On the evening of Dec. 9, 1876, al
about 3 o'clock, there was seen in Kan
s;ls "A bright fire ball, which rose in the
western sky near where the moon hen
was. II crossed the heavens apparently
near the center of the state, its flight
to the horizon appearing TO observers
To last about n minute. The same me-
teor was seen to pass similarly from
west-aouthwest to east-northeast by OBJ
servers in many states from Nebraska
to West Virginia, and from Missouri to
Wisconsin. Near the meteor's path,
four or five minutes after its passage,
loud explosions were heard, resembling
distant cannonading, or noises like the
rafting of empty wagons over stony
roads. SO loud were the noises that
people and animals were frightened.
The explosions were heard east of the
Mississippi everywhere within sixty
miles OF the estimated path Of tho
meteor, and at Bloomington, Ind, 1850
miles distant, sounds were noted which
were supposed TO come from the meteor.
Over central Illinois the meteor broke
into fragments like an exploding rocket,
and owe Indiana and Ohio it formed n
flock or cluster OF meteors computed to
be forty miles long and five miles broad.
The sky over New York was overcast,
but from many places in the state came
accounts OF rafting of houses, thunder
ing noise, and other such phenomena,
which at the time were attributed to an
earthquake. At mi place in northern
Indiana n farmer heard n heavy thud,
and found beneath the snow the next
morning n strange stone weighing three
quarters OF a pound. By putting to-
gether the various accounts Of observers
it appears that the meteor was first seen
near the northwest corner of Indian ter
ritory, Mt IN elevation of from sixty to
100 miles above the earth's surface.
Thence it Travelled to n point over CEN
trail New York in about two minutes,
approaching tho earth all the WHILE

There are people who look at the
pictures in the rogues' gallery and say;
-Of what good can these twisted and I'M
natural faces be? Were their owners
met in the streets their c-ountenances
would be composed. They would be al
together free of these distortions, by
which they have tried to cheat the pur-
pose of the police in photographing
them. No one would know them then
Well, that is all wrong. The very
cleyerest hands at preparing a false
physiognomy for the camera have made
their grimaces in vain. The sun has
been too quick for them, and has inn
prisoned the lines of the profile and the
the features and caught the expression
before it could be disguised. There is
not n portrait here but has some marked
characteristic by which you can identify
the man who sat for it. That is what
has TO be studied in the rogue's gallery
detail.
"A general idea Of the looks of a per-
son derived from one Of these pictures
may be very misleading. The person
himself will try TO make it 80 by alter
ing his appearance. He a grow or
shave off a beard Oh mustaohe, he can
change the color of either, he may be-
come full-faced or lantern-jawed in
time. But the skilled detective knows
all this and looks for distinguishing
marks peculiar to his subject. You I'M
derstand me. 1t was a forehead drew
your attention. The lines of the fore
head would probably be a detectives
study in that burglars ease. 1t did not
matter much what disguise he assumed.
That feature would remain TO tell-tale."

In hardly any portion of the peninsula
are there more than two daily trains,
one of these only carrying se~cond-class
passengers, and as comparatively few
persons travel first-class they must 20
by that particular train or wait twenty
four hours. Stop-over tickets are never
allowed, nor is a passenger ever given a
ticket to any particular point unless the
train makes all the through connections
He may be willing TO wait at some
junction n few hours till the next train
leaves, but no such infraction of the
rules is permitted. He must either go
back To his hotel, if he has come 10 the
station with the idea that he could leave
at that hour, or take his ticket by some
roundabout route that he has no desire
To follow.
Spanish ticket agents are uncommonly
slow and stupid. Three trains may be
about to leave one after the other for
different points. You may wish TO go
by the second or third, and having come
TO the station you take your place in
line 10 buy your ticket. 1t is useless.
The tickets are only being sold for the
first train, and that must be dispatched
before any can be sold for the second.
SO you leave the line and wait, and are
fortunate if you are able TO get your
ticket and take your place before every
available seat has been occupied. Even
in cities Of some size ticket-ofices are
mean and poky places, often in ono
corner OF the baggage-room. Station
houses art always dirty, and agents and
ticket-takers are often unclean and take
your ticket with fingers contact with
which seem undesirable. First-class
coaches are about rs good as the second
class in France and Italy, while the sec
ond-class are no comfortable than
those Of the third-clnss in those oun
trics.-Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

