For example it was stated that of steam vessels engaged in the earrying trade of the world this country has only 185, annerease of 53 in four years. In actual tonnage there was a considerable deerease during 1835, while the construc- tion of in Ameriean ship yards deelined 106,373 tons in two years. An- other striking fact is that of 600 steam- ships crossing the Atlantic not one carries the American flag. No one familiar with the facts ques- tions that the situation is unfor- t 1t places this country at asc- rious disadvantage commercially. Ameri- can merchants and manufacturers can not compete on terms of equality with those of rival countries for the world's lr\dc for the reason taat the foreign transportation lines upon which they must depend naturally discriminate 1n favor of the merchants and manufactur- ersof the countries in which those lines are owned, They compel Americ shippers to pay all the tribute the possibly exact, the extent of their d mands in this dircetion bemg only lim- ited by rivalry among themselves. The tribute thus paid, amounting annually to between two and three hundred mil- lions of dollars, is nearly ail taken out of the country. In other w; our mer- chants and manufacturers are at a di advantage, while the snipbuilding in- dustry stes um-, deelines. The superiority of England, France and Germany in the ing trade has enabled those goun- tries to secure and maintain the control of four-fifths of the trade of South and ] 1 America and Mexico, of which the United States should naturally have the larger part, and with adequate car- rying s doubtless would have The vast trado of the Asian countries in tho Pucific also goes aimost wholly to those nations, largely beeanse this coun- try Jacks the means of rapid transporta- tion, There is abundant evidence of the un- fortunate situation of the United & . 2 ¥sspoct, and most intelligent peo- ple understand it, All such admit that it ought to bo remedied, It would doubt- less be very difficult to find any one fa miliar with the facts who would not say that such a position is inimical to the welfare of the country, humiliating to us as a people, and ougiht not to continue. Lt how shall it be remedied? The sub- joet has been knockingfat the doors of congress for a dozen or more years, but the wisdom of that body has been unable {0 agree upon any satisfactory plan. The champions of the marine interest app to ive haited in their scarch for expodi- ents at the subsidy policy. *“The only way,"” said Congressman Negley at the jonof the steamn navigation board, “to compete with ambitions nations who have established their merchant marine by genorous subsidics, is to adopt a like system to give our shup builders and our merchants an equal chanee.” It is pos- siblo t v may come when the people will accede to this form of heroie treat- ment, but the promise is not at present flattoring. Tho problem is one which every year, with the increasing produe- tiveness of the country and the urgent demand for outlets for our product grows in importance and presses mor strongly for solution, It probably can not be allowed to remain unsolved much longor.

These feat- ures of the market and the recent tight- ening of the purse-strings of the banks have weakened confidence and checked speculation for a rise in prices: but they have failed to depress values materially, owing to the uncertaintics of the foreign political situation and the shortage of Kuropean erops, which may at any time cause renewal of the brisk export de- mand noted in the ecarlier weeks of August. There has been no general pres- sure to sell, and the market has simply sagged downward a little under its own weight. Prices at the ciose yesterday ! were 1 cent low than at the same time last week. Corn has been in rather better demand for export, but there | been no activity in the trade. Large re ceipts have cansed a daceline of 1 cent ) bushel in vrices at Chieago, and the pros- peet of inereased shipnients thence to the board have vrevented any de- cided change for the Dbetter in castern markets, where present stocks are very small.

One of Tom Hood's funniest stories ives an account of the expericnces of himself and 2 friend in Lisbon. They had tarried long at the bowl, and when, some time after midnight, they emerged from the tap house to find their way to their lodgings, the earth performed in a most extruordinary manner. At that instant they remembered in a dizzy sort of a way that that very city had, years before, been the seene of an earthquake which had swallowed up many buildings and thousands of lives. The strange performances of the sidewalks, of the streets, and of the buildings, which cither fiew up and hit them, or fell against them with such force as to knock them down, satisfied the revelers that convulsion of the globe wus in - progress, and it is Hood's veracious deserintion of these occurrences which has amused more than one reader of that quunt poct’s works. In view of the great quake which felt only a few days ago over gy portion ot the North Amer ¢an continent, it is vossible that the only thing th iled General Sedgwick, the Speci Envoy of the United “States to Mexico, was the unsteadiness of the earth.

In the neighborhood of active vol canoes, such as Vesuvius, the tempers ture appears to be too high, and the vapor escapes as steam from what are catlod stufas. When the rocks are mor cooled the water comes forth in a liguid form. Says Dr. Peaie in Science (July 1893): It is probable all g are winally due to a violent outbreak of steam and water, and that the first stage is that of n huge steam-vent. Under sueh conditions, jrregular ecavities and prssages are more likely to be formed than regular tubes. The lining of the pass and tubes takes place after- | ward, and it is a slow proeess. Whother the subterranean passages in which the water is heated are narrow channels, en- | largement of the | iz tubes. or caverns, is probably of little consequence, except as | the periods or intervals of the geysersaro inf If water in gla tube be leated rapidly from the bottom it will be violently cxpelled from the tube, or if boiled in - - kettle that has alid and a either the lid will be blown off' or the water will be foreed out of the spout. In the first caso we have an explanation, in part at least, of Bunsen's theory; and in the second exemplitics the theories which presuppose the existence of sub- forranean cavities and connecting tubes. The simpler the form of the geyser tube, the less is the impediment to the eircula tion of the superheated water; and in this fact lies the explanation of the diflerence botween constantly boiling springs and goysers, The tions and moditica tions of the subterranean water passag however, must be important factors en tering into any complete explanation of ¢ action." r the pit of the Exeelsior goyser is the grand Prismatic spring, the hand somest of all the park springs.
