A CURIOUS FOREST PRODUCT.
MusquitO Netting and Bridal Dresses

Musquito Netting and Bridal Dresses
Growing on South American Trees.
A stranger travelling in Central America
expressed great surprise when told by his
host that Inusquito nets grew on trees in that
country. The host further asserted that he
intended to get welding dress from the
same tree for a bride who was to be mar
ried on his estate.
"You don't mean," said the traveller, in.
credulously, that mosquito netting and
bridal dresses grow on trees, do yous"
Certainly" was the answer; follow the
men and you will see that speak the exact
truth" :# s@1
Still looking for some jest, the stranger
followed the two men who were to pluck
the singular fruit and stood by when they
stopped at rather small tree, bearing
thick glossy green leaves, but nothing else
which the utmost effort of the Imagination
could convert into the netting or the we'd
ding garment. The tree was about twenty
feet high and six inches in diameter and its
bark looked much like that Of birch tree.
II don't see musquito netting nor wed
ding Dress said the stranger, "and / can't
see any joke either"
"If the senior will wait few minutes he
will soc all that was promised and more,
too, was the reply. "He will see that this
tree can bear not only mos quito netting and
wedding dresses, but fish nets and neck
scarfs mourning Grape or bridal veils."
The tree was without more ado cut, down.
Three strips Of bark, each about six inches
wide and eight fees long, were taken from
tina trunk and thrown into q stream Of
water. Then each man took strip while
1t was still In the water and, with the point
Of his knife, separated thin layer of the
inner bark from one end OF the strip The
layer was then taken In the fingers and
gently pulled, whereupon it came away in
an even sheet OF the entire width and length
OF the strip of bark. Twelve sheets were
thus taken from each strip Of bark and
thrown into the water.
A light broke in upon the strangers mind.
Without doubt these strips were to be
sewn together into one sheet The plan was
good one and tho fabric thus formed might
do, he thought if NO better cloth could be
had. @.-'t -
The men were not through yet, however,
Tor when each strip OF bark had yielded It's
twelve sheets each sheet was taken from the
water and gradually stretched sidewise The
spectator could hardly believs his eyes The
sheet broadened until from Gloss piece of
material six inches wide it became q flmy
cloun OF delicate lace over three feet in
width. The astonished gentleman was forced
to confess that no human made loom ever
turned out lace which could surpass in
snowy whiteness and that gossanser like deli
cacy that product Of nature st Nicholas.

The day will dawn when one Of us shall
hearken
In vain to hear a voice that has grown
dumb;
And morns will fade, moons pale and shadows
darken
While sad eyes watch for feet that never
come.
One OF us two must some time face existence
Alone with memories that but sharpen pain,
And these sweet days shall shine back in the
distance
Like dreams of summer dawns in nights of
rain.
0ne of lis two, with tortured heart half
broken,
Shall read long-treasured letters thro' salt
tears;
Shall kiss with anguished lips each cherished
token
That speaks of these love-crowned, de-
hcious years.
0ne of us two shall find all light, all beauty,
All joy on earth, a tale for ever done;
Shall know henceforth that life means only
means duty
God! 0 God! have pity on that one!

A High Speed Loeomotiye.
EsTRADE LOCOMOTIVE,

Civil engineers in our sister republic across
the ocean have long been puzzling their brains
over q locomotive that can be propelled easily
and safely at speed of seventy-five miles All
hour NJ. Estrade has designed one which is
about completed and will shortly be tested.
The illustration gives a general idea Of its
construction The principal dimensions are
as follows: Total length, 33 feet; width be-
tween longitudinals, feet; diameter Of the
wheels, 81 feet; weight OF engine, empty, Sc
tons; weight of engine, loaded, 42 tons
French engineers are in raptures over this
machine, and one Of them says:
1t is impossible not to be struck by the char
acter of grandeur and power of this beautiful
engine, with its six driving wheels, of one
diameter in common Of 81 feet, mounted up
ON three coupled axles. The inventors idea,
it will be remembered, consists in generaliz-
ing the use of wheels of large diameter, in
the extension, TO high speeds, of the coupling
of the axles of the motor, in the adoption of
new and well studied style of double sus-
pension.
1t does not appear doubtful that it will be
possible to reach the high speeds OF from
seventy two to seventy-eight miles, for which
this locomotive has been constructed. The
equal size Of the locomotive Wheels and of
those of the cars, viii, doubtless. in great
measure diminish the resistance Of friction,
and permit Of gaining i'll speed. /, must be
noted that the fore axle of tie locomotive,
although coupled with the others, is
provided with hinged grease Loxcs On
properly slowing up, then, it does not seem
that it win be impossibls to turn curves Of

