! Winter PALACE in MINNESOTA

On last Christmas Eve there was fire
in the city of Minneapolis, MINI. The
| Academy of Music was burned. 1t was Il
| fve-story structure The mercury stood
at forty-cight degrees below zeroi On
the following morning the combined effects
of fire, water and frost produced a creation
more marvellous than mans sublimest arch
| itecture, replacing the destroyed edifice
| with palace which words fail to describe
or enable any person to thoroughly con-
| ceive. \ local paper makes the attempt
in the following graphic language, show
| ing how the ruins looked after the fire: A
heavy, torn mantle Of ice fell i'll graceful
folds from the mansard root, shattered and
pointed in fantastic splinters, to the lower
floors. Here and there the crystal robes
were pinned back with stalactites, spark
ling beneath the sunlight. Icicles, like
diamond-headed pins, held back the virgin
drapery, festooning itself in curious forms
around the corners, creyices and cornices.
Grandly rose the magnificent palaces, i'm
pregnable as Z fortress, wrapped in the en-
brace Of polar wave. Barricaded with
walls of ice from ten to fifteen feet in
depth, reaching beyond the sidewalk and
into the street, shut in behind breast
work as hard as steel and as impervious as
adamant, towering above the streets, the
structure, with its ten million drops, ranged
around it like the hangings of a chande-
lier, reflected back the prismatic influence
of light, and made a picture seldom heard
OF, save in the fairy tales of youth. From
roof from facade, and from frowning front,
as clear as ever the roaring waters froze ON
the cataract of Minnehaha, the ice had
formed into strange fantastic shapes, and
left upon the spectators feelings of solemn
ity, for there was in the weird and Won
derful picture a reminder, strong and i'm
penetrable as the icy walls themselves, of
the fact that nature, when aroused, can
tear down and build as no human architect
or warrior can plan or execute. Inside
the building the scene was still more beau
tiful The ice had formed in hills and
valleys, in places five and six feet deep.
Reaching out from all sides, far above the
icy abyss below, long lines of gas pipes eX-
tended, completely covered with a frosty
drapery, and from every joint were sus-
pended crystal hangings which were gran
der than any that can be suspended from
the most costly chandeliers Of the most
palatial home.

THE DURABILITY OF STEEL RAILS
The durability of steel rails is discussed
by Webb, of the London and Northwest
ern Railway, who states that, according to
his calculation, 400 pounds of steel dis
appear every hour from the track of that
compary's lines, l,7S0 miles in length. At
first glance this seems :; surprising state
meat, lst, il is only 40 ton each hour, or
16.o tons = day, or 6132 nets tons each
year, for line of 1,780 miles, having an
exceptionally heavy traffic. In length the
railways of this country are l.3 times that
of the London and Northwestern, and at
the same rate of destruction by wear, the
quantity of steel rails required for re-
placement on all the roads of this country
would be only about 43S, GEO net tons. The
consumption of rails in 1888 in this coun-
try was about 100000, of which. $500
miles of new road required perhaps 650,-
600 tons, leaving 10000 tons for replace
ments both of ironand steel. 1t may be
inferred that the destruction of rails by
wear on the London and Northwestern is
not relatively so great as it may be on
many roads in this country Iron Age.

EARTHQUAKE SIGNALING.-The Seis-
biological Society of Japan has suggested
the use of the surrounding telegraph sta
tions as means of warning the inhabitants
Of Toxic or Yokohama of the approach Of
an earthquake. A shock at one of these
stations could be made to complete an
electric circuit and fire a gun in either Of
the two cities, thus giving notice to the
citizens from two to six minutes before the
arrival of the earthquake, and enabling
them TO extingnish their fires and remove
many valuables.
