An Important Railway Extension.

1t is reported in San Francisco that
an arrangement had been entered into
by which $3.50, 900 are to be expended
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad Company between the present
time and January 1, next, in building
q road eastward from San Diego. Ac-
cording to the same authority, the
embryo metropolis is to be made the
western terminus of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe broad-gauge road.
1t will at first take northeasterly
direction, striking near Cotton, on the
line of the Southern Pacific, but unlike
the last-named road, will not make its way
into Arizona through the San Gorgonio
Pass. The precise point of entrance in
to the Territory is not yet made public,
but is said to be determined upon. Be-
yond the Western boundary line of
Arizona the road will be constructed
on the thiry-fifth parallel, and will con-
meet with the branch from Guaymas,
Mexico, now under course of construc-
ton. A portion of the agreement be-
fore mentioned is that a part of the
Directory of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Company shall organize under
the State laws of California. The
principal mover in this important work
ON the part Of the people Of San Diego
is Frank Kimball, of the National
Rancho, who has given greater
amount Of land for railroad purposes
in San Diego County than any other
person. At San Diego the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Company will have
the use of about 12O acres, donated for
railroad purposes last year. In ad-
tiition, the energetic citizens have
raised $50, 900 for the purchase Ofneces-
sary rights of way.-M Y. Herald.

How the Pyramids Were Built.

The pyramids are the tOmbs of the
early Kings. Perfectly adjusted to the
cardinal points of the horizon, they diff
fer in breadth and height, as is shown
by the measurements of the three old
est, as follows: l. The Pyramid of
Khufa-height, 450.75 feet; breadth,
TAG feet. 2. Pyramid of Khafra-
height, 447.5 feet; breadth, 69O.75 feet.
3. Pyramid of Menkara-heigh 2O3
feet; breadth, 352.78 feet. The con-
struction of these enormous masses has
long been an insoluble mystery. but
later generations have succeeded in
solving the problem.
AS soon as the King mounted the
throne, he gave orders to nobleman,
the master Of all the buildings of his
land, to plan the tomb and cut the
stone. The kernel of the future edi-
fee was raised on the limestone soil of
the desert, in the form of a small pyra-
mid built in steps, of which the we'll
constructed and finished interior formed
the Kings eternal dwelling, with his
stone sarcophagus lying on the rocky
floor. A second covering was added,
stone by stone, on the outside of the
kernel; o third to this second, and to
this even fourth; and the mass of the
giant building grew greater the longer
the King enjoyed existence. And then,
at last, when it became almost impos-
sible to extend the area of the pyramid
further, a casing of hard stone, polished
like glass, and tilted accurately into the
angles of the steps, covered the vast
mass of the sepulcher, presenting
gigantic triangle on each of its four
faces.
More than seventy such pyramids
once rose on the margin of the desert,
each telling of King of whom it was
at once the tomb and monument. Had
not the greater number of these sepul-
cheers of the Pharaohs been destroyed
almost to the foundation, and had the
names of the builders of these which
still stand been accurately preserved, it
would have been easy for the inquirer
to prove and make clear by calculation
what was originally, and of necessity,
the proportion between the masses of
the pyrimids and the years of the reigns
of their respective builders. IN T.

The Giant Rode Free.

One OF the cars of the "Blue Line, )"
running between the City Hall and East

the corner of Essex and Stanton streets
on its down trip yesterday afternoon
and took on man about six feet seven
inches tall, but large enough for an
eight-footer. When the car was near
ing Delaney street the conductor,
himself robust six-foOter, asked the
giant for his fare. A trade-dollar was
offered.
"We don't take trade-dollars; it's
against the rules of the company" said
the conductor, and added, '.Haven't you
got anything else?"
GIVE got dollar bill, but I'm going
to keep it, was the reply.
The conductor rang for the car to
stop.
"You'n have to give me other money
or else get off and take another car, "
he said.
No reply.
'.Will you leave the car? See. you can
20 in any one of those stores and get
your trade dollar changed, and then you
can ride on any carr
The giant grinned.
care you going to get off, sir?" de-
manded the stalwart conductor.
I'm goin' to sit right here" said the
stranger. with another grin.
The conductor walked through to tn e
front platform and asked the driver
what they had better do about it. The
driver, small man, with thin legs,
had taken in the dimensions of the
1<>kl TO snfo
fcre. The conductor passed through
to the rear platform again, and. after
a moments reflection, said to the
driver: ''Let her drop down a little
further" A drive of two blocks
brought the car in front of the Essex
Market Police Court. The conductor
jumped off and hailed q policeman,
who responded promptly. The police
man went up and peered over the
dashboard of the rear platform into the
car. He shook his head and sauntered
away.
"Well, you'll have to get out" ex-
seized hold of shoulder and leg and
lugged with all his might. He might
as well have undertaken to make toy
of an OK.
"Come in herer' he shouted at the
driver. The driver obeyed, but his
legs shook beneath him as he stood be-
fore the obstinate man. Then the
driver tried moral suasion, telling the
troublesome passenger how easy it
would be for him just to step off and
get the trade dollar changed.
"pm goin' to stay right here if it
takes two weeks, and don't you lay a
hand on me, neither" This was the
first thing in the shape of a threat that
had come from the passenger.
The driver had seized a moment when
the conductor was not looking to get
back to the platform. The conductor,
completely nonplussed, gave the bell
strap jerk, signaling the driver to go
ahead, at the same time saying: "rll
lose your fare and report to the compa-
ny. But Ill find out who you are, and
give you some trouble for this"
The giant passenger rode only two
blocks further, which brought him to
Grand Street. There he jumped of
and made long strides for the Williams
