the train moved along; now backing
and butting, now going ahead a mile
or two, and now standing motlonless for
an hour at a stretch.
Meantime, the. second engine had
come up, aud il was hoped their united
strength would form passage, but again
the water in the tanks ran low, and the
train was abandoned while the engines
pushed forward for water. Hours on
hours seemed to elapse before 4" Frank "
returned with the cheering intelligence
that he had reached the summit, had
filed the tanks with water and was going
to take the train in fright away quick
But he didn't do it. The treacherous
snow had lready drifted back into every
cut, and the shovel brigade was ordered
out dozen of times before the summit
was attained, and the gray morning light
was breaking when the train started down
the decline. This side Of the divide the
track was com paratiyely clear, and Den
yer was reache about $3.50 in the after
noon.
In some of the deepest cuts the snow
was drifted to. the hight Of the windows
of the car, shutting out the light, and
the task of forming passage taxed the
marrow gauge to its utmost. That the
train came through at all is remarkable,
and reflects great credit on the noble
conductor and his assistants, to all of
whom the passengers desire to return

has appeared to try it on. An etamina-

there is no reason why one comet should
not be made Of carbon in gaseous form,

The journal Of Commerce says,
Americans are now fairly taking the
lead in extending the boundaries OF
astronomical knowledge. The astrono-
mers Of no other nation are making
more important discoveries than those
Of the United States. Professor Young
in exploring the solar constitution, Pro-
fessors Watson and Peters in finding
new asteroids, are fast rebutting the
charge that in America pure science is
wholly neglected for the pursuit OF mere
ly dollar-making work. Besides these,
there ere the names of other distin-
guished American astronomers, who are
disputing precedence with the most emf
nent Of their European fellows, but
these three are indisputably In the fore
most line. Professor Harkness now
adds to the obligations under which he
has often placed the scientific world by
rebortjlg spon the nature Of Enekes
comet. It is, lie says, simply a elond
or glowing gas" The lines Of spec
trum reveal that fact 10 his salts
faction. The fact has always been
guessed. but it is quite another thing
to have il known definitely. Wheth-
er the gas Is hydrogen, OF carbon,
or. more likely, mixture OF these With
other gasses, the cautious observer does
moi now state; but he has secured the
data for forming a correct opinion, aud

it will probably be all explained. This
is the first successful spectroscophic OBJ
seryation taken Of a comet in the Uni
ted States. In Europe only one has
been had-that Of Huggins on Win
necke's comet Of 1868. From the spec
trum Of that comet like Enckes, q
faint body only to be studied through
the telescope), Professor Higgins infer
red that its substance was the yapor or
gas Of carbon. The lines be observed
in /; were different from those disooy-
cred by Professor Harkness in Encke's
comet, signifying, therefore, either q
difference in the cometic materials,
or quite as likely, in the
fneness of ths instruments aud
the skill Of the observers. In the last
three years the spectroscope has been
greatly improved, and the latter observa-
tons would command the most respect.
