom county, Dakota, where the first fur row was turned in 188L It is said there are over 170,000 tons of sugar in the bonded ware houses of Brooklyn, an amount in store never known before in the his tory xf Brooklyn bonded warehouses. The highest salary now paid any baseball player in this country is said to be $3,200 a year, and he is said to have reoeived an offer of $5,000 to catch for the Chicago nine next year. A Council Bluffs, Iowa, saloon keeper imports his beer from Ger many, and so the prohibitory law cannot touch him, as he has the sanc tion of the United States Govern ment in his dealings. Ten million dollars in back pay, bounties and pensions is the estimated minimum cost of the act to relieve deserters passed at the last session of congress. The whole number of de serters borne on the rolls is 278,644. Somebody has made the discovery that no watch will keep the same time, carried by two different differ ent persons. If true, this is prob ably owing to the temperature of-the wearer, though difference in gait and movement may have some influence over the action of the works. Per haps, too, animal magnetism is in some degree answerable for the al leged variation. The Iowa Prohibitionists have struck a stumbling-block in the Bhape of a supreme court decision that justices of the peace cannot try offend ers, as the prohibitory law provides, because the penalty exceeds their jurisdiction. The court says a justice can only hold offenders to answer at a higher court. The result of this decision is that all cases now pend- ing must be dismissed, and probably very few case3 will in future reach the higher courts, which already have all the business they can dispose of. The inventor of an electric hat band for men's hats claims that it will stimnlate the imagination, strengthen the memory and greatly augment the working power of the brain. Such a hat will undoubtedly fill a lqng-felt want It will prove ' invaluable to poets, philosophers and politicians, particularly the latter.
