An Unstable Railway.

A California railway engineer had a
narrow escape from bottomless pit, a
fortnight ago. He had charge of 8 con-
struction train and was hauling gravel.
A short distance beyond Benioia, and
beyond Government Point, is piece of
tule land. Thousands and thousands of
yards of dirt were thrown upon it when
the road was built, and yet in short
time, even during the night, out of sight
the whole would 60. At last the road
was ballasted, and the track was laid,
and the railroad authorities were smiling
at the thought Of having their road in
good working order by the LIST of Septen-
Der. The engineer noticed that the
earth had depressed appearance, but he
was so far advanced that it was I'M
possible to stop, and having on power
full head of steam, he opened the valve
and went rushing over the dangerous
place, and at the same time felt the
ground settling under the train. In 8
moment they were over the morass, and
upon checking the engine the men on
the train looked back, and for distance
of 800 feet they saw the ground, the
ties and the track in one vast body sink
down into the bottomless pit distance
of so feet.

Chinese Proverbs.

Many of the Chinese proverbs have
their counterpartsin English; the differ
ence Of expression, however, being in
many cases characteristic. Thus:
"Throw a sprat to catch a vhale," is
rendered, "Thrcw brick to allure 8
gen." "Not to cry sinking fish," is
rendered in Chinese: "The melon seller
declares his melons sweet" "Take care
Of the pence, and the pounds will take
care of themselves" becomes "Count
cash as though they were gold, "-cash
being a coin of the smallest denonina-
ton. Again, GA rolling stone gathers
no MOSS" is translated, "The swallow
plastering it's nest is labor lost "-this
being a very happy allusion to the mi
gratory habits of that bird. "Preparing
is preventing" an old English express
sion, has its counterpart in, "Get the
coffin ready and the man won't die;
while "Too many cooks will spoil the
broth" is rendered by the curious ex-
preston, Seven hands and eight feet"
" There is black sheep in every flock
becomes, "Crows are black ali the world
over" And the oft quoted saying of
" Robbing Peter to pay Paul." assumes
the form, "To pull down the western
wall to repair the eastern" Speaking Of
the scarcity of good men, the Chinese
say: "There are two good men; one Of
them is dead, the other unborn. "-Chama-
ber's .I0urn0I

About Oatmeal.

It is more than piper's news to say
that oatmeal porridge is a highly esteem
ed dish in the I" land O cakes" and a
long summers day might he spent by "
brawny Scot in singing its praises. But
passing from considerations of a senti-
mental nature, English readers will be
glad to hear the testimony of witness
at once so unprejudiced and SO eminent
as Liebig, who has demonstrated chemi-
cally that oatmeal is nearly as nutritious
as the very best English beef, and that in
bone and muscle forming qualities it is
richer than wheaton bread. Some TWEEN
ty years ago a professor at one O. the
Scottish universities measured the
breadth and height, and tested the
strength of the arms and legs of his stu
dents, numerous class of all nationali-
ties, who were attracted to the seat of
learning by the fame of the professor.
He found that in height, and breadth of
chest and shoulders, and in strength of
arms and legs, Belgians stood lowest;
little above them French; very much
higher English; but Scottish and Scot
fish Irish Ulster were highest of all.
These last students were fed in their
early years, with st least one meal day
of good oatmeal porridge.

The Canadian government is employ
ing considerable number of transcribers
to copy what are known as the Haldi-
mand papers, over two hundred volumes
of which were acquired by the manu-
script department of the British museum
in 1857. These papers are among the
most important contributions to the
early history of the dominion, being the
literary remains of Lieutenant General
Sir Frederick Haldimand, K. B., a gov
ernor for many years previous to 1870 of
the province of Canada.

