Russia is resorting to every means at her command to promote the manufacture of steel within her borders.

Paris raises 40,000,000 francs yearly to defray the maintenance of her sick and needy, of whom 21.4,000 were helped and doctored at home.

A forcible illustration of the weight of the atmosphere was recently given by a lecturer in London, who said that the air, which scarcely appears to be matter at all, is so enormous in mass that it really presses with nearly a ton to each square foot, so that the weight of all the buildings in the world’s metropolis, for instance, is less thaa that of the air above them.
