A Railroad Signal Clock.

Peter Long, a gentleman of Racine,
has patented railroad signal time clock
which indicates the intervening time be-
tween trains. It is to be mounted SINH.
lar to the danger signals. and the
engineer can readily tell by glancing at
the dial how much time has elapsed
since the preceding train. passed that
point. The clock is made to run regu-
lar and show the hour, just like an ordi.
nary time-piece; but an ingenious device
connecting the nail and clock-work
throws the minute hand back to IL when
train passes by the signal. Then the
minute hand moves on around until the
next train comes along, when it drops
back to IL again. Should any train not
be followed by another for an hour or q
longer period, then the minute hand will
pause at 55 minutes, and remain there
until passing train throws it back to IL.
when it starts on as before. The pur-
pose of having the hands stop at IS min.
utes is to show that at least that much
time has elapsed since train has gone
by, which is sufficient to indicate clear
track.-Railway Passenger Agent.
There is very little to choose between
getting married in fashionable church
in America and one in England. The
legal fee for marrying . couple in Eng
land is lbs Cd, but the rector Of y "tony"
establishment is net satisfied with so
meagre fee. i.ecently the best man OF
fashionable West End church wedding
rendered the rector . 45 note for his
services IN marrying couple. The doc.
tor took the money, but subseq uentlv
wrote quite Indignantly to the best man
that his fee was six guineas. II the
services of bishop and two or three
descons are required to perform the mar
riage ceremony, as is frequently the case
in London, the expense is much heavier.
No LAMB.-An example has been set
by Queen Victoria in ordering that NO
lamb shall be served this season in the
royal household. The bitter March
weather has been fatal TO lambs and IN
breeding ewes 10 such an extent as seri-
ously to reduce the stock Of sheep. Az q
result Of the queens order, the price Of
spring lamb in the London market has
fallen from lad. to ID. the pound.

Brooklyn Bridge.

The famous Brooklyn bridge connect
ing the prosperous cities of New York
and Brooklyn, and which has been in
course of construction since January,
1870, was formally opened for traffic
May oath. Mr.. Jno. A. Roebling
originally estimated the cost at 81 900, :
which has cost IS, 800, 900. The actual
cost when completed will be about S15,-
900. One reason of this increase
was that the government required an in
crease of five feet in hight, making the
clearance under the bridge 1876 feet, and
it was widened from eighty to eighty five
feet. These changes cost eight per cent
more. Steel was substituted for iron,
and the approaches are masonry instead
of wire rope. The following figures
give good idea Of the dimensions:
Length of each land span .............. $50 II

The adoption of suspended span of

mined the hight of the towers (276X
feet) from which the span must be sus.

each side. The anchorages are solid
butrical structures of stone masonry,
119 by 1872 feet at the base and rising
some 80 feet above high water. They
weigh 10000 tons each. The bridge
floor is an immense steel framework,
consisting essentially of two systems of
girders at right angles to each other.
There are stays in every direction. The
weight of the whole suspended structure

maximum weight with which the bridge

1880 tons. making q total weight borne
by the cables and stays of 8120 tons, in
the proportion of 5000 tons by the
cables and 1880 tons by the stays. The
lengthwise pull in the cables and to the
load becomes about II. 700 tons, and
their ultimate strength is 49, 200 tons.

TO ne Editor Of The EreniHg Grille.
Tuesday being examination day In Miss
Bell CAROLS school In the Abbot building,
TIE writer, in company with many other
ladies and gentlemen, visited the school for
the purpose Of witnessing the closing exer-
cises. I was very much pleased with the ap-
pearance OF the school, the good order main
tained, and the spirit with which teacher and
pupils went through the days programme. A
very large majority OF the pupils went through
their appointed tasks promptly and correctly,
each In turn demonstrating the tnoroughnes5
with which they. had been trained and drilled.
During the two hours spent in the room l did
not witness single breach OF decorum, and II
was easy TO see IN the manly bearing OF the
boys toward their teacher that she possessed
their entire confidence AMI respect. 1t was
also easy 10 see that Miss Carroll held the
reins OF discipline with firm and steady
hand, and had perfect control OF the situation.
was much pleased with the singing inter-
spersed through the programme, which In
spirited the pupils and relieved the exercises
OF the tedious monotoDy which sometimes
mars such occasions.
One thing more. Paronts and guardians
should attend these examinations, II 1t IS pos
sible for them TO do so. Their presence gives
great pleasure to teacher aud pupil alike, aud
adds new element 10 the enjoyment OF such
occasions. The teacher OF your children Is
deserving OF all the encouragement You can
give her, and your presence spurs your chill
dreD on 10 redoubled efforts TO learn.

Kansas city Journal.
For the information of the Journal it may
be stated that Mr.. Bliss is no longer con-
nected with the pending Star-Route cases.
His services ended with the verdict of the
jury which acquitted the defendants. There
are two other persons, however, who have
been employed as attorneys for some time,
who are still on the payroll of the Depart
nent of Justice at 500 per day each
Messrs Ker and Merrick. The general i'm
preston in the community seems to be that
the object of retaining Ker and Merrick
is because of their alleged Dem ocratic
views. They are wanted more by the De-
partment of Justice to defeat an investiga-
tion into the wanton expenditure of money
than to further prosecute any other alleged
Star-R Route Irregularities. But it is safe to
say that the only way to prevent an inves-
tigaton Is to prevent the meet ing of Con-
pIess.
