Interesting Figures.

The total length Of railway in the world
is put down at 100, III miles, and it cost
$40, 500, ISL, 9S2. The United States have
AZ PAT miles. The next largest national
supply is in Great Britain, II, 247. Franco
has 9,935 miles; Russia, 4,31G; Prussia,
1925, Italy, 400; Austria, 4,429; South
Germany, 2,GS1; Spain, 3 429; Belgium,
l, 793; and the North German States 1871:
British India, 1902; and the Canadian Do
minion, 1,348. No other lands exceed 1000.
The distribution of railway to area and
population is a curious branch of tho stat
istics. This country has 7,1O4 square
miles to each mile of rail, and 87,G15 in
habltants Mexico brings 2!S25, 40 miles
of area, and 4O,8S5 Inhabitants to meet
each OF her 295, miles of road. Great Brit
ian has $50 square miles, and 1,O56, 80 in:
habitants under the same supply Of rail!
The absolute cost Of constructions
was greatest to- Great Britain,
an n Her 'e outlay ns %as $. i1:sii 1885, and
ours S1,864, 519, 313. France came up to-.
81, SIG, 665, 1892, and there the billions stop
The Prussian system represents STAT, GS9.-
346, and the Russian STA, 700, 474. Belgi-,
um, reticulated as she is, reports cost oil
only S186, 1913, 86l. The smallest amount.
credited is two miles in Natal, South Africa,
but these two miles cost Sis, 1923, while
Jamaica built fourteen miles for only $780,
III. The relative cost of building was
greatest in Brazil, where it is set down at
$2O4, 157, against SIG, 26O in Great Britain,
S15S, ia in France, s97,210 in Holland,
$751; in Denmark and S44, 255 in the
Unitad States. In Russia the cost was
$1G9, 922. Tho wonderful disparity in the
cost OF constructing mile of railway is
the most remarkable feat We have, especial
ly when there is taken into consideration
the fact that labor is everywhere cheaper
than here, and tho cost of living less; al
though it is true that the roads of other
countries are much better built and better
furnished.
EXPERIMENTS WITH Aps1NTnE French
savant, DR.. Magnen, has just been trying.
experiments upon guinea pigs, to illustrate
the haneful effects Of absinthe. He adj
ministered to one animal (says cores
pondent) four grammes of strong brandy
which is an ingredient of the French
mans deadly drink-with the natural re-
suit of making the poor little pig shame
fully inebriated That effect we might
have expected without the grave intcrven-
ton of science. To another unfortunate
creature Of the same species he gave es-
sence of absinthe pure and simple, and as
a consequence extreme suffering WAS pro-
duced. "If the dose be weak" says NJ.
Magnen, ''it causes vertigo; the animal !
hangs down its head, evinces sadness and
remains motionless. Then shudder
comes over the anterior part of the body,
gradually followed by starts in the muscles
Of the neck This symptom will, by de-
grees, extend to the whole of the animals
foreparts; the creature will appear as if UNI
der the influence of electric shocks; its fore
legs are stiff1y stretched to support its body.
while the hind legs are slightly bent, as if
to seek purchase. A larger dose will in
duce violent nervous fits"

Romance in Real Life.

About ten years ago young man named
Qnackenbush left his home in Warwick,
Orange county, with drove of cattle for
New York city. He arrived at his destina-
ton, sold his cattle. and from that time up
to last Saturday his relatives lost all trace
of him. On Saturday man of about 80
years arrived OF Warwick, bringing intelli-
gence of the missing young man. 1t seems
that Quackenbush was robbed in New York
city after selling his cattle, and in despera-
ton at his loss he shipped for California.
He went to the mines and formed an asso-
citation with two young men to care for each
other in sickness and during life, and to
share each others fortune in case of DEATH
When the gold fever broke out in Australia
tho trio went thither, and labored togeth.
er with success. Last year, however, MIR.
Quackenbushs associates dice, and as their
heir, under the agreement, he found him
self possessed of about $3.50 He de-
termined to return to his early home, and,
gathering up his treasures, sailed for Liv-
erpool. There he was taken sick and died
last spring. The aged messenger referred
to was stopping at the same house with Mr..
Quackenbush, and as he intended to come
to this country as soon as he could arrange
his affairs, to him was entrusted the duty
of informing the relatives of Mr.. Quacken-
bush, in Warwick. He was received there
at first with suspicion; but he produced
satisfactory references, and the family have
taken steps to recover the fortune which
awaits them in ENGLAND.

TRIAL OF THE MINISTERIAL. WIFE MUIR
DERER-The trial of Rev. Isaac B. Smith,
the Congregational clergyman. residing at
Junction, Kane county, Ill. charged with
drowning his wife in Poplar Creek, n small
stream on the confines of Cook, Kane
county, on the 18th of June last, COM
menced In tho Kane Circuit Court, at &C.
neva, on the Sd inst 1t will be recollected
that while fording the stream in a buggy,
in which were himself and wife, the latter,
as he claimed, fell from the buggy in
fainting fit, and was drowned before he
could rescue her. The water in the creek
where she was drowned was less than
twenty inches deep. Subsequent dew lop-
ments lod to the suspicion that Smith had
drowned his wife for the purpose of OBJ
tanning insurance to the amount of So, 900,
which he had on her life, and he was ar
rested, indicted and committed on charge
of numbering her. All Wednesday was
occupied in empanneling the jury. A
large number of clergymen were present,
who gave the prisoner their sympathy and
support. Tho court room was crowded,
and great interest is manifested in this
trial. The prisoner is defended by Hon.
J. F. Farnsworth, Hon. Charles Wheaton,
A. Barney and J. s. Wilcox. The prosecu-
ton is conducted by G. J. MetZger, states

THE GAsopHANER. invention that
may develop into something of great value
is that of al English chemist, designed to
show tho existence of malarious gases. A
piece of fused boracic acid, the size of a
walnut, is heated to redness in chlorine.
The mass il then blown the same rs com.
mon glass into bulb, and the ''gasophaner'

to contact with carbonie acid gas it be-

Of the gasophnner that the breath of a child
or healthy person, breathed on the bulb,
can be detected from that of n person OK

"A Belgian weekly paper, the Flandern,
issues the following peculiar notice; "Clois-

In this vessel, is an elongation of the stem,
of the length and size of an ear of Yankee

which is about eight feet in height, has

Texts of Scripture have often been in
scribed upon coins. One OF the most re-
markable is on a copper coin issued by
the Papal government. on which are the
words, Va voJis div;HLus-" Woe to you
who are rich" When the greenbacks were
first issued by the United States. Mr..
Chase, then Secretary Of the Treasury, con-
sulated, among others, the President ofone
of the Philadelphia banks in regard to
placing some motto upon them-such, for
example. as has since been impression upon
the five-cent pieces God we trust -
After mentioning several scriptural texts
that had occurred to him, the Secretary
asked our bankers opinion. "Perhaps,"
was the reply, the most appropriate would
be: "Sllver and gold have 1 none; butsu
as have give thee!" The project was
abandoned.
WArEnrRoor1Na FABR1cs-A new way
for making fabrics impermeable to water
is announced in the European journals, the
operation being simple, but requiring care
to preserve tho material from injury during
its continuance. The cloth is first submit
ted to the action of moderately strong sui
phuric acid, the time of such action vary
ing with tho nature of the fabric, but never
exceeding two minutes. A thorough wash
ing follows, and when dried tho material is
ready for use. The action of tho acid is to
decompose the wool or cotton tibres into a
glutinous material, the gum filling up the
spaces between tho threads, and thereby
preventing tho passage OF water.
