Presaging n Hot Wave.
READING, Pa, Aug. 2.-This city had a
remarkable visitation last night. Myriads
of insects infested the air, resembling at a
distance snow-storm. They were first
noticed flying around electric lights about
8 O'Clock, and gradually increased to such
numbers as to obscure the brilliancy Of the
lights. Fires were built under the
lights and heaps Of the moths were burned.
The doors and windowsof dwelling houses
had also to be kept closed 10 keep
them out. Local scientists pronounced
them cotton moths, and they evidently
came from the South. These are said to
precede hot wave, and decided rise in
the temperature is predicted.

RAILROAD BUILDING IN WINTER.
Digging Through the Snow Drifts In
Northern Maine.

The Canadian Pacific folks are displaying
good deal of sand in keeping up their rail-
road building through the unfortunate
weather of the past month, says the Fair
field Journal, and If this persistence holds
out there is no doubt but that by next fall at
the specified time, the whistle of the loco
motive will be heard through the hitherto
painless soltudes of Northern Maine.
While railroad building in the summer is
by no means picnic, in the winter, even
with favorable weather, its difficulties are
doubled. Deep SHOWS are not the worst diff
ficulties either, it has to contend with. In
all the larger operations, wooden tracks are
constructed along the road bed and on this
from cut to ill the earth is hauled in little
wooden dump cars. These tracks have Of
course to be kept as clean and free as if
for locomotive instead of these miniature
horse cars. Imagine, then, the difficulties
the contractor has to struggle with. A deep
snow comes, the crew has to be employed in
shoyelipg snow instead of gravel, and no
plow to help. The next day it rains or is
warmer and melts, and at night freezes, the
low wooden tracks are filled with ice, and
shovel and pick both have to be employed,
it oftentimes taking all day to remedy the
results of short shower. But when the
track is cleared after a warm day followed
by cold night, the difficulties are by no
means all overcome.
The hard pin gravel, difficult enough to
work any way is frozen solid A pick hard
