Singular story Of H-earnEng
and Poverty.

A Leipsic paper publishes q story
which, pervaded by an element of ro-
nance, Is undoubtedly true, and Illus
trates The poverty in which the deVot-
ees OF learning In Germany are often
compelled TO live. About ten months
ago, q rich patron of the sciences and
arts in Berlin offered prizes amounting
to about $40 each, for the best essays
on the history of the middle ages, as
tronomy, geology, poetry, and meta
physics; aud about 1896 each for the
best romance and the best poem. A
COMMITTEES of members of the several
university faculties was appointed to
award the prizes, and the awards were
made some time ago. A large number
Of persons competed, ard the work Of
fered had large amount of excellent
material among it. The names OF the
writer's were inclosed In sealed envel-
opes, on the outside OF which fictitious
names were inscribed.
The prize for the essay on metRphys-
les was awarded 70 q young man
named Max -Markmann, who had

The magnificent run OF four hun
dred and forty-fOur miles between
Pittsburg and New York is mad,
with but three stoppages,-the first
of only i've minutes, at Altoona, af
ter stretch of one hundred anC
seventeen miles; the second, o.
twenty minutes for dinner
at Harrisburg, after an unbrokeI
dash of one hundred and thirty-two
miles, aud the third and last, of on,

ter run of ono hundred and five
miles, leaving single stretch oil
ninety miles across New Jersey to
I'destination. No time being lost in
stopping, the wonderful locomotive.
engines work away with the regu-
larity of fixed machinery, taking
their supply of water from the track.
tanks 80 they go, and carrying their
fuel with them; and the time is
made by uniformity of progress
more than by an increased rate of
speed. The train is made up of
Pullman parlor cars and the best of
the company's day coaches, all splen-
didly upholstered, mounted on COM
bination springs, and furnished with
plate-glass windows, through which
the landscape can be distinctly seen.
And here comes IN the great
charm of this daylight ride through
Pennsylvania, for the train leaves
Pittsburg at q quarter before eight
in the morning and reaches Phila-
delphia at quarter before seven in
the evening. 1t is no new thing to
say that the scenery on the line of
the Pennsylvania road is beautiful,
and, in many places, grand. Every
American who travels or reads has
seen or heard of 1t, and the pencils
of many artists have labored 10y
ingly to portray, for popular graft
fication, the attractions of the Allie
gheny mountains; the Juniata, Sns-
quehanna, and Conemaugh rivers,
and the wonderful agricultural wales
of Lancaster and Chester counties,
through which this road runs. Long
sweeps of wooded hills lofty noun
tains and dark ravines; picturesque
valleys opening into each other /;
sparkling and placid waters; wide,
rolling, pastor landscapes, follow in
rapid succession. A clanY of the
bell, sinking away in the rush of
the train, signals town after town
and village after village. The dusty
turnpike, the dreamy canal, and the
shaded by-roads are crossed and
passed in a flash. On, on, on, goes
this tireless train, over a clear track
carrying the traveller by panorama,
the like of which can be found no.
where else on this continent, end
probably not in the world. After
having breakfaste ed IN the Missis-
sippi valley and dine6 at the capital
of Pennsylvania, the passenger finds
himself seated &c supper in the me.
tropolis of New York, where the
Atlantic throbs and swells in its
ceaseless activity.
A few years ago the man who
should haye predicted such a ride
would have been pronounced utter
ly and hop .lessly insane. Not even
the most sanguine enthusiast on
railroads, when their construction
was commenced, dreamed of over
coming distance at such a rate and
it is only because of the perfection
of machinery and the Inventions of
science that it can be done now.
But it is a fact accompli shed-a re-
Atty of the day, and all that is left
for the people is 10 wonder and en-
