They are well braced by perimeter struts and diagonal ties, and also radial struts and ties, connect- ing in the center of the hexagon with the stair well. This stair well is a cast-iron cyl- inder shell of 7 feet diameter, resting with its wide flanged base on a solid foundation, like the outside columns, and serves as a casing to the winding stairway, which leads to the watch chamber on top of the skeleton structure. This winding stairway contains 173 steps, and six platforms with moderate rise. Six windows, at different sides of the stair well, provide light for the stairway, and afford from the platforms a wide prospect from all directions. The perimeter struts mentioned above are formed of channel bars, back to back, latticed, with tie plates at ends. The chan nels vary from g to 6 inches; the perimeter diagonals vary from 14 x 1 inches in the bottom tier, torx1 inch in the top tier; the radial ties are alli x rinch. Ties and struts are connected with columns and stair- well casting by means of pins through cast- iron lugs, but every time counected to the same lug. Cast iron had to be used when possible, because it stands the moist atmos- phere of the Gulf better than wrought iron. The top of the skeleton structure is sur- mounted by an iron ornamental house, the watch chamber, This is also of hexagonal shape, each side of the hexagon being 6 feet y 1 a 1 ‘ * e a, | Ti ri ut HT KY a4 lib aH TD TTT) hs) ead TL The process by which more than a ton of glucose is made per day, consists of convert- ing the rags into dextrine by treatment with sulphuric acid. The dextrine thus made is washed with milk of lime and is then transformed into glucose, or grape sugar, by treatment with strong sulphuric acid. Herr Regenburg, of Paderborn, Germany, proposes A NEW DISINFECTANT, which he claims possesses the advantage over chloride of lime and carbolie acid, of being inodorous. He mixes a pound of finely- powdered sulphate of iron with one pound of gypsum, and boils the mixture in five quarts of rain water. After stirring for two minutes, the fluid is poured into the cess- pool. Meanwhile two quarts of rain water, one-half quart of petroleum, and one-fifth quart of soda water-glass have been boiled and thoroughly stirred, and the mixture is then also poured into the cesspool, Mr. John C, Trautwine communicates to the Journal of the Franklin Institute the re- sults of some valuable experiments ON THE SHEARING STRENGTH OF AMERICAN WOODS. The specimens tested were in the shape of cylindrical pins .64 of an inch (or full 5¢ inch) in diameter. The central pieces sheared off were 5g-inch long. The single circular area of each pin was .322 of a square inch, and that of the two areas simultaneously sheared, .644 of a square inch. The testing machine used was made by Messrs. Riehlé Brothers, and the figures obtained were the follow- ing, in pounds per square inch : Ns > ik eiciatnnd suecddabnchdeeeas 6,280 long, and the whole ornamented with mas- Beech ‘3 eeeaks 5,223 sive corner brackets and a heavy orna- Cedar, white... oes $6 Loe mental railing on top of the upper platform. Cedar, Central American. . Sane 3,410 Six windows in the sides of the hexagon provide the light and for the necessary view over the sea. The floor of the watch chamber, as well as its ceiling, is formed of cast-iron diamond plates, supported by solid frames of wrought- iron beams ; the ceiling plates project over the sides of the watch room, so as to form the uppermost platform, of 18 feet 10 inches diameter, of the lighthouse, which will sup- port the lantern. The watch chamber, as well as the stair-well shaft, through its whole hight, is lined inside, ina very neat manner, with planed, grooved and tongued boards, as is also the under side of the ceiling plates —a necessity in the tropical climate of Tam- pico, where the heat would be oppressive during the ascension to the lofty structure, or to the party on duty in the watch room. The total hight, from the base of the stair- well to the upparmost platform, is 120 feet 2 inches, and to the focal plane of the lan- tern, 139 feet 11 inches. The total weight of the lighthouse, without lantern, will be about 15¢ tons. The lantern room, the illu- minating and revolving apparatus, which are already in Tampico, were purchased some time ago by the Mexican government in Birmingham, England, and are in every respect first class in design, material and workmanship. os a -$ —U- ee STS SRSA BRIX: PIERS NS So Decision on an Injector Patent.— March 10, 1880, Judge Wheeler, of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, rendered a decision in a case in which Nathan & Dreyfus, proprie tors of James Gresham's patent (No. 57,057) for ‘‘a supplementary jet-lifting apparatus for injectors,” sued the New York Elevated Railroad and Wm.

