Steamships and Emigration.

Emigration has in these latter years
had its character and its proportions rad
ically altered by the revolution in the
facilities of communication between the
opposite shores of the Atlanta. 1t is not
only that the ease and cheapness and
speed of transit have abated the terror
and mistrust which emigration once ex-
cited. The emigrant felt that there was
no place for repentance if his new home
should not content him. He now is con-
scious that return is a matter of few
weeks and a few pounds. Though he
may never cross back himself, he beholds
perpetually friends and neighbors COM
ing and going. He hears of relatives at
home. The fashions and customs of his
old and his adopted country are con-
stantly assimilating. But a more i'm
portant effect, in its bearing on the re-
cent growth of emigration, of the breadth
and smoothness of the high-road, which
steam by land and sea has paved be-
tween the Old World and the New, is the
impulse it has given to the import of
raw produce from the former. The road
sloped once only one way, and that way
in the direction away from Europe. En-
igrants went to found colonies and es-
tablish themselves in fresh homes. Their
departure relieved the mother country
from disaffected agitators, or from cries
for food it could not satisfy. So far it
benefited, and it expected nothing more.
The importation on great scale of food
from the rich American soil is novel
result of European emigration. A few
years ago it was impossible to look upon
emigration as a means of feeding Europe.
No means existed of conveying either
from the American plantations to the
Atlantic sea-board or from the sea-board
to Europe the surplus food, abundant as
it might be. A couple of centuries back
Surrey could not sell it's surplus stock in
London. Fifty years since the American
Northwest would yet more in vain have
raised its millions of bushels of grain
which a hungry Europe could not have
touched. American corn-fields have now
been brought by steam within tangible
distance of Europe; Europe accordingly
dispatches its reapers to get in the
harvest.-LOrldOG Times

Trichina Talk.

''The worms as found in pork, with
very rare exceptions, are in torpid con-
dition, coiled up and imprisoned in a
tough sack or capsule, which they never
leave until the pork is eaten by some
animal, the gastric juice of which dis
solves the sacks and sets the worms free,
to increase in size, pair and breed. Each
female produces brood estimated at
from 1000 to 10000. The young ones
cling to the Will of the hosts intestines,
producing diarrhea, which is the first
symptom of trichinosis. After breeding
for some weeks the old trichin9 die and
are elected from the system. The young
ones bore through the walls of the intes-
tines and make their way along the tibres
of those muscles which are able to move
by will. The worms absorb the juices
as they pass along. Continuing the
migration for about week they reach
the proper age or condition to go to rest.
They then bore through the sarcolema
or coating Of fibre of the muscle, and
coil up within it, This produces rheu-
matoid pains, inflammation and swelling
of the muscles occurs about two weeks
after eating the infected meat, and is the
most critical stage for the subject. If
the brood is not sufficiently numerous to
cause death to the patient, cyst forms
around each worm, inflammation goes
down and they cease to trouble their host,
who may from time to time take other
broods until he becomes infested with
millions of trichina and yet live in good
health.
Enormous numbers of trichine have
been found in human subjects who have
died from accidents and other causes,
and have not been suspected of harbor-
ing trichin9. In German who died in
the London hospital from wounds, Drs.
Thudichum and Cobbold found about
100,000,000 of trichine, or at least the
number counted in small portions of the
flesh warranted that number in the whole
body. These had, no doubt, got in the
subject few thousand at time. There
were perhaps years between taking the
first and later lots, the subject being ad-
dicted to eating raw and under-done
meats. Fortunately, thorough cooking
meat will destroy all trichina it may
contain. A very large number of expert
ments has been conducted in England
and Germany by feeding trichinous flesh
to various animals and birds, and these
give us a complete history of trichina. -

wide. This chasm has for years pre-

that region and Pittsburgh The Erie
railway is now spanning the ravine with
a bridge, to make the long desired con-
nection by extending its Bradford branch
to Johnsburg, Pa, The bridge will be
the highest railroad bridge in the world
--305 feet. This is sixty feet higher than
the Niagara Suspension Bridge, 10 feet
higher than the great bridge across the
Ohio at Cincinnati, 189 feet above HIGH
Bridge, New York; 10 feet higher than
the East River Bridge, and As feet high
er than Portage Railroad Bridge over the

will consume 10000, 900 pounds of iron.
1t will require 10000 yards of masonry.
