wonderful Fertility of Peruvian Soil.

In speaking of the wonderful fertili-
ty of the soil in Peru, I have never

that some botanist or savant can give
me the name and species. The natives
take asimple pale green leaf, something
like fern, and pin it to the wall with a
common pin stuck through it-just pin

times they fasten it up with tack.
The leaf itself is not so large as o
oeranium-leaf. Incredible as it may
seem, from this leaf viii spread out tiny

give its assent. Before any building

Railway Accidents in England and
s-ssf America. .f1=ce,s

The recklessness of American railway
officials was once proyerbial, If 1T not
now but English railroads are bearing
off the palm IN the number of accidents
and in the number of lives destroyed.
The list of casualties by rail in that;
country recently has been frightful, and
the people of England have become
alarmed to such an extent that per-
feet panic exists among railway travel
ers. and threatens to bankrupt the rail-
road companies, AS many as eight ac-
cidents in one day were recently an
nounced by cable dispatch, and
scarcely day passes that one or more

return is the first which has been pre-

ways act. 1871. The total number OF
persons killed during the year, accord
ing to this return, was LAB, md 3,O3S
were injured. The total number OF pas
sengers killed was 127-24 from causes
beyond their own control, and 103 from
their own misconduct or want of caution.
The total number of passengers injured
was 1,462, of whom PAT received their
injuries from causes beyond their own
control. and 215 from their own miscon-
duct OF want of caution. The number
of railway servants returned as killed
under the former head is GA, and under
the latter 56S the injured in these two
classes are 376 and 1,019 respectively.
Seventy persons were killed and 53 IN
iured while passing over railways at
level crossings. Under the head of tres
passers and suicides, 258 are reported
as killed and lot injured !; and miscel-
laneous, not included in any OF the pre-
ceding classes, 1856 killed and 181 In
| jured. A list is also given of the num-
ber of accidents unattended with loss OF
life or personal injury. It extends over
thirty-two pages of the blue-book, but
no summary is appended. 1t appears
| from one of the tables in the book that
the total number of passengers killed
on railways from causes beyond their
| own control from 1852 TO 1872 was 271.
In an introductory note it was stated
that these returns are made by the COM
panies themselves, and the great dis
crepancies between the number of accl-
dents returned by the various companies
leads to doubt whether they all make
! the return with equal care and complete
ness. -
