UNION pAcIrrc RAILROAD rRceREss-SEvEN
MILES A DAr.-A dispatch of October 2sth, from
what was then the end of the track of the Union
Pacific Railroad, announces the almost incredible
fact that "sevcn miles and 1870 feet of track
laid this day" If the previous achievements of
this railroad Company in rapdty of railroad build
ing had not prepared tho way for belief in their
ability to accomplish what before were considered
impcssibities, should be almost justified in fatty
denying that such feat could ever have boeu done
Seven miles day! Tho cars running to-day where
yesterday not even the screcch of the locomotive at
its nearest point of approach, could begin to be
heard Aspeod t,a. would build railroad from
New York to New Haven in ten days, from Boston
to Albany in a month! Nine hundred miles have
now been finished, more than threo hundred and
fifty of which have been built this year. Salt Lake
will be reached this season. and through connections
to San Francisco early in the coming yoar. The
time from New York to San Francisco, overland, is
now but eleven days-by steamer it is twenty-five.
Wonderful has been the construction Of this
continental railroad its traffic and operating profit
have been almost equally impressive Four million
dollars earned in the year ending juno 80, and
s544,O9S in the month Of September. To do this
work requires the service of Ill locomotives and
1898 oars while the constructing shops of the Com
pany being steadily enlarged to meet tho norea.
sing demands upon their capacity. The road is tho
roughly built and completely equipped with as fnO
| rolling stock rs can be made, and altogether, We
may bo proud Of it, as the characteristic American
railway,
No other undertaking has had more widespread
personal interest felt In its than this for
aside from the prido which overy man must feel ns
an American, in its progress, its First Mortgage
Bonds have been taken almost as widely was the
government loan The road is certain to be finished
at early day. The greatness of its traffic guar
antees full payment Of all its obligations; and the
interest which its bsndholders receive is equal to
that of the best of the government securities while
! the price is considerably less.

A SHOWER OF MEAT:

From the Los Angeles (Cal-) News, Aug. B.
Mr.. Parker, an old and respected
citizen of Los Nietos township, exhib-
tied to us yesterday number ofpieces
ofmeat that fell on the farm of j. Hud-
son. jn that township, attwelve oclock
NJ, on Sunday last. From what we can
learn it was a shower of meat and
bloc d simi Gf to that reported in Santa
Clara county some months ago, cover
ing an area of about two acres of
ground. Some ten or more persons
were at the house of Mr.. Hudson,
preparing for the funeral of child,
and were startled by the fall of meat
and blood, that lasted three minutes,
covering the blades of corn and leaE-
ing them red. The blood that lodged
upon the corn blades and grass was
mixed with short fine hair resem-
bling the outer coating OF furred ami
mails. The meat which was found
over the entire two acres, was in
pieces ranging from fine articles to
strips of six and eight inches in
length, and had the appearance of be-
ing freshly torn from some animal or
animals. Mr.. Parkei. exhibited to us
several pieces of the meat, varying
from one TO six inches in length, one
of which appeared to be the lights of
some animal; another was liver; and
another picked up by gentleman
present, was the lower part of a heart,
perfect III shape, and about one and
half inches long. A large quantity of
meat was gathered up and preserved
by different parties. The day was
perfectly clear, and the sun was shin
ing brightly, and although the shower
of meat and blood appeared to come
from the coast, there was no percepti-
BILE breeze at the time. The occur
renee naturally caused considerable
excitement among those present, and
the hope is freely indulged in that
SCIENCE will offer some reason for this
very singular phenomenon.
The Nens of the 4th says: .,
YESTERDAY our sanctum was beseig-
ed by persons desiring of see speci-
men of the meat which is said to have
fallen last Sunday on the ranch of
Mr.. Hudson, near Los Nieto. We can
only say, I'VE have it not. G A gentle
man who brought some of it to town
on Monday, after showing it to "a num-
ber of persons, on the street, started
with his rare specimens for the .Ne,cs
Office. We met him on the way, look
ing attentiEeIy at his selections, but
most deeidedly5declined his generous
offer of q title In fee simple. 1t would
afford us great pleasure to furnish all
with a sight but owing TO apeculiar
flavor with which we have not yet be-
come fully accustomed, we have been
compelled to forego the pleasure
That the meat fell we cannot doubt
Even the parsons of the neighborhood
are willing to vouch for that. Whence
it came we dare not even conjecture.

PEACHES FOR WINTER UsE.-The fol-
lowing method ofpre serving peaches
for winter use without the expense of
canning or ,boiling;in sugar is COM
mended' to those who would econo-.
mise. Peaches are plenty this season
and all may be saved and made USE
full. Down South they make them
into, what is called i"peach leather
and here people might do the same to
advantage. Crush the peaches, (but
notcfhe pits Gstones); and force
through a large colander or coarse
seixe, by rubbing, until nothing but
the skins and pits remain in the seive
the juice and spulp having passed
through into q trough or. receptacle
The skins and pits are thrown away,
and the pulpy substance poured and
spread evenly upon planed boards
with3raised edges (to prevent its rum
ming Off, or large sheet iron, pans,
which have been previously creased.
These are placed in an oven to dry.
When the preparation lis sufficiently
hardened it is peeled off from the
board or1pan and packed .awaylofor
use. 1t is delicious, nutrative,, and
healthy esculent, in its raw, state; can
be used as sauce, for pies, cakes, ect.,
as well as the ordinary dried peaches.
People of moderate means should take
advantage agef this recipe to secure
something nice, cheap and wholesome

Clipper Mowers & ,Reapers,

We call the attention of Farmers to the CLIP
PER MOWER AND REAPER, of which we
have become sub-builders, and ask their early
and careful examination of the Machines. This
machine is not an experiment. but has been
made and tested for q number of years and has
proven to be petfect Machine and perfect
success.
The CLIPPER MOWER is. beyond question,
one of the most attractive of farm implements.
in its general appearance, because of its well
adjusted proportions and tasteful design, and
the absence of the usual heavy and clumsy
parts with which other machines are encum-
beTed.
terehdngea6le parts, feature that is not fully
adopted in the construction of any other Mower.
The like parts are epdct duplicates Of each other
and will fit any machine of the same number.
THE DRAFT ATTACHMENT is a peculiar
and valuable feature of the Clipper Machine. 1t
is applied to the front end of the frame and be-
low the pole and consequently it has front and
upward draft that the inside shoe passes light
ly over the ground and the troublesome leading
wheel in front of the shoe is not necessary
THE CUTTING APPARATUS of the Clipper
is the most perfect known. The patent Cast
Steel Finger Bar and solid Cast Steel Guards
are not liable to clog or break, while by means
of the adjusting lever, the driver is enabled,
while the machine is in motion TO raise or low
condition of the surface of the ground may re-
quire. To this most important requisite of a
perfect Mower we invite particular attention
Particular attention is called to the fact that
the ClI Nr>it the only Nmachine having u front
eUt, that drd1cs its cutter bar, every other ma
chine having the disadvantage of pushing at.
There are other important features Of this ma
chine which we will not detail. but say in brief
that tine machine is worthy of the attention of
every farmer who wants the
