The .Scienfifc american says that the
haulage Of our railways employs over
Il. 900 locomotives, and that the aggregate
cost Of running them, such as fuel, water,
repairs and engines. is about $4,000, 900,
or rather more than 5000 for each en-
zine. The item Of fuel alone is SO, 0O0, COO,
but the waste in fuel is enormous.
Whenever a member Of the English
royal family is buried, a fee for .'breaking

not an inch Of ground is disturbed, only a

This stone closes the passage Of the royal
vault, which is really spacious room.
some cattle which a boy Of L was
watching in Dakota were destroyed by a
prairie fire. As the lad did not return

he had earned enough 10 cover the loss Of

The children in one Of the Chicago
schools were recently asked to write a
sentence embOdying the word capillary.
One girl wrote: Il sailed across the ocean
in capillary and when asked what she
meant triumphantly pointed out the word
in Webster's dictiOnary-"Capillary, a
fine vessel" Upon investigation it was
found that many Of her fellow pupils had
made the same blunder.
When RyssakOf, the Nihilist, was hang
ed at st. Petersburg, he held out to the
gaze Of the Mortified crowd his dislOcated
hands, and another Of the condemned
men exclaimed with his last breath that
Russians had tortured the Nihilists in
prison. NJ. RaffalOyich. in a new book,
now denies the truth Of the statement,
and says the Nihilists lied in the face Of
death to embitter the feelings Of their
living companions.

A London dispatch of July 3Oth says: "a
sensation was produced in the house of com
mons last evening by an Official announce
ment that James Carey, the Irish informer,
had been shot and killed by members of the
Order of Avengers of the Irish Society of In
vincibles. From the official information given
by the government it appears that the man
who has killed Carey is named O'Donnell.
The government has often received private in
formation concerning meditated attacks upon
Carey, and had many suspected Invincibles
under surveillance, but the officers had no
knowledge about any person answering O'Don-
nells description. Carey, it turns out was
bound for Port Elizabeth, Africa. He had re-
gained good deal of his self-possession and
spirit and was pretty well convinced that his
identity and destination were both unknown.

no less than one-half were won by
Jews. II there had been only one of
our race engaged in the contest it

the very great number who take rank
among the highest players, and the sue

bent of mind, the patience, persever-

quality known as lOng-headedness, are
all properties of the Jewish nature,