It would seem to be almost an inherent tendency of society that, the higher it rises in civilization, the greater becomes the dan |ger of its deterioration and extinction by the curse of war. Statesmen caanot be supposed to be ignorant of history, and yet those who dominate European politics can have known nothing with greater certainty than that military establishments and wars alone have neutralized the vast benefit to so ciety arising from the past forty years of un paralleled material progress. In proportion as science and invention increase the sources lof wealth and human enjoyment, statesmen succeed in appropriating these resources for increasing their agencies for obliterating wealth and destroying human life. It _ come to be the crowning achievement of ¢ statesman that he has made every male eit. | zen a soldier, and we have learned to esti- mate the greatness of a nation by its success in destroying. The plain conclusion is that, | while the men of science and of commerce | have succeeded in multiplying the sources of human progress and happiness, and have thereby made possible a vast advance in | civilization, men of state have failed to understand these possibilities of social ele- vation, and by maintaining the barbarous supremacy of the sword, have prevented |this nineteenth century from being a glori- ous millenium to the human race. States- men have disastrously failed, while all other men have succeeded in their contributions to the welfare of the race as it has never been the fortune of man to succeed before. What the world supremely needs for its progress, and to avert the defeat of the ele vating forces the present century has brought into play, is a new order of statesmen, in- spired with a truer appreciation of the ex- panding spirit of the age. The current discussion in Europe of a | universal reduction of national armaments | has not come a day too soon; and yet it would seem that no such thing can be hoped |for so long as governments are controlled by statesmen of the present ‘‘ blood and iron’ order. An able German journal—the | Frankfort Gazette—applies the financial test _|t the present military policy of Europe, | and with startling results. The editor first takes the case of Germany, and makes a comparison of the annual budgets in 1865 and 1879, as follows, the figures representing millions of marks : 1565 1579 os ) PEPOPPTTLLT 312.4 |} Hanover... - 339 Electoral Hesse.............. 16.3 Schleswig-Holstein asc he Nassau ....... 8.5 Frankfort ... ‘ . 2 Total. oan Soe 446.9 | Bavaria....... : conve SG 129.8 Saaony . —-o. aae 74.5 Wurtemburg ...... ereee 30.8 53-7 Baden...... - ink De 34.8 Hesse ° sae ae 8.2 17.1 | Other Btates........cceccccee 66.1 108.7 German Empire 5 Total German States. - 637.0 1,321 Thus, within the last fifteen years of boasted consolidation of the German Empire, the taxation of all the German States for the maintenance of government and defense has risen from 637,000,000 marks to 1, 000,000 marks—an increase of 107 per cent. A consolidation of States which should have economized the expenses of administration, and conserved military armaments and ex- penditures, has thus been made the occasion for more than doubling the burdens of the German people. By every just and humane standard of judgment, Bismarck’s boasted achievement must be pronounced a disastrous failure ae a curse to the Fatherland. Bad, however, as Germany is in its ex travagance of expenditure, it by no means stands alone. The disease has been common to all Europe, as will appear from the fol- lowing comparison of budgets of all the European States, as presented by the Ga zette, the figures again representing millions of marks. 18¢ 1879 Germany . 637 1 1 Austro-Hungary 1,041 1,225 France : 1, 8q | Great Britain . 1,350 1,71 Russia 1,032 1S Italy 7a 1 Spain 525 6oa Netherlands i. ae 204 Belgium e 83 Denmark 3° Sweden 42 Norway 22 Portugal go 104 Greece ° ar 43 Turkey 248 Turkish depend'cies (former) 23 1 Switzerland I ‘ Total Europe 7.976 1"! The countries which have most largely in creased their budgets are those of whose bel licose tendencies we are hearing every day, fermany and Russia; the latter having, like the former, more than doubled its expe n ditures. Taking the whole of Europe, we find that its combined budgets have risen from 7,976,000,000 marks in 186s, to 11,717 an average increase of 47 per cent, Omitting Germany and Russi i, the increase in all the other States avera about 30 per cent Che following compari son of exclusively military expenditures, in 1865 and 1879, will indicate how large a por tion of this increase in budgets is due to mar tial jealousies and ambitions, the figures, a before, representing millions of marks ~ 000,000 1n 1579 Germany 193 42 Austro- Hungary 2 France 4 Great Britain ‘ 64 Russia ‘ | Italy ' 1 Spain 1 ' Netherland ’ - | Belgium ; Denmark » 1 Sweden | Norway " Portugal Cireece 1 rurkey ) Turkish States (former) 1 Switzerland 7 Total Europe , 21 Thus, Europe has increased its expendi tures on military establishmeuts (exclusive of specific war expenses) from 2.%62,.000,0c%« marks in 1865, to 3,219,000,00¢€ in I879, Oo! at the average rate of 37% percent. Of | the total increase of 867,000,000 marks, 229 321, hi 2,454 3 237 al ) 717 000,000 is due to Germany and 292,000,00 y! to Russia, leaving 346,000,000 to be distri buted among all the other States 3 each country be considered, it will be found that the increase in army expenditures has been especially disproportinate in the case of Germany, France, Russia and many of the minor States, which have found themselves compelle “l to follow the threatening policy of the larger. Italy, Austria and Spain pre- sent a contrast to the general rule ; but, as we shall show be low, what extravagance fails toappear in their budgets finds its place in their debts In all these comparisons, it must be re membe ‘red that both 1865 and 1879 were years of peace in E urope, ‘and that, therefore, these tigures fail to measure the normal military expenditures, Ok hee Military budgets, however, afford a very imperfect criterion of the actual eost of military establishments. They rather mea sure the expense uf maintaining the armies idle. When war comes, enormous expendi- ee s arise which are not provided for in budgets and have to be covered by loans, which become a permanent charge upon the resources of the country. It therefore be- comes necessary to compare the State debts of the various nations, and of these the Frank- el Gazette gives the following statement ir the two periods, in millions of marks. 1865 1879. Germany eeeees 2,505 4,490 Austro-Hungary ..... 6,190 8,425 France 11, 12% 16,500 Great Britain ‘ saa.