]Passengcrs ask n~onsensical questions

engineer has plenty Of time to sit down

gems come up, ask me how much my
engine can pull and how many horse

time ask how soon the train starts.
Now, in considering how much an en-

whether n rail is dry, slippery, or not,
whether the weather is hot or cold,
whether your boiler is n good steamer

Society at st. Petersburg is just now
much occupied with tho revival of n
very curious story. About three years
ago there was a spiritualistic seance at
the Onicen' club in that city, at which
the spirit of a famous departed general
was called up, and prophesied among
other things that there would be n great
war in 1885, in which Russia would take
the leading part. As the ghost of the
deceased warrior mentioned among tho
names OF officers who would greatly dis
tinguish themselves during the war,
those of some men who did not even
figure in the army list, tho affair was
looked upon as a joke and nothing more
was thought OF it.
But, by n strange coincidence, among
recent appointments TO the rank of
commissioned officers, the very names
appear which the spirit had foretold. the
bearers being men Of no family, who
have risen from the ranks. As there il
no country in the world where super
stitition il carried TO such an extent as
in Russia, the incident has caused quite
n sensation. 1t would be very strange
II at the commencement of the year
1885 we should see Russia drawn into a
war with Austria, as n result Of the

What Would he the Probable Result. 81
n Great Naval Battle.

what would Be the frObAbie iNeruita OF
Great Naval Battle.
People often wonder what would DC
the results of a great naval battle at the
present time. Would many ships be
destroyed? Would the loss of life be
great? Let us try to describe shortly n
few OF the probable features Of n great
fight between two fleets of modern IRON
clads. Although two hostile fleets
might approach one another in some
tactical formation this could not be adj
hered to for any length of time, and the
battle would soon become n series Of in
dependent duels between individual
ships. This is at once apparent when
we consider that most if not all Of the
ships would have rams, and it would,
therefore, bc highly necessary for a cap
tain to nave perfect control over the
movements Of his ship, to prevent hor
being rammed by an enemy.
At the outset of the action the tor
pedo boats would probably take n very
active part, and until exterminated,
which they certainly would be in time,
would engage great attention and
be effective in sinking n few
ships. 1t may be safely concluded
that every ship would be steaming fast
during the action, this being necessary
10 avoid being rammed, 10 get into
favorable positions for discharging tor
pedoes, and 10 elude the fire of an en-
envy. Heavy gun fire would, of course,
be maintained from the commencement
Of the action, and those ships whose en-
.arfv.u not ItouIlal frxr, tbtu ,a,,aa u,,,,lI
speedily be rammed; and at this point
we consider that great loss Of life would
take place, for the eason that the boats
of n ship, being always exposed TO ma
chine-gun fire, would Mt an early
stage Of the action be riddled and shat
tered with shot, and in the incredibly
short time in which n ship sinks after
being Tammed it would be impossible
for the crew to improvise other means
TO save themselves from drowning. No
steps seem yet TO have been taken by our
admiralty with n view of providing for
this contingency.
1t has been suggested that n hospital
ship, bearing the Geneva cross, should
accompany a fleet into action, TO receive
the wounded. We would make n fur
ther suggestion, namely, that this ship
should be provided with -fast-steaming
boats, peculiarly marked 10 show
their pacific nature, which should
proceed to the assistance of the
crew of a sinking ship; by this means
numbers Of the men might be saved
who would otherwise certainly be
drowned. 1t il not probable hat the
