covery of new textile fber-yielding
plant in Mexico is authentic. Mexican

which is of the vine species, yields q

dyes readily and is extremely plant

difficulties in the way of it's prepare

made from it closely resembles silk.

Heretofore there has been no means
of knowing the total railway mileage
of the country, because no official
inquiry has ever been made by any of
the general governments bureaus of
statistics. A basis for approximating
pretty closely to the actual mileage is
at last given, however, in the advance
figures Of the last census. These show
that there were 1891 miles of COM
plcte mileage in the country June 30,
1880. The Raill0ay Age has a record
of 7,175 miles built during that year,
of which it estimates that 1850 miles
were laid after June 80, and of 1886
miles laid in 1881. This makes total
of 101,777 miles on January /, 1882,
and enough has since been built to
bring the total at the opening of 1883
up to about $4,000 miles.

The famous Walled Lake in the

attention. 1t is in the midst of prairie
land and it is two or three feet above

wall Of stones in some places ten
feet high, fifteen feet wide at the bot
tom and five feet wide at the top. The
stones vary in weight from three tons
to 100 pounds. There are no stones on

ice on the lake broke the wall in

Somebody claims to have discovered
that an ordinary man is two inches
taller when he gets out of the bed in
the morning than when he goes back
to it at night. His theory is that there
is gradual diminution in hight during
the day. caused by the yielding Of the
plantar arches and of the invertebral
discs, as well as a sudden sinking at
the articulations of the legs when the
individual rises. The sinking at the
ankle he places at third of an inch,
at the knee one-twelfth to onc-eighth
of an inch, and at the hip two-ffths
of an inch. The shortening at the
knees is probably due to the elasticity
of the cartilages, while at the hips
there is as we'll sinking of the head
of the femur into the colyloid cavity.
If any reader thinks it worth while he
can measure himself and see what
truth there is in this.

on his own bank, not doubling for q

the value of expert testimony. Several

Characteristics Of a Cyclone.


All storms, of any magnitude thas
visit the United States, except the trop-
ical hurricanes which sometimes touch
the southern coasts, have a common
origin in or near the Rocky Mountains.
Here the first barometric depression is
felt, preceded by rising temperature,
caused by the warm winds moving
northward over the sun-heated sands of
Arizona, New Mexico and Western
Texas. These warm, rareiied currents
of air are met by cooler currents passing
over the snow-clad peaks of the north;
cyclonic storm is formed, usually
small at first, which begins its journey
eastward, gradually developing in en-
ergy and area as it goes. After leaving
the mountain ranges there Is but little
precipitation for the first few hundred
miles; as it advances it usually widens
from north to south, but the line of
travel of the storm-center can be readily
predicted by the Signal-service observ-
ers, and its location at any time fixed
by the lowest reported reading Of the
barometer.
During the journey Of the storm east
ward or southeastward, the wind in ad-
vance of it will be easterly, blowing off
an area of high barometer into the low;
and the barometer will continue to fall.
Toward the north of the storm the wind

quently blowing a gale; the barometer
will rise and the temperature will fall,
sometimes rapidly, and clearing weather
will follow.
Thus it will be observed that the true
axis is the ''storm center" and that the
storm revolves on this axis as ii moves
forward in an easterly, northeasterly or
southeasterly direction. This is the true
cyclone. 1t may be only few hundred
miles in diameter, or its influence may
be felt from British America to the Gulf