Rus- sia has nearly trebled her debt; Italy has more than doubled hers; that ‘of Spain is two and a half times what it was in 1865; the same ratio of increase applies to Bel- gium; Turkey has augmented hers in the utterly hope ‘less ratio of five fold; even quiet little Portugal has doubled her indebt- edness ; F rance has increased hers by 50 per cent.; Germany by 71 per cent., and Austro lemene by 36 per cent.: while Great Britain and the Netherlands alone show any reduction of debt. The present annual debt charge of the European States, estimated on an average interest basis of 4 per cent., would amount to $865,000,000. Of this enormous burden, 64 per cent. has arisen within the last 14 years, and very largely represents the costs of war and military establishments, A bare statement of this appalling fact suffices to foreshadow the future of Europe, the depression of its industrial enterprise, the a rty and degradation of the masses of its people, and the bankruptcy that must disgrace and ruin some of its governments. It would seem inevitable that the correction of the madness of the military ambitions from which these ruinous burdens have arisen must come at no very distant day, through a determined resistance of the long wronged peoples. The sudden decease of the one German statesman to whose military policy this condition of affairs is largely due, might prove to be the removal of the key- stone of the arch that supports Europe's poenen military system. The endurance of ats government has reached the last point of tension ; and when the snap comes there may be a strange consternation among the nonchalent wearers of crowns, In the meantime, the simpler civilization of the United States, with its comparative exemip- tion from military burdens, has a magni- ficent opportunity for attracting to this Continent the population, the wealth and the commerce that have so long centered in the Old World. I Tin in Australia and Tasmania. Within the last 10 years the dev elopment of the Australian tin mines has had a direct and important influence upon the tin mar kets of the world, and yet the past and the future of these mines is little under- stood. Many of the accounts which reach us through the columns of the Eng lish press are evidently written with the purpose of affect ing prices, some writers speaking despond ingly of the mines, while others are sanguine as to their future. The observations of an impartial engineer are, therefore, worthy of attention, and the following data, taken os paper published by Herr Dr. Edward Reyer, of Gratz, Austria, will have in- terest for our readers, The tin depos its of Australia are found along the chain of hills which extends in a= direction parallel to the east coast of the contin ent These hills contain the tin lodes, and the stream deposits are found in the alluvium of the rivers which either flow westward or eastward to the coast. The ore was first discovered by G. Ford, in 1854, in the black sands in the gold fields of Vic- toria, the southeastern province. Accord ing to Smyth, the colony shipped to England annually about 120 tons of tin sand, holding ) per cent. of metal, until, in 1867, the smelting was begun in Victoria The ex ports of tin from this colony during the years 1890 to 1877 are reported to have been 110 tons in 1870, 130 in 1871, 300 in In 1574, FOOO Im IS74, 1200 in 1875 in 1876, and 2500 in 1877. The amounts sent to Holland and China are not known Mr. H. B. Clarke, the State pec logist, dis covered the tin in the neighboring colony of New South Wales in 186% The richest of Vegetable Creek, a deposits are those tributary of the Severn River, the sand of which elds t.7 per cent. of ore, one rich eareae ca 200 to 250 feet wide and « feet = k ‘red by 60 feet of sand. gravel, while ‘the greatest amount of Hung is ne on @ streak varying in width from 20 feet, and in thie kness from 3 to 13 Che bed is worked by shafts and tun nel, the material being washed after being dto the surface European laborers ohn been driven out by the cheay nese workmen, who mine under the tribute system, the capital being furnished by Euro r Chi If the! peans.
