The Railway Car, of Russia.

The railway cars of Russia are among
the most commodious in the world. They
resemble ours rather than the compart-
ment cars in use elsewhere on the CONT
nent of Europe, but i'm Russia the aisle is
shifted TO one side, so that the seats on the
left will accommodate three passengers
side by side, and those on the right but
one. This is especially convenient when
the car is not crowded in night travel
The end doors Of the car, instead Of open
ing upon. the platform, lead into small
enclosed vestibule, whence doors open out
at right and left.-Cor Mechanics.

A shosless and stoehinslsss People.

A shoeiess and stockingiess feopie.
The 10000, 900 inhabitants of Mexico use
almost entirely homemade boots, shoes,
gaiters, slippers and sandals 50 far as they
wear any foot-covering at all.
Shoes in Mexico are European intro
duction, and do not properly belong to the
national costume. A large proportion OF
the population (probably u majority do not
wear shoes at all The sandal, which Is a
sole Of leather, raw-hide, or woven m1guey
fiber, strapped to the bottom OF the foot
with strings of the same material, Is the
only foot covering used by this class of peo-
Pile, and rs every man Is his own shoe
maker, and the climate requires no protec-
ton for instep or ankle, the national san.
dial Is doubtless the most economical, COM
Portable and healthy shooting that can be
worn in this country.
In proof Of this, the infantry regiments
of the Mexican army, armed and equipped
othC rwise without regard to expense, still
wear the leather sandal in preference TO
shoes, not solely for the sake of economy
but because il is considered generally
healthier, keeps the feet in better condi-
ton, i more easily repaired or replaced,
ard makes easier marching.
The shoe-wearing population of the Re-
public is chiefly of Euru,'ean origin or de-
scent and such of the Indian population as
by education and association have learned
to prefer European fashions and modes of
living This class has inherited from their
Indian as well as their Spanish ancestors
remarkably small. well-modeled feet and
hands, upon which they pride themselves
considerably; consequently a handsome
and elegantly shaped shoe is more es-
teemed in Mexico than a sound and sub
stantial one, and commands reader sale.
Hence, the cheaper shoes made in the
country IL not so strong and durable, are
moro carefully modelled and several sizes
smaller than the average trade shoe made
in the United States.-Boston Commercial

Curiositie. of English Jurisprudence.

A plain man would think that taking
and carrying away are words easily in-
terpreted; but what is taking and carry
ing away The cases decided are vari-
Gus. For instance, goods are tied to a
string, one end of which was fastened to
the bottom of counter. A man having
taken and carried them rs far as the
string permitted, IL was decided that he
had not "taken and carried away the
goods. Another man, however, removed
parcel from one end of a wagon to other,
and it was found that he had taken and
carried AVA the goods. A thief, also,
who snatched diamond from n lady's
ear and dropped il in her hair, was found
guilty OF Technically taking and carrying
away"
There ere other curiosities OF The law as
to things which can not be stolen. Thus

that ferrits, even when tanned and salable,

ends; but it requires time to work them out.
BY the rule of harmony. the 72nd meridian,
west, is in sympathy with the 72nd and l44th
east. Now, where is the Hath? Was the
southern upheaval q reflection from the
Japanese Islands, or from the terrible affair
at Java, four years ago?
The key of old ocean is c, and if the
dominant key of the year were also C, we
might infer hydraulic pressure. under ground,
arising from tidal action This inference
should be strengthened by surface indications,
such as the activity of geysers and spouting
springs. The latent heat of the interior of
the earth would materially assist the earth
quake. without involving the volcanic theory,
and without calling in question the substan-
tial solidty of the centre of gravity. The
under currents of the earth are usually at
tributed to the annual rainfall, which is true
to limited extent only. The water, having
found its level, would remain there. and not
rise to the surface in enormous jets, as it has
done, and continues to do, in many places.
What is the key of the present year? A
musical expert ought TO know. Il would be
in the air, and affect any sensitive instrument.
In the absence of definite knowledge, we
look for it in social and political agitation.
How is the international scale affected?
Which is the disturbing element? Ifthe units
of international harmony are well ascer
tanned, they will coincide with the units else
where. For example, if means Syria, and
the Mediterranean, Turkey would be agitated
II ID means Asia, as a whole, then Russia,
China and Japan would show it, while E
would similarly affect Europe, and especially
Great Britain.
Whatever the key may be, the next adjoin-
ing note is at discord, and, moreover, the
back pressure invariably sxips a year. and
sometimes several years. For example, 1886
being C,the pressure would be from "a on A
and from '82 on +. So that if we give to
Austria and F to France. the translation
would be that France is nagging on Austria,
against the plots of Russia, for the partition
of European Turkey. France secretly engag-
ing to maintain fire in the rear against the
Intervention of Germany, which would be ex-
actly in line with international harmony.
On the other hand, if SO is on d, the back
pressure would be at 'S4, and G at 'S2.
which freely translated would mean an al
lance of Italy. Spain and Germany with
Russia for certain purposes, it may be, of
sinister character, without taking account of
the action of f, which would turn up in al
lance with c anyway.
Admitting the tendency to " universal har-
mony Go millennium, so to speak,. it is a
serious undertaking to place the multitarious
parts in their true relations. There is, in
fact, work for every section of an academy
of science for years to come. provided the
members thereof would approach the study
with candor and a sincere desire to know the
truth, lead where it may. B.

The Coming Home.

Golden rods, cattails. and grasses and

mentation burdened every woman who came

Universal Harmony.

The doctrine of the prevalence Of universal
harmony is very old, but the proofs of it are
of recent date, still open for revision, as they
NAV well be, considering that they cover the
whole scientific field few scattered hints
are here given by way of illustration, premis-
ing that every investigation is liable to error,
and is none the less laudable on that account.
Even error has its place and use.
Tn geology the strata are found laid down
with the greatest regularity, some authors
giving seven divisions, others twelve and
eighteen. and this with the utmost Innocence
of intention, indicating an obvious pre-ar'
arrangement.
In geography the existing measurements
nv latitude aud longitude are more or less
arbitrary, yet, if the unit is one degree, we
cot the nh and 49th, the latter being the nat
nral American and European boundary. II
we measure 40 degrees from the Pole, we get
Rome, Constantinople, New York, Boston
Chicago, and so on.
Another imperfect unit is the Ea9lish
statute mile. The square of ~ is 2+Ol.
Hence the equatorial circumference 10 ten
times 24O0, in round numbers, while the as
,apce of the moon, in sympathy Herewith, is
1oo times o4oO, or "a, 5000 miles, allowance
heng made for error of calculation. And,
he the wny. the moon stands TO the earth in
the relation of to 40. 2400 miles 10 about
SO degrees.
Now sc degrees from the Pole locates the
o;,v If Ouebec, and the British metropolis,
and 70 degrees from the Pole locates the city
~ Mexico. Moreover, the 72nd meridian,
vest marks the eastern coast lie of the
limited States, and another similar stretch
t.tes In the Sandwich Islands. While the
earth thus responds to regular measure
ment. its spaces of land and water, noun
tain and valley, follow in true musical order
and often FIX their own key. Thus, if the key
81 n,d ocean is C, we shall be apt to find its
octave 40 miles inland!

Mr.. George Darwin, the eminent Pro-

are no grounds for supposing that an area
of earthquakes is beginning in the South
ern States. He thinks that it would be
safer to speculate in favor of immunity
for the future. on the ground that expert
ence shows that new line of cracking is
not as likely as an isolated settlement.
The Professor states that knowledge OF
the causes of earthquakes is in the highest
degree speculative. which shows how
