Facts About Men Who Mini KiiRlniul's Ships. A return of the number, ages, ratings and nationalities of the sea men employed on the3ist of March, igoi, is issued in the form of a Blue Book in London. The sta tistics have been prepared from lists of crews and other documents in the charge of the registrar-general of shipping seamen, with a view to showing the number, ages aud ratings aud nationalities of seamen employed on a given day namely, the 31st of March, on sea going vessels, except yachts, reg istered under Part 1 of the mer chant shipping act, 1894, in the British island. They do not show the total number oi seamen who follow the sea service in connection with the registered seagoing vessels. The summary constitutes the third quinquennial "census of seamen thus employed, a census having pre viously been taken on the 5th of April, 1891, and on the 25th of March, 1896. An increase which is shown in the number of seamen on trading vessels consists entirely of I,ascars and foreign seamen. During the ten years from 1891 to 1901 the number of Lascars in creased by 12,288, and foreign sea men by 8730. In the same period British seamen (included those born at sea, and those whose birthplaces were not stated), decreased in muif her by 7155. Assuming that Kuglatid, Scot land and Ireland now supply the number of seaffren in the same pro portion as they supplied those em ployed on March 31, 1901, it would appear that, in proportion to their population, England supplies not quite so many seamen as Ireland aud only about half the number supplied by Scotland. The seamen of the various nationalities are dis tributed among the ratings in very different proportions. There is a large perccntagj of petty officers aud engineers of Scottish birth, aud of the able seamen and firamen of Irish birth; while nearly half the foreign seamen .were serving in the rating of able seamen. The de crease in the number of British sea men amounts to 2558 in the quin quennial period from 1891 to 1896, and to 4597 in the period from 1896 to 1901. An increase of 8730 foreign seamen during the past de cade was not distributed in equal proportions in the different ratings in the coasting, home and foreign trades. In the home aud coasting trades the percentage of foreigners rcmaiuscomparativelysmall, though it has risen from 2.8 in 1.891 to 0.8 in 1901" These figures and further details are given in a comparative table, where it is shown that the percentage of foreigners in the foreign trade has increased from 20.1 in 1891 to26.rln 1901. Among oflcers, however, the proportion of foreigners has slightly decreased. Loudon globe. Historic Uavel. The Father of Greater New York, our Grand Old Man, Andrew H. Greene, says the New York Press, who presided at the ceremon ies in Kiauuce's Tavern, used a gavel that has a record in the cause of liberty. It belongs to Dr. W. 0. McDowell, and whs first used in the tavern at the centennial anni versary of the inauguration of George Washington as president, April 30, 1889. On that occasion the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution was organ ized. It was due to Dr. McDowell that this organization included daughters as well as sons. The same gavel was used a year later, when the "D. A. R. S." were formed into a separate society. It has presided at these celebrations Ccuteiiiiiul of the adoption of aeon-1 stitutional government by Poland 1 under Kosciusko, centennial of the fall of the Hastile, centennial of the birth of the Republic of Prance, ' 600th anniversary of the Swiss compact, centennial of freedom of the press in Hungary, first anni- versary of the Pan-American Con-' gress, 400th anniversary of the dis- covery of America, Fourth of July ! celebration at the World's Fair, ' when the flag of universal liberty!

A well-known Pittsburger, just returned from New Mexico, des cribes a visit to the jail of a border county, which, through the kind ness of the warden, he was per mitted to make during his tour of the country. He said that in one end of the cell department were large pictures of McKinlcy and Roosevelt, with letters six inches .1 ..1-!. .:.... ...i. t. .,, IH'CI) U.XIMIUIIMI W11U UlVjf llt and underneath the picture of Mc Kinlcy were his memorable last words. The two pictures were easily rec ognized and the visitor was much surprised when the warden told him that he had painted them him self. He was more surprised when he made a tour of the cell tiers. Over the door of each cell was painted a motto, as "What is. home without a mother?" "I am happy as the day is long," "A hot time in the old town .tojiight," and others too numerous to mention. The Pittsburger was puzzled at first to know the meaning of all this placarding, but the jailer ex plained, as he had to paint the jail himself once every year, to add spice to the work and lend a little more coloring to the interior of the otherwise barren and plain white walls, he thought of the motto scheme. The selection was varied enough to suit any taste. Titles of popular songs were seen over the doorways to cells containing pris oners whose appearance was totally at variance with the idea conveyed. For purposes of harmony with the surroundings some of the titles of songs are appropriately modified, for instance: "Home Ain't Noth ing Like This," is made into "Home Ain't Nothing Like This My Wife's There," over a cell into which during- the course of a year numerous drunks find refuge until they arc fit to mingle again in their home circles. Pittsburg Gazette. (as Mantles. An interesting article appears in Nature from the pen of Maurice Solomon on the theory of the gas mantle. The widespread use of the incandescent light has led scientists. to speculate not only on the com position best adapted to give 0 full measure of light, but on the actual conditions in virtue of which the light, as Mr. Solomon puts it, rep resents one of the most efficient ar tificial illumiuauts that the in genuity of man has devised. He comes to the conclusion that the explanation of the niaiUle's power of emitting its light is to be found not in one cause but in a plurality of conditions. Thus there must be good radiating power by way of diffusing the light, the possibility of attaining a high temperature, and also what Mr. Solomon styles the "selective emissivity" of the mantle, this last indicating certain chemical operations incidental to mantles and light or temperature. The study of the scientific condi tions which make one mantle more efficient as a light giver than another, must in time benefit the public in supplying them with a P"rfcct appliance, economical in use and giving the highest return in light for the consumer's outlay.
