use of wooden rails, and over them
they transported thousands of tons
of army supplies and soldiers. A
much higher rate OF speed may be
obtained on wooden rails than is
generally supposed. 1t properly
built, speed OF fifteen Or twenty
miles an hour may be safely attained,
which is as much or more than is
realized on some iron roads, rated as
first class, but too often in reality
rotten and unsafe concerns.
One Of the requisites for the sue.
cessiul working Of wooden railways
is that the locomotive shall be light,
and also the loads carried. Good
broad faced wheels are also essential.
Such railroads can be constructed in
some localities for the small sum OF
$1,000 mile. The exhibition of
very little united spirit and energy
among country neighbors would put
their towns and villages in railroad
communication with the principal
through lines of travel
The rails are made of heart pine.
4 by 6 inches, wedged edgewise
every three feet into heavy notched
ties This forms track equal III
strength to that Of any other railroad,
and is capable of bearing heavy roll
ing stock, provided the wheels have
a rim FIVE inches in width. Fine
sand and dust. which gets on the
rail, is soon crushed into the wood
by the car wheels, and forms hard
and gritty surface. that does not wear
and greatly facilitates the traction,
The rails, if sound, will last num-
her of years.

BAD BREAK.-The break alter re-
Gently constructed just above the
ferry landing, is in bad way. The
tiinbers at the river end, unable to
resist the force of the current have
sprung, and the work is threatened
with destruction. Had the river
continued to rise, that portion of the
structure exposed to the current
would doubtless have been swept
away, by this time. As it is, the
river has been falling for the past
week, and in few days more may
leave the break unexposed to the
washing influence Of the water
Mr.. Troskalowski, civil engineer.
believes the sinkingin Of the earthen
portion OF the break water to have
been caused by an underground
spring which he observed at The
time the men were digging for thu
foundation Of the structure, and that
this is the principal canse moreover,
Of the bullying out of the end timbrrs.
"Trosky" is of the opinion that this
breakwater cannot BIZ made to stand,
but that he has plan for building
one which could not fail Of success.
Incredulous as We are with regard
TO the permanent stability or con
tinuance Of any structure founded
upon or underneath the river soil OF
the Mississippi, We would, neverthe-
less, were not our citizens so severely
taxed and our city not suffering from
so many drains upon It's treasury,
recommend Trosky's plan to the Ia
vorable consideration Of the munich
pal authorities.

Tpr WONDERS or ANCIENT ROME.

THf WONDERS or ANCIENT ROME.
Modern writers, taking London and
Paris tor their measureof material civ.
iiization. seem unwilling to admit that
Io,ne could have reached such a
pitch OF glory, and wealth, aud power.
10 him who stands within the narrow
limits OF the Forum, rs it now ap-
pears, it seems incredible that it
could have been the centre Of much
larger city than Europe can now
boast of. Grave historians are 10th
to compromise their dignity and
character for truth by admitting
statements which seem to men of
limited views to be- fabulous, aud
" hich transcend modern experience.
But we should remember that most
Of the monuments of Ancient Rome
have entirely disappeared. Nothing
remains of the Palace Of the Caesars,
which nearly covered the Palatine
Hill; little of the fora which con-
nected them together, and covered
space twice rs large as that inclosed
by the palaces of Louvre and Tuille-
rles, with all their galleries and courts;
almost nothing of the glories Of the
Capitoline Hill, and little compare
lively of those Therma which were
mile in circuit. But what does re-
main attests an unparalleled Crap
,eur-the broken pillars of the Fo-
rum; the lofty columns Of Trajan
and the Marcus Aurelius; the Pan
theon, lifting its spacious dome two
hundred feet in the air; the mere
vestibule of the baths OF Agrippa
the triumphaI arches of Titus and
Trajan and Constantine; the
bridges which span the Tiber; the
aqueducts which crossed the Cam.
pagna; the Cloaca Maxima, which
trained the marshes and lakes Of the
infant city; but above all, the Coli
scum. What glory and shame asso
ciated with that single edifice. That
alonr', il nothing else remained OF
Pagan antiquity. would indicate
grandeur, and fully such as can not
now be seen on earth. 1t reveals
wonderful skill and masonry, and
great architectural strength; it shows
the wealth and resources OF rulers
who must have had the treasurers of
the world at their command it indi-
Gates an enormous population, since
it would seat all the male adults of
the city of New York it 81 ows the
restless passions of the people for
excitement, and the necessity on
their part of yielding to this taste.
What leisure and Incidence marked

up 30 much time to demoralizing
sports What facilities for trans
portation were afforded, when so

recently published "Curiosities Of

Hest Times a gossipy and readable
account of the most famous time.
pieces in the world, illustrated with
all sorts OF anecdotes bearing upon
or relating to the subject. The
costliest watch that was ever made
Is said to have been one which was
constructed in 1914 for the Sultan
Abul Medjid, who must have found
1t rather inconvenient, since it was
five inches in diameter, and struck
the hours and quarters on wires, with
a sound resembling that of a pow
erful cathedral clock. 1t cost twelve
hundred guineas. Another famous
watch was noted for it smallness.
1t was inserted in the top OF a pencil
case, and though it was but three
six,eenths OF an in diameter, its dial
not onl y indicated the. hours, min
utes and seconds, but also the days
of the month. 1t was made in
Geneva, and was displayed in the
London Exhibition of 1851.
