press trains left this morning, west, east,
and south, with high officials of the COM
pany at the lever. The Inconvenience to
the public has been comparatively inslg-
uiicant considering the firm and defiant
stand Of the engineers, who will not be
taken back unless they sign an agreement
with the company. Newspapers express
the belief that the strikers have been
frozen out, as the company expect about
twenty men from the south. The schedule
of wages, published to-day, show that l34
engineers earned an average OF over Sloo
during November, while some made over
5000 month. Egan says the workshops
will be reopensd soon. Some OF the
strikers have already got sick of the bust
ness, and have offered to return to work at
the old rate of wages providing the COM
pany would agree to reinatate all the men.
The railroad officials refused to do shy
thing of the kind, and the men went away
evidently disappointed.

NoRrHFIEhD, MINI. Dec. H.-Varying
reports respecting railroad survey By the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific company,
alias the Cannon Valley road, from Cas-
cade,s distance OF eight miles from North
field, where, by effectiug the proper survey
they might gain entrance to st. Paul, has
been quite current IN business circles OF
late. Not, however, was anything CLEANED
which was correct till your representative
called upon certain official and was
given these pointers:
eyes sir, the long talked of survey has
finally been permanently decided upon"
Question-What is the real object of this
company putting line, SO to speak, side
by side with the Milwaukee folks.
Answer-Sir, to make competing line
direct from st. Paul 10 ST. Louis.
Question-Where do you expect to 60
into st. Paul.
Answer-We do not go into st. Paul
proper at all, but in lieu ter
inmate in West St. Paul, where
adeG uate buildings Will be erected for a
start for the northern terminus of the
road.
Question-When do you expedite com
rence grading for the roady
Answer have just received a letter
from MFR. j. A. Devane, engineer OF the
surveying party which is low located al
Empire, about fifteen miles from here
stating that within the past forty hours
the survey had been chosen, that grade
stakes are being driven coming this
way, and L would add that the
probabilities are that work Will be oom
menced the first of February TO grade
should the weather beas fms then as 1t has
been the past month. In answer 10 ny
question where would the road go through
the bluffs surrounding West st. Paul on The
north, the gentleman said it is not exactly
known just at this time, but it would either
take the old Dodd road or the road lead ne
from the Dodd road some six miles from
tnat city leading through the main stree
OF West 81. Paul.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

In study of the bitumen of the Dead
Sea, M. B. Delachand determined the pre-
sence of sulphur in large quantities, and
hence claims for this bitumen o distinc-
lively mineral origin.
1t is reported that DIR. T. W. N. Greene
states that he practiced for four years in q
province of Montevideo, where the popula-
tion, practically speaking, subsisted en-
tirely upon meat, and yet scurvy was not
known among them.
A statue to the inventor of the manu-
facture of soda is about to be erected at
Issoudun, his native place. When this
great chemist was alive the world refused
him breakfast; now that he is dead,
why, monument, of course.
A new ire.proofng liquid is being intro.
duced. 1t is basic silieate of alumina,
and it is said to be far better than tung-
state of soda, because the cyanite does not
scale off or evaporate, while the soda re-
quires reappication every week.
Glass is beginning to take the place of
wood and iron in making railroad bridges
in England. The inventor makes blocks of
glass, which he hardens by special pro.
cess. In solidity it is said they leave moth
ing to be desired. The experiments already
made have given surprising results, and the
cost is below that of bridges of wood or
irou. Moreover, the glass cannot be in
jured by insects like wood, nor rusted like
iron.
A cavity in grindstone may be repaired
as follows "Take a piece of old grind
stone and pound it up quite fine, or procure
some fine, sharp sand and sift out the
coarsest, using only the fine; make
this into paste with one-third
the bulk of hydraulic lime or cement
and sufficient water glass undercut the
cavity in the grindstone or drill key-holes
in it, and fill it with the cement as above
made. 1t will harden very rapidly. Very
good artificial stones may be made in this
manner in mold to which considerable
pressure can be applied.
Lieutenant Dick, of the Russian army,
has discovered a new Illuminating sub.
stance, in the form Of a powder which
causes any objects to which it may be ap-
piled to become luminous. Water in a
glass vessel may be converted into an illu-
nlinating fluid by the addition of some of
the powder The new illumiDsnt consumes
no oxygen, and its use in mining operations
is therefore recommended. Its illuminat.
ing power lasts eight hours, when a new
supply of the powder becomes necessary.
The German Government has lately been
experimenting with the substance.
