The Railway up Vesuvius.

The station Id situated on a level spot
on the west side of the mountains, about
half an hours walk from the observatory.
The constructors of the railways have
adopted the American double iron ro pc
system. There are two lines of ra lis
each provided with carriage divided
into two compartments, and capable of
holding six persons. While one carriage
goes up the other comes down, thus es-
tablishing counterpoise, which consid-
erably economies the steam Of the sta
tionary traction engine.
The incline is extremely steep, COM
mencing at 40 degrees, increasing to So
degrees, and continuing at so degrees to
the summit. Every possible precaution
has been taken against accident, and the
railway is protected against possible
flows of lava by an enormous wall. The
ascent is made in eight to ten minutes,
while before it required from one to two
hours. To obtain the necessary supply of
water, large covered cisterns have been
constructed, which in winter will be
filled with the snow that often falls heavi-
ly on Vesuvius. The snow will be quick
ly melted by the internal heat, and, be-
sides the water thus obtained, the fre-
quent rainfall will also be conducted
into the cisterns.

Good ADVICE.

If you keep your stomach, liver and
kidneys in perfect working order, you
will prevent and cure by far the greater
part of the ills that afflict mankind in this
or any section. There is no medicine
known that will do this as quickly or
surely as Parkers Ginger Tonic, which
will secure perfectly natural action of
these important organs without interfer-
ing in the least with your daily duties.

stocks was cleaned out of cash, owed
for four weeks board, and had drawn
my salary a month ahead. In this emer-
