Killed: by a. Train. - DOVER, N. J., May 16.—John Deferon, a gatetender on the Delaware, Lacks- wanna and Western railroadat this place, was struck and instantly killed by a fast freight train at Stanhope today: During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin, of Long Beach, West Va, contracted a. severe cold which left him with a cough. In speaking of how he cured it he says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Congh Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief. It has been in the market for over twenty years and constantly grown in favor and popularity.

Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan, the celebrated composer, born May 13, 1842, is said to have realized $50,000 by his celebrated song, “The Last Chord.” Balfe appears to have received high prices for the copyrights of some of his songs. For “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Mprble Halls” he received $40,000, the same for “When Other Lips,” and $25,- 000 for “The Heart Bowed Down.” At a sale in April last 36,000 was obtained for the copyright of Michael Watson’s song, “Anchored.” Sir Arthur Sulli- van sold the copyright of one of his songs,. “Sweethearts,” to Messrs. Chap- pell for $3,500. ' .For “Kathleen Mavourneen” the com- poser, Mr. F. N. Crouch, received just $25; the copyright was afterward bought bye. London firm for $2,500. “She Wore a Wreath of Roses,” another well-known song, was sold b the com- poser for 810; but when the copyright came to be sold it brought $2,500. “See-Saw” was sold for 3150, and has realized over 82,500 for the publish- ers. Amongst modern songs the fol— :lowing prices have been given for their copyright: ‘fTa-ra-ra-boom-de-aye,” $75,- 000; Miss Collins realized $3,000 a year when singing it; A: ‘Dream Faces,” $3,500; “They All Love Jpck,” $3,000; “Two Lovely Black Eyes,” $2,500; “The Bogie Man,” $2,500; “Patter, Porter,” etc., 82,400; “Nancy Lee,” $3,000; “Grand- father’s Clock,” 82,000.

How an English Convict Was Led to Make a Confession. A well-known firm of bankers in London has just made a profitable in- vestment. Some time ago a. man who had defrauded them of a large sum of money was taken into custody, con- victed and sentenced to a. long term of penal servitude. As may be imagined, says Tit Bits, the prison fare did not agree with -a man who had by means of fraud lived ‘bn the fat of the land. ' The change afiected him in many ways but he complained more particularly of the effect the food had upon his teeth. They were not numer— ous or in good condition when he was sentenced and as they rapidly becflle worse he applied to the governor of the~ prison for a. new set. . He was -told that the government di not supply prisoners with artificial teeth and at the first opportunity he wrote to the banking firm in questiOn, offering, if they would send him a new set, to give them some valuable infor- mation. Thereupon the bankers, thinking the offer might be a genuine one, sent the governor of the prison a. check for five pounds and asked him to provide the convict with a set of artificial teeth. In due course the convict kept his promise and sent the bankers certain information, by means of which they were enabled to recover no less than one thousand five hundred pounds of which they had been defrauded. They naturally regarded this as the best in- vestment they had ever made, but it proved even better than anticipated, for they have just received from- the prison authorities a. remittance of one ' pound, the teeth having cost only four pounds.

Statistics Compiled By the ,Englneerlnz and Mining Journal.- , The statistics .of the mineral and metal production ofthe United States in 1894, compared with the output in 1893, have been compiled with care and were published recently by the En- gineering and Mining Journal. The total value of the mineral and metal production of the United States in -1894 and 1893 was as follows: 1803, $515,846,806; 1894, $553,272,902; decline, 862,573,904, Or 9 per cent. This great falling off was, however, due far more to lovyer prices than to lessened quanti- ty of the product. Thus the value of At our coal production declined last year $13,783,828, or 7 per cent., while in quantity it fell off only 6,220,970 short tons, or 3% per cent. This compara— tively small decline in the volume of coal produced is substantially avmeas- ure of the whole mineral output of the country. , The copper output increased 8 per cent., from 327,255,788 pounds in 1893 to 353,504,314 pounds in 1894, though in, value it declined no less than $1,639,508, or 4% per cent. ‘ The production of gold increased 1894, but the commercial value of the silver produced declined from, $47,311,; 450 in 1893 to $31,403,531 in 1894, a. fall of 815,907,929, or 34 per cent. This W35. partly due to a. reduced production, 66,5“ 500,000 ounces in 1893 and only 49,846,-' 875 ounces in 1894, but the price also declined from 78.2 cents per ounce in 1893 to 63 cents in 1894. - Pig iron showed a. heavy decline in quantity, from 7,047,384 long tons in 1893 to 6,657,388 tons in 1894, but ”the value [declined much more than the quantity, or from $93,888,309 in 1893 to $71,966,363 in 1894, a falling off in values of 23% per cent., and in quantity only 5% per cent. The value of spelter declined $1,000,- 000, though the quantity produced fell oif but 2,250 130115.- On the whole the mineral industry of the United States has made a. highlf satisfactory record in 1894 in the quan- tity produced over such an enormous shrinkage of values. With prices lower than ever before thought possible, and in the majority of cases lower than sim- ilar articles are produced anywhere else in the world, the output has de- clined .but little. doubt maintained a large consumption, and now, with reviving prosperity and prices, the producers will reap the harvest for which they "planted in the hard times.

Discovery of a. New Mammal in the Cam- eroon Country. . A new mammal, previously unknown to natural science, has been discovered by George Zenker, a. German colonist in the country back of the Cameroon It has been lin‘ ‘museum of 'natural history,‘ in flying mouSe. While somewhat re- sembling a. bat, it certainly belongs to an entirely difierent species. The animal is the size of a. mouse, itsfur is heavy, gray and soft, and it has a. wing membrane extending from the neck allearound the body. This mem-‘ brane is covered with fine hair, lying closely against it. Two peculiarly. shaped bones, extending out from be- hind the forward extremities, lend ad- ditional support to the membrane, which is strong enough to support the flying mouse in ,short downward flut- tering. The membrane acts more like a. parachute than a wing, and the animal is unable to raise itself from the ground by means of its flying apparatus. A curiously developed tail, longer than the animal itself, gives it a. peculiar aspect. This tail is covered by tiny horny scales, between which long, wimper-like hairs are growing out, and it ends in a. brush. Little is known about the mode of life of the idiurus, but it feeds mostly on vegetable mat- ter. _ __ J Silicon Instead of Charcoal. Men are composed chiefly of charcoal and water. As beings of this composi- tion cannot exist in any heat great enough to set the charcoal on fire in spite of the water, the scientists are now- speculating as to the possibilities of the hot stars being inhabited by ani— mals with silicon substituted for char- coal. Silicon is send, or at least it bears much the same relation to sand that, carbondoes to charcoal. .1 the seams , ' tickle Such grace of design as be, secured by the most TORONTO, ONT. 7 . e‘xexexexexexooxx .
