TB] DANISH ROYAL FAMILY. The Glucksburgs, if not wealthy. are a very lucky family. Not many years ago Christian IX. was living in a quiet chateau in the Holstein Marshes with his wife and children. puzzling his wits how to make both ends meet on an income at 32,000 per annnm. To-day with a crown oi his own and one of the saiest that a sovereign can have in the present age, he sees his oldest son in the like succession to the ancient Scandinavian kingdom ; his eldest daughter the wile oi the Prince of Wales ; his second ‘ son King of Greece; his second daughter the wife oi the heir appa- rent oi all the Russian. and his third daughter. the Princess 'l'hyro, be- trothsd to one of the wealthiest, ii not per- haps emphatically the wealthiest. oi the un- crowned princes ofEnropc. Prince Walde- mar is now the only son the King of Dan- mark has leit at home. and a handsome young Dane oi twenty ought to have no difliculty, with the help oi his brothers and sisters. in picking up a bride who will place him in a position similar to their own. All this is the work oi less than twenty years. King Christ tian even now is only in his 61st year. and the rise oi his family may. one of these days, form another romantic chapter to add to Hans Christian Andersen‘s Fairy Story of " The Swan‘s N est." ‘ Till IMPIBOB OF GSHMANY.

The trio accepted contracts tor the supply of food and clothing to the army to the extent of 20,000,- 000 roubles. and out of this are accredited with having made a profit 0! 25 per cent. Borne disclosures have just been made before the Intendencs Inquiry Commission at Odessa which, it true, would render the con- tractors amenable to the Russian law, and the authorities are consequently endeavoring to obtain their extradition iron: Austria, where they are now residing. THE HUNGARIAN MINISTER. An amusing incident occurred at a recent sitting oi the Hungarian Diet. For nearly two hours and a hall the Minister, President Tisza, listened quietly and calmly to the speeches of the members of the Extreme Lelt, who declared that they could not believe any- thing the Government said, and that it really did not intend to lay the Berlin Treaty before the House. When all these vapor-lugs had subsided, Tirza at last rose and quietly took a document from his portfolio. Laying it upon the table he said: "I herewith submit the Treaty of Berlin to the Parliament." The effect was electrlc.

" Would you be surprised to know" that sealskin jackets have quite re- turned to lever. It would puzzle any one to explain why there was each a sudden change two years ago, and such an universal feeling against its use. it could not have been pit tor the seals, for the iashlon never would have revived so soon again. But, as the clown says in the pantomimeâ€"" Here they are again." cheaper, longer. larger and more plentilul than ever. Very little change has taken place in the mexoept that the sacques are slightly shaped into the figure, and the cut oi them is rether more graceful than of yore. Mulls arestili worn. and quite untrim- med. Bound boas. both long and short. are worn, but the latest thing is the lure cape, which only reaches from the throat to the extreme edge of the shoulders. In tur, the cape appears less becoming than in any other material. The round cape with long ends in front, which is rather stole-like in shape, has made its appearance again. It is called an echarpe by the French. The long ends are finished with fur tassels, and at the waist there are trequently openings at the heck ct tne for for the insertion o! the hands. as into amufl‘. The fashionable furs are seal. beaver. Russian sable, skunk, Virginie and Arkansas fox, black end silver for, lynx, marten. otter and Chinchilla. Russian sable is as much valued as ever, its possession forming one 01 the great ambitions oi some ladies hearts. For the close-fitting jackets worn by young ladies, the fur is applied on the collars. pockets and cuffs. Some immensely long seelskin jackets and mantles are to be found in the shops ; these, however. seem too remarkable tor ordinary wear, and would be the means at attracting more notice than a lady-like woman would desire.

