tracklayers, who were not yet in sight
from either direction. In about half an
hour those from the west came round
point quarter of mile distant. Steadily
they marched (or worked) toward the red
flag (the winning point, like an army of
well-drilled soldiers. Not a false motion
made they but every move by any indl-
vidua! fo garded the work just so much.
At te;. minutes before o'clock the work
from me west reached the central flag,
but lhe gang from the east having suffered
several unexpected delays, were only just
coming around the curve three quarters of
mile away.
The locomotive from the west moved up
to the end of the track and INDUCED in
good deal of triumphant whistling, which
were answered by the locomotive from the
east-not triumphantly, however. The en-
gineer from the west stated that rather
than waste time in watering his locomo-
tive he let her run down almost dry, feel
ing sure that he would have enough water
to carry the machine to the meeting point
and after that-well, he didn't care much
what.
At 3 o'clock the tracklayers from the east
came up and the ends of the track met The
last Two rails were cut to a proper length
to fit the gap, after which they were spiked
down. Michael Clifford (spiker from the
west) drove the last spike, and the next to
the last was driven by F. M. Wilson, the
Herald's travelling man, after q good deal
of wild-sledge hammering which struck
almost everything in the vicinity except
the spike.
After the last rail was spiked down, Mr..
Winston called the track-layers together
and introduced Major Maginnis to them,
who delivered short but appropriate ad-
dress, coDgratulating them upon the i'm
portant part which they had played in the
building of this great trancontinentel
route. During his speech Major Magin-
mis- was loudly cheered. After this the
men returned to their camp, and the ex-
curslonists boarded the train and were
brought back to Helena, arriving at about
o'clock.
The point at which the two divisions
of the Northern Pacific meet is at Gold
Creek, where the first gold discovery in
Montana was made. The discovery was
made in 1861 by ''Gold Tom" and Gran
| Vile Stuart. 1t was not heralded abroad
until the next year, when singularly
enough Gold Creek was the accidental
meeting point of an eastern exploring
party tunder the leadership of S. 7 Hau-
ser) and similar party from the Pacific
coast, of which Bud Meadow was leader.
Both parties met at Stuart's cabin on Gold
Creek, learned of the gold discoveries, and
it is doubtless to that accidental meeting
Montana is indebted for one at least of
her most enterprising citizens.
The track laying armies will remain
where they are for a few days, part of
them engaged in ballasting the road, after
which they will scatter. Their chief oc-
cupation is gone, but at last the Northern
Pacific is built, and Montana reioices.

space of some 24,OOO miles in ''Iess than
no time" The simplest way to explain
this perhaps is the following: If one were
to get water pipe 4welve inches or twelve
feet or twelve miles in length and fill it
quite full of water, the very moment an
other drop vas added or forced in at one
end drop would flow out at tie other, and
this would be the fact if the pipes were
1900 miles long. Again, if the filled
pipe was closed at each end by fine dia-
phram, the moment the diaphram was
touched at one end with the finger the
shock would be felt at the other. And this
would be the case if the pipe was 10000
miles long (if it were possible), instead of
twelve inches. This is precisely the case
with the electric wire which is filled with
the electric fluid.

4 Tnrk's Justice.

< rich Armanian had lost his port. .toiio, containing four hundred thou. -and piasters, and for which he offer ed reward of forty thousand. The portfolio was found. and the reward claimed by very honest and poor old man; but the Armenian, in order to escape payment, then declared that the portfolio also contained 8 very valuable ring, which the old man must havs stolen. The affair was brought before the Sultan who, hay ing ascertained the honesty of the old man and the well-known avarice of his adversary, decided that, as the Armenian declared that his portfolio contained q ring, this could not be the one he had lost, and he had better return it to the old man, and contin- ne to advertise for his own.-Our Second Century.
