A Railway ON Trestles,

Those who are interested in the develop
ment of agriculture, of mines, or of new
countries by cheap railways should see for
themselves the Lartigue elevated single
rail railway, as constructed experimentally
at Tothil-fields, Victoria street, Westmin-
ster. To construct a railway on this plan
| you put down iron tresties in the form of q
capital letter 4. The rail is on top of the
t~restles the engines and carriages pass
| over the tops of the t~restles, being suspend.
ed from the axles of the wheels which run
on the rail. The rolling-stock is kept in
its place by Hanged horizontal wheels
which run on rails on the outsides of the
~trestles about the distance from the top in
dictated by the cross stroke in a capital a.
| BY using t~restles of different nights you
| can construct a line without l~eveling the
| ground, and can also cross roadways and
streams. An engine is used which takes
one Of the carriages up an incline of in
ten. The line can be made to open like a
gate for a level crossing. Points are man
aged in . similar way. You simply take
out a bolt and pull a few yards of the line
to one side or the other to connect ii with
| another line. Passengers ride, as in Irish
iaunting-cars, sitting with their backs to.
ward the t~restles. In like manner goods
have to be placed on the sides of the trucks,
because an k-shaped space is necessarily
taken out of the middle of all the rolling
| stock. 1t is said that a speed of fifteen
miles an hour can be attained. Passengers
| experience more iolting than on an ordin-
airy railway or on a tram-line. Bills have
been passed authorizing the construction
of two lines on this system. one of ten
miles, between Listowell and Bullybunion,
and one of thirty miles between Lynton in
Devonshire and the Great Western railway.

Magnesium as an nluminant.

"Do you know" said a chemist to an In
dianapolis Journal reporter, that the
metal magnesium is being introduced in
the United States as an illuminant as a
substitute for all other lights?" The list
| ener disclaimed any knowledge on the sub
ject.
Its successful introduction, continued
the speaker, " will depend altogether upon
the cost of IT'S production, nothing but its
high cost preventing its practical use. a
few years ago it was sold at forty dollars a
pound. Now, by a new process (German)
it can be sold at eight dollars a pound, and
there is little doubt that before long it will
be produced even more cheaply-"
Here the chemist took out a shining
piece of what looked like a strip of watch
spring, which he ignited. As it burned it
produced a powerfully brilliant light, more
intense even than electricity.
Its use will not be attended with danger,
like electricity, and it can be arranged SO
that even the remote country church or
da~ncing-hall can have il as well as the
jewellers in the great cities. 1t can be placed
in a lamp. arranged with clock-work move
ments to feed u ribbon of the metal regu-
larly. 1t has a white vapor, oxide of mag
nesium, given off by the metal in burning,
which will require a smoke-bell when
burned in doors"
The chemist ignited another piece of the
watch spring, which glowed like the sun
itself.
1t is said" he continued, that a mag
nesium lamp of 1000 candle power throws
enough light TO distinguish a vessel nine
miles distant. a wire the size of this equals
the light of seventy-five stearine candles.
This would make the cost of magnesium
little more than gas, while no expensive
works or street mains are required for its
use, making its introduction for lightning
towns and villages q ve;y simple matter in
deed. / predict tiial within tive years the
magnesium light will be AS familiar a sight
in many places in l~niitGa as The electric
light Is 10. day in lnAiauaoulis."

Professor Tyndall says the sky is indebted
for its blue color to the particles floating in
the air.
Glass plates have been substituted for
copper in the %sheathing of an Italian ship,
the advantage claimed being exemption
from oxidation and incrustation. The
glass was cast, like iron, in plates to fit the

places to a considerable distance.
The imperceptible motion of the so-called
fixed stars is not only detected by the spec
troscope, but measured. Sirius is found to
be nov approaching the earth at the rate OF

twenty-five miles each second.