The Diet of strong Men.
The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet, and regular and con-
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only a little fruit and some
olives. He eats no beef, pork or mutton,
yet he walks off with his load of 800
pounds. The coolie, fed On rice, is more
active and can endure more than the ne
gro fed on fat meat. The heavy work of
the world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. The fastest or
longest -winded horse is not the biggest
eater. Moderation in diet seems to be
the prerequisite of endurance. Detroit

1t is a novel scheme, and originated with
Erastus Wiman, the only man who would be
likely to conceive such thing and be able to
carry it to what already seems to promise
satisfactory conclusion. The idea is this:
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, as is well
known, is seeking an entry into New York.
When it reaches point in New Jersey about
twenty miles southwest of New York city
there are two courses open to it, and both be-
set with difficulties. One is to make COM
promising arrangement with one of the rail-
roads who own the whole water front OH the
west bank of the Hudson, opposite New York.
The other plan would be to cut across the
Arthur Kills and make the terminus at Staten
Island, connecting by a ferry, of half hours
sail, with New York. There are some draw
backs to this scheme, but it is said that the
Baltimore and Ohio people have told those
interested in the Staten Island route that if
they will show them traffic to warrant them
building powerful and fast ferryboats they
will be inclined to listen to the claims t
their island.

PIONEERING A RAILROAD.
WILD WEST SCENES REPRODUCED IN
ADVANCE or THE; 8. AND o.


A Novel Scheme to Create q Traffie-A
Modern Amphitheatre in Which Indian
Fights and Contests Between Man and
Beast are Exhibited.
The Indian scout blazed the way for the
mail coach, and the latter's beaten track
opened the route for the iron horse. This is
the history of the rails progress across the
country. In advance of the railroad were
Indian fights and wonderful individual ex-
ploits by brave scouts and pioneer settlers;
thrilling trips of the pony express and hair
breadth escapes OF the stage coach. Then
came the cowboy and the Mexican greaser,
and coupled with all were herds of buffalo
and deer and droves of wild horses and cattle.
These are things of the past, one would say,
yet SO strange are the mutations of time that
we find these same stirring scenes of the wild
west reproduced in one of the suburbs of New
York city, to lead the way toward the extend
ing of another railroad to that metropolis.

Stocks Very Dull and Prices Little Changed-The Weekly Bank States ment Pan aIyzes Traders With Sur- prise-Exceedfngly Dull at the Close and Without Important Change.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.
 Light trade and insignificant fluctuations charac- terized today's operations on the Stock Exchange. Only three stocks show anything more than frac- tonal net changes in price, The "shorts'' of the board room and street having covered are disposed to await developments; hence the volume of busi- ness fell off nearly one-half compared with yes terday. Prices were disposed to advance fraction ally in the opening transactions. but trade fined to a few active stocks. Upon St. Paul run ming off a fraction the traders sold down all other active shares in the same ratio. Then came rally and in sleepy way the market showed strength until the weekly statement of the banks appeared. This of such an unexpected character that It fairly paralyzed traders with surprise. It gen. orally expected that the September dsburse- ments' of the past four days would be reflected by an increase of several millions in surplus reserve. The tremendous decrease of deposits and of legal tenders and the continued heavy contraction of loans were severe disappointment Although the statement was probably made on rising average it convinced the street that the stringsncy for money had not yet passed away. Jersey Central was made a little active by the pool in it, North west was advanced larger earnings, Pullman Palace Car was marked up on buying orders from Boston, accompanied with favorable rumors, and one hundred shares of Oregon Improvement were bought at an advance of 25 per cent over the last previous price. The market was strengthened in the afternoon by the support given to specific prop critics, but in the last half hour everything be- numbed and the close exceedingly dull and without important change. Sales at the board amounted to 11O,937 shares against 197.453 yester day ana 104, ,S48 on Thursday.
