The constant increase in the extent OF the
transatlantic meat trade has given an impetus
u the invention OF means OF preserving the
neat in good condition during its long voyage
The result has been the devising of a variety OF
refrigeratOrs, each thought by its inventors to
be best adopted for the purpose. The latest
invention of this kind is mechanical refrigera-
tor patented by two Seotchmen. which is in

now in general use. Air is forced into suitable
receSseS OF the refrigerator until pressure Is
Indicated Of about thirty-eight pounds to the
square inch. 1t is then cooled by circulating
cold water around the pipes or receptacleS.
When the air escapes. its expansion causes a
1all OF temperature below the freezing point.
Ice is formed on the sides OF the chamber or
compartment in which the meat is stored:
50 that really this refrigerator is combined with
an ice-machine operated by steam power. II is
said that meat has been kept fresh in this
receptacle for a month. Another invention of
the day IS one tending TO increase the comfort
OF travellers by rail. II is almost unnecessary
tn say that this invention differs from the pre-
Ceding in being an American device Great
Britain whose travellers have Just arrived at
the luxury of the privilege OF purchasing ice
water at railway stations from little boys pro-
yided with buckets and glasses can hardly be
expected TO invent anything new for the benefit
OF travellers IL will be time enough for that
when the comforts already enjoyed on this side
of the water have been adopted. The invention
TO which reference has been made Is a subst-
fute for the ordinary lamps of railway cars 10y
which travellers are relieved from the smell and
smoke of the lamps, and from the peril of fire liz
case OF IN accident. The whole lighting appa-
ratus, with the exception of refectorS, is out

r;Ra NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In

A traveller gives the following graphic
picture of Afghan life: Two men
quarrelled and one was wounded. He
refused to have his arm amputated,
gangrene set in and he died. His
brother as NEXT Of kin Gsimsaa thesr
thus describes the final scene: "About
noon there was great crowd and a
tumult of voices outside the citadel gate,
but as we knew what was to take place
We did not 90 out to see the ceremony.
Presently the din was hushed, there
was d momentary pause Of complete
silence. and then sudden outburst OF
applause. We hardly needed to be told
what had happened, but soon after
Faramuz Khan came in, in perfect
ecstasies of delight at the brutal sight
he had just witnessed and applauded,
He told US that after the Judge had
pronounced the prisoner guilty, he con,
signed him to the care of the avenger
who at once stepped forward; and, I'M
sheathing his knife, threw down hi
brothers homicide, kneeling on hi

Some forty or fifty years ago Vene-
tian squadron, commanded by Emo, a
Captain Of reputation, anchored in a
little bay near the village of Calouri, in
Corfu, one of the most secluded spots
in the world, inhabited by race of
most primitive people. whose only pro-
duee was pitch, which they obtained of
very excellent quality from the pines that
covered their soil. Emo had heard ofthis
famous pitch, and sent by a special mes
sepger letter conceived in the usual
magniloquent style Of Venetian official
documents, requiring and entreating
"the Syndicks, Primates or Governors,
as they might style themselves, Of the
loyal village of Calouri, as faithful and
industrious friends aud allies. in the
name Of the most illustrious Republick,
to consign to bis trusty messenger
twelve barrels of. the said commodity
called pitch, in lieu whereof he, in the
name Of. the Republic, promised,
agreed and offered to give any remun-
Grafton that might be required, pros
vided always, that the same should be
within the bounds of moderation. And
praying that all prosperity, etc., ETC."
Tho old men Of the village, who had
never heard ofEmo or Of Venice, as-
sembled under the trees, where debates
were always held; they turned the Lett
ter over and over, wondering why Emo
or any other mortalEsbould send such
string of compliments to- handful cf
poor peasants, and at last Ito come to
the last end Of the story an answer
was written and sent, in these words:
"We, Of Calouri, to Emo, the Admiral;
send US your money, and you shall have
our pitch"