A saving of three-fourths of the labor in handling fuel. 2. The fire doors are not opened from the beginning of a voyage to its end. and the draughts of cold air so ' injurious to the boilers will be obviated. 3. Combustion being perfect. there will he no carbonization oi the tubes, and the scraping that now wears out the tubes will be done away with. 4. The smokebeing absolutely con. sumed the vessel will be cleaner and the danger from sparks entirely avoided. But the great- est achievements will be iron making. With the mechanism invented by Mr. Salisbury, a blast furnace of thirty tone per day will con vert its liquid iron into blooms of wrought iron or steel, at a cost so trifling that it en- hances the value of pig metal 100 per cent. Sulphur and carbon, the two deteriorating elements present in the wrought iron now made, are utterly cast out. In the Salisbury furnace the pig metal is melted to a thin liquid in fifteen minutes. It is then drawn off into a second furnace, one foot lower than the first and which is heated by the waste heat of the first. The second furnace is immediately charged with a continuous sheet of hot air and superheated steam of 1,600 degrees and immense pressure, which keeps ‘ every particle of the liquid metal in agitation and burns out the carbon utterly in from eight to ten minutes, when it is ready for the puddler. At no time can any cold air come in contact with the liquid, and consequently every particle he- oomes united. Every trace of sulphur is taken up. Thoinetant the metal is run off ‘ into the second furnace. the first is filled with pigs; when No. 2 is taken out by the puddier. the new lot is ready to run into the second furnace. and so on in ceaseless alter- nation.

This business has long had a dragging burden of an enormous over production. The world cannot use it as (as as the earth sends it torth. Oil cannot h pumped except at aloss. Mr. Salisbury, th inventor. is about to make a proposition for permanent contract to take at Pittsburg all this surplus and all their distillate tar naph- thas at a price that will give the producers fully fifty per cent. profit. The ocean steamship business will also ice] the efl'eot of this revolution. In a single trip across the Atlantic a saving of about $5,000 will be effected in freight room alone. The hazard will not be increased, for this fuel. as prepared {or ocean pnrposes,con- tains only the residuum oi petroleum alter the volatile and inflammable portions have been eliminated. It will not blaze when thgmu upon live coals. "I can send this 5:55;“, white flame from the Battery to Grace Church if I have a {mammal-ch thlt long,"_ wig! the inventor. The cause of this demonstration was the fact that the means had at last been discov- ered of using petroleum for fuel in producing steam, and the results were so extraordinary. in the perfect combustion, the intensity oi heat, the enormous pressure of the super- heated steam. the astonishing evaporation, the freedom from all impurities, that these experts at once realized that a revolution in all departments where steam is used must occur immediately. The fuel is made 0! the residuum oi petro. leum and coal tar, which is mixed to about the consistency of molasses. It is conducted 1 from the barrel to the furnace by means of a small gaspips. At the end of this pipe as it extends into the door of the iurnaee is a funnel-shaped apparatus. As the fuel enters this funnel it comes in contact with a‘current oi super-heated steam, which atomizes the liquid. so that as it leaves the machine it induces the required amount of oxygen to enter and mix at the point of ignition. Thus the atomized fuel shoots in a fierce but delicate spray into the blazing furnace. The brick arches of the great furnaces are kept at white heat. and a pure white flame flashes along the whole length, registering a heat of 5,000 degrees. melting pig iron in ten minutes, instead of two home, and making liquid glass in two hours, instead of six. teen. All that there is to maintain this ex- traordinary heat is the slight spray darting in from the little funnel, which comes just within the door. while the grimy coal-beaver stands aside, looking on with the air of one ‘ whose occupatmuisgone.

Ran Dncnu Btvn Breanneâ€"The Prin- cess Alice disaster has elicited from Mr. R. F. Fairlie a suggestion that river steamers should be so built that the deck should be complete in itself, and capable ol floating like aralt, even with a considerable weight of passengers, and that it should be secured to the hull by a fastening of a temporsryl character. which could readily be withdrawn in time of danger. leaving the hull free to‘ sink alone, while the deck would be lelt upon ‘ the surface. Explaining how he would ac- ‘complieh hie ends, he says a simple way of fastening the deck to the hull would be by eyes descending item the under surlace of the deck. and paeeing through slots in angle irons, which should form part of the aides and of the upper eurlece oi the hull. Each 01 these eyes should receive a 1; inch pin, and all the pins should be connected to a chain, or to levers worked by a chain. which should itself be carried to a wheel placed immediately aetern oi the steering wheel. It would then be easy for the eteereman. on an alarm being given, to withdraw the whole of the pins by a single movement.
