The plan Of Captain Eads for the oon-
~.,ruc,ion OF a ship railway across the
I.,bmus is better appreciated In the
Mississippi section where his engineer.
inc skill and capabilities are known than
anywhere else. His proposition to trans
mort the largest sized ocean ships across
the Is.hmus from ocean to ocean by
means Of . railway and cars Of sufficient
dimensions and strength. rather staSssrs
the comprehension and confidence Of
even the most ersdulous scientists and
engineers. or anybody else who can sp.
preciate the difficulties OF oven ordinary
~railroading through mountainous
tries. Captain Eads. however. explains
that several eligible passes in that Sec
ton Of the Cordilleras have been sur
veysd, over which grades Of only q
200. in q hundred are entirely practica-
bic. This makes his plan Seem q little
more feasible and comparatively Invested
OF natural difficulties.
The New York Tribune. commenting
upon this proposition. says: Such q
grade would need to be extended only
5000 feet from the shore line Of q harbor
down into the water to put the end Of
the railway thirty feet deep. and enable
the larssst ships to float over and on .
car. or cradle. designed to support them
during their transit. This car. or era
die. would itself bo supported on about
1000 wheels Of two feet diameter. rest
ing on twelve rails laid on . solid road
bed. about Atty feet wide. A loaded
ship and car. weighing together about
10000 tons. would impose Q pressure oil
but Avs tons on each wheel. This
would bs less than the pressure put
upon the rails Of ordinary railroads by
the wheels Of their locomotives. Six or
seven Ions to the wheel Is the ordinary
weight imposed by the four driving.
wheels when at rest. and this Is largely
increased by the irregularities in the
road when these wheels are moving ut
high vslocities. The weight Of the car
and ship would DO distributed over
about $4,000 square feet Of road.bed.
thus giving q pressure on the earth OF
less than ons.half 9 ton per square foot.
&. This would DO only equal to the pres
sure per square foot Of q stone wall six
feet high. II ships can be transported
by Q railway across the Isshmus within
the next four or Ave years, 1t will b
probably ten years sooner than q canal
can bs made ready. and ii will cost moi
more than ons-third the money.

How CelluIold ls Made.

DR.. ". II. wahl tells In the Journal of
Industry what ~celluloid 10 and how 1t 10
made. Briefly defined. ~celluloid. he
says. is a species Of solidiHsd collodion.
produced by dissolving %gun.ootton (py.
royylin) 10 camphor with the aid OF heat
and pressure. The gun. cotton is ground
in water to q ano pulp In Q machine
similar to that used in grinding paper
pulp. Tho pulp Is then subjected to
powerful pressure In q perforated vessel
to extract the bulk OF the moisture, but
still leaving It slightly moist for the next
operation. This consists In thoroughly
incorporating finely comminuted gum
camphor with the moist gun.cotton pulp.
The proportions employed are said TO be
ono part by weight Of camphor to two
parts by weight OF the pulp. With
this mixture any coloring matters
required can now DO incorporated. The
next step Is to subject the mass TO pow
srful pressure in order to eIpel from 1t
the remaining traces Of moisture and
incidentally to effect also the moro init.
mate contact OF the camphor with the
pulp. The dried and compressed q

top, into which fits . solid plupgsr. A
heavy hydraulic pressure Is brought to
bear upon the plungsr, and ct the same
time the mixture Is heated, by means OF
o steam jacket surrounding tho vessel.
to q temperature Of about 800 degrees
Fahrenheit. When the mass Ii taken
out OF the press It hardsns aud acquires
he extraordinary toughness and elastic.
ity which ars the distinguishing charao-
teristics OF this remarkable product.
Celluloid is very largely used as Q sub.
stitute for ivory. which Is initiated with
great success. Tortoise shell, malachite.
mother. oi.pearl. coral and other costly
and elegant materials are also 30 sue

hardly detect the original from the copy.
Cslluloid is also used as Q substitute for
porcelain Ia the manufacture Of dolls,
which will stand . great deal OF rough
usage without breaking. Quito recently,
too, ii has been combined with linen
and used for shirt bosoms, cuffs and
collars.

