A Portable HALLWAY.

Recent wars in difficult and half civilized
regions have developed something new in
railway building. 1t is French invention
aud very ingenious one. Its main feature
IS that it is portable railroad. Ii is built
from one camp ahead to another, the nsxt
that is intended to be occupied. After it is
laid down, provisions, army supplies and
all that is wanted soldiers themselves
when necessary are carried through When
the transportation is effected this con-
venient little railway is taken up and
brought to camp. 1t is formed CT small
steel rails, which can be taken up in sec
tions and put down in very short time
The first use that seems to have been made
of it was in the Russian war with Turkey
in 1882 The Russ ans bought 100 versts of
the road and used it constantly in their
military operations. A verst is two-third;
OF a M lie. Then next the system was made
use of on our isthmus to transport supplies
for the Panama canal

Carp are divided into three varieties: L
the scale or true carp; 2, the mirror carp
5, the leather carp. In Germany the scale
carp is principally raised and preferred as

opinion, however, the only true carp, and
the other two are ny brids of some other fish
