LIFE has for an observer such a quick
succession Of amusing adventures, that
il is almost inconceivable he should
ever feel dull or weary Of it. No one
day resembles another. Every hour,
every minute OPENS new stores to our
experience, and new excitements to our
curiosity. We are always. on tho eve
and morrow Of surprising events. Like
the moth, we are forever flying towards
the star-with this difference, we attain
it; and if sometimes VIC find the halo
we faneied a glory ID but some deceiving
mist, we have at least learned a lesson.
II We look upon life merely ss humble
students, we shall not feel any great
bitterness at such disappointments. 1t
is only when We hug our Ignorance to
our hearts, when We are and deserve to
be miserable-when We embrace the
cloud, that we lose in goodness. But If
we open the eyes Of the mind, and de-
termine to be neither wantonly stupid
nor i%nat.entive, an enchanted world
begins to rise from chaos. The aspect
Of the room in which we sit grows lively
with q thousand unexpected curiosities.
wediscern the most ordinary person is in
vested with some noticeable characters
tic. II we deign to look out for FIVE pleas.
ant minutes at any commonplace thing,
we become aware of its peculiar beauty I;
and there is not q bird that wings through
the air, nor a flower that blossoms in the
garden, nor an insect that crawls in the
depth of tho earth, nor a fish that swims
in the water, but has its W singular
aud delightful story.-Hou,ehoid Words.

TIE LAST LINK IN THE PACIFIC RAIL
RoAp.-As will be seen by reference to
dispatches and reports elsewhere, the
Western Pacific Railroad is finished,
and in operation, from Sacramento to
the line Of the Alameda Railroad, which
latter completes the connection by rail
with San Francisco Bay. The first
train of ears from Sacramento to the
Bay arrived early this afternoon, bring
ing passengers from New York. For all
practical purposes, this completes the
Pacific Railroad, the Alameda road
having gone into the hands Of the
n Of the California end Of the
continental railway. The short link on
the direct line to Oakland will soon be
finished. Meanwhile the Alameda road
will serve to give the public an all-rail
route to the State Fair, aud afterwards
to the Mechanics Institute Fair in this
city. The arrival ut Alameda Of the
hrst train from Sacramento is o notable
event. When the cars come to Oakland
an outburst Of local enthusiasm may
naturally be expected. Tho Western
Pacific Company have pushed the work
on their road very rapidly since the
completion Of tho Central Pacific, less
than four months ago. In a little while
they will BIO able to begin the construc-
ticn of the California and Oregon Rail-
road, and the San Joaquin and Tulare
Valley Railroad, which lattor project is
said to be actually among their plans
for the near future.-Sdn Frdneiseo BuI-

RAILROADS INCREASING VALUE
OF PROPERTY.


In 1880, before o railroad vas in
the taxable valuation of real
and personal property in Massachusetts
was S20s $3.50, 400. 10 1910, when the
State had 3ol miles Of railroad, the
assessed valuation was $2s7 1913 1921.
In 1860, when it had 1924 miles of rail-
road, the valuation had increased to
$ss7, sss, 1926, and in 1865 to $780,
0Oo, 600. 1t is a singular fact that while
the increase Of production in the last
decade has been 70 per cent, the in
crease Of population has been only 3
per cent. Those who are apprehensive
of universal bankruptcy in consequences
of the increased amount of money going
into railroads and other public improve
msnts, will take courage from this ex.
hibit of the State Of Massachusetts
within the last 40 years. The value Of
these improvements, ever tho poorest OF
them, give to the surrounding property
an increased value of four-fold their
cost. What is said OF Massachusetts, is
equally true of every other section Of
the country where there is sufficient
population to deyelope the latent re-
sources.

FAST HoRsIs IN NEW YoRK.-A cor
respondent of the Boston Journal writes:
A man is thought very little Of in New
York unless he keeps 9 fast team. What
horse racing is to the English, fast trot-
ting is to New Workers.. "Ths road :"
is full Of teams during the season, and
the fabulous price which New Workers
pay for a fue team is wonderful. When
it /, known that o new horse 10 to be
shown off, whose time is remarkable,
New Workers become as excited over
the intelligence as if q great battle was
to be fought. It is a common thing for
Sc, 900 or $40. 900 to be paid for a pair
of horses. Vanderbilt has long been
looking for a team that will keep Bon
ner's dust out of his eyes. When Slo,-
900 amounted to something, he put that
up as a standing offer for q fast team.
He would give $4,000 in a minute if
be could find something to beat Dexter,
The great excitement just now is over a
horse known as the American Girl.
She was sold for $4,000. The price
then rose to $4,000. She trotted on
the Narragausett course, and is said to
have equaled the best time Dexter ever
made. On her return the owner was
offered $40, 900 for the horse, which he
refused, and he now asks S52 900.
Commodore Vanderbilt has made the
fortune of a great many men during the
last six months by i%ustructing them to
buy Hudson River and Central. These
men propose to buy the American Girl
and present her to the Commodore as q
token of gratitude.

An apparent paradox has just been
announced in the fact that India rubber,
when stretched and exposed to the heat,
contracts instead Of expanding a fact
very contrary to common experience, as
the result Of the application of heat.
This is explained, however, by the fact
that the rubber is very porous, and
filled with air cells, which, when the
rubber is stretched, assume Al elonga-
ted shape. When heat is applied, it OF
course expands the rubber to . certain
degree but at the samo time It expands
the air cells, which, by shortening their
longitudinal axis, produces q virtual
contraction of the rubber,