Is SHORT HAIR INJURIOUS PA new ter
ror to the toilet has been sprung upon US
this time, strange to state, not by the Lancet.
The alarm is raised on the question of the
length at which the human hair should be
worn. Some uncomfortable theorist has, il
seems, suggested that, as the hair is a con-
ductor of electricity to the brain, it is alb
s~olutely necessary-if a general softening
of that organ on the part of the rising male
generation is to be avoided-for the
practice of INDUCING in a "cIose crop y
to be discontinued. Forthwith the
: anxious father" unbosoms himself
in the daily press, rendered sympa-
thetic by the advent of the dull season. and
demands to know whether the capillary
alarmist is a true prophet. Without ventur-
ing an opinion on so vital q point, one can
not but reflect that there are many brains
into which the fusion of some amount of
motive force. electrical or otherwise, would
be anything but a misfortune. 1t is a pity
though that the new theory was not
preached some five or six years ago, dur
ing the hight of "esthetic craze for it
would certainly have made many converts
to the style of hairdressing cultivated
by Oscar Wilde before that apostle of cult
ure sacrificed his own locks in Difference 10

THE on1elNALC opy.-The original parch

THE ORIGINAL CoPY.-The original parch-
ment copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence is no. "irretrievably destroyed" 1t
was nearly ruined about sixty or sixty-five
years ago, so that its immortal signatures
are hardly legible. An e%nterprising indi-
yidual, l think of the name of Tyler, hen
conceived the idea that a facsimile of it
would be a popular thing to sell, and APP
to make one. He was referred to the Sec
rotary of State, Mr.. Adams, who saw no
harm in having it done, and gave the de-
sired permission. The applicant then
placed a damp sheet of paper on it latter
the manner of coppef-plate printers), and
putting a heavy pressure upon 1t, the ink
of the signatures was readily absorbed on
the damp sheet, rendering many of them
that happened to be written lightly almost
illeglble. Fortunately, that of John Han
cock, written so boldly. that all the world
could read it, is nearly as legible as ever.
AS schoolboys say, he probably bore on
hard, " and the ink had settled too much in
the parchment to be transferred readily to
the damp paper. Several other signatures
are tolerably legible. The writer resided
in Washington for nearly twenty years
during the war and reconstruction period,
and often examined the document, which
then hung in the Patent Office, where
many other Revolutionary relics were pre-
served. Probably it has since been re-
moved to the State Department or TO the
National Museum. Several schemes have
been suggested for restoring, as far as pos
sible, the nearly obliterated signatures

FLIGHT OF THE SPARRows.-Within the
last month or so the English sparrows have
almost entirely disappeared from their
haunts in Reading and vicinity. Where
recently thousands of these little busy,
pugnacious, chirping fellows have congre-
gated there are scarcely any to be seen.
The yards and gardens and parks and
| streets are almost entirely bare of them.
! They appear to have taken umbrage at the
hostility manifested against them by the
general public of late years, and at the laws
passed by the Legislatures of a number OF
| States pennsylvania among the rest for
| thei. destruction, and to have winged their
| flight to sections of the country where they
viii be better appreciated. 1t is also a note
worthy fact that since the departure of the
little savages the numerous insect pests
that prove so unsightly and destructive to
our fruit trees and ~shrubbery have largely
| increased in their ravages. The nasty tent
caterpillars are appearing in myriads, and
are weaving their deadly and unsightly
webs in our groves, orchards and gardens.
Not since the coming of h English spar
rows. a score or more of years ago, have
the fruit trees suffered so much damage as
they are doing within a few days or weeks
of their departnre.-Reddiag lPd) Times.

GERMANYs PIGEON STATIONS ~ FRANCE
A singular story appears in one OF The
French military papers, and if the details
are correct it is not surprising that the in
| cidents should have excited something like
a sensation at the French War Office. 1t is
| stated that a gentleman at Nevers, the other
day shot a pigeon, and found its wings
| stamped with the imperial arms OF Ger
many, while attached to them was a quill
with a cipher dispatch. The pigeon and
dispatch were, it is said, sent to the French
| War Office, and inquiries being made ap-
pear to confirm the belief that the Ger
mans have established pigeon stations on
French territory, and that messages are
even now exchanged between these stations
/ and the military staff at Berlin. Should
these statements prove true, they may well
cause both uneasiness and anger in France.
1t is a very strong step to organize pigeon
| stations, with a view to invasion. in a
country with which peaceful relations pre-
vail. 1t is certain that this system was,
previous to the war of 1871, carried on in
France by German officers to an extraor-
binary extent, and that the invading army
was far better acquainted with every road
and by-way and with every particular OF
the country than were the defenders, but
this establishment of pigeon posts in a
friendly country, for the purpose of giving
assistance to an invading army. would GER
tainly seem to be an indefensible step, and
one which the French have a right to re-
sent.-London Standard.

remarkable change, Its area being $50
square miles a century ago, while it now
consists of three small ponds, the largest
