To Prevent burial Alive.

Some of the philanthropic citizens of
Brooklyn have conceived a plan whereby
the fear of being buried alive, which
haunts the minds of many persons, may
be removed, and they are about to bind
themselves together as an Incorporated
company. In the suburbs edifices will
be erected fashioned to hold a large
number of collins. In these receptacles
the collins will be ranged about with
open lids, and will remain in the re-
ceptacles until the bodies they contain
show signs of life or are proved by de-
cay to be dead. Means will be provided
SO that if person in any of the collins
should be alive he could communicate
by speaking tube or telephone to an at
tendant, and receive the proper aid

The Worlds Mileage of Railroads.

There are about 80, 900 miles of rail-
road in the world, of which fully one
half are in America. Australia is now
building at the greatest rate per cent. Of
any of the grand divisions of the world,
partly because the mileage of that coun-
try is very small in proportion to its ex-
tent. Sixty Per cent. Of the railroads of
the world are in the EnglisI-speakins
countries. Australia has only 364 per-
sons per mile of railroad, the United
States about 500, and Canada the same,
In Great Britain and Ireland there are
1.S70 people per mile of road, and in
Germany, France and Belgium still
more. Austria heads the list with 2, 755
per mile. The British railroads are
very costly, the average exceeding
$500, 900 per mile. The average in the
United States is less than one. third as
much, the difference being due not alto
gether to cheaper construction, but
largely to the great cost of way in
the more thickly populated country.
Russia has only spent S14 per head.
and most Of the European nations
less than S50.-Boston Transcript.

A Camden, N. j., man has invented
and is having built an ocean tricyle. 1t
will be made entirely of iron and steel,
except a small platform where the
operators will stand. The wheels will
be eight feet in diameter, and will be
worked by levers from the platform,
which will be twenty-seven feet from
the ground. The idea is to run this
4nachine out to stranded vessels when
they lie in water not over twenty feet
deep. The inventor says that three
miles an hour can be made with the
tricyle.-New York Sun.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE?

This plain question comes home
to every housekeeper. We all
desire pure and wholesome food, and
this cannot be had with the use of i'm.
pure or poisonous baking powder.
There can be no longer question that
all the cheaper, lower grades of baking
powders contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. As 10th as we may be
to admit 50 much against what may
have been some Of our household gods,
there can be no gainsaying the unani.
nous testimony of the official chemists.
Indeed, analysts seem to find no baking
powder entirely free from some one of
these Objectionable ingredients except
the Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some of the
Baking Powders advertised as pure, to
contain, under the tests of Profs. Chand-
Ter, Habirshaw and others, nearly
twelve per cent. Of lime, while others
are made from alum with no cream or
tartar. This, we presume accounts for
their lack of leavening powder as some
times complained of by the cook, and
for the bitter taste found in the biscuits
so frequently complained of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the ply
siologists assure US that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not de-
composed by heat nor dissolved in mix.
ing or baking. They 60 with the bread,
therefore, into the stomach, where their
physiological effects are Indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents q
pound, lime still cheaper, while cream
of tartar costs thirty-five or forty.
These reasons for the chemical purity
of the Royal Baking Powder were re-
Gently given in the New York Times in
an interesting description of a new me-
thod for refining argols, or crude cream
of tartar. 1t seems that it is only I'M
der this process that cream of tartar
can be freed from the lime natural to it
and rendered chemically pure that the
patents and plant for this cost the Roy
al Baking Powder Company about half
a million dollars, and that they main
tain exclusive control of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist
Of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., in the interests Of
commerce, made an examination of
this process, and reported upon the re-
suits attained in the refined cream of
tartar. The following extract from his
report would seem to answer the ques-
ton repeated at the head of this article,
and which is SO frequently propounded
by the house-keeper:
II have examined the cream of tar
tar used by the Royal Baking Powder
Company in the manufacture of their
baking powder and find it to be per-
fectly pure, and free from lime in any
form. The chemical tests to which
have submitted the Royal Baking Pow
der prove it perfectly healthful. and
free from any deleterious substance.
