RAILW4YS IN THE DESERT.

General Meigs, the greatest authority on
military railway construction in the United
States, returns in another column 10 the SOudin
question. Heshows that the Mexican Central
Railway has been laid ut the rate OF nearly
mile a day and asks why the British Govern
ment cannot do IA well. or even better. between
the Red Sea and the Nile. They would have To
do mach better than this in order to rescue
General Gordon. The distance from Suaklm 20
Berber is 2JO miles, and General Gordon can
not be expected to hold his ground 80 days
One thing, however, must not be forgotten.
The news that the British were building such
railway would travel fast. Before tine first sec
ton of fifty miles could be completed, the Sou
danese on the Nile would be convinced that the
British were in earnest and they might be dis
posed either to declare for General Gordon or
to dispense quietly.
General Meigs says nothing about the climate
of the Soudan, which would probably. prove
greater obstacle to railway construction than
the engineering difficulties. Major Clarke, who
has had great experience in railway building III
India ridicules in the London press the Idea
that the project is impractcable on account Oh
the heat. He has built railways with mean
monthly temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit,
night and day. and laughs at the excuse that 1t
will be too hot during the summer to proceed
with this work in the SOudan. Well-lntormed
exnerts in England are confident that such
line would not only prove Of the utmost lmpor-
lance in military sense, but would ultimately
be a profitable enterprise, since 1000 tons
of freight already finds its way down the Nile.

Fifth-ave. But unfortunately there is httio
hope of intelligent action in the City Hail.
,uD. SlYJNGS B1VKS.

All the city savings banks have come well ont
of tbe recent excitement, and it is not too much
n say that this fortunate result is largely due
10 the stringcncy of the law which governs their
operations. The absolute prohibition of specu-
lation to all bank officers indeed has been
shown BY the events of the past week to be most
desirable. since il is clear that men cannot be
trusted in such positions upon no better guar
antee than that of their private judgment. In
the case of the Newark Savings Institution MS
aster appears to have been incurred through
the disobcdience of the bank officers To the
order of the Chancellor. 1t is no sufficient eX-
cuse in such a case TO say that the brokers with
whom they deposited the Government bonds
had standing which justified implicit trust III
their integrity, nor is it justification to repre-
sent that the profit which was the immediate
incentive TO the deposit was for the benefit OF
The bank. The Chancellor had issued orders
which it was the plain duty of the bank officers
tn follow. and had they done so the institution
would have been on its feet to-day. This fail
IRE again shows the danger of trusting to pr-
yate Judgment, and the necessity of hard
fast rules which shall simply render 1t mposSl-
Die, without mourning criminal responsibility
to jeopardize the funds Of savings institutions.
1t is TO be regretted that the unntelligent
panic of great number of poor and Ignorant
depositors in the city savings banks, mostly
foreigners, should have led to the sacrifice by
them of the half-yearly interest on their de-
posits. Some of the bank officers appear to
have thought this exhibition of blind dlstrust
rather amusing, but considering that the inter
est Oh their deposits, however small, Is OF
serious consequence to thousands OF the patrons
of the savings banks, the loss is really vexa-
tious and the more 80 since il was wholly UNI
necessary. The depositOr could be protected
against himself in cases of this kind by adopting
the rule of notice of withdrawal. This has the
advantage of giving time for inquiry, and for
the passing of ephcmcral excitement. In the
present instance it would have prevented the
loss of interest to great many poor people,
and would have saved even the appearance OF a
strain upon the banks. The announcement OF
saving is so important, viewed solely as pub
lie Dolicy. that the law cannot be too careful III
guarding both the property and the interest of
depositors; and when, us in this city, a large
class of deposit0rs consists of foreigners of ner-
vous and cxcitable temperament, ignorant OF
American methods, prone to suspicion and apt
TO run together like sheep, and follow the first
promptngs Of their apprehenslons. they should
not be allowed to suffer because OF their want
of knowledge, but should be protected even
against themselves.

the means Of subsistence they viii see no motive
for change. This is human nature not solely
Indian nature. All men require pressure !"
notify their habits.
If the Government made worl, the condition
of partial subsistence, or supplied only tie
means of production, and discouraged nomadic
pursuits in all possible ways, the more inteiii-
gent Indians would perhaps take more kindly to
the changes demanded Of them. As regards
education. no doubt Indian children going from
the day-schools to the tribe have a difficult role
TO fill. but not more difficult than that OF the
children of the very poor in great cities wheh
they are trying TO get an education. The eleVa-
tion of the Indian is OF course difficult. Inat,
however, should have been realized from the
beginning But if al the general conditions OF
the Indians were the same as those encountered
By thousands of densely ignorant foreigners
who come among us as emigrants, is there any
sound reason for doubling that the indian
would in at least two generations rise as FAR as
these immigrants habtually do!
Cut them oft from the nomadc life altogether.
Make them work for their daily bread as all
other Americans work. Make them citizens.
Bring them under the laws. Sweep away the
rif1-raft of vicious white men that always Sd1hei
around the skirts of the reservation. Give the
Indians free contact with the better clements IN
our civilization and then/let them take their
chances with the rest. If they have any staying
power this policy would bring it out. Certainly
il would stimulate their energies and their wits,
rouse them from their sluggishness, create In
them rational ambitions and give the rising gen
Grafton of school-b bred Indian children relief
from the degrading and thwarting influences
now ODDosed to them.

amln undertakes to demonstrate that the volcanic
theory of the phenomenon is the true explanation,
and he brings together much cOrroo)ratlye evil
dence. derived from optical and chemical science
aud from the records of the past. The conclusion
reached by him is that the eruption or krakatoa
was one of the most important manifestations Oh VOL
canic forces the world has known; that themagnitude
of the forces then pat In motion renders it entirely
credible that an immense mass of volcanic asheS
mixed with watery vapor was propelled from Kraka-
toa TO height probably almost o0-eztenslye wlththe
limits of the earths atmosphere that this dense
mass Of fine and principally microscopic ashes

70 the objection of the advocates of the cosmical
theory that some traces of this volcanic dust oughG
70 have been found on the surface OF snow some
where. NJ Jamin replies by adl1cing evidence that
il has actually been found and at points consider
ably distant from one another.
He also produces strong argument from analogy
by citing the case Of a similar eruption which oc-
Cured on an island in the Mediterranean in 1871.
In that case the same peculiar optical phenomena
were noted, and Tor two months feu sdnseVs anu
sunrises were observed. not only IN various parts
of Europe, but also on the continent of America.
lie refers further to the contemporary accounts Of
that eruption of Vcsuvius in A. d. 10 which re-
suited in the destruction of Herculaneum and POM
peii TO show that the same aspect of the heavens
was then visible though naturally 1t was not
ascrbed to the true cause. The objections
against the duration of tho phenomena are
met with careful reasoning showing the posi-
bty of the persistent Aotation of the extremely at
tenuatcd matter composing these clouds of mingled
ashes and vapor 1t may be said that parts
of VI. Jdmin's argument appear to conflict some
what with Professor NOrdenski6ld's theory of COS
mic& dust, it seeming possible that the Professors
supposed meteOric dust may have been Of the same
nature as the volcanic ash clouds. The article is
extremely interesting, carefully written, and makes
a strong showing indeed for the volcanic
theory If it does not altogether settle the question
at issue.
