A Cheap Portable Railroad,

There Is now bein. constructed At the works
OF wagon builder at lvry, near Paris, kind
of portable railway, intended for the conveyance
OF material in sugar factory, the lightness,
simplicity, and low price Of which render il a
model example OF portable railways. The usy
consist OF q series of trestles about seventeen
span. These are placed on the ground without
levehng IL in any manner, and the spans are
coupled together at their ends by Q PIN passing
through An iron box at each end of every tres
tie. A nat iron bolted to the upper part of the
horizontal bars Of the trestles form the rails.
Each span or seventeen feet weighs only about
forty-nve pounds, so that they are easy to take
up and lay Gown. By them atemporary iron
road can be rapidly established, which follows
the natural contour of the ground over which it
passes. The cars, intended to carry each from
one hundred to two hundred and twenty pou nds
form series of rolling platforms. They are ar.
ticu!ated one to the other, and carry baskets on
each side, In which the material to be moved is
deposited. They are attached to the pistfor ms
each by four iron brackets. BY this there is OBJ
tanned for about fifty cents . yard An iron road
on which horse can haul on level about ten
tons.

One of the lost arts, which skill AMI SCI nce
have for hundreds OF years been making efforts
to re-discover, is the production OF MALE able
glass. 1t was mentioned by many ancient wTi-
ters especially by Pliny, who speaks OF its being

A Boston correspondent of the ST. Louis
Globe, writing Dc 18Th, gives some account Of
Stanley "wbo discovered Livingstone" describes
his failure as a lecturer, and speaks Of the press
dinner TO Stanley as an illustration OF Boston
politeness. Tue letter then narfates another
case OF Boston politeness," in connection with
Stanley, which is of more questionable char.
acter. This story is told as follows:
ut aopears that while in London Mr.. Stanley
met the Baroness Burdeii-COuts, who asked him
as personal favor 10 carry a small parcel to a
Boston merchant,Io whom she had given Mr.. s.
letter OF Introduction, making tue remark at The
time, You'll fnd one good friend in Boston,"
to which request Mr.. S., OF course politely ac-
ceded Ga his arrival here, MIR. Stanley
sent the parcel together with the lei.
ter TO the merchants house, on Beacon
street. The next day M. Stanley called,
gave his card 10 the servant, who took II
up TO the mcTchant, who cbanced TO be at home.
Tue merchant looked at the card, gave his SER
Vant his message, aud he, returning 10 the par
lor, SAID TO Mr. Stanley: "Mr. Blank says rs
all right and hes very much Obliged TO you"
Nj. Stanley paused moment, utterly amazed,
and then, taking bis hat, left tue house. Com.
ment Is needless as to the true character ol one
who would be guilty Of such an act"
II this is true, there eau be no doubt of the
character and human value Of this "Mr.
Blank." He Is contemplate snob. too mean
TO be capable Of cIyility. But why not give his
name IN iull' Why make all Boston responsible
for this lll-bred fellows conduct? 1t may be,
however, that this letter writer does not tell the
whole truth

ARE MEN TO LY?-Ddrwin tells us that even
in tue upper regions of the air, near the sum-
mis- OF the Andes, vutures may be seen float
ing onward for miles upon moioneSs wings.
Wlat is the secret Of this dotaton? Gravlta-
ton acts as forcibly on the substance Of the
bird as on that of the animal. Nor can we
believe that there is any buoyancy, properly SO
called, in the birds body or wings.
Those vutures which seemed TO float steadily
through sIlll air must have received support
from the air In one or more Of three several
ways. Either by swift molion acquired before
the floating began and slowly reduced through
the effects OF @flal resistance or by the action
oi @rlal currents through which they were car
rled, or else, while seeming TO q Jat hor-
zoniallv, they were in reality traverslug
slightly sloped descending path. Meth.
er OF the two former explanations
seems available, because the floating motion is
continued 50 long as the frictional resistance of
the air would almost certainly have DESTROYED
large share OF the original motion. This would
happen equally whether the bird had in the frst
place urged its way swiftly through the AIR, or
bad hoated itsel of, so to speak, upon a swiftly
moving air current On the other hand, there
would seem TO be no valid objection against The
third explanation Tor single observer, at rest.
would have no means Tor determining Whether
bird was sailing along horizontally, or gliding
down a eeutle incline. But il matters Iittle
which explanation of the three we accept as The
most plausible. fhe point TO be chiefly noticed
is the TACT that q heavy body can be sustained
for long distances, merely by the supporting ac.
ton of tue air.
= There can be little doubt that II Is only on ac.
Soi,..t- 81 The perfect steadiness OF their motion
through ise air that they are thus supported
