Snow on the Sierras.

People familiar with the snow storms
OF the East can form but poor idea
of the terrible storms that sometimes
rage in our Sierras. There the snow
falls at times to the depth of twenty
feet, and piles up in the canyons fire.
quently to the depth of hundred feet
or more. 1t is with such obstacles as
these that the Central Pacific Railroad
Company has occasionally to contend.
Not long since fearful storm ragged in
these mountains, lasting whole week.
The manner in which it was overcome
is thus described by one of the editors
of the Oakland (Cal.) Transcript of
Feb. 7th who was an eye witness.
The snow had fallen in great sheets
to depth of about eighteen feet, and
had drifted in vast piles upon the
track, banking up the highway and
commerce between the extreme East
and the far West. The Storm King
was abroad upon the Alpine heights, IN
all his sublimest majesty; the iron
horse with his heavy burden stood at
the foot of the winding slope, baff1ed
and painting in dismay; and between
the people of the East and West the
Sierra Nevada had reared his majestic
front of snowy ramparts in all his WIN
try grandeur.
The mighty problem was to break
through and overcome these terrific
barriers, that rose more than seven
thousand feet above the level OF the
sea; and to that end, the most awful
forces of steam were created and COM
bined. At the village Of Rocklin, on
this side, the one Eastward locomotive
was joined by two others, and the three
monsters, with hearts of fire and breath

THE STRENGTH OF MATERIALS.

Gold may be hammered so that it is
only 1850, 1000 or an inch thick. A
grain of iron may be divided into 4,
600, 900 parts. Still chemistry tells us
that there are ultimate parts called at
oms or molecules, which are absolutely
invisible. T hese atoms are attracted
to each other by the attraction of CO.
hesion and repelled by the force of re-
pulsion. By the action of both these
forces the atoms are kept in a state of
rest. The solidity of a solid depends
upon the fact that each pair of atoms
are in this state of equilibrium. These
atoms are supposed to be of an oblate,
spheroidal form. An iron bar would
support its own weight if stretched out
to length of 1-2 miles. A bar of
steel was once made which would sus-
tain its own weight if extended to a
length of 13 1-2 miles
Our ideas of great and small are no
guide to be used in Judging of what is
truly great and small in nature. The
Bunker Hill Monument might be built
to over a mile in height without crush
ing the stones at its base. When bars
of iron are stretched until they break,
those which are the strongest increase
in length less than the weaker ones. A
piece of wood having a breadth and
thickness of three inches and length
of four feet. if supported at its ends,
would be bent one-millionth of an inch
by weight of three pounds placed at
its centre, and weight of one-tenth of
an ounce would bend it one-seven-mil-
lionth of an inch. Prof. Norton de-
scribed a machine for testing the varia-
ton of sticks of wood. The machine
consists of levers and screws so con-
trived that the amount Of weight
brought to bear upon the stick can be
accurately measured and the variation
of the stick from straight line can be
measured even though it do not exceed
one-seyen-millionth of an inch.
The recognized value of photography
in furnishing representations of objects
of scientific interest, free from subject
i've defects, has led DR.. Stein to devise
an arrangement for dispencing with a
dark room, and reducing the time re-
quired for taking pictures. His appa
ratus, as exhibited at the Vienna Ex-
position, consists essentially in an inn
proved plate-holder, in which the col
lodionized plate is sensitized. exposed,
and developed, without removal from
it, by successive admission of the usual
solutions, through separate tunnels, the
progress being noted through yellow
glass apertures. and the apparatus
cleansed, after each impression, by a
stream of water passed through it. In
addition to specimens in natural history
and subjects met with in medicine and
surgery, it is adapted, by use of the
highly actinic magnesium light, to copy
the views of interior portions of the

of boiling vapor, dragged the train
along up the increasing slope. AT
Colfa1, the three were recruited by
two more of equal magnitude, and the
five toiled on up the snowy heights,
At Blue Canon the FIVE mighty travel
ers were brought to stand-stiIl by the
forces of the hostile Winter King, and
in their extremity seven other enormous
engines, of ffty-fve tons esch, came
to their assistance and relief, and
twelve black monsters, red-hot with
exertion and inspired with boiling
wrath, united their tremendous strength
and tore through the blocked-up gorge
for more than ten miles.
Once more the twelve mighty and
resolute travellers were brought-to by
huge mountain of snow. They dash
ed at it with all their might and a
speed of thirty miles an hour, but the
rampant was immovable they were
flung back in contempt and disdain, and
the Storm-King laughed in triumph
and derision from distant pinnacle of
rock. Here a poor weak mortal, but
endowed with immortal Mind, having
been spectator of the awful contest,
came and hitched on the train of heavy
cars, giving their next onset greater
momentum. Then the tremendous
twelve, together with their additional
force, moved back a distance of mile,
and stood still gathering up their
strength for more prodigious onset,
and from each kissing valve the Song
of Steam was heard issuing in all its
fierce significance:
Harness me down with your iron bandsl
Be sure of your curb and rein;
For | scOrn the might of your puny hands
As the tempest scorns the chain"
At length all is ready. Each valve
is quiyering with the throbs of the
prisoned giant within; each furnace
glows with its deepest intensity. The
huge engine in the lead gives a quick,
sharp call. Forward !" 1t is quick
ly answered by the next in distant
tone; and so the word is passed along
Ine line, II ONWARD ALL TOGETHER
The wheels creak and turn at first
slowly, then with increasing swiftness
and the whole immense battery of
more than 600 tons plunges into the
drifts at the velocity Of forty miles an
hour The rampant yields little ;
the besiegers back away, regather their
forces and charge again the sheets of
snow flying high in the air, like sea-
foam at the base of an Interchangeable
rock. And so, all night long, for more
than ten hours, the battle ragged on the
heights, the winds moaning and roar
ing among the sombre frs, the driving
snow-sheets enveloping the surrounding
cliffs. At last the blocked-up pass was
broken through, and the conquest of
science and invention was complete.

ID. It uses much less soap than is required by
any other method.
Sd. 1t requires no attention whatever while

Henry Ward Beecher, it is said,

he speaks entirely extemporaueously,
and those unprecedented efforts are
sometimes thought his best.

What spur to effort is the con-
fding love of true-hearted woman !!
That last fond look of hers, hopeful,
and encouraging, has more power with
in it to nerve your soul to high deeds,

large hope, quickens the flow upon the

greatness. But alas, this is great
