ernor Matteson, in his late message says, four
years ago, according to the best estimates that
could be made, her commerce did not exceed
S2O, ,0O0 600, and that was then considered a
very liberal estimate. Now it will undoubted-
]y reach $500, 900. The Importance Of
the great thoroug gbfare through the State can
hardly be over-esimated. From the extreme
northern to the extreme southern sections they
are stretched out like great arms to embrace the
products of the west and conduct them IN safe
ty to their more eastern destination.
Concentrating at and diverging from Chca-
go, there are forty railroads, 1916 miles of which
are finished and in working order, There were
945 miles completed in 1856, and there are
1929 miles more in various states of building
and expected to be completed all in eight years.
The total earnings of all The roads centerng
at Chicago for 1856 were $l7.543 242. Five
years ago there were but 95 miles Of railroad
completed within the State of Illinois, and
their earnings were $4,000. Twenty years
ago Chicago was not an incorporated city; now
its population is over OO,O0O
We have given the above figures to show
what railroads do, what they have done and
what they will do for any community sagacious
and enterprSing enough to bring into requsi-
ton their tremendous enginery their power to
develop the natural resources of a country, to
increase travel, to build up and diversity manu-
factories, to create population and business, to
ramfy indefinitely human industry, to increase
commerce and wealth and makes great cities.
scARLAT1SA-A prescription for the cure Of
small pox, scaratna, and measels, has been
published by member of the Royal College of
Surgeons, London. Itisreported to have been
tested with invariable success in innumerable
instances, and the recipe is as follows:
Take one grain of powdered foxeloye or
dgita|is valuable in ratio of its greenness, and
the same quantity of sulphate of zinc or white
viriol; rub thoroughly in a mortar with a few
drops of water; add four ounces of water and
a little sugar Of this mixture, a tablespoon
ful should be given toan adult, and a teaspoon
full to a child, every second hour, until symp-
toms of disease vanish. The herb annhilates
the fever, and the zinc acts as a tonic

The Scientific American publishes an article
from professor Hall, and endorses it, prophesy
ing that the Ocean telegraph will result in fa-
lure. In addition to the difficulties of laying
continuous wire cable of such length and of
preserving a perfect insulation with thin coat
ing Of guta pcrcha the following reason is as
signed for this opinion:
1t can be easily demonstrated that coil Of
wire, ever so well insulated, if immersed in
water, will not effectan electro magnet with the
same power as if rested out of water. The
proximity of so antagonisc an element pro-
duces sensible effect upon the electric cur
rent. and would, in the lenythof cable pro-
posed, entirely absorb the subtle fluid, espec-
ally all that could be forced through SO small a
wire as the one contemplated. But even ad-
mitting communication possible, it is known
to electricians that in submerged wires per-
cepLible period of time elapses in the passage
of the current, and that this period increases
with the length of cable and that it requires
some seconds of time before the wire is un-
changed after each signal. In the length of
cable proposed according to recent expert
ments, it would require over six seconds for
each signal making less than half a column in
the New York Herald for twenty four hours
work as its possible capacity-not one-twenti-
eth the probable demand.

The Appletons, N. York, announce a literary
enterprise Of great magnitude and general i'm
portance. They propose to publish New
American Encyclopedia designed to present
in a compact form for the practical use of men
of all classes and pursuits, a complete survey
and summary of all the facts Of human knowl-
edge pto the present day. The Encyclope-
dia Americana is now more than twenty years
old, and excellent as it was in its time. there is
now pressing necessity for work which shall
contain the fruit Of the immense progress since
accomplished in every department of letters,
science and industry. If we understand Alright
the plan of the Messrs. Appleton, their work
will cover a wider field than most, if not all
of its predecessors. 1t will be at once die
tionary of history, geography, biography, phi
osophy, literature, politics and practical sci
ence and industry.
