A learned professor in England has
felt it his duty to consider the feasible
ity of a railroad to the sun in its
financial aspects, and he finds that the
scheme could not be made to pay.
Take a railroad from the earth to the
sun, with train running forty miles
an hour, without stops, and it would
occupy about 265 years to complete the
journey; the fare penny Il mile
would be $l,S60,000.

injurious to human life. lie says the

Beer has never been supposed to
have any intimate connection with
lumber, but the Northwestern lumber
man asserts that great deal of the
beer which is sold is "doctOred' with
hemlock bark. Immense quantities of
hemlock bark are sold to brewers, who
use it to give poor beer the appearance
and taste of good beer 1t is regarded
rs great discovery, because it can be
made to take the place to certain eX-
tent of both malt and hops. 1t is not
poisonous, but on the other hand it
contains nothing that ministers TO
nourishment. 1t adds the pungent-
bitter taste, and gives the dark, red
dish color to the liquid. 1t would
seem as though the unfortunate beer,
tlrinker were be5et with dangers on all
sides. which he could avoid only by
shaking his thirst with water

One of the latest Improvements in
the United States railway mail SER
vice, or one that is receiving much at
tention of late, is the method of dis
tributing the mails for large cities.
Where there are several branch post
offices in city the postal clerks on the
trains will sort the matter for each,
and have it ready for speedy transit
to the several post-o1ices without all
the mail going to the main Office in a
city for sorting and distribution there.
The plan has long been in successful
operation on mail trains leading to
the large cities, but it is in time to be
extended to all cities where there is
more than one post office. The rail
way mail service and the through
pouch system are destined to work
wonders in the way of saving time in
the transmission of the mails.

Though the city Of Brooklyn hardly
dates further back than the beginning

numbered barely 1900, the county of
Kings was organized two hundred
years ago. 1t then included, besides
Brooklyn, as indeed it does now, the
towns Of FlatbuSl, Flatlands, and
New Utrecht. These still remain

growth from 1000 in 1910 TO GIj,-
600 in 1880 has been phenomenal,
rivals in population AMI industrial i'm
portance the greatest cities on the
continent. Every one knows that in
point Of population it ranks next after
Philadelphia and New York, but few
are aware that in manufactures it
comes as high up in the scale as num-
Der four, being surpassed only by
New York, whose annual product
amounts to $472 0O0,OOO; philadel-
phia, $324,O00, 1000, and Chicago, $249,-
100000. That of Brooklyn reaches

The Mormon settlement Of String
town, in Idaho, extending from Cliff
ton to Oxford, is five miles long. The
h0mesteaders residences are within
300 feet of each other, and the farms
are mere strips Of land about $50 feet
in width. The land was taken up in
this manner to give every settler 4
frontage on the public road. Some
