Railroads in Central America,

There IS much IN the region and approach
to 1salco to remind one of Vesuvius, It
is the most active volcano on the conti-
nent, and its whole appearance, its tre-
mendous power in throwing stones, scoria,
| and lava to heights estimated at |, 100 and
even 800 feet, render it the most interest
ing mountain Of Central America. if not
! the western world.
The railroad mounts up steep grades at
u distance from the volcano of only five
miles, and bends about it until it reaches
the village of Armenia This town is u
place OF Spanish days, and is in broken
region where coffee comes to great per-
fectiOn. A few miles further will carry
the road to the capital of San Salvador.
and another projected branch bends around
the volcano to Santana, Il city in the coffee
region.
All Central American railroads are mar
row gauge, and generally have Americans
back of them, though some English CAPT.
tai has been invested in them. They are
generally we'll built, excellent masonry
and iron bridges being the rule. Many of
the ties are made of lignum vitae and an
other kind of wood equally hard, and to
fasten the rails to them holes are bored
for the spikes.
1t is easy to see that when completed
from the Pacific ocean to the Caribbean
sea as the projected lines contemplate,
they will prove very remunerative as we'll

A Mans Breath Catching Fire,

l can not do better than give the facts in
the words of the patient himself, who
communicated them to me by letter. He
writes RS follows:
"A rather strange thing happened to my
self about week ago. For month or
SO was troubled very much with foul
eructatlons. had no pain, but the smell
OF the gas which came from my stomach
was dlsagreeable to myself and to all who
happened to be in the room About Il
week ago, as said, got up in the morn
ing and lighted a match to See the time.

TO blow 1t out my breath caught fire and
gave loud crack like the report of a pis-
tol burned my lips and they are still
sore. got terrible surprise, and so did
my wife, for the report awakened her."
From the above occurrence it would ap-
pear that the conditions known as hall
tosls," or diseased breath, is not only a
source OF misery to the sufferer and those
compelled to associate with him, but may
under certain circumstances, become a
condition OF danger to the unfortunate
possessor OF it. In the present instance
the gaseous results of the imperfectly d.
gested food had their atoms of carbon and
hydrogen SO arranged Us to give rise to the
presence OF carbureted hydrogen, the in
ftammable and explosive qualities of
which came into play when mixed with Il
due proportion Of atmospheric air in pres
ence OF the unguarded light of the burn
ing match. may add that the patient to
Whom the accident happened is most in

is not wax imitation, nor the ear of some
ordinary individual procured from dis

John Brown, all except the 'bony" part.
1t is we'll authenticated, and its history is
this: When the post mortem was made,
the physician who conducted the examina-
ton cut off the left ear and sent it to Gov
ernor Wise, who retained it till his death,
when it fell to his son, and this son in per-

Local Option.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Friend II say friend because thou art iberal),
was not wanting local-option law, l only
inquired how one could be had if there was none.
think local-option law that would grant
license to sell liquor as a beverage, would be a
bad move. For by such q law in community
where the liquor elementsis the strongest, the
Liquor League could vote IN a license to so sell
liquor over the heads of a minority of sober,
honest men and Christians, and keep up hell
Of hole so to speak, as long as they could get
a majority of such votes. And. too, it would al
low men in a community like Utah. to vote for a
plurality Of wives IL they chose to doso. There
fore, believe it not right TO make such law
constitutional. And I believe it not constltu-
tional in this State. For see the decisions in
Indiana Report w (Porter), pages 343 to 351
inclusive, and Indiana Report XI, pages 484 to
400 inclusive, and Goodwin's seventy years
tussle with the 'liquor traffic." pages 100, 102,
10o and ITO, and thee may see how blind the
writer of that comment on my first card is, on
the lccal-option feature of the law OF 1853 espec
tally.
My only hope for practical prohibitory law
has all along been, and Is yet in the Republican
party And may that party so conduct itself as
to keep up that hope in its temperance mem
