Among a few notes on Baltimore socie ty appears an item to the effect that Jane Kilrain will take his family into the mountains tor the summer.

James. G. Blaine, jr., who has become a fireman on the Maine Central railroad, has tried various kinds of manual labor without winning much success.

The Maharajah oi Singpore, who is now in Paris, is astonishing even that blane city. His coaches, attendants, cos tumes and exjienditure are based on such a scale of elegance that he seems to have the wealth of the East at his dis posal.

I An average oi live leet of water is esti mated to fall annually over the whole earth, and, assuming that condensation takes place at an average height of 3,000 feet, scientists conclude that the force of evaporation to supply such rainfall must equal the lifting of 322,000,(XX) [>oimds of water 3,000 feet in every minute, or about three hundred billion liorse(«wer con stantly exerted.