Charles. During three years, being
proficient in German as well as French
the quondam barber followed his new
profession and lived single life. Then
he once more thirsted for rovelty, and
found it this time by changing his
name to H. c. d'Arpet Fouger, and
marrying young lady who bore the
somewhat suspiciously romantic name
of Miss Jessica M. de St. CroiX. With
Miss de st. Croix this eccentric being
procured dowry of five thousand dol
lars, and he continued his career of di-
versified adventure by abandoning his
new bride three months after their
wedding, and proceeding with her
dowry to New York.
| Having arrived in this gullible me-
ridian our much-married and many-ti-
tied hero bourgeoned forth into full
blown noble. He became nothing less
than ''Hector Carlos, Baron de Main
cy;'' and in that capacity he seems to
have intermitted his usual diligence in
marrying young women and changing
his name for several years. Pending his
sojourn in this country, by an Todd
chance, the Baron's original and verit-
able wife also came hither with an
American family. and one day while
walking in Fifth Avenue she suddenly
came upon her missing husband. 1t
might naturally be supposed that we
should at once add to this statement
another to the effect that the Baron
thereupon Immediately disappeared,
changed his name and married some
body else. By some unaccountable
oversight, however, he omitted those
proceedings this time, and being undis-
turbed by his wife, he finally died at
the German Hospital in this city a few
months ago.
Mrs. Haase had meanwhile been liv-
ing in Baltimore; and it has come
about that, by reason of certain need
full fOrmalities connected with legacy
left to Mrs. Haase by relative in
France, the abandoned wife has made
application to the authorities of the
German Hospital to have the record
changed so that the name of her dead
husband may be correctly inscribed on
the hospital books. The authorities of
the hospital thought proper to refuse
to comply. Mrs. Haase appealed to
the courts, and it is because of an Or
der of relief affimatory of the complain
ants application issued by the court
after due examination of the papers
that the foregoing curious history has
been made known to the world. Judge
Lawrence remarks in his order that
the case furnishes ian illustration of
the fact 1t truth is stranger than fic-
tion;'' AMI the trite saying assuredly is
not often better jusriied.-M 7. EUen-

Capital Punishment in China.

Apropos of the sentence Just pro-
nounced upon Chun Hou, formerly the
Ambassador of China at this court, Prof.
Vassilieff furnishes the following ex-
plantations; according to the latest
Pekin newspapers, Chun Hou, though
condemned to be beheaded, is not to be
Immediately put to death, but kept in
prison for the present. Capital SEN
tences are promptly carried out in the
case OF insurgents and certain other
classes OF criminals where delay mig ut
endanger the peace of the country. In
such cases even the local Magistrate is
empowered to summarily take life if
he deems it necessary. But ordinarily
the executions throughout the Empire
take place simultaneously at the au-
tumnal equinox, at which time the EN-
peror visits the Temple of Heaven to
clear himself of the sin of shedding
blood. Hence if an order criminal is
sentenced the day after the autumnal
equinox, he has a whole year of life
still before him. Moreover, for a GER
tain time before the equinox the Min
lster OF Tortures receives and examines
the lists of the condemned from all
parts OF the Empire and reports to the
Emperor the names of those least de-
serving of clemency. The Emperor
then orders some to be executed forth
with, and respites others for another
year. The sealed lists of the doomed
are carried to all parts of the Empire
by couriers. On fixed day all the
sentenced criminals are brought to
public place, where the sealed lists are
opened and the Emperor's orders car
rled out on the spot. Some are be-
headed with sword or common
knife; some are strangled by being
dragged over the ground, for the gibbet
is not used in China. Beheadine is re.
garded more shameful than stranpling.
for the latter leaves the body whole.
while the former dismembers it.-N

Interesting Races,

1t is said that Major Biddulph, sta
TONED on the Cashmere boundary. has
prepared report upon the customs.
languages and the folklore of the sin.
gular communities among whom he has

kind OF the present day is probably de-
scended. Sergeant-Major Bellew,
meanwhile. has been examining few
men from the cantons on the southwest
of Dardistan, peopled by similar race
who in one respect are still more inter-
esting, for their country has never vet
been visited by civilized traveller. But
in appearance and language they close
ly resemble the Dards, and unlike them
have not embraced the creed of their
Mohammedan neighbors. The tongues
spoken In all these hills are, for the
most part, Aryan; not descended from
Sanskrlt, and, indeed, of earlier origin
than that classical language. On the
northern slopes of the mountain Parsee
words prevail; in the southern cantons
some of the words resemble Greek.
some Latin, some those of modern Eu-
rope. They make (and freely consume)
grape wine, something like crude Ber-
gundy. Those who are not Mussulmans
believe in one God, but employ the in
tercession OF minor powers, represented
by images. They also occasionally can
onize great men whom they have lost
by death. They are usually monoga-
nous, opposed to divorce, and strict de-
tenders of the chastity of their unmar-
ried girls. These latter have blue, gray,
or hazel eyes; black hair is the exception
among them. and, when young, they
are OF such remarkable comeliness as to
be in great demand in the slave. mar
kets OF adjacent countries. Authentic
information concerning these interest
ing races cannot but be anxiously
awaited by all who realize the nature
OF the questions involved. London
