A Lively Locality.

| spent lively night with some
friends on the top of Vesuvius, freez-
ing on one side and broiling on the
other. We kept ourselves awake by
the amusement of lodging the falling
stones. About once in ten minutes
the old mountain gave SILVER, then
d burst-like forty thousand muffled
cannon, if ever there was such a
thing. AT each burst, a cloud Of black
smoke, in the shape Of an inverted
hay-stack. and about thirteen times
the size of the Calf House, was driv-
en- into the air followed by a mass of
livid flame that lighted up the coun-
try for leagues around. Then, boys.
look out for the stones. Millions of
tons are thrown hundreds of feet in
to the air, most Of them falling back
into the crater, but many, varying
in size from q pigeons egg to tobac-
co hogshead, land outside, and you
must dodge-generally easy enough,
as they are of white heat and show
as plain as rocket stars. They tum-
bic down the steep cone, kissing and
steaming in the snow-the big ones
breaking into fragments and flying
like bursting shell. Now, boys, is
the time, ten minutes interval. We
rush up to the very edge of the abyss
and look down to see further partic-
ulars-Dante's Inferno"-but you

Narrow Gauge Railway,

The narrow gauge railway system,
Of which much has been written, is
likely to have q formidable competitor
in the plan successfully introduced
in France by an engineer named
Larmanget. This plan contemplates
railroads having single rail, upon
which the middle wheels Of the loco
motive and freight-wagons run, while
their outer wheels move upon the
common road bed. This rail is made
like those in use for street car pur-
poses, and known as the Y rails, in
to width the wheel fits closely
enough to be retained in position.
The road-bed is made Of ties, two and
a. half feet apart, and four feet long,
upon the center of which the rail
rests. OF course, that portion of the
road upon which the outer wheels
travel is well made, and as hard
as practicable. The greater part of
the weight is arranged to bear upon
the raj itself, while the outside wheels
are useful mainly ih keeping the
wagons evenly balanced. Several
roads Of this sort are already in oper-
alton in France, and engines weigh
ing ten tons have been found capable
Of drawing a load Of fifty tons up an
incline Of one foot in fifty, at the rate
Of six miles an hour. Smaller en-
gines, of half this weight, will draw
thirty-ive tons, up similar incline,
at almost twice the speed named.
Such roads are built, it is estimated,
at $1,000 per mile. unless extra roads
ballasting is required, when $4,000
will cover their cost. By the adop-
ton of such system of road, every
farmer can adjust his wagon TO run
upon them, and, by tapping one at
any convenient point with q road
running from his own barn-door, can
send his truck" literally, to market
in comparatively independent and
inexpensive manner, and without the
delays and transfores now inevitable.
