FossmIzED FRUT.-Some very curl
Gus specimens of fossilized tropical
fruit have been shown in San Francisco.
They are in possession of a gentleman
recently from a diamond region. They
consist of a fine mangel and a luscious
looking peach, of the natural size, and
an almond, with the kernel plainly dis
cernible, and reta imng almost its origi
nal color. These rare specimens were
picked up on the Fossil Range near
White Pine, by Capt. Gorley, while in
search for minerals of more valua-
bic nature. Their growth is peculiar
to more tropical climate than the
snow-covered zone where they were dis
covered-4000 feet above the level of
the sea. An acorn, half-burst, as it fell
from the tree, with the butter-cup OF
cap adhering, is also among the collec-
ton. How and when they got there,
or whether they grew there, are nuts
for the nnturalists to crack.

BEWARE OF GREEN WALI-P APEIss.-A
physician in Western Massachusetts
recently had lady patient who, for
several weeks, had been suffering from
nausea, general prostration and other
symptoms of slow poisoning. Failing
to discover the cause of the symptoms,
says the Hartford Coarant, as a last re-
sort, the doctor requested her to move
from her chamber, the walls of which
were covered with paper of very light
shade of green, so light indeed, that in
the evening, it could scarcely be dis
tinguished from white. After leaving
the room the symptoms Immediately
disappeared, and the patient rapidly
recovered. A sample of the paper was
forwarded for analysis to the State
Chemist at Hartford CMr Joseph Hall.
of the High School, and was found to
contain large quantity of arsenic. Mr..
Hall obtained the poison in the various
forms of metallic arsenic, yellow ter
sulphite, silver arsenite and arsenious
acid or common white arsenic. He
estimates that every square foot of this
innocent-looking paper contained an
amount of the poison equivalent to five
grains of arsenious acid, or double the
fatal dose for an adult person This, in
the moist, warm weather of last July
and August, was amply sufficient to keep
the air of room constantly impreg-
mated with the poison, and any person
occupying such room would be as
certainly poisoned as though the arsenic
ha7 been taken into the stomach.

MEXICAN RAILROADS.

Two plans for railroad extension are
now before the Mexican Congress.
These enterprises are backed by Ameri-
cans.
One route passes from the City of
Mexico to Lagos, about half way be-
tween the capital and the Pacific ocean.
One branch OF it proceeds directly to
the Pacific westward, and another
northward to the Rio Grande, ON the
frontier of the United States, where it
is to meet another railway coming from
the north.
This road is one of the most gigantic
public works ever planned in Mexico.
1t is proposed to run narrow gauge
railroad from the capital to the Pacific.
Gen. Rosecrans, who is at the head of
this enterprise, asks for credit Of the
thousand dollars for every kilometre of
the main track, and five hundred for
every klometre of the branches.
The railway from Mexico to Vera
Cruz is to be finished in 1876.
Two hundred kilometers of branch
railways are to be made, leading to
various cities. After the completion Of
the main track, two hundred kilometers
of these branches are to be constructed
yearly.
One of the roads Is to be on the
broad guage principle, and the work
commenced nine months after the ter
mination of the track now almost fin
ished from the capital to Vera Cruz.
The extent of these lines is fixed at
/ 2275 kilometres.