HE national board Of health favors
an international sanitary convention.
1t is now in correspondence with other
nations on the subject. The interests of
all countries demand this convention,
and particularly since the formation of
the national board of health. Its rules
and regulations require United States
consuls to furnish bills of health to all
vessels bound for ports in the United
States regardless of the flag under which
the vessels sail, and this rule is breach
OF international courtesy. The question
is now embarrassing the United States
consuls at several ports, and the sooner
an arrangement is made with other coun-
tries the better for this one if the
national board of health is to sustain the
position it has taken in this matter.

IT is humiliating confession to make
but geography is pitiless and our
national vain-glory must bow to degrees
that for four hours in twenty-four the
entire territory of the United States is
deprived of sunshine. The Scientific

on our fsrthest Aleutian island its morn
ing rays are just lighting up the hill
tops of the western coast of Ireland, and
the whole breadth of the Atlantic lies

How Treasure is Carried and Guarded
in the Black Hills.

The route between the Union Pacific
railroad and the Black Hills has always
been more or less infested with " road
agents" or highway robbers ever since it
was opened. Frequently, when the
coach has been we'll loaded, the sleepy
passengers have been startled in some
dark and lonely place by having the
muzzle of a gun thrust into the window
of the coach, and being ordered, with an
oath, to hold up their hands. Then one
or two masked men have " gone through"
the passengers, relieving them of their
watches and money. The last robbery
of this kind occurred about month ago,
and soon after a man known as Lame
Johnny, suspected Of having been one of
the "road agents." and known to be a
horse thief, was arrested. As he was
being taken to Rapid City to be lodged
in Jail, he was taken from the coach, and
from the custody Of the sheriff, and
hanged to tree by the roadside. All
the bullion produced in the hills is also
taken to Sidney by stage coach, but no
passengers are taken at the same time
A coach is prepared for the purpose by
lining it with sheet iron to make it bull
let proof. The box containing the bull
lion is placed on the floor of the coach,
and the whole is given in charge of six
messengers, who are the bravest and
most daring men to be found in the
west. Four of these men, armed with
carbines, which are never out of their
hands, and with a whole arsenal of navy
revolvers within reach, sit in the coach
and keep guard over the treasure, while
the fifth rides in front and the sixth
behind the coach, On horseback. No
coach with full complement Of mes
sengers has ever been attacked, but about
a year ago, when only about 1926, 900,
was being sent out in charge of three
messengers, the road agents secured the
stock keeper at one of the stations, and,
firing into the stage as it came up, killed
two of the messengers and wounded the
other. the wounded man shot one of the
robbers SO that he died soon after, but
the road agents got away with the bull
lion. An alarm was given as soon as
possible, and the agents were pursued
and one or two of them captured. All
but about Sc, 900 of the bullion was re-
covered. A hundred men would fare
hard if they were to attack the treasure
coach with it's present outfit, and doubt
if they could capture it.--Black Hills

A CONGREGATIONAL church in rural
Ohio neighborhood gets along very well
without pastor. A young man, pos
sessed of fine elocutionary skill, reads a
report of some eminent clergyman's SER
mons every Sunday, and the rest of the
pastoral work is done by deacons. The
same plan has been adopted in several
other western places, but not with SO
much success, for the Ohio reader has
the ability to deliver the borrowed ser
mons with all the fervor of an original
effort.

no set off to bad results in the southwest,

IT is now proposed to make railroad
ties of glass. So with car wheels of pa
per and ties of glass, we may soon expect
rails of putty or some such substance.
Soon after De la Bastie introduced his
method of toughening glass, Mr.. +. Sic
mems, of Dresden, commenced a series
of researches, which have eliminated at
present in the production of very hard
glass, which, unlike the material pro-
duced by the De la Bastie method, does
not fly into million of fragments when
broken. The sleepers, which sre being
tested on the North Metropolitan line at
Stratford, are three feet long and four
inches wide, by six inches deep, the
upper side being shaped to fit the rails.
The glass s9eepers are not SO strong as
those cut from sound pine, but they are
practically indestructible, and, what is
more. are cheap.
