It is stated that our imp0rtatious of eggs
from Canada last year amounted 20 twelve mil
lion dozens. We now get eggs from France,
Holland Germany aud Italy, and it is suggest
ed that yet cheaper supply can be had from
China. IC is a sad commentary upon the efIi-
cheney or nHmbers of American hens, that we
have to send a couple Of millicns of dollars out
of the country 20 help out cur egg supplies.
The mere statement ought at once to have
the effect of extending chicken culture every
where. Surely there IS no valid reason why
we cannot furnish eggs enough to supply our
wants

A HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.
Sickening Scenes at the Railroad
Accident in Germany.
More Than Fifty Human Beings
Msngied by an Express Train.

European papers give the following do
tails of the recent railroad disaster at Steg
litz village about three miles from Berlin,
on The Potsdam-NIagdebu colo me railway
line
The fine Sunday weather had tempted to
the place, as to all other suburban resorts,
crowds of pleasure-seekers of the poorer class
including some patriotic societies, to celebrate
the anniversary of Sedan. AT the close OF
the day the station was besieged by several
hundred of the excursonists, eager to get
home by the first train from Potsdam. The
station at Steglitz is furnished with INSULT
Gent waiting accommodation, and passengers
going to Berlin have to cross the rails in order
to enter the up trains Until the mp trains
arrive it is usual to detain Berlin-bound
passengers on the down platform, by means
of a movable barrier, such as is used at most
crossings; and behind this barrier last night,
toward 10 O'clock an inpatient crowd of 200
or 800 people were waiting for the train that
was to take them home to Berlin
The train arrived, and, eager to Sc
cure seats, the excursionists either
burst, or jumped or pushed back the bar
rier-poles, and began to stream across the
rails like a flock of sheep. This they did in
spite of the shouts, remonstrances, and Ian
tern waving of the railway officals-of whom,
however, it is said that there was an alto.
gether insufficient number-who saw, to their
horror, that the Cologne express from Berlin
was tearing down upon the station at the
rate of a kilometer per minute. There was
one heartrending and unanimous Shrek
which senced even the thunder of the ap-
preaching wheels, tie heavy engine dashed
in among the wedged and struggling mass,
and in another instant the line was strewn
with the horribly mutilated and dismembered
bodies of some forty human beings.
For a distance of one hundred yards the
line was covered with bodies, all shockingly
mutilated, and human fragments. Of one
family of five persons only one boy escaped.
The killed include four married couples, five
members of the Shooters company, with the
fagbearer and three artillery corporals.
One of the latter had both legs and his
heavy saber cut through with a knife.
One girl had nearly reached the local
train when the draft caused by the ex-
press threw her under the locomotive. One
woman had both legs cut off, and on being
carried into the waiting-room gave birth to
dead child and expired. Another woman
and a sailor in the imperial navy were COM
pletely decepitated, and no vestiges of the
heads have been found A child had one
hand cut off, and one body was entirely di-
vested of clothing

A Big Pool.

a correspondent in Africa gives an
ac cunt of big pool in the Conga
river, Africa, named after Stanley, the
explorer. He says: Before | proceed
to further description of Stanley
Pool and its inhabitants, might men
ton, for those who like statistics, that
this great eXpanse of the Conga is
about twenty-five miles long by sixteen
broad, and that its depth varies from
two or three feet to thirty fathoms.
There are about sew nteen islands of
note, the largest being thirteen miles
long. Many sandbanks also strew the
waters of the Pool, and floating islets
are often seen, masses of reeds, papy-
rus, and aquatic vegetation, which
have become 50 solidly knit together
that man may stand on them.
These are often of some extent,
and may he taken for real islands until
their motion with the current is OBJ
served. White egrets and many
water birds frequent them, and
the hippopotami play round their
edges. On the large islands
are many elephants and buffaloes,
which creatures swim backward and
forward from the mainland wit b
storks, pelicans, cormorants, herons
egrets, sacred ibses, spur winged and
Egyptian geese, terms. and "scissor-
bills" frequent the thick tangles of
high grass and the many sandbanks
where they form strange groups with
the crocodiles, who are want to lie
basking in the sun with fixed grin
play ng about their closed Jaws. The
birds are in no fear of them, but stand
about amidst the sleeping monsters,
pluming themselves, and meditating,
perhaps, on the contrast between their
delicate forms and the hideous, I'M
couth, creatures which lie aroun |. 1t
is curious picture, the grotes4ue and
the graceful side by side. The people
inhabitng the shores of Stanley Pool
belong to the Bateke "a G, but they
wonld seem to be recent arrivals, and
to have dispossessed the older inhab.
tants and driven them into the interior

Appearance of q Tornado.

AS the tornado now sweeps onward
in its course, it rises and falls with a
series of bounds, and, with a swaying
motion, describes zigzag course, now
forming a chain of loops, and again
shooting off on an obtuse angle, vary
ing in the speed of its former motion,
which may be anywhere from ten to
thirty miles an hour. At the same
time it is rapidly whirling on its axis
in the opposite dire ton from a screw,
or the hands of a clock, the air revolv-
ing around the vortex, necessarily at
tanning speed of several hundred
miles an hour. First widening, then
contracting, now bounding above the
treetops, and aga n descending to sweep
the earth bare of every object within
its reach, the aerial monster surges on
ward. The largest forest trees, mere
playthings in its grasp, are plucked up
by the roots, or snapped off like pipe
stems; sub atantial buildings are first
crushed like egg shells, then caught up
in the vortex and the debris carried
sometimes for miles, before it is again
thrown off by centrifugal force, and
falls by gravitation, any Where, every
where, as soon as released from the
monsters grasp.
1t is diiicult accurately to describe
the tornado's appearance and work.
even for those who have been eye
witnesses, or who have personally
passed through the horrors its coming
brings. While accounts differ as to
its appearance and behavior as wit
messed from different points of o SER
walton and under different circum-
stances, all substantially agree that it
is cone-shaped, its motion rotary, that
its apex resembles fire and smoke, and
that vivid lightning and heavy rainfall
usually accompany it. In rare in
stances, electricity, in the form Of st.
Elmo's fire. will prece the vortex, and
a white, steamy cloud will follow. 1t
will be observed that the form of the
tornado-cloud is nicely illustrated by
the "proof-plane used in teaching
natural philosophy. The small end of
the plane is most heavily charged with
electricity, and, the nearer it approaches
to perfect point, the greater VIII be
the accumulation high tension is
caust d, and the electricity must escape
by some conductor. So. in the tornado
cloud, the smaller the point or stem,
the greater the force eXeIted when it
