and second experiment yielded the
same result in less than six hours. Cot.
ton soaked in rape oil and put in box
subjected to temperature of about one
hundred and seventy degrees, was found
both box and cotton-in ashes within
ten hours. Cotton waste soaked
in seal oil, with an applied temperature
of one hundred and thirty de-
grees, exhibited ignition in one
hundred minutes. the specific gravity of
his oil was 1913. Lard oil, with specific
gravity Of .9l6, approached combustion
in two hours, the applied temperature be-
ing rs above. These temperatures, as is
we'll known, are such as often occur in
the neighborhood of steam pipe, or un.
der exposure to the suns rays, involving
therefore, imminent liability to ignition
and disaster.
Mention is also made Of some expert
ments conducted with silk instead OF cot
ton, and, although neither fame nor in
csndescence took place, yet the heat en-
gendered was OF sufficient degree to ex-
plode gunpowder, and this temperature
was reached more rapidly in the case OF
silk than of cotton. In view OF these
facts, therefore, the following conclusions
are regarded as clearly established: First,
that oiled waste. whether silk or cotton,
should under all circumstances be looked
upon with suspicion. as liable to sponta-
neous ignition under moderately elevated
temperatures; and, secondly, that silk
waste is at least as dangerous as cotton,
or even more so, in building containing
gunpowder, or other material which is
capable of being ignised or exploded
without the actual application of fame

Railroad Construction.

, The Railroad Gazette, of New York,
presents IN its issue of January Ia very
interesting statement of railroad con-
struction in this country during the year
Just closed. The figures included IN tins
statement show at glance the effect
which the panic and the succeeding years
of business depression have had upon our
railroad interests, and reveal the extent
of the check placed upon the business OF
railroad construction. In the year 1872,
which was the elimination OF the rail-
road building era that followed the war
7,3IO miles of railroad were constructed;
IN 1873, 1883 miles; in 1874, 2,O25 miles,
and in 1875, only ,4s3 miles. In other
words, the railroad construction OF the
past wear amounted to less than one-hfth
Of that of 1873. More than three fourths
of the whole was completed during the
las, six months of the year-a fact which
seems to indicate that the most depressed
condition since the war was in the trst
half of 1875, and that in the last half
there was a slight revival in railroad con-
struction.
Another interesting fact is shown by
the tables which the Gazette publishes,
viz; that a great many roads have been
built, but that most of them are short; an
unusually large proportion of the new
work having been on roads almost exelu-
sively intended TO serve local needs, Thus
the average length of new construction
is bit l7.2 miles for each road as COM
pared with 35 miles in 1872.
As to the prospects for the future the
Gazette observes that there are not many
places where there is great need OF rail-
roads at present, and such construction
as may be under staken during 1876 Will
be chiefly of local roads. Old companies
were never less likely than now to build
branches or extensions without any pres
ent prospect of traffic; while companies
which have no capital or reputation
stand no better chance of being able to
borrow money this year than last: But
as the Gazette sagely concludes, II we do
not build much new railroad this centen-
NAL wear it will be because we do not
need it,

To Women who Paint.

Albert Rhodes, in the Galaxy.
Paint is not confined TO the natural
and maturing beauties who are doubling
the critical capes of the thirties and the
forties, but is reaching the faces of the
younger women. This painting of the
lily is matter of regret, for the American
woman is known in all civilized lands
for the beauty of her complexion, the del
icste nuance of it being recognized in the
term of 'the American tint" To move
away from the artistic side and look on
the moral one, it appears still worse. Ten
to fifteen years ago the calling of wo-
man who wore painted visage was un-
doubted; 1t was, TO certain extent the
sign of her commerce, and there are yet
oid-fashioned people who judge painted
face with the eyes Of the past. The mo-
tive which leads her to this lavish use Of
color is, of course, that she may become
beautiful; and if she really did become SO
no objection might be made, at least from
an artistic point of view. But her mis-
take is radical-she does not become 60.
Viewed as an object of art, she is unlove-
ly to look upsn-utterly unkissable. and
the osculatory test is supreme. 1t is
more or less matter Of indifference to
man that the ugly woman should be CIV
en- over such q practice, for she may not
be saved in an athletic sense; but when
the young woman, endowed by nature
with pure skin, resorts to it, he is NOV
ed to commiseration and regret. He is
wounded in his national pride, tor Euro

thing unattainable to her sisters across
the sea- The roses are too red on the
British cheeks, or the fibre is too rough;
there is lack of clearness in the French
skin, and that OF the Italian is too sallow.

NJ. Louis Whisky Cases.

ST. LOUIS, May 4.-Mnj. Eaton, spe-
cial counsel for the government, made
some remarks TO the court in which he
stated that most Of the distillcrs and
rectifers who had been Indicted here
came into court last November and vol
UNFAIRLY pleaded guilty, eilecting what
may be regarded rs a break in the enc
mics line. These pleas Of guilty were
made without any promise OF special
linicncy on the part Of the government,
bnt these parties had been ot great ser.
vice to the government as witnesses, and
had enabled il 10 achieyG victory over n
gigantic,conspiracyto defraud therevcnue,
and bring to Justice the higher and more
guilty parties, and in his view they should
receive the reasonable consideration OF
the Court in the. final disposition OF their
cases. He seierred particularly to those
who first broke the line by their volunta-
~ action. Those who plead guilty later,
did so under compulsion, and in his opin.
ion did not deserve clemency.
District Attorney Dyer also made a
few remarks OF the same general tenor,
and said that when the proper hmecomes
he will have tho manliness and courage
to urge that these men be given the ben
eIits which their assistance in accomplish
ing the ends OF justice entitlesthem.
II was then arranged that the,seyeral
cases pending In the Circuit Court should
be RENTED to the District Court and all
disposed Of ut the same time.
